When Safa fell to the floor, for a mont it felt like Raze was watching it in slow motion. He saw the muscles relax in her body, as if out of control, swaying against the wind, and heard the sound of a thud as her face slamd then slid on the ground.
He stood there, watching her, his eyes wide open, not knowing what to do.
'Why did that happen? Why did the Qi suddenly move like that, and why would it strike the heart?' Raze thought. 'That… didn't happen with . Wait, but I never had a dantian or a Qi core. I had gotten a magic core first; could that be the reason.'
The sound was drawn out around him as Raze was stuck in his thoughts, and before he even reacted, both Simyon and Liam had jumped off their beds. It felt like he was watching a movie, as if he wasn't really present at the mont.
He could see Simyon pressing his head up against her chest, while Liam placed his hand under her nose after turning her over to see if she was breathing.
"Raze… Raze… RAZE!" Simyon yelled at the top of his lungs.
The last call had snapped Raze out of it, out of the movie he was watching. He felt as if he was going from bystander to living in the mont now.
"Safa, we can't hear her heartbeat, and she's not even moving. What happened? What happened to her? What did you do?" Simyon scread.
These words, the experience of people shouting at Raze, he had heard it before, and almost trying to turn away from the situation, he looked onto the floor.
'But I was fine… where did this all go wrong?' He thought.
While staring at the ground, Raze noticed sothing: the five-headed flower. Only one of its heads had disappeared, having broken down into particles. Even now, there was a slight glow around it.
'There's no one to stop this ti. I can try and do sothing.'
Raze tensed his fist, his eyes narrowing as he went into full focus. He bent down, picking up the flower, and quickly rushed to Safa's side, placing his hand on top of her chest.
For a mont, Liam was wondering if Raze was trying to finish so type of hit job or whether or not he had made a mistake. But since they had no clue what was going on, he was also the only one who could resolve it.
As Raze closed his eyes, he could sense the magic that was inside her. It was still floating around her heart, condensed. Her heart itself was still in good condition, but a few of the vessels had been torn.
Raze placed the flower on top of her chest and then placed his hand on it as well. He was focusing, trying to feel the light magic. He was trying to imagine reaching out and influencing all of the light magic that was in Safa's body.
'I can't produce any light magic of my own, but I can try and control what is in the plant and already in her body.'
Raze was moving about, controlling as much of it as he could, but there was another issue: what spell was he to use? He taught magic, but in this situation, what exactly was the best spell for him?
He was thinking, but his brain wasn't working. Light magic spells were sothing that he had only really studied, so he didn't have the best mory of them.
'Think of a word, a trigger, sothing to use.'
While thinking desperately for an answer, an image of a woman appeared in front of his closed vision, and a voice whispered out.
'Complete Restore.'
The voice was soft and gentle, but it reminded Raze of the magic circle formation he needed in his head as he said the words.
"Complete Restore!" he shouted, pouring in all of his magic to move the Light magic. The plant started to disintegrate, and as it did, it started to add to the Light magic that was already around the core.
Before he knew it, the core had beco complete, creating a perfect circle around her heart. Soon it lit up, and the damage that had been done from the Qi was restoring parts of the damaged heart from the Qi.
This ti, it didn't seem like the Qi from the dantian was doing anything either. Perhaps because the person wasn't even alive at this point for its body to reject the magic circle.
The heart was going back to full condition, and the glow started to fade. Raze could tell now that the magic core, the Light core, had been completed. The spell was a success, so as he lifted his hands, he was wondering why.
"Why… why didn't that work," Raze mumbled to himself.
"What do you an didn't work?" Simyon said, placing his head down to her chest. It was true; he still couldn't hear her heartbeat. At the sa ti, she still wasn't breathing.
"The pills, what about the pills you have, can't you use them?" Liam shouted, rembering that they had been used to help Simyon before. Surely, it could do the sa in this situation.
"No," Raze answered. "Her body, it's already healed to full condition. There's no longer anything wrong with it. There's nothing to heal, but for so reason her heart's not beating."
The two were left silenced by Raze's words; they couldn't quite understand. How could Safa have been completely fine one mont, and now had ended up like this? Was there really nothing that they could do?
'Hahahaha!' A shrieking female voice, not the sa as before, echoed in his head. He wasn't sure if he had heard this voice before or not, or if it was his subconscious tornting him for having made this mistake.
'Hahaha, you avoided death too many tis, I tried to protect you all, but look what you went and did.' The voice said, playing in Raze's mind.
"Shut up!" Raze called out. "Shut up! Shut up!"
The voice continued to laugh, with Safa's body still lying on the ground.
