The House of the Dragonborn

by Edyy


Why You Shouldn't Use Random Spells

I had a good life I defeated Alduin and saved the world, I helped the Stormcloaks battle the Imperials and freed Skyrim, and I had two wonderful children. Their names where Raof, and Marned. Even though they often got into fight they were still fun to be with. One day when I was reading a book my steward walked up to me with a note and a tome.

“This is a note for you Towvo and also a tome that was just out on the door step”. He handed it to me and I read the note.

It said “Hello Dragonborn you may want to know who I am but that is not important I have heard all about you and wanted to send you a spell book as a gift hope you have a good life”. I was amused this was the first time someone has sent me a gift. Then my two little bundles of joy came in.

“Pa what do have there”? Marned was curious of everything she saw and Raof he like rushing into fight and well this got him a few scars.

“Well this is a letter from someone but I don’t know who sent it. It also came with a spell book that I was going to try out”. This got them in to a joy fest. They always got into one them every time I was going to perform a new spell.


“PA PA please can we watch you please please”. Marned was jumping with joy.

“Yeah please”. Raof was on his knees praying to let me show them.

“Ok ok I’ll show you”. I got up and opened the spell book and started to read it. This was a very unique book I have never seen one like it. When I had the spell memorized I started to cast is. It was a simple ball but it started to grow at alarming rates.

“Uhhh Pa what’s going on”? Raof started to back up along with Marned.


“Jove get the kids to the basement NOW”. He picked them up and rushed to the basement along with our bard Nined. The ball was growing and growing it started to consume my arms. I felt a burning pain all over as the ball consumed me. I blacked out from the pain.


When I woke up I was on the floor in the main hall. I tried to get up and my arms and legs felt like they were getting eaten by a dragon and I know how that feels. When I looked around everything seem normal. Then the basement hatch opened and out pop my kids, Jove, and Nined. Roaf and Marned ran up to me and started to hug me with all their might.


When they let go they started to their questions. “Pa do….do you know what happened”. Roaf was shaking with fright and you couldn’t blame him.

“I don’t know but it seemed like a teleport spell”.

“But I thought those where gone from Tamriel”. Jove before becoming my steward studied all known spell. He learned that teleport spells where gone because of a single man setting fire to a large where house of them.

“Well that was one. I need you to stay here and guard the house I’m going to find out where we are”. I walked to my armory and picked up my dragon bone armor and sword. Once I got it on I headed to the door and got ready to face what was on the other side. When I opened the door I was greeted with the sight of a village.


I thought that we where teleported to one of the nearby villages but what caught my eyes was small colored horses. Soon more started to show up and stare at mw with looks of fear. When I took my first step they all ran and screamed. Soon the streets where bare. In my thought I said” What is going on was that book covered in dried skooma.


Taking a look around these houses looked like homes in Skyrim. As I neared the town center I felt a sudden push. As I regained my footing I saw a blue horse with a rainbow mane land in front of me. It had a look of hatred on its face. To my amazement it spoke.


“If you know what’s good for you freak you should go back to where you came”. I was not amused by its attitude. When it came at me again I kicked my leg out and it slammed its face right into my boot and I heard its nose break. It fell to the ground holding its nose. Then five other horses came into view.


They ran up to the blue one and started to talk. “Rainbow what happened”.
Then the blue horse pointed its hoof at me. Not wanting to be labeled an assaulter I calmly said “Don’t look at me it attacked me first”. I put on a small grin as the blue horse started to sputter.


“Rainbow is this true” the purple one said. The blue one put on a sour face.


“Yeah but it was dangerous”.


“Well I am only dangerous if you mess with me or my family”.


Then the purple one walked over to me and said “Well sorry for Rainbow she can get judgmental on things she never saw before”. She looked just like Marned she looked at me with curiosity.


“It's ok just make sure this doesn’t happen again”. I saw the blue one still held its nose so I walked over to it and prepared a healing spell. I started to heal its nose and heard it crack back into place. Once I turned around they looked at me in shock.


“What what are you looking at”?


“Well…uhh I have never seen anypony use magic without a horn”.


“Well I have never seen anybody use magic without hands”. I chuckled at her dismay this world was so like mine but very different.


“Well I would like to ask some questions about you and your life”.


“Well you can come back to my house and ask them”. I prepared Whirlwind Sprint and shouted “WULD NA KEST”. I was back at the house in seconds and saw those ponies coming and they were almost here. I thought to myself “Man those ponies can run”.
