Time froze. For an eternity, Chadstone was suspended mid-air, blue eyes wide, lips parted, gaze skyward, as if he were looking into the heavens. Then he crumpled to the ground.
One of the others let out a shriek.
Dakshana dropped to her knees, crawled over to him. “Chadstone?” She brushed a lock of pale hair out of his eyes with shaking hands. His breath was light, shallow.
He was smiling. “You did it.”
“What have you done?” the creature shrieked.
“She unmade me,” Chadstone said. “You have your life.” He turned to Dakshana. “Thank you.”
She shook her head.

This is the first time I have actually read the death of Chadstone. So sad though.
