Shattered Sunset: Next Chapter Preview · 5:38am Feb 6th, 2018
I’ve realized it’s been a long time since I’ve touched My Little Planeswalker: Shattered Sunset, so just to make sure that you all know that I haven’t forgotten it entirely, here’s a short, relatively spoiler-free excerpt from the next chapter.
“Coming!”
A gentle trotting of hooves signaled Rarity’s arrival. Her eyes brightened as her muzzle split into a sickeningly cheerful smile. Good. That meant she still didn’t suspect anything.
“Oh, hello Sunset! What brings you here today?”
Almost immediately, Rarity’s eyes went wide. By that point, my horn was already igniting as I prepared to cast my next spell.
Unfortunately, I yet again managed to underestimate just how much of a fight my target would put up. Just as I launched a concussive bolt from my horn, Rarity yanked a diamond from a nearby ponnequin’s dress, holding it just in front of her with her telekinetic grip. My blast immediately rebounded off of the gemstone, reflecting at a low angle and striking me right in the center of my chest. My breath forcibly evacuated from my lungs as I was sent tumbling backwards and sprawling onto the ground.
...Dammit, of course she had to be the one to use the environment to her advantage. There must be some force of cosmic irony that’s laughing at me right now.
Yeaaaah, soul magic vs. vampire is probably going to ring some warning bells.

Part of my goal with this fic was to find an answer to the question "exactly how much humiliating physical punishment can a villain take while still seeming threatening?"
