Siesta was blown away by what she was seeing. A white clean world with strange tasting air unlike anything she was used to. Regardless, she stepped onto a strange large platform with her dearest friends. Then it shook before sinking down, making her grab onto Dove.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAvc7VpMhY3S
213Please respect copyright.PENANAVo3ouUlTcx
Dove: “You’ll get used to it.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAgU6GnCPz1k
213Please respect copyright.PENANAgPssK6Ucqz
Siesta: “The air too?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAH8AAoTap8q
213Please respect copyright.PENANAYu392BHZWY
Dove: “Eventually.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAJlTBITi4xK
213Please respect copyright.PENANAqLLs0cp8yP
Flamma: “I have to admit Tech, even I’m blown away by this.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAKv1NU6Rs1X
213Please respect copyright.PENANAldVwJKKJMZ
Tech: “This is nothing. I’ve upgraded things while Dove was away.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAwXPn0L1BaH
213Please respect copyright.PENANABzQL2yHgjn
Dove: “Raskreia did mention something but didn’t want to ruin the surprise.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAJcOy3FiRx4
213Please respect copyright.PENANASWkGt7dXbG
Tech: “You’ll thank her later.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAGV70cTSBCx
213Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZQuDcXL4T
Once the platform was deep enough, two sets of steel doors closed over head. Then the door before them opened revealing a very large room.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAJnFTsFggjH
213Please respect copyright.PENANAWXJZBRBejC
All around, the group saw things being moved about by metal arms moving on their own. Little metal golems flew about, fiddling and carrying things around the complex.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAnvAHVYLKRl
213Please respect copyright.PENANAgekvAJ9h9x
To everyone but Dove, it was strange and alien.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAET5CdkMjAp
213Please respect copyright.PENANAkDoOFNUQ5r
Dove: “You sure you’re not a Dwemer?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANATuHLS3abTU
213Please respect copyright.PENANAEyRILBmgkw
Tech: “Really? They had stuff like this?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAuspiuCx0F9
213Please respect copyright.PENANAx9LAyQoshm
Dove: “Yes, we still have to fight them if we delve into their ruins.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANA0iUw5Q5NkO
213Please respect copyright.PENANA0tzHIK19bi
Tech: “Interesting, shame I can’t meet them.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANASBlonxUbXW
213Please respect copyright.PENANAT2ngh1d3bm
Siesta: “T-Tech, what is all of this?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAzDZy2UXJ1s
213Please respect copyright.PENANAJdAW5rBC7W
Tech: “This…is the power of science. Something magic can’t replicate.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANASWgBMyTAPj
213Please respect copyright.PENANAuYSn9tjckC
Flamma: “Flying autonomous Golems Tech, not that impressive. Your speed in making them is, but still.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAIH0JzX3nN9
213Please respect copyright.PENANAOKisfTIFDF
Tech: “This is only the tip of the iceberg.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAqnZbYZgwKk
213Please respect copyright.PENANAqaD9AY09mU
After saying his piece, Tech made his way over to an another platform and spread out his arms, waiting. After a second, hands and arms came out and aided in removing his armor then reassembling it on a nearby rack. They then gave him back his goggles and headphone before he came back down. But something was off, he was a little…pale.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAGFvZE75Ukv
213Please respect copyright.PENANAYGH2crpfKK
Flamma: “Hey, are you okay?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANATADRUuSDx8
213Please respect copyright.PENANApUIEg5Tk1L
Seista: “Oh no, did Guiche actually-”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAHZHBruKpkz
213Please respect copyright.PENANAG6nT2gpo19
Tech: “Please, he couldn’t hurt me even if I let him. I just need some rest.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAlxG4SSrQll
213Please respect copyright.PENANAXEoz2twguV
Dove: “Still don’t want me to heal you?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANA0vXuMJgcUQ
213Please respect copyright.PENANA2WRApAIhCW
Tech: “Nope.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAB8zrrR3G37
213Please respect copyright.PENANAtS8BPaJkRl
Dove: “Suit yourself.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAFvYDW7YFY6
213Please respect copyright.PENANA4ocGTXwPiF
Seista: “Please Tech, if you’re really not well then you should let Dove heal you.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANArcCqbCw3Pi
213Please respect copyright.PENANAMxa7iNHo7U
Tech: “Like I said before, I rather not rely on magic to help me. But…for small stuff maybe I’ll make an exception. But enough about my health, I want to show you your rooms.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANA79VsHK7Oji
213Please respect copyright.PENANA8TPW1tY5Ty
Dove: “Already?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAgoWvgcYHRz
213Please respect copyright.PENANATPHk2irk3H
Tech: “Like I said, easy.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANA6zgqM2FQDO
213Please respect copyright.PENANA9nm6ffYfjI
Tech led the group to another lift which took them to another room above. Not as large as the last but it was more organized, something like a dorm room.
