"Eh?"
"Eh what?" past-not-me snapped back, clearly annoyed.
I lit my horn, and gently floated a small locket off of Megan.
"My locket!" Megan exclaimed, tugging back on said locket. I smirked, and diverted a bit more force into the levitation. Megan, determined to keep it to herself, rather than surrender it for study to a noble scientist such as I, pulled even harder in return.
"Do you really think that your strength alone can defeat me, an alicorn with more magic than you'd ever believe?" I asked, halfmindedly increasing the force ever so slightly.
"Let... go!" Megan exclaimed, fiercely struggling to free the locket from my grasp.
Just a bit more power...
*SNAP!*
"My locket!"
I facehoofed. "Didn't you already say that on the fourth line of this chapter?" I deadpanned, pacing towards the impact area that the locket had hit after the string had snapped.
"What?" my two captives assistants replied. The grill continued to wail over her locket, but I personally, had better plans.
*crunch*
Oh. So apparently if you throw a fragile locket at a solid wall of rock, and then attempt to carelessly scoop it off the ground afterwards, it'll break.
What a nice lesson on physics.
