> The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim A Light among The Darkness > by Emerald Knight > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > A whole new world > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Its been two mouths since Sam Bielle, a 26 year old Breton, killed Alduin, he has been in his house for the past couple of days, he has been working on his magic skills, he is a warrior, but he still follows some arcane studies to keep his mind sharp, and his fighting skills sharper, but there is one thing that is still messing with his head, the fact that there was another dragonborn who was the first ever dragonborn, and he was nearly killed by him, but his Stalhrim sword that he called Honor, many have fallen to this blade and many more are destined to fall by this blade and he was ready to make there destiny a reality, but he was here for a reason, not to relax but to keep this world from the darkness of evils like the dragons and the daedric princes, and spread the light of Talos and cleanse the souls of the evil, and now that he has cleansed most of skyrim he is now doing something he hasn't done I a while, he's relaxing, he has been so busy that he has neglected to help himself, so there are two words that can explain what he was going to do. Spa. Day. Yes he was going to the steam room in his house just outside of Riverwood. Sam walked out of his study and down his spiral staircase and out the front door of his house and to the building on his property he called 'The Spa House' so he can treat himself with the luxury that is hard to find here in skyrim, but was hard to miss in Cyrodiil, he missed his family and friends there but he has a new reason not to return and he is glad for that new reason because it has not only made him famous but it has also given him thing that he could only dream about. Sam looked around his property and took a deep breath in and a long slow breath out and said "Its a good day to be the Dragonborn, loved by some and feared by all." and he walked in to the spa house, he walked up to the bucket of hot coals and threw one in with some forge tools and let the steam roll over his body as he sat down on the bench and leaned back and relaxed for what felt like the first time in months. "This is much better than fighting and studying any day." he stated as he closed his eyes and let the sweat roll down his muscled chest and body until there was a loud noise that came from outside like thunder but different , like a voice 'Shit is that a dragon' Sam thought as he threw on his Stalhrim heavy armor and grabbed Honor and walked to the door but to his surprise there was nothing out there, he patrolled around Riverwood only to find nothing unusual with the town and returned to 'The Spa House' "By the Divines, I must be hearing things again." he went to the door and pulled it open and was meet by a voice he recognized, it was Talos "Hello, Sam, its good to see you again." "Hello Talos, what brings you to the mortal realm? Another task for me to do?" Talos let out a hearty laugh and said "I can always call on you to give me a good laugh Sam, but yes I have quest for you." "How did I know." "Because you know me to well Sam." "Yes I do. What do you want me to do now Talos?" "I need you to shut that door first, its getting cold in here." Sam grabbed the door knob and shut the door, he then turned to Talos and walked to take a seat next to him "So what was the reason you want to talk to me about?" "I need you to come with me." Talos snapped his fingers and they appeared at Sovngarde "Sam I have brought you here to ask of you another task." Talos started to walk around Sam "As you know, your the savior of skyrim, but you're not just their savior but you are the savior of many other worlds." Talos stopped to look at Sam who said "What do you mean by many other worlds?" "There are many more worlds than Nirn, and many of them don't have any hero's like you and are defenseless to the dark powers of dragons, and the darkness that lies beneath there scales and within there souls that can only be cleansed by the dragonborn." Sam looks at Talos in confusion and asks "How does me killing them and absorbing there soul cleansing them?" "Because when you absorb there soul you leave the darkness that's in there body and only absorb the good in them and free them from their own prison, and now that darkness has turned into a dragon even more powerful than Alduin, and it was able to jump to a different world, similar to your own, but very different as well. I called you to cleanse this world of that darkness. As of right now he has been planning something with a tyrant of a king who enslaved his own kind and sealed the city in a magic trap for if he was ever defeated it would hide the city from all who seek it, he was defeated a second time not to long ago and was sent back to the shadows where he belongs, but the forces holding him there are no longer able to keep him locked in the cage of light along with other dark forces, the forces that made him the tyrant he is, and now he is returning with the help of the dark dragon known as of now as VolkunZii and is planning something, something big." "And I am need why?" Sam asks while starring at the drawing of the dragon called Volkun Zii. Talos let out a deep sigh and said "Because you are the only being in the universe that has the power and ability to kill them both and cleanse their souls. Now you have two days to prepare for you quest and I suggest that you prepare for a long trip." and with a