213Please respect copyright.PENANA2UFcKTSYqY
213Please respect copyright.PENANA0XVsWdhL16
Tech: “So far I only made four. If the others want, and if they behave, I’ll make more.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAGVEPj97ugG
213Please respect copyright.PENANAsn1wFMSudz
Dove opened the closest door and to her surprise, it had a medieval style design. Not quite the Nord design she’s used to but it’s better than everything else here.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAUb7HZxJxHs
213Please respect copyright.PENANAT6pZag61DK
Tech: “If you have any requests then ask me or one of the machines floating around occasionally.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAQjH3F5Ggww
213Please respect copyright.PENANASBRCt4j92A
Dove: “I like it, thanks Tech.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAiJFOCrF7Xq
213Please respect copyright.PENANAbo8Fur2rqe
Siesta: “Is this really for us?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAObBzXg1UZK
213Please respect copyright.PENANA2QBKK45ixd
She says as she looks around the well-designed room. A room fit for a noble…
213Please respect copyright.PENANAYWtfhx175t
213Please respect copyright.PENANAegFbAvmpKV
Tech: “It was a good design exercise, don’t look too deeply into it.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANABokmXHDyyq
213Please respect copyright.PENANAvUH3c4CSy6
Flamma: “Softy.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANA0QEayPQHuY
213Please respect copyright.PENANA0nHmquEXsP
Tech: “Shut it.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAAYowK64VTv
213Please respect copyright.PENANA5HYidOC77I
Flamma: “Ha, jokes aside though, I have decline.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAGA91ENquTL
213Please respect copyright.PENANADUKZq4Jt8I
Everyone stopped what they were doing and their eyes widen.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAFHjcRckosx
213Please respect copyright.PENANACaeygkeuju
Tech: “Out of everyone, I was sure you would be the most grateful. You sleep on hay for goodness sake.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAIVPAmJeVdZ
213Please respect copyright.PENANA9VDAj2IN2B
Siesta: “Why Flamma?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAZQ7uzLe1Jq
213Please respect copyright.PENANAw7DVzGDJwX
Flamma: “Don’t get me wrong, I like the design and will visit. But…I don’t want to leave Louise alone.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAvAgECM2hKC
213Please respect copyright.PENANAfQnOYF7kVh
Tech: “Let me repeat myself, you sleep on hay woman. Accept the nice comfy bed, I won’t even ask for thanks.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAwtUlkGcYRT
213Please respect copyright.PENANAKIOeWyEf6N
Dove: “Does this have something to do with why you decided to be Louise’s familiar?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7MqswIncx
213Please respect copyright.PENANASAZ2iqF1n0
Tech: “And getting branded like an animal, I might add.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAXcWUSu9Hu3
213Please respect copyright.PENANA4HplhF8hNw
Flamma looked at them and wondered if she should reveal what she felt. Would they use Louise and abuse her potential? After a moment, the answer was clear to see.
