I sat as the Imperial Stallions dragged the wagon along. I looked across from me at the mint-green unicorn.
What was her name?
Lyra.
Lyra kept on biting at the chains on her hooves, trying to tear them off.
"Give it up Lyra, these binds wont break." A pony next to me said. Who was that?
Ditzy Doo.
The ropes tying my wings together rubbed against my skin uncomfortably.
Honestly I'd be more scared, but throughout my life, I've been dragged from Trotblivion and back. I used to be shy and timid, but that part of me was shattered, violently.
My home had been invaded by bandits. I ran after my family was gutted. Right into an imperial ambush, they thought I was a Stormcolt!
How dumb.
I used to be kind as well but, seeing your family gutted violently changes you a tiny bit, don't you agree?
"Please! You have the wrong pony! I'm not a Stormcolt! LET ME GO!" Ditzy shrieked in panic.
"SHUT UP!" One of the stallions snapped.
Thunderlane.
Eventually, the wagon came to a stop. The Imperial ponies pushed us off the carriage and onto the ground.
A gray pony with a clipboard stepped forward.
Lucky
I put a hoof to my head. As long as I could remember whenever I saw somepony or Something I didn't know, it's name would pop into my head.
And it hurt.
"Bon Voyage?" Lucky called to a cream colored pegasus with a purple and pink mane. She walked with her had down over to the chopping block, a single tear slid down her face when the cloaked unicorn brought the iron axe down on her neck, sending her head rolling into a basket.
These are sick, sick ponies.
"Ditz-" Lucky began.
"YOU'LL NEVER GET ME ALIVE!" The crazed gray pegasus screamed before stumbling away, only to take an arrow to the skull.
"Nopony else run, alright!?" Another pony snapped.
Noteworthy
"And... Who in the world are you?" Lucky asked. It took me a moment to process who he was asking.
It was me.
"I'm Flutttershy..." I replied sadly.
It was then I realized I wasn't scared that I was going to die, I was sad.
The chain restricting my hooves jingled as I dragged them over to the chopping block.
A mare kicked me over so I fell into place.
Octavia
A loud noise rang through the air, causing the Imperials to glance upwards.
"What was that?"
"Nothing, keep going."
Just as the cloaked unicorn was about to behead me. The last thing I expected happened.
A dark purple Dragon landed on the tower behind the unicorn and began to destroy the city with it's fire-breath.
As the Hoofgen guards scrambled around I felt my hooves get cut free.
"Come on! This is our chance to escape!" I heard Lyra's voice say into my ear. I stumbled to the hooves I hadn't been able to use properly for a few hours.
After I got my footing on the shaking ground I took off with the green unicorn. We sprinted towards a door.
Lyra grabbed two lockpicks off the ground and began to fumble with the lock with them. Turning the pick around, then trying the lock, until it snapped.
Lyra growled in frustration. "You try Fluttershy." She said handing me the last lockpick. I poked it into the lock and began to turn it around. Once I heard a click, then the door opened. Me and Lyra ran inside.
An imperial guard pegasus stallion ran over to us with a hammer but my unicorn accomplice stomped his face in. She handed me a long hammer.
"Dagger for me, Warhammer for you." Lyra said quickly and ran off as the dragon's destruction caused the ground to shake.
Me and lyra ran into a storage room.
"Grab any supplies you need and let's get out of here!" She told me quickly. I ran over a barrel and opened it.
Inside was several potions with red bottles.
Healing potion
I grabbed a saddlebag off the ground and put all of the bottles in my bag.
I picked my warhammer back up and held it firmly in my jaws before following Lyra out of the room. Lyra had found only a simple iron mace, but everything counts right?
We both ran through hallways towards the exit.
Right at the door was two guards. I used the extra speed from my wings to jump over one of the guards and I broke in the back of his skull with my hammer. Lyra was still beside me, she had used the dagger to slit the throat of the other guard. I used my hoof to push the heavy door open. We had lived. We survived the Hoofgen attack. I sighed in relief as we trotted down the path. Happy that the threat of both the guards and the dragon was behind us. Literally.
A/N
Well, if you don't know what game this is based off of, it's Skyrim, my new obsession.
