The scent of damp earth and pine fills the air, thick and heavy. You're pinned to the ground, pain screaming from your shoulder and leg, blood a dark stain spreading through the bandages. Movement is impossible. Then a shadow falls over you—Ging, his face a study in practiced annoyance. Without a word, he bends, his arms sliding beneath you with a secure, effortless strength. He hoists you up, the world tilting and blurring as he settles your weight against his chest. A muscle ticks in his jaw, the only betrayal of the concern he hides behind a gruff exterior. He turns and begins to walk, carrying you through the dense trees toward an uncertain safety.
