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.

131Please respect copyright.PENANAktuYNxrWzm
Dove: “You’ll get used to it.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAqaWbekfRNK
131Please respect copyright.PENANAdlNtjh0ww1
Siesta: “The air too?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANANZtkS8DCcg
131Please respect copyright.PENANAqLnTXRyIaZ
Dove: “Eventually.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAW3eOo8hT2t
131Please respect copyright.PENANAQNkx4N6Tn8
Flamma: “I have to admit Tech, even I’m blown away by this.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANACUqh7N891C
131Please respect copyright.PENANAPm15mhneWK
Tech: “This is nothing. I’ve upgraded things while Dove was away.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANARU7Qusz86O
131Please respect copyright.PENANAJEVMez5YRp
Dove: “Raskreia did mention something but didn’t want to ruin the surprise.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAgX6MxsW7lw
131Please respect copyright.PENANAsVqPmbrSe2
Tech: “You’ll thank her later.”

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.
131Please respect copyright.PENANADfwhCbmii5
131Please respect copyright.PENANAXZHPhjhiBq
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.
131Please respect copyright.PENANAyxKg06eqee
131Please respect copyright.PENANAbhUBl3hZnQ
To everyone but Dove, it was strange and alien.
131Please respect copyright.PENANA9iT8iORE5D
131Please respect copyright.PENANA09JILl8YBr
Dove: “You sure you’re not a Dwemer?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAxTRxbuiHUf
131Please respect copyright.PENANAD6a0quEOxo
Tech: “Really? They had stuff like this?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANA32vI9S01K3
131Please respect copyright.PENANA39Y5q8NFyr
Dove: “Yes, we still have to fight them if we delve into their ruins.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANArx83FdyTkA
131Please respect copyright.PENANAF4dm44HLQz
Tech: “Interesting, shame I can’t meet them.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAZQucxEOQhP
131Please respect copyright.PENANAsB4homostx
Siesta: “T-Tech, what is all of this?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAr15CfCaN8w
131Please respect copyright.PENANARy6EGMRdae
Tech: “This…is the power of science. Something magic can’t replicate.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANA9uNQji8fOS
131Please respect copyright.PENANABoHPBRz0mJ
Flamma: “Flying autonomous Golems Tech, not that impressive. Your speed in making them is, but still.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAdnEcBrCZb7
131Please respect copyright.PENANA4mp8HoRQf2
Tech: “This is only the tip of the iceberg.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAR6NPNvdESV
131Please respect copyright.PENANAbRuzDftgV5
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.
131Please respect copyright.PENANADCNsE28CVw
131Please respect copyright.PENANA1njywZ9zSD
Flamma: “Hey, are you okay?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANApKYps8dSq5
131Please respect copyright.PENANA6TJs2eLEuh
Seista: “Oh no, did Guiche actually-”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAGpzpaYOfdC
131Please respect copyright.PENANAz7XA9uUzKz
Tech: “Please, he couldn’t hurt me even if I let him. I just need some rest.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAq1vnoYVwAK
131Please respect copyright.PENANA8MkbZHBPcq
Dove: “Still don’t want me to heal you?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANA5QyqnHVE9g
131Please respect copyright.PENANAcw0aIfyFbw
Tech: “Nope.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANASTcnIh8xUF
131Please respect copyright.PENANAfNOULCxrkf
Dove: “Suit yourself.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAO6KzhMmswH
131Please respect copyright.PENANAmIzBgc8XG4
Seista: “Please Tech, if you’re really not well then you should let Dove heal you.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANA9uQYM80ozq
131Please respect copyright.PENANAOXK8P8pKXD
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.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAU65nDZSq87
131Please respect copyright.PENANA4qkMW27Rp2
Dove: “Already?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAMdTIDTH3d0
131Please respect copyright.PENANAg6zEKeb7tA
Tech: “Like I said, easy.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAx65szChcST
131Please respect copyright.PENANAMup2I1OngI
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.
131Please respect copyright.PENANAT7qbdgNHyX
131Please respect copyright.PENANAvubRH9g4Fy
Tech: “So far I only made four. If the others want, and if they behave, I’ll make more.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAYHD9hC71xI
131Please respect copyright.PENANAZpAVx6ftNy
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.
