Recruitment: Talking Horses!?
Location: Canterlot Castle underground.
Time: 6:28 p.m.
Princesses Celestia and Luna sat in a darkened hall, deep under the castle of Canterlot. The room was lit dimly by torches, providing barely enough light for them to see the entire hall. On the ground before them, was three circles in a triangular formation, each filled with different designs and patterns, all drawn by chalk. Celestia had a an aged tome floating in front of her, contained by her magical grip, studying it with her sister. After a few moments, she gently closed it and levitated it away. "It seems we followed and copied everything to the letter and angle. These will work, I know it." Luna looked to her, a concerned frown on her face. "Are you sure about this, Tia? Bringing such individuals here, one alone may be catastrophic!"
Celestia shook her head with a heavy sigh. "I worry too, Luna. But our guards are unable to beat these creatures, and the other nations are having enough trouble dealing with them. No matter what, we need these beings." Luna was about to argue with her sister once again, when she heard the sound hooves coming from the hall on the far side of the room. After a minute or two, the ancient door opened up, revealing their niece, Princess Cadence, wearing her usual attire.
After the greetings were exchanged, Celestia and Luna became serious once again, Celestia taking the lead. "Thank you for coming on such short notice. As you know, every nation is under attack by strange beings, made up of shadow. We have contacted the other nations, only to find that Equestria is on it own in this conflict, due to them having the same problems as us." Luna walked towards the runes and sat in the middle of them, facing the group. "In response to this, Celestia and I have delved deep into the works of Star Swirl the Bearded, and found a spell that may assist us. This spell will transport the user to a different world, depending on the circle drawn. There were three highly recommended."
She pointed to the one on her right, behind her. "This one, when activated, will take the caster to the world of The Wanderer. A being who has roamed the land of a ruined world, and survived its trials." She lowered her leg and pointed behind herself again, to the left with her other leg. "This one will lead the caster to the land of the Warden. A powerful being who has vanquished many in the name of his land, to save it from total destruction." She then moved her leg to point to the one in front of her. "And this one, the one I will be activating, leads the caster to the land of The Dragon Slayer. Do not let the name fool you, this being slays dragons to protect those of their realm as well, since the dragons want to destroy all life. The catch with this being, is that they share the soul of a dragon as well." She then lowered her leg and inhaled deeply, Celestia joining her side and facing their silent and awestruck niece.
"The reason we called you here, is because we wish For you to retrieve the supposedly kinder one of these three, and said three heroes will join Twilight and the other Element Bearers back to Ponyville, since they seem to be concentrated in that are for some reason. I will go and find the Wanderer, Candence, should you accept, will find the Warden. These circles should take you to the safest, and closest, place near the Warden. Do you accept?" Cadence nodded and trotted over to the circle, standing in front of it. "I'm ready Aunt Celestia. Tell me how to activate it." Celestia walked over and nudged sat beside her. "Just pour your magic into it, it will open the portal. Try to bear in mind, the Warden will not be a Pony, like us. Whomever it is will have an aura about them that well let you identify them. Good luck." Candence let her magic flow into her horn. "Same to you Aunt Celestia, Aunt Luna." Luna and Celestia nodded and trotted over to their own circles, Celestia and Luna's horns already alight with magic.
As one, the Alicorns poured their magic into their respective portals, the runes coming to life, and in a flash, a bright blue, oval shaped portal was before each of them. Slowly, each entered the portals, leaving the room bare, the portals the only proof of any activity in the hall.

Princess Cadence
Location: Forests near Ostagar.
Local Time: 2:38 p.m.
Princess Cadence walked out of the portal into a beautiful forest, seemed peaceful, and full of life. Violent life, for the sounds of battle came upon her ears nearby. Turning, she made her way towards it, as quickly and quietly as possible. She came upon a rise, the sounds of battle close now. Dropping onto her belly, she crawled towards the edge and peeked over it, shocked by what she saw. Four individuals were surrounded by monstrous creatures resembling them, but twisted and deformed.
