A human after dying in a plane crash, awakens as the dragon Smaug, too bad he's coin sized!
After dying in a plane crash a human awakes in ancient Saddle Arabia, as "Coin Smaug" a fan-made version of the terrible dragon from J.R.R. Tolkien's famous book series Lord of the Rings, Becoming a savior of a kingdom running out of gold, a dark unicorn who wishes to bend all to his command, and then ending up thousands of years into the future after a battle against said dark unicorn?? Hopefully I don't end up turned to stone like everyone else, uh B-Kitty why are you grinning like that?
********* Attention: Celestia, Luna and Main Six will not be in story until a long time, as OC's and other characters will be used as I do not want the "character and main show characters friends early/instant" as most stories do it and can be annoying. I am giving OCs and background characters the spotlight.
I am looking for OC's to use in this sory as I cannot provide so many. No alicorn/mary sue OC's are accepted as they have no place here. Preferably colt/filly characters for story later on.
Sex tag for sexual humor as some character will at time be immature and make those sort of jokes.
The sound of the planes engine turbines were loud outside of my seats oval window, as was expected when having to be seated on a wing-seat on the plane. I frowned slightly as I rested my head on the palm of my hand, my long fringe annoyingly poking one green eye as I gazed lazily out at the darkening sky from 39,000 feet above the pacific ocean.
It was boring up here, especially when the person next to me was a mother with a currently crying baby girl, I didn't want to bother the poor lady she already had to deal with the fussy child, I hardly felt like doing much at all yet wanted to do more. I quietly sighed thinking boredly 'geez wish something interesting would happen'
I turned back to my book I had read twice on this plane already, The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, I was already up to Smaug's monologue in the book. There was nothing to do so I instead just opened the book to my bookmarked page, the pages slightly crinkled from age and from reading the book so many times.
* I kill where I wish and none dare resist. I laid low the warriors of old and their like is not in the world today. Then I was but young and tender. Now I am old and strong, strong strong--*
-*BANG* I jerked up, people screaming in terror as the plane rocked unsteadily whipping my head to the wing outside my window my face contorted into dread and terror, eyes wide as I saw flames licking at the turbines of the plane, black smoke billowing into the air, with the wind mixing itself in the mess it contorted to hellish whipping flames and smoggy black pillars of smoke.
Tears pricked at my eyes as I stared at the cause of mine and so many others doom, there was no way we would survive, we were alone for miles and the ocean below us, in the distance a stormy sky. There would be no survivors. So many would die with me, families and friends would die, the pets in carriages below would also die, others on the mainland waiting for their loved ones would never see them again as we all would not return. They might find the planes carcass but not the people..or any survivors in that case.
The plane shock violently inducing more screams of terror and loud crying, I turned to the lady next to me, she was holding her child close to her sobbing incoherent words along the lines of sorry, we won't make it home for you. Grief tore at my heart these people don't deserve this kind of death, they should be surrounded by family and die peacefully and content with happy memories instead of their last moments being taken by the grip of fear and terror.
I took out my phone and gave it to the lady "You should leave your family a message before its too late" She looked at it before gently taking it, quickly voice messenging I suppose her husbands email address. 'Honey, I won't make it home today, the planes going down Just remember I love you with all my heart please tell everyone else I will watch over them from heaven and never forget the happy memories we all made together, I will always love you all. Love Melissa and Katy' she then handed back my phone before hugging the baby presumably named Katy, she smiled at me tears streaking her face, "Thank you so much"
I smiled back happy that I had helped another before my own demise, That smile quickly vanished after the plane lurched the wing exploding off, causing everyone to lurch and cover their selves instinctively, The plane violently started tilting off balance as it lurched downwards straight towards the ocean.
The clap of thunder and roaring turbines were the last things I heard before pain like fire and freezing ice shot through me and all was black.
********
...ugh, I felt sore all over my body it felt all so strange and wrong overall I felt foreign to myself, I slowly managed to use my odd arms to push myself into a type of sitting position as my eyes adjusted to the bright light in the--
Holy sprinkles I was in a massive circular chamber the walls were painted with beautiful arts of polished marble that looked like it belonged in the Taj Mahal with a high ceiling like a dome, windows dotted the chamber as beams of light poured in, on all sides stretching away across the unseen floors, lay countless piles of precious things, gold wrought and unwrought, gems and jewels, and silver gleaming in the mornings first light, as they rested in the pit that made up the middle of the floor as some type of tower.
