Istari is a he, by the way.<br/><br/>My breathing becomes labored and my body shakes. Blood drips from my mouth and onto the ground. I cough violently and blood spills onto the ground. I open my eyes and pull myself upright. Rivers of blood pour from my mouth and then with an agonizing roar I fall to the ground. Tears fall from my closed eyes but not movement do I make. My breathing  and the beating of my heart have stopped all together. The cave grows deathly silent.
