Hughes made the two workers that came for them turn around and walk away confusedly.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b8zA0iWAS
'You're sick.' Christine said. 'Don't you feel anything? All those people.'670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W1ojFPF8q
'It's just part of magic.' He replied. 'Magic was never meant to be a gift. Telekinesis, fire. All destructive.'670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc09dWo3bzX
'I don't believe that.'670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNVK789iyd
'It's true. You were given these powers for a purpose, Christine, and you need to realize this.'670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtbP0O5bnF
Ashes were falling around them, a rain of black swans drifting down from the sky.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeDyTo0ecd
'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.'670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf2HjdBR69
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.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukv7Xn3FRi
With a shaking breath: 'No.'670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV7O2zG9T7
'This is your purpose, goddamit! Magic isn't a fairytale, Christine, it's a weapon, and we're utilizing it the best we can.'670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ9y09uhnh
'No, I refuse to believe that.' She groaned as she rose to her feet.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tN3OLUDyg
'You're weak.' Hughes spat. 'Weak like your brother.'670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBE66aJhVR
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.'670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p1Vtu0JDf
She turned to face the rubble.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8Aq5GiQqu
'Christine. What are you doing? There's nothing left.'670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6J0Rsc68b
'I am not going to let all those people die, Hughes.'670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgrhBX6aGm
'They're already dead!'670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xtxCZ5GzL
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.'670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dmzFXKPRA
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.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvsfBObCrA
'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.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7edWpoknq
But that's not possible, Hughes thought. It's not goddamn possible. She can't be doing this.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgQnNCc1Qi
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.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaajyRS0iKQ
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.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdvK0ZVI3L
'YAAAAAAAAAAIEEEEEEEEEEEE - ' Christine could feel it draining her, sapping the very life out of her body, killing her -670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywEH9RTv1F
A deafening roar was ascending in volume as the bodies and pieces of WestGo clouded out the sun, sending the city into shadow.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMHNvT593K
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 -670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4AlZkI3gQ
And it all came cascading down, a shattering boom as the reformed skyscraper dropped to the ground.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6gJU1ypz9
Cries of anguished relief as a flood of people came running out of the building - alive.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kXxfCDBH1
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 -670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sqU3QBOtH
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.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bYxqv1xk6
It was her dress, limp, and lying empty on the ashen floor.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb1LJmiKH3
With her final spell, the Void had taken Christine.670Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7pwXP6tYo
Bound by the lives she saved.
