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.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAf47apRLAPJ
223Please respect copyright.PENANAyc3E8Otxf5
Dove: “You’ll get used to it.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAjm0792t4wu
223Please respect copyright.PENANArGVSKLAbz5
Siesta: “The air too?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAn1948a18eq
223Please respect copyright.PENANAbU9gBGr2Qm
Dove: “Eventually.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAJdq9YR16uS
223Please respect copyright.PENANA1yO0CwweWK
Flamma: “I have to admit Tech, even I’m blown away by this.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAA6dlzKHw7J
223Please respect copyright.PENANAqwILbfntya
Tech: “This is nothing. I’ve upgraded things while Dove was away.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAPoEo1BlOUO
223Please respect copyright.PENANApwuHvOfRFi
Dove: “Raskreia did mention something but didn’t want to ruin the surprise.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAtWGZaBcYOx
223Please respect copyright.PENANAnqV0rUkwPE
Tech: “You’ll thank her later.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANANC34ukKK7c
223Please respect copyright.PENANAlAyK0107Zr
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.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAIuVLDBFTeQ
223Please respect copyright.PENANAeEcXn5SJQK
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.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAx19qUlR7Hd
223Please respect copyright.PENANAGu5RnaYAnN
To everyone but Dove, it was strange and alien.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAAUXiNyF99z
223Please respect copyright.PENANAXdqcIkWuYW
Dove: “You sure you’re not a Dwemer?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAi8kLzKUwuX
223Please respect copyright.PENANAlEJKxjINpx
Tech: “Really? They had stuff like this?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANACYbEHWPXgp
223Please respect copyright.PENANAPE3vwCdrPW
Dove: “Yes, we still have to fight them if we delve into their ruins.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAXI62HhQ3rX
223Please respect copyright.PENANAPEfFSmmCyu
Tech: “Interesting, shame I can’t meet them.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAs2DqChGi3R
223Please respect copyright.PENANAUub21MoioX
Siesta: “T-Tech, what is all of this?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAUuPeOY3uN2
223Please respect copyright.PENANAHCOjgE9pJk
Tech: “This…is the power of science. Something magic can’t replicate.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANA1W2vG76dhD
223Please respect copyright.PENANAki5kzAuQDH
Flamma: “Flying autonomous Golems Tech, not that impressive. Your speed in making them is, but still.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAjCL0uJug9a
223Please respect copyright.PENANAr0PPgGOxg0
Tech: “This is only the tip of the iceberg.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAANiNqBa7ox
223Please respect copyright.PENANAn7gVH0x86a
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.
223Please respect copyright.PENANATZhDuLA30O
223Please respect copyright.PENANAb2z3Pdy44M
Flamma: “Hey, are you okay?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5rlPDXH1a
223Please respect copyright.PENANADND1Xya5fC
Seista: “Oh no, did Guiche actually-”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAkrBB8bCO1L
223Please respect copyright.PENANAa0hz03ki1U
Tech: “Please, he couldn’t hurt me even if I let him. I just need some rest.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAm3bj2czCLy
223Please respect copyright.PENANAgrGeq10p0Q
Dove: “Still don’t want me to heal you?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANA6g739ONcE4
223Please respect copyright.PENANAzeTiXknDUe
Tech: “Nope.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANA1iadx8Zk76
223Please respect copyright.PENANAeeMQ6fQj0L
Dove: “Suit yourself.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANARJ1JjAGAww
223Please respect copyright.PENANAw4X4VoYBuB
Seista: “Please Tech, if you’re really not well then you should let Dove heal you.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAVUfhORlE0Q
223Please respect copyright.PENANAZRwKkefN26
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.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANA8zUqTkeotv
223Please respect copyright.PENANA8VwWDIk08s
Dove: “Already?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAtnmBp5l69q
223Please respect copyright.PENANAuzTACBDoBD
Tech: “Like I said, easy.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAJEmG4xXSpN
223Please respect copyright.PENANAj1cxfa67Rg
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.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAH3q43vfJ1u
223Please respect copyright.PENANAQElKsc2432
Tech: “So far I only made four. If the others want, and if they behave, I’ll make more.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAy4s8VocuKw
223Please respect copyright.PENANAxTOlBpBaas
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.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAh1rTn635NV
223Please respect copyright.PENANA9lwVqGhKjo
Tech: “If you have any requests then ask me or one of the machines floating around occasionally.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANA9UYo2KMZuG
223Please respect copyright.PENANAkjceutBtt9
Dove: “I like it, thanks Tech.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANADGKi0teYTX
223Please respect copyright.PENANAIEh0CoQz13
Siesta: “Is this really for us?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAjTcIenJGV2
223Please respect copyright.PENANA3JM4Owwae6
