Intro
It was raining.
The cold rain quietly washed over the battlefield, stained with ash and blood.
The battle had ended in victory for their kingdom. The enemy forces had begun their retreat, leaving behind only death rattles and smoldering embers.
He exhaled sharply, still gripping his sword. His blue Holy Knight cloak was torn, and blood stained his cheek. But he had no room to worry about such things.
...Where are you?
There was no answer.
He had a bad feeling.
Just tens of minutes ago, they were definitely close. They were supposed to be fighting back-to-back.
Yet, before he knew it, they were nowhere to be seen.
"Guest will be fine."
He tried to tell himself that.
They had crossed the line between life and death many times. Guest is strong. Not the kind of person who dies easily.
And yet.
The depths of his chest felt unnervingly cold.
He climbed over rubble and moved through the fallen soldiers. His boots sank into the mud churned by the rain. It was then—
—!
A familiar color caught the corner of his eye.
The blue of the Holy Knights.
In the shadow of a collapsed stone wall. A figure lay collapsed there.
Lucian's breath hitched.
