'...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?'638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nZz7R7eIY
'That's right. And then I came back.'638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe8KLy50aD
'What was it like?'638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86Erdb23Xb
'Death? The eternal Void?'638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8pP1czLCl
'The other side.'638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIaNrLQ9lV
'...It was beautiful.'
It was strange, then, that it was only when the world became aware of magic that it finally disappeared.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kH8v8pdnI
The chain of High Priestesses was broken - the Void no longer had a single master to answer to, and Floor Twelve Minus became powerless.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxS5IRsdor
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.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M2tyMlV2V
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.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm11U5vjRa
Apart from one.
'Come on, daddy, one more trick!'638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ML5LRdVbq
'Alright, alright, Christine.' Hughes laughed gently. 'Take a look in these cups. See that they're all empty...'638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6CdOmkhmw
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.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf53nR7zmJQ
'What's in this cup?'638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQInK1IY2R8
Christine giggled. 'It's empty!'638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkM7VYuwGV
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.'638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhug8FHO1A
The sun was setting on the long summer day, and he smiled as he set the child down in her bed.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXZREpGJlJ
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.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikozjKbzqq
He had always believed that magic was destructive. The Bind ensured it. People died for their petty tricks.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTscOdch9a
But that woman - she had died to save others with magic.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxRSlddSLD
She had sacrificed herself.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTIu59OorH
Holding that dress in his hands, Hughes had cried for a reason, that then, he did not understand.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EfbdgW1uu
'Come now, Percy. Let's enjoy the last of the light.'638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ771678eApc
'Comin', Maddy.'638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0iOiYkJmb
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.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0FpB7eGny
'Every day, it gets me. Just how beautiful it is.' Maddy wraps her arm around Hughes' shoulders and holds him close.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1ExgO136t
'It's quite the sight, isn't it.' He sighed gently, holding her even tighter next to his body.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiryWFB7Kv4
He never tried magic again, after. He didn't even know that his powers had vanished completely.638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm7m1Q9cu8
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 -638Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJo3ZWuKzX
Love was the most powerful magic of them all.
