Huh, this was actually really fun to read! Blueblood and Trixie make for an interesting pair. Their dynamic is antagonistic but they still work well together to get the job done. It felt very Lina Inverse and Gourry Gabriev to me, which is rare to see nowadays. Good thing they had a plan.

I can see Blueblood carrying around a magic sword and knowing how to use it. With all the time and money that he has it wouldn't surprise me he had a family tutor on tap to brush up on his skills. Other than the teleporting (though it was funny how the spell kept setting herself on fire), Trixie felt believable in her abilities. She's a tricky (heh) one to get right magic wise.

Now the hardest part: settling on a title!

Nice work!

This is a good read. For the first time, Blueblood doesn't present himself badly; despite his motive being to obtain fame and favor, I also wonder if he's also really trying to gain back real honor and dignity.

And the dynamic with Trixie was amazing. Unusual, but amazing.

I want to see what happened if Spike and this Blueblood meet :trollestia:

I always preferred having Trixie stick pretty close with her roots. In a world where unicorns can throw around explosive flares and levitate whole houses, she's got the kind of magic most would expect out of a Las Pegasus stage show. It makes writing her a lot more fun, as I get to come up with fun ways for her to use it in creative ways.

Blueblood has always been my favorite character to write, with Trixie not far behind. They're a pair who cannot go ten minutes without belittling each other or making a snide comment, yet there's something genuine between them that's always simmering just below the surface.

“Her name is Pride,” Blueblood replied with a flourish. “And she goes before destruction.”

Oh I absolutely love this little line.

It's a line I've wanted to use for years, but never had a place to use it. Now I do, and I couldn't be happier.

Outstanding fight, especially how most of Trixie’s repertoire is repurposed stage magic. Love Blueblood’s hidden depths (which still come across as somewhat shallow given why he’s doing this,) and the continual sense that they were one misstep away from a messy, ignominous death.

That said, I wouldn’t be surprised if this stunt mostly got shock and disappointment from Celestia. Dragonslaying is hardly diplomatic, especially when it seemed to be wholly unprovoked. Still, a thrilling read. Thank you for it.

Blueblood is going to return to Equestria and find out that he killed an endangered species for sport, then settle out of court for millions of bits. But at least he can put "Slayer" on his resume!

Al menos Luna estará feliz y nostálgica por él. Sus antepasados con experiencia amenazaban a dragones jóvenes, él sin saber nada, acabó con un adulto.

It's a superb boast!

All in all, an excellent read. I definitely am going to look at your other stories too!
