Rathion stood at the top of the Throat of the world as his new arch nemesis, Secronel Nistrn, hovered above him. Rathion tightened his grip on his sword and shield before launching himself forward and up into the air. Secronel moved to the side in an attempt to avoid the attack but failed. Rathion grabbed onto his wing and tore it apart with his Daedric sword, forcing Secronel to land. As Secronel landed he shook off Rathion and tossed him into the rocks, breaking a bone or two.
Rathion got up and spat out some blood as he snarled, "Well I guess I shouldn't underestimate you, after all, you aren't Alduin or those weak ass elder dragons," Rathion said as he used his marked for death shout on Secronel, making him significantly weaker.
"Foolish mortal. It will take more than those shouts to stop me!" Secronel roared as Rathion used his whirlwind shout to ram into Secronel.
As the two collided, Rathion shoved his sword into the side of Secronel, tearing the scales apart and ripping his flesh up. Secronel Roared as his side burned like the very fires of hell. He could feel the power of the Daedric Princes. Secronel felt the Knowledge of Hermaeus Mora, the fury of Molag Bal, the wrath of Mehrunes Dagon, and the Madness of Sheogorath along with the other Daedric princes. Rathion was powerful and certainly a worthy opponent, but even the power of him and these Daedric lords wasn't enough to kill him.
Secronel used his unrelenting force shout on Rathion to blow him away, "Fus ro dah!" Secronel shouted as Rathion was blown back to the edge of a cliff. Secronel walked up slowly to Rathion, shaking the ground below his hand like paws. As Secronel was mere feet away, Rathion gritted his teeth and jumped back up, landing on Secronel's snout. Secronel roared as he thrashed about and used all sorts of magic to try and kill Rathion. Rathion was now sitting on his neck as Secronel used a restoration shout to restore his wings and heal his wounds. While doing this, Secronel took off and started flying as Rathion held on tightly. Secronel decided to combine his magics to create a teleport of sorts by using dimensional travel.
As he casted the spell hundreds of feet below him Secronel dove downward at break neck speeds into the large portal, "Dovahkiin, if I cannot kill you maybe the fabrics of the universe will!" Secronel roared as he darted into the portal with Rathion on his back. Rathion growled as the magics teared at his flesh and very soul. After three minutes, the two entered a new land and were on fire, now hurtling down to the ground at unimaginable speeds. Rathion was now unable to hold on anymore and let go. Rathion then casted multiple protection spells as he was one hundred feet from the ground. Rathion closed his eyes and braced for impact.
-Minutes earlier-
Twilight and her friends were outside watching the night sky and having a good time. They had a campsite set up to watch and sleep under the stars.
Pinkie bounced over to Twilight, smiling gleefully, "Twilight this is the best! I love watching stars and looking at the moon!" Pinkie Pie said as she hugged one of her best friends tightly.
"P-Pinkie I-I need air," Twilight said as she tried to separate herself from Pinkie Pie's death grip of a hug.
"Oops sorry!" Pinkie said as she let go of Twilight and smiled sheepishly, blushing a bit.
Applejack chuckled and sighed, shaking her head, "Pinkie ya need to understand that ya can't hug that tightly," Applejack said as she went over to help Twilight up.
Twilight stood up as Rainbow Dash chuckled and floated above Applejack with a bucket of ice cold water. As Dash giggled Pinkie did as well. Watching carefully, Dash then dumped the water on Applejack, making her scream.
"AAHHH!" Applejack screamed as she was soaked with the coldest water she had ever felt. Applejack looked up to see Dash floating in midair, laughing her ass off. Applejack growled and used her rope to pull Rainbow Dash out of the air and to the ground. Applejack then tackled Dash and started giving her a noogie.
"AH! No Applejack stop!" Dash said as both she and Applejack giggled and laughed as they rolled around on the grass.
"Alright you two, knock it off. The meteor shower starts in a minute or two," Twilight said, using her magic to separate them. Applejack giggled as Rainbow Dash rubbed her head.
