'...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?'689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWOsMTfvB3
'That's right. And then I came back.'689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCkRCmhK3C
'What was it like?'689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmECBx0WV6
'Death? The eternal Void?'689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgHSiuf8Zs
'The other side.'689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMjiuBPrq3
'...It was beautiful.'
It was strange, then, that it was only when the world became aware of magic that it finally disappeared.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iGdViqEtt
The chain of High Priestesses was broken - the Void no longer had a single master to answer to, and Floor Twelve Minus became powerless.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLCwEu94Zl
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.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInMMRHUqtQ
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.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UkPcRMWLi
Apart from one.
'Come on, daddy, one more trick!'689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveoEGy7yVO
'Alright, alright, Christine.' Hughes laughed gently. 'Take a look in these cups. See that they're all empty...'689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoA7rs9hYe
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.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtoSvm2G79
'What's in this cup?'689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAvVPlT4AC
Christine giggled. 'It's empty!'689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt7RllUX2z
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.'689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N8ZvPTX6g
The sun was setting on the long summer day, and he smiled as he set the child down in her bed.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1ITs62G7g
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.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BqBo2rTPk
He had always believed that magic was destructive. The Bind ensured it. People died for their petty tricks.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEU8AuODP0
But that woman - she had died to save others with magic.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOsYayRYIp
She had sacrificed herself.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6sGamTsig
Holding that dress in his hands, Hughes had cried for a reason, that then, he did not understand.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pIru2OIa5
'Come now, Percy. Let's enjoy the last of the light.'689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsZqeq23DD
'Comin', Maddy.'689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKNakIHBbI
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.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsALzkKxlfS
'Every day, it gets me. Just how beautiful it is.' Maddy wraps her arm around Hughes' shoulders and holds him close.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGaBUOkM1g
'It's quite the sight, isn't it.' He sighed gently, holding her even tighter next to his body.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3iRGWYDYo
He never tried magic again, after. He didn't even know that his powers had vanished completely.689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygboL3exAP
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 -689Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq3E6wzRLj
Love was the most powerful magic of them all.
