There was a solemn sort of quiet at the edge of the thorns, the looming mass of twisted brush seemed to shift and creek as it was observed, sounding almost like the rocking of a boat at sea. Here and there a keen eye could catch a glimpse of what might have been a house, or an inn lingering in the harsh grasp. A sign post. A length of wooden board. Like the sea, it had swallowed it up, curling around it all and splintering it all into fragments almost unrecognizable. Now and then, there was a flit of motion. A small brown bird camouflaged by the thick branches, made visible only by it's head tilting this way, then the other, before it flew off.

"To strive against the wind that ne're will cease,
To climb until failing, that which takes from safety,
To follow blindly on the course set upon you,
To fight against Chaos while striking at the heart of Order,
Such a work is man..."

"Are you going to let me go or not?" she snapped, running quickly out of patience.

No surprise there.

"Would it be wise for one to give amnesty to that which has threatened its existence?"

Yet at that question, the thorns began to pull away slightly, but only at the top of their circle. It's an opening, big enough for Alanna to get through, if she's willing to climb for it.

No, it isn't, Alanna thought, but she kept it to herself. If she had a chance, she was going to take it. She immediately started climbing for her escape.

Lucky for her, Alanna was a very strong climber. All that swords-play gave her incredible upper arm strength. She began moving faster once the thorns crept up behind her.

Once she was free, she wasted no time in putting distance between herself and the thorns. She had learned everything she needed to learn.
