Shock and bewilderment all around. I knew this would-

Nao: “Slow down, I’ll explain how this happened.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAoDf9P54sgg
317Please respect copyright.PENANAgMtb4p05dl
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANAm7uSpw9qb7
317Please respect copyright.PENANARAb4e9jaSS
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...”
317Please respect copyright.PENANA5GxAAFNtuY
317Please respect copyright.PENANAiziOXwUR2l
Anthony: “Anyway, I understand why you hid it until you got stronger.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAtRKviQ2z1Y
317Please respect copyright.PENANAKDeFUzmGcM
Tallow: “But it’s a bit disappointing, the loser hero we thought beat the bullies against all odds used OP magic.”

No, No, No! This is not what I….Arc!

317Please respect copyright.PENANAoQGmxP0DvQ
317Please respect copyright.PENANAWbGW3PlJex
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!”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAJZqBLu7o2s

317Please respect copyright.PENANAjn5Y82RxH0
Anthony: “Let’s slow down and refocus. We’ll have plenty of time to think about this over the weekend. For now, let’s plan out Alyson’s downfall.”

Mat: “Oh yeah, almost forgot about that.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAlpyx6inUiY

Nao: “Yeah?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAYXhl4c37Kk
317Please respect copyright.PENANAm3OflITBjH

317Please respect copyright.PENANAGsVLDDVW00

Nao: “So that’s your plan?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAnz3J0OhH79
317Please respect copyright.PENANAGA7cnXVLCp
Anthony: “Make her fall in love and break her heart. Don’t you have the perfect ability for it, a chad form to sweep her off her feet?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANA9jCubxcEVj
317Please respect copyright.PENANAQNmT2iVGZW

317Please respect copyright.PENANAhO7rcPH1Eh
317Please respect copyright.PENANAGF7jNG9Vrf

317Please respect copyright.PENANA74N7OADulv
317Please respect copyright.PENANAsuuLYAFY4f
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?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAky5UFfG9Sc
317Please respect copyright.PENANAVnBkukZKkw
Anthony: “I’m sure Nao, the great mage, can defend himself against a mere bully and surpass his ability to court the queen.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANANoX2sTtFS3
317Please respect copyright.PENANAITzd5Wef6v
Nao: “I don’t know, he scared even Anton and he's super attractive. Is he just a mere bully?”
317Please respect copyright.PENANATrYe3WxiNa
317Please respect copyright.PENANAjq5CmMB7AF
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.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAJHhbu6nRow

Nao: “I guess, I’ll trust your judgment.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAjsGoMseH7h

Anthony: “Mind reading might come in handy.”
317Please respect copyright.PENANAQFcxYAmD5i
317Please respect copyright.PENANA8wpwFGVbGw
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.

317Please respect copyright.PENANAStwiOODQHd
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.
317Please respect copyright.PENANA8j1QijZSAR
317Please respect copyright.PENANA6RFBZiZhMQ
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.
