Panic sent a jolt through his system, reigniting his heart and making him gasp for air.
"Shlee?" he called to her through coughing fits as his lungs refilled again and again. Drawing in as much air as he could, he leaned over her, pressed his lips to hers, and forced air into her lungs.
Without warning, Eldon found himself flung off her until his back slammed against a solid rock wall. He just managed to keep his head from cracking against it as he picked himself up and looked to his girlfriend.
"Shlee? Are you all right?" he asked, unable to interpret the look on her face.
"Oh, yeah," Oberon chuckled as he destroyed the barrier and flew through. "I should have mentioned that it hurts like Medusa's snakes are using your nutsack like a punching bag."
Eldon ignored the annoying little man as he stared at his girlfriend, afraid of what the null-magic screen did to her.
