Raskreia: “You don’t say? Makes me wish that I stayed.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAjz75sHGJcV
522Please respect copyright.PENANARVi5FBgK7t
For the last ten minutes, the courtyard tried to go back to some normalcy. As for Raskreia, she was sitting with Zander, Kirche, Tabitha, and surprisingly Jake.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAA2L4arDdAw
522Please respect copyright.PENANAju6vQd28UC
He immediately jumped off his tree when he saw Raskreia appear. But before she can help him, she needed to know what the heck happened. Zander took up the task of explaining things to her.
522Please respect copyright.PENANA25eaHC0hbl
522Please respect copyright.PENANAl5mxFVn4Tq
Zander: “I have a feeling things would have escalated even further if you were there.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANALGYNf21BWu
522Please respect copyright.PENANA0Y6wcDGeJc
Raskreia: “Ha, you’re probably right.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAzmSWVZxYAW
522Please respect copyright.PENANAFOPrmqQzAP
Jake: “Alright! You’re done with the recap and learning who those 2 are. Can you help me get back home now?”
522Please respect copyright.PENANArqd7kamS83
522Please respect copyright.PENANAzXRisZlUwq
Raskreia: “Sure kid. What’s you’re world like?”
522Please respect copyright.PENANA2JTVG7d1Pp
522Please respect copyright.PENANAWiH6LbnN6K
So Jake did. Not everything, but enough for Raskreia to get a good sense of earth. He refused to answer any of the questions Kirche may have had. He just wanted to get this done as quickly as possible. Raskreia did enjoy Kirche and Tabitha’s shocked expressions though.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAiMt7KquuSn
522Please respect copyright.PENANA5LvRcaAxAC
Raskreia: “Well, I didn’t expect that. Considering your powers, I was sure your world would have been some, no offensive, hellscape.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAtTbDo2RF0c
522Please respect copyright.PENANAH6m96cMg2S
Jake: “I’m not the norm and I didn’t…ask for these abilities.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANALtkAA6GCMV
522Please respect copyright.PENANAAk7L06I8vk
Raskreia: “…Understood. Well, your world does sound interesting. I can probably find it by asking around and using gate to move the possible candidates. But the time frame is still the same. You’re okay with that right?”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAFPA11kCIjN
522Please respect copyright.PENANAMYMKU7aSNR
Jake: “…Yes.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANADAPAImyNRF
522Please respect copyright.PENANAjGd5kRh3PH
He says that he is boiling inside. If it wasn’t for Zander, he might rampaged to let off some steam. Jake ponders what he should do in the meantime.
522Please respect copyright.PENANA7zDJUNfz2S
522Please respect copyright.PENANAau0qoeIzr7
Blackwatch was still alive. The virus was still alive. But Aunt Dana was also still alive. She’s smart so she could hack any system and expose Blackwatch and Gentek for their little dirty deeds.
522Please respect copyright.PENANASj1iyvm6UF
522Please respect copyright.PENANAFt9KU1bUy5
Jake: ‘On the other hand, she could be found and killed…’
522Please respect copyright.PENANACR6nqLpaA1
522Please respect copyright.PENANAdV65Y3qMMV
Jake: “Damn it…”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAFRIIrzdPxI
522Please respect copyright.PENANA7IqeO5Hv0J
He whispered his frustrations as the situation further set in. Jake wanted to kill those bastards for the people of New York. For the things they did. But most of all…for his parents. Yet he’s stuck here until this woman finds his world.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAWsVHr60FjL
522Please respect copyright.PENANAit0gCzGNH1
A strange sensation snapped Jake out of his mind. A warm and gentle feeling at his sides.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAlyYQQiAlNC
522Please respect copyright.PENANAC5Fc4hHLZ7
Raskeria: “Awwww.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANA01Oj7b27pf
522Please respect copyright.PENANAzgZ4Avo81M
Jake looks down to see Sylphid…nuzzling him. Sylphid began purring, in an attempt to soothe Jake.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAH9WnMsIP6D
522Please respect copyright.PENANAAqgTXrXxKJ
Jake: “What…is this thing doing?”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAIRGA1SWvQg
522Please respect copyright.PENANAmb97C7dHhe
Raskeria: “I think she likes you.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAFC8vU0An4Y
522Please respect copyright.PENANAnAUQYMD232
Jake: “Make it stop or I’ll make it stop.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAaaH2Ao4zT6
522Please respect copyright.PENANAq5pqL3DKAo
Zander: “Jake, Sylphid is not trying to attack you so there’s no need for that.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAoSjDWajwhZ
522Please respect copyright.PENANAHFMmkmSJCQ
Jake: “I don’t care.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAQcrgCgWwMM
522Please respect copyright.PENANAQujti0Cej2
Jake got out of his chair and moved away from Sylphid. Sylphid didn’t follow but did look at Jake with…sympathy.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAP3kw7UzxXF
522Please respect copyright.PENANApFNFqvso50
Jake: ‘Monsters don’t comfort and they definitely don’t need sympathy.’
522Please respect copyright.PENANA4cNT7VLAwt
522Please respect copyright.PENANArp0nDoXmwl
Jake: “Keep that dragon away from me. When you get a lead on my world, contact me so I can go with you. Even if it’s a false lead, it might have something for me to kill.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAp9whomkyYb
522Please respect copyright.PENANA5mOd1oO0gP
Jake gave a dangerous glare at Slyphid before going back into the forest.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAAJ1xolJm1i
522Please respect copyright.PENANANNVhhPfQv8
Raskeria: “Tabitha, you’re dragon is cute but she might also be suicidal if she wants to cuddle up with Jake.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANA5zZniMipvD
522Please respect copyright.PENANAASlaRsIA4v
Tabitha said nothing but took the statement into consideration. Slyphid interest in Jake is definitely strange.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAeAyjq0iHSe
522Please respect copyright.PENANAsq6UIiBSg2
Raskeria: “Well, before I go on that realm hunt I better get used to this place. Maybe meet up with the rest of the group. I’m really interested in meeting this Tech kid.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANABlmci0Ndzu
522Please respect copyright.PENANAR9FbFk4Vd8
Raskeria left the group and started exploring the academy. As for Zander, he still has to deal with Kirche.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAdVE8fw94UV
522Please respect copyright.PENANA71qseozFaJ
Kirche: “Now, where were we?”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAhN9S07xHIK
522Please respect copyright.PENANAOeisfYxebR
She says while pressing her best assets against Zander.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAPRkH37SeJH
522Please respect copyright.PENANAqry6C9kVQg
Zander sighs before answering her.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAb24Rh2xGzo
522Please respect copyright.PENANAWCBIsVNLHF
Zander: “Miss Zerbst, I’d appreciate my arm back.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAp4dRzLmG9L
522Please respect copyright.PENANAtdKcfMiZGa
Kirche blinked when Zander removed his hand from between her great valleys. But Kirche won’t give up that easily. She curled her hair with her fingers, angling her body in a way that showed off her chest.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAKUfu9eC8KR
522Please respect copyright.PENANABONDPAKYvg
Kirche: “Of course. My mistake. They say my family is the passionate kind. Burning hot, like the fires of the sun. Forgive me for my moments of…uncontrollable need. I will do my best to restrain myself around you. Until of course, you say otherwise.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAgbCR9zK5A7
522Please respect copyright.PENANAnXUZE7Nuap
Zander: “Forgiven. Now if you’ll excuse me, I probably should check in with my own realm. I’m Raskeria and the others can handle Jake if he acts up.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAv2POldDYpc
522Please respect copyright.PENANARDjRAqv5hX
Kirche: “So you have gate spell just that woman? When will you be back?”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAwZfEqY5ZVo
522Please respect copyright.PENANAPxUsRRYUif
Zander: “I’ll be back by tomorrow. I don’t want to miss the big fight.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANALdC7iUcnvD
522Please respect copyright.PENANAEUHHFyVbnL
Zander gestured with his hand, warping space around his fingers. Kirche and even Tabitha were awe-struck by the portal. Non-euclidean shapes appeared within the warped space where light failed to penetrate.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAqlZs2KiHki
522Please respect copyright.PENANAmOsAaaBd8y
Zander stepped through the warp, disappearing completely into murky shadows. They seemed to grow within themselves like monsters trapped beyond a mirror.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAtr3lHcB6Ew
522Please respect copyright.PENANANBn4CQ2xrC
Kirche: “Haaa, Tabitha I think I’m in love.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAJIm2rgLUHr
522Please respect copyright.PENANAPrZbADkh3H
Tech: “So you’re the one who accepted the familiar thing?”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAZuTsslWDsi
522Please respect copyright.PENANAIaagQFBjdQ
Tech just finished his repairs and fixed the glitches he experienced outside. Right now, he and the maid trio are in the nurse’s office. Tech is on the bed while the 3 girls are sitting around him. Only Siesta seemed shocked by the nature of his repairs.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAieaaSKF7zS
522Please respect copyright.PENANARxYHxxzLTt
Flamma: “I have my reasons.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANANwzGGiCkHQ

