399Please respect copyright.PENANAxBJU6Ga2bg
399Please respect copyright.PENANAJbvPdLg1Pn
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.

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...”
399Please respect copyright.PENANAt4YlTWa99k
399Please respect copyright.PENANAp0lTDAp8Dm

399Please respect copyright.PENANA9hdWLdaqYF
399Please respect copyright.PENANAftebLt7Nul
Nao: “I don’t know, he scared even Anton and he's super attractive. Is he just a mere bully?”
399Please respect copyright.PENANA7VJRVSWvmD
399Please respect copyright.PENANAbFMXLlizEP
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.”

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.
