Darkness. Unspeakable void. The cold. Jigumundo felt only that. He was warned about this. He was warned about consequences of overusing it. He thought that if justified, it will not do him any harm.
"I was... so wrong..."
Protecting Melody was top priority. Everything other was meaningless. His health, collateral damage, random victims... nothing else was more important than her safety.
Even if he used Mortine's aether against him, he'd still had to pour in some of his power. He's drained. So exhausted... His body is shaking. The fever so high...
Near death experiences certainly are traumatising. Yet they engender some lesson. Valuable knowledge that Jigumundo treasures so much.
How could he be so stupid...?!
"Jig!" - Jugumundo heard Melody's echoing voice, as she's trying to reach him through the void. Professor didn't felt anything. Only cold.
"I... I... underestimated him..." - Jig mumbled, regaining his conciousness slowly. He was shaking. His right arm felt... like he'd lost it. No feeling at all. It was limp. He closed his eyes to loose it again and fell to the void...
His palms for the first time stripped of gloves for everyone to see. Filled with scars and poorly healed traces of burns and cuts. Not really a pretty sight. Regaining conciousness again he'd reach his left hand towards Melody.
-"M-Melody...? I'm.. glad you're safe..." - last thing he said befoere the hand fell as he lost it again...
