'...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?'708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW7UGRIGHK
'That's right. And then I came back.'708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChFpfK60RE
'What was it like?'708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MRzv0kSSi
'Death? The eternal Void?'708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN4TjR9HTo
'The other side.'708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW6RI6nb4K
'...It was beautiful.'
It was strange, then, that it was only when the world became aware of magic that it finally disappeared.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMfyveB7Bq
The chain of High Priestesses was broken - the Void no longer had a single master to answer to, and Floor Twelve Minus became powerless.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XdZ7Kq4sH
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.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUomIbGQ5Kh
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.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgfSYLE2ld
Apart from one.
'Come on, daddy, one more trick!'708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhEdxvcfjg
'Alright, alright, Christine.' Hughes laughed gently. 'Take a look in these cups. See that they're all empty...'708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoviT0oOe3
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.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX21Z6WV2g7
'What's in this cup?'708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwut9HoXmRZ
Christine giggled. 'It's empty!'708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4HXQNZoG1
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.'708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bTCn5F9QD
The sun was setting on the long summer day, and he smiled as he set the child down in her bed.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNTrl0Axhe
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.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e0dYfUbOB
He had always believed that magic was destructive. The Bind ensured it. People died for their petty tricks.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwDDLts686
But that woman - she had died to save others with magic.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFJsWOfLu1
She had sacrificed herself.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuqyMevbhl
Holding that dress in his hands, Hughes had cried for a reason, that then, he did not understand.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYiSkO6jOt
'Come now, Percy. Let's enjoy the last of the light.'708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjp68UPeuJ
'Comin', Maddy.'708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNKfgHN7Jh
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.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNNyW5CpA7
'Every day, it gets me. Just how beautiful it is.' Maddy wraps her arm around Hughes' shoulders and holds him close.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoaa8HlAcp
'It's quite the sight, isn't it.' He sighed gently, holding her even tighter next to his body.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZssPO1bd6
He never tried magic again, after. He didn't even know that his powers had vanished completely.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5tbAmB445
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 -708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieARzbwPh9
Love was the most powerful magic of them all.
