The Wonders of Skyrim

I awoke to the sun's gentle rays, as I had a few times before. My eyes wandered around the room, I didn't want to leave the warm blankets I was enveloped in, but forced myself out of the ungainly pile of cloth. I slipped on my pack, sword and bow, I found the Alchemy table where I left it in the kitchen. I pulled out the ingredients that were remaining within the bag. All I had left were some purple mountain flowers, salt and a bee. Not much I could do with this, so I put them together to find a weird mix of stamina and health. I of course discarded this, trying to mix two potion abilities usually caused the consumer to die after a few minutes of consumption.

I heard Twilight's hoof falls as she trotted down the stairs into the kitchen, I said good morning, she responded with a nod. I found some wheat in the pantry, I asked Twilight, "Hey, do you have any Imp Stool?" She was busy making breakfast because she didn't have anything to do today, and Spike was asleep. "Um, there should be some over by the river in the Everfree forest, but I would rather head on over to Zecora, she has ton of the things." Twilight yawned and carried her breakfast over to the table which consisted of, cereal, and some orange juice. I pulled out a goat cheese wedge, and chewed happily. "Well, see ya later then." and with that I left the house.

Ponies didn't give me anymore distrustful glares but still kept their distance. I looked overhead to see Odahviing circling the town, his red scales glimmered in the young morning sky. I kept on walking toward the distant and dangerous looking forest, soon I left the hard gravel behind to grass. The trees seemed to beckon to me, wanting me to crawl in and get mauled by some beast of the wild. I followed the dirt path that cut through the jungle like a scar, plants surrounded me, their green foliage blocking light and whatever may be lurking in the darkness. I walked for what seemed like hours, but what really may have been 15 minutes, soon I found myself at a river. I searched the banks looking for some sort of mushroom, my eyes caught sight of a yellow plump cylinder, only problem, it was on the other bank.

I readied my voice and spoke in a commanding tone, "WULD, NAH KEST!" I felt my body get propelled by some unknown force, I landed on the opposite bank, to any onlooker it would look I teleported. I picked a large batch of the mushrooms that had a sickly yellow aura around them. My shouting evidently angered some beast, as I heard a audible roar come from somewhere on the bank where I used to stand. A large cat creature with bat wings and a barbed scorpion tail came out of the trees, obviously trying to find where the source of the sound came from. It slowly looked around, it's eyes slowly resting on me, it roared again, not unlike a sabre cat. It charged through the water, I stood my ground as I gritted my teeth and narrowed my eyes. A second before impact I quickly shouted, "FEIM ZII GRON!"  My body including armor and bag, became a blue silhouette of what used to be. My ethereal form passed through the cat harmlessly, I ran through the water, not needing to worry about the current as it passed right through me but, I didn't wanna get caught in the water if the shout wore off too soon.

I reached the other side to see the giant cat, turn around and ran at me again, unfortunately I couldn't use my thu'um because my life essence needed a moment to recharge. I whipped out my bow with a creepy and deadly practice as I notched a arrow I fired, it only hit the cat's left foreleg causing it to get even angrier. I turned around and ran, I sheathed my bow and remembered the spell I used with the dragon, I cast ironskin on myself and torn around with my sword already out. The cat barely had time to react as I dove to the right and slashed its torso. It landed on its paws and growled at me, it hissed and spat with its ears laid back. My thu'um was finally recharged, the split second I felt my power return I screamed, "MUL QAH!" My arms and shoulders became encased in a other worldly glow, as I felt unnatural strength enter my limbs, I gave a battle cry and charged, if the beast wasn't already startled by my appearance, it definitely was put in a trance by my battle prowess.

I ran the fire imbued sword through its chest as it had shock, fear, anger and calmness in it's eyes. It's body shook twice before falling over, I gasped, now I know why ponies dont venture into here. I looked over myself, only a few scratches, but I couldn't really tell, because the magical armor was shining a bit too bright. I finally looked around me to see I was in a clearing, away from the river, in fact, as much as I hated to admit it, I was lost...