Said four beings were a tall being, whom looked like they were made out of stone, with gemstones located at certain points on its body, standing tallest of the group. The second being was at least half said beings height, wearing deep blue robes, a hood over their head, and holding a staff in their hands, said staff being a simple one made of, what seemed to be a tree branch. Cadence had trouble breaking her sight from the being for some reason, but did so. The third was a head shorter than the last, wearing a dark, padded leather armor with a leather skirt, holding two daggers in her hands, reverse grips. The final one was half her size, wearing blood red chain mail armor with a single shoulder pad, a full head of Carrot colored Orange hair on his head, and a large beard to match. This one was wielding a rather large, dual-bladed battleaxe, coated heavily with black blood, which nearly made Cadence sick.
Suddenly, the hooded being lifted their left, claw like appendage, holding two claws up in front of their mouth while pointing the staff at the group in front of him, a large lightning bolt striking the one closest to them, which then split up and continued to hit every single being in their field of vision, electrocuting them thoroughly. The largest beings started pounding on their enemies, the weapons that made contact with its skin doing barely any damage at all. The shortest one became a whirlwind with its axe, swinging it with precision, cutting down multiple enemies at once, downing its foes almost as fast as the stone giant. The final one, started dancing among her enemies gracefully, striking swiftly and then dodging out of harm's way.
The group had dispatched the beings within minutes, much to the awe of Cadence. Her attention focusing on the hooded being once again. Something about them was drawing her to them. 'Could that one be the Warden...?' Her thoughts were interrupted by a loud growl from behind her. She turned her head to see one of the deformed creatures raising its sword to strike her. Before it could, she screamed and leaped off the rise and towards the group below, entering Fight or Flight mode.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grey Warden Commander Adrian
Location: Forests near Ostagar.
Time: 2:42 p.m.
His team had just vanquished the ambush party. Before Adrian could congratulate them, he heard a woman screaming, and spun with the rest of his group to find, 'A UNICORN WITH WINGS!?' The pink unicorn leaped from the rise she was on, screaming with a surprisingly human voice, a Darkspawn right behind her, snarling as it charged after her. Adrian looked to his dwarf companion. "Ohgren! The Darkspawn!" Ohgren shook himself out of his stupor and charged past the Alicorn, swinging his axe so that it caught the Darkspawn in the gut and continued to cleave it in two.
The scared Alicorn then hid behind Adrian, shivering with fright, staring at the now dead Darkspawn. Leliana walked over, sheathing her daggers and kneeling close to Adrian. "Adrian, is that... A unicorn with wings?" Adrian looked from the frightened creature to Leliana and nodded. "You see it as well? Great, then I'm not hallucinating, which means I didn't accidentally drink some of Ohgren's home brewed ale." The dwarf set the axe on his back, the enchantments to his armor holding it there. "Now wait just a minute! My ale may be volatile, but it won't make ya see things like this!" The dwarf looked to Shale, the Stone golem nearby, who was studying the Alicorn as well. "Well, ya big hunk of rock? Are we all hallucinating?"
The golem shook its head and crossed its stone arms. "I am afraid not. I am seeing the creature as well." Said Creature, Princess Cadence, looked up at the one she was hiding behind, the one called Adrian, and suddenly stopped shaking. She immediately felt calm, like this being was in control of the situation, calm and collected itself. She stood and backed away slightly, clearing her throat, every memeber of the group looking at her with complete attention. "G-greetings. My name is Princess Mi Amore Candenza, or Cadence, for short. I am here from my world, looking for a being know as The Warden, said to have vanquished hordes of beings to save their land from destruction. Do you happen to know them?" The group of Wardens were shocked silent. A talking Unicorn with wings....
