Hughes made the two workers that came for them turn around and walk away confusedly.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53czOSfec1
'You're sick.' Christine said. 'Don't you feel anything? All those people.'693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq88i7EtYgi
'It's just part of magic.' He replied. 'Magic was never meant to be a gift. Telekinesis, fire. All destructive.'693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWD2JuBOQU
'I don't believe that.'693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA7FsEriLA
'It's true. You were given these powers for a purpose, Christine, and you need to realize this.'693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpBblfnf4j
Ashes were falling around them, a rain of black swans drifting down from the sky.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7II7UvGH6N
'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.'693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9amOv1u0B
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.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAHKxB7lAu
With a shaking breath: 'No.'693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOKsWFrwiq
'This is your purpose, goddamit! Magic isn't a fairytale, Christine, it's a weapon, and we're utilizing it the best we can.'693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6YwZoyejf
'No, I refuse to believe that.' She groaned as she rose to her feet.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOgbk7ddst
'You're weak.' Hughes spat. 'Weak like your brother.'693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjrvID1Mbr
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.'693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkCiksBizP
She turned to face the rubble.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJGo3yBZod
'Christine. What are you doing? There's nothing left.'693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y7uwj5Vzt
'I am not going to let all those people die, Hughes.'693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRxLKVQDNt
'They're already dead!'693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM0FtzblQ1
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.'693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKEqaUIZL1
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.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5FVwwbcOp
'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.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXONZimtKU3
But that's not possible, Hughes thought. It's not goddamn possible. She can't be doing this.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp5bOkYRYL
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.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkAD0DFjcM
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.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtE7prhfDMn
'YAAAAAAAAAAIEEEEEEEEEEEE - ' Christine could feel it draining her, sapping the very life out of her body, killing her -693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgj3eZeMGI
A deafening roar was ascending in volume as the bodies and pieces of WestGo clouded out the sun, sending the city into shadow.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4mbG66wax
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 -693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdvwdd55cT
And it all came cascading down, a shattering boom as the reformed skyscraper dropped to the ground.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3nCmj4Wmz
Cries of anguished relief as a flood of people came running out of the building - alive.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZIEVLazTF
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 -693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBC3zvEUpd
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.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJO9u9Ozpu
It was her dress, limp, and lying empty on the ashen floor.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObBrul8jC8
With her final spell, the Void had taken Christine.693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq1MflsjWW
Bound by the lives she saved.
