Trapped into an honor duel with a griffon that he seemingly cannot possibly beat, Long Path has a secret weapon. After being relentlessly toyed with and bleeding copiously from wounds inflicted by Ravenwing's talons, he finally unleashes a magic spell adapted to earth pony magic — the thunderhoof. Knocking the griffon from the air, he is now vulnerable to attack, and Path moves in for the finishing blow. Ravenwing has decreed that the duel be until one duelist is permanently maimed. So be it!
