When Travis turned back to the group, Nemo had a notable goofy smirk on his face, signaling that he was holding back a laugh. Apparently Samuel's final stand had tickled him. However his pleased expression suddenly dissipated when he heard a stir coming from the corpse. 

[color=8493ca]"What have ye done? Without that... we're all [i]doomed[/i]... Witho-"[/color] The skeleton uttered before suddenly being cut off. It's blue life-essence in it's eye sockets flushed out, instead replaced by a darker glow from within it's chest cavity. Sammy's clothes seemed to suddenly get torn and sucked in, revealing a solid ball of navy energy. Next his ribs cracked and collapsed in on themselves, dissipating into the void. Soon his entire body had imploded into the energy ball, slowly increasing it's size until it started to devour the surrounding wall and throne. 

Nemo himself began to feel the pull of the magic anomaly, causing him to begin to backpedal away from it.[color=c0c0c0] "The trees out there, did anyone else notice something strange about them?"[/color] He asked. [color=c0c0c0]"They weren't real. Not a single speck of mana lurking within. It's why he's the only thing that's aged here."[/color] He elaborated. [color=c0c0c0]"The Paragon has been generating this whole island. It must be one giant fake construct imagined by Samuel in his dying breath, and now that he's gone... the whole thing is collapsing in on itself."[/color] By the time he finished Nemo had a hard time still backing up, feeling like he was fighting against a heavy hurricane. He nearly tripped on the body of Rutger sliding by before being devoured by the bonafide black hole. [color=c0c0c0]"Watch out."[/color] He muttered. 

At this rate it seemed like the only way out was in.
