"You insolent girl, what did you say—" "SHUT UP, YOU WORTHLESS." Before the guard could say anything compromising, he was abruptly silenced.
In one of the two guardhouses positioned at the ends of the large steel gate, a female voice full of authority shouted irritably. The gate guard seemed to tremble in his boots when he heard the reprimand and dared not say anything more.
Kizaer and Ciona stood there watching the guard's dumbfounded face while listening to footsteps approaching from inside. Then, after a slight creak, a smaller door was opened on the right side of the large iron gate.
A female warrior with simple martial attire, carrying a pair of Sai at her waist sides and a three-pointed war flail on her back that rattled and made small iron-clashing sounds as she walked.
The woman had a small talisman attached to her shoulder indicating her rank and would serve to send some message into the territory.
