Char Save: 2

Leper would shake her head, finally feeling the intruding mind leave her body. However, moments after, she felt a violent chill run down her spine, and she'd look around, before spotting Nightmare Moon, and shrunk away from her, feeling a horrible chill all along her body. She didn't even want to fight against her now! But her friends (who she'd tried to kill, though not of her own will). She'd look around, before looking back to the fight, only to see an attack coming at her!

Dex Save: 18

She wasn't fast enough, and got hit by it, staggering a bit away. She'd shake her head, looking up at Nightmare Moon, before looking at the Dragon, only for acid to splash across her body, searing her flesh and marring her skin, making her scream out in pain, wishing she could clinch her eyes shut.

Thankfully, it was over quickly, and she'd look up, only to catch claws across her face, making her grunt, looking away, leaping a short distance, trying to put some distance between them and herself, so she'd stop getting hit by a bunch of bullshit! She'd seethe, looking to Expellix, "Don't hit me! I'm alright!" She'd yell, shaking her head. She'd look around, before standing on her hind legs, leaning on her sword. She'd then look at Nightmare Moon, and shiver, before charging forward to swing.

Hit One: Miss!
Hit Two: Miss!

She'd come to a grinding halt, staring with bewilderment at the fact she'd not manage to hit at all. She'd look back, before trying to move away, not wanting to get hit again!

Assailant Avedon Cyan Hide GeneralTyrus Dumbledoof
ALL PLAYERS: Don't forget to re-roll for the fear aura if you failed it the first round.

It looked like the group was doing pretty well so far. Expellix had certainly done the most damage to the creature, followed by Arc. Unfortunately for Starlight, her Arcane Barrage had deflected off of Nightmare's scales and left a hole in the cavern ceiling. Nightmare looked like she was moderately hurt from their attacks, but certainly wasn't going down anytime soon. She looked around for Avedon who she wanted to attack, but couldn't find him and was momentarily confused! During her confusion, Trixie acted.

With Trixie having held her action in the previous few second, she spent her pent up magic to get everyone back on their hooves; starting with Avedon! Although she couldn't see him, she could reach out with her magic to sense his shadow aura and knew where to land the proper spell. Avedon would feel a flood of holy light fill him, sealing his wounds almost completely closed! In that same action Trixie used her innate control over magic to twist that spell, that should have been only meant for a single pony, and sent it also hurtling at Leper.

AVEDON AND LEPER: You both regain 160 HP.

As part of her next action, Trixie called upon her inner reserves of power to replenish some of her magic, and then was about to cast a spell to heal the rest of the group... when she felt something very strange coming over her. Some sort of power unlocked deep inside of her, and Trixie could feel her body beginning to change. "UHM." was all she tried to get out as her body shifted, and her voice deepened. She grew to an enormous height, almost as tall as Nightmare Moon herself, and a pair of massive silvery wings sprouted from her back.

MASTERY SPELL USED: SHAPECHANGE (Adult Silver Dragon) = 3 rounds

".... Haha, Trixie said she was a dragon and nobody listened!" She mocked for a few moments, before realizing that they were still dealing with a dragon deity primordial thing trying to kill them. At least she was more apt to draw its attention away from the others, though Trixie knew she was no match for this creature. Rather than worry about her safety, Trixie lunged at Nightmare Moon, her maw dripping icy saliva onto the ground. A burst of cold erupted from Trixie's maw, soaking over Nightmare Moon and the cavern, painting the walls with ice crystals.

The breath weapon really didn't seem to bother Nightmare Moon at all, but what did bother her was when Trixie bit her on the neck. She screeched as the silver dragons teeth sank into her neck, and then one of Trixie's claws came up to rend Nightmare's flesh. The other claw unfortunately missed and glanced off Nightmare's thick scales.

Nightmare Moon wasn't a super happy dragon right now, and was actually beginning to look injured. She ripped herself free of Trixie's jaws before shooting a line of acid right at her. The acid also splashed off and hit Expellix and Leper!

