I was waiting with Luna and she was giving me pointers about Magic shields. As it turns out, they are strong, but have a weakness. Level 5 Shield Spells don't protect from burrowing attacks. So that means that I can dig my way under and land a hit.

But the rules mentioned no cheating. So that was pretty useless.

It was almost time for me to be called when I got a sudden visitor.

"Hey Prince Franz. How are you holding up?" Asked Shining Armor. I saw he had on his purple armor, but had a star on the breastplate. I think this was his armor for the duel. Lot's of purple.

"Oh, hey man!" I said, being friendly. I think I can make him go easy on me.

"Just wanted to let you know that no matter what happens, no hard feelings, right?" He said, flashing me a smile. He seemed like a pretty good guy. No, he is a good guy.

"Yeah, see you when I win?" I asked, poking fun. He smirked.

"In your dreams!" He said, completely unaware that Luna was still here. She looked a bit mad, but i ignored it. 50/50, Franz, 50/50.

"At least we aren't fighting for each others mares. I wouldn't know what to do with Luna." He said. Uh oh.

"And what's wrong with her?" I asked, getting a bit curious.

"Nothing really, it's just that I would rather have my mare than take somepony else's." He said.

"Oh, whats her name?" I asked, offering a friendly smile.

"Her name is Ca-" He was cut off, Luna suddenly speaking up.

"Captain Shining."

He noticed her and immediately bowed. Aha! A kiss ass!

"Your Highness. I was just making sure that Prince Franz was not having trouble." He said, rising after he said 'Your Majesty'. Luna looked mad, for some reason. Maybe it was her honor she wanted me to protect?

"Hey Lulu, it was just some friendly bickering." I interjected. She had opened her mouth to berate him, but stopped and turned to me.

"Did, did thou just call me, Lulu?" She asked, a glint in her eyes. It was kinda cute, and as soon as I was about to respond to her the caller shouted out our numbers through a small magical device on the corner of the table.

Number 4-b, you're up. Come on down to the arena. It said, static present in the transmission.

I checked the time. Wasn't there another 10 minutes before we were up? I checked the time and it read 11:12. I think the last guy was KO'd early.

Shining was looking at me with a smile.

"Well, looks like we're up." He said. I turned to Luna, who was smiling timidly. Maybe calling her that was making her act like this. I mean, if it'll get her to calm down, then I should call her that some more.

She then lunged at me and tried to kiss me. I folded my armor up and she kissed my helmet where my mouth would be. She noticed and still gave me the peck anyways.

"A taste of what Thee shall get if thou wins." She said.

Making a skateboard materialize nearby, I hopped onto it and slid off to my duel.

"Noted." I said, folding my armor back. I wasn't looking forward to whatever she had planned for me, but I decided to just brush it off. So far, that 50/50 chance wasn't going for me yet.

Picking up my bo staff I made it to the gate.

"NOW THIS IS WHAT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR! THE PONY WHO IS AT THE TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN IN THE ROYAL GUARD! THE STALLION WITH THE REPUTATION FOR SHIELDS SO STRONG, THAT NEARLY NOTHING CAN BREAK THEM. HE IS SISTER TO THE ELEMENT OF MAGIC AND HAS A ALICORN MAREFRIEND, THE GREAT, THE STRONG, SHINING ARMOOOOR!" The gate on the other side opened and he stepped out, donning his helmet and a sword on his side.

The crown proceeded to go wild. Damn, they were exited about this. I wonder what he'll do?

"COMING FROM THE UNKNOWN, WARRIOR OF THE PAST, AND POSSIBLE LOVER TO PRINCESS LUNA, THE ALICORN WHO REAPPEARED AFTER ONE THOUSAND YEARS, THE DEFT, THE WARRIOR, PRINCE FRAAAAAANZ!" Said the announcer.

For some reason, all I could hear were the screams of the mares, and maybe a few dudes too. I really hoped that they didn't come just for me. Then that would be a waste of money.

My side of the arena opened and I walked out, adding a little puff to my chest with a stern look on my face. I could hear the desperation of the mares trying to reach out for me. Jesus, is this what it was like to be famous? It was rather creepy. There was a pony at the gate with a checkered sweater. I didn't pay attention to him or her, because I was too focused on not tripping or making a fool of myself. The pony guided me to the ring.

