&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x3C;a href=&#x22;https://youtu.be/lMo2qOqdGbo?list=PLEa0apjBYCFGCI4sieBFMDaAEORKolOXd&#x22; rel=&#x22;noopener noreferrer&#x22; target=&#x22;_blank&#x22;&#x3E;Video Link &#x3C;/a&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;The situation deteriorated rapidly.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Years of highborn life gave me perfect control of my reactions. Nonetheless, I internally winced when the commoner girl confirmed what her clothing already told us. She was the daughter of a guard and seamstress, the lowest of the Lower City.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;The High Bishop&#x2019;s pretense dropped like overripen fruit. He ordered his grey priests to seize the girl.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;But then came the first surprise. The father &#x3C;em&#x3E;fought back&#x3C;/em&#x3E;. As the mother hugged their daughter close, the father grappled with the three grey priests, knocking them unconscious in quick succession. His heroics, however, would yield no reward.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;Admirable as his actions were, he defied an order from the clergy and, more importantly, &#x3C;em&#x3E;her &#x3C;/em&#x3E;brother. While we were no longer considered nobles, such action against us would only result in execution. The High Bishop arrogantly informed the family of their fate as more grey priests gathered due to the commotion. The father may be a good fighter, but even he could not overturn the disadvantage in numbers.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;And then came the second surprise.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;A wave of mana surged through the room. Its strength and purity were on the level of an archnoble&#x2019;s, powerful enough for me to notice. Accompanying it was a voice, woven with venom and mana.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Enough!&#x201D; The little blue-haired girl drew the attention of everyone in the room. Her irises glowed with all the Divine Colors. And though the others most likely couldn&#x2019;t sense it, a thick mantle of mana swirled around her. &#x201C;Don&#x2019;t you &#x3C;em&#x3E;dare&#x3C;/em&#x3E; lay a hand on my mother and father.&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;A choked gasp escaped the High Bishop. Only then did I realize that his face flushed, slowly fading into blue. I stood up in shock. The commoner girl was Crushing him.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;You invited us here to have a discussion. Is this what you call a discussion?&#x201D; She stalked closer to the High Bishop.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Some-someone! Help!&#x201D; That was all the High Bishop could manage.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;As much as I enjoyed watching the fool of a High Bishop suffer, his death would lead to bigger problems down the line. I called out to the girl. &#x201C;Myne! Your mana&#x2019;s leaking out! Control your emotions!&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;I drew her attention, giving the fat fool some respite. But as she met my eyes, the full weight of her Crushing came down on me. I was unprepared. I underestimated her. If not for the table, her Crushing would have brought me to my knees.&#x3C;em&#x3E; What did this girl experience for her mana to become this powerful? &#x3C;/em&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;How?&#x201D; she asked.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Like&#x2026; I&#x2019;m sure&#x2026; you always do.&#x201D; I forced out, struggling to counteract her torrent of mana.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;How am I supposed to quell my rage toward a man who wants to execute my father?&#x201D; Her question silenced me with its simple logic. And in hearing no answer, Myne turned back to the High Bishop.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;St-stay away!&#x201D; The bishop tried to crawl away only to fall under her Crushing once more. His face turned red, then blue, then a dark shade of purple. He began frothing at the lips as his eyes rolled to the back of his head. With a weighty &#x3C;em&#x3E;thud&#x3C;/em&#x3E;, he collapsed to the floor.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x201C;Hold it! If you continue, you&#x2019;ll Crush his heart!&#x201D; His death would draw &#x3C;em&#x3E;her &#x3C;/em&#x3E;attention, and there&#x2019;d be no good ending for anyone, especially Myne.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;But her icy voice offered the High Bishop no reprieve. &#x201C;He was ready to kill a person,&#x201D; she reasoned. &#x201C;I&#x2019;m sure he was ready to risk his own life as well.&#x201D;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;I was the only one who could see her lips curl into a vicious sneer as she stretched her hands out to the bishop&#x2019;s writhing body, as if to carry him up the towering staircase herself.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;

&lt;p&gt;Hello.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I'm LaconicKibitz, author and editor for TEK Studios. We've worked on some of the most popular stories on VoyceMe such as God Game, DevilUp, and Thrash. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Every Monday at 6:00 PM EST on the VoyceMe Discord, I host an adaptation workshop. I give out a scene the week prior, have people attempt to adapt it in that seven days, and then have a Harkness-style discussion on what people have written. These are the examples I have written. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If this interests you, feel free to join us!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And if you require any editing or proofreading work, please come find us at TEK Studios!&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
