"Who are you!" he yelled to the figure.

"I am princess Luna, and might I ask your name?" the figure replied in the same tone as before.

Hesitating in his own response he mustered up his pride and spoke "I am navnik ixen, acolyte to the Bloodfang shaman.".

After a few moments the figure landed and walked closer to navnik ixen "Your an odd one to see in Equestria, what brings you here?" spoke princess Luna with slightly more curiosity.

"And you are one to speak with both wings to your back and bone from your head?" navnik ixen questioned backing away from Luna.

Giggling Luna halted raising an eyebrow, "Normally one would bow or be quaking in their boots." Luna spoke looking at navnik ixen's form.

"I have faced far worse than a single mare." navnik ixen exclaimed, reaching for his staff. Continuing his questioning he spoke in a commanding tone, "And from were are you speaking to me from?"

Raising a hand to her hip, she replies, "From Canterlot, were else?". Grabbing his staff navnik ixen swings it at her head, grinning as the staff connects to Luna's left temple.

"Never stood a blazen' chance" navnik ixen mumbled to himself before spinning around in surprise to Luna's voice.

"For what purpose was that?" Luna spoke up in a more hostile tone, rising from the ground.

Stammering navnik ixen responded "H-how could you recover so quickly?". Flapping her wings Luna flew at navnik ixen knocking him to the ground. 

"DID YOU NOT THINK WE WOULD NOT SUSPECT AN ATTACK FROM THEE?!" Luna roared at ear shattering volumes. Surprised navnik ixen moved away in a crimson mist, before reasemleing a distance away.

"I will not fall to you!" he yelled as the soil turned to gray dust. Charging at him Luna materialized a long straight sword. Smirking he sorrounded himself in a crimson mist.

"By Celestia." Luna gasped, halting as a large, black metal figure appeared from the mist.

"And from the ashes of failure we will rise." the figure spoke in deeper tone.

Gasping Luna backed away "What are you creature?" she asked in a frightened voice.

"So lost is confidence in the face of defeate, I am navnik ixen of the Bloodfang clan and I will not tell you again." navnik ixen spoke in a calm, unforgiving tone.

"We shalt see, the sun rises fool" Luna spoke before disappearing. Roaring navnik ixen blasted a nearby bolder, turning it to rubble.
