It was a day unlike any other for Equestria, a powerful storm had suddenly formed on the horizon making the winds howl and the oceans churn violently while the weather ponies did their best to get it under control yet something about this storm seemed unnatural as a maelstrom began to form just off the southern coast of Equestria where a large ship of unknown origin was seen riding through the storm before crashing on a nearby cliff. Having received news of the sighting, Princess Celestia sent Twilight Sparkle and her friends to investigate the sight the moment the storm died down.

After three whole days of wind and rain the maelstrom had finally subsided making it easy for Twilight and her friends to travel while the rest of her friends in ponyville repaired the damage that was done to their town.

"That was some storm we had, one for the record books!" Rainbow Dash said while hovering overhead as she kept an eye out for signs of the wreck with Twilight and Fluttershy.

"What do ya think caused it Twilight?"

"I don't know Applejack but I hope it's nothing serious-!! Look! There it is!" Twilight pointed to the wreck as it came in sight of the others. The ship was massive from stem to stern and from what the ponies could tell it was heavily armed when they had noticed the numerous cannons poking out of its side while on the shore laid rusted swords and other such weapons.

"This looks like a warship." Twilight muttered slightly as she examined the wreckage when Spike pulled up a large blue flag decorated with a lions head.

"What do you think Twilight?"

"Not sure Spike, this flag doesn't match any we have in Equestria and neither does the ships design."

"Though I must say whoever made this flag has excellent tastes in fabric." Rarity said as she started to rub the cloth when Fluttershy spotted a peculiar set of footprints leading behind to rocks before spotting a feint smoke stack from a dowsing campfire indicating that someone survived the wreck. Twilight had suggested sneaking up on the campsite not knowing if the survivor was friendly or not but when they surrounded the campsite they had found it empty, Applejack did a quick inspection of the camp and noticed a pile of fish bones followed by a freshly stacked pile of firewood.

"Hmmm...this fire was just lit. I reckon whoever made it must've gone off to get more lunch."

Just then the group heard a loud shout followed by what sounded like some kind of struggle. Spike climbed up the rocks to investigate when his jaw suddenly dropped before Twilight flew up to check on him.

"Spike what is it?"

"Look!" The little dragon pointed to a creature standing on two legs, wearing ragged clothes and holding a fishing pole. Twilight knew what creature this was all too well having been one herself; it was a human.

"Gotcha!!" The stranger cried out after finally yanking in a large fish unaware that he was being watched as the others got a good look at him. The human had pale skin, long hair tied in a ponytail followed by a large scar right in the area of his heart.

"Well I'll be. Grannies stories were true!" Applejack whispered while continuing to stare.

"Do all humans dress like that Twilight?" Rarity asked after examining his rugged outfit.

"Not that I know of." The group continued to watch as the human tossed the fish into a large basket holding several others before quickly finding a place to hide.

"So? What do we do?" Rainbow asked while making sure to keep out of earshot.

"Let's introduce ourselves. I'm sure he'll be glad to see a friendly face!" Pinkie pie suggested before popping out of the rocks with a friendly smile.

"Hello!" The pink pony shouted in a friendly voice while not noticing the look of anger on the humans face as he reached down for something in his boot.

"My name is Pinkie Pie! What's your-AH!!"

"RAAAGH!!!"

The human lashed out at her with a large knife before Rainbow swooped in with a kick to his face as the others joined her.

"Leave her alone creep!"

"What she said!!" Spike shouted with Rainbow when the human stood back up with a bloody nose.

"So...come to finish me off eh?" The human growled while reaching under a rock to pull out a large sword while keeping a tight grip on his knife.

"What does he mean finish him off?" Twilight asked aloud when the stranger charged at them again.

"You're all dead!!"

"Hold on there partner!!" Applejack used a nearby rope to lasso the humans arms as the others helped to wrench the sword and knife out of his grip while Twilight used a sleep spell to subdue him.

"Spike! Send a letter to Celestia, tell her we found something!"

Hours Later

The human was brought back to Canterlot after the Royal guards salvaged what they could from the shipwreck.

All the stranger could hear was voices that seemed to fade in and out as if he were in a dream followed by images of what looked like ponies in doctors outfits tending to his wounds before finally waking up in what appeared to be a large bedroom.

"What the?" He had noticed that the sun was at its highest peak meaning he had not been out for very long, he then noticed a fruit bowl left for him on a small table and after eating nothing but fish this seemed like a gift from the gods. The human scarfed down the fruit as fast as he could before hearing the faint giggle of princess Celestia who had come to check up on her newest house guest.

"Glad to see you still have your appetite." The princess smiled at her guest who didn't seemed surprised to be talking with an all powerful mythical creature.

"Thank you for your hospitality but...why am I not in a dungeon?"

"You cannot be blamed for defending yourself but I must ask. Why did you attack Twilight and her friends?" The Princess sat across the table from the human who had appeared to be examining her before explaining.

"I thought they were with the group that attacked us. About three days ago, the crew I was with were sailing back home after winning our most recent war and we had been tasked with transporting an artifact of dark magic." His voice grew ominous as he began to recall the events of the attack.

