Hughes made the two workers that came for them turn around and walk away confusedly.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ5uMR9HAN
'You're sick.' Christine said. 'Don't you feel anything? All those people.'622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx5SITflJq
'It's just part of magic.' He replied. 'Magic was never meant to be a gift. Telekinesis, fire. All destructive.'622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcPu8UotZI
'I don't believe that.'622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXF7MHAhSZ
'It's true. You were given these powers for a purpose, Christine, and you need to realize this.'622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbYVCEDqgr
Ashes were falling around them, a rain of black swans drifting down from the sky.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aGHGqTKEJ
'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.'622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECVm6USorW
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.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuuGvavlde
With a shaking breath: 'No.'622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN656DT7Kj
'This is your purpose, goddamit! Magic isn't a fairytale, Christine, it's a weapon, and we're utilizing it the best we can.'622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEETrDfkFtu
'No, I refuse to believe that.' She groaned as she rose to her feet.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IpkRYmTWF
'You're weak.' Hughes spat. 'Weak like your brother.'622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn6wSr1T9D
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.'622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmJQSRkrcQ
She turned to face the rubble.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImhoe28kLc
'Christine. What are you doing? There's nothing left.'622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVyNffqIGH
'I am not going to let all those people die, Hughes.'622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxftBrEVYhC
'They're already dead!'622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuTPkl5wJF
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.'622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZA27EQMXq
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.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ma6LYa7sU
'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.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD4ivq26hA
But that's not possible, Hughes thought. It's not goddamn possible. She can't be doing this.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLVP0nFGMs
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.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGkmMZDxHt
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.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ990nSGwib8
'YAAAAAAAAAAIEEEEEEEEEEEE - ' Christine could feel it draining her, sapping the very life out of her body, killing her -622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapecav5pvx
A deafening roar was ascending in volume as the bodies and pieces of WestGo clouded out the sun, sending the city into shadow.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv9zgJ4gmw
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 -622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MWTKULtAL
And it all came cascading down, a shattering boom as the reformed skyscraper dropped to the ground.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgLTMeKgg7
Cries of anguished relief as a flood of people came running out of the building - alive.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMUVvfhk5D
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 -622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAg3cnVFAG
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.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs82PNu1wWE
It was her dress, limp, and lying empty on the ashen floor.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4ERY0lG7f
With her final spell, the Void had taken Christine.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj08f6TVX6E
Bound by the lives she saved.
