The Wonders of Skyrim

For the first time since coming here, I walked out the door, not in the event of danger, but just to go outside. The crisp air had the smell of cinnamon, wheat and other things. My gaze lingered on a group of ponies, they were whispering in a huddled group, one of them would glance up at me, seeing me watching they quickly ducked back down. I whispered "laas, yah, nir." I immediately regretted doing that, my eyesight lit up not unlike a Christmas tree, green, some yellow lights appeared all over my vision. Twilight had followed me out, I let my hood fall around my neck, as the sun's rays beat down upon me. I consulted Twilight, "Hey Twilight, is it okay if I summon a dragon?" Her eyes went wide, and I quickly added, "Don't worry, he wont attack PonyVille." She looked reluctant but finally said, "Sure."

I screamed into the air, "OD, AH, VIING!" A lot of the ponies jumped in fright at the sudden sound coming from a bipedal lizard. I watched the skies, soon enough I heard a screech pierce the air, my pet dragon finally erupted into view. His red scales glimmered in the full rays of the sun. He majestically hovered in the air, before dropping the ground. "Hello, once again Dragonborn." He stated in a deep gravelly voice. I reached up and rubbed his nose, he hummed a melodic tone, and I finally said, "Odahviing, I need you to guard this town with your life, Alduin may be coming here." He gave me a sad look and said, "I do not wish to hurt another of my kind, but I shall do as requested." He lifted his bat like wings into the air and shot off, causing a group of ponies that had gathered, to run off screaming. I groaned, after waiting a few minutes which were greeted with a lot of ponies running around and causing a racket, I was finally able to use Kyne's Peace, "KAAN, DREM, OV" Almost as if on cue they all stopped running around and looked confused as to why they were running around again. "Man, it feels good to be dragonborn." I thought aloud.

Twilight took a step towards me, "Wow, I didn't think that was even possible! How did you tame a dragon? And, how did you calm all the ponies just by shouting?" I chuckled, "I tamed the dragon by holding it captive at Dragonsreach, and the other thing I did was a thu'um called Kyne's peace, it causes all creatures within hearing range lose the will to flee or fight. unfortunately it only lasts a few minutes before wearing off." Twilight looked at me with a aura of awe surrounding her, she then became confused, "Dragonsreach?" I looked down at Twilight and replied, "Dragonsreach is where the Jarl lives, Dragonsreach is in Whiterun which is located on the eastern end of its Hold, in the tundra plains that fills the center of Skyrim. It was founded by Jeek of the River, who was the captain of Jorrvaskr. Upon discovery of the Skyforge, he and his men constructed the great mead hall of Jorrvaskr, which at the time was the sole structure on the bluff. Now, Whiterun is a large city, albeit one that retains the feel of a smaller Nord village. The central location and easy access make it one of the most successful cities in trade.

When approaching Whiterun, the towering fortress of Dragonsreach dominates the view. Its history can be traced back to the First Era, when King Olaf One-Eye subdued the great dragon Numinex in a legendary duel of Thu’ums atop Mount Anthor, and brought him back to the fledgling town as a captive. It was then that the magnificent keep was rebuilt and renamed to serve as a cage for Numinex, whose head still adorns the Great Hall."

Where this Info is found

After that brief description Twilight asked another question, "And, how do you know all this?" I answered simply, "I live there, its best to know the history of where you live." As I said this the great and elegant beast, made another pass of the town, sometimes alighting on the ground, but never getting so close as to frighten the residents. Pretty soon I heard hoofs approaching, I turned my gaze from the dragon to the ponies that were closing in. It was a large group, almost as if all of Ponyville were running towards us, in fact it may have been.

There was a gray mare in the lead of the charging group, she was adorned with glasses, and a smart shirt. It looked like a really messed up rainbow, with a few Pegasi following above. I was tackled by a cyan mare with a rainbow mane, it screamed at me, fear evident on its face, "I KNEW WE COULDN'T TRUST YOU! WHY DID YOU BRING A DRAGON HERE?" I had no answer to that, I was still trying to figure out what was going on, when a purple glow enveloped the mare and lifted her off of me. I whispered, "TIID KLO UL" As if seen on a projector the world around me turned grey and slowed. I got up, to the ponies it would probably look like I shouted at them and was moving at unnatural speed. I felt the world slowly going back to its normal speed, as I stood seeing the color return to the world.