131Please respect copyright.PENANA8vRrZiXiMT
131Please respect copyright.PENANAgL4Mxlz2YL
Tech: “If you have any requests then ask me or one of the machines floating around occasionally.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANA21EPfwzhzp
131Please respect copyright.PENANA5IfUCB4WVR
Dove: “I like it, thanks Tech.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAvzXDaS1XbE
131Please respect copyright.PENANAu3tENeyo36
Siesta: “Is this really for us?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAQ87MvpQbJV
131Please respect copyright.PENANAaHLhXyeCOF
She says as she looks around the well-designed room. A room fit for a noble…
131Please respect copyright.PENANA0l2FyjuHqA
131Please respect copyright.PENANAQUgeyerCNP
Tech: “It was a good design exercise, don’t look too deeply into it.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAbAQkfttVHk
131Please respect copyright.PENANAug5YlvjtzO
Flamma: “Softy.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAm5xro649UC
131Please respect copyright.PENANA5N1snw8RYr
Tech: “Shut it.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAaV4QHF8IZl
131Please respect copyright.PENANAVUjQIuvlDf
Flamma: “Ha, jokes aside though, I have decline.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANA6SIeNax5yp
131Please respect copyright.PENANABUBrJFA9s1
Everyone stopped what they were doing and their eyes widen.
131Please respect copyright.PENANAbwzUizWIeR
131Please respect copyright.PENANAzXzfZlPnPt
Tech: “Out of everyone, I was sure you would be the most grateful. You sleep on hay for goodness sake.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANA9pWYyPYSSa
131Please respect copyright.PENANAnjs7grfZ0e
Siesta: “Why Flamma?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAFfaH5Om1Y1
131Please respect copyright.PENANAed4va42DJ3
Flamma: “Don’t get me wrong, I like the design and will visit. But…I don’t want to leave Louise alone.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANALcVGjybtTl
131Please respect copyright.PENANA5qjElJCwHt
Tech: “Let me repeat myself, you sleep on hay woman. Accept the nice comfy bed, I won’t even ask for thanks.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANALYwxv2P7rC
131Please respect copyright.PENANAl8YSNjbeI5
Dove: “Does this have something to do with why you decided to be Louise’s familiar?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAdMjz93bXmm
131Please respect copyright.PENANAmJWFTx6ggn
Tech: “And getting branded like an animal, I might add.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAlxnMlHlYim
131Please respect copyright.PENANAsYx2qF0X11
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.
131Please respect copyright.PENANAh7O2c863R4
131Please respect copyright.PENANAv6CN34cTdv
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.
131Please respect copyright.PENANAvAjzRnuaZk
131Please respect copyright.PENANAUuSKFDeGF3
Flamma: “Yeah, I’ll explain if you’re sure this place is secure.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAPPNuWzhXXn
131Please respect copyright.PENANAH0VwDZXHoc
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.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANA1cibZd9Rya
131Please respect copyright.PENANAU3PCZARgqP
Flamma: “Do any of you know of Void Magic?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAAayNILRxkR
131Please respect copyright.PENANAgaodozEeku
Dove: “Unless it has something to do with Sithis or Namira, gods forbid, then no.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAce19Pm7hMU
131Please respect copyright.PENANAK6eFxWM3uq
Tech: “It’s magic so no.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAOcTrHB27xK
131Please respect copyright.PENANA10886nmy0z
They look to Seista who’s blankly staring at Flamma.
131Please respect copyright.PENANAGdMHiD9jaP
131Please respect copyright.PENANAoBDQD3Yu6i
Flamma: “You know, don’t you?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAcf5QOJl7dn
131Please respect copyright.PENANARMyFgrAHSn
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-”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAz4r97XGdDG
131Please respect copyright.PENANAI7sCv5hT4E
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.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAFddRFwxUe9
131Please respect copyright.PENANAlJZHbBhDki
Dove: “Y-You’re surely joking.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAZF2ITn6qtl
131Please respect copyright.PENANAFomIlEESdV
Seista: “Is Miss Louise truly that powerful?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANANRV62qsjea
131Please respect copyright.PENANAODopCiUMda
Flamma: “She can be. That’s why I must stay with her. To protect her from people who may deceive and use her.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAbbJfQN8469
131Please respect copyright.PENANA22pse03P2k
Tech: “Ugh, I’m too tired for this crazy magical stuff. Debrief me later, I need some rest. But before I go, here.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAUetXSiXIz3
131Please respect copyright.PENANAvnfLXTBI02
Tech hands the three of them a steel rod with a blue slit down the center.