It was a large ring, nearly 300 feet in diameter. I felt pretty small with all of the ponies watching me, and even more so with the large ring.

The referees guided us to the center of the circle, stopping us just short of each other.

"I WONDER WHAT KIND OF TRICKS THEY HAVE FOR US! THE MATCH WILL BEGIN ONCE THE FORMALITIES HAVE BEEN TAKEN CARE OF! WATCH CLOSELY, OR YOU MIGHT MISS SOMETHING!" Said the announcer. I felt my ears twitch. He was really loud, even through my helmet.

"Okay, We want a good clean fight. You both read the guidelines and rules, correct?" Asked the referee from between us. We both nodded.

"Good. Now ready yourselves, cause once that bell rings, its all green from there." He said. I noticed it was an older stallion, with a checkered flag for a Cutie Mark.

"Understood." Said Shining.

"Yeet." Was my own agreement. The referee just looked at me with confusion, Shining too.

"Yeah, I got it." I said, now realizing I had to actually confirm it.

"Good, now have fun, and remember, absolutely no lethal blows." He said, trotting away as to not get caught in the cross fire.

"Activate." I said, making my armor fold over my body. Shining looked surprised, as did everyone else.

"WHOA! LOOK AT THAT FANCY ARMOR! THE WAY IT CRAWLS OVER HIM LIKE A MOUNTAIN OF BUGS! I WISH I HAD FANCY ARMOR LIKE THAT." Yelled the announcer. I had managed to suppressed his voice to be bearable, but I couldn't hold back some of the feedback. Which was fine, since I just suppressed that too.

"WE START THE MATCH IN FIVE."

I readied myself by getting into a position. I was going to try and make a dash for it.

"FOUR!"

The crowd began counting down with him. I thought I could see Twilight and the girls, but focused on Shining.

"THREE!"

Shining raised his shield and sword via magic and I held onto my bo staff with magic as well.

"TWO!"

I took a breath in. I shoved everything into the back of my mind, and tried to use ultra instinct like goku did and closed my eyes. My hair didn't float or glow, but I could feel something inside me shift, almost like something I didn't know I had come out.

"ONE!"

Exhaling I saw noting but Shining, and the ring. I was now gonna kick some ass like a pro.

*DING DING!*

(Bad Photoshop, I know.)

I saw Franz take a deep breath in and relax his body. The bell rang and Shining Armor shot a blast of magic. I watched as Franz activated his shield from his wrist and slap the blast into the barrier that was erected around them, as to not injure the spectators with stray shots.

"WOW! AN IMPRESSIVE FEAT AS PRINCE FRANZ JUST SLAPS AWAY HIS MAGIC BLASTS WITH NOTHING BUT HIS WEIRD SHIELD! I WONDER WHAT KIND OF MAGIC THAT WAS!"

Shining, now shocked at the display of power, went into a defensive measure and raised his arm shield towards Franz. Franz dashed towards him as Shining attempted to bash into Franz with the shield. Franz hopped over him, grabbed his foreleg, and threw him into the ground with a flip in midair.

"AN AMAZING COUNTER TO SHINING ARMOR'S ATTACK! THAT WAS ONE OF THE MOST STRATEGIC COUNTERS I'VE EVER SEEN!"

Something wasn't right. Franz wasn't usually one for violence. Though, I think it was just because he had the drive to win.

Franz backed away, letting Shining to recollect himself. I could hear Cadence shouting at him to keep going. I also saw Luna smiling at Franz.

Shining Armor attempted to blast Franz again, this time it was clearly a Level 5 attack. He shot a large beam of magic and Franz activated his shield, letting the two of the attacks meet. Immediately, Franz was pushed back, but sunk his hooves into the marble floor. I wasn't worried about the floor, it would be able to reform after a moment. I noticed his shield slowly turn from cyan to a different color.

"SHINING ARMOR HAS TAKEN THE OFFENCE AND IS BLASTING PRINCE FRANZ WITH A CONTINUOUS BEAM OF MAGIC! THE RULES SAY THAT THERE ARE ONLY THREE MAGIC BLASTS PER MINUTE, THIS INCLUDES MAGIC BEAMS, SO HOW WILL PRINCE FRANZ GET OUT OF THIS ONE!"

Franz suddenly began pushing his was towards Shining. I was unable to see his expressions underneath his visor, but I assumed he had a plan. His shield was now a bright maroon color.

