A young man breathed heavily as he cautiously glanced over his shoulder from behind a broken stone wall. Blood and sweat covered his face and his chocolate brown eyes were tired from lack of sleep. His sharp gaze caught two men wandering around wearily over many fallen bodies. Their backs had a symbol of a hissing snake, the symbol of the enemy. Slowly, the young man drew his sword making sure that the other two couldn't hear. He put the hood of his tattered brown cloak over his head and made sure his face was well hidden. Cautiously, he stood up and turned around so he was facing the backs of the two men. He quickly lunged at one of the men and was successful with piercing through his back. The man fell lifelessly to the ground as the killer retrieved his sword from the bloody back and turned to face the other man causing the hood to fall off his head. The second man had already drawn his sword and was ready to attack the mysterious stranger when he noticed the face of the stranger.
"Prince Li," he smirked knowingly and lowered his sword giving an abnormally deep bow, mocking the prince. "What an honor."
"You have no right to call me your prince," the young man spoke. He raised his bloody sword and swiftly lunged at the man.
The man parried the attack easily and took the chance to slash back. The young prince managed to block it with his own sword but part of the blade cut through the delicate fabric of his cloak. He looked at the man with determined eyes. He tried lunging again. This time, he managed to cut the man's arm. The enemy stared at his wound before looking back at the prince, anger filling his eyes. It was as if a demon possessed him as he gave reckless attacks trying to take the prince's life.
Both men continued to battle even though they were drawing near to their limits. Neither gave up knowing it would cost him his life. It came to a point where the man successfully pierced the prince in the side. The prince winced at the growing pain as his blood seeped through his clothes. He noticed the man was smirking, thinking that it was his victory.
"Farewell, Prince Li," the man sneered and was about to pull away when he felt a sudden sharp object drive into his chest. He looked down and noticed a sharp dagger dripping with blood.
"That's for me say," the prince retorted as he let go of the dagger watching as the man fell back in pain.
The smirk never left the rebel's face as he forced words out, "This isn't over yet. There will be more of us heading for the capital in a matter of days. Victory won't be yours so easily." His face got paler with every word. He fought for breath as he spoke again, this time much quieter, "We won't lose to you Li's."
The prince stood with his feet planted in place trying to regain his breath. He felt a sharp pain course through his body and he used his sword to give him leverage. He had to head back to the capital to warn the others. It would be a day's walk back to the capital, but it would be worth it if it were to save the city. He decided to start the long journey and hopefully get back to the capital before nightfall the next day. Putting his sword away, the prince took a step forward only to have the pain run like wild fire through his body. He cringed and held the wound tightly hoping to stop the pain.
"Come on, Syaoran Li," he whispered to himself. "You have to get back to warn the others."
With this in mind, he took another step and ignored the pain that continuously ran through his body. With each slow, painful step, he started for the long journey back to the capital, his home.