522Please respect copyright.PENANA8YhLptLXkG
522Please respect copyright.PENANAZoRYmPKk9s
Tech: “If I ever was stupid enough to accept that, I’d want someone to slap me out of it.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANApadFTPwCaf
522Please respect copyright.PENANAXxQhuHSNzd
Flamma: “It’s not that bad. It’s not like I let Louise command like a dog. I’m not a masochistic.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAlpqs3kME9V
522Please respect copyright.PENANAitFTvf4C9P
While they debate over the ethics of the familiar system, Siesta is filled with worrying thoughts. She’s overjoyed that she made friends who are willing to fight for her.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAIzQ1qnfahG
522Please respect copyright.PENANAlkRgCwir3Q
But she is also terrified for them. If they died for her…
522Please respect copyright.PENANAbjVfnl97ns
522Please respect copyright.PENANAqBsqh9nrp5
Siesta: “You shouldn’t have done that.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAgTUSXLrkF0
522Please respect copyright.PENANAwE4UnqUbD6
She says softly but it still got the three to pay attention.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAeatqBDuTQ5
522Please respect copyright.PENANAI6NorVxVSj
Dove: “Do what?”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAriRGEVGnyD
522Please respect copyright.PENANAi7bOMq39BS
Siesta: “Accepted Guiche’s challenge! It’s too dangerous!”
522Please respect copyright.PENANA9VtWvIj8sI
522Please respect copyright.PENANAss6tpJPbIR
Tech: “Ha, dangerous for him maybe.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAHrxftLaZVx

Siesta: “B-But, he has magic! Us commoners do not have their powers!”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAJnDzzla7KD
522Please respect copyright.PENANAH66diKCIWg

522Please respect copyright.PENANAek50FTUQCl
522Please respect copyright.PENANACE6VNGRCc0

522Please respect copyright.PENANAnG254tBZUk
522Please respect copyright.PENANAcuPyIt77Z9
Dove: “Don’t worry Siesta, we can handle anything that child throws at us.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAqUCDzpAmvR
522Please respect copyright.PENANA6LqmEbFnoB
Siesta: “But…”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAn3T12OoGpY
522Please respect copyright.PENANASjE86R4OFb
Flamma put her hand on Siesta’s shoulder and smiled softly.
522Please respect copyright.PENANA80iv0iiDBj
522Please respect copyright.PENANA4AddQu2xix
Flamma: “Trust us Siesta. You’ll be pleasantly surprised if you do.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAzjVCvYQ67b
522Please respect copyright.PENANAj8BCKtv70W
Siesta looked at her friends and could almost cry. They had no fear, only confidence that the fight could only end in one way. Victory.
522Please respect copyright.PENANA7mnMOmLzpo
522Please respect copyright.PENANAbph84dnS3d
Siesta: “Okay, I trust you.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANArtuU5HoD3y
522Please respect copyright.PENANA4PlCbNx77H
What else could she say in front of that?
522Please respect copyright.PENANAFD51bLLcea
522Please respect copyright.PENANABTwbFpprO0
Flamma: “Great. Now, I better check on Louise. I bet she’s going crazy by now. I also now have another great story to tell her.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAg4a0Ybgu91
522Please respect copyright.PENANAJIvtaWE0r9

522Please respect copyright.PENANAYvqfqA3qWL
522Please respect copyright.PENANA3VV9X0ocEW
Dove: ‘Maybe then I can reveal my true nature to him and use magic to heal his body. If he’ll even let me.’
522Please respect copyright.PENANAsiyjflBVYu
522Please respect copyright.PENANAOBtwl0nNaJ
Tech: “Probably somewhere with enough room. Probably one of the courtyards.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAkCKknPswHv
522Please respect copyright.PENANAERUj8aWWGj
Siesta: “Then may I suggest Vestail Courtyard. That section of the outside area should be big enough and close to where you’ll…fight Lord Guiche.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAHJ1CXxemu1
522Please respect copyright.PENANA85tuRmtEmR
Tech: “Perfect. But please don’t call Guiche lord. Almost made me gag.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAybLZw4WQ9n
522Please respect copyright.PENANAE9OJstyutU
Siesta: “But-”
522Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ht0ahnyBQ

522Please respect copyright.PENANAaREEvoiUTH

Siesta: “…Alright. Thank you, for everything.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAuT1hsKZBTK

