Nao: “Slow down, I’ll explain how this happened.”
314Please respect copyright.PENANAKnN6qbfLFP
314Please respect copyright.PENANAsY8sD8blsL
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.
314Please respect copyright.PENANALtHs4RizA5
314Please respect copyright.PENANA6t6D2RXmYp
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...”
314Please respect copyright.PENANAixxzFVWDqc
314Please respect copyright.PENANAxiGXvUYYov
Anthony: “Anyway, I understand why you hid it until you got stronger.”

Nao: “So that’s your plan?”
314Please respect copyright.PENANAoVaBkZy5M7
314Please respect copyright.PENANASlH54ZoZ3L

314Please respect copyright.PENANA7MiLx811qZ
314Please respect copyright.PENANAtBr1JoqWbD

314Please respect copyright.PENANAM700ykOrJ1
314Please respect copyright.PENANAF5fl5RnqBm
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?”
314Please respect copyright.PENANAwHaGqy4HCv
314Please respect copyright.PENANAmqbzyMXe1U

314Please respect copyright.PENANAClcoQXR0FJ
314Please respect copyright.PENANAQCmpHQpuM1
Nao: “I don’t know, he scared even Anton and he's super attractive. Is he just a mere bully?”
314Please respect copyright.PENANA0MvpP9xIKC
314Please respect copyright.PENANAmGxD5fzyta
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.”

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.

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.