Rainbow Dash screamed at me, "WHAT DID YOU JUST DO?" Her muzzle was instantly quieted by Twilight's magic, I sighed and stared at the assembled ponies who were glaring at me and some were shouting insults. "If you will all be quiet I think he would explain!" Twilight shouted causing all the ponies to quiet at once. My mouth opened and I started talking in a small voice on purpose, if I was quiet they would have to be silent to hear my words. "I summoned a dragon to protect this town," Odahviing flew over again getting a few starts from the crowd. "He wont hurt you, I made sure of that, I'm only doing this because I got an Omen from Vaermina, a god from my land, that a ancient dragon is going to attack here, I know this is true because I summoned Odahviing, my dragon, if I couldn't then I knew I could doubt the omen, which even then wouldn't be smart. Those shouts you heard are called thu'um to be able to use a thu'um you need to fully understand the words you are shouting, this is the language of the dragons. I am Dragonborn meaning I have the ability to grasp the knowledge and power from other dragons and grasp the concept of a word in a matter of seconds, while for others it would take years just to master one word." I took a breath, "I'm just doing this a precaution I dont want to get caught with my pants down, so to speak."

The grey mare spoke up, "Well, how can we trust you? For all we know you could be trying to earn our trust and then turn it against us." This is the question I was dreading, how would I get out of this one? But thankfully I was saved by Twilight, "I can make sure he won't be doing anything bad, I'll keep an eye on him, since he is living with me." Twilight had finally put Rainbow Dash down, and the other four came out from the crowd, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie were all looking worried, I felt anxiety starting to build. Everyone kept on giving me distrustful stares, Pinkie Pie was the first to say anything, "Twilight, you sure about this?" I was shocked, this was nothing like the earlier Pinkie, Applejack spoke up next, "Twi, I don' wan' anythin' to happin' tah y'ah, please," at this part she held her hat in a hoof against her chest, "please be careful." I rolled my eyes as Rarity spoke up, "Darling, I really don't want anything to happen to you, "She spoke in a whisper now, "I dont trust that lizard guy." At this I was starting to get angry, I snorted, Fluttershy hid her face in her mane and said in a near silent whisper, "Twilight, he's really scary." She breathed the last part, she squeaked when I narrowed my eyes, she lunged back into the crowd.

At this point, I was already angry so I just stood there gritting my teeth and wincing when my incisors cut the gums of the my teeth. I let my gaze wander, anger turning my face from its peaceful expression into a reflection of the mood I was in. My feathers quivered as I took in a deep breath trying to calm myself, I adjourned the crowd by whispering, "Strun bah qo." Causing dark clouds to cover the beautiful day, much to the ponies confusion of the almost instant storm. Rain began to pelt the gathered creatures, I took this as my opportunity to go inside the tree. Twilight followed me in quickly and made hasty good byes to the other ponies as she closed the door.

She stared at me and asked, "You caused the storm didn't you?" I answered with a simple nod, I looked at the magically imbued sundial and saw the time was 3:45 PM. I grimaced, today was going to be a long day.

__________________________________________________________________________________

I had asked Twilight for a Alchemy table, she found an old one she didn't use anymore and let me use it. After a few attempts I made 8 healing potions, 5 stamina, 6 magicka, and 1 invisibility potion. Which added to my current pile of potions would make it be, 15 healing potions, 21 stamina, 18 magicka, 5 invisibility and a few other potions that I hardly used like, increased archery and increased sneak. Twilight looked at me awkwardly when I stared chewing on bear claws, mixed with some glowing nirnroot. Once the storm subsided to a faint drizzle I checked the time to see it was 8:35 PM, I took my ingredients and went to sleep on the library floor once more...
