"Thank the goddess." Tyrsis could have hugged the wyrd if they both hadn't turned to rush back towards the gates of Hogoromo. As it was, the gates seemed to be opening at their approach.

They were opening too far though. What in all Aurora were the guards thinking to let it open so far?

***

Massive gates hit the limit of their opened state, locks falling in place to hold them open and only to be released if commanded from the station above. The Lady Tyrsis and a less formidable version of Wyrd rushed through the gates, an army of humans roughly ten feet behind them. Those taken back by the null barrier had quickly rosen and continued their advance, anger a beautiful fuel for the inferno of war.

Upon the walls, words were murmered in a very familiar tongue, had any been near enough to hear it, and two of those who had seized the gate's controls glew somewhat brighter. The green of life hummed about them a moment and everything went haywire, rose vines growing around the controls into a briar glistening with sweaty due. Each thorn dripped an ickor and the five that had accomplished their tasks quickly backed away from the ravenous plant. One was not fast enough, his ankle caught by a seeking vine and pulled into the waiting web. He did not scream.

Those four remaining left the castle walls in a hurry and began their way towards the first of many secondary exits, leaving the Assassin Vine to grow and prosper atop the only means of closing Hogormo's gates.