131Please respect copyright.PENANAXzDanRSbPX
131Please respect copyright.PENANADzIYdbQDS0
Dove: “I’d rather a sword.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANA4lNgrVL3On
131Please respect copyright.PENANApdvejePjVO
Before Flamma can quip herself, a thin sheet of harden light shot out from the side of the rod.
131Please respect copyright.PENANAWdpKMj1eMZ
131Please respect copyright.PENANAiKXR1IJVbv
Tech: “Information is the most powerful tool at our disposal, don’t waste it.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAppmuTfi1b4
131Please respect copyright.PENANA4xUNhqgmuy
Dove: “Why give us all of this information?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAFfzIN2VAmW
131Please respect copyright.PENANAM2IJWPTu7o
Tech: “So what I will do in future won’t fry your brains. I’ll plan on putting whatever your Dwemer did to shame.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAwILV8SOGi8
131Please respect copyright.PENANAwgNbx9Kryq
He winks before leaving for his own room to recover for the day. Meanwhile, the maid trio looked down at their data pads.
131Please respect copyright.PENANA6aCCrZUKjt
131Please respect copyright.PENANApL19DuRIck
Siesta: “How do we use this?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAQZbceSY8Hb
131Please respect copyright.PENANAtpV4IqbLG1
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.
131Please respect copyright.PENANAjliKAJBO4E
131Please respect copyright.PENANA7xzBWXJPm9
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.
131Please respect copyright.PENANAd2Z0s37LdL
131Please respect copyright.PENANALVNwjoN6SQ
Aeron: ‘Her value just went up. If I’m lucky, I may even be able to steal this Void Magic for myself. But first…’
131Please respect copyright.PENANAGruE6cDyKi
131Please respect copyright.PENANAU6PK2SSoWv
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.
131Please respect copyright.PENANA8TxeUePU4h
131Please respect copyright.PENANAs62tNKGDxe
Tech slumbed forward a bit but catching himself. He shook his head before regaining his footing.
131Please respect copyright.PENANA1cuWr45Jdm
131Please respect copyright.PENANABVz98BVoRP
Tech: “Whoa, I might need this more than I thought.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAwTxDTadZlo
131Please respect copyright.PENANAaxmPcGiBsf
Aeron: ‘That’s one threat dealt with.’
131Please respect copyright.PENANAOzBdHu7dbt
131Please respect copyright.PENANArJku0qGeSa
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.
131Please respect copyright.PENANAY7uMklxqhM
131Please respect copyright.PENANAzzgyUK0zVr
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.
131Please respect copyright.PENANAK9p6yjEQOR
131Please respect copyright.PENANAMpVp8m3XEz
Siesta: “Tech’s world is scary…”
131Please respect copyright.PENANA8aRRV1bpKZ
131Please respect copyright.PENANASg53Nxa5aR
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.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAlNd66cT6cD
131Please respect copyright.PENANANoSzY032qU
Dove: “The way they wage war doesn’t bother you?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAG4m2myMkvm
131Please respect copyright.PENANAR7iJkHa4b5
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.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAGIxRfuWCTN
131Please respect copyright.PENANAKp9yg2D1cY
Dove: ‘I wouldn’t want to fight hundreds of them though.’
131Please respect copyright.PENANAIos40Ewu5T
131Please respect copyright.PENANAfxS1JibMiE
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.
131Please respect copyright.PENANAthDZV0KGX8
131Please respect copyright.PENANAdNjrSzRqq4
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?
131Please respect copyright.PENANA9tB42Vfi1M
131Please respect copyright.PENANAA9G3QQy6D3
So many scenarios raced through her mind and it only worsen her feelings of helplessness. She trusted her dear friends but…
131Please respect copyright.PENANALrom0WwlK9
131Please respect copyright.PENANAQTFqwCQdv6
Flamma: “Siesta? You good?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAZe0sF1MziQ
131Please respect copyright.PENANA3sNyXJnWXu
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.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAdqLbIl174a
131Please respect copyright.PENANAGALT2HlyY3
Flamma: “Good idea, I need to get back to Louise too. What about you Dove?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAOx4ZpGXFTT
131Please respect copyright.PENANAWTyu8RWhpp
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.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAJms75U4Iiz
131Please respect copyright.PENANARGHx8xbrmk
Siesta: “…”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAcuc9Quk8aE
131Please respect copyright.PENANA4fGEgkfWz8
Flamma: “Alright, later Dove.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAdyWIJZnYl0
131Please respect copyright.PENANAdMMh70OsVY
When Flamma and Siesta left, Dove got on the bed and continued to scroll through the data pad. Her topic…new metals.
