Chapter 20: Ash on His Hands
The tank got his shoulder under the slab and heaved.
It rose an arm's length, shaking, and Seon-ho threw himself under it on his belly and scrambled through.
"Go!" the tank roared. "I can't hold it!"
The slab came down behind Seon-ho's heels with a boom that rattled his teeth.
He ran.
The core hall was filling with red dust.
Pieces of the ceiling fell on the black moss and the moss went up in bright ash.
At the far end of the chamber Tae-hwan stood alone in front of the great cracked core.
He had both hands laid flat on it.
His sword lay on the ground at his feet.
"Tae-hwan!"
Tae-hwan looked round.
His face was streaked with dust and his dark eyes were calm.
"It's all right," he said. "I only need to ask it to stop."
"That's not how..."
"I know. I'm its carrier. Two years it has been in my hands. It might still answer."
He turned back.
His bare palms glowed faintly where they touched the stone, the same dull red.
A pulse ran down his arms and up into his shoulders.
Seon-ho did not stop to think.
He ran the last twenty steps, wrapped his arms round Tae-hwan from behind, and pressed both hands over Tae-hwan's own.