EXPELLIX AND LEPER: Make a DC 22 Dexterity Save, taking 74 damage on a failed save or 37 on a successful one.

Funnily enough, Expellix still hurt Nightmare Moon worse than Trixie did, so she would be splitting her attacks between them. Nightmare Moon lashed out at Trixie with her own pair of jaws, which were dripping with corrosive acid. Her stronger teeth easily pierced through Trixie's silver dragon hide, especially with the aid of the acid. Trixie let out a pained roar as the acid worked into her system and Nightmare Moon just about tore her throat out! (Critical hit, whoops).

For good measure, Nightmare Moon also raked a claw across Trixie's hide, causing silver scales to fall to the ground, mixed with droplets of silver blood.

With Trixie currently in her jaws, Nightmare turned her sights on Expellix. As he was bouncing around, Nightmare Moon simply lashed out with her tail and struck the rabbit, sending him careening against the wall. As he hit the wall her clawed fist soon followed, lashing out at him and sending him tumbling across the cave.

EXPELLIX: Hit with tail (30) for 26 damage. Hit with claw (35) for 23 damage.

Now free of the dragon's maw, she felt a sharp rise in magical energy from behind her. She turned to look, and saw the rest of her party minus Trixie, but in her place, a giant silver dragon. Despite the fact that this was a large dragon, Starlight could tell it was Trixie instantly from the overjoyed, giddy and cocksure way in which she carried herself. She had the swagger of somebody who'd just discovered a cheat code to life. Starlight chuckled at the next thing Trixie said, which was such a Trixie thing to say in this situation. Pumped up, and now feeling that they could win, Starlight turned back to face Nightmare Moon, and cheered her marefriend on as loudly as she could while the dragons started to fight up close.

Starlight gasped when Trixie got bitten, and scratched! Trixie quickly blessed Trixie with the Blessing of Protection, then attacked Nightmare Moon with a Mind Blast, to try to weaken her mind and make her less of a threat to Trixie. Hopefully, this should tip the balance back into her marefriend's favour.


Mind Blast (To-hit): Int Save DC = 20.

Avedon felt his strength quickly return as Healie's waves of powerful magic flowed into him once again, restoring worn muscles, warming blood and body that slow grew colder and more distant to life, making his hair grow annoyingly long on the sides, ruining his hooficure as it grew out again...nukes of life-alteringly powerful healing magic aimed blindly through the battle-field sort of weren't exactly the most precise on what they were restoring!
"...thanks. Thanks Trixie."
Avedon mumbled. It was hard to be legitimately upset at her for doing her best and helping save his life...he just had to help her with her aim one day.

He flew up, blade bared and he dove towards the dragon, sticking it into the wounds Trixie opened up in the dragon's powerful hide, just digging it into the rapidly closing wound, the splatter of her dark blood framing his body as he opened up a target
"Now! Hit her with everything you have! She can bleed - She can die like the rest of her kind! We owe it to our world to put this horror down once and for all! No matter the cost!"

Expellix really couldn't believe his eyes when Trixie just suddenly turned into a mother fucking dragon. Now there were two of them in the cavern—was this place really big enough for two of them? Maybe it wasn't the best question to have at the moment. There were better things to be worrying about at the moment. That thing was Dragonmare Moon. Who was... spitting some acid at them. Man, he was getting tired of dodging the same thing over and over.

Dexterity Save: 24 (11, +13)

Instead of just jumping through some hole in the liquid, he took the very simple route and jumped. Really, really high. He way cleared the top of the acid that was spit at himself and Leper, completely avoiding the attack, while also doing a little flip in the air when at the apex of his jump, coming back down to the ground smoothly, and definitely not landing in any lingering pools of acid. Nope. That did not happen. No, really.

When he was facing Dragonmare Moon again... wait, why was she looking at him?

