"Cough, cough-"
Dago coughed violently, spitting out blood and fragments of his organs. The sphere of energy inside him shone like a white sun, constantly releasing warm power as it struggled to repair his battered body.
Dago barely managed to climb out of the crater his body had been embedded in. Only when he looked up did he realize that the statue that had stopped him was the oldest humanoid statue in the square, the one covered in so many cracks that it seemed ready to collapse at any moment.
He shook his head. Heaven knew how much closer his collision had brought the wizard chief's soul sleeping within that statue to oblivion.
Sorry, he silently apologized, then staggered to his feet.

"Damn it!"
Dago's expression turned utterly grim.
