"Let's go!" He keeps his spear at the ready, but a lot of the soldiers have fled by now. Those that haven't... well, they'll just have to be faster.
He may be shorter than Seto, but he keeps pace pretty well. Blows lash out towards them and Ken ducks, letting his spear catch most of them. The edge of the rift nears as they keep running, except -
Except there's still warriors around. And Seto is a bigger target. One of them lashes out towards Seto's side, and Ken moves before he even thinks about it. He has to protect his brother. He has to protect his family.
On Seto the blow would have landed near his hip. On Ken... his upper chest explodes in pain as he feels the sword's edge dig in and he stumbles before falling, letting out a scream. He can't focus enough to summon Dike - it's all he can do to keep a grip on his spear. He stabs blindly towards the attacker, catching him in the shoulder and sending him running.
"S... eto?" He coughs, one hand going to his chest. He can smell the blood, feel it around his fingers. "Seto... help..." He's not sure if he can move on his own.
