He staggered against a wall, cursing his luck as the light from the sun around him became dimmer, felt cooler. Reaching out a shaking hand he snapped his fingers....for nothing to happen. "An eclipse." he mumbled. It had to happen now?! Right when he was nearly free? Dropping his hand to the wall, he pulled himself along. He'd been depending on his fire powers to get him over the last obstacle. But if there was an eclipse, his powers were now locked away from him. He ducked further into the shadows, wishing the sun would warm him instead of making him feel colder. How long did the eclipse last? He desperately tried to remember. A couple of minutes? An hour? Days? He couldn't recall through his hazy memories of the last time such an event had occurred. He had been only in his first year of school then. He hoped it was short. It had felt like an eternity when he was a kid. But really, it couldn't have been that long of an event. Could it? Whatever the case, he couldn't afford to wait here for long. Someone was bound to notice that he'd escaped by now.
