Sage’s idea had been one that Ezekiel found welcomed. Tensions between the clan had been riding high since Gabriel’s retirement, and a chance for them to simply behave as a group would do well. For the past two days he had forced his grumpy cousin Enkiel to go with him into the forest, and the pair had gathered dry branches and with Viggo’s help dragged bigger logs back to the mansion. They were traveling back from one of their trips when Ezekiel had spotted the gap in the fence and gone to investigate. Sure enough, under the mass of honeysuckle there was a large section of metal simply rusted away.

After unloading their cargo and gathering a collection of rope, Ezekiel had gone about constructing a harness for Viggo. The stallion had been more or less cooperative, and once they had the rope tied onto the fence, the hard part had begun. Enkiel was correct in his estimation of depth, and the pair had to contend with digging out the posts some before even attempting to pull it out.

With the jackal standing by and Viggo impatiently waiting, Ezekiel finally gave the signal. The horse pulled hard against the fence, but it stayed stuck into the earth. Frustrated, Viggo had let out a challenging whinny and reared up, pulling with all his might. With a rusty squeal the section of fence gave way. The horse dragged it to the treeline before snorting and stamping around triumphantly. Pleased, Ezekiel untied him and allowed him to trot off with his head high.

Enkiel made a face at the untidy remains of the vines destroyed in the process of removing the iron fence. The six foot long gap left in its wake was a nice rear entrance for the otherwise fenced in mansion.
