Hughes made the two workers that came for them turn around and walk away confusedly.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfRyftYvhS
'You're sick.' Christine said. 'Don't you feel anything? All those people.'725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFuUayriWF
​'It's just part of magic.' He replied. 'Magic was never meant to be a gift. Telekinesis, fire. All destructive.'725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGfIIQsx2F
'I don't believe that.'725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PfNhSJUTL
'It's true. You were given these powers for a purpose, Christine, and you need to realize this.'725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDqBcLsE0E
Ashes were falling around them, a rain of black swans drifting down from the sky.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGLcJPJsOa
'Christine. Listen to me. You're special. You're the most powerful of all of us. And you can still join us. You can be reborn as part of Floor Twelve Minus.'725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH57OrRzBXr
The woman cried. She had nothing left - her job was gone, she had no family, and the struggle had drained all the life out of her.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6k8oICzAE
With a shaking breath: 'No.'725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxi8RSK9AV
'This is your purpose, goddamit! Magic isn't a fairytale, Christine, it's a weapon, and we're utilizing it the best we can.'725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZohNVvOgL
'No, I refuse to believe that.' She groaned as she rose to her feet.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWVt3lCIlI
'You're weak.' Hughes spat. 'Weak like your brother.'725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqS1MrEzjJ
Christine slapped him. 'I don't know who you're talking about. But he sounds like a man who does not deserve to be spoken about like that.'725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOL3y7yLxO
She turned to face the rubble.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaB1NsA38S
'Christine. What are you doing? There's nothing left.'725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bFMnqPQCJ
'I am not going to let all those people die, Hughes.'725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiMOGPYjzM
'They're already dead!'725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtu1GjRUkz
Christine stared on at the pile of concrete and glass, a face that aged within just a few days carved into a look of determination. 'That's not going to stop me.'725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFF8ZEMTCpw
With a strenuous roar, she lifted her hands and the pieces of the WestGo building slowly began rolling to the center of the ruin, crashing against each other as the service workers ran around in alarm.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2XEsAwlSN
'Aaaaaaaaaargh!' The pieces were floating now, dripping dust and stones onto the bodies beneath, until they, too, rose into the sky, like puppets suspended by the strings of heaven.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD39Y3G7WJ
But that's not possible, Hughes thought. It's not goddamn possible. She can't be doing this.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwTgtxzB6J
There were groans as pieces of steel bent, a flurry of activity as discarded bolts and supports on the ground spun into the air, shards of glass shooting up like a flock of shimmering doves, tinkling as they gathered into radially cracked panes.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq6pXlCpkT
Christine's veins were pulsing, an overflow of energy pouring from the ground through her body, ripples of the Void sending undulations through the air.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu1Xtxghtc
'YAAAAAAAAAAIEEEEEEEEEEEE - ' Christine could feel it draining her, sapping the very life out of her body, killing her -725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8kokw5xRm
A deafening roar was ascending in volume as the bodies and pieces of WestGo clouded out the sun, sending the city into shadow.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgARzIVIrhv
Slowly, heavily, they began spinning in the air, some rising, some falling, all slowly being drawn into the center like a giant suspended centrifuge, crashes of smoke and dust, screams of exclamation from the people watching below as it began taking on a shape, a triangular prism reaching up into the sky -725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxRwUrlytI
And it all came cascading down, a shattering boom as the reformed skyscraper dropped to the ground.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWR9S0eDBI
Cries of anguished relief as a flood of people came running out of the building - alive.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJvB4VAJC7
Hughes looked on in amazement - Christine had revived them all. Not just one human, but thousands of actual people. Back on earth to feel the warmth of a loved one's embrace, back on earth to cry and smile -725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeDzQtIeCh
He didn't even try to fight it. He just turned back to the empty space in front of him, and in a daze, walked over to the object on the ground.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwswPerfFd
It was her dress, limp, and lying empty on the ashen floor.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTlaBzYTz2
With her final spell, the Void had taken Christine.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwldpE7g2m
Bound by the lives she saved.8964 copyright protection721ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJzmeww3aU 維尼