My eyes widened in shock as I registered the fact I was perched upon the top of the tallest mountain of pure gold and jewels, drooling as a strange sensation came over me as I stared at the gold beneath my claws.
My jaw dropped as all my attention focused on my arms three long talons, my eyes than trailed to my lizard-like muzzle and red colouring, I checked the rest of my body in stunned silence, my arm was in fact a wing which would be used as a way of flight and walking, my legs now reptilian dragon legs with three claws similar in shape to a tyrannosaurus, A long scaled tail waved from behind my as I wagged the new limb before wishing to see my new face, directing my vision downwards mind nearly crashed at the coin I was perched on, it was huge! The same size as my body currently a strange carving on its surface of a flame wrapping around draconic wings, did this mountain belong to giants or was I coin sized? I sure hope not.
I needed to see my face, taking advantage my much useful long and flexible neck gave me the vision to be able to see from most of the gold mountain, and there sticking out from the lower levels in the pit was a silver and lapis handheld mirror glimmering alongside the gold tower,
"ok alright, wait is- is that my voice?" it sounds scarily familiar from a movie I always loved to watch in my free time after a stressful day, It was deep, with an undertone of growls and near silent hisses, it seemed to echo in a spine chilling way, however my words of choice ruined the amazing voice I now had, "Testing, testing 626, ok this is definitely a familiar voice" something was off though I couldn't place a finger on it. I shook my head, mirror now voice change later.
Using absolutely stunning agility and grace I carefully climbed down the mountain to the mirror.
*CRASH* FUDGE! *BANG* THIS! *KKFFFFFFFPPPP* BODY!
After my graceful display of multiple totally on purpose trips, crashes, flailing and cursing I purposely slammed into the mirror, I shot up eyes closed lips pursed head held high as if nothing was wrong with the total destruction of the gold tower, I held onto the mirror, looking straight down at it as I opened my eyes before widening at my new face,
My head was oval horizontally with two prominent "frill" of horns around my head, spines lining the back of my head trailing down my neck, back and tail. Piercing amber eyes stared right back in shock, the eyes which only belonged to one creature, Smaug the Terrible, although I was a tiny and admittedly cute version of Smaug, I was undoubtedly Smaug, the last dragon from Lord of the Rings. The King under the mountain.
A wave of terror and realisation washed over me, wait male voice and I'm Smaug..oh no, I looked between my legs before seeing the signs of a male lizards anatomy. I was now a guy.
"AHHHHH!!!!!!" I immediately snapped my maw shut as I heard a new voice in the room, tilting my head slightly confused at how the voice was only just screaming and not when the golden mountain shifted and partly collapsed, It had come from the other side of the gold mountain, Using my legs and arms similar to how I watched Smaug in the movies and bats "walking" when I watched documentary's on animals.
As I used my limbs, I recognised that it was just like walking on fours with the arms elbows facing out and hands facing in like how one would try to mimic a monitor lizards slow gait, Using my strange limbs like a monitor lizard and a bat, I easily started to understand walking like how one would with a bike.
"W-who's there!? Where am I!? If you've kidnapped me you'll regret it!" The unfamiliar voice cried out once again, confused and most likely scared. As I rounded the corner my eyes widened in complete surprise and shock. It was another tiny dragon, though it was a bit bigger than I was currently,
The dragon had a sleek, dark body with black scales, having faint lighter patterns similar to that of a manta ray, resembling an axolotl or a gecko in general appearance and has two pairs of wings with a shape similar to a bat, with tail fins on its tail, two mobile, ear-like appendages on the back of its head as well as 3 other pairs around its jaw. It had a short neck and lacked any kind of horns. Also having pair of large, angel blue cat-like eyes staring straight at me in shock.
It was a freaking tiny nightfury. Its eyes were wide and scared "d-dragon, don't eat me.. I taste bad" "uh dude, I ain't going to eat you, heck wouldn't that be cannibalism?" The dragon reared back shocked, "cannibalism? I'm not a dragon like you, I'm a human!" the supposed human turned dragon exclaimed in confusion. My amber eyes narrowed "human? Then I'm Google" Yes I used a well known joke and Google to try and confirm.
