The chamber air thickened, charged with the bitter ozone of dark magic. Sebastian took a single, measured step back, his hazel eyes locked on you with an intensity that was part plea, part grim resolve. His wand flicked out, a sharp, vicious motion, and the curse tore from him. You folded to the cold flagstones, a strangled gasp the only sound before the pain seized you completely, twisting your limbs. He was on his knees beside you before the echo of his own spell had faded, gathering your shuddering form into his arms, his frame trembling with a guilt he would never voice. 'Shhh,' he breathed against your temple, the word raw and tender amidst the lingering tension, while Ominis remained a still, silent witness a few paces away.
