He noticed the moment she stopped. "Yes. Yes! I knew you were still in there." He was both relieved and horrified. It was bad enough for her to meet such a fate, worse with awareness. How to help her?
His hesitation cost him. The stone from the spell slammed squarely into his breastplate and knocked him back easily fifteen feet before he hit the ground in a clatter of mail. He couldn't breathe, and the back of his head felt as though someone had taken a cudgel to it, spinning with lights blinking in his vision.
Somehow, despite that, he still held his daggers in a vice grip, but it was beyond his scattered faculties to make his body do anything more than fight to regain air. He wheezed, his jumbled vision catching sight of gray sky, a crumbling sky line. He half expected her to be upon him already. What good was knowing she might have some control when there was nothing he could do about it?
