The grounds stretched out before him, an eerie blue under the orb floating amongst the wisps of grey shifting and stirring in the breeze. He stared out at the world that had become utterly insignificant in the past hour. He lifted his hand and without looking down, pressed it over the lit wick of the candle on the sill.

He let it sit a moment before thinking scourgify then episkey. The bubbles disappeared but the pain throbbed in his chest. He knew it wasn't from the candle.
