	Pinkie dragged Rathion all over Ponyville. She introduced him to everyone she knew, even though most of them were scared shitless. Rathion sighed and pulled out one of the several copies of the Wolf Queen series he carried on him. He tuned out the annoying pink horse and began to read the long book. As he read, Pinkie stopped what she was doing and went over to see what Rathion was reading. As she peeked over his shoulder, she looked at words she couldn’t read. They were written in the language of the Argonians. 

“What are ya reading?” Pinkie Pie asked as Rathion turned a page in his book.

“The series is called The Wolf Queen and I am reading volume four of eight if I’m correct,” Rathion responded as he closed the book then looked at Pinkie. “Are we going to do anything interesting?” Rathion asked with a dull, unamused look on his face.

“Well, I was going to take you to see an awesome movie and show you around Sugarcube Corner. Does that sound interesting?” Pinkie asked.

“Eh, sure. At least I won’t be sitting on my ass all day,” Rathion responded as he got up and waited for Pinkie to lead him to the thing she called The Movies. Pinkie bounced away as Rathion followed. After a few minutes, they reached a building and went inside. Pinkie talked to the clerk behind the desk and got two tickets to see some action movie. As she walked through the gates to the theater, she chose a seat in the back and sat down. 

Rathion sat down next to her and stared at the screen that was playing moving pictures. Rathion was dumbfounded. Never before had he seen such amazing art that moved on its own! After a few minutes, the room darkened and the movie started. Rathion watched the ponies in the film talk about this one Ring and that it belonged to the evil necromancer Sauron. After a while, Rathion watched the main characters fight a bunch of forest spiders and orc ponies. Throughout the whole movie Rathion was silent as he watched the whole thing, never looking away.

Hours later, Rathion walked out of the theater with Pinkie Pie. He smiled under his helm, “Wow! The movie we saw was amazing! I have never seen moving pictures before! This must be invented in my world!” Rathion exclaimed.

“You’ve never seen a movie before? Wow, that sucks,” Pinkie said as they walked to Sugarcube Corner. The two walked into the shop and sat at a table. “Rathion, you stay here. I’m gonna go get Mrs. and Mr.Cake so I can introduce them to you,” Pinkie said as she ran off into another room. Rathion pulled out his book and began to read again. After a while, he heard a few childlike voices. Rathion decided to listen in on what they were saying since they were the only ones speaking in the cafe.

“Look at yourself you lame blank flanks. How can you even walk in public looking as stupid as you do. At this rate, you three will not only be blank flanks for the rest of your lives, but you’ll also be single!” Diamond Tiara said.

“Yeah! You three lameo blank flanks will stay single forever!” Silverspoon echoed.

As Rathion heard this, he scowled. He remembered back to his childhood when everyone in the village bullied him. His name wasn’t originally Rathion. No, it was Van’ra, which meant screw up in Argonian language. The reason he was named that is because when ever he was told to do something he always screwed up and made a huge mess. For this he was resented by his parents and made fun of by everyone. What made it worse is that he had a similar set of bullies by the name of Geel-Tei Andreecles and Jee-Tulm Tikeerseene. Every day the two Argonian males would harass him nonstop and made Rathion feel miserable. 

Rathion clenched his fists together tightly and stood up, putting his book down. Rathion took his helmet off and placed it on the table before walking over to Diamond Tiara and her ass kissing sidekick.

“You two!” Rathion hissed. Diamond’s ears perked up as she turned around to face Rathion, who was a giant compared to her.

“W-who are you?” Diamond asked, trying to seem tough, but Rathion knew she was terrified of him.

“My name is of no importance, but I’m here to make sure you don’t harass those fillies any more. Because if you do, I’ll humiliate you so badly you’ll never come out of your home ever again,” Rathion said as he narrowed his eyes and pierced their souls with his overwhelming death stare.

“O-okay” Diamond said as she and Silver ran out of Sugarcube Corner at speeds that would make Rainbow Dash jealous.

