[It was as if all the air left his lungs, as if punched from him as gravity fails him and he falls.
He falls and falls, long after his body has crumpled to the ground, as if the world is gone from under his feet and he plunges until he hits water. And the time slows, the weight of his body fully gone from him, his mind hazy as he feels the way his soul slowly crashes through forgotten locked and barred doors.
Then he's blinking up at a disused and cracked ceiling, cobwebs and dust hang on the proverbial air -- there is no air here, no real walls or ceiling, but he could never forget the way the stars they once imagined up there, the constellations they invented together when his flame was in pain.
Why was he here? He can feel the panic rising in him - the lighting in the room pulsed with his unease. His mind races to try and remember what happened - he had been showing Widogast a spell, they were too close, had brushed fingers--
Sitting up, he sees Caleb only an arm's length away from him, the man stirring. His mind couldn't comprehend what he was seeing or feeling, too drowned in disbelief.]
