Shock and bewilderment all around. I knew this would-

Nao: “Slow down, I’ll explain how this happened.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAKqVSq2XlzM
315Please respect copyright.PENANAqI0imZpqrf
So I did and they listened with bated breath. They hung on my every word like I was really someone special. Ha, I guess I am. But I did leave out what happened with Anton and kept to the story I told Sever.

315Please respect copyright.PENANAbnEobpxOQm
After I finished explaining there was a period of silence and contemplation. I'm starting to get nervous again, say something.

Anthony: “I get the gist. I’m glad to hear you got this only a few days ago. If you had this power for months didn’t do anything...”
315Please respect copyright.PENANANrU0WJFbWk
315Please respect copyright.PENANA66JmYWqqVg
Anthony: “Anyway, I understand why you hid it until you got stronger.”

Tallow: “But it’s a bit disappointing, the loser hero we thought beat the bullies against all odds used OP magic.”

315Please respect copyright.PENANA66IehbH2dU
Nao: “It’s not fair that I’m the only one who gets to fight back and be important. It’s time for people like us to crawl out of the hole life through us in.”

Everyone: “Awesome!”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAxfo21qrqBv

315Please respect copyright.PENANAW4MTpoFQmI
315Please respect copyright.PENANAX7Ynd2Qj2U

315Please respect copyright.PENANAQMyPK7XdZU
315Please respect copyright.PENANAHkSzpAnhHE
Nao: “I…guess. But what about the King? He has a massive crush on her. If he can’t do it what chance do I have?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANA1sQr3HOxsU
315Please respect copyright.PENANAm9kl8vWVfC
Anthony: “I’m sure Nao, the great mage, can defend himself against a mere bully and surpass his ability to court the queen.”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAEriV38Soow
315Please respect copyright.PENANAeyvljl7X3g
Nao: “I don’t know, he scared even Anton and he's super attractive. Is he just a mere bully?”
315Please respect copyright.PENANAgFKEhrfZVa
315Please respect copyright.PENANA7Z9GqRGitI
Anthony: “I’m sure you’ll think of something. I rather us get stronger and deal with the King instead of using the bullies against each other.”

I spend 10 points on charisma and buy mind reading. I go into the magic book and swap out scan for mind reading.

Pitch black, an all-consuming nothingness.

315Please respect copyright.PENANAhWGwVeYj6P
How am I floating in this void? My eyes are gone yet I can see it coming. My heart has been ripped out but I can still feel it beating. My arms and legs…I can’t feel them.
315Please respect copyright.PENANAR7nfOanR7b

Do I even have a body to move? I can do nothing but sit in the deafening silence and wait for the indescribable to come for me. The void starts to move, even though that shouldn’t be possible.
