The Voice of Harmony
Chapter 1 A Legend
Load Full StoryNext ChapterTwilight was going through her library AGAIN. She was just about to finish reorganizing the ancient legends section, when she came across a book she had never seen before. It was titled "The Tale of the Dragonborn". She was confused as she thought she had read every book in her library ........ Twice. She read through the book and read Everything that was in the book of the Dragonborn, from being able to slay evil dragons absorb their power and use for them self. To the prophecy of the World Eater returning but being slain by the Dragonborn. She became curious as she read the last sentence is the book t seemed to be glowing. It was supposedly a one time use of the Dragonborn's power.
"Strun Zii Gut" (yes I just crossed three different shouts). Upon Twilight's speaking of that sentence, over the Everfree Forest a Maelstrom formed sending a large stream of lightening straight into the center of the forest and all of Equestria was flooded with an incredible amount of magic, in far off areas certain Pegasi and earth ponies began to cast low level spells from their hooves. This however only lasted a few moments as the world finished absorbing the magic overload. Twilight was both in awe as she thought, 'this is the power of the Dragonborn' and terrified as she thought what else may have come through that explosion of magic. She decided to send the princess a letter explaining he situation and the brief summary of the Dragonborn.
"Spike!" Twilight shouted. "Get the girls and meet me at the Everfree Forest." Spike ran outside to gather the Mane 6, of course he would have to get Fluttershy before Dash since Dash lives in a cloud. Twilight had to prepare everything she had, including the Elements of Harmony.
An hour later the mane six were gathered outside of the Everfree Forest. "So Twi what happened." Applejack was the first to break the silence.
"I-I think I may have summoned a legend to the forest," she said nervously as they all looked at her like she was crazy. "Did you see that huge lightning storm above it a little while ago?" They nodded, "That happened after I read the last page of this book out loud." She showed them the last page of the book.
"What's a Dragonborn?" Dash asked confused.
"Oooooh is it like a newborn dragon!?!" Pinkie pie shouted.
"No, it is some sort of bipedal creature, and they or one of their ancestors had done such good in their life they were granted the blood and soul of a dragon." Twilight said, quoting from the book.
" Well if this thing is that powerful and it's here we should get going and find it." Applejack said slightly frightened by the being Twilight had described.
They ventured through the forest, heading towards its' center. They neared a clearing and found all of the grass in this area had been burnt away.
"What the heck." Dash exclaimed as she then heard the growls of a pack of manticores.
"Nooooononono No! I came out here to find a legend I don't want to even see those beasts." Rarity exclaimed while trying to climb up a tree like her cat. The bat winged monsters began to move from the trees, their jaws watering for the feast before them. As they approached Twilight raised a field to protect her friends but unfortunately the Applejack had chosen to run of jus before it formed to buck one of them in the chest. The manticore in front slashes at the earth pony, wounding her severely.
"Applejack no, quick get back in the shield." Twilight screamed. The manticore stood over the wounded earth pony about to chomp down on her.
"Fus Ro Dah!" The unknown language thundered, as the pack of manticores flew back most of them slamming into trees. Before the mane 6 stood a tall figure within black cloaked figure. "Mul Qah Diiv!" He shouted once more, he was now surrounded in a dancing light as he appeared to be wearing some sort of spiritual armor. The helm had that resembling that of dragon horns. He the walked over to the immobile orange earth pony. He held out his hands which started to glow a bright golden light. All of AJ's wounds healed themselves almost immediately. "Take your friend and get in that cave, you won't want to be out in the open for this." He said pointing one of his gloved digits to a small cavern. As soon as the Mane 6 were fully inside it they stared at the hooded creature in awe. He stared down the now standing beasts, "Strun Bah Qo!" Twilight recognized the first word, and once the last word floated from his mouth, a shockwave similar to the one that had occurred before sounded. Summoning another maelstrom, this one struck down each and every one of the manticores, Dash could only squeal as the biped manipulated the weather to such a degree as to use it in combat. They were about to walk out to properly greet the being when he shouted one last time for the time being. "Lok Vah Koor!" Quickly the dark ominous and violent skies cleared, leaving behind a clear and bright warm sky.
Rainbow Dash immediately flew up to the creature and greeted him with such glee she would have put Pinkie to shame. "HeyIAmRainbowDashWhoAreYouHowDidYouDoThat?!?!?!?"