Also to clear things up, in this world, Unicorns can only levitate stuff with their horns, no other magic and Pegasi can only use their wings to jump higher and run faster, not to fly. And the chains on their hooves chained their hooves together but left some distance so they can walk. And yes, the main character is a broken Fluttershy, why is she broken? I couldn't work with the timid, shy, and kind pegasus for the role she has to play.
Fun Fact: The original main charrie was Rainbow, but I had saw the idea of Dovahshy and changed it, but trust me, Rainbow's still in this.
Another fun fact: Lyra was originally Applejack
sowwy.
Yet ANOTHER fun fact: The Jarl of Whiterun was going to be Shining Armor but I changed my mind
Question of the day: Who is Lydia going to be? The prize is your O.C. in one of the chapters.
PS: Fanart will be rewarded. *evilgrin*
Hmm, I love the idea although you got rushed around the end. I'd love to see more, an since Lydia was the pack mule of SKYRIMfor most, I think it should be Cranky Doodle Donkey or someone like that. Looking forward to more, you've got a favorite.

Spam spam spam spam spammity spaaam wonderful spam!
911287
Nope sorry, you're wrong. Good guess though, Cranky's kinda old to fight...
One hint, this will give it away.
Lydia was sworn to be LOYAL to you.
911927 I know, what was that guys problem? Advertising, whatever it was on my story!
I deleted the comment. Ugh.
912283
Rainbow Dash then, but would she die as easy as Lydia did for me? Darn...
Quote from SW1TCHBL4D3: "Lydia was sworn to be LOYAL to you." is it really that hard to figure out? RAINBOW DASH IS LYDIA!!! :D
912330 nah. RD don't die often enough
lydia got aproximately 10-20 deaths per hour (for me). RD isn't even close to that
also j'zargo (the mage) is MUCH more loyal than lydia. he also does it of free will! not to mention that he is exactly as cocky as RD!
912405 WELL FUCK YOU! I'm waiting for SW1TCHBL4D3's opinion, NOT YOURS
912496 okay okay, just don't go all flutterrage please
you are free to ignore my opinion and move on. just please watch your language. i won't report you, but there is plenty out there who keeps the banhammer close. just a frinedly advice.
dartmaul15 leaving this toppic dead...
912751
Youmobliviously haven't been here long. The moderators care less ifnyou or actlike that. Take Poultron for example.
914094
wel, my profile can't lie.
to be honest, that suprised me. being deep in the tes moding comunity i have gotten used to the strict rules there. heck, even hinting on torrenting os stuf like that earns you a permaban.
wel, in that case; do as you want. i won't stop you, nor save you
914159>>914094
Please, stop arguing, you'll meet Lydia soon.
What's this about Lydia always dying?
My brother attacked Lydia (He's lvl 35) and Lydia killed him in ten seconds. (Flat.)
What a XD (See wat I did ther?)
914261 last post from my side...
the reason everyone say lydia always die is because most use her as a packmule, giving her junk. combine this with foolhardy playstyle and you got kamikaze
also there were a bug that prevented followers from leveling up fter you met them. this forced many to get stuck with lvl 1-10 lydia when they were lvl 30+
916278
My brother's Lydia is like lvl 40+.
I never use Lydia so she's like very weak. She dies alot for me. But my brother IS married to Lydia, does that make her level up more or something?
Wait, that makes no sense.
916278 i don't give lydia all my stuff....... but....... maybe i should...... NAH! i will when im at 400 weight (my max is 420 from a stone thing)
916731 likely, yes. marring someone temporarily dismisses them as followers. this reset their stats, and thus leveling them up to your lvl.
there is also a few mods who fix the leveling. if you play on PC that is.
916848 give her 1 set of improved best armor, 1 improved best shield and 1 1h sword with strongest enchant. give her armor a few enchants to. she might live with that equipment
My guess is Lydia will be Applejack. Dead giveaway.

...
921363Why so sad?
923234 Because I hope you're being sarcastic.
N-No offense... XD
912405 Good guess!
But... Uhhhh... Rendan was right, it's RD, he won.
why ditzy?