213Please respect copyright.PENANALHO3pIJrVe
213Please respect copyright.PENANAmupxYa1Wsi
Tech is too proud to do it, Dove has no need of it and Siesta is too sweet. But how much to tell, that’s the question.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAJkXPpELcnH
213Please respect copyright.PENANADlfJVJjvwv
Flamma: “Yeah, I’ll explain if you’re sure this place is secure.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAeTuE3yODOQ
213Please respect copyright.PENANAoCtV6lCogh
Tech: “Trust me when I say, there is no safer place on this planet. So, what’s so special about the girl? Besides her admittedly impressive summoning ability.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANApOcgZHKp6v
213Please respect copyright.PENANA8prAvld549
Flamma: “Do any of you know of Void Magic?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAtNa2YIrgUv
213Please respect copyright.PENANADPVkVWUf0q
Dove: “Unless it has something to do with Sithis or Namira, gods forbid, then no.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAB5VfNellV5
213Please respect copyright.PENANAtjd9TKOfEn
Tech: “It’s magic so no.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAYCIPJH39Ls
213Please respect copyright.PENANACulNkFzkp9
They look to Seista who’s blankly staring at Flamma.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAwAhIZ3L02u
213Please respect copyright.PENANAuiy3ONty60
Flamma: “You know, don’t you?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAfeHpIapN5N
213Please respect copyright.PENANAkrrp1SZi6S
Siesta: “N-Not much but I’ve heard that it’s the lost fifth element, far more powerful than the rest and related to the Founder Brimir. Are you saying-”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAH3gOtBWUgc
213Please respect copyright.PENANANMJeAKYmZe
Flamma: “Yes, Louise has Void Magic but it’s more than that. The power I sensed within her is…incredible. It’s may even surpass my power.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANA2cj1MDqVLW
213Please respect copyright.PENANANfFdxHYhF3
Dove: “Y-You’re surely joking.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAarwEwd9ZF2
213Please respect copyright.PENANAyXFDrNsHYA
Seista: “Is Miss Louise truly that powerful?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAOvIHKVnWIu
213Please respect copyright.PENANAyarNu0w7hv
Flamma: “She can be. That’s why I must stay with her. To protect her from people who may deceive and use her.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAZUa3Sw7wA6
213Please respect copyright.PENANA5sFy5G50xn
Tech: “Ugh, I’m too tired for this crazy magical stuff. Debrief me later, I need some rest. But before I go, here.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAHAC6N68qiA
213Please respect copyright.PENANAdcxgwHUINq
Tech hands the three of them a steel rod with a blue slit down the center.
213Please respect copyright.PENANA1RUI85265p
213Please respect copyright.PENANASFJk0WzHdj
Dove: “I’d rather a sword.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAsxXO0IGlt9
213Please respect copyright.PENANAGSBd2yewOv
Before Flamma can quip herself, a thin sheet of harden light shot out from the side of the rod.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAyRxLJRLz2r
213Please respect copyright.PENANAGmGccIuI6a
Tech: “Information is the most powerful tool at our disposal, don’t waste it.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANA8R0BKk3D4V
213Please respect copyright.PENANANsHqc4nG7E
Dove: “Why give us all of this information?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAfyp5plq1Yg
213Please respect copyright.PENANAdHtHcx5ylu
Tech: “So what I will do in future won’t fry your brains. I’ll plan on putting whatever your Dwemer did to shame.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAhOLpFHRJS3
213Please respect copyright.PENANApfFwV2u6om
He winks before leaving for his own room to recover for the day. Meanwhile, the maid trio looked down at their data pads.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAO8czHj435i
213Please respect copyright.PENANAKiJ16kX2Es
Siesta: “How do we use this?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAfr07b2TtWm
213Please respect copyright.PENANAyA0kZ8Vbrv
Unbeknownst to everyone in Tech’s base, something had slithered in. A snake on a mission. But even Aeron had to admit that the place was well secured and impressive.
213Please respect copyright.PENANApIEZauGczv
213Please respect copyright.PENANAE8ZyLqKyL2
But it’s magical defenses were lacking and made it easier than expected to invade. At first, he was going to get in, kill Tech, and get out. But he lucked out and heard some interesting information about Louise.
213Please respect copyright.PENANARhwIHEcMAT
213Please respect copyright.PENANATLJ1FFhv66
Aeron: ‘Her value just went up. If I’m lucky, I may even be able to steal this Void Magic for myself. But first…’
213Please respect copyright.PENANARVKt3Fs1Te
213Please respect copyright.PENANAp53edd86su
Aeron made sure to follow Tech to his room. The room was the cleanest he’s ever seen and was covered in soft shades of white and blue. Tech went to a strange capsule and taped on a panel with bumps. The capsule opened and Aeron saw his chance. While in his invisible snake form, he used a modified Ray of Sickness on Tech.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAjNWifDRfBm
213Please respect copyright.PENANAl7gjO0ZqIk
Tech slumbed forward a bit but catching himself. He shook his head before regaining his footing.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAwMRof19Mr4
213Please respect copyright.PENANAX4mzSYuzgT
Tech: “Whoa, I might need this more than I thought.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAqvUKaLiQQ4
213Please respect copyright.PENANAm7viIta29n
Aeron: ‘That’s one threat dealt with.’
