Chapter 1: Preparations
Things in Canterlot have gone back to normal after the changling attack so Twilight and her friends have returned home. After a week of helping repair and defend the city they were happy to final relax, however fate has other plans.
"Spike go see who's at the door. Spike. Spike! I wonder where he is." Twilight tried to figure out where Spike was while she went to open the door. When she opened it outside was a dragon.
"Hello I was told that there was a dragon living here, I need to speak with him right away." Said the dragon
"I'm sorry but he's not here… never mind that's him down the road," replied Twilight who was still in shock that a dragon was in Ponyville. The dragon then approached Spike.
"Hello young dragon I'm spreading the word that a new dragon has claimed to be the king of dragons. All dragons are to return to our home land in order to test his claim and prove if he is indeed worthy to be the king. I must go and tell more dragons," with that the dragon took to the sky and started to leave Ponyville while shouting back at spike, "the dragon's name is…"
"…Alduin, alive, impossible." The Dovahkiin said to Paarthurnax.
"Not impossible Dovahkiin, you did not absorb his soul when you defeated him. After learning this I had the greybeards search every book at their disposal. They found there is more to the prophecy about the return of the dragons. It says that the dragon king will be defeated and flee to the west and he will return with an army unless you stop him."
The Dovahkiin looked at Paarthournax in utter disbelief. "It's been over a month since I defeated him in Sovngarde. Why would he wait so long before returning for his revenge?"
"Because Dovahkiin he is another land far beyond these lands. A land that is also populated by dragons, he will try to raise an army there and bring it here to defeat you and then take over this land."
With a sad look the Dovahkiin said "Fine I will go to the land that the prophecy speaks of, I will bring whatever soldiers General Tullius can spare and kill him once and for all. I thought I was done with this, now I have to go on another quest that can claim my life before I even reach Alduin."
Later that night Twilight had the worst nightmare of her life. She saw dragons laying waste to Ponyville, ponies running for their lives. Nopony was safe from the dragons. When the town was nothing but ashes a menacing black dragon stood on the ashes while the others chanted "long live Alduin." She would have the same dream twice before telling anypony about it.
Three days later at the Solitude docks the Dovahkiin was standing next to General Tullius watching seven hundred soldiers load and board the five ships that would sail west to fight Alduin.
Tullius was the first to speak "Dovahkiin I hope this goes well I do not want all my men dead at the end of your quest."
"Don't worry general, but after all the time we spent together after Alduin's defeat hunting down the remains of the stormcloaks, you can call me by my real name."
"Sorry Daniel (I will be using his name from now on). I just thought you wouldn't want your real name to be public knowledge. After all you are a hero."
"I won't be a hero until I'm sure Alduin is dead," Dan replied coldly.
"Dan the ships and men are ready, I guess this is good buy for now, I look forward to your return." With that Tullius left the docks and headed back inside the city. 'Alduin you will not survive our next encounter' thought Dan.
