"Well my soldiers die because they say I can do more than they. And if that's so, then I won't die if I take a hit for you."
"I'm a tough mare." She protested. "I can braid my own mane and everything!" She stuck out her tongue.
Steel laughed, but not insultingly. "I like you. You really make this an easy trip." He said, finally ceasing his laughter.
"Well I'm glad. Thanks." Steel said, getting alert again when he heard a loud crash up ahead. "You have a weapon?"
Steel summoned an array of blades that formed a protective shield around the two. "Watch this." He said. A changeling dove from the sky, hit the shield, and was automatically spiked by the blades. "Auto-defense."
"Nice one." She said, grinning wickedly. "Try this" She turned to an oncoming wave of 30 or so changelings, and her horn's magic blasted them, leaving them dazed. She threw the dagger boomerang style, cutting the changelings, and effectively killing them. They fell to the ground with an audible thud. "Let's move on." She suggested.
Steel gave her a sarcastic look. "Nawwww, not a clue. C'mon Sparrow. Chrysalis bit my ear off...and...nevermind...oh god the other things she did to me..." Steel said with a shudder. "I'll capture her and kill her when my mother is done with her..."
"Don't be like that." Steel said softly. "You're really helping me. If there's anything I can do so you won't be sad, tell me."
