He had stayed behind as long as he could, thinking Amalia was behind him, feeling her in his thoughts and through the Attuned bond. He turned as soon as he made it through the window, white wings flapping as he waited for her to emerge on his tailfeathers, but as she followed the world collapsed around him and he could barely dodge the debris that rained down, striking them both, tearing feathers from his wings and battering his small raven body.
He had fallen, and when the dust had cleared he saw Amalia beside him, frighteningly human and trapped beneath the rock and he gasped, choking on dust. "Amalia! Help!" he tried to yell, coughing instead as feathers fell away to skin and he crawled to her side, kneeling at her head and pressing his hands to her shoulders, pushing his Healing power into her as he stared at the rock and furiously tried to break it apart with his magic - to no avail.
