Baekje korea, 918 B.C. Fifth war of the beginning of the year, and many Baekje warriors have fell victim to the Silla Kindom. It was an embarrassing feat to admit; their land was conquered by Silla, and their power continues to diminish. For warrior Kim Namjoon, it leaves him disappointed, not only by their feat, but also by his failure to find his childhood friend, Kim Taehyung.
He knew Taehyung was involved with politics in Silla, from word of generals within the Baekje military. It was clear to him that Taehyung was being corrupted. While it was his generals intentions to destroy the kingdom of Silla, and restore order to the nation to unite as one, that was not his at all.
He wanted to restore his relationship with Taehyung, no matter how arduous it would be, and how much work it would take. He's always held a candle in Namjoon's eyes. Every waking hour, thoughts of their friendship as young boys would replay in his mind, his pain burrowing itself deep within his mind and his heart. It left a gaping hole in his heart, a hole of regret, a void.
Namjoon understood that forgiveness is earned, and he knew that forgiveness from Taehyung would take hard work, especially after what his father did. Not a day, nor hour, nor minute, nor second goes by without the image of the event that unfolded that fateful night haunting him. He curses his father for that day; he himself hasn't forgave his father. "May God wreak havoc on your soul, saekki." He would whisper in spite to himself in the confines of his war tent.
"We've received word that Silla is planning an attack on western territory tomorrow, we must act sir." He overheard from the tent across from him; the generals tent. He sat up quickly, straining his ears to listen to what is to be planned. Silence echoed through out the sky; a painful pause ensued until the general finally answered.
"When dawn breaks, awake the soldiers and prepare the horses for them. We mustn't let them win again." His heart dropped. From regret, or from anxiety, he doesn't know. A new opportunity for him to find his lost friend, another door opened, one that he has been longing for, for so many years.
