Zere was dying. Like, really dying. Sure, he was already dead, in the Spirit Realm, but now, here, he found his image... Flickering. As if his spirit were being destroyed. As if he were ceasing to exist. Why? It had been the Chains of Prometheus spell he'd used during the Second Sage War. He'd known it would come back to haunt him, and now, it was time for him to experience death...
But he wasn't going to go down without a fight. As he was brought into the Judging Room, the judges couldn't even get a word in before he summoned all the energy he had left to send out five different bursts of his energy outwards, away... And then, he died... Permanently.
Zere was dead.
