When Safa fell to the floor, for a moment 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 slammed 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 me. 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 moment.
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.
