The sentinels were tough, but not invincible and although it was taking time, Hildegard's continued attack of the same sentinel, with Kesh's assistance, managed to mangle and maim their target. her thunder claws rent large pieces of bark from the entity, sending splinters though the air. Right away the remaining sentinels prepared to launch their javelins and join the fight, but a large cry rang out from the tree, sounding like wood being twisted and crushed beneath a great weight. The ground shook slightly and the sentinels, with their weapons raised, were frozen in place. They trembled, almost like trying to move but being held in position. Several seconds of silence passed and nothing happened, then came Mira's voice. "Run for the base!" There was no guarantee that the sentinels would not attack, or whether the path ahead was safe or not, but for now they had a chance to flee the overwhelming odds.
Mira, guided by her agency and urgency, grabbed hold of Kesh and Ceylan's hands and without hesitation started to run towards the base of the tree. Once they were past the first two sentinels, she let go of them and glanced back, seeing that the enemies were still frozen like statues. She could also see Cayde and Hildegard were not far behind as the group made a mad dash for the center of the crater. They would move without further interruption, seeing no resistance once they were under the base of the tree. That was when they would catch a glimpse of the First Shrine, what remained of it anyway.
A pool surrounded what was once the First Shrine and the waters within were blue without the sky's serene influence. Small sparks lifted from the pool, dazzling and glinting in the shadow of the tree. Energy also radiated from the pool and those magically inclined would recognize the familiar hum of pure mana. Mira treaded lightly as she crossed the bridge, eyes wandering aimlessly and taking in the peculiar scene. Just across the pool of mana was a dilapidated structure with an altar at the center of it and a set of stairs to the left, located outside the building. Standing before the altar was a tall figure who held two orbs in his palms. Both spheres were of a crimson color, but one emitted a golden glow that felt warm and pure, Ceylan would recognize it as a Divine energy.
"So this is what you were up to." The figure slowly turned around, first twisting its neck to glance over its shoulder and then turning its entire body to face the outsiders. The group would recognize the voice as the one that spoke to them earlier. "Aegrizora hath delivered you all to your deaths." His hand tightened upon the glowing sphere, Squeezing it tightly. Slowly, his grip on the orb weakened and he held his hand out, materializing a large purple blade.
"I shall cleave thee from reality and lay all to rest beneath the tree." In the span of a breath, the figure dashed towards the group, swinging his blade at Mira and aiming to sever her head from her shoulders.
