Hughes made the two workers that came for them turn around and walk away confusedly.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHxUuezmCu
'You're sick.' Christine said. 'Don't you feel anything? All those people.'708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YWz3qFTRS
'It's just part of magic.' He replied. 'Magic was never meant to be a gift. Telekinesis, fire. All destructive.'708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm1QYdN8Aa
'I don't believe that.'708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpiujFIrsp
'It's true. You were given these powers for a purpose, Christine, and you need to realize this.'708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjM4h9h199
Ashes were falling around them, a rain of black swans drifting down from the sky.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNPCOY1FIF
'Christine. Listen to me. You're special. You're the most powerful of all of us. And you can still join us. You can be reborn as part of Floor Twelve Minus.'708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LZDr6oF9G
The woman cried. She had nothing left - her job was gone, she had no family, and the struggle had drained all the life out of her.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqIZDfoJuE
With a shaking breath: 'No.'708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjvWFRRFUP
'This is your purpose, goddamit! Magic isn't a fairytale, Christine, it's a weapon, and we're utilizing it the best we can.'708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGRPY5eIYd
'No, I refuse to believe that.' She groaned as she rose to her feet.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqlJx63svN
'You're weak.' Hughes spat. 'Weak like your brother.'708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4cET4Da5Q
Christine slapped him. 'I don't know who you're talking about. But he sounds like a man who does not deserve to be spoken about like that.'708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpEPYV84np
She turned to face the rubble.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2MwSubYvK
'Christine. What are you doing? There's nothing left.'708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs29lBXEYm
'I am not going to let all those people die, Hughes.'708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIxlR2txbX
'They're already dead!'708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu2hFvNhYO
Christine stared on at the pile of concrete and glass, a face that aged within just a few days carved into a look of determination. 'That's not going to stop me.'708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT88WZAtU4
With a strenuous roar, she lifted her hands and the pieces of the WestGo building slowly began rolling to the center of the ruin, crashing against each other as the service workers ran around in alarm.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuNsm4vxJL
'Aaaaaaaaaargh!' The pieces were floating now, dripping dust and stones onto the bodies beneath, until they, too, rose into the sky, like puppets suspended by the strings of heaven.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WvZEXwt23
But that's not possible, Hughes thought. It's not goddamn possible. She can't be doing this.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhe9CXIp6Y
There were groans as pieces of steel bent, a flurry of activity as discarded bolts and supports on the ground spun into the air, shards of glass shooting up like a flock of shimmering doves, tinkling as they gathered into radially cracked panes.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKWxNLJ5cU
Christine's veins were pulsing, an overflow of energy pouring from the ground through her body, ripples of the Void sending undulations through the air.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KdvkTQ8RB
'YAAAAAAAAAAIEEEEEEEEEEEE - ' Christine could feel it draining her, sapping the very life out of her body, killing her -708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvoy988KPB
A deafening roar was ascending in volume as the bodies and pieces of WestGo clouded out the sun, sending the city into shadow.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbsUgnp1nh
Slowly, heavily, they began spinning in the air, some rising, some falling, all slowly being drawn into the center like a giant suspended centrifuge, crashes of smoke and dust, screams of exclamation from the people watching below as it began taking on a shape, a triangular prism reaching up into the sky -708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6ya7uVzco
And it all came cascading down, a shattering boom as the reformed skyscraper dropped to the ground.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQqocHfBij
Cries of anguished relief as a flood of people came running out of the building - alive.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TRXvfbFMn
Hughes looked on in amazement - Christine had revived them all. Not just one human, but thousands of actual people. Back on earth to feel the warmth of a loved one's embrace, back on earth to cry and smile -708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU9IbuH9KM
He didn't even try to fight it. He just turned back to the empty space in front of him, and in a daze, walked over to the object on the ground.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejNDIUTLuf
It was her dress, limp, and lying empty on the ashen floor.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7KWxwBTM5
With her final spell, the Void had taken Christine.708Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaXhSErt25
Bound by the lives she saved.
