The Wisdom of the Wolves

Juwol fell to her knees as pain shot through her face. She could see Yunsang's towering form somewhere in her periphery. Soon her vision turned blurry and red. A torrent of blood rained to the ground. She reached to her face and was horrified to discover that her right eye was bleeding. She pressed her palm into her face, desperately trying to stop the flow of blood. She felt the last remnants of strength pour out of her as everything turned red and then finally, black.

Juwol woke up covered in sweat, as if she had just been roused from a nightmate. She put her hand to her face. Her fingers founds a rough eye patch where her eye had once been. She clenched her teeth in frustration. She couldn't decide which bothered her more, losing her eye or losing the battle.

A burning desire for vengeance mingled with the pain. Juwol had no choice but to accept her new reality. Her eye was gone, and Yunsang was gone as well.