snap of his fingers, Talos sent Sam back to his home in Skyrim "Two days huh?" he looked at the sky in thought then snapped his fingers as he found the idea he was looking for and head to his armory to gather everything he need for his big quest to this new world. He walked up to his forge and crafted himself a dragonbone Great sword, and then walked over to his tanning rack to tan some hides to make some leather and then crafted himself a fur hood and a leather hood incase he need them for his travels and he was sure he was going to need some form of clothing to keep himself warm, but there was always a part of him that made him make at least to of each hood incase he came across a weary traveler who is in need of warmth from the harsh Skyrim cold, after he was done with that he realized that it was getting dark and he need to get in bed so he can have more time to work tomorrow. ~~~~~~~~~~ Next Day ~~~~~~~~~~ Sam awoke early so he could craft some potions and enchant some of his new gear. He walked down to the basement and went to his alchemy table and started to brew up a few health potions, a few poisons, a few mana potions, and a few stamina potions all of great power and he made sure to grab the white phial, he put a Elixir of Health in it. Sam walked to his enchantment table with his Dragonbone sword, Honor, and his Fur hood and cloak, he enchanted Honor with Absorb Health and Absorb Mana enchantment that absorbs 20 points of both, he then enchanted his dragonbone sword with Shock and Frost, they both do 50 points of damage, he then enchanted his hood and cloak with resistance of Frost and Magic. Sam checked the window to see what time it was, and he found himself surprised by it being around 8:00 pm and headed straight to bed. Sam has everything he need to go on this journey and he can't wait to see what this new land has to offer. ~~~~~~~~~~ Next Day ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Sam, wake up Sam." Sam opened his eyes to see Talos standing over him "Is it time for me to go?" Sam asked get a nod as a response. Sam quickly got up and threw on his armor and grabbed his backpack full of everything he needed for his journey in this new land, he threw his potions, poisons, books(incase he got bored), his hood and cloak, and he hooked his dragonbone sword to the side of it and grabbed his enchanted Stalhrim shield and placed it on his arm, and hooked Honor to his waist and walked to Talos and said "I'm ready." Talos looked at Sam and nodded and then grabbed Sam by the shoulders and the next thing he knew they were floating through space and past the many worlds that Talos was talking about. After about what felt like an hour of that Talos pointed to a world with a huge sun to one side and a huge moon on the other side, with the small planet in the middle. "That is the world you must help, you may not be accepted in this new world, but they will accept you after you prove that you are there to help them, but the path you tread is a difficult one, but remember this, you shall not be alone on this path now go stop this darkness." with that Talos threw Sam towards the planet at a high speed, but once near the atmosphere, Talos made Sam teleport to a lake in the Everfree forest. Sam confused and furious shouted unrelenting force to the skies "FUS RO DAH" and it pushed him deeper under water and soon he past out from lack of oxygen. Sam floated back to the surface and was spotted by a yellow pegasus with pink hair. "Oh my, what happed to this poor thing?" she asked herself as she pulled him out of the water and on to the shore and struggled to get him to her cabin just outside the forest. Once she got him to her cabin she placed him in front of her fire place to dry Sam off. Sam awoke with a start when he felt a kick to his back and a small pinch that caused him to jump from his place near the fire and turn to see what was biting him, all he saw was a little bunny with a very cute angry face. Sam leaned down a tried to pick it up only getting a quick kick in the hand "Well you seem to not like guests, now do you bunny." he grabbed the bunny by the fur of its neck and lifted it up to eye level with himself and said "I don't even waste arrows on bunnies like you I just use my dog." after Sam said 'dog' the bunny was shaking in fear, just then the yellow pegasus come in from outside, when she saw that Sam was awake she let out a small squeak and she tried to hide behind her pink hair, Sam saw this and placed the bunny down on the floor and walked to her and ask "Why would you try to hide from me? You have nothing to fear, I won't hurt the innocent. I am Sam Bielle. May I ask who you are miss?" "Fluttershy" she said just barely under a whisper "I'm sorry but I did not hear you, would you mind repeating?" "I-I'm F-Fluttershy." Sam held out his hand and gestured for a hand shake, which she took cautiously and shook his hand. "Nice to meet you Fluttershy, now if its alright to ask, where am I?" she gave Sam a confused look and said "Y-your in P-ponyville." she said a bit nervous of what he was going to say but he now gave her a confused look and said "Are you a talking horse? I ask because I just saw the ears and the tail." he asked while pointing to her head and her tail "Well were actually ponies." "Were? You mean there's more like you?" she nodded and Sam's eyes seemed to roll into the back of his head and the he fainted and fell to the ground, breaking a table that was in the middle of the room, and almost smashing the little bunny, who proceeded to kick his head.
