Pendragon fell to one knee and bowed his head to King Varian, ruler of the kingdom of Stormwind and high commander of its military. By his appearance alone, the king appeared intimidating and cruel with eyes that could freeze a mans blood with just one stare when to the surprise of Twilight and her friends he spoke in a gentle manner and helped Pendragon to stand.

"Pendragon. It is good to know that you are alive and it seems we got here just in time."

"Thank you my lord but I'm curious as to how you got here." Pendragon asked when an elderly man holding a staff with a raven carving stepped forward.

"You can thank me for that."

"Archmage Khadgar!" Pendragon shouted slightly when he saw the old man and with good reason, Khadgar was a hero from his homeworld and a powerful wizard. Their conversation was cut short when Pinkie popped up between them and began her usual yammering.

"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie, one of Pens friends and these are our other friends; RarityApplejackFluttershyRainbowDashTwilightSpike-!!"

"Okay! Pinkie please!" Said Pendragon placing a hand over her mouth as the old man laughed.

"Ah to be young. It is a pleasure to meet you miss Pie."

"Oh just call me Pinkie mister...?"

"Khadgar." He said as Twilight and the others walked up to greet him and the king.

"Greetings Khadgar. I am Twilight Sparkle, the princess of friendship and these are my friends but I guess you already know that." Twilight said sheepishly while the old mage bowed to her.

"A pleasure your highness."

"And we welcome you as well King Varian."

"You honor me with your hospitality and for looking after one of our kingdoms greatest champions."

With the introductions out of the way, the kings men began repairs on the city with a few peculiar characters helping. The first of the bunch looked no bigger than a foal yet had bushy mustaches and wore goggles over their soot covered faces while piloting strange machines that walked on two leges, the next had long beards and were slightly bigger yet more muscular as they hauled huge amounts of wood and rubble off the streets.

"Uh Pen? What are they?" Asked Rainbow scratching her head in confusion.

"Oh. These are the dwarves and gnomes of Ironforge. The gnomes help make the machines you see carrying the rubble and the dwarves forge our weapons and armor but they are also excellent stone carvers and jewel crafters." That last part made Rarity's ears perk up as she was a fan of jewelry as well as fashion.

"Forgive me for cutting this conversation short but we have much to discuss." Said Varian as Princess Celestia and Princess Luna arrived with Shining Armor and his men.

"I agree."

At Canterlot Castle

Pendragon had briefed the archmage and the king on the events that had transpired before their arrival, the news was disturbing to both Khadgar and Varian for they had seen the horrors the scourge had once unleashed upon Azeroth and remembered the suffering their people endured.

"So Frostmourne is reforged and is now in the possession of this Nightmare Moon?" Khadgar questioned to be sure he heard everything right.

"And to top it all off, Kel'Thuzad has returned and has somehow amassed a huge army." Pendragon added as Celestia rose from her chair saying.

"Then I suppose the time is now. Raven!" Celestia called for her personal secretary before heading to the castle gates where a large crowd had gathered.

"Citzens of Equestria. As you are aware, our kingdom has once again come under attack by a great evil and while it is true that Twilight Sparkle and her friends have saved us time and again I fear this may be a greater threat than even they can withstand. Many of you survived the attack at Trottingham and have seen the destruction these monsters have caused and so I ask you: Will you not take up arms and defend this great land of ours? If not for me the for the loved ones we have lost to this menace that is The Scourge!"

Many of the ponies were silent and Celestia feared her call would go unanswered until.

"I'll fight." A young stallion stepped forward with several others joining him.

"You can count on me!"

"We will fight for you princess!!" Many more began calling out for a chance to fight the scourge, Celestias heart was moved by the love and devotion her ponies had for their kingdom as a single tear fell from her eye. At that moment, King Varian stepped forward to address the citizens as their cheering died down.

"I am Varian; High king of Stormwind from the kingdom of Azeroth. It is good to know this kingdom has a few brave souls who would risk their lives to save it but rest assured you are not alone in this fight! Pendragon." The paladin stepped forward for all to see while Varian looked at him with pride.

"You all know this young man, you have seen his skill and bravery. He has fought the scourge before and has triumphed time and again and it is for that reason that I wish to appoint him as commanding general."

"What?!?" Pendragon was shocked at being given such an offer since he never lead an actual army before let alone lead one into war but as he prepared to turn down the offer the ponies of Canterlot as well as his friends urged him to accept.

"Pendragon you can do this." Said Twilight with a confident smile.

"We're with ya all the way!" Rainbow winked while nudging him with her elbow which seemed to do the trick as he looked to his king saying.

"My lord, I accept!"

"Then it is with great pride that I extend my hand in friendship to the rulers of Equestria and welcome them into the Alliance." Varian was sincere and humble with his offer as he extended his right hand to Celestia who in turn placed her hoof and smiled saying.

"I am honored King Varian."

Both leaders shook hands (or hooves) in friendship and thus a new ally had been made for Equestria in the form of King Varian and The Alliance.

End.
