'...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?'736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV7iGF94fM
'That's right. And then I came back.'736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIXpEL3fBd
'What was it like?'736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOBW9A1iYS
'Death? The eternal Void?'736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRkF0puDwU
'The other side.'736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNL3RfiGmC
'...It was beautiful.'
It was strange, then, that it was only when the world became aware of magic that it finally disappeared.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUl49ea82h
The chain of High Priestesses was broken - the Void no longer had a single master to answer to, and Floor Twelve Minus became powerless.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZRGO1tHJG
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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBdYiWLFPv
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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsQUPJotVC
Apart from one.
'Come on, daddy, one more trick!'736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmEyerQUTy
'Alright, alright, Christine.' Hughes laughed gently. 'Take a look in these cups. See that they're all empty...'736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S9jjGDBmX
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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyRynWja0G
'What's in this cup?'736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwoQ0HLhbe
Christine giggled. 'It's empty!'736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6KKKHU1ed
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.'736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7GecVwC8t
The sun was setting on the long summer day, and he smiled as he set the child down in her bed.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7ZFzT5fyG
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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYbbszAj98
He had always believed that magic was destructive. The Bind ensured it. People died for their petty tricks.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyP4T82xOK
But that woman - she had died to save others with magic.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyPzRLfh3F
She had sacrificed herself.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6jiugJhdY
Holding that dress in his hands, Hughes had cried for a reason, that then, he did not understand.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP879y5Hqsn
'Come now, Percy. Let's enjoy the last of the light.'736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf3yBgXeQg
'Comin', Maddy.'736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rs7FHpoC8
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.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqbU8VSV8c
'Every day, it gets me. Just how beautiful it is.' Maddy wraps her arm around Hughes' shoulders and holds him close.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUGs1xYBLN
'It's quite the sight, isn't it.' He sighed gently, holding her even tighter next to his body.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dHktvoDPY
He never tried magic again, after. He didn't even know that his powers had vanished completely.736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtHovIFpPB
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 -736Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi0WFSQ9jd
Love was the most powerful magic of them all.
