The pinto decided to use a surprise move. She acted as if she would throw her knife, but at the last second she drove her knife into Discord's neck. He fell back with a startled scream and the pinto pinned him down with her front hooves, then looked up at the audience.
"I must admit, he fought well for a beast used to magical combat. Should i spare his life?" she asked.
The audience and judges looked at each other, then at the 'Demon of the Rings'.
Discord looked up at the insane mare. Her blade was at his throat, and she'd wounded him so he couldn't use his full magic to beat her.
"Kill him," said one of the judges. "You know our audiences- they like to see blood."
"Very well," said the mare. She raised her knife, about to slash down, and her enemy shut his eyes. But instead of killing him, she drove her dagger into the ground right by his head.
"As the Demon of the Rings," said Storm Clouds, "I say my enemy should be spared- he's already been humiliated- a pony beat him up- which is more than enough punishment for someone as arrogant as he is!"
The crowd cheered, and the pinto mare stood aside as one of the judges placed an olive leaf-modeled crown of gold on her head.
"The Demon of the Rings remains undefeated!" cried Blackheart over the crowd.
"Thank you," said the mare, "But i'd best leave, and i'm afraid i better bring my foe along."
"Are you getting soft?" asked the ghost.
"Of course not- i just feel it would be all the more humiliating if this creature had to admit a pony beat him up!"
"That's the mare i know!" said the ghost, magically teleporting Storm and her defeated adversary to the Everfree forest, the arena vanishing seconds after.