"BITCH—ACK!" That came the claws, smashing into him, but he wasn't fighting it at all. Instead, he actually ran with the swipe to reduce the actual impact against him. He was still sent rolling and tumbling, but it didn't do as much as it could have. But claws came soon after, just barely slashing him, but 'just barely' meant a good hit because he was a rabbit. Ow. He was starting to look a little worn down.

But now since he wasn't being attacked anymore, he glared at them. "You know, I'm not normally one for these kind of jokes, but it really just sounds like you've got people problems! Ever thought about getting some therapy!?" He lunged forward at their face, axes in hand, and just went to town. "Because I think it'd really help your psychosomatic sociopathy!"

Assailant Avedon Cyan Hide GeneralTyrus Dumbledoof
Trixie felt her silver scales harden from Starlight's magic and went after Nightmare Moon with all the strength she could muster. Once again her cold breath rolled over Nightmare Moon, barely damaging the creature. Trixie's claws and bite were a pitiful display, with her attacks barely even able to scratch the primordial dragons scales. Her bite did sink in pretty far though.

Once again, the dragon overcame Starlight's magic. As Starlight tried to rend Nightmare's mind, the dragon just turned to regard her with an amused expression. Starlight would immediately know that her spell had no effect, but at least her buff on Trixie would help! Luckily for the group, Avedon and Expellix were pulling their weight! Dragonmare Moon was beginning to look damaged severely.

As Avedon danced around the dragon and slashed at his legs, the creature turned to regard him. "Your invisibility cannot hide your scent..." it said before lurching out at him with one of its claws, striking him hard in the side and sending the bat pony rolling away.

AVEDON: Hit with a claw for a total of 28.

With Avedon having been punished, the dragon turned to look at Expellix. "Small. Insignificant. To a thing like me, a thing like you is nothing!" she mocked him, before responding to his vicious attack with a brutal one of her own. Her serpentine eyes tracked the rabbit as he bounced around, and then with a terrifyingly precise attack she lashed out with her jaws and swallowed the rabbit! And then, while he was inside of her mouth, she used her breath weapon. He would be hard pressed to avoid that.

As Dragonmare Moon soaked Expellix in its acidic breath, it then opened its mouth and dropped him in order to spray the acid at Trixie and Leper... again! Trixie actually somehow moved her bulky ass out of the way to avoid most of it.

EXPELLIX: Take 35 damage from the bite. Make a DC 22 Dexterity Save, without benefiting from any source of advantage. On a fail, take 50 damage, or half as much on a success. Evasion will not work.

LEPER: Make a DC 22 Dexterity Save. On a fail, take 50 damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success.

To finish things off, Dragonmare Moon turned her attention to Starlight. She decided to give this one a single claw, before turning the rest of her attacks on Trixie! Her tail slammed into the silver dragoness hard enough to knock her into the cavern wall.

STARLIGHT: Take 28 damage from the claw.

Starlight got up on the ground, battered and bleeding, but above all furious that this dragon was treating Starlight like an afterthought. The worst part was that Starlight wasn't exactly proving her wrong. That had to change. Starlight Glimmer, a unicorn so powerful she once threatened the very fabric of time, should not be batted around with such a lack of respect. she gritted her teeth and stood up. She'd have to show Nightmare Moon exactly the calibre of wizard she was messing with!

She used her magic to create three dopplegangers, and together the four of them tried to flank Nightmare Moon from all sides. All four appeared to cast very real and moderately powerful spells of all magic trees, but only Starlight's Scorching Ray was real.

Leper, in her daze, had been hit multiple times, and was too slow on reacting to the next set of attacks, seething from the pain she felt from the powerful strikes. She could feel herself getting more tired as the fight drew on, and was beginning to worry a great deal.

Leper was in shock at how the fight was going, still raging however, she'd just glare at the massive mare that was the source of her problems. She'd overcome her fear, and now was about to start thrashing the mare. If she could.

Attack One
Hit: Miss!
Attack Two
Hit: Fumble!