"The assassins came during the night, at first we thought the night air was playing tricks on us but there they were. Ponies dressed in black robes that began killing off the entire crew until only I was left. A few others began some kind of incantation and before I knew it I was washed ashore on a strange world all alone, left for dead....until they found me."

Celestia could see he had been honest and true to his story and saw no reason for him to lie.

"Do you have a name?" She asked as the human stood straight and placed a fist on his chest while giving a slight bow.

"I am Sir Pendragon. Knight of the ninth legion of the kingdom of Stormwind."

"Well it is a pleasure sir knight. I am Princess Celestia, ruler of Equestria."

Having earned his trust, the Princess allowed Pendragon to accompany her around the castle as she gave him a private tour while telling him a bit about Twilight and her friends who were at the time examining the various items the guards had salvaged from the wreck.

"So fascinating! I've never seen a map like this!" Twilight squealed as she examined one of the ships maps while Spike and Rainbow Dash were examining a weapons chest.

"Check out this armor!"

"Cool sword!"

"Oh! Please be careful spike." Fluttershy cautioned when she noticed the Princess walking in with the human.

"Everypony I'd like you to meet our guest. Sir Pendragon."

"I wish to apologies for my behavior. I thought you were the enemy." Pendragon humbly knelt down at the ponies who seemed reluctant to forgive him, that is until pinkie pie latched onto him for a hug which seemed to make Pendragon feel awkward.

"Oh it's okay! You were just a little grumpy!"

"That's putting it mildly." Rarity whispered to the others while Pendragon examined the items laid on the table.

"Hmm...all seem to be in good condition but where's my-!!"

"Ohh! What's this?"

Pendragon gasped to see Pinkie fiddling around with a strange looking item.

"CAREFUL!!" He scolded snatching it back.

"Pinkie pie right? You can't go around messing with these kind of weapons!"

"How in thunderation is that thing a weapon?" Applejack asked when the knight suggested they go to a nearby target range where he could demonstrate. He proceeded to pour black powder into the device before dropping a large metal ball then patting it down with a small iron rod.

"Now. Cover your ears." He said as he took aim. The ponies seemed confused at his request when.

Tink!

KAPOW!!

The target dummy had been blown to pieces with one shot leaving the mane six and many of the trainees stunned and a bit horrified.

"Alright little ponies pay attention! You see this? This is my BOOM stick!!" He shouted making the others flinch.

"This is a standard military grade single shot pistol made in the foundries of iron forge! It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel and a hair trigger." He proceeded to hand over his weapon to a pair of guards who started tossing it around, afraid it might fire off another shot while the rest made their way back inside.

"So Pendragon where are you from?" Twilight asked while still following.

"My home is Azeroth. A world far beyond yours."

"The Princess said you were transporting some kind of artifact when your ship crashed."

"I was but when I searched the wreck it was gone...along with my sword." The last bit of the memory seemed to sadden him when Pinkie pulled him in for another awkward hug and a big announcement.

"Well turn that frown upside down! Cause I'm gonna throw you a Welcome To Equestria Party!! WOO HOO!"

Pendragon could not help but smile at the Pink mares enthusiasm as she bounced around like a ball before making her way to the exit.

The party had taken place in the town of ponyville where a huge crowd had gathered around sugarcube corner to see the human dining with the Princess and the elements of harmony.

The festivities began with Rainbow challenging Applejack and Pendragon to a cider drinking contest as the ponies chanted Chug! Chug! over and over until finally Pendragon was the first to give out followed by Applejack, leaving rainbow to finish her cider in one go.

"Aww yeah!!" The Pegasus cheered before letting out a huge belch that made the others laugh. (All but Rarity of course) While Pinkie introduced mister and misses cake along with their children.

"Mister and misses cake, meet Pendragon! I call him 'Pen' For short."

"Oh it's a pleasure to meet you dearie."

"The pleasure is mine." Pendragon said with a kiss to misses cakes hoof which made her blush.

"Oh! My such a gentleman." Misses cake giggled while her husband growled at his new rival, Pendragon instantly backed away as his new friends laughed before rejoining the party.

"Now pendragon. The Princess suggested that you stay with Applejack until we can figure out a way to send you home."

"Well if it's not any trouble."

"No trouble at all sugarcube! My family will make ya feel right at home."

"But first we MUST do something about those ragged clothes of yours!" Rarity interjected as she tugged on his vest with her magic and after an entire morning of partying, pendragon was given a fresh set of clothes and sent off to Applejacks farm where he a large red stallion wearing a harness and an elderly mare sitting in her rocking chair.

"Granny, Big Mac. This is Pendragon and the Princess has asked for us to give him a place to stay while he's here."

"Well if the feller doesn't mind sleepin in the barn."

"Not at all miss." Pendragon spoke humbly with a smile that seemed to delight the old mare.

"Oh! He called me miss, such manners. Well he doesn't seem so bad. What say you Big Mac? Ya mind having an extra hand around the farm?"

"Eenope."

"Then it's settled! You can help Big Mac plow the fields first thing in the morning!"

End.
