The blackness receded, but the pain and weakness were still very real. Damien was alive, but unable to rise. Apparently, his body was that of a true human. the powers he had just used however, could not have come from such. From the ground, he saw Neisha was still ok and very close to him, trying to cast some kind of a spell. He heard her words, but to him, they made little sense. "The air?" He gasped, holding his stomach. He was awake, at any rate.

I guess now he is floating.
