This is well written, and pretty creative that you adapted the skyrim lore into MLP.
I can't help but think that if Alduin was sent to Equestria in any form he would just annihilate everything with ease.
I'm anxious to see whether or not when he does become full once he more just looks at Celly and says "This is it? Really? I'm a dragon, ho."

So, Spike is Alduin. WHAT A TWEEST! Just make sure you keep a steady head on this project. Looking great so far!

Wow, there's a mass of skyrim stories being written now but this is obviously on a different level than them.:moustache:BAWWS

Incredible. I cannot wait to see where this will go! Oh Spike, you crazy dragon you.

I loved it.

Catchy. I'll be watching with all my eyes.

You could use your fancy fire and ice....sure, sure...or...you could use...

THE WAABAPPLEJACK!

Huh? Didn't expect that did you!?

:derpytongue2:

Anyway, you've got me hooked! Keep up the good work!

This is so awesome. Can't wait for the next epic installment!

So Spike is Alduin reincarnated. Interesting:ajbemused:

A Dragon in Twilight, is that a StreakTheFox reference? Also great work!

Yea, it is a reference/shout-out. I like putting cameo mentions of other stories in every now and then, so having it be one of the books that Celestia was digging through was too good to pass up.

Awesome sauce. I CANNNOT WAIT FOR SPIKE/Alduin TO HATCH SQUEEEEEE

Nox

love the game, love the show, love this fic...

Please update soon!

a most excellent chapter, keep up the good work

Glad to see your continuing this. The focus on the Elements and Nightmare Moon's return was an unexpected but not unwanted shift. For something staring him this didn't mention Alduin a lot, but I see how it was needed in this case.

I take it the next chapter will be Spike's hatching and the day of the Sonic Rainboom. If not, then it honestly should be, dragging it out any longer would just get annoying at that point. We also need to know just what made the egg part of the unicorn exam.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, huh? Sorry to hear about that...hope your better now and can continue making these great chapters!

See now that I finally have Skyrim I can appreciate this work in all it's glorious glory.

DAM RIGHT!

This chapter surpassed all expectation. I hope this story gets displayed at the top.

perhaps a program like dragonfly can help you worry less about how much carpal tunnel syndrome is holding you back

Pretty damn creative work there. It's good to see him have a really believable reason to be in Equestria instead of the usual "Oh no, my portal broke!" that I see so often in crossovers.
Tracking this bitch like the Fist of the North Star.

An excellent story, sir. This story has the distinct feel of having an author who said "This dungeon can wait, I just found a god damned book." in every Elder Scrolls game. Keep up the good work.

A most Excellent read, I do hope to see more in the future.

Wonderful work, as always. I can not wait to read more. Though I do have a question, will any daedra princes appear in this tale?

341377

Oh yes, there will be a couple more appearances. You'll have to wait and see just what type of role they'll play

341397
Then once again I must state my eagerness at the next chapter of this tale, and with this new point of information, a hope that the Prince Order might make an appearance .Yet, alas, only time will tell.

YAY UPDATE SO HAPPY!

An update...
... i love you :heart:

Alduin is back baby!

damn this was an awesome chapter

i cant wait for the next update

very good. I have trouble picturing celestia going nuts though.:eeyup:

>when brilliant is simply not enough to express my satisfaction regarding this chapter and story. I feel bad for writing such a short review, but I don't know what to say other then I can't really express how much I enjoyed this.

Also, i can see Shegorath deciding to have some fun in this :pinkiecrazy:

An exceptional chapter. Your talent as a writer is without compare.

"Nothing," the black unicorn said with a sigh. She had been through just about every inch of this rock pile, and the only thing she had discovered were six worthless stone orbs. Unless the cult planned to ambush Celestia by dropping them on her head, she didn't see how they would be of any use.

*Ahem* Unless I'm mistaken, there should only be five orbs in the room. "When the five are present, a magical spark will cause the sixth to appear." I read the reference guide, I know how many orbs there were.

Also, I watched the first two episodes a couple hundred times, so...

344549

*nods* Very true, but a few paragraphs later the sixth one meets with an unfortunate accident, resulting in there only being five left. Still perfectly canonical when Nightmare Moon shows up.

Personally, it never made much sense to me that "The sixth is a complete mystery," as they said in the show. There was never much reason given for the element of magic to be absent, other than for building suspense. Assuming Celestia had the full set of elements when she banished Luna, something must have happened to it between then and the first episodes. It busting into pieces was my take on what that 'something' might have been.

345554

I don't argue that it wasn't there canonically, I argue that canon directly says that it wouldn't be there. The only way to disprove this would be to say that the reference guide was written after these events, but that would contradict the fact that the book says exactly where they are and what they look like, as, by this time, if the cult hadn't had access to the most general of information, able to be found in the library of a small town, then the only being that would know where they were would be Princess Celestia.

Now, you could argue that Princess Celestia wrote the book, planted it in the library shortly before Twilight arrived, preferably with the assistance of a councilor, so as not to draw attention, and placed Twilight in that library for the sole purpose of having her and the other five find it, seemingly by pure luck, but that would make it seem way too contrived, despite the fact that it makes this particular paragraph a possibility. It would also mean that Princess Celestia went back to the castle once more, and found that the sixth had shattered, but then, why would she write that it was a complete mystery, and what happened to the shards of the element of magic? If you watch that particular episode again, when the sixth element finally appears, it is fully intact as it floats down from the ceiling.

