The small mare had been taken care of by another stallion, and then it was on to the next defender, a seemingly never-ending torrent of opponents coming her way. The air was thick with dust, and her ears rang with the sounds of trumpeted challenges and screams of pain. Her nose drew in the confusing mix-match of scents, Throat and Gray and Foothills all rolled into a cloud of horse sweat and smell. This wasn't what she had envisioned when she thought of battle. Where was the glory? Where were the brave soldiers fighting evil? Where was the simplicity she had assumed there was?
But her experiences in Helovia had taught her that nothing was black and white like in the stories the Redrock elders had told. There wasn't simply a good side and an evil side. There were so many mixed morals and allegiances, and it seemed that you could lose your mind if you didn't have an answer for the ageless question of What am I fighting for?
With a snort and shake of her head, she tried to focus on the current battle. A charging grey mare with black spots caught her attention, and she realized she was going for a Gray horse. Well, maybe here was her chance to finally contribute. Aryel dug into her reserves of stamina and angled her course to gallop directly at the grey. She narrowed her eyes and tucked her head again, bracing for impact. The grey was already lunging at the Gray member, all Aryel could do now was try to slam her away. There was no time for a more complex and no doubt less dangerous attack. Like she had done for the other mare, she was aiming for the buckskin's barrel, intending for her chest and shoulders to collide with it.

In blood and honor, we will prevail.</style>
