Maybe a Death and Decay spell would work? No, to large of a chance of rotting the building down around you. >Looks like you might have to fight your way out, you drop the purple pony and spread your legs apart. >The pony scrambles away as you draw your Runeblade from your back. Blue, green and red runes dance along the blade as they thrum for the taste of blood. >You have a nagging in your head you should stop, is this the concious you silenced so long ago? >You draw a ram's horn from your belt and hold it in your left hand, a Horn of Winter. >You put the horn to your mouth and prepare to blow as the large white pony bares down on you. >You hear what can only be described as a waddle walk by your left side and you freeze up >Chilly is walking up to the pony >"Chilly, get your little ass over here!" He flips you a flipper and walks by the princess with no fucks to give >He just walked out! The large pony shook it off faster than you expected, she was already upon you. >You blow the horn, the sound echoing through the house and drop it, the sling around it returning it to your side and you charge with a drawn runeblade   You lead into your charge with your shoulder, sidestepping her horn and slamming into her side. >She fall with your tackle and rolls over on her back, leaving your face within range of her hooves. >Her right front hoof comes up and makes contact with the right side of your jaw, pulverizing the bone in it. >You stumble back, your hand flying to your jaw. You may not feel like you used to, but that still hurt like a bitch. >The big horse is back on her legs and charging, you sweep out your hand and toss an orb of black enegy at her. >She had not expected this and took the spell to her lower back left leg. >You spit out some of the rotten-ichor you called blood from your mouth, well more like drooled. >You swung your blade in an overhead swipe, but misjudged the distance and her horn hit you, piercing a chainmail area in your armor. >She stops, a sad look on her face, and a greenish-red ichor dribbled down her horn   >With a jerk, she jerks her horn out or your torso. "I`m sorry it came to this, you proclaimed yourself a danger the moment you threatened my student." >You stand there with a dumbfounded look, did she expect you to be beaten by a busted jaw and a little stab wound? >You swing your Runeblade, a slight green glow faintly seen from the edge. It slices along her her right flank. >The wound goes a sickly green colour and she yelps in pain from the wound. >She limps around, a shocked look on her face. "This is the seond time you`ve struck me how-"She stops as she stumbles a bit, looking at her flank. >The infected area was growing larger. >"Enough of this, you clearly excel in in swordsmanship. How about your spell work?" >Your proppeled through the wall of Sugercube corner, not into, but through. >A few ponies that had gathered to see what the ruckus was fled in sight of you. >You finished sliding, and rested at the base of the wall of another building. >You try to stand but your legs don`t work, they`re both broken. >You stab your sword into the earth and grasp your left leg first and break it back into place. >The pony walks through the hole in the wall >You hasten your makeshift healing and break the other one into place. You use your sword as leverage to stand up. >She`s back upon you, and you have to block another stab with the flat of your blade. >She prepares another spell and blows you back into the houses wall. >"Ahhh fuck, there goes my arm..." Sure enough, the last attack caused a piece of debris to shear your arm off. >It laid a few feet away from you. >She had her horn pointed at your forhead, a killing blow even on you. >You had your Runeblade laying against her throat, might not kill her, but you`d be damned to not go down fighting.   >"Why have you come here, Welp?" >"Just to piss you off princess." She snorts, and kicks her front leg againt the break in your right leg. >"Sunuva-can't take a joke?" you murmur, your jaw hurting. "An idiot mage set me here, not my choice." >"Do you expect me to believe that?" >"Believe me or don`t, I could care less. I mean, doesn`t everyone just love falling several stories and being launched through walls?" >Blood Worms are crawling from the the slab of flesh where your arm used to be. >"Truce?" You growl out, not really wanting to get a horn through your forhead at this point. >She stares at you and you felt something familiar, mental probing? Was she a priest? >She glares again at you. You had to admit, she had the best damn poker face you`ve ever seen. >"Lower your blade, we shall get you medical attention and we shall talk about your punishment for all you have caused. " >If your jaw wasn`t broken, it would've dropped. "Just like that it`s over?" >She scowled and nodded, nt moving her horn away from your skull. >"We forgive and forget, not foster grudges and hatred. Consider this your first lesson in the magic of friendship." >You lower your blade, but keep a firm grip on it. Sure enough, her horn left your facial area. >You slid your blade onto your back and moved to grab the severed arm on the ground. "Well, that was fun."
