Twilight jumped to the side as Celestia's magical blade slashed the area she had once been. Block, block, parry, stab, miss, stab again...it was all a blur at this point. The match had been going on for a while.

For a couple weeks now, Twilight had been taking sparring lessons, with Princess Celestia as her teacher. It was an excellent workout, and a good way of relieving stress. She had been trying out different blades for a while now, and she quite liked this one. The hilt wasn't too bulky, and the blade extended and retracted easily.  

Twilight saw an opening and swiped hew newest blade at the other Princess' hooves, causing her to jump back and open her wings on impulse. She continued to stab and slice at the other princess with her lavender sword until Celestia was nearly backed into a corner. A golden blade swiped the area above her head, but she quickly ducked and pointed her own sword at Celestia's chest. One...two...three...four...five.

Breathing heavily, the two princesses retracted their blades. "Good job, Twilight. Do you think you'll be sticking with that one?" She indicated toward the hilt Twilight gripped in her telekinesis, now bladeless.

Twilight smiled and nodded. Yes, she quite liked this one.