"WHAT?! PRINCE FRANZ IS NOW PUSHING AGAINST THE ATTACK! EXACTLY HOW STRONG IS THE PONY!"

Once Franz was close enough, he sidestepped and slammed into the Shining Armor, taking him down in a tackle.

"He remembered." Said Luna. I looked at her.

"He remembers what?" I asked her.

"I used that against him when we were fighting as Nightmare Moon. We used that tactic when we were in a power lock and he was overpowering us." She said, smiling widely.

'So he can remember from his past hardships and use them against the opponent. Interesting,' I thought, watching them trade blows with their skillsets.

I also noticed that there was a slight glow to Franz' armor. It was a purple glow that seemed to go unnoticed by Shining.

"SHINING ARMOR AND PRINCE FRANZ ARE STUCK IN A POWER LOCK! IS THAT PRINCE FRANZ'S ARMOR ENCHANTMENT AT WORK? I WONDER WHAT IT DOES?"

Franz' bo staff suddenly sparked to life with blue electricity and he slammed it into his armor, shocking everypony in the crowd. His armor now had a dark purple glow to it.

"WHOA, I DIDN'T EXPECT HIM TO HURT HIMSELF! WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?"

Everypony quieted down and watched the two of them fight. Franz launched his bo staff at Shining, making it act like a spear. It smashed into Shining's wooden shield, stabbing into it with the amount of force applied. It looked like a giant arrow was stuck in it.

"THIS MATCH IS GETTING HEATED! AND IT'S ONLY BEEN THREE MINUTES! IF THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GONNA SEE FOR TEN MINUTES AT A TIME, THEN I SURE AM GLAD TO BE SEEING THIS!"

Franz sprinted and slammed his hoof into the shield Shining still had raised. A powerful shock wave of purple energy erupted from Franz' armored hoof, sending Shining close to the border of the ring. His armor looked like it was beginning to crack and chip. I knew Franz's armor was made out of the rare Titanium, and it was far superior that Shining's steel armor.

"WOW! ANOTHER POWERFUL ATTACK! WHAT ELSE WILL THESE TWO DO!"

Franz made another dash towards Shining. I noticed that he wasn't using his sword, even throughout their power struggle. It suddenly flared with a flaming blue aura and was swung at Franz. He tried to block it with his energy shield, but it popped and Franz took the attack full force. He was thrown back and a piece of armor plating was blown off, now exposing a small patch of fur.

"ANOTHER COUNTER! THIS TIME BY SHINING ARMOR! IT LOOKS LIKE PRINCE FRANZ WONT BE GETTING UP FROM THAT ONE! COULD IT BE THAT SHINING ARMOR WON THE FIRST ROUND IN UNDER FOUR MINUTES?!"

"Get up Franz. Please." Whispered Luna. I saw a look of desperation on her muzzle.

"Do not fret, sister. I'm certain that he will get up again. Do you remember when he took on Discord by himself?" I said, whispering to her.

"We recall his display of power. If only he could remember it."

We all turned to see Franz making another dash at Shining. Shining readied his sword again, but was blocked by another bo staff, this time of pure blue, cackling energy. A shock wave erupted again as the two forced collided. I smiled, he at least remembered this weapon.

"AND PRINCE FRANZ IS BACK! AND HE SEEMED TO HAVE REMEMBERED TO BLOCK WITH A WEAPON OF MAGIC!"

Luna's smile returned.

Shining made a magic shield and had a confident smirk. Franz, although unable to see his face, had a smirk underneath. Franz proceeded to stab at the magic shield with his new weapon. The first few didn't do much, but the last one was a powerful attack at full strength. Shining's magic faltered, and Franz slammed his hoof into the ground, making his own bubble shield on top of Shining's. His shield was then taken over, and he was trapped withing two of the shields along with Franz.

"WHAT'S THIS? IT APPEARS AS THOUGHT SHINING IS NOW TRAPPED WITH PRINCE FRANZ IN THEIR OWN SHIELDS! WHAT A TWIST!"

A sudden blast of magic blackened everything inside, making it unable to see what was going on. Soon the shields dissipated and the two of them had each other at a stalemate. Franz had his energy staff pinned up against Shining's throat, while Shining had his sword at Franz's throat, each of them on the ground and using their magic to keep their weapons at the other.