Leper would recoil from the pain of all the hits she'd suffered, but thankfull she wasn't dead. Thanks Trix, she'd have to thank her later though. She'd look at the goddess that was giving them trouble... And she couldn't even hit her. She felt pretty terrible right now. She'd zoned out there for a minute, after having missed already, and now she was missing again!

"This is just fuckin' terrible!" She'd say, continuing to stay on the move, trying to avoid getting hit like she had again. She didn't want to end up dead here, not to the likes of this... Creature.

  As the group carried out the battle, Arc quickly looked over the terrain nearby. As he examined the cave and the dragon they were fighting, a multitude of ideas swam through his head. After a few seconds, he nodded. Back in his day, the Shifters were experts at utilizing their terrain and environments on the fly. Even in pony territory, the sheer wit of a Shifter allowed them to often gain hoofholds using the terrain in ways that the ponies hadn't even considered. In order to fight a Shifter, he had to learn to think like one. And that came with some benefits.
  
  Alright, time to test out his ideas.
  
  Using the natural earthen nature of the cave to his advantage, he decided to put his runes to some good work. "Anyone who can use range, take refuge. You'll be safer!" With that, he raised walls of earth.

Expellix rolled his eyes at that. "Oh yeah, sure, make height jokes..." He mumbled in reply. Now that she was currently a dragon, she could totally just make fun of his short stature. Not that it was really all too difficult before anyhow.

But he had other things to worry about at the moment. Her head was getting closer and he came out of his annoyance just in time to... "OH GODS." He screeched, trying to scramble away, but was inevitably snatched up by her. The acid instantly stung his flesh, making him wince and desperately look for some way out in the darkness. This was really a time where he wished that he could see like Luna!

Dexterity Save: 25 (12, +13)

Which, he actually managed to do! Being as tiny as he is, there was just enough space for him to not get chomped by hiding in the gaps between her teeth, using them as a shield against the acid! All that acid was really stinging and he wasn't quite sure how he was going to make it out of this one. His vision was getting kind of fuzzy...

There was a light suddenly, shining between a gap in their teeth, and he had to really force himself to get up and take the opportunity. He used a tooth as a springboard and leapt for the gap...

Dexterity Save: 21 (8, +13)

... And he made it through! The little rabbit was hurting pretty badly, and pretty much just fell straight to the ground, splatting on the ground, panting. Much of his fur had been dissolved away, leaving angry red flesh in its place.

Assailant Avedon Cyan Hide GeneralTyrus Dumbledoof
To Starlight's credit, she was the only one to actually injure Dragonmare Moon this time around... it just wasn't enough. Things were looking bad for the group, but things were also looking bad for Dragonmare Moon; a slip up on either side could lose them the fight. Dragonmare Moon was just looking around right now, deciding what she should do. The rabbit was weak, that much she could tell... she could finish him right now. Possibly the annoying purple mare too, though there were now many of her. A parlor trick...

That's when Dragonmare Moon saw her real target appear. Trixie, who saw that the group needed healing, let her dragon shapeshift revert so that she could take her regular form and begin healing. Dragonmare Moon knew that Trixie was the actual one holding this group together, knew that she had kept the shadowy pegasus and ugly mare from deaths embrace already once. If she let Trixie cast a healing spell, it would likely ensure her enemies victory...

Trixie hadn't even gotten a spell ready before she found the dragons claws coming for her! Trixie used her magic to blink away, only to be bit on the leg and listed into the air. The dragon threw Trixie into the air and let a line of acid again spew from her mouth, which solidly struck Trixie and melted a good portion of skin off of her body.

That acid also splashed over and hit Avedon and Leper!

AVEDON AND LEPER: Make a DC 22 Dexterity Saving Throw, taking 73 damage on a failure or 37 on a success.

As Trixie was soaked in flesh eating acid, the last thing that she saw was a massive tail coming at her in the air. That blow snuffed the last of Trixie's life force out as it crushed her body and sent her flying against the wall, leaving a bloody stain where she landed. No amount of healing magic could fix that.

With the last of its attacks, the dragon lashed out at Starlight. Or at least, the one that the dragon thought was Starlight. Not only did it guess right, but its claws dug into Starlight much deeper than they regularly would have.

