After much difficulty, he slowly opened his eyes but because of the thick dust, he couldn't see anything. He closed his eyes once more before gathering the strength to get up. The first thing he did was try to raise his head but he found he couldn't move. Sighing in frustration he relaxed his head on the ground and tried to move his finger.
His finger did move but his entire body was being crushed by a hip of boulders and rocks. If this was any other day he wouldn't have a problem removing the rocks. He would have turned these minor things to dust and freed himself but today things were different.
He had little to no strength to lift his head let alone engage his aether. Feeling ill at ease he tried to calm his mind and fix his thoughts on his beloved who had abandoned him. He couldn't understand what part of 'don't you ever leave me' didn't Ji Yao understand. Was it the 'don't' or 'leave' part that didn't make sense?