213Please respect copyright.PENANAZTeFAJeKsx
213Please respect copyright.PENANArEi3IBG63r
Aeron slithered away with a smile while Tech got into the capsule. The poison was made slow but this way, no foul play would be suspected. Tech is sickly after all.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAsWo5yZJzRA
213Please respect copyright.PENANA23yOkWzQ8i
Thanks to a small A.I sphere named NAVI that emerged from the data pad, the maid trio learned much more about the world of Tech. And it was…a lot to process.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAqeQJbu949D
213Please respect copyright.PENANAIFMhndv7NO
Siesta: “Tech’s world is scary…”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAOstlIvUqg4
213Please respect copyright.PENANA1a4BDminKL
Flamma: “I’m more surprised that Tech was sick like this his whole life. For him to then spit in destiny’s face and still succeed at life is badass. Even becoming whatever a CEO of Innovation Industries is sounds impressive.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAcbn9W4iKW3
213Please respect copyright.PENANA8dyFs8AoYX
Dove: “The way they wage war doesn’t bother you?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAye3V9moULh
213Please respect copyright.PENANAoWqEBicfpC
Flamma: “A bit, but I doubt Tech can bring all of that to bear. Besides, you fought that Ravager and these things are comparable. I’m not worried.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANArAr12G01tV
213Please respect copyright.PENANACTpVkSmDfg
Dove: ‘I wouldn’t want to fight hundreds of them though.’
213Please respect copyright.PENANAG4stIShCnH
213Please respect copyright.PENANAhEZdXLMZZj
As for Siesta, she couldn’t help but feel some dread. This world was already so terrible to commoners like her. But after learning about Tech’s world, the world became so much more dangerous.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAiURE7cyxDn
213Please respect copyright.PENANAyrmFBop6uy
What if more like Tech came here and weren’t as nice as him? What would happen to her and her friends? What if one of the nobles got a hold of this power?
213Please respect copyright.PENANANUfXaDxD7U
213Please respect copyright.PENANAuEX9f51wHG
So many scenarios raced through her mind and it only worsen her feelings of helplessness. She trusted her dear friends but…
213Please respect copyright.PENANAAqOhSQc9qV
213Please respect copyright.PENANAggKohaBEA9
Flamma: “Siesta? You good?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAI40Nj2onfw
213Please respect copyright.PENANAINxMuiGXOe
Siesta: “O-Oh, I’m fine. Just a bit tired. It’s been a long day. I’d like to finish my work for today before sleeping in one of the rooms Tech built for us.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAniiKQsLUCX
213Please respect copyright.PENANAXhK2Jz2DV6
Flamma: “Good idea, I need to get back to Louise too. What about you Dove?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAY4vMvn5M0t
213Please respect copyright.PENANAZAQkQEINcK
Dove: “I’ll stay here and learn more about Tech’s world. Never know when we might have to fight something like the Ravager again.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAvIqDqSG341
213Please respect copyright.PENANA17yz4Ep7hv
Siesta: “…”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAF138Woba6j
213Please respect copyright.PENANAKBosXc1eH2
Flamma: “Alright, later Dove.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAwlHcnw0JGg
213Please respect copyright.PENANAtjposFloRu
When Flamma and Siesta left, Dove got on the bed and continued to scroll through the data pad. Her topic…new metals.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAJalbIR3yfF
213Please respect copyright.PENANAZytHhZz2YR
Raskreia: “Jake, you following me around is not going to make me go plane hopping faster.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAr7UMvlaaia
213Please respect copyright.PENANAqiECmf3xlr
Jake: “Would a blade to the neck help?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAkEgD4yRozt
213Please respect copyright.PENANAyn5xhIBRUO
Raskreia: “No, but you may try your luck if you want.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAvqr5xyQp4w
213Please respect copyright.PENANAJXxEmqmjpZ
Raskreia just wanted to enjoy some food while waiting for Flamma but Jake thought she was avoiding her job. Like doing a favor was some job she had to perform. The nerve of him!
213Please respect copyright.PENANA3Mgqmah3wJ
213Please respect copyright.PENANA70aULvLor4
Jake: “Ugh, makes me wish Guiche challenged me. At least I wouldn’t be so bored.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAM1h1RAXofu
213Please respect copyright.PENANAI5MqGCbc5O
Jake: ‘You’re so lucky Zander is still around.’
