After having taken Fluttershy back to their headquarters, the Isle Defenders put her in a bed to rest. While she was doing this, Alice turned to another one of her compatriots, a man in a wheelchair who was currently scanning her, and nodded lightly. "Have you figured out who she is yet?"
"Girl, I cannot believe ya managed ta carry a horse into the tower. But yeah. I know who she is." The man wheeled himself next to her and touched her mane gently. "Her name's Fluttershy. She's a pegasus pony from Equestria and one of six that form a powerful weapon, powerful in the sense of their world that is, known as the Elements of Harmony."
"Elements of Harmony?"
"The Elements of Harmony work by unifying their different respective traits. Their inner power is then amplified by the bonds they've formed with each other. In other words, they literally use their friendship as a weapon."
Alice facepalmed. "How utterly sappy."
"Come on, homegirl. We do the same thing, right?"
"But not in such a ridiculous manner. Anyway, did you scan the other issue we had?"
"Already figured out. It appears as though Fluttershy here was hit with a dimensional flux."
"A dimensional flux? Explain, Tech."
The man, Tech, pointed to Roland. "Girl got hit by something from his world. Scanners say she's now the Dovahkiin."
Roland nodded sagely. "So it is true. Then that means that Skyrim is in trouble. And this yellow pony is the only one who can save it."
"I dunno how ya gonna get her to go though. Fluttershy's element is kindness. She don't often like ta fight."
"And yet fight she must?" Alice sighed. "What kind of foolishness is this? Anyway... Tech, you stay here and fill her in on what's going on when she wakes up. Roland and I will get back to work."
"As you wish, m'lady." Roland followed Alice as she walked out.
"Sure thing homegirl. I ain't goin' nowhere." Tech then just sat there, waiting for Fluttershy to wake up.

Fluttershy began to toss and turn lightly in her bed. After an hour or so, she woke up again. Her eyes opened slowly, as she looked around. Unfamiliar with her surroundings, she sat up to look around, keeping the blankets covering herself.
She was separated from her friends for the second time, and she felt awful about it once again. She never should have wandered off by herself.
"Where am I...?" she softly asked, her gaze settling on Tech.

"Easy there girl." The minute that her gaze fell on Tech, the knowledgeable man knew she was most likely shy away. "You're in safe hands now. Name's Tech. We found ya passed out next ta some dragon bones. Better ta get ya somewhere safe then leave ya in the forest where anythin' bad could happen, right? Anyways... you're in the hospital wing of the Isle Defenders HQ. There's just some questions I wanna ask ya before we go anywhere though. Is that alright?" If Fluttershy looked Tech over, she would notice something missing, mainly both his legs. Despite this, the man appeared to be unpertubed and was also pretty upbeat.

The pegasus looked him over, her eyes traveling from his head on down, and stopping when she saw his legs, or lack thereof. She cringed a bit, but seeing that he didn't let it bother him, she relaxed a little. Still, she made up her mind to do something nice for him later for that. At the very least he was one of the people she'd been found by, though she didn't know he was not there.
"Um... I guess... I mean, I have a lot of questions of my own, but it's probably best if... you ask first..." Among Fluttershy's list of questions were what exactly happened in the field, why the dragon attacked, why it burned away, and just what in Equestria was happening??
She shook her head and waited for Tech's questions.

Tech did not expect the pony to have questions, but seeing as she let him go first, he decided he'd do so. With his luck, they had the same train of thought at least. "So... for starters, baby girl, what's your name?" He knew it already, but it would do better for her to tell him so that he could know it with her knowledge as opposed to coming off as a creeper. Even if she was a horse, shy girls always had that sort of innate danger sense. And he didn't want to keep calling her by nicknames, it seemed sorta odd to do so.

"My name?" She blinked. It was an appropriate question at least. "Well... my name's Fluttershy..." She blushed slightly. He was a nice guy, at least. Somehow she felt all right around him. "What's yours?"

Well he had already given his name, but he decided she probably didn't hear it correctly considering she had just woken up. Besides, he didn't give his proper name. She ought to get that much since she was picked up out of the woods. "Name's George Pattinson. But considerin' what I do 'round here, the crew just calls me Tech." With introductions out of the way, he decided to continue. "Fluttershy, we found you right next to a pile of dragon bones. Scans indicated that the flesh had seemed to disintegrate. Our resident Crusader, who you may meet once we get ya out of this bed, seems to think that you're a sort of prophecized hero. Tell me... have you ever heard of the Dovahkiin?"

"Tech..." She listened as he explained, but it quickly began to make no sense. She saw the dragon's flesh disintegrate, and the dragon bones made sense, but prophecized hero? Crusader? What was he talking about?
"Dovahkiin...?" She thought hard, rubbing her hoof on her chin. The word itself seemed familiar... but from where? It was on the edge of her mind, much like the vague, quiet ramblings in the strange language--
"Oh... I... kind of have..." That was one of the words the voices used. She did not know it's meaning, however, like almost all of the other words. She only knew the one. And even she was not sure how she had learned it. It had seemed to spontaneously become clear to her out of nowhere, as though the dragon's knowledge itself had entered her.
"What is a Dovahkiin...?"

Tech thought about Fluttershy's question. He remembered what Roland said before, but he also knew Roland would know how to better answer it. "I would suggest askin' Roland about it. Like I said, I'll introduce ya to him when we get outta here, ok? Anyway..." In an attempt to switch the topics, he decided he'd let her get her stuff out of the way quickly. "So ya said you had questions for me as well... anythin' other then what a Dovahkiin is ya need to know?"

She looked away. Truthfully that was what she wanted to know. But she decided to just ask.
"Well... if it isn't too much trouble... Where did that dragon cme from...? And why did it just... go away when it fell over? Did it die? What happened to me after that? Where are we, and where are my friends? Are they okay??" She quickly covered her mouth. "S-sorry, I got a little carried away..."
She tried to crawl out of the bed, standing up on the ground beside Tech's chair, stretching out her wings. They'd been folded by her sides for a while now and needed some air.

Tech felt a little helpless there. He couldn't really answer all of that, but he at least could answer the first question. "The dragon came from a land named Tamriel. Again... Roland. He knows a lot more about this shit then I do. He's native to the land. And yes, the dragon died. As for the other questions, I cannot answer them. I don't really know. Sorry."

Fluttershy nodded. Not much else they could do until they saw this Roland again. She looked down to Tech's legs once more, and felt saddened again. "What... um... happened? If I may ask..." she said, gesturing to his lower body. She wanted to know so she could offer comfort if it was needed.

Tech heard her question and looked down, then chuckled hard. "Oh this?! Pffft... don't even worry about this, baby girl. They just had ta be cut off after they were crushed under some debris. Sounds kinda bad considerin' where ya come from, I know, but I've gotten way past the shock and depression. Life is too good right now for me ta be upset."

Seeing his upbeat attitude, Fluttershy smiled. "Good," she said, nodding. "Um... if you want, later... maybe I could... fly you around a bit? I mean, if you want... you don't have to..." She flapped her wings a bit. Was that insulting? Oh, she hoped not. Or maybe offering too much? Or too little... Oh...

Tech broke out into laughter. He couldn't help it. She was just too precious worrying about him like this. "Don't worry about it. That's what the wheelchair's for, Shy. It's all good. Anyway... anymore questions before we get out of here and get you acquainted with the place?"