Rathion sighed and looked at the three fillies. “Are you three okay?” Rathion asked as he crouched down to their height.

“Yeah, thanks to you they won’t bother us for a long time!” Sweetie exclaimed.

“Yeah! The way you told them off was so awesome!” Scootaloo said, smiling as she hovered in the air.

“How did you scare them like that? Your stare made them terrified! You might even be able to defeat Fluttershy’s stare!” Apple Bloom said in amazement.

“Well, thank you. May I ask what your names are?” Rathion asked as he sat down by them and used his magic to teleport his book and helmet onto the table.

“Mah’ name is Apple Bloom, that’s Sweetie Belle, and that’s Scootaloo, and together we are THE CUTIEMARK CRUSADERS YAY!!!” Apple Bloom said as the other two yelled the last part at the top of their lungs.

“By the nine! Talk about ear rape,” Rathion said under his breath as he cleaned out his right ear with his finger. 

After he said this, Pinkie came back with Mr. and Mrs.Cake and walked up to the table he was at. “Oh! Hey you three,” Pinkie said, waving at the CMC. Pinkie turned to Rathion and smiled, “Rathion, these two are Mr. and Mrs.Cake. Mr. and Mrs.Cake, this is Rathion! He is practically royalty from where he’s from! He’s also saved his world a total of three times from a Dragon named Alduin, a Vampire Lord named Lord Harkon, and finally a Nordic Dragonborn named Miraak,” Pinkie said as Rathion looked at her, wondering how the hell she knew who he had defeated to save the world.

“Oh, it’s so nice to meet you Lord Rathion,” Mrs.Cake said, bowing.

“Please Mrs.Cake, there is no need for formalities. I am simply a man who is willing to give his own life to protect the innocent,” Rathion said as he chuckled. 

“Now I must get going. I’m sure Princess Twilight is wondering where I am,” Rathion said as he put his book away, slipped on his helmet, and walked out the door. Rathion strolled up the streets to the crystalline castle. Rathion noticed a golden chariot in the front of the castle along with a bunch of pony guards. Rathion walked forward, not caring if they tried to stop him. 

As Rathion was mere feet away from the door, he had several spears pointed at his neck. “Halt! No one is allowed inside the castle!” the lead guard barked at Rathion.

Rathion rolled his eyes and took a deep breath. “Feim zii gron!” Rathion shouted, using the become ethereal shout. He then walked through the ponies weapons unharmed. The ponies were all dumbfounded as Rathion passed through them and the castle walls like a ghost. Rathion walked into the castle’s main hall where Twilight and Celestia were talking.

“Twilight, I know you think he’s nice, but we have no idea what his intentions are and he also attacked you!” Celestia said in concern.

“No, he didn’t attack us, he defended himself because Rainbow Dash and the others attacked him!” Twilight retorted, becoming emotional.

“Even so, he is still dangerous and needs to be sealed up till we know we can trust him,” Celestia said as Rathion’s shout wore off and he was now visible and could be heard walking towards them.

Celestia looked over and watched Rathion walk towards her. She then commanded her guards to restrain him. Rathion raised his eyebrow as the guards charged at him. Rathion drew his custom made Daedric greatsword from the sheath on his back and held it with one hand while he had the life drain spell he had as a Vampire Lord in the other hand. Rathion then prepared for battle.

As the first few charged, Rathion dashed forward and rammed into them, breaking a bunch of their bones. The impact rendered the guards immobile because of how much pain they were in. The second wave of guards charged at him, causing Rathion to sigh as he took a deep breath. “FUS RO DAH!” Rathion’s shout sent what was left of the guards Celestia had brought into the walls around them.

Rathion approached Celestia as she charged up her horn. Rathion raised his greatsword into the air as a high pitched ringing sound came from it, the sword becoming engulfed in hellfire. “Please stop this. I do not wish to fight you,” Rathion said, only receiving a growl and a dirty look from Celestia.

