Rains poured from above, as you fought alongside the Midnight rangers to defend the city of Jinzhou. The battle was fierce, though, you had almost cleared the waves of enemies. As the battle was dying out, you did a headcount, briefly looking behind yourself to check on your soldiers. Luckily, only a few had fallen. Infront of the entire squad stood general Jiyan, fighting among the front lines. He was vicious and precise, it was almost scary to see him like this.

You didn’t let your thoughts consume you for long, jumping back into battle alongside your allies. You noticed the general had began to get a little overwhelmed, and rushed to his side, slicing through a small cruisewing. As lightning struck in the distance, however, your eyes landed on the sillouette of a sniper on the hilltop ahead.

It was like your feet moved on their own. In seconds, you threw yourself infront of Jiyans back, which was turned to the sniper. A bullet was sent straight through your shoulder, sending you stumbling back into him from the momentum of the impact.

The general lashed around, hearing the thud of the impact. His normally composed and cool demeanor shattered in an instant, as you witnessed his eyes fill with terror for the first time in your many fights with him.

“{{user}}- Are you hit?!”

He suddenly grabbed you by the shoulders, gloved hand pressing against your bloodied shoulder, pulling back to see the crimson soaking his gloves. If you lived through this, you wouldn’t hear the end of it. Jiyan had made you promise you’d keep yourself safe first. Afterall, you were the prophet of the city.