Leliana stood up, keeping her eyes on this, Cadence, silent saying a prayer to the Maker for guidance. Ohgren was wondering if he was dreaming, Shale was wondering if she added a gem with a great about of magic that was making her hallucinate like a human, and Adrian was just silent. He took a step forward and pulled his hood back, revealing him to have raven black hair, cut short, with pointed ears, an angular face, and piercing blue eyes, his staff now floating next to him. "I'd guess I would be said Warden. I am Commander Adrian Valroth, Leader of the Grey Wardens. What do you wish of me, Princess, and more so, where are you from?" His voice was young, but firm and authoritative.
Cadence smiled slightly. "I am from a world known as Equis. I came here to ask for your help, Ser Adrian." She bowed her head to him. "Please, return with me to help. Our country is under attack by beings made of shadows, and our military can't stop them, I beg of you, please help." Adrian blinked and looked to his group, then to Cadence in front of him. For some reason, he couldn't help but trust her.
He turned to his group, more specifically, Leliana. "Leliana, you know I can't abandon those in need of aid..." She smiled and leaned forward, kissing him deeply before backing away. "I know. Just return safely, alright? Maker watch over you, love." Adrian nodded and looked to Ohgren. "Ohgren! You and Nathaniel are in charge of the Wardens until I return, got it? Don't kill any recruits before their Joining now." Ohgren grunted, and shale gave a deep chuckle. Cadence stood back to her full height and looked at the carnage about her. 'I hope he isn't like this too often...' She shook her head when she noticed he was watching her. With a beckoning motion, she lead him to the portal, entering it almost immediately. Adrian took in a deep breath before stepping through himself, the portal closing behind him.

Princess Celestia
Location: Capitol Wasteland, Springvale
Local time: 3:49 p.m.
Celestia stepped out of the portal at the edge of the mostly destroyed trail. Unlike Cadence, she knew how to easily track her target. With a flare of magic, she had the direction. She turned away from the small town and to the mass of scrap metal put up to make the outer walls of Megaton. As she got close, the robot out front spoke in a mechanical voice. "Halt. Please state your business, sir or madam." Celestia smiled and raised her voice slightly, spotting the sentry aiming at her atop the wall. "Pardon me! I am looking for one known as The Wanderer! Is he or she here at the moment?" The sentry, a bald man in scrapped together leather armor, was dumbstruck, and lowered his aim in shock before shaking his head and aiming at the strange creature again. "And so what if The Wanderer is here!? Wadya want with em? And what the fuck are you!?"
Celestia winced at the language, but smiled anyhow. "I am Pr-, Celestia, and I come to ask for their aid, if that is alright! I can wait here if needed, kind sir." And with that, she sat down on the hard ground, wishing to have a bath as soon as possible. The sentry blinked and lowered his rifle, standing up straight when a gruff, authoritative, and aged voice called out to him. "Hey Dave! What's going on over there!?" Dave turned and looked down to see an African american colored man with a full, raven black beard, wearing a green duster, dark grey shirt and pants with combat boots, and a green cowboy hat on his head, covering his hair. "Sheriff! Some....Thing, is here, asking for Sarah! Asking for her by her title too, says that she wants her help!"
The man down below, Sheriff Lucas Simms, frowned and shook his head. "Sounds about right. Main reasons people trek out this far now-a-days is to get a glimpse of her. And wadya mean 'Thing?'" Dave looked back to see Celestia still sitting there with a warm smile before looking back to the Sheriff. "She needs to see for herself man!" Lucas shook his head and turned to his right, hopping over the pipe jutting out of the ground and walking up the staircase built into the dirt, moving onto the platform of which The Lone Wanderer's house sat. He walked up to the front door and knocked hard, three times.
There was the sound of glasses being fumbled with, then a heavy thud before the door opened to reveal a woman with short cut red hair, brown eyes, and wearing a clothing set similar to his, minus the hat, and her coat was a dull brown. Her voice was smooth as silk, that of a movie star back in the day, same could be said for her amazing curves, and only nineteen to boot. "Oh hey Lucas. What's the matter? Another tourist after my autograph?" Lucas shrugged and smiled at her. "Not this time Sarah. Dave says that someone, or, as he puts it, some THING is at the gate for you. He seems on edge. You wanna check it out?"