The two were set on the ground and let go. Twilight then turned around and looked through her telescope, waiting for the meteor shower to begin. After a while, a meteor shower started and everyone marveled at the beautiful sight. About five minutes in a huge meteoroid appeared, sending out a large energy wave. Twilight and the others fell onto their behinds as the meteor flew right over their heads and a tiny ape shaped object let go of what looked like to be a dragon. The smaller object crashed into the ground about twenty or so yards away as the main meteor flew past the mountains and landed ten to twelve miles away.
"What the hay was that?" Applejack asked, looking at the smoke trail that was left behind.
"It looked like a curled up dragon and an ape like figure," Twilight responded as she gathered a few things and headed for the ape like creature.
Twilight was then stopped by Applejack and Rarity, "Darling you can't go over there! What if he's one of those dreadful Minotaurs or a wild monkey?" Rarity said, clearly worried and disgusted.
"Girls! We need to see what that figure was! It could still be alive!" Twilight said as she broke away from her two friends and rushed towards the ape like being.
As she got closer, she saw it move a bit and start to try and stand up. Twilight finally got to the figure as it sat up, clutching a demonic sword in one hand and an equally disturbing shield in the other. Twilight cautiously approached Rathion and looked at him, now noticing he had a scaled tail and his helmet looked like he had a snout to it. Twilight came to the conclusion that he wasn't a primate and was most likely a dragon, but from what she knew, dragons weren't this advanced or even this creepy.
Rathion finally had the strength to rise to his feet after drinking his most powerful potion, healing all his wounds and restoring all his lost energy and magic. Twilight gasped at Rathion's true height and form; he was six feet tall and looked very muscular and tough, his grey scales on his tail were covered in dust and dirt, but nothing else could be made out because of the armor.
"Hello?" Twilight called out, surprising Rathion, causing him to step back and ready himself for battle. As he did this, Rainbow Dash flew forward and rammed into Rathion, punching him so hard he was sent flying back twenty or so feet.
Twilight gasped from seeing her friend do this, "RAINBOW ARE YOU INSANE?!" Twilight yelled, panicking as she felt a huge magical disturbance come from Rathion.
"You hostile fiend! You should have common sense not to attack a Dovahkiin. Especially if that Dovahkiin has killed hundreds, if not thousands of dragons, undead, and those who wish to do my people and I harm!" Rathion growled as he took a deep breath then shouted several words in Draconic, summoning a giant thunderstorm. He then shouted again, breathing fire and lighting Rainbow Dash up like a candle. Rainbow Dash screamed loudly as her fur was burnt off. She ran over to the lake and doused the flames around her. Then, the others ran forward and attacked Rathion, Twilight watching in horror and awe as the being before her displayed his magical talent and spells before her very eyes.
Applejack threw her rope and attempted to tie Rathion up. Rathion caught the rope and pulled it towards him with enough force to move a boulder. Applejack flew towards Rathion and, when she got close enough, was punched in the stomach and sent flying into the trunk of a tree. This knocked her out cold, making the others more pissed off than they already were.
Twilight snapped out of her daze and froze her friends and shouted at them with her newly acquired Royal Canterlot Voice, "CHILL THE HELL OUT YOU GUYS!" Twilight screamed, making her voice echo through the valley. Everyone looked at her, including Rathion.
"Are you all idiots?! Do you not clearly see that this guy could tear you all to shreds in an instant if he wanted to?! He is just defending himself because Rainbow Dash decided to be a complete and utter shit for brains and attack him when he had no intention of harming us!" Twilight roared, causing Rainbow Dash and the others to flinch.
Rathion's eyes widened as he heard Twilight's voice, feeling power in it. "She has the voice of a Dovah. Could it be possible she could be a Dovahkiin too?" Rathion said, audibly pondering to himself.
Twilight calmed down and heard Rathion speaking and walked to him, half mad and half curious. "You, what's you're name?" Twilight asked.
"My name is Rathion. I'm an Argonian male and I am the last Dragonborn in Skyrim and all Tamriel. I am also the Thane in every hold in Skyrim which basically makes me royalty. On top of that, I'm also the Harbinger of the Companions, The Archmage of the most powerful magic college in the world, and I'm the leader of the infamous Dark brotherhood and thieves guild. I claim the title of personal champion of every Daedric Prince and have saved the entire world four times in a row. I also stopped the revolution in my country by beheading General Tullius," Rathion responded. "Now tell me your name and race," Rathion said in a somewhat commanding and asking tone at the same time.
