Tale of Two Dovah
Drake and Sito had never considered themselves in anyways special, sides the nerdiness of playing Skyrim in an almost obsessive fashion… until they are sucked into the game like a bad fanfic. However, unlike most other fanfics, they are sent in with different forms! PS. Read'n'Review!
Prologue
Drake Michigan frowned from his chair as he fought Alduin for the fifth time in his time of owning Skyrim, he had gone through all the other quest lines, become thane of every hold and amassed riches simply because he could, and now he was watching Alduin turn to sweet, sweet dragon glitter.
And as the writhing black dragon turned to sparkles. He grabbed a can of his pepsi, sipped it and frowned when he discovered it was empty. "Why is the pepsi always gone?" he muttered in true Pirates of Caribbean style before focusing on Tsun while the guardian of Sovngarde spoke.
His attention was turned back to his door when it opened and in strolled his girlfriend, Sito Anderson, looking like the walking dead. "Morning, love!" he greeted with a grin as he held his arms open to her.
She rolled her eyes and moved over to him, giving him a hug and grumbling, "Bleeeh." she was still soo tired and had the munchies. Bad combo for her in the morning.
He smiled a bit wider. They had been together for several months now and he always found her morning habits of dead walking cute and that her usual dreadful laziness was contagious. "Aww, still sleepy?" he cooed.
"I'm always sleepy," she replied lightly and walked over to his bed and falling forward onto it, immediately snuggling his pillows and blanket.
Drake laughed a bit, "I know, just being annoying," he paused and turned back to the screen. It was pitch black, "Oh come on! It froze!" he gave a frustrated growl and moved to turn his 360 off.
Then, there was a bright flash of light and he let out a cry as his flesh burned a moment before darkness took him.
Skyrim world!
There was the gentle brush of a breeze on his skin, the feeling of grass beneath him and the sounds of birds chirping their morning songs in the distance. These sounds are what further stirred Drake into consciousness, he sniffed lightly and blinked when he thought he smelt nature itself. It was odd, he never knew his nose was that sensitive. He opened his eyes and fully took in what he saw.
It was beautiful! Lush green trees and grass, healthy brown bark and scattered rocks around the paradise-like scene before his eyes. But, he remember the TV, his burning pain and his room. He was fine now, was he in Heaven? He attempted to roll over, but blinked when his mind fully registered how he felt… he felt bigger, heavier and yet lighter. He gulped and raised his hand, only to be greeted by the sight of a blackened talon at the head of a leathery wing.
He bellowed out a cry of surprise and fear as he scrambled to stand, he stepped on something of his and cried out again when it caused him a spike of pain. He fell over with a loud thud and huffed once, the sound unnaturally fierce to his own ears. He placed both his talons onto the ground and forced his legs to cease their shaking.
Drake took a breathe, another, deep, rumbling noises and finally, he exhaled once more and raised his arms again, both spiked by talons and scales black as his hair had been, he craned his neck and looked down, his under belly was a golden brown, lined with smaller, softer scales. His feet also had sharp talons, curved and razor sharp. His legs however looked as powerful as they once did, muscles rippled beneath the scales and he gave an experimental hop, they were strong alright.
He noticed his tail, it was long and tipped by a tridant like bone, it oddly reminded him of a Stegosaurus tail tip. He nodded to himself and took a few experimental swings to try and get used to the added appendage. After what felt like… actually, he didn't feel time.
Oh sweet merciful Jesus he had lost his sense of time! This was great! No more boredom! He almost grinned, almost. But a soft rumble found his ears, or whatever passed for dragon ears. He huffed and felt fear course through him, if it was another dragon he would be in trouble. He forced himself to turn and look for the source of the sound.
He found it in the form of another dragon a few ways away from him, laying also in the grass. Curled up slightly in the sun. It's scales were golden with splotches of brown across them, a pale underbelly and the spine of the dragon was lined with rough small bone spikes. Drake took a breath and moved over to the other, it couldn't… it just couldn't.
The scales matched her hair, and her belly was almost the tone of her skin. This dragon had to be Sito, he growled and in his current state it was all the more menacing. With another huff he stalked over and paused, unsure how to go about this, he couldn't exactly poke her with his talons could he? He might pierce her scales and injure her. He frowned, or tried to. He couldn't tell if he was.
After a moment of thinking he leaned down with his slender neck and nudged the side of her neck with his snout. He waited, she stirred but didn't wake. He repeated the process with more force, that did the job as her head lifted a few inches from the ground. Her lids opened to reveal the startling blue slitted eyes, matching his girlfriend's color perfectly.
"Sito!" Drake rumbled and spread his arms in an attempt to hug her.
Her reaction was instantaneous, she let out a roar of a scream before she kicked furiously at the dirt and him, one of her wings talons slashed across his belly, tearing scales and flesh and causing him to double over in pain, trying to clutch at the wound.
She screamed again as she her arm was pointed with a talon.
Sito was freaking out, she was freaking the hell out. She stared at her "hands" and foud only golden scaled dragon talon and wings, her breathing came out in erratic gasps as if she were hyperventilating and she tried to sit, only to hurt something behind her and cause her to rolled onto her side. She looked around far harder she needed and saw her leaf shaped tail point swishing back and forth.
