Battle with Vampires - Part two

Celestia's POV: 

Theo has proved to me several times that everything he instructs me to do is for my own good! He told me for a reason not to indulge in combat. He warned me before that my powers would get dissolved if I tried to unleash them tonight. 

But I had to do this for Marilyn. The Vampires were about to hurt her. If I had not stepped in, then she would have been dead by now. I did this to save a life! 

I wasn't able to hold on to the shield anymore. I turned back to Marilyn, who was hiding behind me and weeping uncontrollably. 

"Listen to me, Marilyn," I mumbled. "I am going to let down this shield, and when I do that, stick these ash wood arrows on these Vampires. Do you understand?"

Marilyn nodded immediately. I hope I can depend on her. Or else we both would be overpowered by these four alpha Vampires. Eventually, I had to let go of my shield.
