A Warrior's Heart

Chaper 59; Mission coolname

Once they were outside, the brunette let go of the warrior's arm, knowing he'd be right by his side anyway. He was furious. He couldn't get his head around the fact that Beomgyu had been going through all of that, just because some people liked seeing others suffer. It made him so angry, and he was going to make all of them pay, one by one.

"The other's are probably gearing up by now." Yoongi said as he walked beside him, both of them taking big steps to get to the warrior's chambers as soon as they could. "They better be," Taehyun huffed.  "If not I'll just go alone, I'm not waiting on them."

The warrior knew that going in a group would be more to their advantage, but he didn't comment on it. He knew the younger was angry and quite frankly, so was he. He wouldn't mind going alone either, just so he could take revenge and kill every last soldier himself.

They arrived at the warrior's chambers not too long after, having speed walked there. The men already there were nearly all done gearing up, much to their delight. Yoongi clapped his hands to get their attention.  "Okay everyone, those who are ready go get the horses! The rest finish up as quickly as you can. We'll be leaving in mere minutes so do what you have to do before that!" He spoke to all of them, getting a few grunts in return.

Taehyun saw the row of what looked like closets without a door, and even though Yoongi had recruited a couple of new guys, he could see enough suits and weapons still hanging there. He heavily exhaled through his nose and walked towards a closet, tugging out a waist piece with a sword holder.

'How dare they,'  He thought as he turned it around so it would fit correctly.  'Stupid fuckers,'  He wrapped it around his waist. 'I'll make them pay for what they did.' He fastened it and looked at the closet, seeing a sword hang there, right in front of him. He recognized it as the one he had fought with before. All of the swords looked the same, really, but he had swung the sword at a soldier's head, and he knew it had left a slight dent on the left side. This sword had an exact same dent, so he bet this was the one. 'They all deserve to die.' He thought and turned the sword around in his hand, feeling the weight rest against his palm. 'He must've been so scared and lonely'. With every thought he got more and more fed up. When he went to push the sword down into the holder, Yoongi came up to him and stopped him.

"Hey Tae wait I got-"

"I know!" Taehyun yelled and turned around to face the man, eyes hard and brows furrowed. "Stop telling me that, I know! Okay just- let's just go, okay?"

Yoongi looked at him for a few seconds, just blinking and then he sighed and ran his hand through his hair.  "I wasn't going to tell you to calm down, you twat."  He said, voice flat and bored.

Taehyun looked down and exhaled heavily. Why did he snap like that? He shook his head and looked up at the older. "I-I'm sorry Hyung, I didn't mean to yell at you." He apologized, but Yoongi just shook his head. "I get it, we're all fed up right now. I just wanted to tell you to lose the waist piece. We got new stuff for you."

The brunette blinked up at the man in front of him. New stuff? What kind of new stuff?

"Come with me." The warrior told him, mentioning for the younger to follow. He led him to some sort of back room in the chambers, the room looking like some sort of workspace. Half made armor pieces were hanging from the walls and swords were laid out over the table, some iron blocks stacked in a corner and a huge fire pit was stood in the middle of the room. The girl that was busy rearranging some things in there stopped in her tracks, almost dropping the five swords she was holding.

She had red hair, tied in a messy ponytail. Big, round glasses which were way too big for her face were pushed up her forehead, and her clothes were messy. Not a poor kind of messy, but the kind of messy you get when you work hard every day. She looked like she was an iron-smith in the making.

"Oh, you're here!" She squeaked, quickly scrambling to put the swords away. Then she came to stand in front of Yoongi.  "Hi sir, I got what you asked me, and my dad told me to personally see that it fits correctly. If not I can always change it up a little right away!" She smiled. The warrior nodded and she was off running again. She opened a door to a closet and got out a box, carrying it over to a nearly empty table. 

"So, Taehyun,"  She said, turning to the brunette.  "My father made you some armor pieces. Sadly he couldn't be here but he made me promise to make sure they're perfect for you!" She said as she opened the box, pulling out a pair of arm protectors. Taehyun pushed his arm forward when she approached him, gently placing the pieces around his arms and securing them tightly. They were silver, with sparkling lining around the sides. A gem was placed in the middle of the top half, and after asking the girl he found out it stood for power and courage.

"I asked them to make you some new stuff, since you're a top warrior now too." Yoongi said from his spot at the door. He was leaning against the door frame with crossed arms, watching as the redhead also secured a waist pieces around his hips. "They are specifically made for you, so you can keep them. Put them up in your room in the other world when you're not here." He said.  "See it as a present from me."

Taehyun looked back at the older, eyes soft and he couldn't help but feel touched by it. "Hyung.. Thank you, you didn't have to do this, really." He said as he tested the armor out, moving a bit to see if it would indeed fit him perfectly. Yoongi scoffed and frowned.  "If you don't want it I can always ask her to melt it into anothe-"

"No! No I- I like it, Hyung, thank you." Taehyun rushed to say. The redhead adjusted some little things and then she clapped her hands.  "All done! Everything fit well?" She asked, and Taehyun nodded and smiled.  "It does, thanks. You're really good at this." He complimented her. The girl just waved him off and chuckled.  "I'm flattered. But you guys should get going, I'm pretty sure you have more warrior duties to attend to!"

They agreed to her and after the brunette had thanked her some more, they walked outside. The other warriors were standing next to the horses, waiting for them both. Yoongi jumped onto his black stallion without effort, and the rest of them followed quickly. Taehyun still had some trouble getting onto the tall white mare, but luckily she stood still, giving him time to find his balance.

"Okay, listen up everyone!" Yoongi said loudly for the entire group to hear. He probably wanted to go over a checklist to make sure everyone knew what was expected of them. This was their first mission after all. Taehyun tuned the older out, not needing to hear what he had to say. Whatever it was, he was sure he knew already.

He inhaled shakily and sighed. he didn't want to do this. Of course he wanted to safe the blonde, but he hated that he had to. He wished everything would be fine, that he had found the boy in his room, working on the papers. He would've looked up, expecting some girl but seeing him instead. They would've hugged, maybe kissed.. and everything would be perfectly fine. But instead, they had to go save him from the horrible place he was in right now.

They needed a mission name. The thought just popped into his mind out the middle of nowhere. Taehyun smiled softly, remembering his friend who used to always say that whenever they were going to do something. 'Always give the mission a name, no matter what', he used to say. Taehyun wasn't really good at coming up with names, but he would give his friend what he wanted, even though he'd probably never know about this.

"Mission coolname,"  He muttered under his breath as he grabbed the reigns in his hands and straightened his back, seeing the other warriors spurring their horses on.  "Mission coolname has started."  He whispered as he spurred the mare on, gallopping through the castle gates.