131Please respect copyright.PENANAvUg08oGFY4
131Please respect copyright.PENANAElFpC5WoLR
Raskreia: “Jake, you following me around is not going to make me go plane hopping faster.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAUi8TuXRASD
131Please respect copyright.PENANAm24bRjKUUD
Jake: “Would a blade to the neck help?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANADkOuClsbqF
131Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ycli3P9pW
Raskreia: “No, but you may try your luck if you want.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANA7a0nisoKku
131Please respect copyright.PENANAlV0IYmu3YP
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!
131Please respect copyright.PENANABA8Jsf4qWu
131Please respect copyright.PENANANP18E4Xk2R
Jake: “Ugh, makes me wish Guiche challenged me. At least I wouldn’t be so bored.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAxOVzR06Jdh
131Please respect copyright.PENANAHQisrroHfy
Jake: ‘You’re so lucky Zander is still around.’
131Please respect copyright.PENANAOCOYaVjBH3
131Please respect copyright.PENANAgcq4rVopRe
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.
131Please respect copyright.PENANASyIlNmsAtj
131Please respect copyright.PENANAP1hIjZsBEI
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.
131Please respect copyright.PENANAd0QOH9g6EE
131Please respect copyright.PENANADVKs47PXSY
Raskreia: “You could learn to socialize.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANA4REYzoWnbl
131Please respect copyright.PENANA6a8lMISScy
Jake: “…No.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANARrnjtDPvxZ
131Please respect copyright.PENANAJPEjghKPE5
She could only sigh at the kid’s hard exterior.
131Please respect copyright.PENANABJWLRiDQn5
131Please respect copyright.PENANAMBEtNbU79E
Raskreia: “Look, I’ll start looking after I talk with Flamma.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANA9sWDUuptWR
131Please respect copyright.PENANAjlCfK3ez9v
Jake: “Why? What’s so important?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAItabcIbm2C
131Please respect copyright.PENANAjsbLDSgiog
Raskreia: “Her true nature.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANA7GrMOYcyN4
131Please respect copyright.PENANAmU1l2VylkM
Jake: “A dragon or something right? What of it?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAs40GSA7sX8
131Please respect copyright.PENANA4CFvRIuzTJ
Raskreia: “I have a feeling there’s more to her.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANA531YRVPqVn
131Please respect copyright.PENANAHNVTGud3cq
Just then, the door to Tech’s base opened revealing Flamma and Siesta.
131Please respect copyright.PENANABhLHsevX03
131Please respect copyright.PENANAJVeroO3jH4
Raskreia: “Finally, hey Flam-”
131Please respect copyright.PENANA25qtuN4TUA
131Please respect copyright.PENANAzCZ1evS8Cv
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.
131Please respect copyright.PENANAnISTYyQU55
131Please respect copyright.PENANATOXJbN6EAn
When the flaming bullet hit the grass, everyone looked at Raskreia with a mix of confusion and outrage.
131Please respect copyright.PENANAeKnpqZLcoP
131Please respect copyright.PENANAnDW8EHUPNQ
Seista: “Ah!”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAqzbykvgLtw

Flamma: “The fuck was that?!”
131Please respect copyright.PENANALJQQAfatPU

Raskreia: “I sensed something.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAJ49x7saBSu

Flamma: “What? An enemy?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAEuaN9nK7XQ
131Please respect copyright.PENANAIRql0mRmOp
Raskreia: “I don’t know. It’s gone now but…it felt somewhat familiar. Like something from my world.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANA15TqPTXObZ
131Please respect copyright.PENANAbNHlL4HQmx
Siesta: “R-Really?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAYyxB8zGHXP
131Please respect copyright.PENANAVHugoRLrEl
Flamma: “I didn’t sense anything.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAcNK43wjKSp
131Please respect copyright.PENANAyAe1kA3NXb
Raskreia: “It’s okay, not everyone is as good as me at magical sensing.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAsuJWSg4hhs
131Please respect copyright.PENANA0UQVEhi1mX
Zander: “Is everything alright?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAfW6cABxmPk
131Please respect copyright.PENANAJLtdduqFoB
The girls turned to Zander and the ever present Kirche.
