Asher disables her shields..which clatter off like glass panels. She floats over to Ophelia. "....you did not." As she says this, Samuel walks over to Jeiel and touches his pulse.

".....I sense.. life from him.....how?"

"Death Trance." Ash says with finality. "It's a spell of high order made possible by Circe. When the body enters a state of corruption.. it spreads it out quickly and then suspends it, carefully allowing the body to wear out the invading element and prompt its leave. As a result... the body 'fakes death' to trick the magical curse. This spell is what has allowed Circe to avoid magical annihilation for years."

Ash looks at Jeiel. "He is dead...and at the same time... he is only dead for now." She bends to Jeiel's paled face. "That thing that emerged...it is one of the things that constitute his existence...reacting to the corruption that took place in his body. It is not your fault... Ophelia Kifer."
