Legendary Rising's

What if the Dragonborn came to the world of RWBY, in a time after the great quest of Ruby Rose and her companions. Today we answer that question with my Dragonborn; Arian Daemon, Voice-Wielder, Destroyer of Thalmor, and Warrior-God of Skyrim. And she is not the only one to have traveled into this new and alien world…

Dragonfall Castle, Skyrim

"You sure this is a wise idea, my Thane?" Lydia meekly asked Arian, who was attempting a new portal technique she created.

"Yes, I'm sure, but just think about it. The ability to effortlessly cross the planes of existence with ease, all because of a few new fancy enchantments and a new spell." Arian grinned madly as she finished setting up the black soul-gems, she hated using them, but she cannot argue the fact that the power was needed.

Looking at Lydia with the widest grin, Arian began the spell sequence. First she created a small portal into a pocket-plane of oblivion to act as a crossroad. Then she used the power of the gems which were filled with the souls of 3 of the most powerful conjurers in Nirn to tear open a road to her destination to the realms of Hermaeus Mora, who willingly allowed this act for the sake of adding this new piece of knowledge into his collection. Finally, she used the force of the Thu'um to make the planes of Oblivion bend to her will, solidifying the road into its fabrics. Giving a cocky grin to Lydia, Arian walked through the portal which violently shut when she entered.

Panic quickly swept through Lydia, running over to the magic crystal in the lab she sent a frantic message to Arian's most powerful friends in the fields of magic. "What has she done…" was all she could mutter as she watched the tear in the fabric of reality heal itself shut.

Unknown Forest in an Unknown world

"Hey Mora, how's it… well this isn't the planes of Apocrypha." Arian spoke out loud as she looked around the snow-covered forest. Giving an anguished and very over-dramatic groan, she tried to use the new spell to create the exit rift. The fabric flickered a bit before failing to alter. "Oh… great…" Was all Arian could get out before she put her first straight through the nearest tree, anger ran through her as she began to pummel the tree into scraps.

Boiling in her rage Arian shouted towards the sky, the voice of her Thu'um echoing throughout the forest and likely all of wherever she was.

Taking long deep breathes she began to gather her mind, "Don't succumb to your rage Arian… its not what Mirai would want… take a breath… think…" She told herself as she began to take in her surroundings.

She was in a forest and judging by the lack of life, it was in a place of eternal cold. She checked herself over, her armor was still good, and her weapons were still holstered in their sheaths. The magic satchel she always carried was still attached to her hip and the magic appeared to not have vanished when she traveled. Overall it could be a lot worse, she still had her supplies and the sky was still full of… "What in the name of oblivion!" Arian shouted as she gawked at the full shattered moon. "Not good, not good. If that causes issues with my beast I'm going to be in trouble!"

She pulled out her magic map and found it had altered into a new continent, or rather continents. "And judging by the map I'm completely out of my element, figures." Arian gave a sad sigh she looked towards the stars, there were fewer then back home and dotted more sparsely in the sky. Looking at the map once again she took note of 4 capitals being marked on the map followed by a smaller one on an island, not good but at least she had a way to guide herself civilization. Pointing herself towards the nearest capital which read 'Atlas', she began her long and enduring trek through the snowy wastes.

She got far without combat, that was until a giant snow-white bird swooped down towards Arian. Walking in a large empty plane of snow Arian was prey for the large predator, she was all too familiar with this kind of combat and her senses were already fine-tuned too any sign of attack from above. Quickly rolling away as the bird strafed the ground with its giant claws she took a good look at the beast. The bird was as big as Dragonsreach and its claws could tear the roof off the hall of the Companions with ease. Just the way Arian liked her foes.

"I can get use to this!" Arian shouted in triumph as she channeled the Lightning Storm spell, the Bird noticed the impending attack and attempted another dive-bomb. Laughing-madly with the raw mana flowing through her, Arian shot out the large beam of electric chaos towards the diving beast, hitting it square in the right wing and tearing it off with the sheer magical force. The bird screeched in pain as its descent fluttered out of control, landing face-first into the tree-line behind Arian.

Arian ran towards her foe preparing to finish it off with her blade, but when she arrived it was slowly turning into black ash which fluttered into the wind. "Well that's disappointing, not even a trophy to take." Arian turned around and began the journey once again, this time completely unhindered until she reached her destination.

Atlas, Unknown Continent

Arian stood proud as she approached the floating city, it had towers that touched the sky with their grand height and a mine down below with workers mining a weird crystal-like substance. Approaching what appeared to be a checkpoint for travelers, she noticed the distinct lack of a teleporting node to get to the city.

A balding man in a weird uniform stood in the booth and an even weirder weapon on the back wall.

Approaching with confidence Arian asked the guard the much-needed information. "Excuse me Sir, but I'm a bit in the unknown of your city. Can you show me to the nearest library or ruler?" Arian asked the man who gave her a confused look.

"Your joking right?" The man asked which Arian could only shake her head no in reply. "Well you stand in the Kingdom of Atlas and the city before you is the capital Atlas. As for a speaking to a Ruler we do have a council but personally I recommend you go to General Ironwood of Atlas Academy, not only is he a good man but he isn't going to cheat you out of your life." The man continued.

"Thank you, what is the entry fee to enter Atlas?" Arian asked the man who proceeded to hand her a piece of paper on a wooden slab, various things were written signifying various agreements to allow a traveler into the city. "What is Lien?"

"… It's the international currency of Remnant, how do you seriously not know this? Know what forget I asked, If you have other things of high-value we could get on an agreement about the entry fee." The man replied.