213Please respect copyright.PENANAomgkKI0XT5
213Please respect copyright.PENANAxaehdHhN1B
Jake took a look around the cafeteria and spots Zander and his fan girls. Even when fighting off the ebony’s advances, he still kept an eye on Jake.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAFgXxRJhBCx
213Please respect copyright.PENANAi9GeX5RiBw
But at least that blue dragon wasn’t around. Even thinking about it made him click his tongue in annoyance. Its fascination with him was getting on his nerves.
213Please respect copyright.PENANApjWQBsuovW
213Please respect copyright.PENANAkmcCT6lalS
Raskreia: “You could learn to socialize.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAtvjgHbnibg
213Please respect copyright.PENANAYRemEpP2zC
Jake: “…No.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAbvyXnzzhuM
213Please respect copyright.PENANANwjaxrOi2G
She could only sigh at the kid’s hard exterior.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAkV6gF57giQ
213Please respect copyright.PENANAIUYntFWHKM
Raskreia: “Look, I’ll start looking after I talk with Flamma.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAoq0OdYssIX
213Please respect copyright.PENANAU0Bo3yKONN
Jake: “Why? What’s so important?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAS3ObTYR7rT
213Please respect copyright.PENANAKCApNbUeS7
Raskreia: “Her true nature.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAaLjC0xsBo6
213Please respect copyright.PENANAB9MCJ1CSr1
Jake: “A dragon or something right? What of it?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANATTlFDYsUvI
213Please respect copyright.PENANArHicPIyhTa
Raskreia: “I have a feeling there’s more to her.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAt2DxM5vcBv
213Please respect copyright.PENANAK8ptVsQGcu
Just then, the door to Tech’s base opened revealing Flamma and Siesta.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAsltSTpic2t
213Please respect copyright.PENANA821ikxTbv8
Raskreia: “Finally, hey Flam-”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAOTfZQr5FCm
213Please respect copyright.PENANAK3dol9KByc
Raskreia got up and ran to the duo while waving her hands. But something flashed in the corner of her vision. By instinct, she raised her finger and used Fire Bolt on whatever she sensed.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAT2hR49E2pR
213Please respect copyright.PENANAfBh1gsxjEp
When the flaming bullet hit the grass, everyone looked at Raskreia with a mix of confusion and outrage.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAdPFXbnRJ9K
213Please respect copyright.PENANAJAQ9V9SDE9
Seista: “Ah!”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAeZM97Rn9A9
213Please respect copyright.PENANAR41d4T8cbK
Flamma: “The fuck was that?!”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAxKZVjhjdlZ
213Please respect copyright.PENANAtE4xPKSV2j
Raskreia: “I sensed something.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAs8yFJStlJZ
213Please respect copyright.PENANAHIpufMNA45
Flamma: “What? An enemy?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAhKJUl08w9z
213Please respect copyright.PENANAopp7vIqwtr
Raskreia: “I don’t know. It’s gone now but…it felt somewhat familiar. Like something from my world.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAnAnNhsCKUW
213Please respect copyright.PENANALAA42yn258
Siesta: “R-Really?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANA0N29Xo5YQ5
213Please respect copyright.PENANANFjlmRWfhT
Flamma: “I didn’t sense anything.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANArcmjFQujLS
213Please respect copyright.PENANAT3d5Oi3Z6n
Raskreia: “It’s okay, not everyone is as good as me at magical sensing.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANA2U20kuMOk2
213Please respect copyright.PENANAAvSt26JDqK
Zander: “Is everything alright?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAoSMPOGdLFn
213Please respect copyright.PENANAdcl9i8oJza
The girls turned to Zander and the ever present Kirche.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAvQdHHfgtOS
213Please respect copyright.PENANAs7I5Vj0DUQ
Kirche: “I should have known one of Zero’s familiars to be crazy. I thought it would be boy though.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAF8Lo9bOAAu
213Please respect copyright.PENANA4qh2SkCUdj
Raskreia: “Watch it.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANA9xUsi3jqSC
213Please respect copyright.PENANAtNBgqzcikN
Zander: “Be nice Kirche, I’m sure she noticed something we didn’t.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAKKqo5oLtKy
213Please respect copyright.PENANANxX98Q8Fgp
Kirche: “Something even you couldn’t sense?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAwNmccs1HRP
213Please respect copyright.PENANAYBFSJ3RUF3
Zander: “I leave support roles to others. So, unfortunately, I’m not that good at healing or reconnaissance.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANASNtjeKykaQ
213Please respect copyright.PENANAZLHfZ5BqmA
Jake: “That’s good to know.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANA2cneCMdxVa
213Please respect copyright.PENANAoCV1udWBE9
Jake came up from behind and unlike everyone, he could see the snake making his escape.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAmxaDDk02om
213Please respect copyright.PENANA5pKh4Rtn4o
Jake: ‘If she won’t help me, why should I?’