Dove: “Think nothing of it, what else are friends for.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAYrA6sVVzt2
522Please respect copyright.PENANA47beBF7ngz
With that, Dove and Siesta left Tech for his final repairs.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAC685Nrlu1X
522Please respect copyright.PENANAqOqZ7XjwYO
Louise would have gone crazy from the boredom and maybe anger at her double. But her thoughts were on what her familiar told her.
522Please respect copyright.PENANA7xgQQnHVHQ
522Please respect copyright.PENANAYBpMQsEePC
Louise: ‘Otherworlds. Metal monsters. Wandless magic. It’s all so much to take in. I wouldn’t have even believed it if I wasn’t there for some of it. And I have a feeling it’s only getting to get more crazy.’
522Please respect copyright.PENANAtjFlbvuDhM
522Please respect copyright.PENANARxZQsNJsvR
Louise laid down after eating her food delivered by her familiar and a maid. But she still barely had the energy to move.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAaAFbgSXWNt
522Please respect copyright.PENANAtemrrzW8sf
Louise: “Argh! When I get my hands on that faker, I’ll tear her apart! I hate being stuck like this!”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAYQnDomZSoV
522Please respect copyright.PENANAN3wh3HtUJ5
“Do you need sssome asssissstance massster?”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAzJ1oDELux0
522Please respect copyright.PENANAbL9bABbb7T
Louise: “Who’s there!? Familiar?”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAzvgDZRt14S
522Please respect copyright.PENANAqkZxN2pb96
“Ooooone of theeem.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAIT8xo19Lvm
522Please respect copyright.PENANAZOLBxcVGT9
A white snake slithered out of the darkness of the room and raised it’s head so Louise can see it.
522Please respect copyright.PENANALydCRghruT
522Please respect copyright.PENANAkXi0pQ38nw
Louise: “Are you…like that dragon? How can you talk?”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAj0yUxD0XeO
522Please respect copyright.PENANAGW6TBwihuz
“My former masssster taught me to ssspeak.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAPPldvwwQmN
522Please respect copyright.PENANAZDgxyQGXv7
Louise: “You were someone’s familiar before?”
522Please respect copyright.PENANARARbb3M2yd
522Please respect copyright.PENANAYnO3BUvStf
“Oh yesss. I sssserved a mossst powerful wizard.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAPrRRqdyRrU
522Please respect copyright.PENANAhTBPIDLHo4
Louise: “Great, so I stole a familiar from a noble…”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAWEnt6ttuSZ
522Please respect copyright.PENANAq0HsUY2rB3
Louise: ‘I should be glad that I have Flamma as familiar but I’m not. She’s just a commoner. This snake could have worked but he’s already taken…’
522Please respect copyright.PENANAEUoVkwTKHM
522Please respect copyright.PENANAmpEEi2sLE2
“Dooont’ worrrry, my masssster died a long time ago.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAKUOLKSruMZ
522Please respect copyright.PENANAx0bVlK5ht9
That put some hope in Louise’s eyes. Maybe she can make this snake her familiar. Much better than that commoner.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAxjT2x7gLU5
522Please respect copyright.PENANAzRtbsJ7Zlt
Louise: “Then…will be my familiar?”
522Please respect copyright.PENANACphK0KNNYh
522Please respect copyright.PENANAVxAc7yaOYx
For a while, there was nothing but silence. Louise was about to decide between forcing the matter or crying. Instead, the snake asked a question.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAKHNe4axZXL
522Please respect copyright.PENANApKxXdd3FAB
“Do you haaaave the streength?”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAn2rs9ouTag
522Please respect copyright.PENANAOiVcf5JgwA
Louise: “Always! Just bring me my wand and come to me and I can do it.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAWPuuVe8htP

Louise: “I…don’t know for sure. But since I summoned you all, it should work.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAuLU4I98KSl
522Please respect copyright.PENANA6valflQcwl
What seemed like a smirk flashed on the snake’s face.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAQzpJF8ta1U
522Please respect copyright.PENANAZvTxOFAEO7
“Theeen yeees, I’ll beee your faaamiliar.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAMc8IhR5vPj

Louise: “Great! Then bring me what I need familiar!”

Aeoron: “My naaame is Aeron, my soooon to be master.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAwG5tyewAZk
522Please respect copyright.PENANA7Wc47o0rRH
The snake did as he was asked. Louise used some of her remaining strength to sit up and take her wand from the snake’s mouth. The snake then laid on her bed, awaiting Louise’s next action.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAKouo7lpP6z
522Please respect copyright.PENANAI7Sq5in9yz
Louise: “Be grateful, you’re the second of my familiars. I will conquer the rest and then…”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAPVQO9xwH7g
522Please respect copyright.PENANA4k02S7dSCO
Louise: ‘I’ll be the greatest mage in the world. No longer will I be Louise the Zero. Not when I have seven familiars at my beck and call. Two of which are dragons.’
522Please respect copyright.PENANAuJH5trh0Id
522Please respect copyright.PENANA8IcOGwnxM7
Louise smiled and placed her wand on the snake’s forehead before chanting.
522Please respect copyright.PENANASUyPfjlwqk
522Please respect copyright.PENANAMJB7QubKKZ
Louise: “My name is Louise Francoise le Blanc de la Valliere, Pentagon of the Five Elemental Powers. Bless this humble being, and make her my familiar.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAY8Aybxt2Fa
522Please respect copyright.PENANAzHzjza3Pu3
After chanting, she removed her wand from his forehead and stretched forward to kiss him.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAVjYxN2pAGu
522Please respect copyright.PENANA4x7yH8qG4x
After a few moments, a new and different brand appears on the snake.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAGKF01bQcnb
522Please respect copyright.PENANAkZE4oxRqks
Louise: “Now you’re my familiar. I’m the only one in the world with two. Soon, I’ll be the only one with seven.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAMMJ0aBLkZS
522Please respect copyright.PENANAXFIHQ3SwEg
Louise expected to fall right to sleep after performing another ritual, but instead, she feels fine. Better than fine actually. Almost normal.
522Please respect copyright.PENANA9KGfjTi2hA
522Please respect copyright.PENANAlgBbJDCHzu
Louise: “I thought I would be tired after that.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAeySgRx5fH3
522Please respect copyright.PENANAgUSxMbbwzn
Aeron: “I took the liberty to heal you of your affliction using a spell.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAPKvpX3UfWm
522Please respect copyright.PENANAjHIYVoCwn7
Louise: “Really? Wait, what do you even know about magic, you're just a familiar."
522Please respect copyright.PENANALYLvJAzkbL
522Please respect copyright.PENANAiFyqbeCQ2o
Aeron: "I know a LOT about magic, I have asssisssted my former massster and learned the arcane artsss over the yearsss, if you wisssh…I could teach you."
522Please respect copyright.PENANA2Be2TqHzuT
522Please respect copyright.PENANA8yMdhPD8k3
Louise was stunned, the possibility that an animal could learn magic was preposterous. Magic was Brimir’s gift to humans, not animals. That dragon was from another world so she didn’t count but this snake…
522Please respect copyright.PENANAtNLTVRRzR7
522Please respect copyright.PENANA54FAaQZekp
Louise: "HOW DARE YOU!"
522Please respect copyright.PENANAwR7d6JIhNE

Aeron: "Have I sssaid sssomething wrong?"
522Please respect copyright.PENANATyvTlKclgy

522Please respect copyright.PENANAyoKBsmeTYn

Aeron: “…Baleful Polymorph."
522Please respect copyright.PENANAjTxK5zpjIg
522Please respect copyright.PENANA66mGQjOMls
A flash of light illuminated the room as the spell did its job. Louise blinked, her familiar spoke something, and then the world went white.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAtIMvQjWa8Z
522Please respect copyright.PENANADRiwn6bLsH
Aeron: "Ah, you're still awake, perfect"
522Please respect copyright.PENANAGYcHSjWRw5
522Please respect copyright.PENANAHzK396PlkG
She didn't hear the voice as much as she felt it in her mind. The girl looked at her surroundings...and spotted Aeron, but he was different. The snake was bigger than she remembered, in fact, it was bigger than she was.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAi6FQtpBxu2
522Please respect copyright.PENANAlbqRpfywC7
Louise: "W-What happened?"