Smirking Arian pulled out 25 septims from her satchel. "Does this suffice?" She asked as the man inspected the coins, grunting in reply he opened the gate for her enter. Thanking the guard Arian began looked around for the way up, her eyes resting on one of the great ropes which appeared to have people entering and leaving through it. Walking towards the rope she found it was of course hollow and strange moving stairs lined the bottom of the shell. Taking a deep breath, Arian walked onto the first step and watched as it moved her upwards towards the city rather quickly. Whatever weird magic made this work she would find out later, she patiently waited for the stairs to reach the top.

She took note of all the weird looks people were giving her, possibly the fact that she was wearing a full set of Daedric Lord armor which looked quite menacing. Taking a closer look at some of the fellow riders she noticed the distinct animal appendages on their character, possibly a race similar to that of Khajiit and Argonians but much more subtle and varied in appearance. Taking note of the approaching exit she stepped off the weird stairs and took in the grand view in front of her. Thousands of people walked up and down the streets while larger inner-streets let what looked like self-driving metal carriages up and down its designated lanes. Many people wore weird clothes, many wore some sort of fancy apparel while others walked in what she could assume more common clothing, some barely wore anything at all!

Walking towards a large tablet people were gathered around she took note of the map that was inscribed in its flickering blue face, likely some sort of magic she took note of the directions and let her map update. Pulling out her map she turned it into a street view and watched as the ink warped into the interior of the great city with all the markings of the notable locations.

Heading in the direction of Atlas Academy she began to sift her way through the crowds as she took note of the many failed attempts to pick-pocket her, her enchantments causing the people who tried to have a nasty shock. Most moved quickly out of her way, was she really that different to people here?

Passing through a wealthy section she took note of all the high-class buildings and individuals, sneering in disgust as she kept moving towards the Academy completely unhindered, well that was until she entered a poor district of the city. She stopped in her tracks as she gapped at all the homeless and broken-down buildings, it was completely unacceptable for such a great city to have this kind of poverty. Detouring she started the long journey that was required the fix the problems of the people.

She took note of the looks of fear she received; it was that same look she gave warriors as they passed through when she was homeless and weak. Arian was taken out of her thoughts as she heard a feminine scream come from a nearby alley, taking her pace from a walk to a sprint she quickly reached the alley and prepared for combat. Three rich-kids stood over a beaten girl with some animal features, specifically a pair of dragon-like horns on top of her head.

"So, this is how the powerful treat the weak here, good to know…" Arian taunted at the wealthy snobs, who turned and began to rethink their choices as a woman wearing full heavy armor slowly approached them, her greatsword dragging behind her as the blade sparked against the asphalt. "Normally I would just beat you fools up and leave you to the hounds, but today I'm feeling less merciful. I will make sure your parents get your ashes in jars for burial."

The snobs grew a pair and began an attack on Arian, one of them made one strike against her armor. Now having the law at her side, she began her assault on the fools. Taking the larger one by the throat with one hand, she threw him effortlessly across the alley and into the wall. She grinned in glee as she heard the man's bones break on the impact. She quickly dodged a mad swipe from the second and swung her greatsword, landing a hit straight in his gut. He was thrown into the third and they both were flung into the weird green box full of garbage, sheathing her blade she let out a cruel laugh. "You three weren't even worth the effort of bloodshed, typical of the wealthy and uncaring." She mocked as she took a look at the girl.

She was unconscious but alive, her little chest moving up and down in shallow and uneasy breathes. Walking over to the girl, Arian took her in her arms and walked out of the alley. Arian didn't know of any healers to help the girl, but the safest bet for help would be the Academy. Deciding to take a route that what was out of the way of the public, Arian made her way to the Academy. She looked over the girl, she was quite cute and around her age. She had pale green eyes and several scratches and bruises from the attack, but she still kept her cuteness and beauty. "Dammit Arian, you already have Mirai in your life. Don't back out on her just because of a simple portal mishap, just find a way home and put this behind you." Arian scolded herself in her mind as she walked towards the Academy's gates.

A Guard approached Arian as she stopped in front of the gates. "State your name, business, and intentions, Ma'am." He asked her as she gave the man a stern glare, causing the man to buckle a bit.

"Arian Daemon, I seek audience with General Ironwood. This girl is need of the attention of a healer and I'm not a very patient woman, and my patience has been running quite thin today. Please make the right choice and let me in, I should be out of your hair in less than a day." Arian replied, keeping her stern glare straight into the visor of the guard who buckled a bit further.

The guard stood there for a bit before speaking into a grey brick, and after a little while the gate opened. Thanking the guard, Arian made her way into the Academy. Several students in uniforms walked through the courtyard, many stopped and looked or glared at Arian. "More rich-kids, great… this city is an absolute shit-hole if I ever saw it then." Arian thought to herself as she was greeted with a man wearing all white, whom of which was flanked by two people carrying a stretcher. Placing the girl in the stretcher she watched as the they healers sped off towards the infirmary.

"You wanted to seek an audience?" The General asked Arian, taking a deep breath she began the negotiations.

"Yes, I did, I believe its best we talk about it in a more… private area." Arian replied. The General nodded in reply and lead Arian through the winding halls of the great Academy, "This is going to be a long conversation." She thought to herself as they entered the Generals office, bookcases stood around and piles of paperwork stood on his desk.

"So, what is it that you have to say?" The General asked with one of the best game faces Arian had ever saw. Taking a deep breath Arian began to the simpler answer before the more complicated one.

"I'm, not from your world…"
