Cole in Equestria

by QuickType

Good things come to those who wait

Cole sat all alone in the darkness, he couldn't describe the temperature of the darkness, it felt warm and cold at the same time. there he sat lost in thought for an unknown amount of time, until the darkness began to shift and change.
============================================================================================================

Luna was excited, she had only met the human for a brief moment before her sister flipped out. They had not gotten the chance to talk to a human for a long time, so long in fact they had Completely forgotten about humans altogether. She was so excited, she was going to be best friends with the creature! She would make him feel welcome, she was going to welcome Cole to their home.

As she walked she was soon joined by Celestia, "Good evening Tia" Luna said barely able to contain her excitement.

Celestia smiled a warm smile and said, "How are you tonight Luna?"

Luna giggled a little and said, "Excited dear sister, how long has it been since we have last met a human?"

Celestia thought for a moment, "I believe it has been more than 1500 years... or was it 2500 years ago?"

Luna trotted along, "Its been long enough that we had to do research on them sister, long enough that we have forgotten."

Celestia nodded and said, "We must hurry and join The Elements and John In front of ... Collen was it?"

Luna kept trotting along while saying, "If you want a strong ally for keeping evil out of Equestria you should really learn his name, Its Cole."

They opened the doors to the royal courtyard where Cole was being held.

===========================================================================================

The Princesses walked thru the doors into the torch lit courtyard, it was the same courtyard Cole had appeared in the first place.
As the Princesses entered the courtyard, John and the six Elements bowed to show their respect for the two royal sisters.

"Thank you all for coming" Luna said as she turned to John and asked "how long John?"

He looked at the moon "About 10 more minutes your highness."

At that moment there then came a cry from the edge of the courtyard, "Auntie!"

They all turned to see Blueblood walking in. Luna rolled her eyes, she never cared for this Blueblood, his great, great, great grandfather was much kinder and sweeter than this one.

"Yes?" Celestia asked

Blueblood raised a accusing hoof towards John, "I have just gotten information that this BUG!" He spat the insult, "Has been planning to release this Monster!" He motioned his hoof towards the statue of Cole.

Celestia opened her mouth to speak but Luna stepped forward with a smirk on her face. "Dearest nephew," Luna stared in a sweet voice,
"We are already informed on this situation and we plan to do nothing."

"But, But." Blueblood looked confused.

Luna continued, "If you wish for us to take action, tell us 3 things, 1. What is its name? 2. Is it a boy or a girl? 3. What is the species of creature? Is he and if he is infact a monster what category would he fit into?"

Blueblood was at a loss of words.

Then the doors to the courtyard where flung open again. Two guards, a cook, and a maid stepped into the yard.

They said nothing as they stopped to bow to royalty and then proceeded to stand next to John.

"Well!?" Luna demanded.

Blueblood sat there for a minute in thought before he gave up.

Luna continued turning to Twilight, "Twilight i believe you know all the answers to these questions."

Twilight nodded and pointed towards the human, "Cole is a human, his gender is male, if he was a monster he would be placed amongst the sentient, wise classes."

Suddenly there came a rumble and everypony turned towards the statue.

The darkness shimmered for a moment, Cole saw something; it was a pale light. Looking closer he saw a moon, then stars, and slowly the world began appearing.

Cole could feel the stone touching his body when he started moving. The first feeling to return was his head, he swiveled his neck as stone fell away to reveal his flesh, he rolled his shoulders as more stone fell off, next he freed his hands. He looked down as the rest of the stone broke away and saw John with some other ponies who waved upon seeing he was looking at them.

"Hey Cole, come down and meet everypony!" John said.

Cole quickly shook off the rest of the stone covering his legs and hopped down.

He was getting mixed reactions from the groups clustered around him.

Some ponies were happy, one was hiding behind another, the

Princesses looked on him in wonder of what he would do next, and the final one, a white cult with blond hair and blue eyes, he was wearing some sort of tux and looked at Cole with pure disgust.

Cole bowed to the Princesses and proclaimed, "I am Cole the Human, slayer of beasts and master of the hunt."

Cole wasn't really those things, he Just wanted to sound important... well maybe the hunting part was true but he has only slayed one monster while he was here.

Celestia returned the bow with Luna, "Greetings, I am Celestia and this is my sister Luna"

"This is really happening isn't it?" Cole asked thinking if this was a dream he would have woken up by now.

"What is?" Twilight asked

Cole shook his head trying to keep himself awake, "I am too tired for introductions at the moment." He looked at the princesses, "Do you have a place I can sleep?"

Luna nodded, "Of course I took the liberty to prepare a room."

Cole looked at John and said, "Thanks for helping me wake up, i'll see you tomorrow."

"Follow me Please." Luna said as She and Cole walked past a confused Celestia.

Luna lead Cole thru a large door and down largely decorated hallways, Cole saw banners of the sun and moon everywhere.

He was lead deeper and deeper into the castle, as they walked Cole noticed the guards; they were absolutely everywhere!

Some where dressed in gold armor with a white gem on the chest and others were dressed in a dark shaded armor with a green eye on there chest plate.

