Hana was finally alive again, she moved quickly with her brothers and sisters. The dame was here, finally about to prove herself. Her blood sister and brother had remained behind, as per orders. It was just Hana representing herself and her blood family. A smile had settled on her lips. With every step she took she felt more alive than she ever had before in her whole entire life. This young mare was finally about to find herself. Today this mare would become a proud warrior of The Foothills, Hana knew that today she would grow from a child and become a proper mare in every way. Mind, body and soul.

They crossed into Edge territory, Hana's ears perked up with interest and she sniffed eagerly at the air. If was a fresh morning, a good day for a battle to take place. Ruby orbs studied the Edge, the lightly shaded mare had never been here before, it was a truly beautiful place. Such a shame that blood was going to be shed onto the ground. Needing a moment to ready herself, Hana closed her eyes and sucked in a deep breath. The nerves fluttered around in her chest however she was also insanely excited. All around her she heard noises, they were quiet, kind and gentle sounds of the morning. They calmed the mare. Soon all she would hear would be the sounds of battle, brave ones taking each other on. Slowly her gentle eyes opened up to the Edge's land again. A shaky breath was drawn in through her chops, her eyes darted about studying the surface she was about to battle on. It was solid, sturdy and slightly chilly. Not that this temperature would matter when she was actually engaged in a fight. Once someone else was slamming her around, the coloured mare knew that she would be warm enough.

The competition was apparently quite skilled, filled with experienced fighters among their ranks. Having never personally met someone from The Edge, Hana wasn't sure what her opponent would be like. She prayed that they would be evenly matched though, if it was a good fight, decent yet tough then she wouldn't mind loosing with dignity. Her attitude was a little more confident than that though. Hana flicked her tail as she waited on the borders, living among The Grey had taught her that you never did anything great by giving in. So she was never giving in again, in fact it was caution to the wind, absolute complete freedom in what she did, how she decided to fight and what she did with her life.

The grey doe stood there with a small small on her lips. It meant that she was on top of her game. No matter what happened in this battle, they would never break her stride. In fact they would never slow the momentum of how she enjoyed her life.

Hana was ready to smell blood and she didn't give a damn.
