Monobrow badassery · 2:24am Oct 27th, 2018
Constant vigilance at last paid dividends. Moondancer trotted through the active battlefield that was Ponyville, ignoring minor threats and detonating anything that might get in her way. She had an antidote for the magic-nullifying dust and distributed this to those in need as she passed. Her mission? Find and recover Sumac at any cost.
It was a grim mission, with explicit instructions that the enemy could not be allowed to take Sumac; if he could not be recovered, alive, then she was to deny the enemy a strategic resource. She didn’t like these orders, not at all, not in the slightest, but she would see them through. But, oh how she would regret them. Even as she searched for the sorcerer, her anxiety and dread for the worst outcome grew within her like a ravenous cancer.
One of the cat creatures, like Catrina but not Catrina, was menacing a group of unicorns trying to defend a house. Wand in paw, he was weaving a spell, something no doubt awful, as nefarious green magic could be seen coalescing around the copper tip of the wooden casting implement. Concentrating, Moondancer ended the conflict by teleporting the invader approximately one-thousand feet straight up in the air above. Then, she passed several glass phials filled with antidote to the unicorns before she departed in search of the sorcerer.
Her ears pricked when she heard the distinctive sound of exploding harpy eggs; this was a problem, but not an unexpected one. It was a reckless choice and it showed that the enemy lacked real organisation. Harpies were indiscriminate killers and were just as likely to kill Sumac with their reckless assaults as capture him. Because Grogar lacked certain magical artifacts, harpies could be commanded—but could not be controlled. Still trotting with purpose, she clucked her tongue at the enemy’s carelessness.
A unicorn wearing the remains of a rat catcher’s outfit moved to intercept her and Moondancer was prepared. When the strange unicorn mare’s horn charged, Moondancer cast Rebounding Reflection, a powerful type of spell mirror, a spell that very few unicorns were capable of casting. Moondancer was not only capable of casting it, she had made improvements on Star Swirl’s defensive barrier.
The telekinetic bolt fired by the strange mare, though rather weak, struck the barrier and was returned to sender with a great deal of multiplicative force. It rebounded at an angle and upon return, struck the unicorn mare in her left front leg—which was instantly pulped and turned into a fine red mist. She tumbled down with a cry, and then shrieked with agony.
Moondancer wasted no time finishing her off; a casual telekinetic flick was enough.
Get rekt.
Daamn! Moondancer is badass!
Indeed Moondancer is a badass and undoubtedly still trying to make amends for the past
