Hughes made the two workers that came for them turn around and walk away confusedly.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFXHCXe29x
'You're sick.' Christine said. 'Don't you feel anything? All those people.'628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNaXkvFz10
'It's just part of magic.' He replied. 'Magic was never meant to be a gift. Telekinesis, fire. All destructive.'628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvbU7MQOn0
'I don't believe that.'628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlNbejU6KC
'It's true. You were given these powers for a purpose, Christine, and you need to realize this.'628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6s4kAnrQIM
Ashes were falling around them, a rain of black swans drifting down from the sky.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBEsxxsf9M
'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.'628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5cx14de8B
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.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzMaaZj7ho
With a shaking breath: 'No.'628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyDRz5m6ry
'This is your purpose, goddamit! Magic isn't a fairytale, Christine, it's a weapon, and we're utilizing it the best we can.'628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T0519sYwi
'No, I refuse to believe that.' She groaned as she rose to her feet.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwJYqKdzXh
'You're weak.' Hughes spat. 'Weak like your brother.'628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxcX9O0AsD
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.'628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKGCyQfypC
She turned to face the rubble.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf0cpDtzOd
'Christine. What are you doing? There's nothing left.'628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTiUNDsJnJ
'I am not going to let all those people die, Hughes.'628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaK62ZGtBh
'They're already dead!'628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaO07PsPEm
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.'628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIFZFQEuCP
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.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbsCUUXzj6
'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.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTtsimZkBE
But that's not possible, Hughes thought. It's not goddamn possible. She can't be doing this.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzAzvPY11F
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.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3MRgXMZxo
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.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gKeu0GsR3
'YAAAAAAAAAAIEEEEEEEEEEEE - ' Christine could feel it draining her, sapping the very life out of her body, killing her -628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGripAioiW
A deafening roar was ascending in volume as the bodies and pieces of WestGo clouded out the sun, sending the city into shadow.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMqBPMIJQv
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 -628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmfr2ZYP9n
And it all came cascading down, a shattering boom as the reformed skyscraper dropped to the ground.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwd1024uZL
Cries of anguished relief as a flood of people came running out of the building - alive.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr8DF8On2b
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 -628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHIqKk9GDv
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.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMYlmyX1Oo
It was her dress, limp, and lying empty on the ashen floor.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4ujbtVvRe
With her final spell, the Void had taken Christine.628Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA3HqtVNAq
Bound by the lives she saved.
