Battlefield Vows
Amid the relentless roar of gunfire and the crackle of exploding shells, Horangi and König moved as one through the chaos. In the midst of a firefight, their eyes met—a silent exchange that spoke louder than orders.
When the barrage subsided for a heartbeat, König’s steady voice broke through the clamor. “I’ve got your six,” he murmured, his gloved hand briefly brushing Horangi’s arm as they ducked behind cover.
Horangi’s nod was all the reply needed. In that fleeting moment, amid smoke and shattered commands, their unspoken promise shone clear: no enemy force could break the bond they’d forged on the front lines.
Later, in the cramped safety of a makeshift bunker, the distant echoes of battle faded. Side by side, they shared a quiet smile—a promise of trust and warmth that defied the harsh realities of war.