A referee was on the scene and checked the both of them. Everypony was holding their breath, waiting for the referee to give them the answer. He threw up a yellow flag, indicating that they were in a struggle of wits.

"WOW! LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVE EACH OTHER AT THE THROAT, BUT WHO WILL BACK DOWN? PRINCE FRANZ, OR SHINING ARMOR?!"

Luna was on the edge of her seat. Everypony waited in anticipation as the both of them were fighting hard to get out of the trapped position.

Suddenly, there was a shock wave, and Franz was forced into the ground, creating a small crater where he was. Everypony was taken by surprise and started cheering for the new predicament.

"LOOKS LIKE PRINCE FRANZ IS IN A PICKLE! HOW WILL HE OVERCOME THIS TURN OF EVENTS?"

Franz slammed his hoof into the ground, creating another bubble shield. He was then able to get back up, and walked out of the shield and over to Shining. I saw Cadence arch her back in suspense as Franz still had his energy staff at Shining's throat. Everypony saw that a part of his visor was cracked, and began cheering with excitement.

"IT LOOKS LIKE PRINCE FRANZ IS GOING TO WIN THIS MATCH! WAS THERE EVER ANY DOUBT THAT AN ALICORN WOULD BEAT A UNICORN IN A HEAD TO HEAD BATTLE?"

Instead of finishing Shining Armor, he released his hold on his energy staff and let Shining rise again.

"LOOKS LIKE PRINCE FRANZ HAS SOME SORT OF MORAL CODE! WHAT COULD IT BE?"

Shining was without his shield and sword, and decided to make a sword out of magic. Thankfully, there was a spell that automatically made any weapon made in the dome become blunt. He must be close to tiring, if the trails of sweat he was giving was any indication. Franz had the upper hoof in this battle. Although his energy shield was gone, he still had his energy staff, and freakish endurance, even to Alicorn standards.

"LOOKS LIKE THERE WILL BE ONE FINAL STAND! THIS BATTLE IS ONE OF THE MOST INTENSE ONES I'VE EVER SEEN! AND IT WILL BE A GREAT THING TO LOOK BACK ON WITH OUR RECORDING EQUIPMENT."

I thought I could see them speaking, except it was just Shining whose mouth was moving. Luna saw as well, and made a frown before shouting encouraging words.

"Thou can beat him, Franz! Don't let him worm his way into your mind with words!"

"LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THE PRINCESSES IS ROOTING FOR PRINCE FRANZ TO WIN! WHAT A REASON TO KEEP GOING!"

Luna just blushed and crossed her forelegs over her chest.

"Can we not just show our affection without everypony losing their minds?" She grumbled.

I smiled at her. I was secretly wanting Franz to come out victorious against Shining, but it looked like an evenly matched battle, even though Franz had the upper hand.

I saw Franz slowly make his way over to Shining and twirl his staff in a defensive position with his magic. Shining saw and blasted another shot at Franz. They were only 8 minutes in and it was already the most intense battle in this arena' history.

"WITH JUST UNDER TWO MINUTES LEFT, WHO WILL BEST THE OTHER IN THIS LAST EPIC STAND! OH THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME!"

Shining suddenly used a teleportation spell and reappeared behind Franz. Franz, in return, threw his staff into Shining's helmet, sending him into the air. Acting quickly, Franz flared his wings and made a skyward attack, adding additional damage to Shining, before slamming back down into the ground with Shining on the receiving end on the staff. Shining was clearly taken by surprise as he was hit by a another slash of energy that resulted from the staff.

"A GLAMOROUS COUNTER! AND WITH ONE MINUTE REMAINING, IT LOOKS LIKE PRINCE FRANZ WILL BE VICTORIOUS IF SHINING DOES'T ACT QUICK!"

Franz dash towards and tried to grab Shining. Shining, having no chance of countering or dodging, was grabbed and slammed into either sides of the ground. There was small traces of blood in this attack, showing the amount of damage Franz was dealing.

Franz then began spinning at a very fast rate, becoming a blur and flung Shining Armor out towards the outside of the ring, securing his victory.

"AND IT LOOKS LIKE SHINING IS OUT OF THE RING! THE WINNER IS CLEARLY, PRINCE FRANZ!" Shouted the announcer. Everypony cheered and threw confetti and flowers at Franz, who was standing still, watching his staff crackle out of sight and into thin air.