I had been wandering for a few hours, trying to get my bearings or any trail to Ponyville at all, but only to come up with my trees, branches, and other foliage. I even tried Aura Whisper again, but to only come up with squirrels and birds. After a while of traveling I came upon a large stone structure covered in moss, lichens and other planty things. I had wandered around inside, finding nothing I had left the place. I kept on traveling hoping to find a town of some sort, but I found something else instead. A door with a skull covered in blood, it was made of iron, I knocked out of pure spite. I heard a deep booming voice, "What is the music of life?" My head perked up, I heard this before. It was from... from... from the Dark Brotherhood! I answered with a hapless grin on my face. "Silence, my brother." I heard a click and the voice was heard once more, "Welcome brother."

I opened the door to find a staircase, I felt a major sense of deja vu, the stairs turned right, and I emerged into a cave not unlike the one from Skyrim, in fact, when I was outside I even saw a dark pool of water. Could this be? I looked around no one, or nopony were around. I heard a blade slide from its sheath and I instantly said, "Wait, brother or sister, I wish for peace." I heard a hesitant breath behind me, I turned around to see another Argonian, he looked familiar, he had a knife poised above my head, I felt recognition building in me, I narrowed my eyes and said, "Narsis?" He looked at me confused, before he recognized me, with a grin he hugged me and said, "Jiques! It's been too long!" He didn't have feathers like I did, just a few horns that sprouted out, like poles on a fishing dock, I returned the hug. He pulled away and sheathed his daedric knife.

I grinned and said, "Wow, can't believe you're here, and our first encounter is you nearly killing me, glad to see that we are in the same situation as before." We both laughed at this, his expression went solemn after this point, "Jiques, I have no idea where we are, I felt a voice calling me from our mother, he pointed up at the room that held the woman in the coffin. I felt like I was in a dream, I walked into the coffin with and felt the mother embrace me. She whispered something to me I don't remember, but when I came out I was here." He finished as I looked around, and said, "Where is everyone else? Like Astrid, and the others." He just shook his head, "I dont know." We walked out of the cave, as we exited we were greeted by the sun. We talked about how we got here, how I got here, (to the hideout of course,) the pony Twilight Sparkle, Equestria, the rulers, and the residents.

We walked for awhile before we stumbled upon a familiar dirt path, I looked off in one direction, Narsis in the other. I could see a silhouette of a town off in the distance, I motioned for Narsis and said, "We go this way."

*******************************************

Twilight was having trouble concentrating, she was supposed to be turning a apple into an orange, but she couldn't help think about Jiques, he was gone for quite awhile. She truly did hope he was okay, of course she wouldn't say this to his face, but she did miss his presence. She had also been doing other things, like getting him a real bed, and some other ingredients for potion making, she even went as far as to try and find a weapon enchanter, it enchanted both armor and weapons, but the person, had to have some ability in this class, know the enchantment, and have a soul gem, with a soul trapped within to power the enchantment. Now you might be thinking where did she even find this stuff? Some pony wearing a black cloak in an alleyway...

*******************************************

The town was now fully in sight, Narsis gave a sigh of relief, but he jumped when he saw Dovahviing alight in front of us. He spoke in his deep, commanding, yet gentle gravely tone. "Dragonborn, I couldn't detect your presence for a long while, it worried me quite so." I rubbed his head, he purred and I said, "Its okay, Dovahviing, I was just out gathering some stuff and got lost." The dragon accepted this and took off, Narsis looked at me in disbelief, "You tamed a dragon?" He looked incredulous, and shook his head as his jaw hang open. I just chuckled and walked into the town, a few ponies were surprised to see another of my kind, in a red outfit instead of my black one. Before Narsis could even comment on the residents, a pink blur came out of no where, and I inwardly groaned as she started shouting about a party...
