A/N: A prize for Twi, of TwiLanes! As I'm sure everyone has figured out by now, I am having just the slightest bit of trouble coming up with the snippets. All prizes will be written and posted, though it may take me a week or so to work through them all. The sibling/child challenge was a killer!
"Tired yet?" hisses Ember, slowly slithering across the floor of the apartment, closer to his owner.
Quicksilver narrows her eyes and snorts at her helper. "No, I'm not! Twilight said that I needed to learn this spell, and I haven't yet."
The tip of the silver unicorn's horn begins to glow a soft yellow. Lavender eyes grow a shade darker and so does the room itself, as every bit of light is pulled from its source to be used, instead, as power for the spell.
Fading light catches on the young salamander's scales, igniting them into dying flames, and then her yellow eyes are the only thing in the entire room that can be seen. "You rest."
"Not yet," mutters Quicksilver, through gritted teeth. A moment later and the magick bursts forth, filling the room with such a bright light that she is blinded.
When it clears, the shadows are still very much there.
