Ebony and gilded tresses flow, swirling around her form as the dawn casts its beautiful pastels upon her, the sun bathing her in its budding warmth. She was traveling above the land known as Ruris, looking for more poor uninformed creatures that had not yet enjoyed the glory of Solis. She hesitated in her flight when she saw below what appeared to be a giant maze. It's great expanse was impressive and she wondered how quickly the populace of Novus would get lost in it. She dove, intending to land somewhere inside the maze, but to her astonishment that was not such an easy feat. The gleaming pegasus hit like a wall of bricks and had to pull up with immense effort, feeling her body ache with the impact. Some invisible force protected the maze, keeping her from entering it from anywhere, she guesses, except the very beginning. Her golden orbs blaze with indignant fury, but she decides that perhaps this is not the hill to die on....
Quietly she drifts down toward what appears to be the entrance to the maze. Her daggers land on the soft turf and she examines the hedges with a critical eye. What is the purpose of this? She couldn't divine any, but she couldn't help her curiosity either. The ground appeared trampled, as if several others have taken this path before her. Her lobes swivel as she tries to listen for anyone else, but if they were here before, they are gone now. Nares expand to take in the smells around her, and finally she decides that most have gone one path.. to the left. She stops and stares in that direction, noticing that the trampled effect continues on the ground. Turning her crown to the right the path looks almost untouched - only a slight few have gone this direction, if that many. Fickleness ruling her mind then, she chooses to turn right, following the hedge wall the way that was less traveled. Whatever the purpose of this maze, I shall discover it! Looking above, she wonders if it is easier to get out than it is to get in. How many will fall prey to the labyrinth? Will she? No - Solis will save her, should any harm befall her.