"My name is Twilight Sparkle. I am one of the four Princesses that run our country Equestria. I was born a Unicorn female but recently I have ascended to an Alicorn and have been granted immortality," Twilight responded as she heard Rathion chuckle. "Does this amuse you Rathion?" she asked.
"Your name is strange, you are a talking horse, you can cast magic and have wings, you claim to be of undeath, you are colored brightly and seem so innocent, and the cherry on top of this all is that you're a Princess!" Rathion said as he laughed a bit, "So yes, I am very amused your Highness. All of these things you are and can do are just blasphemy and a little girl's dream in my world and any Nord would laugh their drunken asses off at this," Rathion said as he continued laughing. "Please forgive me, but this is all so new to me and hard to take seriously. I'm quite sorry if I've offended you, but this is a lot to take in," Rathion said as he finished laughing.
"Well there is no offence taken Rathion. I can tell you are from a much more harsh world filled with peril," Twilight said as she looked at his armor.
"You have no idea your Highness," Rathion responded as his potions began to wear off, making him gasp and fall to the ground.
Twilight rushed over to see if Rathion was okay. Twilight checked his vitals and noticed that they were dropping fast. She gasped and used her magic to quickly heal his wounds and mend his bones the best she could. As she finished healing Rathion, she sighed and rested for a moment before magicking Rathion up and carrying him to her palace.
"Twilight! Where are you going? You can't just leave with that jerk!" Rainbow Dash said as she walked up to her friend.
"Rainbow, here is what you fail to understand... You are the jerk! You attacked him and he just defended himself. Your irrational and abysmal decision making has caused the man a great deal of suffering and it's all your fault. He is now on the verge of death and if you hadn't caused all of this we could be on a lot better terms with Rathion," Twilight said spitefully as she kept walking, leaving a hurt, guilt ridden, and dumbfounded Rainbow Dash behind her as she carried Rathion to her castle.
Twilight entered her home and closed the large double doors behind her. Twilight trotted into the living room and set Rathion on the couch, "Rathion, I am truly sorry about this. My friends are just... dull witted at times," Twilight said to Rathion as he slept.
Twilight sat on the sofa next to the one Rathion was on and rubbed her head while trying to think this mess through. As she thought, one thing Rathion said had bugged her more than everything. "I have the voice of a Dovah, could it be possible she could be a Dovahkiin too? What does that mean?" Twilight asked herself as she looked out the window and slowly drifted to sleep...
FIRST!!!
Also, why Skyrim? Why does nobody ever write a story about the OTHER Elder Scrolls games? We are all aware that there are other games that were better than this one, right? Well, at least as far as alchemy, magic, marksman, story line, and equipment slots were concerned. Oh wait, that's practically the best parts of the game. -.-
Now that I'm done venting, the story was somewhat bland (to me, not everyone's opinions are the same, don't take it too bad) and the fact that you played an Argonian is just not cool. Everyone knows you can't best an Orc (archer). XD
6189784 I mostly write things on dark souls or other things I think of this is my first Skyrim fic ever. So I apologize if I get the lore screwed up a bit but I'm relatively new to the game so bare with me here. Also I don't see many Skyrim fics myself so I'm sorry if this displeased you. Also Skyrim is the only elder scrolls game I've ever played
6189792 Ah, well, in that case I jumped the gun.
Skyrim was meant to cater to a new generation of Battlefield and COD players that never played an RPG before. I apologize for that, most people have already played one of the other Elder Scrolls games before.
Speaking of which, I would recommend Oblivion, the fourth one. It has a much more centralized story line and plot, and a FAR more climactic ending than either of the main quests in Skyrim.
6189807 Yeah I'll see into it but I like Skyrim because it has good graphics and there is just so much you can do!
6189811 Like I said, the previous games actually have MORE to do. The game was, frankly speaking, "dumbed down" for a newer crowd that never really played a classic RPG before.
There is MUCH MORE to do in Oblivion, and a CRAP TON more to do in Morrowind. Plus, just in case I haven't tickled your fancy yet, you can make your own spells in Oblivion. That is all.