213Please respect copyright.PENANA3wFUuspLoN
213Please respect copyright.PENANABXN8fyAU1Q
Jake: “Rask, call me when you have a lead before start I losing it.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANADy55XXQh46
213Please respect copyright.PENANACaS50Yw2AQ
Jake jumps over the school walls and disappears into the coming night.

Raskreia: “Such a troublesome kid. Makes me wonder what made him this way. Sorry, everyone, maybe I made mistake. False alarm.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAbzn2KszogZ
213Please respect copyright.PENANALxqZMSkcwV
Zander: “Are you sure?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANA5usCY9gDTs
213Please respect copyright.PENANAMSvo3EpqTt
Raskreia: “Yep. But enough of my blunder, Flamma, got a moment to talk?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAjfWNSrBIrr
213Please respect copyright.PENANAFKshuRHSVH
Flamma: “I’m on my way to Louise, we’ll talk on the way. See you tomorrow Siesta.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAjEJ0HCfHpH
213Please respect copyright.PENANAmrC64pzpx1
Siesta: “Have a good night Flamma.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANABunlJ7Bmy0
213Please respect copyright.PENANAaUHfDN5gEM
Raskreia and Flamma proceeded to leave the rest of the group behind. However, despite outwardly focusing on her conversation with Flamma, she couldn’t help but think back to what she sensed before.

213Please respect copyright.PENANAQlLj8kmeR8
Raskreia: ‘I hope it was nothing…’

It was a sight that nearly drove Louise to hurl. Hanging in the air with some sort of strands keeping her afloat was her fake.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAo9hgvzy0H4
213Please respect copyright.PENANAyh19llvaaC
She was a mangled mess but the pink hair made it clear who it was. She wanted to destroy this mockery to herself but her sad state…stayed her hand.

Bench: “Alright, you saw what you needed. Now leave.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANABVyM3o7fiy
213Please respect copyright.PENANAJRSMfvqbo3
Louise: “How dar-”
213Please respect copyright.PENANA6yjkqfbHXw
213Please respect copyright.PENANARNvV2VQRfM
Bench: “If it wasn’t for the fact that you are Louise, I would have kicked you out. But I won’t tolerate you endangering…yourself.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAbT6mPOlEMW
213Please respect copyright.PENANAeWXtPboYM1
Louise: “But…how is this possible? Why are they two of me and why is she…like that?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAFaCXLVF2bO
213Please respect copyright.PENANAXs7rOpH8t9
Bench: “I don’t have much time to explain but the short answer is I don’t know and it’s a long story. I have some ideas to explain the first one but they are unscientific. Right now, I just want to finish my repairs for today. I already wasted a day trying to get the local clinic to work for me and then transforming this shack into something manageable.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAMLwFsO6bdW
213Please respect copyright.PENANAo45TzEtzSu
Louise: “…Will she be fine?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANA0o7SWHAQLF
213Please respect copyright.PENANAKqxDs7R0wT
Bench: “She will be if I’m given enough time to work on her. Now, if you’ll excuse me.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAC1MhPgGja4
213Please respect copyright.PENANASFwTq6wiZN
With nothing more to say, Louise leaves the transformed shack confused and dejected. What was really distressing was the pulling feeling she got when around her fake. As if she was being sucked into a whirlpool.
213Please respect copyright.PENANANtVIo5CDbK
213Please respect copyright.PENANAICzkpOnvpI
The thought of giving into the sensation…terrifiedher. She wanted…no…needed to escape this feeling.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAONDesEPO0t
213Please respect copyright.PENANAHiPVtmTlwm
Louise: ‘Where’s Aeron when I need him? Learning a new spell should help get my mind off this…’
213Please respect copyright.PENANAQDb3MEdCeM
213Please respect copyright.PENANAgwZhpfI6Pl
But instead of the dark star, the sun instead appeared before her.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAlXuiGR7UZi
213Please respect copyright.PENANAfbLVI6fi9n
Flamma: “Hey Louise, we were looking everywhere for you.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAnxPHPNqEYJ
213Please respect copyright.PENANAiPQnAeUL8Q
Louise: “Flamma!”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAGSEXg5Yqb6
213Please respect copyright.PENANAHIyly2gP6I
Louise quickly regained herself and pushed down her unexpected excitement.