"My friends call me Scar." He said as he pulled down his hood revealing reptilian features, "And as for how I did that, I am Dragonborn." Twilight's eyes started to glow with the knowledge that yet another legend is true. "I apologize if this is rude, but where am I and what are you?" He asked the still shocked mares.
"We are ponies and you are in Equestria Mr.Scar." Twilight answered after a few moments of awkward silence. "Do you happen to have any other magic besides your voice?" She asked wanting to see what else he could do.
"I have mastered all forms of magic from where I come from," he began. "It would take a week to show you everything." As he said this Twilight's jaw broke he stone floor of the cave. "However I can get me and one other person to town very quickly, so who wants to?" Rainbow Dash responded by immediately hugging his face. "Okay but we will have to wait about ten seconds for him to get here, Od Ah Viin!" Nothing seemed to happen, but then they heard a roar. They knew what it must have been and they were all about to hide, when a full grown red and gray dragon landed on the ground in front of Scar.
"Dovahkiin why has thou called me to this strange place." The dragon spoke softly for a creature his size.
"I want you to give me and this mare here," he gestured to Rainbow Dash. "A ride to the edge of the forest close to the nearest town." He said sternly as though it was he was commanding it, not asking it.
"Very well Dovahkiin climb on and I shall deliver you." He said and lowered his head to allow Scar and Dash to get on, needless to say Dash was speechless. After all she was about to ride a dragon.
Scar got on the dragon's head and held on with one hand on it's horn, the other hand was holding the young Pegasus as it sat in his lap. With one powerful flap he three were now towering above the forest, and it merely took a couple seconds before the dragon circled around, about to land outside of the Everfree.
"Well Twi ah hope that was the kind of thing you expected from your legend." Applejack said, still coming to terms with what the heck just happened. Twilight looked over to notice Rarity's eyes wide open.
"Rarity what's wrong?" Twilight asked.
Rarity snapped out of her vice, "N-nothing Twilight, I was just thinking." Twilight new Rarity was hiding something but she knew it would do no good to pester her about it right now. Twilight decided to teleport them to Dash and Scar. As soon as they got their she noticed that for a second that look came across Rarity's face again, this time only for a second. "Mr.Scar I was just wondering where did you get that amulet of yours it is absolutely priceless?" Rarity pointed at the gold and diamond necklace that Scar was wearing.
"This?" Scar looked at her for a second strangely. "This was a special token my friend gave me as a gift for helping her." He said with a sad smile on his face, making it clear he hasn't seen his friend in a while. "But, enough about the past, Sanguine would kill me if I didn't get to have some fun in this world."
"Who is Sanguine?" Twilight asked.
"Sanguine is one of the Daedric Princes, but don't let the name fool you the princes are genderless. Before I tell what Sanguine specifically is I will explain the Daedric Princes." Scar began, "In my world we have several gods who protect us and give us guidance, we call them Aedra." Twilight instantly though of Princess Celestia when he said this. "We also have several creatures known as the Daedric Princes, each of them is almost as powerful as the Aedra. However the Daedric Princes do not hold the same principles as the Aedra, some of them are quite cruel and evil and will only bestow gifts upon those that entertain them. And while some of them are not entirely evil and one or two may even be nice, they each hold their own law that may be helpful or hurtful to the world. There is Sanguine the Daedric Prince of mischief and merriment, he enjoys pulling pranks and bringing happiness similar to that which one would experience at a party." Pinkie Pie instantly started glowing, which confused Scar a bit. "Next there is Azura, no one knows quite what she enjoys but she can see into the future and if one pleases her they may get a gift or their fortune told. Then there is Mephala, she enjoys whispering to people as if she was their inner thoughts, she tugs on the strings of trust, love, friendship, anger, hate, and deceit. The one she can influence but not cause however is betrayal she loves it when mortals do that." They all shuddered at the thought of what she would do in Equestria. "Next is Boethiah she likes death, lots of it, it creeps me out. Hermaeus Mora Daedric Prince of forbidden knowledge, basically if it exists he knows about it. Next is Sheogorath, he is my second favorite, he causes chaos, it's simple and yet it isn't he has the imagination of a four year old on a sugar rush and the power to destroy a mountain with a flick of his