522Please respect copyright.PENANArn7m8yuprN
Is what she wanted to say but instead only made a Ribbit-Ribbit sound. Looking over the room it seemed larger, that is until she spotted her reflection in the big mirror.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAI8phPY39Ja
522Please respect copyright.PENANAFnETJuF1cd
Where she was supposed to be, was now a toad standing beside Aeron. She would have screamed but only more strange noises emerged.
522Please respect copyright.PENANA0yVKQBdiTm
522Please respect copyright.PENANAPEskoziG8f
Louise: ‘W-What h-happened to me? Is this a dream? Y-Yes, a nightmare, it has to be a nightmare, I will wake up and all will be fine. Flamma will be next to my bed like this morning. She’ll probably have a crazy new story for me to listen to while I eat.’
522Please respect copyright.PENANA5VMO9kbJZH
522Please respect copyright.PENANALEiUkHO2O5
Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard Aeron laugh.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAUmGRPypTno
522Please respect copyright.PENANAFml1C17Htb
Aeron: "Sss-sss-sss-sss, thisss isss no dream little one, thisss isss asss real asss it getsss. Asss to what happened, I turned you into a toad, and a toad you ssshall remain."
522Please respect copyright.PENANAhgeL02s17h
522Please respect copyright.PENANA2vTgykTG8o
Louise: ‘Why?!’
522Please respect copyright.PENANAFs4rgsl49h
522Please respect copyright.PENANAnAAQMDgDbY
She tries to ask with her mouth but only animals escape it.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAkqEshiCOBf
522Please respect copyright.PENANAVdfhJUha4K
Aeron: "Don't try to talk, you can't ssspeak in your form. Itsss enough to think what you want to asssk. I’ll read it from your mind that way. Asss to why, I wasss hoping to teach you real magic, not the parlor tricksss your peers perform. Sssadly it ssseamsss I misssjudged you and ssso I'm now finishing lossse endesss.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAqYQpqcErbo
522Please respect copyright.PENANAhGpovSeAhv
Louise: ‘I will learn! I will learn! Please just turn me back!’
522Please respect copyright.PENANA5nShNGff1Z
522Please respect copyright.PENANArpg8WK5SdJ
Aeron: "I don't think you can, magic demandsss an open mind and a lot of concentration. You on the other hand are impulsssive and narrow-minded. I'm an excellent teacher, but even I have my doubtsss that my knowledge would pierce all of the falssse information that you were indoctrinated with. No, you will remain like this until you die."
522Please respect copyright.PENANAy0BzpNMxXE
522Please respect copyright.PENANAfDTdc10OVx
Louise: ‘I command you to turn me back familiar!’
522Please respect copyright.PENANA4wDT5wWfn7
522Please respect copyright.PENANAFDsHsXgVyf
Aeron: "You command me? The lassst entity who wanted to command me wasss a Merilith, a demonic general. You ssshould have ssseen the demons ssshock when I captured her, even now asss we ssspeak ssshe isss imprisssoned in my pocket realm, sssubjected to torture that would make Asssmodeusss proud. Itsss not easssy to break a demonsss ssspirit, but I will find a way, I have time. Ssso tell me massster, why ssshould I lisssten to you?"
522Please respect copyright.PENANAnAdNwSXkvV
522Please respect copyright.PENANA5MdSZJzWIh
Louise: ‘Because...you're my familiar?’
522Please respect copyright.PENANAFeOFUAksAc
522Please respect copyright.PENANACwZRRAYNZm
Aeron: "Goodbye little one"
522Please respect copyright.PENANAY86abl31Za
522Please respect copyright.PENANAl3kHAYZFeG
Aeron changed his shape back into his human form and started to meld into the shadow of the room.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAvcG8ZsQLFU
522Please respect copyright.PENANASnOKhcnTDx
Seeing that Louise began to panic. She had to convince him to turn her back, but how? She could not command him to do it, what else is there?
522Please respect copyright.PENANAyjY1TIVlNu
522Please respect copyright.PENANAWt9tDtWhsK
Louise: ‘Wait! You are presuming that I would not learn because of my prejudices, is that not the same for you? You told me basically that I should not judge blindly, so why not give me a chance to prove that I can learn?’
522Please respect copyright.PENANAwyI20oZbtK
522Please respect copyright.PENANAr9oNrxxjXH
Nothing, no reply came to her desperate plea. She collapsed on the bed, too tired to do anything. Her life is really finished. As cold reality starts to set in, Louise’s mind drifts to Flamma, her first familiar.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAU09S3iG6XN
522Please respect copyright.PENANAJvTqrzrDAb
She doesn’t know why Flamma came to her mind. She didn’t know her that long. But…her presence was comforting. She accepted her when all other familiars rejected her. She brought her food when she was weak and even stayed by her side until her duties as a maid called for her.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAxCbLqJs5vA
522Please respect copyright.PENANAAoseYqc09U
But now? Even she wouldn’t want to be a familiar to a frog. Flamma won’t grace her with that sweet smile she gave while she told her story anymore.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAspzYazcYE0
522Please respect copyright.PENANAkLxn2uspYh
Before despair fully broke her, she heard laughter coming from the darkness that surrounded her.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAZyDo1bqKXb
522Please respect copyright.PENANA4MuElEqRlU
Aeron: “Hahahaha, how amusing. Indeed you are learning. Threats and begging for mercy never pay off. The best option is to bring your foe to see things your way. Though we will have to work on your persuasion skills, they are somewhat lacking."
522Please respect copyright.PENANAmUuEJnvExb
522Please respect copyright.PENANAN60y6jQhkS
Aeron emerged from the shadows and snapped his fingers.Louise found herself back on the bed, looking at her hands.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAUMYjNXBlqm
522Please respect copyright.PENANAD6THML8yXZ
Louise: ‘I’m…back.’
522Please respect copyright.PENANAIGakAU4tgF
522Please respect copyright.PENANAtfGqbEjSBT
She smiled and let her tears flow freely. It was certainly a one-of-a-kind experience, one that she didn't want to repeat as long as she lived…
522Please respect copyright.PENANAlg3qfA8e2w
522Please respect copyright.PENANAfGkAEifUyq
After she got a hold of herself, she spotted Aeron, not as a snake but as a human.
522Please respect copyright.PENANA2b3IFbveJo
522Please respect copyright.PENANA2KlezV0kgb
He was around two meters tall, dressed in black leather armor. His head was hidden behind a hood and his face covered by a mask, making it difficult to see any facial features. He carried on his belt a black...glass?
522Please respect copyright.PENANApiQSatuD6x
522Please respect copyright.PENANAwLPddYAGKP
There was also a long sword and an evil-looking dagger strapped to the belt. On his hands were long black gloves, with metal depicting the bones of the human hand and a lot of rings on his fingers. On his chest was a picture of a silver skull in a purple sun.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAgeUeEW3mkZ
522Please respect copyright.PENANAkKLSqMVriK
Louise: "So, w-why can you use magic? A-Are you a noble?"
522Please respect copyright.PENANASuviC0y9Y5
522Please respect copyright.PENANATdsEZm4A4L
Chuckling Aeron seated himself in one of the chairs in the room.
522Please respect copyright.PENANABiHOuyrtC2
522Please respect copyright.PENANAetqJnwXycc
Aeron: "Now we are getting somewhere. As I have mentioned my name is Aeron and I would appreciate it if you used it instead of familiar. To answer your questions no I'm not a noble and yes I am a mage."
522Please respect copyright.PENANAzGvUeUno4B
522Please respect copyright.PENANA63vo1g1Xg4
Louise: "But how? Nobility comes from magic. Unless…you’re not from this world. Just like the others.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAM2RKdXArw8
