The Dog and I stood facing each other, ready to fight. This shouldn't take long, especially with the special training I've been doing with my Arcane Circles. The Dog began to talk but I ignored him and jumped into the air before using a Shield Bash on my hind hooves to propel myself towards him incredibly quickly. I summoned a Kinetic Circle around a forehoof and attacked with a flying KC Punch.

Somehow, the Dog managed to use his magic to throw a rock up as a shield and dodge at the same time. My KC Punch shattered the rock just as he began to throw more and more at me. I stopped and landed on my hind legs thanks to a little self telekinesis, stood like a Human and threw weak KC Punch one after another, destroying every rock he threw at me.

Before he could begin a next attack, I teleported behind him and fired my red electrical beam. He barely managed to fling himself out of the way. I jumped again and used the power of the beam to send me into a spin. I cut off the beam, then flung a volley of three Detonation Razors in his general direction and purposefully detonated them early to create a smokescreen. I fired a couple dozen medium strength magic bolts into the smoke and heard a satisfying cry of pain.

Suddenly, the smoke was hurled toward me, but I redirected it upwards and out of the way with an angled Force Barrier. The view was now clear and I could see that the Dog was preparing a big magical attack, so I summoned a weak Solid Razor behind him and fired it with a Shield Bash. He noticed it as planned and split his attention between it and me. He turned and stuck his paws out to either side of him and fired a half strength magical beam from each paw; one at me and the other at the Solid Razor.

With a quick boost from a Support Circle, I fired my red electrical beam once again, just as his beam destroyed the Solid Razor. My boosted beam vs his half strength beam wasn't even a contest; mine blasted through his as if it were paper and finally hit him directly, exploding on contact. The force of the blast sent him flying backwards into the wall behind him. I fired a strong magic bolt at the wall to collapse it and finish him off. The wall crushed him, breaking his arms and legs as well as knocking him out, but, with a little protective magic from me, it didn't get close to killing him.

I sat on the ground, gasping for breath. Well, I was right about it being fast. Used up all of my magic though. I grabbed a few potions from my potion belt and downed them all at once. That's another big one down, assuming Luna was successful in her fight. Of course she was, these guys are easy. This one seemed to have normal Unicorn magic, so it's likely this was the one their leader referred to as 'one being able to control reality'. Quite a letdown. Just one more, then the biggest. Having gotten my breath back, I stood up and went back to the hallway.

Now to just find Vesper...
