"Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing,"
___
Yoongi, Jin, and Jimin ascend Orion Mountain, but upon reaching the summit, they find themselves overwhelmed with exhaustion and despair, unprepared for the impending threat of daemons, Night Walkers, and Y/N. Surveying the destruction below, Yoongi lets out a scream before impulsively rushing to aid a mother and child under attack. His recklessness leaves the King vulnerable to the swift strikes of the Night Walkers' swords, resulting in a harrowing realization of his mistake as he witnesses the gruesome fate of the woman and her infant at the hands of rogue vampires. He watched in horror as they sank their teeth into her flesh, tearing both her and the infant apart. Yoongi's eyes widened as cries of agony filled the air.
Glancing at his hands, he clenched them into fists, realizing he was surrounded and at a disadvantage. With Y/N's blood coursing through his veins, he could sense her nearby presence. Emitting a surge of fiery energy, he sent the approaching daemons crashing to the ground. Jin and Jimin exchanged wary glances with Yoongi, but they refrained from questioning him. Rising to his feet, Yoongi turned to confront his next attackers, understanding that he couldn't focus on what lay ahead until he dealt with the threats below.
He wielded his sword, cutting into the abdomen of a daemon, while Jimin dodged another's blade. Yoongi deflected a swing from the next daemon, grunting as he fell, but retaliated by kicking the creature in the stomach and driving his blade into its chest. Without hesitation, Yoongi engaged the next approaching Night Walker, pushing it back and severing its hand at the wrist. Colliding with the men attacking from behind, Yoongi was splattered with the Night Walker's black blood as it screamed in agony. Jimin and Jin intervened to protect their Chosen King, each impaling another enemy. Chaos ensued as daemons and Night Walkers converged, drawn by the screams of anguish and stumbling over the corpses of the fallen.
"Seriously?" Yoongi exclaimed as he spun the blade in his grip. "Did that idiot really signal for backup?" While it was possible the scream prompted reinforcements, it was more likely the noise attracted attention.
Moving swiftly between opponents, he incapacitated and dispatched them in quick succession, darting left and right before delivering decisive strikes, anticipating their moves and evading attacks before launching his own counterattacks.
"Do not freight, we're nearly there!" Jin shouted as he utilized his magic to hurl his portion of Daemons into a building, causing it to collapse and ignite.
Meanwhile, Yoongi confronted an elder Night Walker, distinguished by unique armor, a proud demeanor, and eyes filled not just with mist but also with fury and malice. Yoongi maintained a cautious distance, evading the Night Walker's attacks and deflecting his strikes until he was struck on the shoulder, followed by another blow to his neck.