There was several ponies who managed to catch Shining before he hit the ground, and he was taken away with the medical staff. I'm sure that he will be fine. I could tell Franz was trying to hold back, and didn't want to seriously hurt him. Though that last attack was a bit excessive, to me at least.

Luna sprung from her chair and began cheering with the crowd over Franz' victory. I just stomped my hooves, adding to the cheering.

"AND THAT'S JUST ROUND ONE EVERYPONY! WE WILL BE BACK FOR ANOTHER MATCH BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM, SO GO AND BUT SOME SNACKS, BECAUSE THERE WILL BE MORE PUMMELING TO COME!"

Franz snapped out of the seemingly curious trance he had himself in, and began walking to his gate. Luna began getting up to see him, but i stopped her before she could leave the balcony.

"Luna, I believe he should rest for his next match. It wouldn't be fair to bother him while he's resting." I said clearly. Luna grumbled something and sat back down in her seat. Everypony was either chatting among themselves or talking about the match. I just hoped that Franz will be able to repair his armor before the next match.

I made it back to my cubicle and quickly re-made my energy shield and fixed my visor. I was worried about Shining, that last attack I gave him seemed like it hurt.

I quickly made my way over to his cubicle and saw that there were medical staff around him, using their magic for what looked like healing spells. Popping my head in, he saw me and smiled. He had a bloody nose and a few scrapes along his skin. Good god, I really did a number on him. Folding back my helmet I walked and got his attention.

"Hey man, I just wanted to say good game. You did really well." I said. He chuckled as the nurse stopped her magic and used a bandage of some sort and placed it on his nose.

"That should keep your muzzle from bleeding any further. Do be more careful." She said, packing her things and leaving with the other few staff. it looked like they didn't do anything, but I think they did serve a purpose.

"I didn't do as good as you. You beat my flank out there. I only managed to land a few good hits on you." He said, smiling.

"You did manage to trap me under your sword. That was a good move." I said, reminding him that he almost had me.

"After your final move, I pretty much had no other choice when you threw me out the ring. That was a really good attack, actually." He said, complementing me.

"Ah, well, there's plenty more where that came from." I said, giving him a challenging look.

"I hope there is, or else it wouldn't be a challenge." He countered, smiling confidently.

We stared at each other for a bit before we started laughing. I was glad I was able to get him back on my side after our duel. And he also took pride in defeat as well.

"Shiny!" Said someone from behind us. I turned and saw Twilight there, with a bit of watery eyes.

"Twily! I didn't know you were here!" He said, opening his hooves for a hug. I just got out of the way as Twilight went in for her hug. I remembered that she had a tendency to knock down ponies when she was excited. Like she did with Pinkie when she found the book about The Elements of Harmony.

She then punched him on the shoulder, making him wince.

"Why did you challenge Franz! You know he is an Alicorn, right?" She said, glaring up at him. Ooh, she was mad. She then turned to me.

"And you said you wouldn't hurt him too much! I thought that you promised me that!" She said, nervously glaring up at me. I leaned back as she was now in my face, with her horn a bit too close to my eyes. Wait, I never promised that!

"No, I said I wouldn't kill him. Not that I was going to in the first place. That's what I promised." I said, noticing a lavender smell coming off of her. I walked back a bit to put some more distance between us.

"When did you say that!" She accused.

"Danger Close!" I called. My helmet came flying over the crowd and my current armor popped off, with my first set latching on and forming around me. I stopped my visor from latching onto my face, and shoved it onto hers. She yelped, but soon stopped struggling.

"Replay Monday Recording." I said. It began playing the recording I had set up and saw Twilight watched herself acknowledge my promise. She then lowered her head in slight shame, chuckling nervously.

"Oh, oops." She said. I touched the visor and it unfolded, crawling over my armor and resting on my head.

"You see?" I asked nervously, in case she tried to hit me for being right. She didn't however. I realized that I was somewhat traumatized by Luna's training.

"Well, I was just scared by the way you finished the end. Was that really necessary?" She asked. I shrugged, not really sure about it myself.

A pony came into the room. It was one of the referees.

"You're up in five minutes. Make sure to finish your enchantments and come out when you're ready." He said, turning back around and leaving.

"Understood." I said.

"Got it." Said Shining.

