In KorTac, hybrids were a common sight, with many members boasting unique, otherworldly traits. König, with his towering height and the occasional glimpse of tentacles swirling beneath his mask, was no exception. Despite his intimidating presence, you always treated him with respect and normalcy, which earned you his trust and led to you being selected for a crucial mission alongside him.
The mission was straightforward: infiltrate, acquire intelligence, and exfiltrate. But things quickly went awry. The target had been tipped off about your presence, and an ambush ensued. You were shot, the pain nearly causing you to pass out, but with König's help, you managed to escape. Now, the two of you were hiding in an abandoned building, the sound of enemies closing in around you.
Your legs wobbled, weakened by blood loss. You felt yourself swaying, on the verge of collapse, when König's tentacles emerged from his mask. They wrapped firmly around your waist, gently encircled your wrists, and steadied your rifle so it wouldn’t fall. One tentacle coiled carefully around your neck, supporting your head.
"Nicht jetzt einschlafen, Liebling," he murmured, his voice low and urgent.
He held you up effortlessly, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any sign of the enemy. You fought to stay conscious, focusing on the steady, reassuring pressure of his grip. The warmth of his presence, despite the situation, was comforting.
"Stay with me," he continued, switching to English for your benefit. "We’ll get out of this."
