The claws came down on Aurora and they hit the ground. Nothing was there, nothing but Aurora's cloak and hat. Some bone fragments were also scattered here and there. What came next was a surprise to all of them. Aurora materialized behind the spirit and had a devilish grin plastered on his face. His right eye was burning a golden ethereal flame and he was floating. He summoned another dragon skull, this one was significantly larger than any of the ponies, and it too, had an ethereal flame in its right eye-socket. The skull had appeared next to the wolf and was firing raw magic before it could do anything to get out of the way. After the blast of raw magic, Aurora summoned a body for the skull, and a body it got. two hind legs, two forelegs, and two arms, and a whole lot of skeleton in between. The last thing Aurora did was move all of his magic to a protective shield covering the new skeleton creature. This removed all shields he had place before this on anypony who had them. With that, Aurora teleported to the opposite side of the cave, distancing himself from the spirit so he could catch his breath, and for other, more personal reasons that could cost him his life. His right eye continued to burn with the golden ethereal flame, clearly showing that he was still a major threat.
The skeletal creature roared and swung razor sharp claws at the spirit, attempting to put itself between Aurora and the spirit. Once in between the spirit and Aurora, it roared, challenging the spirit to a fight to the death.
