After years of trying, Scootaloo finally discovers her special talent.
It's the worst thing that ever happened to her. She'll have to leave Rainbow Dash and all her friends behind as she's forced to go off and learn about her new talent... and then it gets worse.

The sequel, Choices Legacy, is now available.

As always, I adore getting comments about the story; the more specific and prolific the better -- negative comments included. Your comments help make my future stories better.

Many thanks to my team. I couldn't have done it without them.

Instead, they are some strange type of two-legged creatures with hands. fortunately for her, she is found by four of these creatures that dont seem infected. But can they help her escape this nightmare? For that matter, can any of them escape the hell-hole of a city they find themselves in?

In the depths of Equestria's archives there is a song. A song of a legendary hero, who would keep evil at bay, and rout even the most fiercest foe. This hero was said to have the blood of dragons flowing in his veins and a heart filled with fire, who could command the world with his voice. Not much is known about this song or it's origin, but when a curious purple unicorn discovers it, she decides to put on a performance for her closest friends and her beloved mentor. Little does she know the power and significance of this song. For better or for worse, this is the Ballad of the Dovakhiin.

As a housecarl, Lydia must defend her Thane, the Dragonborn, with her very life. After the Dragonborn defeated Alduin, he became cocky, arrogant, and an overall unpleasant fellow to deal with, especially to Lydia. Though he made her carry all of his items, made her fight all of his battles - for which he took all the credit, and tormented her every day with his words and his fists, Lydia stayed true to her oath. After a battle with a rogue mage, however, Lydia has found herself in a colorful new world where horses can talk. Now, with the help of her new companions, can she find a way back to Skyrim?