522Please respect copyright.PENANAWYfsDrs9ej
Aeron: “Correct, but I’m not from whatever worlds they came from. Truly, impressive dragging us all here. 7 different worlds all connected to this one.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAuGHYn2R2Zg
522Please respect copyright.PENANAoXrFanFHZr
Aeron: “Now, back to teaching you magic. First, let go of the wand. You won’t need it for my magic.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAvObJVCQXvJ
522Please respect copyright.PENANAQqSST8CELx
Louise: “So you’ll be teaching me what that Raskeria girl did.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAjt4URYVMk2
522Please respect copyright.PENANAE5z0VY43Gp
Aeron: “…Something like that.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANANGr9ykWOeO
522Please respect copyright.PENANAf8LmFRFQCG
Louise: “Can I…really do that? I’m not from your world.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAn8EssXDMx4
522Please respect copyright.PENANAQOgo2N7LBX
Aeron: “Trust me. Unless…you want to be a Zero all your life.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAISPJMvJNof
522Please respect copyright.PENANA7pZhjsvGGJ
Louise: “NO!”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAw8zXPBCnnH
522Please respect copyright.PENANArWhGFWExEQ
Aeron: “Then let go of the wand.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAKY4IZcr7Lp
Louise looked at her wand, the wand that had been with her for her whole life. They’ve been through a lot, but it was time to move on. To bigger and better things. She let the wooden stick roll off her palm and onto the floor.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAEuXa3nm8NY
522Please respect copyright.PENANAbGO1RxQFzi
Aeron then proceeded to crush it underfoot, sending its pieces across the floor. That part of her life…is now dead.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAFTaHPFueB3
522Please respect copyright.PENANAYqlMgSoeo3
Aeron: “When I’m done, you’ll be able to do that binding ritual with a finger. Now…”
522Please respect copyright.PENANABf9SYxbSxT
522Please respect copyright.PENANA0QY9v02PeA
Aeron snapped his fingers again and a book appeared levitating in front of him, from it a single piece of paper floated up to where Louise was.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAyIqfpFDxIw
522Please respect copyright.PENANAVMBNCa3FuU
Her eyes were wide open at the display of power made by her familiar, it took a minute before she snapped out of it and took the paper that was floating in front of her.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAe3kEYMxTgP
522Please respect copyright.PENANAd9CLjPPbG9
Louise: "Whats this?"
522Please respect copyright.PENANABMkdZKcOhx
522Please respect copyright.PENANAyhIbhco0mZ
Aeron: "Its a spell of ′Silent Image′, a nice and safe low-level spell for beginners. You will memorize the scroll and then cast it. Simple as that."
522Please respect copyright.PENANAAn6UgY9nQU
522Please respect copyright.PENANAx316UEsBG6
Louise: "...I...can't read these runes."
522Please respect copyright.PENANArbJ5wHFqMy
522Please respect copyright.PENANAxmoeMz8M0C
She was not happy about admitting there was something she was unable to do. But if she wanted to learn Aeron’s magic, then there was no other way around it. It's not like these runes were drastically different from those she knew. True, some were absolutely foreign to her, but mostly it was the unfamiliar way the runes were inscribed in relation to one another that made no sense.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAPk1UROrmwo
522Please respect copyright.PENANAA42MCRqxEl
Aeron smirked behind his mask.
522Please respect copyright.PENANA4Pk2vbnJbo
522Please respect copyright.PENANAk3I3aeDOQh
Aeron: “I will teach you how to read them, but before that would master be so kind as to tell me more about what you know about magic? It would save some time if I don't repeat what you already know."
522Please respect copyright.PENANA65USF8cl6c
522Please respect copyright.PENANAtJVfn94loN
She thought about it for a second before she nodded. Louise sat up straight demurely, lifted a finger, and started explaining, proud as a peacock.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAnqbcETBYP9
522Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ieil0LBXS
Louise: "Listen, magic is divided into the five elements, Earth, Water, Wind, Fire, and the lost element of Void. The number of elements that a mage uses can be increased, and his class changes accordingly. A mage who can use only one element is a dot, ability to have two – makes one a line, being able to use three – triangle and four a square mage. Spells are also applied to the class. The spells from three elements are called 'Triangle spells'. Each time the spell class rises, the consumption of willpower doubles."
522Please respect copyright.PENANAxZuUzzO4E2
522Please respect copyright.PENANAlGwTR6rQsa
After she explained her magic system she puffed out her chest and allowed herself a small smile. After all, the written exams were her strong side.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAr69G8U5j1w
522Please respect copyright.PENANAOAlrHQKIg5
Aeron looked blankly at her before continuing on.
522Please respect copyright.PENANACV4v4HeecR
522Please respect copyright.PENANAaGnQoPyQYO
Aeron: "Okay, how long have you studied magic?"
522Please respect copyright.PENANATz5erFcmnD
522Please respect copyright.PENANAWzudI4wx1q
Louise: "Since I could lift a wand. I am a noble after all"
522Please respect copyright.PENANAmnP5VyS5Yd
522Please respect copyright.PENANAVCjX4YdDjv
Aeron: "Very well, I will show you the spell and you pay attention"
522Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8vfaimtcu
522Please respect copyright.PENANAcOUzhCjUXo
He spoke so she could understand him easily and memorize it.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAuXCFICbcEq
522Please respect copyright.PENANAm5ScNxud6c
Aeron: "Silent Image."
522Please respect copyright.PENANAoW5Hpffs1E
522Please respect copyright.PENANAOhKtYqgBJA
In front of them, an illusion of Professor Colbert appeared, his lips moved but no sound was forthcoming. And with a hand gesture, Aeron willed the image to disappear.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAlu956ShQrQ
522Please respect copyright.PENANAgQRl2An7Fa
Aeron: "Have you memorized the incantation?"
522Please respect copyright.PENANA0qHwW4kmPo
522Please respect copyright.PENANA8WXilQfc2C
Louise nodded.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAUd25hlW3Lx
522Please respect copyright.PENANATtKMHBjyVd
Aeron: "Excellent. Now from what I’ve learned from you and idle talk around this place, you should already know how to use your willpower. All you need now is to imbue your fingers and tongue with magic as you would do with your wand. You will feel a slight tingling in them, if you put too much magic it will start to hurt so be careful."
522Please respect copyright.PENANAOYLPytWCRi
522Please respect copyright.PENANAu4XrD8OVkY
The girl nodded again and closed her eyes. After a few minutes of testing the spell in her thoughts, she took a deep breath.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAVvfHMRSJ9O
522Please respect copyright.PENANA7PDvQ4R6Lx
She opened her eyes and focused her mind on the spell, moving her delicate fingers she spoke.
522Please respect copyright.PENANA7TpEFAYOjF
522Please respect copyright.PENANAaqUjFf6tyb
Louise: "Silent Image!"
522Please respect copyright.PENANAYHE9OVCpYC
522Please respect copyright.PENANAy8srk81can
In front of her, an illusion of Flamma appeared and smiled at Louise. Tears began to run down Louise’s face as she stared at the illusion.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAlhjLrcL99a
522Please respect copyright.PENANAPiiGEr7Fg6
Louise: “I did it…I cast…a spell…”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAT29sk9758b
522Please respect copyright.PENANA35TJLuk9ec
