Heroic Sacrifice

Just when he thought that he would meet his end, a hand pulled him out of the pit. "Are you alright, my lord?"

Jared turned his gaze and realized that it was Ronan, the captain of Alverton's town guards.

"W-Why did you come back?" He muttered with difficulty.

Ronan grinned at him. "We can't let you die here, my lord."

"Go and bring Lord Jared away from here! We will buy you some time!" Shouted a Knight who came with Jared.

Hearing this, Jared wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a word as he spat a mouthful of blood.

Cough!

"Please take care, my lord! Let's drink and feast in the afterlife!" The Knight shouted his last words while laughing heroically.

"Noo!!"

Jared stumbled when he pushed Ronan away.

"Don't waste their sacrifice, my lord! You must survive!" Ronan grabbed him and carried him to his horse.

Hiya!