She screamed again and looked to the growling black dragon that had woke her. "Get away from me!" she scrambled to her feet and hands and crawled away as fast as her new body could move on land. Which very fast as it was motre very clumsy.
Sito glanced over her shoulder, the black dragon reminded her a lot of the Frost Dragons of Skyrim, though obviously black and the back of it appeared less spiky. She ignored how she thought of Skyrim and more on the fact she was a dragon running from another dragon. She tried to double her pace…only to trip over her own wing and fall head first into the grassland with a grunt of displeasure and pain.
"Damned wing…" she grumbled.
"Sito! It's me! Don't run or you might hurt yourself!" The black dragon bellowed as it too gave chase on all fours, though it wasn't having as much trouble as her. Cursing her own clumsiness she tried to keep moving with renewed fear.
And, if anyone were nearby, they would have had the joy and awing experience of seeing two dragons running across the grasslands on all fours, the one up front almost stumbling like a drunken beast while the second steadily gaining ground.
"No!" Sito fell forward, exhausted. She hit the ground and took in deep, powerful breaths. "Damn it I'm slow as a dragon too!"
The black dragon huffed and caught up to her, she stood and faced it, trying to look menacing. "Leave me alone or I'll bite you and shit!" she growled, flashing her sharp and pearly white teeth.
The black dragon stopped short and stared at her, its head tilting. "Sito, it's me! Drake!" it spoke, she listened carefully and frowned. Its voice, while sounding like that of a normal dragon's, did have a hint of Drake in it, just deeper and more gravely. Now that she looked at him, she could see how it would be. His scales matched his hair color, his eyes were a slitted brown and his underbelly was the same color as his skin had been.
"Drake!" Sito cried and moved over, tackling the other to the ground which resulted in them being tangled in a scaly heap on the ground, her chest was pressed against his own and her dragonic cheek was nuzzling the side of his neck. Her wings trying to wrap around his form, only to be stopped by their wings which forbid them from wrapping around the other.
This continued several moments until finally, Sito looked up at her boyfriend turned black dragon. He was looking down at her oddly, "What?" she asked, ignoring how harsh her tone and voice sounded now, it was almost male! She almost shuddered.
"Well… sides the fact we're two dragons trying to hug, this is really uncomfortable… my tail is kinda being bent oddly," He shifted slightly under her, it was then she realised something.
"You're smaller than me!" She got off of him and stared at his slender body, he was still muscled, especially at the legs and his neck was long, he seemed to scream speedy build. But that wasn't important, "Hah! I'm bigger than you!" she snickered, which in her dragon form made it sound like a series of violent hacks.
Drake huffed once and got onto all fours, he was shorter than her. He could tell that much, and she was definitely more meaty than he, her neck was thick as was her body, she was an ancient dragon in body with slightly variations. He huffed lowly and muttered, "Yeah, yeah…" he swished his tail across the dirt lightly. "Now, we have to decide what to do now…"
Sito blinked, her slitted blue eyes shined a moment before she nodded, her head moving up and down rabidly along her powerful neck. "Yes! Uh… where are we?"
"Skyrim, if that is any guess…" Drake nodded behind her.
Sito turned and stared out at the large mountain in the distance, it was massive… and clouds lined near the top, the snowy tip and the jagged cliff falls all looked familiar to her. She stared a moment longer before realising what that mountain was. "That is…" she gulped. "The throat of the world!"
"Yeah," Drake muttered as he moved to her side. His brown eyes narrowed at the large mountain top. The great mountain of Skyrim where the point touches the sky itself. "And that is where we need to go," he added in a more serious tone.
"What?" Sito turned to him confusedly tilting her head. "But why?"
"Paarthurnax, he's the only none hostile dragon I can think of that will even half believe our crazy story, or at least listen…" he paused, "Plus it's the closest place that we can be safe, only things up there are trolls and the Greybeards. Since we're dragons… we won't draw as much attention up there until we figure out this…" he searched for the right word. "Situation."
"I suppose that's a good idea…" Sito mumbled, sounding unconvinced as she looked at the grass, she dug her talons into the dirt and scooped some up with her feet before dropping the clumps. "We going to fly there?" she turned back to him.
Drake gave a thoughtful rumble, debating the idea. They probably could fly, they were dragons after all and he felt strong enough to flap his wings strongly. He huffed once more, "We walk for now, but another important matter for us to figure out is…" he turned to her. "What are our names going to be? We can't very well blend with the dragon population if we come across any of Alduin's followers. Assuming this is during the World Eaters time."
"Sapphira!" Sito cried joyously.
"…" Drake stared blankly at her. "Two things, you're not blue. And second, unless you can split that into three words of the dragon language, it won't work." he paused, thinking.
"Why do we need dragon names? We might not even run into dragons." Sito pouted.
"I'd rather be safe than sorry! Especially since we are dragons," Drake grumbled and then "ahh'd" to himself. "My name shall be!-"
A roar sounded off in the distance. A very familiar roar, one that every Skyrim player was treated to every new character they made.
It was the sound of Alduin sacking Helgen.
Well, there it is. My trial self-insert fic step into Skyrim! But with a twist! Now, if you kind readers would be sooooo kind as to leave a review, i'd appreciate it
