> The Pony Scrolls, Skyrein > by SW1TCHBL4D3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Escape from Hoofgen > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I sat as the Imperial Stallions dragged the wagon along. I looked across from me at the mint-green unicorn. What was her name? Lyra. Lyra kept on biting at the chains on her hooves, trying to tear them off. "Give it up Lyra, these binds wont break." A pony next to me said. Who was that? Ditzy Doo. The ropes tying my wings together rubbed against my skin uncomfortably. Honestly I'd be more scared, but throughout my life, I've been dragged from Trotblivion and back. I used to be shy and timid, but that part of me was shattered, violently. My home had been invaded by bandits. I ran after my family was gutted. Right into an imperial ambush, they thought I was a Stormcolt! How dumb. I used to be kind as well but, seeing your family gutted violently changes you a tiny bit, don't you agree? "Please! You have the wrong pony! I'm not a Stormcolt! LET ME GO!" Ditzy shrieked in panic. "SHUT UP!" One of the stallions snapped. Thunderlane. Eventually, the wagon came to a stop. The Imperial ponies pushed us off the carriage and onto the ground. A gray pony with a clipboard stepped forward. Lucky I put a hoof to my head. As long as I could remember whenever I saw somepony or Something I didn't know, it's name would pop into my head. And it hurt. "Bon Voyage?" Lucky called to a cream colored pegasus with a purple and pink mane. She walked with her had down over to the chopping block, a single tear slid down her face when the cloaked unicorn brought the iron axe down on her neck, sending her head rolling into a basket. These are sick, sick ponies. "Ditz-" Lucky began. "YOU'LL NEVER GET ME ALIVE!" The crazed gray pegasus screamed before stumbling away, only to take an arrow to the skull. "Nopony else run, alright!?" Another pony snapped. Noteworthy "And... Who in the world are you?" Lucky asked. It took me a moment to process who he was asking. It was me. "I'm Flutttershy..." I replied sadly. It was then I realized I wasn't scared that I was going to die, I was sad. The chain restricting my hooves jingled as I dragged them over to the chopping block. A mare kicked me over so I fell into place. Octavia A loud noise rang through the air, causing the Imperials to glance upwards. "What was that?" "Nothing, keep going." Just as the cloaked unicorn was about to behead me. The last thing I expected happened. A dark purple Dragon landed on the tower behind the unicorn and began to destroy the city with it's fire-breath. As the Hoofgen guards scrambled around I felt my hooves get cut free. "Come on! This is our chance to escape!" I heard Lyra's voice say into my ear. I stumbled to the hooves I hadn't been able to use properly for a few hours. After I got my footing on the shaking ground I took off with the green unicorn. We sprinted towards a door. Lyra grabbed two lockpicks off the ground and began to fumble with the lock with them. Turning the pick around, then trying the lock, until it snapped. Lyra growled in frustration. "You try Fluttershy." She said handing me the last lockpick. I poked it into the lock and began to turn it around. Once I heard a click, then the door opened. Me and Lyra ran inside. An imperial guard pegasus stallion ran over to us with a hammer but my unicorn accomplice stomped his face in. She handed me a long hammer. "Dagger for me, Warhammer for you." Lyra said quickly and ran off as the dragon's destruction caused the ground to shake. Me and lyra ran into a storage room. "Grab any supplies you need and let's get out of here!" She told me quickly. I ran over a barrel and opened it. Inside was several potions with red bottles. Healing potion I grabbed a saddlebag off the ground and put all of the bottles in my bag. I picked my warhammer back up and held it firmly in my jaws before following Lyra out of the room. Lyra had found only a simple iron mace, but everything counts right? We both ran through hallways towards the exit. Right at the door was two guards. I used the extra speed from my wings to jump over one of the guards and I broke in the back of his skull with my hammer. Lyra was still beside me, she had used the dagger to slit the throat of the other guard. I used my hoof to push the heavy door open. We had lived. We survived the Hoofgen attack. I sighed in relief as we trotted down the path. Happy that the threat of both the guards and the dragon was behind us. Literally. A/N Well, if you don't know what game this is based off of, it's Skyrim, my new obsession. Also to clear things up, in this world, Unicorns can only levitate stuff with their horns, no other