131Please respect copyright.PENANAwf2LNFKlwa
131Please respect copyright.PENANAhvVzX47SgX
Kirche: “I should have known one of Zero’s familiars to be crazy. I thought it would be boy though.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAL32u28tH7y
131Please respect copyright.PENANA1qSGiVFKFJ
Raskreia: “Watch it.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANA6BBlzLj8LY
131Please respect copyright.PENANAej7Jkm9X2h
Zander: “Be nice Kirche, I’m sure she noticed something we didn’t.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANANyGczJea1F
131Please respect copyright.PENANAQa9X0qsIo8
Kirche: “Something even you couldn’t sense?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAHtsb6XD8x3
131Please respect copyright.PENANAUBuSWRzUye
Zander: “I leave support roles to others. So, unfortunately, I’m not that good at healing or reconnaissance.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANA8mxcHPcmRl
131Please respect copyright.PENANAleUmLanJIv
Jake: “That’s good to know.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAlGolpIAg5x
131Please respect copyright.PENANAoDzQcU8cqR
Jake came up from behind and unlike everyone, he could see the snake making his escape.
131Please respect copyright.PENANA55UDrGmXQK
131Please respect copyright.PENANA8aGjQbffCr
Jake: ‘If she won’t help me, why should I?’
131Please respect copyright.PENANAljoxYfYKpm
131Please respect copyright.PENANAWv12SDAkYz
Jake: “Rask, call me when you have a lead before start I losing it.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAxMmD4m42VG
131Please respect copyright.PENANAoVuySjJb5l
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.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAiA6mMRyiIx
131Please respect copyright.PENANAUOiDe42mrZ
Zander: “Are you sure?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAmRwZzx1mDb
131Please respect copyright.PENANAVLKJCNILFa
Raskreia: “Yep. But enough of my blunder, Flamma, got a moment to talk?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAn4vzGAVr94
131Please respect copyright.PENANAUvDbBlPPGT
Flamma: “I’m on my way to Louise, we’ll talk on the way. See you tomorrow Siesta.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANA6uTLKEp8U1
131Please respect copyright.PENANAUC0LUhPPQQ
Siesta: “Have a good night Flamma.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAyuJRZYdu3i
131Please respect copyright.PENANAn945lpqnYY
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.
131Please respect copyright.PENANArBZvW7nzr1
131Please respect copyright.PENANAc4Tv0VgXIZ
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.
131Please respect copyright.PENANAPNDmAlTGG2
131Please respect copyright.PENANAPr2xQwYVAp
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.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAlf7XB3W07g
131Please respect copyright.PENANAowdQ7gof5f
Louise: “How dar-”
131Please respect copyright.PENANADbBUX37D34
131Please respect copyright.PENANAhtwKBeTifS
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.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAQcM1VP3SU5
131Please respect copyright.PENANArnJE8Qmuet
Louise: “But…how is this possible? Why are they two of me and why is she…like that?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAinfMPiStuR
131Please respect copyright.PENANAsQt7kVlBXK
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.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAx81azPZPDk
131Please respect copyright.PENANACX0NNAPRlE
Louise: “…Will she be fine?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAQUYO9QwNQH
131Please respect copyright.PENANAwGEipQgKWj
Bench: “She will be if I’m given enough time to work on her. Now, if you’ll excuse me.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAhRLhRfUbeb
131Please respect copyright.PENANAOJJpIYCKrH
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.
131Please respect copyright.PENANA9cnAk4QlhA
131Please respect copyright.PENANAYlO4UKZTFf
The thought of giving into the sensation…terrifiedher. She wanted…no…needed to escape this feeling.
131Please respect copyright.PENANAQHr8ct9XKL
131Please respect copyright.PENANAzoDINZiKRM
Louise: ‘Where’s Aeron when I need him? Learning a new spell should help get my mind off this…’
131Please respect copyright.PENANABKSjYX6f79
131Please respect copyright.PENANAXfcuq03ZWe
But instead of the dark star, the sun instead appeared before her.
