Jeongguk strained his ears to listen to the silent thumps on the surface of earth.The movements of their perpetrators were skilled too skilled and that's not a fact he'd like to acknowledge at the moment.

He hugs taehyung closer to his chest listening to the silence.It's quite which is never a good sign.He could count several pairs of footsteps from the abrupt chase they had to face but he isn't certain about their number.

He knows they're overpowered and if he doesn't act carefully he might loose his life along with the king he's with.Taehyung looks at him through his thick curl of lashes.The moon making his eyes appear forest green rather than the vibrant hue it takes in broad daylight.

"Can you do this with me?"Jeongguk softly whispers to taehyung.They've sparred before and he'll have to put his gut feeling in taehyung's skills this time.He knows he's being reckless but the situation they're in doesn't prevail him with other choices.He'll have to trust his own judgement and pray that they don't drop dead.

Taehyung nods slowly but he doesn't look shaken or afraid he's surprisingly calm about it.

The attackers creep up towards the tree they were hiding behind.Their puffs of breath slow,but the dried leaves on the forest bed crunch slightly under the pressure of their shoes.

Their swords were ready in their hands prepared to finish the task they were given.

Two of them lunged forward with vicious precision ready to slice anything in their way in half except hitting nothing but air.

In their supposed targets place was only two pairs of shoe.One masked man could hear the sound of choking behind him including a bone being snapped in half.

The man turned around immediately to see jeongguk breaking the windpipe of his ally with his bare hands.

His eyes widen the size of saucers as he felt sharp pain shooting through his back he could feel a lump of blood gushing up flowing through his masked lips.He looked behind to see icy jade orbs staring down his soul.

The dagger in taehyung's hand is pushed straight through the attacker's heart he could feel the menacing thing twisting through his  heart leaving a gaping wound behind.His heart beat slowing down until it stopped completely as the body dropped to the ground.

Jeongguk and taehyung moved quickly their techniques and style utterly different from each other yet so on par.

Taehyung took one blade of the deceased in his hand while passed the other to jeongguk they nod at each ready to battle the looming opponents.

Jeongguk is more comfortable using sabers because of their weight and how they cut right through even the bones of his enemies.The beautifully curved heavy metal fitting perfectly in his hand oh how much he misses his 'bellatrix' but he'll have to do with this fragile sword for now.

They don't get the time to heave a sigh as they get surrounded right after.

Only the sound of Swords clinking and heavy groans of fallen bodies were heard throughout the forest.Taehyung was using both the enemy's sword and his dagger,back out in the wide because he trusted jeongguk to protect him when needed.Slashing with one while stabbing with the other.The scene was ruthless yet enthralling.

Jeongguk kept swinging his sword at the assailants hitting every vital point spot on and crushing the skulls of his enemies with his foot.But he was a second too late to see the strike coming from his left.The sword would've sliced his stomach open if he hadn't moved in time,yet it left a bleeding gash.He knew he wouldn't be able to hold on much longer if he kept bleeding this heavily.