magic and Pegasi can only use their wings to jump higher and run faster, not to fly. And the chains on their hooves chained their hooves together but left some distance so they can walk. And yes, the main character is a broken Fluttershy, why is she broken? I couldn't work with the timid, shy, and kind pegasus for the role she has to play. Fun Fact: The original main charrie was Rainbow, but I had saw the idea of Dovahshy and changed it, but trust me, Rainbow's still in this. Another fun fact: Lyra was originally Applejack sowwy. Yet ANOTHER fun fact: The Jarl of Whiterun was going to be Shining Armor but I changed my mind Question of the day: Who is Lydia going to be? The prize is your O.C. in one of the chapters. PS: Fanart will be rewarded. *evilgrin* > Trip to Canterwood > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well I just want to make a few things clear here Skyrim hardly has a plot, nor do any of the characters have any personality really. So, this story will follow the main plot of Skrim, but be in a more story like fashion. I need a few characters, I will list at the end of this chapter. Lyra won't be a major character after this chapter. I'm sorry if this is moving a little fast, I'm trying to catch up the stories with what I'm doing in Skyrim right now. Lastly, this story is based of mine and my brothers misadventures in Skyrim. Lyra and me were trotting down the path quickly. Yes, we were out of Hoofgen but we'd have to get further away to be safe. "So..." I began. Lyra looked at me. "Where do we go from here?" Lyra looked back at the path. "Follow the path, it should take us to Canterwood, but if you don't want to stay, keep following the path through the town and keep on it-or you'll find a giants camp, and trust me, one hit will send you into orbit-" Lyra shuddered at the thought. "Keep on that path and you'll get to Whitetrot." Lyra continued. "Here take a map. Doesn't weigh crap but is quite useful." she said levitating a roll of paper to me. "Wait." I said. I looked down at my map. "I'll be on my way to Whitetrot, may stay there a bit then I'll catch a wagon over to Windhoof." I rolled up the yellowing paper and put it in my bag. "Windhoof? Why?" Lyra asked, cocking a brow. I shrugged. "Why not?It seems cool." "Well I'm going to stay in Canterwood. Seems like a nice place." Lyra added. They continued to trot down the trail. Eventually, the stone path turned to dirt, and a town crawled into view. Canterwood SHUT UP! "Hey can you do me a favor? Can you warn the Jarl of Whitetrot about the dragon for me?" Lyra asked. I shrugged. "Sure." A few minutes later, we entered the town. "Goodbye Fluttershy, I wouldn't have made it out without you." Lyra held out a hoof. I gladly shook it. "So this is goodbye?" Lyra nodded. "I hope I see you around." "You too." That was our last words before we parted ways. Lyra trotted into a house while I trotted out of the town. As I was galloping down the path to Whitetrot, I heard a rustling in the bushes behind me. I immediately stopped, my blood running cold. I looked around with wide eyes for the source of the noise. My heart stopped when I heard the voice. "You'll make a fine trophy Foal." I whipped my head around to see a stallion with a lot of armor glaring daggers at me. I gulped as more joined him. All of them glaring at me. But just then I felt the strangest feeling ever. Confidence. I grinned. "Which one of you sorry fools wants to die first?" I challenged. Some of the bandits began to look slightly nervous. I opened my mouth to spit another threat but I was cut off by a roar in the distance. "Have fun with mister Dragon for me!" I said in a sing-songy voice before dashing off at speeds lightning bolts would be jealous about. A bandit ran beside me. He glared at me again and opened his mouth to speak but I cut him off by swinging my hammer over his head sending him off the cliff. Eventually, In the distance I could see a wall WHITETROT! I picked up the pace. Dodging through trees and jumping holes in the ground until I came up to the gate. I was just about to open the gate and go in when a guard blocked my path. "HALT! What is your business in Whitetrot?!" I'M SO SORRY ABOUT THE SHORTNESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I AM SO SORRY SORRY SORRY! But this is buildup for the next chapter! I promise the next chapter is when I go to Bleak Falls Barrow. And we meet Lydia who is RD (Congrats to Rendan for getting it right first and thanks to all the guessed!) Now, I need one of your dragon OCs. One for Para whatever (Dragon that helps you fight Alduin) and Odaviing. (Don't worry, Flutters isn't fighting Alduin yet, I only just got the Jurgen Jurgen Horn Thingy!)
