Hughes made the two workers that came for them turn around and walk away confusedly.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNXwBAy5G9
'You're sick.' Christine said. 'Don't you feel anything? All those people.'687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5ZFbf92hU
​'It's just part of magic.' He replied. 'Magic was never meant to be a gift. Telekinesis, fire. All destructive.'687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6Snq4wbTV
'I don't believe that.'687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jol0WZEwN
'It's true. You were given these powers for a purpose, Christine, and you need to realize this.'687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobywLJv3f0
Ashes were falling around them, a rain of black swans drifting down from the sky.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9nhwOlmmd
'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.'687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmEu0vIM5K
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.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJREkZs1q8m
With a shaking breath: 'No.'687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctDk4rnm7o
'This is your purpose, goddamit! Magic isn't a fairytale, Christine, it's a weapon, and we're utilizing it the best we can.'687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsk7t6Z5oI
'No, I refuse to believe that.' She groaned as she rose to her feet.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfHETXmoUB
'You're weak.' Hughes spat. 'Weak like your brother.'687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4msKDLsfW
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.'687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9PwlQMVEO
She turned to face the rubble.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmjmpl1uDI
'Christine. What are you doing? There's nothing left.'687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQaICIlqP4
'I am not going to let all those people die, Hughes.'687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoSwGXtwLm
'They're already dead!'687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgs27qpx7f
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.'687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g6cvF2ngQ
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.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7KQEUvlu9
'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.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQGDbuCwR3
But that's not possible, Hughes thought. It's not goddamn possible. She can't be doing this.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvhqJLUm5x
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.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZhN0AiQtK
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.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLZ76zQSy4
'YAAAAAAAAAAIEEEEEEEEEEEE - ' Christine could feel it draining her, sapping the very life out of her body, killing her -687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRTXcN1ptQ
A deafening roar was ascending in volume as the bodies and pieces of WestGo clouded out the sun, sending the city into shadow.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTyGHupPXZ
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 -687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBw0kbMwgK
And it all came cascading down, a shattering boom as the reformed skyscraper dropped to the ground.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPveLVHSGKf
Cries of anguished relief as a flood of people came running out of the building - alive.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aJqHyMAus
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 -687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2URFRgdfza
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.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8f4HvXOW7
It was her dress, limp, and lying empty on the ashen floor.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnDjobbm0n
With her final spell, the Void had taken Christine.687Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6GXekdcpw
Bound by the lives she saved.8964 copyright protection683ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLJXyOzxFh 維尼
