'...And on the eight o clock news, we have Sally Heighton live on the premises of what can only be called an otherworldly miracle. The city of Newton watched in amazement earlier this afternoon as the WestGo skyscraper was destroyed by fire, but nothing could have prepared us for what came next...'
'So you died in the fire?'869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiYjHPFtug
'That's right. And then I came back.'869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzXY1zsi4p
'What was it like?'869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMV97N6D8z
'Death? The eternal Void?'869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmMNEvsskZ
'The other side.'869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcd4CaIMae
'...It was beautiful.'
It was strange, then, that it was only when the world became aware of magic that it finally disappeared.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6P1Bqw0Hi
The chain of High Priestesses was broken - the Void no longer had a single master to answer to, and Floor Twelve Minus became powerless.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uJjipdODM
Stanley Gorge, a bumbling policeman, only comprehended the mad woman's report at the station after the event. He had learnt enough to find the hideout of Floor Twelve Minus, and ordered a DNA swab of the premises.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbhb7YPmsW
The manhunt lasted nine months, and eventually every single member of the elusive organization was found and brought to justice, a life sentence in prison.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2Hhl1IKCD
Apart from one.
'Come on, daddy, one more trick!'869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6ZQf2wGAb
'Alright, alright, Christine.' Hughes laughed gently. 'Take a look in these cups. See that they're all empty...'869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWNUAeVRS5
Madeleine watched on happily, and took a sip of her tea. She was almost twenty years younger than Percy, but age didn't stop her from falling in love with such a beautiful heart. He never talked about his past, but she knew that she loved him, and their daughter, precious Christine.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVyP2w6QtH
'What's in this cup?'869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhjRpoFbOl
Christine giggled. 'It's empty!'869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme506Z540y
Hughes chortled as he lifted up the cup to reveal a little model snowman. He hugged the laughing girl. 'Come on now, time for bed.'869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLCIiW3J8K
The sun was setting on the long summer day, and he smiled as he set the child down in her bed.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOQxuWixSF
He had changed his name, of course, after that day. Percy Lowe. Something had touched that man very deep inside his cold heart - an act of love.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYDCXJAh9D
He had always believed that magic was destructive. The Bind ensured it. People died for their petty tricks.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxFqCb7abw
But that woman - she had died to save others with magic.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu1RLl4xbH
She had sacrificed herself.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGTlHOdmUk
Holding that dress in his hands, Hughes had cried for a reason, that then, he did not understand.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELg0plJcqJ
'Come now, Percy. Let's enjoy the last of the light.'869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5KBAr9rY8
'Comin', Maddy.'869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cDgJSvduj
He took a seat next to his wife on the steps of the front porch, and watched the dying day on the fields of their farm.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrloOLMP3Lq
'Every day, it gets me. Just how beautiful it is.' Maddy wraps her arm around Hughes' shoulders and holds him close.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ19lGJrmfT
'It's quite the sight, isn't it.' He sighed gently, holding her even tighter next to his body.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQKbvnBLl9
He never tried magic again, after. He didn't even know that his powers had vanished completely.869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W9omhENrl
Because he learned, because he knew, from that day till the day he would return to the Void - this day, smelling jasmine tea near husky grasses and swinging to the sparrows cooing in the distance -869Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1MrkQpX0r
Love was the most powerful magic of them all.
