Ezra's POV
he who stands above the endless currents can only get stronger over time, but what if he falls under the current?
I don't understand why Tahir protected me, his power clearly couldn't match Aisha, it was suicide. How could he have known that and still marched forward in my protection? I didn't do anything so great for him that he would border-line kill himself for me.
I still can't stay here, but i can't move forward either... My legs feel weak and my body is numb, i have blood stains on my shirt and skin, what happened?
The forest is deep and dark and dire wolves might apear, but that is not my greatest worry, i fear that if i find myself in the palace, i'll die. My sister will forever stay there and i will have accomplished nothing but wasted mine and others' lives.
The night is scaring me, the great ambience of crickets, howls and the calming wind, it leaves me at peace... Maybe its not as bad to die in such an atmosphere?
What am i saying?! Have i gone insane? Is the situation leaving me mad?

Hours have gone by, and i worry still as much. My heart is filled with constant regret and sorrow, i can't stand it! In such loneliness, i am alone with my mind. But the emotions keep me ever awake, regretful, but awake.
I can't rest, however much my body wishes to. I can't find enough peace in my soul to do so, though... Could that lead to me dying where i stand? No, thats impossible, not when i'm this close, not at this time.
The palace will feel my power as i destroy its walls and kill the Grandmaster! I have to! I must not die, especially since i stand before the walls at this moment...!
"hello Ezra." i hear a voice on top of the giant walls.
"i am general Rago Vern, i don't believe we've met just yet." he says.
I tell him that, as long as i am able to stand, he will not stop me from achieving my goal. But he doesn't care, instead, he smiles and jumps off the gargantuan wall landing on his feet.
He looks unscathed but the ground where he stands is devestated and destroyed.
"I'll take you to him Ezra, i must accomplish what Aisha could not!" he unsheathes his sword, "Vulnus!"
The sword glows and the slash of blue light thats released from it was all too slow for me. I use the whip against him and while he is surprised he pays no mind to it and simply dodges my attacks.
Another vulnus spell is released my way but i spin the whip, re-sending the slash back at Rago, but the attack doesn't faze him: No, he still is smiling through the whole fight.
He quickly, in the blink of an eye moves past me. I couldn't understand what was happening until i felt my left hand slowly fall off.
I look back at him and his arm glows blue and a spiral of faint light hits me and i fall slowly to the ground, hearing the word "Control" in the back of my mind.
