Iris laughed. "Haha! I am slave to no one. I chose the path of the seas and paid honor enough to Poseidon in life. I managed to cast off all chains that had been placed on me. Now I question whether or not I should truly be taking a place alongside you, who remains trapped."<br/><br/>She throw back her hood, letting the cloak whip like a banner in the wind, before loosening its clasp and letting it tear away in the strong breeze. She was still wet from her swim, the glistening moisture highlighting her musculature,  her usually chaotic hair soaked with brine.<br/><br/>She chewed on her lip, biting til it bled as her mouth twisted up into a grin.<br/>"I suppose I'll have to test your true worth in a battle to the death."<br/>She clenched her fists and drew up her inner power, her muscles swelling with inhuman strength.<br/><br/>She slowly, but purposefully, began to approach Andronicus, preparing to launch an assault.