She continued to sob as Aeron rolled his eyes. But that roll instantly turned into a gaze of alertness.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAcHLAk6eCLP
522Please respect copyright.PENANA4pGAqh1SM8
Aeron: ‘Seems like the fun is over for now.’
522Please respect copyright.PENANA7D4L9msLyL
522Please respect copyright.PENANAiH0PTq8o8f
Aeron got up and dispelled the illusion of Flamma.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAnYm0muU9ZT
522Please respect copyright.PENANAzvGsFT67D6
Aeron: “Louise, I need you to keep what we’re learning from the other familiars and even the teachers and students..”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAK4H8tqeYV2
522Please respect copyright.PENANAovtMpZJoDO
Louise wiped away her tears and turned to her true teacher.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAvFUDE3tFGT
522Please respect copyright.PENANAAR59wQuPay
Louise: “But why?”
522Please respect copyright.PENANATLWza1skdz
522Please respect copyright.PENANAjNXpSxUhur
Aeron: “The commoners among your familiars will be jealous. They may even want me to teach them. I want to help only you so that can’t happen. Let’s wait until your training is complete and then surprise them.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANABP20LXcZq0
522Please respect copyright.PENANAyUqOBpWWqS
Louise: “I guess…that makes sense.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAYJgAhmftZD
522Please respect copyright.PENANAFUmC68TvQR
Louise: ‘Shame, I did want to brag to Flamma.’
522Please respect copyright.PENANA0hfBoYdaEN
522Please respect copyright.PENANAVLvwtUMUp2
Louise: “But why not the teachers and students?”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAZJ8M0jpYCx
522Please respect copyright.PENANAa8lUUVVylI
Aeron: “Similar reasons. This magic is beyond them. Wouldn’t want them to, I don’t know, ban me from teaching you.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAfQF5TXLVAm
522Please respect copyright.PENANAMmTah8dnd1
Louise: “I won’t let that happen!”
522Please respect copyright.PENANARkMf0yrXPU
522Please respect copyright.PENANAZEUlF3QxVH
Aeron: “Good. Now, I’ll see you later. When you’re alone once again.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANApsgFFwKisJ
522Please respect copyright.PENANAqdewszEyWt
With that, Aeron faded into the darkness of the room. Just in time for the door to open, revealing Flamma.
522Please respect copyright.PENANA7Qhxa8ufC4
522Please respect copyright.PENANAmmUwKS5h1a
Flamma: “Hey Louise wait until I…are you crying?”
522Please respect copyright.PENANASZXjKJHG5v
522Please respect copyright.PENANAbcUNu3vqD8
Flamma knelt beside Louise and looked at her with worry.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAwh8hFDxNUR
522Please respect copyright.PENANAkIDjYpdWyG
Louise: “No, I just had something in my eye.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAcDNkntsuxb
522Please respect copyright.PENANA5HscG6uOza
Flamma: “Are you sure? Nothing happened while I was gone right?”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAaquO6zO5y1
522Please respect copyright.PENANAgcgN2E62FR
Louise: “No, I’m fine Flamma.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAeHDVb3gUBX
522Please respect copyright.PENANADeTHJsTQMx
Flamma: “Oh, no familiar. What did I do to deserve this treatment?”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAr7DZRdKWcf
522Please respect copyright.PENANAzIiTgEbPQl
Louise: “Hmph, you’re still my familiar. But you also have a name. It’s also much easier to say than familiar.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANA6b9J2kdoYU
522Please respect copyright.PENANAGolGC5at33
Flamma: “Awww, thanks. That’s probably why everyone calls me that instead of my first name. Anyway, I’ve got a new story to tell you.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAvV8vn2BWm8
522Please respect copyright.PENANAiwqJAhzdi9
Louise: “Something else happened?”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAwSssgGAJxz
522Please respect copyright.PENANAtAfx99bvCe
Flamma: “You know it. You summoned some interesting characters.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAqj1PMzO0nj
522Please respect copyright.PENANAr6QhgJYfjv
As Flamma began to retell the events of the day, Louise couldn’t help but softly smile. Her life was really looking up.
522Please respect copyright.PENANALj1Lz6Slve
522Please respect copyright.PENANA6a7Gj2cqJH
It was almost time for bed but that didn’t stop Tech. He was determined to sleep in his lab tonight. The place suggested by Siesta was more than big enough for him to set up a Lab, HVSF(Heavy Vehicle Station Factory), COM Tower, and one landing pad.
522Please respect copyright.PENANA3LKDDxK5ID
522Please respect copyright.PENANAeWVR3mjv59
Tech: ‘And thanks to subspace technology, it can all fit in a small space and leave lots of room. I love science.’
522Please respect copyright.PENANA8hcrcr4skv
522Please respect copyright.PENANAdVYMEeXEf6
He went to work by first getting out a Nanocube to construct the foundation to put his things on. Once the tiny bots were released they began to work the molecular structure of the ground into solid Granite Steel.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAJ89WPYLWZG
522Please respect copyright.PENANAPsp2FrZD4P
Once the ground was stable and flat Tech got out another cube, this one all gray with yellow slanted lines. He walked over to the 50 by 50-foot pad and set it in the center before backing out. It was then the Energy Storage cube started its work.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAi7FZWX7GUA
522Please respect copyright.PENANApNTGq0VAdF
First, an outline of the HVSF's supports began to show before filling in with steel beams. Next, floors were made followed by walls and grava-pads in the back. Then it made one sub-space connection floor to transport any number of vehicles in and out of this room and into another.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAedeHZwn8nO
522Please respect copyright.PENANAY71n2ajjv3
He proceeded to walk inside and type in a command to make another 50 by 50 overhang to his right and placed a red cube with black ripples into a open section in the console and got to work.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAxjnS8SUcZX
522Please respect copyright.PENANADDRCNYd2O9
On its right, a skeletal overhang folded out and stabilized itself before it began to fill in with another skeletal structure being the COM tower. The bottom where it would stand was held by many thin legs, holding cylinders with many tall rods. Some with blinking red lights.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAeVIxhM3Vxx
522Please respect copyright.PENANA2FERAU16R0
He then put in two last cubes. One green with a rectilinear black and yellow warning strip for Landing Pad. One white cube with blue spots for the lab.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAIaNEGHwxzE
522Please respect copyright.PENANA9KPsSPyX1s
And after another 5 minutes, it was complete. HVSF on ground level. Lab on top. Landing Pad on the left overhang and COM Tower on the right overhang.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAwhDPP2I2kj
522Please respect copyright.PENANAbii1aYKhRc
Normally a 50 by 50 spaced lab and vehicle station wouldn't be much. But that problem could be tossed aside as all the rooms are connected to a Sub-space induced area.
522Please respect copyright.PENANANxl1ZfFVE1
522Please respect copyright.PENANAZaZUIWG5di
The inside was 200 feet and had 20 doors leading to 15ft living rooms, 12ft bedrooms, two different shower rooms, and a 10ft kitchen.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAYxudftHdLC
522Please respect copyright.PENANAXM025GEFQS
Then came the lower Sub-Spaced sections to the HVSF. This place had a grand total of 800ft filled with both ground and air vehicles. But that was the first 400ft. The rest was used as both a factory and repair station with crates, spare parts, a game room, and other things.

