Wyrd laughed and laughed. His laugh shook the walls that threatened to contain him, but could not. Earth was nothing more than Earth, and earth or stone both had the same flaw within them. Then he roared and reared back, shards of earth that was the prison flying off in all directions, embedding and shattering against what they hit, and there was nothing more than stumps of the spikes, and a lot of dust.
"I have no time for you and your bullshit."
With a reach of his great paw he heaved and spat up the sphere in which Impazaeal had been put in, and shattered it in his paw, crushing it and what was in it.
"You're wasted enough of my time."
He reared again, though this time he purched foreward as though something struck him from behind.
"NO!"
He spun so fast he slammed his tail into Impazeal before shooting off, lastly to disappear in a mess of vertical lines.
___________________________________________________________
Battle raged within the city, even before the army from outside that was advancing ever came within the bounds of the walls. The riot of humans against Forgotten was start enough of war that needed no army to begin it. Humans took up swords from their shops or from their own belts and started attacking, and Forgotten did the same, be it swords or wings.
Many eyes and swords were on the woman battling it out with humans that chose to lunge at her. Wings and sword flashed out, defence and offence both.
Zenra held her own best she could. Two timelines worth of training and fighting helped her against those who had never experienced real fighting, true war. An honest fight just to survive. Three humans at a time she could handle. They came at her with swords flashing, and aiming to cleave her in twain, this whore of a Forgotten queen. But they didn't account for her fighting skills, or the speed at which she assaulted them after they attacked her. They found themselves disarmed, or wounded, or both, but rarely dead. Only one corpse lay near her, one that she could neither disarm nor wound, and was relentless in his attack. She had had no choice.
Arrows occationally bounced off her wings as she blade danced. Others whizzed by her inches off from target, or missed her all together. Sometimes she managed to catch one coming for her, in the middle of defending herself from swords and knives of humans, and cut them from the air in a flash of a bladed wing, and still was able to defend herself from the onslaught of humans that came for her.
Out of the corner of her eye she caught sight of humans advancing into the gates, the only obstruction to their advance was a less impressive, and obviously less powerful wyrd, Aphrodite. The young wyrd attempted her best to hold the humans out, but she was by far underpowered that the humans drove her back far enough that they started to flow through the gates. Those that got caught in the claws of the wyrd did not advance, nor did they have the ability to walk any longer.
Distracted for only a moment by the scene of humans charging her gates gave some humans the opening to try to overwhelm Zenra, though it was much to their misfortune. Two of them got caught on her wings and flung away, another caught against her blade with his own, and began a game of dodge/parry/thrust with the Forgotten queen. With all her attention on this one with obvious sword play skill, she didn't notice the human behind her with a mace until he caught her in the back of the head with it.
Silvery blood splattered the ground, and Zenra fell into an unmoving heap. The two humans raised their weapons to finish her off, but never got the chance as almost instantly a huge form loomed over them. They saw long enough what it was before they were bowled over and torn apart in a very unfriendly manor, as Wyrd exactly his retribution of their assault on his Queen.
