Gleaming Shield was just a recruit in the Royal Guard. She wasn't a greenhorn by any means, she was an elite. Not yet a captain, but still elite. And yet, here she was, in a realm not her own and gazing around in wonder just like a recruit would be.
A little too much curiosity had sadly caused her to get dropped off into a completely new land, filled with things she'd never seen and more violence than she'd ever want.
A land, called Skyrim.
Let me explain the tags here.
The Anthro tag only applies while a pony or, really, anyone from Equestria is on the other side. This is because I've decided the Mirror does what it did in the movies; It changes your form to suit the world on the other side. And, since Elder Scrolls has Khajiit, Argonians, and some other Beastmen (most of which haven't been seen quite yet), I thought it only logical for ponies to become anthros in Skyrim/Tamriel.
The sex tag is there only for implications and mentions of sex, there will be none shown, only bits where a character is in their undergarments.
The gore tag is pretty self explanatory. You do commonly see decapitations and stuff in Skyrim, plus, think about how you always get pelts in the game. I figure it only makes sense to describe just a bit of the process you do it in.
Also, narcotics goes without saying as well, since Skyrim has booze and Moon Sugar as well as refined Moon Sugar called Skooma. (Think of it as heavily refined Crystal Meth turned into a liquid. Yeah. Shit's crazy.)
This is set before even Season 1 of the show, before Gleaming would meet Cadance.
Anyways, I hope you will all enjoy this spiritual revival of my character, Black, formally known as the Black Statue.