Wow. I never thought, when I was planning out my career, that I would spend enough time watching a show for little girls, then arguing about it over the internet. Life's funny sometimes...

In response to your first point, I skimmed the first two episodes again, but I don't recall the reference guide ever mentioning exactly what the elements looked like. Now, the book Twilight's reading in the opening scene of Episode 1 shows them simply as gems, which is what I'm imagining was their generally known state/appearance. Considering that (at least in my story) the reason they look like stone orbs is because of their powers being recently drained off, nobody would recognize what they truly were, hence why the cult passed them by.

As far as Celestia further manipulating the situation by writing/editing/revising the book and planting it for Twilight's further use, would it really be that hard to swallow? Based on Celestia's conversation with Twilight after Nightmare Moon is defeated, I got the sense that she was fully aware of the situation and was working behind the scenes. I'd guess that was why Twilight was sent to oversee the preparations, instead of simply being asked to attend. That would also apply to why the other five element bearers were in key positions for the celebration. Celestia was covering all the bases by ensuring they would each meet Twilight. In that regard, if Celestia had been subtly manipulating everything to such an end, wouldn't it also make sense for her to leave directions for Twilight on how to find and activate them?

With regards to your other points, such as Celestia returning to the castle, keeping the sixth element a secret, and its eventual return, I've already kicked around some tentative ideas for those in future chapters. Will do my best to address them in a canonically accurate and satisfying manner.

Also: Thanks much for bringing up these points. Despite the existing and upcoming divergences that result from the Skyrim crossover, I've tried keeping the story as accurate to the MLP universe as I can. It's good to have any screw-ups pointed out so I can either correct or retcon them.

PS:
"Wow. I never thought, when I was planning out my career, that I would spend enough time watching a show for little girls, then arguing about it over the internet. Life's funny sometimes... "

It's actually much worse than that. We're not actually arguing about the show itself, but rather the veracity of my fictional reinterpretation of fictional events in its already fictional world.

348522 You're correct as to the book not saying what they look like, but that pulls up another flaw: How did the Mane Six know what they were on sight? They simply appear at the castle gates, and, "We've found them!" By this logic, we can only assume that they knew what they were looking for, instead of searching for a golden plate inset with six multi-colored gems, but five spheres with certain symbols on them.

I haven't even begun to rant about how their elemental symbols match their cutie marks, and how that would have to be set up!

But before I go into that, another point to make. First, I concede that it would entirely be possible that Celestia was working behind the scenes the entire time, but I would think that she would do so in a way that was far less blatantly obvious. That aside, she must have known exactly who the element bearers would be ahead of time, convince them all to be in Ponyville at the time (luckily, they all lived there by choice anyway, save for twilight), put them in charge of certain events that Twilight would need to meet them somewhere along the line (which brings up another point: how did she plan to involve Pinkie?), and then finally hope that they all decided to follow Twilight into the library, and by extension, the Everfree, and finally, put them in situations that would force their elements to shine through so that Twilight could read them (and Nightmare Moon took care of that, so no worries there). Quite a lot of work, and most of those rest on a gamble. The chances of the plan succeeding is slim to none. Therefore, I do find it hard to swallow, and an incredibly contrived plan. One slip-up, and the entire thing goes haywire.

Now, I'm not saying that it's not possible, but it's highly improbable. It would likely cause the same amount of stress and fatigue as the egg did, if not more, albeit for different reasons. You could move down this route, but it would be treading on thin ice. What I'm saying is, be careful, and watch where you step. It's incredibly easy at this point to entrap yourself in a hole, and not be able to climb your way back out.

Lastly, before I go, I bring up these points for a reason, and I'm glad you see it better than the writers I actually edit for. It's a good idea to keep characters consistent, and to not stray too far away from the original ideas. You're doing well so far, but a few hiccups can easily turn into a cough. That being said, keep going, this is a great story.

When i first saw this i wasn't sure what to think, after reading the description the thought this was going be something along the line of spike trying to cope whit strange memory of death and nightmares,
and that didn't realty appeal to me, something whit spike as Alduin reincarnated didn't relay work for me.
But i decided to read and try it anyways sens descriptions isn´t always 100% correct, and buy am i glad i did:pinkiehappy:,
this story is REALLY good, its by far the best sklyrim crossover ill read to this moment

Im not sure where your gonna take the story from thin point, you left us at a relay large cliffhanger so how knows, he (Alduin) may slowly grow up over time and the story having a science of life twist to it, or in the blink of an eye reach adult size by magic mean, he many be good or he may revert back to his old seals and try to bring death and destruction to equestrian and the rest of the world.

I have no idea and regardless how you do choose to proceed i do hope you have Alduin be Alduin and not spike, both by appearance / looks, and personality.
If you make him a murderous monster, or kind and caring or something in between, i don't relay care just have him be him and not spike,
if you do that then in my opinion theirs no way this story can decline in awesomeness:pinkiesmile::pinkiesmile:

Grate story so far thank you dear sir for taking time and effort to write this, and by all means keep the chapters coming:twilightsmile:

Cute. Very cute.

Hope the CTS isn't hurting you too badly. Good luck, and keep on writing~

Axz

I have been waiting for this, for a very long time for this.

Hilarious and wonderful and, as always, certainly worth the wait. Keep up the good work.

You capture Sheogorath's personality perfectly. Great job, can't wait for the next chapter.

“How dare you! You know how hard it is to find one of those? Wood doesn’t just grow on trees! Who do you think you are?”
Sheogorath is best daedra? Sheogorath is best daedra.
