The wind rushed by in his ears as he fell finding the soft comfort of clouds as he passed through them like a fallen angel. In a way he was- a man at his prime seeming power beyond what he had been born with. Dworkin had even said he was a gifted youth but the want, no, the need for power would be his undoing.
In a sense it had been.
Deirdre was no doubt falling near him as well somewhere. They had fought in the sky trying to gain control over the dagger that Brand had been holding. It wasn't how he wanted to go out by all means. However it was fitting. He never liked Corwin anyway- this just put a stab into an already open wound. Brand would be back and with vengence.
The landing was anything but graceful for the fallen Prince of Amber. In this forest everyone would hear the proverbial tree fall as his body crashed into the ground. Thankfully the ground was soft due to the mossy floor but, well, crashing through a tree canopy was never a good thing. He was pretty certain that more than a few bones were broken with the feeling of his shoulders and legs being flailed about like a rag doll. For a brief moment he pondered if the same had happened to his older sister and hoped for the worst. If the fall didn't do her in? Well..when he was better..
Opening his mouth to try to speak all that came out was a little struggled sound. 'Damn' passed his thoughts as his green eyes started to close. Thanks be to whatever higher power Amberites healed fast. He wasn't dead yet.