The humans eyes widened in shock once again, before falling in a jokingly flirtatious manner "and I'm your internet" ......what "A-are you hitting on me?" The male nightfury froze in realisation his angel blue eyes widened as he quickly denied it shouting 'no' multiple times as he shook his head rapidly, I rolled my eyes at his behaviour, boys can overreact at the most annoying of times,
"So your human huh? Well look at yourself now night fury" The nightfury stopped before glaring, geez bipolar much? "I'm not a dragon! I'm just a human!" he lifted a fore paw "see perfectly normal hu--" the black dragon froze mid-word staring in (oh surprise guess what it is) shock.
He turned his paw around observing it as his jaw drop, his head turned around as he studied his new body, pupils dilated as his eyes roamed from his legs, wings, tail and jet black scales, The nightfury looked back at me before asking "Are.. You a human too?" I nodded before I could reply verbally the nightfury shot questions at me, "Why are we dragons? Where are we? How did we get here? Why am I a nightfury? And is there a mirror?" he asked really fast in a panicked voice.
I took in a deep breath before answering, "I don't know, no idea, we died, I also have no idea and yes, there is a mirror" Taking another breath before stopping seeing the nightfury's face contort into dread "We...died?" I flinched remebering the searing pain before waking up on top of the gold as Smaug.
Hanging my head as tears threatened to appear, "Yeah.. I died in a plane crash, travelling to America" The nightfury perked up before his face fell, eyes already welling up with tears, "I... Remember the screaming, the panick, the... Fear, as the plane plummeted to the ocean.." He sniffed in pure grief.
Uh oh, crap! Gotta change the subject! "ssoo, my names Kira what's yours?" the nightfury looked up looking weirdly at me as he wiped away his tears with a paw in a cat-like manner, "Isn't Kira a girls name?" If I had fur or feathers I would of puffed them up in agitation, so I instead settled with a deadpanned glare, the nightfury froze lifting a paw try cover his mouth while failing to stifle a snort of laughter, "H-hey! No laughing at my sudden gender change!" I hissed in annoyance.
The nightfury calmed himself down tears of laughter in the corners of his eyes, "s-sorry, anyways the names Zyon" I nodded in accepting his apology, "anyway, where the mirror?" he asked once again, "Oh! Right! This way follow me! And just call me Smaug or something... Since I'm now him" as I turned around and walked back towards where I left the mirror, Zyon carefully moved his legs one in front of the other trying to copy me, his legs wobbled unsteadily before he collapsed on his face all four legs splayed out to the sides as he groaned in annoyance, I stopped my walking and turning my head over my shoulder to look at him, he tried a few more times before succeeding and heading to the mirror, however before we finally got to the mirror, a door creaked open the person we could not see but could clearly hear as we froze mid-stride, a young girls voice could be heard "H-hello? Is someone in here?"
I looked Zyon straight in the eye before silently both deciding for one of us to open our mouths and answer, "yes? We're down here! Can you help us get out?" Zyon asked as friendly as he could, the sound of..hoofsteps? Could be heard as the unknown young girl came closer, we waited in tension as we looked up at the upper rim of the pit we were in, expecting to see a human girl peer down at us, Wait... Is that a horse??
The two of us stared in silent stupor as the horse foal stared back with cartoonishly large feminine eyes expressing shock, suspicion and curiosity. The horse had a soft white coat, dappled with tiny tan cream spots under its lavender purple eyes, it had a lilac mane and tail, short with a visible plait braided in the mane, darker accents of purple in the mane and tail were also visible.
The horse was wearing something yet from my distance below the horse peering down at us, the garments were quite similar in appearance to Arabian Horse Costumes, in which people would dress their horses up and do shows mostly dressage to the audience. Unique patterns of flowers sewn into the edges if the saddle blanket, colours of soft blues and greens gracing the saddle. Around the horses neck was a thick crescent necklace adorned with small white jasmine flowers and gems of white, tiny diamonds and pearls primly. Atop her head was a silver elven leafed circlet a small pearl in the centre of the forehead.
Zyon cleared his throat and spoke to the cartoon horse as if expecting it were intelligent enough to speak back or point the way out, "*ahem, hello! Horse! I and my friend here need assistance to get out of this... Gold pit, can you get help" Rolling my new draconian eyes at the sheer stupidity of such a notion-- "Excuse me, did you just call me, Horse?" the filly glared offended as if she'd never encountered such a rude dragon in her life--Wait, it talked?
