The world is blurry around him, the sounds dull, his eyes closed. It takes Seonho a while to feel the shaking of his shoulder, the hand grasping onto him as though from far away. Slowly, the world comes back to him; he feels the cold stone against his cheek, the throbbing in his ears. Now he hears a voice, calling his name, and with it comes the memory. They were attacked. Seonho opens his eyes and groans quietly, slowly propping himself up on his arm to rise. His fingers reach for his blade, and he pulls it close to push himself up to a kneeling position. The dizziness kicks in and he almost drops to the ground again, knuckles turning white as he clings to the grip of his sword. He vaguely recalls his side being slashed by the last of the attackers, but also his own sword, sticking deep into his chest. Once he pulled it out, his strength gave up on him, and exhausted and wounded, he had dropped to the ground.
His eyes find Wang Eun, the one he swore to protect. « My Prince, » he croaks, trying his best to appear strong when he is everything but. « Are you hurt? »
