334Please respect copyright.PENANAMWxEZfJWc0
334Please respect copyright.PENANA76nvlBof36
So I did and they listened with bated breath. They hung on my every word like I was really someone special. Ha, I guess I am. But I did leave out what happened with Anton and kept to the story I told Sever.

334Please respect copyright.PENANAcPCeskuAy2
After I finished explaining there was a period of silence and contemplation. I'm starting to get nervous again, say something.

Anthony: “I get the gist. I’m glad to hear you got this only a few days ago. If you had this power for months didn’t do anything...”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAIFQ0metoZn
334Please respect copyright.PENANAz8ucGedVVn
Anthony: “Anyway, I understand why you hid it until you got stronger.”

Nao: “So that’s your plan?”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAyNAeYYkF8O
334Please respect copyright.PENANArix2BVAikT

334Please respect copyright.PENANAzIzppJ6YRZ
334Please respect copyright.PENANAruADPVnq3k
Nao: “I…guess. But what about the King? He has a massive crush on her. If he can’t do it what chance do I have?”
334Please respect copyright.PENANApBjbBUP5W5
334Please respect copyright.PENANA8FL6ODaJM3

334Please respect copyright.PENANAmKrrc0EUgq
334Please respect copyright.PENANAzpJycSY5BH
Nao: “I don’t know, he scared even Anton and he's super attractive. Is he just a mere bully?”
334Please respect copyright.PENANAYvtN5cnt0x
334Please respect copyright.PENANA10yjGgpY6T

I spend 10 points on charisma and buy mind reading. I go into the magic book and swap out scan for mind reading.

How am I floating in this void? My eyes are gone yet I can see it coming. My heart has been ripped out but I can still feel it beating. My arms and legs…I can’t feel them.

Do I even have a body to move? I can do nothing but sit in the deafening silence and wait for the indescribable to come for me. The void starts to move, even though that shouldn’t be possible.
