Hughes made the two workers that came for them turn around and walk away confusedly.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjpfE0x73A
'You're sick.' Christine said. 'Don't you feel anything? All those people.'705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgrbgewhrW
'It's just part of magic.' He replied. 'Magic was never meant to be a gift. Telekinesis, fire. All destructive.'705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDTvJygPOj
'I don't believe that.'705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDRNzKsuPm
'It's true. You were given these powers for a purpose, Christine, and you need to realize this.'705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZmoUyDrov
Ashes were falling around them, a rain of black swans drifting down from the sky.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2lzBLlvek
'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.'705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSXdXCeyJ5
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.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOTX2S6GJ3
With a shaking breath: 'No.'705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFbXckfLC8
'This is your purpose, goddamit! Magic isn't a fairytale, Christine, it's a weapon, and we're utilizing it the best we can.'705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx506wN4cQD
'No, I refuse to believe that.' She groaned as she rose to her feet.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFvklDJh8n
'You're weak.' Hughes spat. 'Weak like your brother.'705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirBFnrMV5G
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.'705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2FayReQ1D
She turned to face the rubble.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl5dp5I5sV
'Christine. What are you doing? There's nothing left.'705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0pA2b5q6W
'I am not going to let all those people die, Hughes.'705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtXQ1iA0y5
'They're already dead!'705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1iQElc8Uy
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.'705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDcEQlz5b7
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.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvWbPfbvwp
'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.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf58zw3nFYq
But that's not possible, Hughes thought. It's not goddamn possible. She can't be doing this.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAuW91hPle
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.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mAOtnN4bY
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.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGfvdNzjG4
'YAAAAAAAAAAIEEEEEEEEEEEE - ' Christine could feel it draining her, sapping the very life out of her body, killing her -705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRwFrqMiuu
A deafening roar was ascending in volume as the bodies and pieces of WestGo clouded out the sun, sending the city into shadow.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKlPwEtCaL
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 -705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MXHrlHTWJ
And it all came cascading down, a shattering boom as the reformed skyscraper dropped to the ground.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZxx3EKJ7S
Cries of anguished relief as a flood of people came running out of the building - alive.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGpKuWi23w
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 -705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEgcfeJsHJ
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.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxKEiHZqM8
It was her dress, limp, and lying empty on the ashen floor.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjJMIBaljn
With her final spell, the Void had taken Christine.705Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YZJHy2OeA
Bound by the lives she saved.
