Detroit, Michigan

Looking at CNN watching reports of multiple disasters caused by fictional characters were popping up. The obviously noteworthy one and slightly humorous was Godzilla wrecking Japan for absolutely no apparent reason. The amount of property destruction and lives lost ceased to prevent a tiny smirk creep up on my face no matter how much I didn't want it to. "2012 is going to be one of hell of a year." I told myself as I moved towards turning on my Xbox 360. By early 2011 I mostly shrugged at anything really bad happening from here until late 2012 that could cause any sort of apocalypse. It was insane to say the least. Hell most so called 'prophecies' for 2012 being the end of days were modern ones and I simply assumed the Mayan calendar just ran out of room so they couldn't go past 2012.

Now after a very interesting year 2012 has shown us things will get even more insane. I already got on xbox live and put in Modern Warfare 3 wanting to play something to get my mind off these events for now. I was rather sure there would be time to freak out about our world likely getting eventually destroyed but right now I just searched for my friend's gamer tag. Get a little party together and start kicking ass online. I got a few weeks free time before I get into a semester of College and start this volunteer job.

I seriously doubted anything exciting was going to happen to me in the next few weeks.

Tampa bay, Florida

A large scar in the sky appeared over Tampa. Lightening arced out of it as it grew larger and showing nothing but darkness inside. In it a large figure shot out of it and plummeted downtown going through a small building and out the other side into the street. Miraculously no one was killed in the street other than some injuries due to debris. A large amount of smoke surrounded the thing that was shot out of that portal. When it dissipated and the area was visible some people were going towards the location while others were attempting to leave the area and move away from the crash site.

"What the hell is that thing?" One of civillians asked when the scaly object began moving. The object started slowly moving in different places showing apendages. Wings, legs, a tail and a head. The creature was larger than most lifeforms native to Earth. It looked around at all the gawkers who were either to nervous to even move or were trying to take some pictures .

There was a rather calm silence as it looked at all of them around it. They weren't too close for comfort and no one wanted to get closer for fear of losing their life. It could hear them speaking in low mumbles in a attempt to understand.

Soon the familiar sounds of sirens were heard nearby catching its attention. The creature turned around and started to walk towards it. A police cruiser was in the area and was heading towards the source of the damage. When they officers found it walking in their direction they quickly stopped the vehicle. One of the officers rushed to grab their walkie talkies while the other grabbed a shotgun. "Uh we're going to need back up soon on the ah!!" The creature stepped on the front of the car slowly lifting it forward and smelling it.

"This is no ordinary carriage. More like a Dwarven device but vastly different." When it talked everyone on the street could hear its deep voice. The fact that it was intelligent didn't necessarily calm anyone's nerves. "You people don't look like Nords. Where is this place?" It wasn't speaking to anyone in particular. The dragon could hear more sirens moving on the street behind him. More of them were police cars,Firetrucks and ambulances. The police officers got out of their cars aiming their weapons at the creature. One of them a rookie fired a shot at it piercing its tough skin but not doing much actual damage but it was felt.

"You threaten me Mortal!" Its wings began to flap and lift the creature up into the air. At this point many of the civillians in the area were running knowing what was about to happen. "You shall feel the might of my Thu'um! Fus Roh Dah!" A wave of energy shot out towards the police officers tossing them back into their cars and breaking some bones. Alduin flew into the air not willing to waste its time there and was looking to find a perch. It needed to learn where it was at.
