'...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?'734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcNnRGJZkE
'That's right. And then I came back.'734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWIfPZTnYr
'What was it like?'734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZXICjOTvj
'Death? The eternal Void?'734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZ792SxvAJ
'The other side.'734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3WmLw7osN
'...It was beautiful.'
It was strange, then, that it was only when the world became aware of magic that it finally disappeared.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ycFcBcvoR
The chain of High Priestesses was broken - the Void no longer had a single master to answer to, and Floor Twelve Minus became powerless.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNEN8D0gaN
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.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkGEm0xOD8
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.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZpLubauF9
Apart from one.
'Come on, daddy, one more trick!'734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBssWJsxKBE
'Alright, alright, Christine.' Hughes laughed gently. 'Take a look in these cups. See that they're all empty...'734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG1yfo5Cib
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.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB5Dbjh3pe
'What's in this cup?'734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAWn4ZNI89
Christine giggled. 'It's empty!'734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaqcfLww8L
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.'734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRnv5hXwjd
The sun was setting on the long summer day, and he smiled as he set the child down in her bed.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrg2wMIX582
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.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8rwK0TZSn
He had always believed that magic was destructive. The Bind ensured it. People died for their petty tricks.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAKtKVDXDK
But that woman - she had died to save others with magic.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bCl5v7fqa
She had sacrificed herself.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXLmGPHD1Q
Holding that dress in his hands, Hughes had cried for a reason, that then, he did not understand.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdWGwIcQFO
'Come now, Percy. Let's enjoy the last of the light.'734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NnAjSbJhp
'Comin', Maddy.'734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GoHHMF6tC
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.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8ldsYfPR9
'Every day, it gets me. Just how beautiful it is.' Maddy wraps her arm around Hughes' shoulders and holds him close.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w0YlQ5yTj
'It's quite the sight, isn't it.' He sighed gently, holding her even tighter next to his body.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kcFiajalF
He never tried magic again, after. He didn't even know that his powers had vanished completely.734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwQziBTQs5
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 -734Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0PKC8AqUR
Love was the most powerful magic of them all.