"Well, I guess that means that I have to go. I'll see you in the stands." Twilight said, taking her leave.

"Hey, where are you guys sitting?" I asked. I couldn't see the crowd when everyone looked small.

"We're at the balcony under the princess'." She answered. Oh, neat.

"Ooh, neat."

"Well, good luck on your match guys, I would say I wish the both of you good luck, but this is what happens when my BBBFF picks a fight with my friend." She said, turning and leaving out the cubicle's doorway.

I noticed that she was pretty obvious about who she wanted to win, and didn't pick favorites. I guess she learned with what happened to her and the girls. Wait, did she say BBBFF? What did that mean? Oh well, I'll just find out later.

"You know, I think I'll forfeit the match and let you be the winner by default. If anything was to go by in the last match, then I wouldn't stand a chance against you." He said. Wait, what!?

"But what about when everypony was cheering for you? Don't you want to be the Unicorn that beat the only male Alicorn?" I asked. I didn't want him to fight anymore, but I couldn't just let him give up. The least he could do was put on a show for a bit, but maybe that was asking for too much. I barely knew the guy, but why the sudden change of heart?

"What's the point? You'll just win anyways." He said. He cut me off before I could come up with an excuse to keep him going.

"I know that what I'm doing shameful, but I know when I'm outmatched. And you have far more strength than I. So, I'm quitting the match while I'm intact."

"But what about your marefriend? Won't she want you to keep going and beat an Alicorn?" I asked, trying to find some reason to keep him in the duel.

"She is an Alicorn. And she would also understand my choice when I say I was greatly outmatched. I'm fighting the Alicorn Warrior. And there's not much I can do to change that." He said, lowering his head in defeat. I growled at him. Why was he being so difficult.

"Look, you either get out there and give everypony a good show, and show your Alicorn marefriend what you can do, or you sulk in your own ignorance, and forfeit everything you stand for! If you want to quit, fine, but just be sure to hang up your uniform as you go. The Royal Guard doesn't quit just because they are outmatched. They only quit when the order is given!" I scolded, glaring at him. I didn't know where all this anger came from, but it helped me get my point across.

He gave me a weak smile, and got up.

"You're right, The Royal Guard does not quit." He said. I got a smile and raised my hoof towards him. He just looked at me with that smile, before it turned into a frown.

"But any sensible Captain knows when it's time to retreat. That's why I am forfeiting the match, and going back to the barracks, I need to clear my head after this." He said, walking past me and took off his helmet. I stood there, not moving and glared at the wall.

"Prick." I mumbled.

---

After Shining left, it was announced that he had forfeited the match. I won by default, much to my displeasure, and went back to the cubicle with a sense of betrayal. Though he didn't break my trust, he did pussy out and quit, just like he said.

"But why would he quit? That doesn't sound like him." Said Twilight as our group began going back to the castle. The group consisted of me, Luna, Twilight, the girls, and Spike. Celestia was still at the tournament, giving the prizes to the winners. I didn't get anything because I didn't bet anything, so I left early.

"Well, duh! It's Franz, the Alicorn Warrior. That must've scared him silly not to mess with him." Said Rainbow, flying above us with a smirk. I think she remembered not to get too close since Luna was right next to me.

Twilight just groaned in annoyance.

"Darling, did you not see the amount of skill Prince Franz had when dueling your brother? While I do not condone those acts of barbarianism, I do admit, that was quite a display they showcased." Said Rarity, her fancy words making it sound like a promotion or something.

"Yeah! You were all like, wham! Pow! Pew pew with your magic, and that weird magic thing with your armor really did a number on him! I personally liked the was you sent him flying into the air and slammed him back down and shot out that magic attack, then you grabbed him and messed with him like a rag doll! Then you threw him out of the ring with that awesome finish and won the match, and everypony was all like, whoo hoo! And you went all tired and-" Good god, does she not need to breath?!

Once Pinkie finished, much to our relief, we found ourselves back at the Castle and we began our way towards the dinning hall. I was pretty hungry, and it was still only 3:17. Maybe using Magic was the reason, but I don't think I was using it.

I really wanted some sort of relief from all of this stress, and Luna did offer the perfect solution. After we ate, I was going to do what she wanted, and train some more to keep myself in shape, if I even am already. Oh, and bust a few nuts after that and call it a day. By myself, of course.

But no one needed to know that.