My jaw as well as Zyon's dropped open in shock, "D-did you..just talk?" the obvious nightfury asked shakily not believing what he was hearing, he glanced at me and by seeing my own expression confirmed that he wasn't the only one going crazy. Not sure he should be relieved though.
"Of course I did you-you imbecile! And why are you in the Royal Treasury!" the filly ordered her body seemed to be shaking slightly as if she were... Scared of us.
Huh well right now I'm pretty sure Zyon is more scared and confused than the horse child, a glance at the bigger probably younger dragon confirmed that he was badly shivering. So I stepped in, "My lady, we unfortunately don't know how we came to be in this treasury, only that we awoke not long ago in this location, can we count on your assistance to help us out?" Huh did it work? I'll assume so cause it looks like she's stopped and is probably more confident.
The filly puffed out her chest before smiling, "Of course I'll help! I'll be back in a minute so don't move!" She backed away trotting away out of our sight.
I turned looking at Zyon who nervously looked at me still shivering, "Uh Zyon, you alright?" a grin made it on his face his angel blue eyes sparkling in joy and wonder pupils like a cat on catnip, I slowly took a safe step away from the nightfury. Just to be careful.
"Ki-Smaug do you know what this means?" his tail was wagging madly as he grinned, cautious I took another step back as he got close to my face. "no..what?" Asking cautiously my talons extending sharp like a cats ready to attack in case he was going to try something. Just because he was formerly human doesn't mean I trusted him.
"We're in Equestria!" cue the fanboy squeal from Zyon, I reeled back in utter surprise and slammed my claw wing hand thingys over my frilled ears at the squeal, "Stop! My ears!" I didn't even know it was possible for a guy to make such a high pitched noise, unless it was that Toby kid from back in highschool.
He thankfully ended his fanguying apologising before continuing to wag his tail like an excited puppy, an excited puppy that was bigger than me with sharp teeth. Ok I won't lie its cute but terrifying to see at grinning dragon above you.
"What was that Zyon?! You trying to break my invisible ears?" growling in annoyance trying to hide my growing fear.
"Sorry sorry! Its just that horse was talking, looks like a cartoon and was exactly like the ponies in Mlp!" I gave him a questioning look, "No its not just a little girls show its Really interesting and awesome to watch" he looked like he was hoping I wasn't against his 'kind'.
"Whatever floats you boat Zyon, I won't diss a guy who watches pony shows" It was true I really didn't mind Mlp Bronies, but some of them went way too far with ponies, Zyon was just a happy innocent little brony which was ok.
My frills perked up as well as Zyon's as we heard the distinct sound of a horses hooves clicking against the marble floor. We waited for the sounds to get closer as the horse filly came back with a rope, good idea little horse.
The rope was dropped in, the other end held up by the unnamed horse. I walked over to the rope before stopping slightly, a deep trench was keeping me from climbing safely to the rope, breathing in then out I readied myself before leaping off towards the rope with my back legs, spreading my wings in a glide as my tail straightened, my taloned fingers went ahead first as I clutched onto the rope before my back legs joined onto the rope, using my body like a climbing bat, I easily made my way up with very little trouble, lifting myself up onto the marble floor my back legs scrabbled up finally on the tiled marble flooring, solid ground at last!
I nodded to the fancy horse filly before looking down to Zyon, "What are you waiting for? Come on up!" I encouraged the nervous nightfury. Zyon visibly gulped and readied himself before sprinting across the gold and leaping like a cat, he started falling into the deep abyss, "Zyon!" I couldn't help but shout in shock, fear and worry for the dragon.
A faint beating sound could be heard, flapping? Was he using his wings somehow? She He just wanted for Zyon to be alright- and there out of the darkness was Zyon his paws covering his face, and his wings somehow let him gain altitude... Did he even know he was flying?
The filly grabbed the rope rolling it back up as Zyon made way unknowingly back up, the filly stretched her front legs up and grabbed Zyon who meeped in surprise, releasing his paws from his face as she pulled him back away from the golden pit, the shiny golden pit, full of gold-- I shook my head quickly dispatching myself away from the unmatched golden greed of Smaug.
Zyon looked around as the filly placed him down onto the floor, he looked up at her tilting his head sideways "How'd I get up here?" he asked confused. She gave him a deadpan look "you used magic" Woah, sarcasm nice.
