[ Something breaks and it feels like another piece falling away from himself, falling with the rest of the bits of his shattered self. He doubles over in pain, taking the searing wave of it through his body in complete silence. This pain is temporary—getting back home is permanent.
This pain, and whatever has broken, is worth the knowledge he’s gained in this moment. He can relay this to the others, let them know what could happen to them, to know how to prevent this pain.
It’s another sacrifice, one that’s all too easy to make in the name of success.
He stands back upright and tries to aim a spell at one of the ghosts, but he’s so shaken that he can’t even get the magic to spark at his fingertips (2). ]