They ascended up some stairs, and a couple more hallways until they came to a hall with many doors.

They walked to the end of the hallway and ascended, more stairs and at the top they came to a room with a single door with 2 guards standing on either side of it.

"This is your room, I hope it is to your liking, good night." Luna said as she walked back down the stairs.

Cole walked up to the door, his back ached with the weight of his backpack and equipment. He could feel the guards eyes watching him as he opened the door.

Inside the room he shut the door behind him, the room was dark for a moment but slowly the room got brighter and brighter as a fire arose from a fireplace in the wall and candles began lighting themselves, to reveal a beautiful room with a desk, a dresser, a framed king sized bed with tons of pillows, two chairs, and a table with what looked like a whisky bottle with cups, and another door which Cole correctly assumed was the bathroom.

It was amazing, Cole set down his bag and began to unpack, thats when he noticed the long purple curtains, pulling them back revealed two glass doors with gold handles, opening them and walking out onto the balcony he could see the whole city glowing from its lights of the night life and the moon.

"Absolutely breathtaking." Cole said to no one.

Feeling another wave of exhaustion, he changed into his sleep where and crawled into the most comfortable bed he had ever slept in and fell asleep within moments.
======================================================================================================

Twilight and her friends gathered in her room which just so happened to be right next to the staircase leading to Cole's room.

They had been watching him from a spell from Twilight's horn.

"I still don't know about him Twi, he still seem rather strange." AJ said after seeing him fall asleep.

"If he is I am sure the princesses have it handled." Twilight said trying to reassure her friend.

"I am curious about all the fashion he knows, just look at his sleepwear, its simply divine with the rest of his clothing." Rarity said.

"I bet he is very athletic to escape those guards from the time he arrived." Rainbow said.

"I AM GOING TO THROW HIM A HUUUUUUUUGE P-A-R-T-Y !" Pinkie said bouncing around, but stopped mid hop with a gasp and rushed out of the room saying, "HE IS GOING TO BE HUNGRY AFTER ALL THAT NAPPING!!"

"Um, didn't he say he was a hunter, like of animals?" Fluttershy said softly.

That caused the excitement to break into that of worry of what he will do when he woke up.

"I know one thing." Twilight said " He is slowly gaining magic energy."

======================================================================================================

Luna happily sat on the throne of the night court. It was a tad boring but it was nice and quiet.

But the silence was short lived as Celestia Teleported into the room.

"You gave him a room?" Celestia asked

"You set the guards on him." Luna returned

Celestia did feel a bit guilty about it, she thought for a moment. "I should apologize.... I'll give him a gift, something that will be very helpful."
=======================================================================================================

Cole woke to a sweet smell and the feeling of someone watching him.
He opened his eyes and groaned, he was still here still in the land of magic talking ponies.
He sat up and looked around on the table with the whiskey.

Sitting on the table was a chocolate cake with frosting and sprinkles. there was a knife a fork and a plate already set out for him.

He got out of bed and walked over to the cake and inspected it closely, it did not seem dangerous. Shrugging he cut himself a piece.

' Just one bite then I'll ask the guards if I can get some breakfast.' He thought to himself as he maneuvered the fork into his mouth.

The taste was wonderful! It was so full of chocolate and cake with the perfect amount of frosting... Cole shed a manly tear at its goodness.

He finished his 2nd slice by the time there was a knock at the door.

"Come in!" Cole called with a half mouth full of cake.

In came a pony in a maid outfit.

She was light blue with a brown mane.

"Good morning sir, I am here to escort you to breakfast." she said, her sweet voice slightly shaking in fear as she spoke.

"Thank you, could you wait outside the door?" Cole asked

"Certainly sir, but please hurry, the princesses do not like to be kept waiting." she said as she walked back out the door.

Cole quickly took care of his morning routine, got dressed grabbed his bow wax, bow , and quiver and opened the door.

The two guards eyed the bow as he walked with them and the maid to the breakfast table.

As they walked they were joined by Twilight and her friends.

"Good morning Cole." Twilight said.

Cole stopped in front of her, it was obvious she was trying to make a better impression of herself on him. He smiled and said, "Good morning... what where your names again?"

"My name is Twilight Sparkle and this is, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbowdash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie."

Pinkie ran up to Coles face and asked, "Did you like the cake?"

Cole nodded, "It was wonderful, where I come from our cake is never that good.... except maybe my mom's.."

Cole frowned at the thought of her worrying about where he was.

"Lets get to breakfast." He said trying to change the subject.

They walked down the halls while the girls were discussing about various things along the way.

As they rounded the corner they ran into John.

Cole smiled, "Good morning John how are you?"

"I am fine, just coming to see what was keeping you and the elements." John answered.

"Just a bit of a hold up, lets go."

They continued walking until they came to two great large doors. Cole Pushed them open and they walked in.
Inside the room was a large table, and On the table was a feast of fruits, breads, jams, eggs, even cereal and milk.

The princesses were already seated with Blueblood.

Celestia spoke, "Good morning to you all, I trust you're rooms were to your liking?"

They all nodded. "Best sleep I've had in years!" Cole said.

