'But sacrifices are supposed to be alive! Daring was... dead...'
'...Wasn't she?'
Several seconds pass. The zompony is growing impatient.
"Mr. Shadow."
The tall ghoul glances down at her.
"Stick close to me. Be ready to use that magic shield thing when I say to."
The specter thinks for a second, then nods. Muffin Top adjusts her grip on the dagger and walks forward. The room is silent except for the clopping of her hooves and the sound of her breathing. She is soon ready within striking range. She raises the dagger like a sword, then swings it at the ropes holding Daring Do in place.
>CLINK!For a few seconds, time seems to stop. Muffin Top and the specter turn towards each other.
"Those ropes... were chains, weren't they?"
Nod.
The guardian makes a grotesque gurgling sound, and its horn glows brightly.