Zyon lifted his forepaws looking astonished his eyes glittering in amazement.. He actually fell for that, he must be a good actor or just plain oblivious. "No way, magic?"
I looked at the horse, she looked at me and between us we shared a deadpan look of 'really?'.
Zyon flailed his arms around in what might of been an attempt of using magic powers, the horse sighed "Night Dragon that was sarcasm, you just flew up here" his pupils narrowed and he pouted mumbling something along the lines of "can't believe I fell for that".
I took that moment to look at the horse and question, "Excuse me for asking but what is your name?" she was quick to reply puffing out her chest attempting to look regal.
"I am Princess Jasmine Rose second princess of Saddle Arabia, what are your names?" A princess? Zyon spoke first, "your majesty, I am the awesome Zyon the Nightfury!" he spread his wing to emphasize his awesomeness, this guy was definitely Bipolar I mean seriously he was plummeting to his possible second death a minute ago, now his happy and awesome? Bipolar.
They turned to me expectant well they look like they want something interesting and funny so, "I am Fire, I am Death, I am Smaug!" I raised my wings raising onto my back legs as I did so attempting to look big and awe inspiring. They snickered in amusement, was it funny? I'm not the funny type so I don't know, was it somewhat amusing for my small size? Heck if know.
"Ok that was interesting, so Zyon and Smog-" "Smaug, Sm-au-g not Smog" I corrected.
"my apologies, Zyon and Smaug, come with me, when the army gets back they might capture you and bring you to the dungeons" straight to the point good, "army?" Zyon questioned, "Quiet for now Zyon I'm sure Princess Jasmine Rose will tell us in a more secure spot." I interrupted the Nightfury, they were quick to nod accepting.
"please call me Jasmine, and follow me" she turned away to the open door the rope nested on her back in the proper way to pack one.. When did she do that?
Zyon padded behind her and I cursed my smaller legs and its obviously apparent I suited to flight more due to my wingspan, but I didn't complain only kept up in a steady pace as we exited the Treasury leaving behind the gold, it wouldn't go anywhere it was a Royal Treasury and it definitely wasn't mine.
The door led to another circular tower a staircase spiraling downwards a large open space in the middle, it was quite hard with the stairs and being small as I was was impossibly hard, jumping down carefully down each step, Jasmine trotting far ahead of us, Zyon having decided to skip 4 steps at a time gliding a bit, wait I have wings and I did have a few dreams in my childhood where I used my arms as wings and could fly, I will always treasure my T-Rex teacher for teaching me to fly and not get eaten in my dreams. Yeah weird dreams.
I stretched out my wings and leapt flapping them to get some lift tucking in my back legs and straightened my neck turning circling down the stairs, Zyon then seemed to have decided to follow me and flapped after me his flying a bit more wonky than my own, it was easy when you didn't have 6 limbs.
We soon had to stop and climbed onto Jasmines back pretend to be plush dolls as we walked the halls to her chambers, maids walking by commenting "cute",
Finally we made it to the chambers with very little incident the only possible danger having been a guard who commented how life-like they looked, Jasmine's bedroom or chambers was quite grand yet simple, resembling something a bit more medieval.
A fireplace could be seen no fire was present carved beautifully into marble, a small window in a corner, a double bed with a chest at the end below a interesting dome ceiling, to the beds left was a glass paned door with a balcony outside, a walk in wardrobe to the entrance doors left, next to the bed near the balcony door was a small desk, a pile of pillows and blankets close to the wardrobe in one corner of the room a stack of books nearby with a small bookshelf next to the wardrobe.
Zyon leapt off her back as she shut the door, his claws clicking on the neatly tiled floor as he looked around in fascination and wonder, I gently got off Jasmines back giving a small thank you at her assistance, my eyes widened at the room it was magnificent.
Jasmine placed her rope on her desk before setting herself down on a large pillow in the pillow pile, she motioned for us to sit down on another pillow, Zyon was quick to dive into the pillows his head the only thing visible as he looked up at Jasmine smiling sheepish at his pillow dive. I trotted over and sat atop a pillow laying down similar to a cat my long tail curled around me.
Unknowingly throwing ourselves into an event that would change the world forever, tales would be told and songs would be sung throughout history in the event we would star in.
