"Yes, Celestia?"
"I'm going to Aslan Academy."
"Yes you are, Celestia, and you'll teach them that you aren't the defenseless unicorn shifter they believe you to be," he proclaimed.
I nodded, feeling confident.
This is my chance to prove that unicorn shifters can kick ass too.
Fear and Redemption

"You won't beat me if you don't pick up your speed, Sia!"
I frowned, my body arcing through the air to land a few feet from Magnor, who was acting as my opponent. I took a deep breath to steady my rapid heart which thrummed within my chest while my eyes darted from side to side.
I cursed, jumping to the side at the right moment; a fireball soared by me.
"ULASHA!" I commanded, aiming my hand out at the fireball that was headed for the three-hundred-year-old oak tree I was currently trying to protect.
Water burst from the ground, forming a wall in front of the tree. The fireball crashed into it, fizzling out into smoke.
I reached back to retrieve the pair of swords resting in their sheaths on my back, drawing them out in the nick of time; Magnor's sword clashed against them. I gritted my teeth at his immense power, my feet beginning to slide back from the force of his attack.
I concentrated my magic into my blades — markings on the silver blades began to light up with every second that passed. I stood my ground as he tried to push me back, in an attempt to throw me off balance and land the final blow.
I pushed forward, sending out enough of my built-up power to force him back, his body soaring into the air. I felt my body pulse with excitement as I pushed off the ground — going for a direct attack.
He lifted his hand, preparing for another attack. I crossed my swords in a defensive move, ready for whatever he was about to send at me.
"ETHERA!" he commanded; a bunch of vines shot out of the ground.
I frowned, knowing in mere seconds I'd be stabbed by vines if I didn't think of something, fast. "ASHALA!" I commanded, pushing my arms out to create a magical barrier around me. The vines crashed into the bubble I'd created. I gritted my teeth, closing my eyes to focus my attention on holding the shield.
I felt my body begin to drop toward the ground. The magic holding my body afloat began to fade.
"TORANDA FLAMASO!" I commanded; a red magic circle formed above me while a cyan magic circle appeared below my feet. The wind circled around me as a form of protection before flames emerged, coating the outer shell of the barrier and beginning to burn away all the vines. I landed on the ground, continuing to maintain the inferno spiraling around me.
I was ready to call the flames off when I heard the quick sound of footsteps approach me, right before Magnor slammed into me. We crashed in a heap on the ground, sliding to the middle of the tornado. I kicked him in the stomach with both feet, pushing him off and over my head. He let out a grunt, but was already back up and aimed to tackle me once again. I jumped up, high enough to flip over his head before landing in a crouched position.
"ROSHA!" I roared, calling upon the earth to lift up — making a wall in front of me. I sheathed my swords, concentrating my magic in the palm of my hands. Within seconds they began to form gold glitter that began to rain down and take shape — forming a bow.
I turned around and began to sprint, reaching the edge of the flaming winds. I aimed my hand directly at the center of the wall, closing my eyes.
"Shatter," I whispered, calling off both the wind and fire. They dissolved at my command, leaving a wave of smoke behind: the perfect cover.
I stood in place, concentrating on the various sounds all around me. The soothing nature breeze that brushed past me, the sound of multiple creatures in the forest and the loud exhales I currently had no control over.
I created an arrow, using the same sparkling gold glitter I had used to create my bow. I waited for the right moment, knowing my target would eventually reveal himself. I heard the snap of a branch behind me, spinning on my heel I took aim and fired.
The arrow met its mark — the smoke cleared in one giant sweep, revealing Magnor who held the arrow in his hand, the point an inch from his heart.
"Good aim,” he smirked.
I narrowed my eyes at him, knowing he must have something up his sleeve, but couldn't pinpoint what it was. "What are you planning? I automatically wo— EEP!" I began, taking a step back in an attempt to distance myself, when something wrapped around my legs, hoisting my body upward, off the ground.
"FUCK!" I screamed, looking down at an amused Magnor, his hands behind his back as he looked up at my struggling figure dangling ten feet above him.
