Chapter 8 : Igris Sent Me to La La Land...

Cobalt was getting exhausted from all the the ducking and diving he had to do to stay clear from Igris sword. His spear was designed for long distance shots, which the knight deflected, and for stabbing, which could not make a dent against his opponents armour.

"Could we have not just talked things out," muttered Cobalt, rolling to the left as the Igris's blade came hurtling down. "I mean we are both Rune bearers and all."

"So, you want another heart to heart talk with him ?," giggled Violet.

Cobalt grumbled. He tried to talk to the commander before the fight started only to get hit with the flat of his blade, right on the nose, and was sent flying towards the bookcase, causing all the books to fall on him, well a huge pony Latin dictionary to be more specific.Who says words would never hurt.

"My nose is still paining," complained Cobalt, attempting to stab the knight.

"Stop whining like a little foal," said Violet, her tone showing amusement. "You got bigger problems to deal with."

The fight was going nowhere and Cobalt's evasion tactics were getting slower. He used too much of his runic power. Cobalt gritted his teeth. Out of the runes, the rune of perception was the weakest, in terms of power that is. He represented awareness and intelligence meant for planning attacks not getting involved in them. Sure he could fight but his range of foes he could fight only go up to light armoured opponents and not a frickin 3m tall bipedal monster with smoke coming of his body like a rock concert stage effects.

"Private Cobalt !"

Out of the corner of his eye Cobalt saw his Sergeant and squad, staring at him as he fought Igris.

"Dammit, the bunny is out of the bag," muttered Cobalt. His identity of being a bearer has been exposed.

"Should it not be ' the cats out of the bag ' ? "

"Does it really matter ? The better question would be to ask is what are we going to do?. There is no ways I'm leaving Canterlot."

"I understand that your friends are here and this being your home but you are a bearer and you-"

SLAM !

The impact from Igris sword caused Cobalt to fall unconscious before he could even hit the wall.