6189818 Damn you can?! Fuck this I'm gonna check that out!
6189826 Like I said, that's not all. That's just a gateway drug, so to speak. There is EVEN MORE!!!
You can also ride unicorns, join an evil cult, and own a castle as your home, if you purchase the GOTY edition. Again, that's just the tip of the iceberg.
6189840 Damn you make it sound like they're still updating the damn game
Check mine https://www.fimfiction.net/story/254038/the-dragon-kings-rebirth
I'll check yours?
6189852 Sure I'll check yours out
Hey, you can use this website to translate English to Dovah, in case you want that dragon to say something in his own Tongue, or if you want to create your own Shout. Just thought it might be useful.

Also, you can look around this website to get your information regarding the lore of the Elder Scrolls.

And just because you said you aided the Stormcloak rebels, you might want to know that Ulfric is a sleeper agent of the Thalmor. He is working for them in fact, even if he doesn't know it hemself (yet).
If you don't believe me, there is a Thalmor dossier on Ulfric Stormcloak in a chest in Elenwyn's Solar during the 'Diplomatic Immunity' quest, detailing that the Thalmor want the Stormcloaks to drive out the Empire. If you want to be a thorn in the side of the Thalmor, it would be better to join the Legion. Just though it was an important bit of lore. You can ignore me if you like.
Anyway, an interesting story, a few grammatical errors, but otherwise fun to read. Keep it up.
6189939 do you like it so far? I put a lot of work into the first chapter and my editor helped me improve it. In just hope my hard work isnt in vain ya know? I want this story to be successful and liked but I can't control that. But anyways thanks for the advice and links
6189969
Just trying to be helpful.
And yes, I did enjoy it so far. Not many stories catch my interest these days, but you seemed to have pulled it off.
I wish you good luck, and don't be affraid of asking me or anyone else in Skyrim Equestria for advice.
6189996 Alright I'll have another chapter for you all most likely tomorrow my editor works fast
6189846 Yes, I know, but it's just because you haven't played it yet, that's why.
There's too much content to mention in a comment post, so I'll just let you figure out the rest on your own. You can get the game on Steam for really cheap nowadays, seeing as how the game is from 2006.
Hey, I just noticed that you didn't mention the Dawnguard or the Volkihar Vampires in your title-description. Haven't you played the DLC yet, or are you not in possession of the Legendary edition?
6192680 I've played the dlc the things you mentioned don't really show up in the story
6192680 also I would put it in there but those things are so minor in this story. But yes they are mentioned in the second chapter and a little bit more later on.
6193840
K. Just thought I'd check.
Hmmm, I got to be honest I have read a lot of these and this one doesn't seem to stand out. I like the idea of having an Argonian, would fit in better than a human. The character also seems a bit over powered and perfect, kinda Gary Stu.
My biggest gripe is the pacing of it, by this I mean it moves fast, like really fast. While that's not a bad thing, I enjoy stories that paint the scene for me on all levels. A story should tell me where I am, time of day, weather, so on. I should be introduced to characters and be able to relate to them.
You have great ideas! Develope them, draw things out a little, have characters reflect on the things, use description and comparison. I know we are in a land of talking magical ponies but keep it grounded, unless you are going full cartoony in which case keep it tamer in its gore.
I say this not to discourage, please, keep going.
6194844 its fast paced at first because I have to get the ponies into the fic so it could be published but its going to slow down now. Also my character is based on the one I have irl for skyrim. Plus the dragonborn is kinda op to begin with. I cut back on the shouts like bend will and slow time because in my opinion those are op. But I'm doing my best to cut back on the op stuff and right now this is as weak as he gets unless he has magic restraints put on him also have you played skyrim? Because to normal skyrim played this guy is average in power. The reason the ponies see him as powerful is because of his th'um if he didn't have that he'd be weak as shit trust me. He bearily has magicka and is slow because of his heavy armor and all the crap he carries around. The only thing that keeps my character alive in skyrim is how much resistance, strength and HP he has. When he hit AJ and sent her flying that was basically him using a lot of his strength and power.
But right now he's still developing in some ways so you'll see improvements soon!
6202958 I see.
Yeah I've played Skyrim, like it.
Well let's see where this goes
6203733 well tomorrow I'll upload the next chapter and post it. So from there you'll see more of my views in skyrim. And a lot of them will be things people might say to you out of game play like they would irl