213Please respect copyright.PENANA22efNGNqNU
213Please respect copyright.PENANAxIjYeEkaGI
Louise: “What are you doing here? Aren’t you suppose to be with Tech and the other maids?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAtxsfKuUsft
213Please respect copyright.PENANAeNryGwuHHc
Flamma: “Jealous?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANA1BrkIhwHmZ
213Please respect copyright.PENANAN4KCqDyTzx
Louise: “N-No. Get over yourself familiar!”
213Please respect copyright.PENANA3eTR9JSZkx
213Please respect copyright.PENANAzugYxrAZZU
Raskreia: “Oh, she got it bad huh? Understandable.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAmLY9xqvzVS
213Please respect copyright.PENANADSvf5ffBYO
She whispers into Flamma’s ear.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAc7UiE3Js6Y
213Please respect copyright.PENANA4mV8sFPmjv
Flamma: “Shush you.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANA2b5poTmRaI
213Please respect copyright.PENANABdUGwxMOij
Flamma: “Don’t worry master, I was just learning somethings from my friends. I won’t leave your side for anything less.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAXT5zcFmMKe
213Please respect copyright.PENANA4bjk8KI5zs
Louise: “I-I-I know. It’s only natural for a familiar to be there for their master. Now, why is she is here? Is she ready to become my familiar too?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ky1bseQKF
213Please respect copyright.PENANAzRBCd1OzYa
Raskreia: “Buy me dinner first and maybe I’ll think about it.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANArs8nU3yJtv
213Please respect copyright.PENANAQCpaIoTtOB
That got Louise to fume red while Flamma giggled at how adorable Louise can be.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAWCEMTSRR8A
213Please respect copyright.PENANAztPeQXtxkx
Raskreia: “Don’t be like that kid, I was just learning more about Flamma. Congrats by the way.”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAjsSTVw8UsY
213Please respect copyright.PENANA1mdmIUhZXI
Louise: “What are you talking about?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANALzYcZo8Gy3
213Please respect copyright.PENANA4JHofgm5A9
Raskreia: “You didn’t just bond with a dragon, but apparently one that was worshiped as a Goddess long ago. Nice job!”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAtJlJLNF0rs
213Please respect copyright.PENANAig7QWdwHog
Louise: “…Huh?”
213Please respect copyright.PENANAlrJZYhd18u

In the shadows of the night, Aeron was collecting himself after his brush with failure. He wasn’t scared of a fight but he’s unsure if he could win if he was revealed at that moment.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAovw9BIM52v
213Please respect copyright.PENANAsVPVmaZlhY
Raskeria alone may be his equal. That’s not even counting Zander and Flamma. But Jake is interesting…
213Please respect copyright.PENANAM8LvUzeKbu
213Please respect copyright.PENANAb23zHTdIMK
Aeron: ‘He noticed but didn’t do anything, interesting. Maybe he could be a good tool for later. Speaking of tools…’
213Please respect copyright.PENANAMRJN7xPru3
213Please respect copyright.PENANA6emrRrC5fg
He needed to step his plans up. He needed Louise firmly on his side and maybe another pawn in this game if he is to survive and win. He can’t afford to be caught now.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAYH1d5wzDvU
213Please respect copyright.PENANAZw5jHOYB7H
Luckily for him, the pieces were already in place.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAWDMH38bcZI
213Please respect copyright.PENANAzzuJp1T48q
Guiche is probably bitter about his lose, a perfect mind to send over the edge.
213Please respect copyright.PENANAyxwVxlEnvw
213Please respect copyright.PENANAPdg1fdNTiu
Siesta was alone and vulnerable, a useful pawn and possible ally depending on how he pulls this off.
213Please respect copyright.PENANARWFhKzqVz2
213Please respect copyright.PENANAFZ2w5RnKfD
Finally, night was coming. Flamma and the other familiars should be asleep soon. It would be risky but what’s life without some form of gamble.
213Please respect copyright.PENANA8PnpbEq8Tr
213Please respect copyright.PENANAAWHECQRbQk
Aeron casts alter self so he looks like Siesta before making his way to Guiche.
