Read "The Bridge: A Shimmer in the Dark" here! www.fimfiction.net/story/33407…
The shrub leaves began to shift, not from movement within but from heat. They withered and turned brown as the water evaporated out of them, before finally igniting. Rodan felt a surge of power emanating out from the now burning cover and an illuminated outline become visible through the flames. A powerful, echoing voice ripped across the air once the outline got close enough that the equine form became visible.
"You dare?!"
-Uh oh…-
Rodan shot into the air quick enough to kick up a shockwave, fortunately just barely fast enough to avoid getting hit by the three meter wide beam of fiery magic shooting past him. Taking enough time to glance back to see the affects of the fire blast, Rodan was left wide eyed upon seeing it had managed to cleanly burn through several trees and a boulder in a perfect, circular cut before being cut off. Rodan looked back at the shrubs and didn’t even need to think before his eyes focused in on the source of the blast.
Sunset Shimmer didn’t know what exactly this monster of a gryphon had hit her with, dark magic can cause all manner of unpredictable and dangerous mutations seeing as Nightmare Moon wanted only the best for her army. But, in the milliseconds between the beam being close enough for her to feel the heat coming off it and actually being hit by it, she’d fortunately realized what it’s chief component was. It was rare for one of the shadow beasts or cultists to use fire magic, but that was either what this monster was using or at least it was something very similar. Similar enough for her to use those blood enchantments Celestia had helped her get. Blood magic was a dangerous deal and could easily be a double edged sword. But once one had their specialty, it was more than easy to exploit it. In her case, it turned her into a fire magic sponge. Nothing less one would expect from the adoptive daughter of a sun goddess and sibling to a dragon.
Rodan had just shot her with a power-up.
The unicorn princess stepped into the clearing again, her hooves burning small bits of flame into the dirt and grass beneath her. A thin red and orange aura slithered across her outline; emanating from the bright glow that had consumed her cutiemark. With every pulse from her heartbeat, bits of light coursed through her veins and arteries in a way that was visible through her skin. The charge up had also added an echoing distortion to her voice.
“Do you know what burnt gryphon smells like?”
Those were the last words Rodan heard before he saw another stream of fire magic, easily twice the size of the last one, shooting towards him. Acting on instinct, he fired up his mana streams and tore open his jaws into an air splitting shriek that was chased by his own fiery beam.
Almost like some bizarre parody of a snowball fight, Rodan and Sunset Shimmer hit each other again and again with one flaming attack after another. Each successive barrage becoming more and more powerful. Every time the struggles were about to cease, either by Rodan trying to dive down and tackle the unicorn or Sunset attempting to use some other magic on the gryphon, it would fail due to Rodan being too fast to lock onto by spell but the fast charging pyro-spells and Sunset’s teleporting keeping her constantly out of range. And with enough airspace for Rodan to fly around with and the constant power boosts she was getting negating any stamina problems; neither one of them was running out of steam any time soon.
Rocks melted, ground was charred, and trees burned by convection heat alone frying them. Another struggle of mana charged plasma and magic fueled fire resulted in another stalemate. At this point Sunset Shimmer’s aura glow was bright and large enough that it was beginning to give her an alicorn-like outline, and Rodan’s glyphs and runes were beginning to swell with light themselves from the power increase.