STARLIGHT: Hit the real Starlight. Critical hit. Take 35 damage.

  Arc watched Trixie fall with more annoyance than sympathy. "Well, so much for using the walls for cover." Arc cracked his neck and faced down the dragon. "I guess if you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself." With that, he held his hooves aloft and unleashed a powerful barrage of projectiles, slamming into the dragon with great force. "I fought Shifter royalty, you're nothing bud."

Expellix was dazed from how much damage he had suffered in such quick succession. Man, who knew that dragons kinda packed a punch when possessed by an insane Primordial? He slowly got up, shaking his head, trying to clear his vision and ignore the stinging pain in his everything currently. He needed to get back up. The others needed him to get back up right now...

Which was rather unfortunate, because just as he got up, he got to see Trixie revert form her dragon form. There was a small hope... and then it was squashed, literally and metaphorically. She seemed all nice and fine, able to just whip up a healing spell, and then... nothing. There was just a bloody stain on the ground left where she had originally been. His eyes widened to saucers and the world seemed to drop out from underneath. That was nothing in comparison to what Starlight was likely feeling.

"TRIXIE!" He screamed, running for the spot, but then stopped. Stay calm. Just had to stay calm... they could do this. They could totally still do this. "STARLIGHT! WISH! RIGHT NOW! EVERYBODY ELSE, KILL THAT FUCKING DRAGON!"

He reached out with both hands, Insight and Judgment flying into his hands, both blistering with fire and frost suddenly. Black anger welled up inside of him, coming to the surface, and he was ready to kill. Battered, bruised, burned beyond belief, and he was leaping at Nightmare Moon, with some adrenaline fueled, desperate attempt at ending this fight once and for all. This couldn't keep going, they were down one and he was barely standing.

He didn't actually aim for the eyes this time. Instead, he just went for the throat, and swung both axes as hard as he could to try and slice it wide open. "FROM ME TO YOU, CHOKE ON IT!"

Starlight wouldn't have been found out as the real one if she hadn't been distracted by Trixie reverting to her pony form. She was in trouble. Unfortunately, taking her eye off Nightmare Moon had consequences, and Starlight was clawed and knocked out of the sky, landing close to where Trixie's bloodied body was after getting tail whipped into the wall. Starlight was worried of course, but she didn't actually believe Trixie was dead, until she crawled closer and saw the extend of the damage. She had been crushed. Starlight didn't even have to check for a pulse, but she did anyway. It was a stupid move. Of course she was dead.

The wind was knocked out of Starlight. The room was spinning. Her head was getting hot and she started to feel dizzy. Every sound was muffled, as if underwater. No. This didn't just happen. Starlight looked up to see Expellix deliver the finishing blow on Nightmare Moon but although that brought some catharsis it couldn't help her pain. She needed Trixie back. Despite it's incredibly risky nature, she needed to use Wish.

Too emotional to think, she disregarded the usual care she took whenever using this spell, and shouted aloud "I wish! I wish! I wish! I Wish to revive Trixie back to life!"

And all you have to say is, "Better do it myself"?!" She'd yell, glaring daggers at Arc. She'd stomp upto him, before standing on her hind legs, glaring down at him, Sword in hoof, "You have disrespected someone that fought beside you! Why would you say such horrible things?!"

She'd say, jumping back away, before turning, rushing to Trixie, "Trixie, please, do not fade into the night... You have people here... That need you now, more than ever." She'd say, casting a glance at Starlight.

She'd look back at Arc one more time, growling, before trying to help Star with Trixie, not knowing she'd just be able to bring her back to life, to caught up in the moment to have heard her make the wish.

