Hughes made the two workers that came for them turn around and walk away confusedly.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRqreu6uyK
'You're sick.' Christine said. 'Don't you feel anything? All those people.'702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrKxgVdho0
​'It's just part of magic.' He replied. 'Magic was never meant to be a gift. Telekinesis, fire. All destructive.'702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4SlfesjBn
'I don't believe that.'702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyY6zv7tCY
'It's true. You were given these powers for a purpose, Christine, and you need to realize this.'702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqi7c4icfG
Ashes were falling around them, a rain of black swans drifting down from the sky.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFa0tlAwih
'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.'702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR69fKeRYrq
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.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3rT27xtwg
With a shaking breath: 'No.'702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkH3qHS4Td
'This is your purpose, goddamit! Magic isn't a fairytale, Christine, it's a weapon, and we're utilizing it the best we can.'702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHru7noMPvV
'No, I refuse to believe that.' She groaned as she rose to her feet.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMecu8uav61
'You're weak.' Hughes spat. 'Weak like your brother.'702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg0ywO3MV5
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.'702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5U63IUJ2m
She turned to face the rubble.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwg1nWwn9e
'Christine. What are you doing? There's nothing left.'702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYas3UFd1F6
'I am not going to let all those people die, Hughes.'702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3eUAFGfCM
'They're already dead!'702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiCvdyywYy
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.'702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEsOPUGsXU
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.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKc8dFuaCH
'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.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EWAtPlGhz
But that's not possible, Hughes thought. It's not goddamn possible. She can't be doing this.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBoAdURMwv
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.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93tDWnVORF
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.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46idyq2ErH
'YAAAAAAAAAAIEEEEEEEEEEEE - ' Christine could feel it draining her, sapping the very life out of her body, killing her -702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FYG5wbqAC
A deafening roar was ascending in volume as the bodies and pieces of WestGo clouded out the sun, sending the city into shadow.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXhM7iyZ0X
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 -702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhURyjm7M6
And it all came cascading down, a shattering boom as the reformed skyscraper dropped to the ground.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBa9f2GWbU
Cries of anguished relief as a flood of people came running out of the building - alive.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA2f96IPzX
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 -702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiJ4gd87kR
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.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhRhmdSeWa
It was her dress, limp, and lying empty on the ashen floor.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0zfoW1vS6
With her final spell, the Void had taken Christine.702Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mZJvRs2Wv
Bound by the lives she saved.8964 copyright protection698ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1urCHDAyt 維尼
