Shock and bewilderment all around. I knew this would-

Nao: “Slow down, I’ll explain how this happened.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAtySfIEFDPt
261Please respect copyright.PENANAZhRgXbPlV1
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAAlmVIvt8bU
261Please respect copyright.PENANADfK0WhtNsH
After I finished explaining there was a period of silence and contemplation. I'm starting to get nervous again, say something.

261Please respect copyright.PENANAGxsL2dM1gh
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...”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAuMJKDk6ge3
261Please respect copyright.PENANAbNjUJw3CaC
Anthony: “Anyway, I understand why you hid it until you got stronger.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAk9ZQus0Zjy

Tallow: “But it’s a bit disappointing, the loser hero we thought beat the bullies against all odds used OP magic.”

No, No, No! This is not what I….Arc!

261Please respect copyright.PENANAXFBs9bfwDC
261Please respect copyright.PENANAdlJhLEtF52
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.”

Everyone: “Awesome!”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAQlp8cbtA33

261Please respect copyright.PENANAlnmbLVXK74
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.”

Nao: “So that’s your plan?”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAYYwLndQ7GO
261Please respect copyright.PENANArtRHd4LeOX
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?”
261Please respect copyright.PENANA2JsrvBpDiR
261Please respect copyright.PENANAM7lil2c4Os

261Please respect copyright.PENANAO2WDNVYPgI
261Please respect copyright.PENANAMl1dZuOSQa
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?”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAfCevba5Yh5
261Please respect copyright.PENANAdPjao1MDcS
Anthony: “I’m sure Nao, the great mage, can defend himself against a mere bully and surpass his ability to court the queen.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAk1G48BMDLW
261Please respect copyright.PENANAxooavf7e66
Nao: “I don’t know, he scared even Anton and he's super attractive. Is he just a mere bully?”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAI7RMi1gVXi
261Please respect copyright.PENANAXTWdRzfQUK
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.”

Anthony: “Mind reading might come in handy.”
261Please respect copyright.PENANAepb0jqqKTP
261Please respect copyright.PENANAAXjt1Ll4sm
I spend 10 points on charisma and buy mind reading. I go into the magic book and swap out scan for mind reading.

Pitch black, an all-consuming nothingness.

261Please respect copyright.PENANANurVs77d9R
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.
261Please respect copyright.PENANAeCb0bDK5eO

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.
