Return of Nightmare Moon

Underneath the robe, she had on a black t-shirt that showed a pony skull and two bones crossed together, a green pair of jeans, and a pair of black combat boots. Her hair was almost like her mother's, except it was all different shades of green instead of rainbow colored. She pulled out a long sword that looked like it should belong in an FF game. The blade was completely silver and had a black wrapped handle, on the end of it dangled a key chain of a vial filled with green liquid.

"So, tell me. Why are you in such a hurry to die?" The assassin asked.

"I'm not. I just have a duty to the princess. One that I will serve in full." Wind replied.

"Interesting. Tell me, how will you fulfill this duty if your mind is broken?" She asked.

"Enough talk! Let's get on with it, I'm running out of time!" Wind yelled as she ran toward the unicorn with her sword drawn.

The assassin side stepped and dodged her attack. Wind kept trying to attack, but the assassin kept dodging. Finally Wind managed to land a blow, but, the blade passed through the assassin like she were a ghost.

"What the..." Wind said.

"Fool! You cannot hurt me here, this is my domain!" The assassin said as she struck Wind with her sword.

Wind flew back several feet and felt as if she had been hit by a speeding scooter. Wind bit back a curse as she stood up and looked at the assassin, who was standing there smiling at her smugly. Wind remembered what Luna had said about a hidden ability the sword had.

"Okay, sword. Anytime you wanna help me out would be good." She said as she looked at her reflection in the blade.

'You do not possess the necessary attributes to wield me at full power.' A voice said in her head.

"Okay, first off, how the hell am I talking to a sword. Second, what do you mean I don't possess the necessary attributes?" Wind asked.

'You have fear in your heart. Only by facing down that fear will you be able to properly wield me.' The sword said in her head.

Wind sighed and looked up at the assassin, who was looking at her with a confused look on her face.

"Loosing your mind already?" She asked.

Wind just ran at her and lashed out again.

"Pssh. You bore me. Let's see what you are afraid of, shall we?" The assassin said as she threw some kind of black powder into Wind's face.
