Clenching tightly to her blade the War mare stared at the darkness of the labyrinth. Scars on her body told the story of the toil of blood and sweat to get to this point. The words of a distant voice... "Are you proud?" echoed against her ears and her blade tapped against her flesh in an annoyed manner as she glared at the gaping opening. Her feathers were primed for this and she slowly moved into the thick of the trees.

Cautiously she stopped, staring down at the tile and back at the end. Just like any task, it was the need to get from the end and the beginning. Lowering her stance her wings folded against her, fingers grazing against the hilt of her sword as the clung tightly to the sturdy handle. This time was hers...

Silently her legs lifted from the ground as she dashed forward, her muscles tensing as her feet moved with grace into the air. Wind sped past her hair and she sliced against whatever had offended her and landed about 10 tiles away from where she had been. CLATTER~ The wood rang out as it hit the tiled area below, followed by several more as the pieces hit the floor. Her eyes never left the calling light from the distant exit. It was barely a dent into her task and she felt the tug of her lip into a smirk.

Easy was never the way she liked it after all.

Momentum like this was not to be wasted and she focused on another tile beyond her and crept cautiously. Moving against the tile her feet could feel the slightest edge to them. From the left came something and she swatted it into two pieces and they fell over her, clattering lifelessly to the ground. Another target splintered against the ground.

Iyari's bright eyes scanned for more trouble before settling again, calming and closing her eyes to listen to the sounds of the labyrinth around her. The trees were still, no wind to tease the branches or life to disrupt their darkened stillness. They were times that couldn't be trusted and she opened her eyes again to resume her hunt.

Being too cautious had cost her as she moved over another tile. Her feet were planted firmly before it gave way, forcing her to jump and roll to safety. Against her side was the burnt searing of flesh, taken by arrows which had been shot upward from the hole. Droplets fell on the ground as she glared back at it, looking back to where the exit had been moments before.

Mistakes like that were mistakes she couldn't afford.

Heeding to her own advice, her wings unfurled and she propelled herself forward, landing with her blade out in front of her with a sideways glance to each corner of the dense brush. Light was scarce here and her eyes shifted to adjust. It left them feeling dry, but poised as she looked at her surroundings. No trap here, but no target either. In her haste, had she missed them?

If haste was her enemy then she would slay it along with the wooden targets. It was a slow creep and she felt the itch of her blade at the point, moving with her anticipation. She wanted it so badly she could taste it, but her mentor's words beckoned her again. Once she had been too reckless and 3 trees on her home island had suffered, a painful lesson for a young mare, but effective. Well, most of the time as several recent events would claim otherwise.

This time there was no action and her eyes barely caught sight of the wooden shape against the trunk of a tree, she moved up with a single slash before landing again on her feet. The final target, but a labyrinth with twists, turns and traps still lay before her.

As soon as she had moved another barrage opened up under her and she moves. In the maneuver she felt another scrawl across her back as the spears had been pointed from the side. Gritting her teeth she was able to roll forward and avoid further injury, but more of her blood was splattered over the labyrinth floors.

"Is that the best this has?" She spat out with a smirk. Perhaps the labyrinth didn't like being goaded, but she lusted for the challenge.

After rolling against the floor her muscles were tense, but moved happily as she bounded back into the labyrinth, turning down another path towards her exit. As she passed a gnarled tree she could see another target in the bush, striking it as her body slunk past it. She was definitely not one to miss an opportunity to use her blade, and a target was just screaming for destruction.

Exhaling deeply, her feet left the ground with a final leap into the exit. Expanding darkness quickly fell to the light of the outside. Her need was sharply impacted into the dirt below her and her head tilted up back to the outside. There was no audience, no claps or admiring words. The curl of her lip to a smirk was her solace as she stood, forcing her blade away and her wings open, casting a shadow down onto the sand. The visage was powerful in her shadow, with a strong posture.

A chilling laugh sliced through the tense silence for a moment as pride filled her chest, the warmth spreading through to her body. All those hours training, hard nights, scars upon scars and callouses which would never be scrubbed away. Such a pride surging into her body and she could feel herself filling to the brim with that stubborn cocky attitude which had alluded her for so long. No longer a mewling kitten searching for a home, nor a faceless shadow at the backs of her clan. The Lost Clan. Her War Clan. All pieces of her, shattered from their previous, easy lives, but still sharpened and just as deadly as ever.

Silence came again and her hair moved against the wind, she could feel a new power surging inside of her and her crystal mark felt a pulse. Stretching her wings up to the height she moved forward, picking up the spear left in the area to take back as another sign of victory.

"I am IyariI" She roared triumphantly. "And on this day, I am proud!"