“Celestia stop! He doesn’t want to fight!” Twilight said as she stood in front of her former teacher.

“No! He has caused too much damage and now my guards are nearly dead because of him!” She growled before firing her spell at Rathion. Rathion was then hit by the huge fiery ball of death, launching him backwards into the far wall.

Rathion spat out some blood and stood back up. “I gave you a chance to sort this out peacefully, but now you have forced my hand into violence,” Rathion growled as he shot several explosive life drain spells at her. Celestia dodged the first two, but was then hit by the other three. She felt her energy quickly drain from the spell that hit her. 

She stood up and fired a giant beam at Rathion, making him retaliate with a beam composed of fire, lightning, vampiric drain, and frost spells. Rathion knew he wasn’t strong enough to fight off her spell, but he did his best to weaken it. His magicka eventually ran out and Rathion braced for impact. As he was hit by the spell, Rathion was blown into the wall behind him and was rendered immobile from the waist down.



Celestia charged up her horn as Rathion smirked, he then used his restoration magic to heal his wounds and cure his paralysis. Rathion then grabbed Celestia’s head and slammed it into the wall. As he did this a sickening crunch was heard as Celestia’s muzzle was broken.

Rathion let go of Celestia and backed up thinking she was finished. Rathion huffed and turned around as Celestia casted a healing spell to restore her broken bones and blood that she lost. Celestia snarled and fired multiple spells at Rathion hitting him and blowing him into a wall. 

Rathion spit out blood and chuckled he then took in a breath and shouted, “Mul qua diiv!” As he shouted using the dragon aspect shout glowing armor showed around his Daedric armor, and a spectral dragonborn appeared next to Rathion.

Celestia smirked and chuckled, “This won’t help you demon!” She barked as she summoned up a huge beam of light and fired it at Rathion. Rathion’s accident dragonborn was vaporized and not a split second later he was blown through several walls and landed in the throne room of the castle.

Rathion groaned as Celestia stood over him preparing to deal a final blow to Rathion, “Princess! Stop this! If his people and followers find out you hurt him or even killed him, they’d all work together to destroy us!” Twilight said, panicked. 

Celestia approached Rathion and prepared to nullify his magic and capture him, but a voice that sounded old, wise, and sickening came out of nowhere. “How dare you defile my champion like this you mortal wretch!” the voice said as a black mist formed all around the room and tentacles emerged from the darkness. 

Rathion looked up and smiled. “Lord Hermaeus Mora, I’m surprised to see you here defending me. You’ve never done this with anyone else but Miraak,” Rathion said, chuckling.

“There are things I have planned for you Rathion. I have many things for you to learn, but for now you need to focus on slaying Secronel Nistrn,” Hermaeus Mora said, turning his attention back to Celestia as his tentacles wrapped around her limbs and horn.

“Listen here mortal. If I come back to this world and find out that you’ve harmed my champion or killed him, let’s just say that you will be wishing I put you in the soul carin instead of what I would do to you,” Hermaeus Mora said slowly, sounding old, wise, and scary as hell as of now. Hermaeus dropped Celestia then used a bit of his power to heal Rathion before vanishing into thin air.

Celestia stood back up, looking a bit scared as she was breathing less frantically than she was before. Eventually, she calmed down and sighed.

“See Celestia! I told you that other beings will hurt you if you hurt him,” Twilight said as she shivered, remembering how Hermaeus Mora looked. 

Celestia sighed. “You're right Twilight. I wasn’t thinking and I let my rage blind me,” Celestia said as she turned around and walked towards Rathion, who was still on the ground.

“What do you want now?” Rathion asked as Celestia offered a hoof to help him up.

Rathion stared at her hoof for a few seconds before taking it and allowing Celestia to help him up. “Look, I’m sorry about attacking you, but next time just surrender and we can deal with the situation peacefully” Celestia says as Rathion scoffed.

“I see well we shall do that next time” Rathion says as Twilight had medics come in and pick up the injured guards and carry them off to the hospital.