hand, one of his favorites is explosive cheese." Dash made a joke that Sheo might be Discords father. "Then there is Meridia, she is the Daedric Prince of light, she imbued a blade with the very power of the sun to destroy dark creatures of my world, unfortunately, even if they weren't evil." This made Fluttershy almost cry. "Then there is Clavicus Vile, the trickster, basically any deal made with him would ruin someones life, if not yours. Now the three worst of the Daedra," at that statement the girls prepared themselves for what they were about to hear. "Basically Namibia, the Daedric Prince of everything that is vile," most of the girls didnt see what was wrong with that part. "She turned most of her worshippers into cannibals." All of the girls looked like they were about to throw up. "Then Molag Bol and Mehrunes Dagon, Molag wanted to rule everything as a tyrant, while Dagon simply hated those that were weak, if you were weak and he had the opprotunity he would kill you." Scar was saddened by everything he just said but then, he smiled. "But for each of these there is a complete opposite, and they are the Aedra, each of them represented something different, but they all held the same six common atributes. Honesty," Applejack's ears perked up, "Loyalty" Rainbow Dash just smiled, "Generosity". Rarity knew where this was going, "Happiness" Pinkie was still glowing like a supernova. "Kindness" Fluttershy started to come out from behind Applejack. "And a hell of a lot of magic." Twilight was just smiling because of how cheesy this whole moment was.
"Anyway we should be getting to town I'll need to rest if I know what Sanguine and that pink one have planned for me." He said while walking to town.
"Wait, the ponies of ponyville will probably be really terrified when they see you." When Twilight said that Scar just got a look in his eye.
"I would prefer to make a direct impression on them, if I am not honest like I was with you, then how will any of them come to trust me and what's more why would I deserve their trust." He looked down at the mare and smiled.
"Yes, Applejack he is the kind of legend I was hoping for." She said turning to her friend.
As the group walked into the town just as predicted, everyone lost their fucking minds. Upon sight ponies started running to their homes and locking their doors screaming things to garbled to understand. "Well in all seriousness this isn't the worst reaction I got to entering a town." He said still smiling, "And don't ask because I won't tell you." he said looking at Twilight. Once they had reached Twilight's library he practically collapsed onto a couch. Scar then activated telekinesis to grab a book off the shelf and started reading for a moment before putting it back. "Oh I almost forgot, Pinkie I have a gift for you." Everyone looked at him with that 'WHY, WHY HER JUST WHY' look on their face. Scar clapped his hands twice and a creepy looking red faced bipedal creature in robes appeared. "Hello I assume you have been taking care of my stuff." Scar said looking at the creature.
"Yes master and what is it you would like from your inventory." It replied back
"Would you please give me Sanguine's Rose." The being materialized a large staff resembling a rose and gave it to Scar.
"Thank you you may go." The being nodded before vanishing into a black vortex yet again.
"Um what was that." Twilight asked half scared half curious about the being that was just in her home.
"That Twilight is a Dremora, they are the servants of the Daedra. But after making it through one of Hermaeus Mora's realms I got him as a butler." Scar said smiling as he held the staff. "And this is Sanguine's Rose, it has the power to summon a Dremora warrior in case of emergency. And I'm giving it to Pinkie because she reminds me so much of the staff's creator." He smiled and handed the staff to Pinkie. "By the way do you mind if I summon another friend, he is one of the few I think I can bring to this world and he won't hurt anyone unless they attack me first." Twilight nodded, and suddenly a blue vortex appeared, leaving behind a ghostly figure. "This is Lucien Lachance." The ghostly figure got a hold of his new surroundings and bowed to Twilight as he could tell this was her home.
"Well he sure is polite." Was the only thing Twilight could say before a pink blur sped by her and enveloped Lucien and Scar in a hug.
"Oh thank you I love the rose, and tell Sanguine I said thanks too!" She exclaimed before speeding off to plan for a party tomorrow.
"I honestly wouldn't be suprised if that were Sanguine's daughter." Scar said smiling as everyone just stared at him for a second.
"Anyway," He said as he began to lay down on the couch. "I am really getting tired, I've been up for almost a year straight." They were about to question if he was exaggerating when he fell asleep in an instant. They all though to themselves the exact same thing 'Today has been an eventful day'.
