There were so many of those brambles- and each cut through just had them tensing around the pale body of the Lightwarden, thorns piercing skin to drop more of that glittering blood in the sand, spawning more of the tendrils to replace those cut down almost as quickly as they were being destroyed.
What had likely been assumed to be a glimmer of reflected daylight against gold was proven otherwise with the Dark hiding the scorching Light- the glimmer ran along the length of several of the larger bramble vines, not entirely unlike being lit ablaze before they were whipped out to lash against the smaller shield Emet had created as he forced his way closer- they didn't resist allowing this, though it was more to wind more securely, the thorns of each seeming to draw longer, sharper, as if to try and burrow in through the shield.
More dangerous though the position was, it did at least bring the Ascian closer in to his goal, for all if he wasn't careful it would certainly render escape an even more uncertain game if things went wrong.