Avedon limped out from the back of the cave where he had been flicked, one wing broken and folded down close over his body, made all the more ominous for the last of his Shadowform that still clung and poured from his body. A monster that had hung over him as far back as he could remember lay dead, a creature that had stolen nearly everything good and pure from his life...and had now just taken one more. The first pony he had ever found a friend in broken and melting. There was no joy in this victory for him. Through the last echoes of the fight though, he heard something that funneled the wave of confusion and poured that black mood into a single, well-defined point...Arc. Avedon spoke slowly, each word ringing clear and quiet without ever raising his voice.

"Don't you dare gloat toad. You survived by hiding in Trixie's shadow. A mistake that can always be easily fixed."
His blade, still covered in Nightmare's blood ran across Arc's horn in a clean sweep even as his face smoldered from the flames of Leper's strike, the pommel of the blade knocking down into his back and slowly forcing him low

Attack 1:
9+15 = 24
25 + 4
29 damage

"ON YOUR KNEES!!!"
Avedon's voice broke finally, the deepest rage he had ever felt pouring out in the air, made all the more terrible by a certain cold precision to his every movement.
"...and show some respect for a better mare than you..."

Avedon's free hoof pulled out his revolved and aimed at Arc's leg, the shadow-infused blast lancing into the mage's leg and taking it clean off, searing it shut with a burning black fire as he'd crumple low

Attack 2: Crit
18 + 15 + 6 + Smite 60
99 Damage

"A better STALLION even..."

Avedon was livid, but careful with his strikes, not killing him, no, not yet anyways. He picked up the unicorn and dangled him over the pool of acid that oozed from the dragon

"Now...while your eyes still have some sight left in them, look over to Starlight as she mourns a hero you dared to insult, and tell her why....WHY she should possibly say anything or care if I feed you into the pool of acid hooves first."

  Arc teleported away, narrowly dodging one of the shots, before glaring at them. "Did you get it out of your system yet? I wasn't saying anything bad about her, rather I was inspiring my own sense of self-confidence. It's not exactly a unheard of tactic. I'm sorry about her, but look-" he gestured over to Starlight using Wish. "Maybe give me a bit more credit than that. I've seen too many ponies I actually care about die to get all distraught when one I barely know does. If you guys care about her, then I'm sorry for your possibly temporary loss, I really am, but don't expect me to be in tears over someone I've known for a few hours. She fought well, she died well, that's how this stuff goes. You all knew what you were signing up for."
  
  Arc washed some magic over him, stitching his wounds together.

  "Besides, I understand you may be grieving, but taking it out on an ally is unacceptable even still." With that, Arc pulled out his journal and began scrawling notes in, huffing and murmuring under his breath. After a few moments, he pocketed the journal and began using his earth rune to make a hole in the ground.

As Starlight began to once again tap into the unlimited cosmic energies of the universe, the air inside the cavern grew cold. Her words echoed out as if she was possessed by Harmony herself, though in truth that was simply the effect of harnessing such powerful magic. As the final word of her wish filled the air, a great blue light shone from her eyes and horn, blinding all of those looking! There was a great chorus coming from the heavens above, and then....!

Nothing happened.

There was no answer from Harmony this time. The Universe heard Starlight's plea, saw the pain and sorrow etched on her face, and found her unworthy. As the magic of Wish left the room, Starlight was left alone with the burning corpse of her lover, who even now was being eaten through by the left over acid from the dragon. It was a pretty well known fact that once a Wish was used by a pony for a specific task, if could never be used in that exact same way again. So Trixie was lost. Gone.

A cackling laugh appeared from the dragons corpse as a gaseous smoke filled the air, and once again reformed into Nightmare Moon. She looked heavily damaged, but not dead. "Don't bother wasting your time, you don't have strong enough magic to kill me. I'm half impressed that you killed my meat suit, however. For that, I will spare you." She chuckled before coming to land in front of Starlight, looking down at the broken body of Trixie.

"... What would you give to have her back?"

Expellix was rather quiet after Dragonmare Moon had fallen dead, throat slit open, and just... seemed to stand there. He stared at the corpse with a neutral expression. So this was done and over with, Nightmare Moon gone... or so they thought. Too bad actually killing Primordials was a lot harder task than any of them was capable of. He only actually seemed to become conscious again when Nightmare Moon had reappeared and the Wish failed.

