"I'm still struggling to understand," James said, his body should have been waking him up when he started to push himself, but that hadn't happened, and he had indeed come back from the dead.
He said these words in the throne room where he had returned after somehow surviving Ariel and Theseus, and then Vlad's words were heard:
"You said you saw the core, right?"
"Yes, what's that got to do with it?" James asked, shaking his head.
"You were able to see the core when your aura and magical energy in your body were depleted, you were as if you were bewitched before you achieved your goal, after all, all that time you wanted to reveal the core, you were so focused that you refused to wake up against all the warnings from your body and tried to fulfil your goal," Vlad replied.
"Well...why didn't you try to stop me?" James asked, and it was a reasonable question.
