A gate being forced open. "The riots," Bernard laughed, a wet, bubbly sound. "You think you’ve won? The people don't care about your little tragedy. They are coming for the Spire. They are coming for you, the 'Witch-Guard' who killed their King." The massive, iron-reinforced doors to the Great Hall shuddered. A beam splintered, followed by the roar of a thousand angry voices outside. Kael dropped Bernard, who collapsed into a heap of shivering limbs.

At that sight, Anna wondered if that had been where Lucian found her lying on the brink of death. "This will be the main gate to the territory," Barbara pointed to the vacant space, stating the obvious. "No one goes beyond without permission. Those are the gatekeepers, Liam and Corey." One of the men with a scar on his left cheek turned and waved at Barbara. She slowly waved back as if to keep their knowledge of each other a secret. "That's Liam," They kept walking towards the supposed gate, towards the men. Anna grew a bit more nervous as the thought of conversing nauseated her.

As we passed, creatures of all shapes and sizes peered through open doorways, each creature more terrifying than the last. “Come, my pretty sweet. We cannot be late for the master.” Dareios urged me on. As far as I was concerned, I would have loved to be late – just to put Icelus’ nose out of joint. But on the other hand, having the god of nightmares angry at me couldn’t be a good thing. Dareios seemed to quicken the pace and I had no choice but to follow him until we broke free from the buildings and approached a wall which was so tall that I couldn’t even see the other side of it. Gates of finely carved ebony barred the way and I stood staring at them while Dareios spoke to the guards who

another soldier began, turning his rifle under his chin in a grim resolution. Bang! The gunshot ricocheted, missing the soldier’s head entirely. A scarred, wax-covered hand had intervened, knocking the barrel off target. The figure behind it was imposing, muscles tense with the bearing of authority—a Baron. Others flanked him, igniting a flamethrower that roared to life with infernal light. A sheet of flame erupted, forming a searing barricade that incinerated the moths attempting to follow. The roaring blaze illuminated the Baron’s features: it was Gazier.

“And those are all the rules. Which of those rules allowed you to let Riccardo Marino waltz up my front path with back-up?” Jer paled. “Oh, I know that one!” Barbell said. “He was an approved guest!” The air at the gate suddenly went still, like the rest of the guys knew that was the wrong answer. At least I didn’t employ exclusively morons. I glanced at Barbell. “He was approved? By who?” “H-he said he was an ally,” Jer stuttered. “All allies are approved, right?” I sucked in another long, slow breath and took a step back. “Danny, H, slam these two against the gate for me.”

"We aren't here to negotiate a passage. We are here to break the line." Through the yellow fog ahead, the massive shape of the Draconian border station finally broke the dark. It was a monstrous, multi-tiered fortress carved directly into the heart of the subterranean mountain, its lower tiers reinforced with dark red copper plates that sizzled in the acid river. A towering, double-layered gate of solid volcanic glass and copper bars blocked the channel, guarded by a hundred Saurian Janissaries whose long-barreled magma weapons lit up the dark walls like a line of burning coals.

Duke Essandor gestured to the formerly quiet General who was now moving towards the gate with the Captain and Major. “Stand back!” the Major ordered, and the army retreated orderly for a few meters. “We need to hit the same area” Captain Zack struck the barrier lightly and stated. Since Alexis wasn’t a spiritualist, her barrier wasn’t as steady. It was made from runes and wouldn’t last as long.