Luna yawned a large yawn, "Then thyst taketh that thou is ready for “introductions”? She said making the quotations in the air with her hoofs.

"Yes I’ve already met you and the seven behind me." Cole had looked behind him, the maid and the guards were gone leaving the elements and John.

"Then that leaves thy's nephew, Blueblood." Luna said nodding towards the white stallion.

Cole turned to him, did a slight bow, and said, "Greetings."

Blueblood just sat there and grunted, Cole could tell Blueblood already hated him so he walked over to the closest chair to him and sat down, and John sat next to him.

"Lets eat!" Cole said as he filled his plate with toast and eggs.

The rest sat down and began to fill their plates.

Cole had noticed two things, they were very calm at the fact a new creature was eating at a table with them, and.... there was no meat.

"Excuse me?" Cole asked breaking the silence.

"Yes?" Celestia replied.

"I know you are all herbivores but, I am an omnivore...so where is the meat?"

Blueblood gagged on his food and started coughing.

"Its under that sauser in the center." Luna said with a smirk.

Cole picked up his plate walked to the center of the table and pulled up the bowl cover covering the pan. The smell of various cooked meats filled the room.

There was everything from Canadian bacon, sausages, American bacon, etc. Cole grabbed a good handful of bacon, some ham and some Can. Bacon and sausages.

He put the top back on and walked back to his chair, he could feel the room's eyes on him as he sat and began to combine his toast, eggs, and 2 kinds of bacon together to make a breakfast sandwich.

Before he did anything he took a big bite out of a sausage, it was hard separating it into two with his teeth but he made a wiping motion with his head and separated the tasty morsel into two.

He then ate some of his bacon strips followed by a big bite of his sandwich, as he was chewing as he looked up.

Everyone but Luna and Celestia where looking at him.

"What, you have never seen a being eat meat before?" Cole asked after he swallowed before taking another bite of bacon.

"I've only seen bears eat meat but that was fish." Fluttershy said looking frightened and interested at the same time. "Um, Humans don't eat ponies do they?"

Cole sighed "I am going to answer that question but I need to not be interrupted when I do, is that clear?"

The ponies nodded.

"Yes we could and we have in the past in times of starvation, and some still do, but where I come from it is a taboo and frowned upon."

Cole looked at Blueblood who looked mortified.

The princesses just kept on eating ignoring them all.

After that it was silent, Cole finished his sandwich and meat took out his bow and wax and started waxing the string.

"What is that?" Rainbow asked

"Its a bow, I use it to hunt."

"I've never seen a bow as weird looking as that before." Rainbow said.

"Its made to fire quickly and cleanly with alot of force."

"Hunt what?" Twilight asked

"My pray."

"Like what?" Rainbow asked.

"Animals I am hungry for, and those who seek to harm others." Cole said with a smile.

"Why did you bring it with you to the table?" Twilight asked with a bit of annoyance in her voice.

"I need to wax it every so often, so I wax it every other day just to be safe." He replied still smiling "Besides first time I was here I was attacked so I brought the arrows with me to be on the safe side."
He said turning looking at Celestia who was looking right back at him with a look of sadness and regret on her face.

"Well I am sure you deserved it and still do, you brute." Blueblood said in a half mocking tone.

"BLUEBLOOD! behave yourself." Luna said rather loudly.

Cole grabbed some pancakes from a saucer nearby and poured some syrup and butter on his stack. "So that brings me to an important question I have." He said as he poured himself some milk. "Am I a prisoner here or am I free to roam around?"

Celestia gave Cole a warm smile, "We should discuss that later, for now I am going to apologize for my first impression I gave to you with a gift, come here to receive it."

Cole stood up still holding his bow and walked over to Celestia who had also stood up.

"Come closer and get down on one knee." she said in her motherly tone.

He came closer and did as instructed.

He saw as she lowered her horn to the top of his head. "hold still" She said.

Cole saw nothing but light for a couple seconds, as the light faded Cole felt stronger somehow. "What did you just do to me?"

"I have just given you a royal gift, it is the gift of the rift. You should now be able to store items in a pocket dimension, Just image opening a bag somewhere in the air and you can just put stuff in and out as much as you please and it won't cost any magic energy."

Cole had to try this, he put his bow on the table and took out an arrow, he took his hand and imagined opening a zipper straight down and he held the arrow to the area, when he unzipped the rift the arrow in his hand disappeared, he let go of the arrow and withdrew his hand.

"Now just think that you want the rift to close and it will for you, and the best part is if you are storing multiple items all you have to do is reach out open the rift and think of the item you want and you will be able to pull it out." Luna said excitedly before yawning again.

Cole thought 'Rift close' he stuck out his hand into the space where he let go of the arrow this
time his hand did not disappear. "That is so cool! Thanks!"

Twilight spoke from her place at the table, "And the pocket dimension has its own time stream much slower than our own, like a year here could be a hour there."

Cole walked over to the plate of still hot and steaming meat he turned to Celestia, “You don't mind if I take this do you?” Celestia shook her head. He grabbed all the hot meat and put them in the rift for later, he then put his quiver, bow, and wax in there too and closed it.

He could tell he was going to like it here.
