Heila had finally run out of rooftops to run along as she reached the wide plaza outside Hanrahan Keep's outer walls. There might not be a moat around the frontier fortress, but the cobblestone plaza that played host to bustling markets on most days transformed into a killing field exposed to the castle's defenders when it was left empty as it was now.
This was exactly the sort of situation that Ashlynn's tactic of giving giant shields to the Tuscans was designed to thwart, but Heila had no time to wait for Ipiktok to come to her rescue. Instead, she gathered as much energy as she could from the scattering of shade trees at the edges of the plaza before launching herself into the air in a mad dash to pass over the outer wall and reach the tower where Loman Lothian stood with his Bow of Stars.
