Zari watched as the sapphire pulsed white light, until it glowed into a white blob, and looked as if it was about to unfuse. He hid it in his hands and hid behind a tree as he watched the sapphire slowly split into two halves. He closed his eyes, and forced it together with his mind. The two white orbs slowly went back into each other, and the sapphire fell back in his hands. He felt a sharp pain in his mind; he couldn't keep it up much longer. A large fracture appeared in the sapphire, going down the center, splitting it into two halves. It barely held together. The gem flopped out of his hands and into the snow, and Zari fell over, his eyes rolled back in his head. Before anyone could notice, he poofed, leaving nothing but a blue sparkle in the snow.
