At the first barrage of arrows, Tyrsis' wings flashed bladed, left wing rising above her head to sheild her from the rain of knife edged arrows. Before the second could fall, she had started back away from the human army. Retaliation was something both human and Forgotten alike were very good at and very swift to act upon.

And she was a very close target.

Several volleys later and the tide turned as swiftly as it had begun, human army splitting in two directions though its numbers were far too spread to support such a tactic. They lacked leadership, astonishment too great in the first few seconds to prevent the reigns of war from sliding beneath their master's fingers. One portion of the human army attacked the forests, seeking the Filaninon that had fired upon them. Golden eyes caught a glimpse of something in the treetops, something glimmering blue like Filaninon beads. For a moment she swore that it was an arrow... but Filaninon arrows went through trees, not into them. The second portion of humans broke her train of thought, wiping it entirely from her mind as they turned towards her and the gates of Hogoromo.

They rushed.

***

Positions were breached as knights stood atop the walls of Hogoromo, attention turned towards the approaching army and arrows and bolts aimed at the army that threatened their walls. Five knights fell beneath the dagger before anyone realized something was a miss. All five were those nearest the gate controls. The remaining knight turned, eyes widening with recognition of the events about to transpire and his mouth opened to yell, blood flowering from it as an arrow peirced his throat. His scream ended in a gurgle, covered by the creak of the gate mechanism as it began to shift its weight, growning with the strain of allowing those without an entrance.