131Please respect copyright.PENANAlOtcf0nMH3
131Please respect copyright.PENANAPw5rEgvZWt
Flamma: “Hey Louise, we were looking everywhere for you.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANA8XHww5rtkC
131Please respect copyright.PENANACvrns3SlI3
Louise: “Flamma!”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAdNLUIz1DEZ
131Please respect copyright.PENANAYQFKK1NS1z
Louise quickly regained herself and pushed down her unexpected excitement.
131Please respect copyright.PENANATMozPu5lST
131Please respect copyright.PENANAkHkdyP1mTN
Louise: “What are you doing here? Aren’t you suppose to be with Tech and the other maids?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANA5MLRbsaFUZ
131Please respect copyright.PENANATH8VZLpGc2
Flamma: “Jealous?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAxpYJMArhQe
131Please respect copyright.PENANA1bZxxAu7W8
Louise: “N-No. Get over yourself familiar!”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAJbLdLyiOZ5
131Please respect copyright.PENANA7B7w4kZeJE
Raskreia: “Oh, she got it bad huh? Understandable.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAIzu6Fjhj3E
131Please respect copyright.PENANAYazbDNyOnm
She whispers into Flamma’s ear.
131Please respect copyright.PENANAjClKtvmPNy
131Please respect copyright.PENANA3LHTiRgrRW
Flamma: “Shush you.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAuMzPDSsxZV
131Please respect copyright.PENANAOlv9pW3lms
Flamma: “Don’t worry master, I was just learning somethings from my friends. I won’t leave your side for anything less.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAzj5N0G49UI
131Please respect copyright.PENANA3Oe51cyxrU
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?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAyMpdue0Tw7
131Please respect copyright.PENANAQtrreBkW6g
Raskreia: “Buy me dinner first and maybe I’ll think about it.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAQk6na5PlLU
131Please respect copyright.PENANAqY2L6eAcpc
That got Louise to fume red while Flamma giggled at how adorable Louise can be.
131Please respect copyright.PENANAkRKGg6H9c3
131Please respect copyright.PENANAhn5wFFODlH
Raskreia: “Don’t be like that kid, I was just learning more about Flamma. Congrats by the way.”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAt9GKBE9Blo
131Please respect copyright.PENANAHPY5h94Eg1
Louise: “What are you talking about?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAORo7wumtom
131Please respect copyright.PENANAjEJix1VGHl
Raskreia: “You didn’t just bond with a dragon, but apparently one that was worshiped as a Goddess long ago. Nice job!”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAgSL8lcA0TT
131Please respect copyright.PENANANowGQRQ1Bj
Louise: “…Huh?”
131Please respect copyright.PENANAjEIu38dq1z
131Please respect copyright.PENANAZZZ99UWNjQ
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.
131Please respect copyright.PENANAboT4QMQJYr
131Please respect copyright.PENANA0jaxtysQx1
Raskeria alone may be his equal. That’s not even counting Zander and Flamma. But Jake is interesting…
131Please respect copyright.PENANAozJxXDLZNn
131Please respect copyright.PENANANzlj0bO1Nu
Aeron: ‘He noticed but didn’t do anything, interesting. Maybe he could be a good tool for later. Speaking of tools…’
131Please respect copyright.PENANAMY5lKN3Qfv
131Please respect copyright.PENANAnbnb2kpcwL
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.
131Please respect copyright.PENANAxfseHBijtI
131Please respect copyright.PENANAjxPUSrvM5m
Luckily for him, the pieces were already in place.
131Please respect copyright.PENANAgdn6EaiXiI
131Please respect copyright.PENANAj4nNbNYp1d
Guiche is probably bitter about his lose, a perfect mind to send over the edge.
131Please respect copyright.PENANAp5pCQkjnMp
131Please respect copyright.PENANABUT6MHEWfm
Siesta was alone and vulnerable, a useful pawn and possible ally depending on how he pulls this off.
131Please respect copyright.PENANAmeSQ3bLv2g
131Please respect copyright.PENANAEVXeMPe8KB
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.
131Please respect copyright.PENANA2CYCgLMSUt
131Please respect copyright.PENANATHQZkqeP35
Aeron casts alter self so he looks like Siesta before making his way to Guiche.
