To Control the Very Essence of Magic Itself

The Day of the Wedding between Princes Mi Amore Cadenza...

A white unicorn with a blue mane was walking up behind Dawning in an urgent manner. He then spoke to Dawning. "Sir, the shield is reporting at full capacity and we've checked all around it. It seems that Commander Armor has managed to sustain the field fully for a couple days now."

The Batpony-Unicorn hybrid was wearing armor that was standard to the Bat guard, long, elongated points towards the torso, along with hoof guards and the standard chest piece, all in purple. He motioned the guard to  walk with him, "Shining has managed to sustain that field for a couple days now, that is pretty impressive, I'm surprised he hasn't let duty of the shield go to someone else. I guess he's trying to improve his endurance, which in this case, is a stupid move." He stopped and became pensive with placing a hoof on his chin. His face was the standard bat pony gray color, but his eyes were a dark green color with the pupils of a pony. At his mouth there were actually two fangs sticking out at both corners. His mane was trimmed to be short and was the color of a deep steel purple. "What about the sentry posts, have they noticed any movement so far?" As he spoke in a moderately deep voice.

"Nothing yet sir, we've detected no movement aside from the average train coming and going."

"Are they running thorough checks of every passenger and bag that comes into Canterlot?"

"Yes sir. Security has been tight ever since the issue was ordered. We've cataloged every single pony leaving and entering Canterlot,we even thoroughly searched the Elements."

"Good Lieutenant Prism, you can return to your post. I'll remain here and keep watch. You are dismissed"

"Sir!" He saluted and immediately left for his post.

The bells had finally began to ring from the ceremonial hall of the Canterlot Castle indicating that the wedding had begun, and the next ringing would indicate that the wedding would end. Dawning began watching the area that he was viewing for any hostiles. He continued this for a couple minutes until he spotted something far out in the distance, (although he has the normal pupil for a pony, Dawning had managed to inherit supreme vision from his father) Changelings. He immediately rushed out of his position and began to shout "Changelings incoming! All units prepare for city defense! I repeat all units prepare for city defense! All units on high alert." He summoned a spell from his that glowed a blue and a flaming sword had managed to suddenly appear on his back. Dawning was dashing towards the warning bells and tried to ring it by pulling the mechanism, but nothing began to ring. They were sabotaged... "Dammit!  Someone cut the bell off!" He began thinking and then it occurred to him "I'll send warning flares out across the city." He began to rush to the nearest open spot which was his watch balcony, on his way there though he noticed that there was a squadron patrolling he stopped to them and shouted "Alert the whole city, we've Changelings inbound on our position!" the other guards rushed towards their positions and began to alert the whole guard.

As soon as he stepped out on his balcony he realized it was already too late, Changelings had swarmed the shield and it appeared that they were already trying to puncture into the shield itself but were failing. Dawning looked down and realized that all of the guards were ready to endure this attack. He looked at the shield and it was beginning to waver until it turned into what appeared to be a sheet of glass covering the city. Then the Changelings finally punctured through and began to swarm the city. Dawning put on his commanders helmet. A fully covered bat guard helmet that ensured maximum protection against blows to the head. He then turned to the back of his room and began sprinting at full speed and jumped off his balcony.

As he soared through the air he began to quickly look for a Changeling hot spot and he suddenly found one. He then aligned himself and his horn began to glow more and more until he suddenly vanished out of mid air and suddenly appeared on the ground of his designated location. But  as he hit the ground he caused a large explosion of magic that obliterated the Changelings in the immediate vicinity and pretty much turned all of their bodies into nothing more than ash. He then spoke "Everypony inside their homes--Now!" The civilians then rushed to the nearest house or building that they could find in a panicked manner.

Dawning then began to run forward with his flaming sword on his back when all of the sudden he was jumped from behind by a Changeling from the air. The Changeling then pinned him to the ground and turned him over. The Changeling then hissed, "Submit now and you wont be harmed!"

"That's awfully cheesy, couldn't think of anything better?" He then proceeded to scream and stick his horn into the Changeling's throat and all the sudden the Changeling turned over and began to gargle and was shivering as for that was fatal blow. Dawning then took out his horn and turned around only to be greeted by even more Changelings awaiting him in battle. Dawning then unsheathed his sword with his magic and held it. He then said, "Let's see what a bunch of grunts can do to me." He then charged the Changelings and began to fight with them. He began to fight with his sword. He sent a stun burst of magic towards one and immediately charged him, catching one stunned and then with one blow managed to slice it's head off entirely. It's body immediately fell to the ground. Another one jumped on Dawninfg. Dawning reacted by issuing a heat wave spell that essentially stunned the Changeling on top of him and made it get off of him. He then proceeded to stab the changeling in the heart area and leave him for death. All of the sudden an extremely high pitched sound was heared and the Changeling's suddenly rushed him altogether. Dawning then lowered himself and suddenly jumped as soon as the Changeling's were in strike distance of his sword and aimed his sword down below and sent a shock of fire in a a circle and essentially lit on fire all of the Changelings all around him. The sound of all them trying to ward off the fire but being eaten alive by it was not a pleasant sound at all. It actually sounded like the shriek of the damned.
