The combined force of everyone's efforts finally broke through, as with Negi's resolve. In a explosion of shattered stone which flaked into nothing, the young boy lay there, breathing heavily for a moment.
He was shirtless as his outfit had been wrestled off in an attempt to re-seal the gaping hole in his chest. But oddly enough, his entire body was smooth, unmarked, like it had shed its own skin in the process. The scar on his cheek, the line across his arm and the angry looking marks where blades and stone had pierced through it -- all gone.
Life came back into those hazel eyes of his and he looked up at everyone. And in a soft voice, he croaked out, "I saw him. Father. He'll be waiting for me in the end."