522Please respect copyright.PENANAeJUrglqLJ0
522Please respect copyright.PENANAo9y4c3KZ1h
Tech: “Were? Oh, let me guess. They blew themselves up to kingdom come.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANA4K5hf0bmwC
522Please respect copyright.PENANAfjrxBMPQMY
Dove: “More like messed with the heart of a god and thus erased their entire race from existence in an instant.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANABtkp9Uhy1l
522Please respect copyright.PENANAbhFSXqxD9l
Tech: “…Okay, didn’t expect that. I’m assuming this was thousands of years ago.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAqRsdyQwMjB
522Please respect copyright.PENANAJjeMNHsqLR
Dove: “Before you say it’s an exaggeration, don’t. It wasn’t that long ago and some elves do remember what happened.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAadZ6NkVGE2
522Please respect copyright.PENANAY8dDAUQPov
Tech: “…Fine, but I’m not taking your word for it. I mean come on, the heart of a god just wiping an entire species away? That’s crazy!”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAS3gBHuhnf4
522Please respect copyright.PENANAFOG3HPPw2Y
Dove: “The multiverse is a crazy and mysterious place. But enough about that, can I come in?”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAhDvTHCjMp6
522Please respect copyright.PENANAfi1rTnkygN
Putting that crazy conversation behind him, Tech nodded and walked to the blue pad. Dove joined and they waited for the grava lift to kick in.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAK3zkWrS8Qe
522Please respect copyright.PENANAPHm8kud3ed
When it did, it brought the due to Tech’s lab. He breathed in the air in it and sighed in joy.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAvKZ8xq5FgW
522Please respect copyright.PENANALX7h2nV2c8
Tech: "Thank you lord for filtered air!"
522Please respect copyright.PENANAk7qH9mFay1
522Please respect copyright.PENANATBo5xT0xWO
Dove: “This place feel…weird.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAOdxTrC8w09
522Please respect copyright.PENANAtm1q88NE8S
Tech: “That’s super clean air for you. Breathe it in and enjoy.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAthasVd6kRj
522Please respect copyright.PENANAjAg0l5mddQ
Tech practically skipped to his most beloved thing, something he dearly missed. The TTACCOA or The Totally Awesome Command Chair Of Awesomeness.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAIIZmSiWX00
522Please respect copyright.PENANAaoNzdkXHez
He soon sat down on the comfy leather. The chair can spin 360 degrees. It’s complete with holo keypads, security feed, games, blueprint makers, and total control over all Tech’s toys and so much more.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAK8BP8eXEsW
522Please respect copyright.PENANA7whb2OBOvx
Dove: “You look like you’re having fun.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAsqXkXM3HWF
522Please respect copyright.PENANAnlL6okDwfa
Tech: “This is my happy place.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANA3V60s2iiUu
522Please respect copyright.PENANANvUUK0htzl
Dove: “A chair?”
522Please respect copyright.PENANATIQ0B5oMuZ
522Please respect copyright.PENANANNwjAKOV08
Tech: “The most awesome chair you’ll ever see! Because I don’t want you sitting in it. This baby is all for me.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAx12ZlFwE27
522Please respect copyright.PENANArHw2LN9UdT
Dove: “Don’t worry, I won’t touch your…baby.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5Y8mfdCEp
522Please respect copyright.PENANAxku5hDVjBw
Tech: “Good, because I sadly have to leave it. I need a Nano-Bath to further repair my body for the work ahead.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAqXV17J0GK1
522Please respect copyright.PENANA1t6FWs4evk
Dove: “You know, I do healing magic so-”
522Please respect copyright.PENANA0STY8Knale
522Please respect copyright.PENANAsT47VB0JgD
Tech: “No thanks, I’m good. No offense, but I’ll trust science over magic any day. Besides, I don’t mind earning my health back through my own genius.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANARdyRYQwdFa
522Please respect copyright.PENANAL1xyZPd1uk
Dove sighed before letting Tech have his way. He’s definitely the most interesting and strangest of the familiars summoned.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAGE1V1Q6OQO
522Please respect copyright.PENANAMXztCeUN8f
Tech: “Feel to look around and marvel. There will be signs to show you around.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAnSNuoQ2KTi
522Please respect copyright.PENANAZyb33Epej7
With that, Tech got up and wandered to the area where the Nano-Baths were. Dove made her way through the place, admiring the high technology.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAnriZiPAmIP
522Please respect copyright.PENANACdc4BUHzLT
If there was one thing that Dove didn’t like though, it was the aesthetic. It was metal and sterile. It made her miss the outdoors already. But as she visited the individual rooms, she had another thought.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAYjOLI3nYQz
522Please respect copyright.PENANASputO40msO
Dove: ‘If they can be customized, this would be a nice base for all of us. Secure, clean, and enough room for everyone. I’m sure they’d prefer this over sleeping outside or going through the trouble of teleporting home. Or in Flamma’s case, on hay.’
522Please respect copyright.PENANAUdZ0Z74HkK
522Please respect copyright.PENANAdAx0vK4jSr
Dove continued her tour of the various areas of the base until she got bored and returned back to the lab. When she entered, she heard a somewhat familiar voice.
522Please respect copyright.PENANACBBucRKBtT
522Please respect copyright.PENANAfcE7sP2tXj
“What the hell is this?!”
522Please respect copyright.PENANALD5wZNh4E8
522Please respect copyright.PENANAonlqgTBwdB
Dove: “Who’s there?!”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAp3t13E925q
522Please respect copyright.PENANAOx5D64sScz
Dove said while looking around for any possible enemy.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAks1Y52NlQ9
522Please respect copyright.PENANAN1kplQyJYs
Tech: “It’s a sound transmission from outside Dove, no one is attacking.’
522Please respect copyright.PENANAY9q6ZXO8TP
522Please respect copyright.PENANAmhS9LpwHcD
Dove turned to face Tech who looks healthier than before. He also has some strange armor over his body. The armor is dark green and black. He sat down and typed some commands to bring up a visual.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAybwGqy6duo
522Please respect copyright.PENANA9qAGswXbfw