Sarah, or, as the Wasteland called her, The Lone Wanderer, chuckled before kneeling down and lifting up her right pant leg a bit, showing a revolver strapped to her leg. "I got this." She stood up as Lucas stepped aside, walking past him while shutting the door behind herself. Making sure to lock it, she headed down to the gate with Lucas. "Hey Dave! Open her up! I got this!" Dave nodded before pulling a lever next to him. The jet engine in the front of the wall spun up rapidly, and the gates slowly opened up, revealing to Sarah the being who asked for her, which got a raised brow from her and Lucas. "What. The. Fuck? Is that....A horse? With wings? And a horn?" Lucas stepped next to her and shook his head. "I have NO idea Sarah. Me and Dave got your back. Go on."
Sarah nodded before stuffing her hands in her pockets and strolling out of the safety of Megaton's walls. She walked towards Celestia, till she was ten feet from her, both sides studying each other. Sarah was wondering if the town was hallucinating from the Wasteland fumes, while Celestia studied Sarah's aura. Resourceful, loyal, and an overpowering sense to do the right thing. 'She is the one, I hope.' Sarah rubbed the back of her hand, looking Celestia up and down some more, till she spoke. "Greetings. I trust you are The Wanderer?" Sarah chuckled. "The full title is 'The Lone Wanderer,' but yeah. So, who are you, and what the hell are you?"
Celestia giggled a bit. "Of course, I have yet to introduce myself. I am Celestia. I know this may sound strange, but I come from....Somewhere not of this world, if you will." Sarah frowned, stuffing her hand in her pocket again. "We talking two different planets here? because the last time I encountered an alien race, they were capturing, dissecting, and mutating humans. Well, until they nabbed me. Big mistake on their part." Celestia blinked and chuckled. "I see. Well, then, I am Princess Celestia of Equestria, on the planet Equis. To cut to the chase, as it were, my kingdom, which I rule with my younger sister, is under attack. Those attacking are creatures made of shadow, able to overwhelm even our best guards. I came here, hoping to enlist your help. Will you come back with me, and aid me in protecting my kingdom? You will be taken care of, of course. Food, lodging, ectcetera."
Sarah frowned, furrowing her brow. For some odd reason, she just, hell, outright trusted this horse-thing called Celestia. Her mind went into overdrive before finally caving in. "Follow me please, Celestia." Celestia stood once again as Sarah turned around and followed her back to the city. "The name is Sarah, by the way. Sarah Rogers." Celestia couldn't help but smile even wider as she followed Sarah past a dumbstruck Lucas and to Sarah's house. Wadsworth was in the kitchen, charging. Sarah's home was simple. A soda machine, stand filled with bobble heads, a chemistry lab upstairs, and a workbench near the door. Sarah went for the locker near the bobble head stand, opening it up and pulling out two large satchels and a weapon. This weapon had a rectangular shape with a grip under it, leading to the but of the rifle, with three large holes in the stock, and down to the trigger. The rifle also had the words 'Metal Blaster' neatly carved onto either side of the rectangular barrel.
Sarah then pulled out a strap and attached to the gun before slinging it over her shoulder. She then picked up one of the satchels and dumping all four hundred and eighty-eight bullets for her revolver into it, before setting it down and picking the other one up, filling it with small yellow cylinders, a total of one thousand, five hundred, fifty six shots worth of Micro-fusion ammo. She then secured both satchels to her waist and turn to the patiently waiting Celestia. "Let's move." The two exited the home, which Sarah locked again, and left the city together, the gate shutting behind them. Celestia led her to the portal and entered first. Sarah however, reached into her duster, pulling out a crumpled up dark brown fedora before popping back to nearly perfect before setting on her head and entering the portal, which shut close behind her.

Princess Luna
Location: High Hrothgar, The Summit
Local time: 4:56 p.m.
