Hughes made the two workers that came for them turn around and walk away confusedly.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJlMRKPCYC
'You're sick.' Christine said. 'Don't you feel anything? All those people.'659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmbAXZbevP
'It's just part of magic.' He replied. 'Magic was never meant to be a gift. Telekinesis, fire. All destructive.'659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS6TZfyLWb
'I don't believe that.'659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOBjyrl7dd
'It's true. You were given these powers for a purpose, Christine, and you need to realize this.'659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvyCZNRsOF
Ashes were falling around them, a rain of black swans drifting down from the sky.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qohAnuRUI
'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.'659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrdqsXzUeL
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.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO62VVJvwX
With a shaking breath: 'No.'659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OoPY32uAz
'This is your purpose, goddamit! Magic isn't a fairytale, Christine, it's a weapon, and we're utilizing it the best we can.'659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x4VxQlaj8
'No, I refuse to believe that.' She groaned as she rose to her feet.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlaEIuSbWH
'You're weak.' Hughes spat. 'Weak like your brother.'659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosDKCCtXnt
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.'659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLztgs8wsW
She turned to face the rubble.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpokU9kiO96
'Christine. What are you doing? There's nothing left.'659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBXjAOQHQj
'I am not going to let all those people die, Hughes.'659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunUaMdKm7o
'They're already dead!'659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtEYrqI7mw
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.'659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQMhC6NdXR
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.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUZRIzVgXX
'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.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MJptsBjC3
But that's not possible, Hughes thought. It's not goddamn possible. She can't be doing this.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFVrGyKg7J
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.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNfrvsZVex
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.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGDMvIb7tH
'YAAAAAAAAAAIEEEEEEEEEEEE - ' Christine could feel it draining her, sapping the very life out of her body, killing her -659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tFC4bk7Bd
A deafening roar was ascending in volume as the bodies and pieces of WestGo clouded out the sun, sending the city into shadow.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMB8StMgMm
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 -659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcreQcath4W
And it all came cascading down, a shattering boom as the reformed skyscraper dropped to the ground.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IjZSjbr1Z
Cries of anguished relief as a flood of people came running out of the building - alive.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTKYwEjrvZ
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 -659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde6fsyFpob
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.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3lgHdX6As
It was her dress, limp, and lying empty on the ashen floor.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxJhW4r7Kq
With her final spell, the Void had taken Christine.659Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3zTyMLRYj
Bound by the lives she saved.
