The first thing that Arthur felt was his body hovering from the ground. Then, his vision returned, but it was different from how he saw the world. The entire world was the same color, but to varying degrees. Everything had a different shade of gold, and he realized it was the power of creation behind them.
Arthur looked down at his body and saw that his hands, alongside the rest of his body, had turned matte black. The sole exception was his chest, which had a white circle surrounding the gem, which had also turned black.
"Arthur?" he heard Diana call for him, and he turned to look at her. Arthur saw her as a blazing figure of life, creation, with red, blue, and gold intertwined together. He was mesmerized.
"How long have I been out for?" he asked after regaining his focus.
"Less than a minute," she said with confusion. "Are you… alright?"