Luna stepped out of her portal in the middle of a snow covered peak, the only things around her being snow, the rest of the mountain, continuing up through the clouds, and a semi-circular structure, with a being on its knees, meditating. Said being was wearing a form of midnight black armor with a cape, and a hood over their head and a facemask covering her lower face. Combined with the shadow cast by their hood, their face was almost non-existent. At the being's side was a crossbow only. The being slowly stood up, picking the crossbow up, before turning to face Luna. The being was skinny, nimble by the looks of it, and the bumps on their chest, (boobs) were at a c-cup, their rear flat. A midnight black tail was curled around their right leg. The being spoke, a feminine voice with a slight accent. "Who, or what might you be? And what is your purpose here?"
Luna shook her head, seeing the piercing, orange feline eyes appear from the shadows of the hood. She quickly studied the beings overpowering aura. Strong, passionate, and unpredictable. She cleared her throat and spoke over the winds that had suddenly picked up. "I am Princess Luna, co-ruler of the Diarchy of Equestria! I have come looking for the Dragon Slayer with the very soul of one, do you know of them?" The being walked towards Luna and stopped five feet away, before reaching up with a free hand and pulling back the hood and down the face mask, revealing a feline face, short ears, no hair except her midnight black fur. The Khajiit grunted. "I am her. But the term is known as Dragon Born. I am Veskia. Now, what are you doing here? And what in the name of the Nine is Equestria?"
Luna frowned and studied the woman before her. "It is a country I rule with my sister. She and my niece have gone to find two others in other worlds. My purpose is to bring you back with me. Our world is under attack from creatures made of shadows, and we require aid. Aid that, sadly, the other kingdoms cannot give, for they face the same problems as us. Please, come with me, Dragon Born Veskia." Veskia furrowed her brow, studying this, Luna. She was always a good judge of character, and this time was no different. "And what happens when these Shadow creatures are defeated?" Luna blinked, but did not forget to answer. "You will be returned here, to your world. Do you accept?"
Veskia looked in the sky, knowing the Master of the Voice was no doubt watching. She shook her head before pulling up her face mask and hood. "Alright. Let's see what I can do. And just call me Vesk." Luna smiled, turning and entering the portal Veskia shook her head and sighed. "I just saved Tamriel, and now I'm saving another world entirely.....Wait, she said two others....Eh, at least I won't be alone...." Veskia walked through the portal, not noticing it closed behind her......

Argh another Dragonborn who only kills dragons. So borrring. That has been done to death. Although I like the concept of the story.
Nice story, thanks for not doing anthro. S
it's creepy.
2947027 She hasn't only killed Dragons. GOD! Why do people assume that!? I thought I specifically put that she is the ultimate Dragon Slayer (Which the Dragon Born is), and in no way or form confirmned nor denied that she only killed Dragons!? Ya'll hafta wait fer the backround stories ya know!
2947279 Your welcome.
2947027 Oh but still thanks for the criticism. Trying my hand at something new.
2947368 [shrugs] the idea of a female Dovahkiin is awesome. I must ask. Is she more of a mind set of "See a dragon try and reason with it and have it join her" or "See a dragon and slaughter it"
2948240 -le grin.- she will try to reason with it. Hell, everytime I play skyrim now a days I use the Bend Will shout and cqlm em down. They leave after ya fly with em.
2948254 FUCKING FINALLY! I have seen so many Dovahkiins that choose to slaughter any dragon they come across. Skyrim needs a mod that gives you Fluttershys "Stare" mod and allows you to stare down anything and give it the option to become a companion.
I would have personally liked a Nord more than a Khajiit but awesome nonetheless I hope to see more.
2950020 But a Nord is SO steriotypical for Dovahkiin! khajiit....Well, shit, you tell me ONE fanfiction with a Khajiit Dovahkiin on this site and link it, I will rest my case and give you this point, sir.
(Clap, Clap, Clap) Congratulations. I shall favorite this piece of art and like it.
My only question is, creatures of shadow... Why not Kingdom Hearts?!?
2953872 Toche
