He cried out as he felt the spell knock into his chest, falling back and staring up into the stare of his mentor as he watched him fall towards the pitch blackness as if he were a toy he had thrown away because he was useless to him now.

Darkness spread throughout his entire being, filling him with painless cotton.

He was blinded by bright white as his head smashed against hard wood before landing on soft dirt and petals.
