Chapter 1: Goodbye Equestria, Hello Tamriel
“Twilight Sparkle, you stand here today accused of murder and have been found guilty. I am so very disappointed in you.”
Twilight was in tears at this point, she knows she is innocent but nopony will believe her. The only one that does believe her is Spike. Celestia’s horn glows a brilliant gold and in a flash of light, both Twilight and Spike are teleported to a strange new world…
[On the road to Winterhold]
Talos take me! The thrice-damned wolfs are attacking me again. Just as I was about to defend myself a bright light flashed that scared the wolfs away and when it was gone I beheld a strange sight, A small, purple horse and a small, purple and green dragon are in front of me in my shock I am frozen to the spot. After a few seconds and nothing happening I begin to notice that the purple horse is crying and by the sounds its making I can tell that it is female and it also appeared to have a horn on its head and to my surprise, the dragon says,
“It’s OK Twilight, we will manage to survive without them. If they refused to believe you when you said you were innocent or at least give you the benefit of the doubt then they weren’t truly your friends.”
As I heard this I reflect upon my arrival here in Skyrim and realize that at least she wasn’t going to be executed. So I decide to voice my thoughts,
“Um, excuse miss but not trying to sound rude or inconsiderate or anything but, He is right if they refused to stand by you when you needed them the most then they are not worthy of your friendship. Besides, your arrival here is better than mine because I was supposed to be executed just because I was found with some criminals. Hell, the only reason I’m alive is because a dragon attacked the town I was in.”
After hearing my voice they both turn around in shock and just like a switch had been thrown this ‘Twilight’ starts jumping up and down in excitement and starts asking questions like what am I, who am I, as well as other questions that I couldn’t quite catch. At that point I turn to the small dragon and ask,
“Is this normal for her to be this excited to meet a new person?”
The dragon replies,
“Only if they are different species then pony.”
After Twilight realizes what she is doing she blushes and says sorry before clearing her throat and saying,
“Greetings. My name is Twilight Sparkle and the dragon is my number one assistant, or at least he was. Now he is just my adopted son.”
I could see how towards the end there she was starting to look sad and I don’t know what possessed me to do it but before I could stop myself, I was hugging her and telling her everything was going to be OK. Before I could pull away I found myself wrapped up in two soft furry hooves and her head on my chest as she was silently crying. After some time spent like this, the dragon came up to us and joined the hug. When we separated he introduced himself as Spike and I introduced myself,
“Well it’s nice to meet you Twilight Sparkle and Spike. My name is Ma’Dat. As to what I am, I am a Kahjiit and I hail from the province Elsweyr. Now from where do you two hail from?”
Twilight answers with,
“We came from a country called Equestria on the planet Equis. I was banished because I was wrongly accused of murder and they never gave me the chance to prove my innocence I was supposed to go alone but Spike here stayed by my side no matter what. I would actually say he is more loyal then Rainbow Dash who was supposed to be the element of loyalty. Guess the elements made a mistake when they chose us.”
Confused I looked at her and asked,
“What do mean by elements?”
She looks over at me and says,
"The elements of harmony are six powerful gems that were wielded by me and five other mares whom I thought were my friends. The elements are Laughter, Honesty, Kindness, Loyalty, Generosity, and finally the one that completes the set, Magic. I was the element of magic, I say ‘was’ because I doubt the element will work for me.”
After some time thinking about this, I put my hand on her head and ruffled her mane a bit and said,
“Well I was going to go to Winterhold to see if there are any jobs available, but I suppose we can head back to the house I built near Falkreath to get you two settled in.”
Twilight gives me a grateful smile and I begin to feel my heart pound a little faster. ‘What is this feeling I have?’ I think. ‘Oh well, I’m sure it’s nothing.’ I later found out how wrong I was.
We were a week from Lakeview Manor when we were suddenly attack by 3 bandits. Without even thinking I screamed,
“YOL…TOOR SHUL!”
after the fire dissipated I went for the kill by rushing forward and decapitating the first band, using flames to finish the second and gripping the third one by the shirt and screaming,
“FUS…ROH DAH!”
which knocked his head off in a spray of blood. After that I looted all 3 of them and found nothing of use to me. It wasn’t until I heard a frightened whimper from behind me that I remembered that I had company. So I turned around and saw both Twilight and Spike looking at me with fear in their eyes and it was then that I remembered that on the way she told me that Equestria was a relatively peaceful land and to her I had probably overreacted. I slowly walked over and kneeled down in front of her. When she turned her head away I gently placed my hand on her cheek and said,
“I’m sorry you had to see that. But here, what I just did is a perfectly legal way to deal with bandits. Here, harmony and friendship is hard to come by. You could have just as easily landed in front of someone who would not have hesitated to kill and skin the both of you. You should be thankful that you landed in front of me instead of them. Anyway we have a week left to travel, when we reach Lakeview Manor you and Spike can have one of room on either the top or bottom floor.”
During my explanation she and Spike had calmed down enough for her to ask me,
“How where able to do that? And what did the words you used mean?”
I looked at her and said,
“I am known as a Dragon Born or ‘Dovahkin’. It means that I have the soul of a dragon and dragon blood flows through my veins. As for what the words I used mean, the first three mean ‘Fire’, ‘Inferno’, ‘Sun’ in that order and the second three mean ‘Force’, ‘Balance’, ‘Push’ in that order. And in case you are wonder what language I was speaking in, it was the language of dragons.”
After this we walked in silence until arriving at the Manor. After I unlock the door and opened it I said,
“Welcome Twilight Sparkle and Spike, to your new home for the foreseeable future. Go ahead and make yourselves comfortable. Dinner will be ready shortly.”
