Shock and bewilderment all around. I knew this would-

Anthony: “…”
529Please respect copyright.PENANANCp9IZVVP3
529Please respect copyright.PENANAuKhYj20yII
Nao: “Slow down, I’ll explain how this happened.”
529Please respect copyright.PENANAFzVj348V11
529Please respect copyright.PENANAuVNgINOulP
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.
529Please respect copyright.PENANAY6t9r0N99U
529Please respect copyright.PENANAh9RzobEKPk
After I finished explaining there was a period of silence and contemplation. I'm starting to get nervous again, say something.
529Please respect copyright.PENANAdms7SAUy0v
529Please respect copyright.PENANA576Cj3cMP9
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...”
529Please respect copyright.PENANAmG794Hip6A
529Please respect copyright.PENANAxvUkpXAd9Z
Anthony: “Anyway, I understand why you hid it until you got stronger.”
529Please respect copyright.PENANAxf28rDiC6E
529Please respect copyright.PENANAou76lH1yI3
Tallow: “But it’s a bit disappointing, the loser hero we thought beat the bullies against all odds used OP magic.”
529Please respect copyright.PENANABNj3mNylzI
529Please respect copyright.PENANANnEKQYt5ld
Velo: “Man, some people are just…lucky.”
529Please respect copyright.PENANAwpm8SHgMol

529Please respect copyright.PENANAbHUtG2RF5M
529Please respect copyright.PENANAxyHCbnEuhp
No, No, No! This is not what I….Arc!
529Please respect copyright.PENANA5zby68SCUk

Arc: “Calm down, repeat what I say.”
529Please respect copyright.PENANAO7jamzWOKY
529Please respect copyright.PENANAJO3WyUHqIX

Anthony: “You mean we can use magic too?”
529Please respect copyright.PENANAI6jsLvhvcL
529Please respect copyright.PENANAi2BqHPai2k
Nao: “It’s not fair that I’m the only one who gets to fight back and be important. It’s time for people like us to crawl out of the hole life through us in.”
529Please respect copyright.PENANAW5wZmWkmTZ

Nao: “No wait, it’s my choice. So in other words, what do you want?”
529Please respect copyright.PENANAjKBtVpwbqQ
529Please respect copyright.PENANAXHCVRD7Qru
Everyone: “Awesome!”
529Please respect copyright.PENANAO4UiL0H4OK

529Please respect copyright.PENANAVUwjM8WUM5
529Please respect copyright.PENANAEHrmoo9MZ3
Anthony: “Let’s slow down and refocus. We’ll have plenty of time to think about this over the weekend. For now, let’s plan out Alyson’s downfall.”
529Please respect copyright.PENANA6GJKNmYmNX
529Please respect copyright.PENANAB0gufnrCJn
Mat: “Oh yeah, almost forgot about that.”
529Please respect copyright.PENANAa1ZUFVMuH3
529Please respect copyright.PENANAkwVtdbPI89
Anthony: “I actually thought of the perfect plan. Nao, do you remember when Mat asked Alyson if she has a boyfriend?”

Nao: “Yeah?”
529Please respect copyright.PENANAF4SIdrlduP
529Please respect copyright.PENANAd93jZzGEAQ

Anthony: “Few things bring down a man more than a broken heart.”
529Please respect copyright.PENANAAHlS794gUZ
529Please respect copyright.PENANAgzaIlCgfP0
Nao: “So that’s your plan?”
529Please respect copyright.PENANAaU9aZj9eTA
529Please respect copyright.PENANApR62YAFfws
Anthony: “Make her fall in love and break her heart. Don’t you have the perfect ability for it, a chad form to sweep her off her feet?”
529Please respect copyright.PENANASZZBj6pgNo
529Please respect copyright.PENANAq4p8LJYX5b
Nao: “Let me get this straight, you want me to date my step-sister?”

Mat: “Pretty cool right? I’d do it in a heartbeat.”
529Please respect copyright.PENANANsPv7DmIL3
529Please respect copyright.PENANA8eI2Wd7vEu
Anthony: “You don’t have to bring real feelings into it, just get her to fall for you. That’s it, no need to get physical.”
529Please respect copyright.PENANAfv76gJTTbn
529Please respect copyright.PENANA1XxmF22izh
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?”
529Please respect copyright.PENANATYQs9ZMNqR
529Please respect copyright.PENANAsyshSe4wZP
Anthony: “I’m sure Nao, the great mage, can defend himself against a mere bully and surpass his ability to court the queen.”
529Please respect copyright.PENANA7PGJpoVgt0
529Please respect copyright.PENANAzTQ0r3jJYh
Nao: “I don’t know, he scared even Anton and he's super attractive. Is he just a mere bully?”
529Please respect copyright.PENANAkhoE7MHZDq
529Please respect copyright.PENANAFXFzBMeJ16
Anthony: “I’m sure you’ll think of something. I rather us get stronger and deal with the King instead of using the bullies against each other.”
529Please respect copyright.PENANA9wgSUIof40
529Please respect copyright.PENANAjsHI39T0v4
Anthony: “It’s unnecessary now that we’ll have magic.”
529Please respect copyright.PENANA4Pm0yysieq
529Please respect copyright.PENANAnDwLVgVnq4
Nao: “I guess, I’ll trust your judgment.”
529Please respect copyright.PENANAcxZDiMwUZf
529Please respect copyright.PENANAsHShoSIcFi
Anthony: “Then we have a plan for tomorrow. You make us magic items and find time to flirt with Alyson.”

Anthony: “Mind reading might come in handy.”
529Please respect copyright.PENANAdGNJBfEMkH
529Please respect copyright.PENANAXeJZonuM8b
I spend 10 points on charisma and buy mind reading. I go into the magic book and swap out scan for mind reading.
529Please respect copyright.PENANAMnUAdOeY8Y
529Please respect copyright.PENANAKrJ2a6wR5p
Nao: “Still 8 left, I’ll spend the rest on my other stats. Just in case of…problems.”
529Please respect copyright.PENANAm9PvcM8jLT
529Please respect copyright.PENANAhYG6CXauUC

Darkness…

Pitch black, an all-consuming nothingness.
529Please respect copyright.PENANAuve1nEnw49
529Please respect copyright.PENANAuXtV3B5M3t
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.
529Please respect copyright.PENANAs9HfICA0Mw
529Please respect copyright.PENANAHbCTNxeA7B
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.

My mind shatters at the sight of its full vestige. The writhing mass of the unknown seizes the self. It consumes what’s left of my sanity and who I am. _______ is coming.