Since she wasn't attacking them, he didn't really care to attack her again. Nor was he really feeling it much anymore from how badly he hurt. There was somebody else, however...

Expellix teleported behind Arc, clenching both of his axes tightly, and instead just bashed him over the back of the head with the axes. "Then deal with this possibly temporary headache when you wake up." He really wanted to kill this asshole, but it would probably be worse if he did. It wasn't exactly his place to decide who lives and who dies in this scenario anyway. His telekinesis came to life and he'd just toss their unconscious form away from the rest of the acid.

After that, he walked over to Starlight and Trixie, frowning up at Nightmare Moon. "What exactly are you bargaining for here? One of our lives for hers?"

"Oh we don't have the magic to destroy her essence entirely...but as weak and wasted as she is, you DO have the magic with your wish to leave her so utterly broken, sealed, and wasted that she spends the rest of her days as nothing but a tiny thought screaming alone until the sun grows cold on this rock...If you think I don't feel Trixie's loss as sharply as you two you'd be mistaken, but I know damn well she'd take any other option than allowing the bitch that killed her to get ANY respite from this..."

Starlight waited for Trixie to come back to her . She waited, but nothing was happening. How? How could Wish fail? Starlight could feel the magic die down until she was just left with the corpse of her marefriend. She was too stunned to even cry. She just stood at that spot like a statue She never wanted to move. To leave this place would be to accept a life without Trixie and she couldn't do that. At least if she stayed here, she'd still be with Trixie in some sense.

That's when she heard the cackling, as the essence of Nightmare reformed into an ethereal visage. Starlight wasn't surprised. Nightmare, like Discord, was technically eternal. Well, you could probably kill them if you were a literal deity, but even this group had no chance. Avedon brought up a good point. Like the Elements of Harmony before them, they had a magic strong enough to neutralise if not kill her, and that was Wish. Ave was actually close to convincing her to use it to end Nightmare once and for all, until Nightmare then offered to bring Trixie back, for a price. Untrustworthyness aside, Starlight knew that Nightmare Moon had the power.

Starlight first turned to look at Avedon. "I know all that, but don't talk about Trixie like she's already dead! She's not gone while there's still a chance I can bring her back!"

She then turned to Nightmare. "I would give anything and everything that's in my power to give to get Trixie back."

"...Very well Starlight. I can't tell you how to grieve or what to give for it."
Avedon loathed the trickster before them...but he was not so ready to bid his friend goodbye to push the issue further. There may be more deaths and battles in the future, but he knew for certain the heavy price of this one if they did not find a way to mend it. So he stayed silent and watched. He was not a man for either regrets or half-measures, he was set to this course as much as the rest by his complacency in whatever came next.

Nightmare Moon was just staring at Expellix as he wandered over and practically murdered one of his allies... and then she burst out laughing. "Why did I even bother fighting you ponies, when it seems you're so eager to kill each other anyway?" She asked with a little grin at the rabbit... before her grin just disappeared as he started speaking to her. "You're a cute little thing, but my words are for Starlight Glimmer alone. Begone little... thing." Her mane reached over and smacked him lightly on the nose!

With that being said, the massive black mare wrapped a wing around Starlight which felt... oddly comfortable... and led her away from the group. Whatever it was they were talking about, Nightmare Moon nor Starlight were actually making a peep of sound.

Whatever it was that Starlight and Nightmare Moon were talking about, nobody could hear. They would, however see Starlight deep in thought, brow furrowed, considering something incredibly intensely for almost twenty seconds, before finally nodding and talking to Nightmare Moon some more. It seemed that whatever the 'anything' that Nightmare was asking of Starlight, she had accepted.

She turned back to the group after they were finished. From the look on her face, the weight of her decision was weighing on her mind and leaving a sour taste in her mouth. She trotted near Trixie's body, and looked back to Nightmare Moon expectantly. She barely even looked at anybody else.
