Nivalia charges up her horn and fires a blast of magic at her attacker who was hovering overhead. He rolls to the side, the blast breaking through the roof and continuing into the sky. Diving down, he scoops up a potted plant and throws it at her; the changeling catching it with her magic and hurling it right back. She misses but throws the pegasus off guard, enough for her to take to the air and tackle him out of the sky. The two crash into a long table with several cases and plants, glass and dirt scattering all over the ground as the two wrestle for control.

Looking up, the rogue sees the princess of love, knowing that she could only have shown up if she was informed. Spinning Nivalia around he knocks out her hind legs and pulls her up by the hair. "Don't make a move!" He shouts, lifting the serrated blade to Nivalia's neck. "Come any closer and she dies!"

Nivalia cries in pain as she struggles to break free, her concentration too broken to use magic. She opens her eyes to find Cadence there, the mare reducing her movements in surprise of who just happened to appear.
