'...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?'663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4az1OYw5Qe
'That's right. And then I came back.'663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXUMmHUWCn
'What was it like?'663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6CN6Cbk6m
'Death? The eternal Void?'663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkb4pRm5pf
'The other side.'663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU0MJ6tYEA
'...It was beautiful.'
It was strange, then, that it was only when the world became aware of magic that it finally disappeared.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7AAeFqjjj
The chain of High Priestesses was broken - the Void no longer had a single master to answer to, and Floor Twelve Minus became powerless.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iRyGpP3RW
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.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBzIZ9VeSE
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.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfopPS9Lac2
Apart from one.
'Come on, daddy, one more trick!'663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtoyrQ7lpD
'Alright, alright, Christine.' Hughes laughed gently. 'Take a look in these cups. See that they're all empty...'663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDU6c7ohVM
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.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT7ZgGVdaQ
'What's in this cup?'663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuds0Pt6Bvl
Christine giggled. 'It's empty!'663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ8GlFuLC5
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.'663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3psUCFc0CV
The sun was setting on the long summer day, and he smiled as he set the child down in her bed.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ5OwM8mic
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.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeXFnWuU7F
He had always believed that magic was destructive. The Bind ensured it. People died for their petty tricks.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfTiUgVF69
But that woman - she had died to save others with magic.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoWE0m8z9e
She had sacrificed herself.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡighkU8vpwe
Holding that dress in his hands, Hughes had cried for a reason, that then, he did not understand.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsBhiRJKxy
'Come now, Percy. Let's enjoy the last of the light.'663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpZ0nGm815
'Comin', Maddy.'663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOaeibZCYa
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.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56gcEPL90J
'Every day, it gets me. Just how beautiful it is.' Maddy wraps her arm around Hughes' shoulders and holds him close.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC4MDNdAZw
'It's quite the sight, isn't it.' He sighed gently, holding her even tighter next to his body.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiVsHXDGyF
He never tried magic again, after. He didn't even know that his powers had vanished completely.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfGA9pIJZL
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 -663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoSsALPbwh
Love was the most powerful magic of them all.