Standing outside is Raskreia who is looking at the screen with an interested look.
522Please respect copyright.PENANArJCBc3Of7n
522Please respect copyright.PENANADx5TtZ7YRl
Raskreia: “Oh, I get it. Okay, who built this? I swear it wasn’t the last time I checked.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAeo8EsMO8Zl
522Please respect copyright.PENANA64kbZxoIUx
Tech: “One of us?”
522Please respect copyright.PENANA44OUPj7RLY
522Please respect copyright.PENANAlZ7eFXpKqz
Dove: “Yeah, the one who can use the gate spell to go back home. She’s currently helping Jake first.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAQu5fOno4dF
522Please respect copyright.PENANAqNgEjqw5Ad
Tech: “Really? I was sure she tricked everyone and left on her own. Well, let’s go greet her.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANA9rOma7frXK
522Please respect copyright.PENANAYmLsni9ab3
The duo exited the lab and went back to the grava lift. It took no time to get back to the surface and greet Raskreia.
522Please respect copyright.PENANA4lqaqxFQGT
522Please respect copyright.PENANASmoP8CgsQa
Raskreia: “Whoa, aren’t that sick kid from back then?”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAtm25VGjIfQ
522Please respect copyright.PENANAi6atncbHMN
Tech: “Yeah, I got better.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANALGgBYnpGMB
522Please respect copyright.PENANAZyebmHHVRb
Raskreia: “I see, and who is this?”
522Please respect copyright.PENANA8uWAXZA8Dv
522Please respect copyright.PENANAMBFARU7pZj
Dove: “I’m Dovahkiin. Call me Dove when I’m in this form.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAii5cwG4ASp
522Please respect copyright.PENANAL9FfdSexO7
Raskreia: “No way, really? Zander didn’t mention that. Does that mean you’re undercover or something?”
522Please respect copyright.PENANATNBeqnTfHG
522Please respect copyright.PENANA8l5yowZFA5
Dove: “Something like that, I’ll tell you on the way. Come in.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAoNDY7q5UOy
522Please respect copyright.PENANAWG2ek75PT7
Tech: “You know, it should be me inviting her in. This is my base after all.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANADHcTRseMeS
522Please respect copyright.PENANAgwFSB2s94z
Dove: “Can she come in?”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAjOdwapHLN9
522Please respect copyright.PENANA2DBot9nVuq
Tech: “I didn’t say she couldn’t. Just…come on.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAn3tcbB8eK6
522Please respect copyright.PENANAM9iVVGMUsX
The trio went back inside and headed toward the lab. Dove filled Rask in on their situation.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAkooaqeZUlV
522Please respect copyright.PENANAcGjI104u9i
Raskreia: “Wow, I probably shouldn’t leave then. The next time I come back, the entire country might be in flames.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANA2fnvrJmBFY
522Please respect copyright.PENANAMjXP7Frblw
Raskreia: ‘I probably shouldn’t reveal my true form either. These people would go nuts!’
522Please respect copyright.PENANAjgCjWzg1vZ
522Please respect copyright.PENANArFbWen0xc1
Dove: “No need to worry about that, I wouldn’t let it happen. I have a 100% success rate in saving the world.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAOgkgY2KEnj
522Please respect copyright.PENANA6f8NL0u7Kz
Tech: “Well, since you’re here make yourself a home and marvel at my creations. It’s going to get even more amazing tomorrow.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAzAaYR1DZAk
522Please respect copyright.PENANAXPKlcyHsZ1
Raskreia: “Yeah, the fight. I’m so there for it. But it’s interesting that you just let me hang around your base without supervision.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANA2yDcavzNmD
522Please respect copyright.PENANA3EJAOFplXK
Tech: “Oh don’t worry, I have systems in place in case you’re feeling suicidal.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANA7RGcQ3niXS
522Please respect copyright.PENANAGnjnIBhKxX
Raskreia: “Ha, I like you kid. I’ll think stick around then.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANACKFr2zVTyC
522Please respect copyright.PENANAiEmlVM7bc9
Tech: “Fine, pick a room and-”
522Please respect copyright.PENANA25HvR4xnpT
522Please respect copyright.PENANAzX2klG81mk
Dove: “Speaking of, can we customize them? They are kind of plain as is.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAiwdbrSs9wB
522Please respect copyright.PENANAvUBDKzBpO4
Tech: “Easy, but can we save it for tomorrow? Even I need rest.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAi8kmZtmYRA
522Please respect copyright.PENANAibDGGyLKgh
Dove: “Sure. After I show Raskreia to the living rooms, I’ll probably have to leave and fly around the academy. I wouldn’t want people to worry that a large dragon is missing and on the loose.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAmcq58oVc4s
522Please respect copyright.PENANAAVOi6BHsVc
Raskreia: “That must suck. You’ll probably have to sleep on the roof then.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANADQnKVXyLJ0
522Please respect copyright.PENANA3Y8jwdenTf
Dove: “I’m sure it won’t be so bad.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAYAOe6u10IV
522Please respect copyright.PENANAYrCJkvKCoj
Dove: ‘Great, just when I found an actual bed to sleep in…’
522Please respect copyright.PENANAkhgi2ObmPJ
522Please respect copyright.PENANASGS8O29Tt4
Tech: “I’m actually curious about your dragon form. I’ll walk out with you when you’re ready.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANA4L0yeC3rU2
522Please respect copyright.PENANAKREiE5jaV3
Dove: “Alright.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAWlfsW5Y7On
522Please respect copyright.PENANAgXQqCqrMjz
So Dove showed Raskreia to one of the living rooms and she proceeded to flop on the bed. Leaving her to get comfortable, the duo left the base for the surface.
522Please respect copyright.PENANASK47IehgKo
522Please respect copyright.PENANAIVBRXzaj0I
Dove got a good distance away from before using her dragon aspect shout to transform into a dragon. She then took off and flew around the academy.
522Please respect copyright.PENANAw2LzrDjvg5
522Please respect copyright.PENANA3DCUSxCyFp
Tech: “Fine, I’ll admit that transforming into a dragon is cool and beyond what I’m capable of. I mean I could make a mechanical dragon. Note to self, post that as a future project and pit it against Dove.”
522Please respect copyright.PENANAkGtpEqH8Ei
522Please respect copyright.PENANAzVPOcHJZr9
With that, Tech went back into his lab to finish a few preparations for tomorrow. And then finally getting a good night’s sleep.
