They've left him alone in his cell.
He can't really be said to be lucid but he has very acute instincts for when there's someone and when he's alone - it's the last of his senses to depart him - and he's alone.
And then suddenly he isn't.

Okay. They had an idea for blocking mages that might sort of work - trying to use the casting sense on too many minds at once is overwhelming, and sentient enchanted things should count. They're thinking about ways they could maybe kill a hostile mage, now - I'm kind of assuming that if it's common knowledge that they can, nobody will give them reason to.
I bet that's the idea, yes. And my brothers don't like feeling helpless. If they have a plan even if it's not perfect, they don't feel like they're just existing by the continued grace of someone powerful enough to wipe them out - sort of like how you described your people feeling about the elves, it forces one to be so small and my brothers can't do it very well -
I wish you'd met them in better times, we're usually very generous people in every sense. My father and brother dying and me being worse than dead was so hard.
I bet killing the Enemy will help. And then if he thinks this is real he'll kill himself and that will not help. But.

Yeah. I meant in the meantime, though. They seem to be having trouble with the idea that things won't just go right back to how they were, and I know you plan on basically pretending that they have, but that sounds really hard if you have to do it all the time and with people who know you well.
