Xander's prayers went unanswered as the inky darkness stifled his sight. A splitting headache brought him to his knees, and gradually everything around him started looking coarse and grainy.
Within the next few seconds, Xander's vision deteriorated to such an extent that he could barely make out the shapes and colors right in front of him.
Even as the knight marched toward him like an executioner, Xander sat there on his knees, desperately rubbing his eyes and trying to recover his vision.
But alas, the Blind Deity wasn't in the mood to show mercy. Xander's condition went from bad to worse, and within the next few seconds, he turned completely blind. All that he could see now was an inky darkness that obscured his eyes like an unwavering curtain.
