Re: Episode 101: The Crow and The Butterfly
"Oh no you don't!" Cell Phone Guy paused with the compressions, and Tom proceeded to breathe air into Ashley's lungs, and then spoke to both her body and her soul: "Ashley, wake up. It's not your time, don't even think about it. Just wake up."
...compression, compression, pause, another breath.
A quick telepathic message to Krystal: {There was some magic at work, but I'm not sure it caused this: the magic seems to be dissipating, but she's getting worse. Did you see anything unusual?}.
He looked at Cell Phone Guy and said: "Let me know if you get tired and want to switch." Tom had no training in medicine, per se, but he knew that, while it may not have looked like it, CPR was hard work. Granted, he knew that because he'd read it on the internet, but it seemed to make sense.
For better ot for worse, mundane reanimation would have to suffice: Tom had a few tricks up his sleeve, sure, but nothing that could magically revive people - he had never gotten the hang of healing magic, and that entire class of spells was notoriously finicky. Besides, his ability to bless people was usually enough for most purposes - except this thing had apparently undone his power in seconds.
Tom was starting to feel angry. It's usually not a good idea to anger a High Bast. Angering this particular High Bast had a pretty high mortality rate.
First, save the girl. Then, if this turned out not to be a natural event... The responsible party was going to have a really bad day.