She says as she looks around the well-designed room. A room fit for a noble…
223Please respect copyright.PENANA0WFfxHUeGC
223Please respect copyright.PENANAxrBgjIEhTF
Tech: “It was a good design exercise, don’t look too deeply into it.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAu7o2hOebUq
223Please respect copyright.PENANA52YrRC90Aw
Flamma: “Softy.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAYrQeERcLBZ
223Please respect copyright.PENANArAkj5Qo4sA
Tech: “Shut it.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAHDbO5iWLvn
223Please respect copyright.PENANAPToriF60zL
Flamma: “Ha, jokes aside though, I have decline.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAN622UTUxiT
223Please respect copyright.PENANAib6cPScyew
Everyone stopped what they were doing and their eyes widen.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAcTa7zc2i9x
223Please respect copyright.PENANAlWdUa5rpKq
Tech: “Out of everyone, I was sure you would be the most grateful. You sleep on hay for goodness sake.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAPITqOAzpqc
223Please respect copyright.PENANAWB5oft1O52
Siesta: “Why Flamma?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAmMKKExvwkH
223Please respect copyright.PENANAeQEzBuvEDn
Flamma: “Don’t get me wrong, I like the design and will visit. But…I don’t want to leave Louise alone.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAqBW7y6wBp3
223Please respect copyright.PENANAi8POBINYVa
Tech: “Let me repeat myself, you sleep on hay woman. Accept the nice comfy bed, I won’t even ask for thanks.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAbXVNfponkN
223Please respect copyright.PENANAulxamAAPjF
Dove: “Does this have something to do with why you decided to be Louise’s familiar?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAqsF7sc8RZa
223Please respect copyright.PENANAqXMLxWD3ee
Tech: “And getting branded like an animal, I might add.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAj5LEDKLEyd
223Please respect copyright.PENANA232TZ7IxCf
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.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAxBpRENDpRh
223Please respect copyright.PENANAIIyuziPdID
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.
223Please respect copyright.PENANA9uA4bwhds7
223Please respect copyright.PENANAxOVc72uao5
Flamma: “Yeah, I’ll explain if you’re sure this place is secure.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAyzLzSymXO7
223Please respect copyright.PENANA5L5Wwxnocr
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.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAC0e0ctoN1L
223Please respect copyright.PENANAmwm0LzYKJo
Flamma: “Do any of you know of Void Magic?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAotDxEj1sTJ
223Please respect copyright.PENANANezBgBy89i
Dove: “Unless it has something to do with Sithis or Namira, gods forbid, then no.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAx0O5RnDjxz
223Please respect copyright.PENANABDRBOKnFqb
Tech: “It’s magic so no.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANALhXoPchFez
223Please respect copyright.PENANAlt3E7liyfP
They look to Seista who’s blankly staring at Flamma.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAdbvfavOu8V
223Please respect copyright.PENANADptTaQ7ox0
Flamma: “You know, don’t you?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAVK2wyfDghF
223Please respect copyright.PENANAonmqn9735q
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-”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAC2S1AjT4jn
223Please respect copyright.PENANAuZMt2fPeye
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.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAaYigfTE5eY
223Please respect copyright.PENANApRfu51uU6L
Dove: “Y-You’re surely joking.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAmWdpGSVNTq
223Please respect copyright.PENANAQgg3kfw10A
Seista: “Is Miss Louise truly that powerful?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAzHzekrGo8R
223Please respect copyright.PENANA2rvknJYNX3
Flamma: “She can be. That’s why I must stay with her. To protect her from people who may deceive and use her.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAG6bVp2k3QO
223Please respect copyright.PENANAGK9EmttPfh
Tech: “Ugh, I’m too tired for this crazy magical stuff. Debrief me later, I need some rest. But before I go, here.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANABLKQyYq3t0
223Please respect copyright.PENANAq4mHXmlRTD
Tech hands the three of them a steel rod with a blue slit down the center.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAVf8PUV7A5w
223Please respect copyright.PENANA8roUoifUUv
Dove: “I’d rather a sword.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAyL0F8pgkA2
223Please respect copyright.PENANApOEU1yZSns
Before Flamma can quip herself, a thin sheet of harden light shot out from the side of the rod.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAbIhJyXHSTi
223Please respect copyright.PENANAtfgNYDqfTC
Tech: “Information is the most powerful tool at our disposal, don’t waste it.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAUoXHkSB0Ze
223Please respect copyright.PENANAy9RR5OAHZa
Dove: “Why give us all of this information?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAdfYp7LsoAy
223Please respect copyright.PENANA2xVlfzC4mt
Tech: “So what I will do in future won’t fry your brains. I’ll plan on putting whatever your Dwemer did to shame.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAPfVSpFLBt6
223Please respect copyright.PENANAqmGEcLth5R
He winks before leaving for his own room to recover for the day. Meanwhile, the maid trio looked down at their data pads.
223Please respect copyright.PENANACqe8QZOVxK
223Please respect copyright.PENANA8L7D6GqH9i
Siesta: “How do we use this?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAMTJhT7tOOH
223Please respect copyright.PENANAU574y53g1L
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.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAd5NBcemU0m
223Please respect copyright.PENANAnue0f3r0JA
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.
223Please respect copyright.PENANANIlxXzZz46
223Please respect copyright.PENANADnX3Wnoo7k
Aeron: ‘Her value just went up. If I’m lucky, I may even be able to steal this Void Magic for myself. But first…’
223Please respect copyright.PENANAHAhJ2l8NY5
223Please respect copyright.PENANALKNgCbPBWH
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.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAJa4iK2RhAK
223Please respect copyright.PENANAHiXBF9EG9x
Tech slumbed forward a bit but catching himself. He shook his head before regaining his footing.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAAQozFo0cQX
223Please respect copyright.PENANAHw4QgxoKdG
Tech: “Whoa, I might need this more than I thought.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAkbgANAwRpp
223Please respect copyright.PENANAV3SypHZ344
Aeron: ‘That’s one threat dealt with.’
223Please respect copyright.PENANAeUOW1d69kN
223Please respect copyright.PENANAINgBIJKofP
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.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAFidMuGzxds
223Please respect copyright.PENANA85kntOQzOp
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.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAhaGqR6wkMj
223Please respect copyright.PENANAsm7C8mZQxg
Siesta: “Tech’s world is scary…”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAoEjPl8gaR7
223Please respect copyright.PENANAtg1WqViJVz
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.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAIbqXqwA05x
223Please respect copyright.PENANABp004MolRM
Dove: “The way they wage war doesn’t bother you?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAGlP9OsUWzQ
223Please respect copyright.PENANAEgMlYryYH4
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.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAMY2ecixoTX
223Please respect copyright.PENANADbc2hXXyLk
Dove: ‘I wouldn’t want to fight hundreds of them though.’
223Please respect copyright.PENANACRGBFDqFuw
223Please respect copyright.PENANAT543TeNoob
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.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAnN4SPBaMnP
223Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZFq0mzidN
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?
223Please respect copyright.PENANA0C27PKt49o
223Please respect copyright.PENANAubPsOD8TCl
So many scenarios raced through her mind and it only worsen her feelings of helplessness. She trusted her dear friends but…
223Please respect copyright.PENANAnxEZmEKpWV
223Please respect copyright.PENANAtsTVxX99dW
Flamma: “Siesta? You good?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAXndfYIbmWC
223Please respect copyright.PENANAiXtP4DsDhV
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.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANANyRp2k4lxB
223Please respect copyright.PENANA5Fq0nlCgEQ
Flamma: “Good idea, I need to get back to Louise too. What about you Dove?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANArETGsekXJ3
223Please respect copyright.PENANAWgC5hR6bBw
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.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANARoefxGSFkG
223Please respect copyright.PENANA0IZcPH4eNW
Siesta: “…”
223Please respect copyright.PENANA6UShxR5gRy
223Please respect copyright.PENANAdmKDjC7oKV
Flamma: “Alright, later Dove.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAXjg0v2s7gw
223Please respect copyright.PENANAG0K3lgPi3r
When Flamma and Siesta left, Dove got on the bed and continued to scroll through the data pad. Her topic…new metals.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAYjyI8T006a
223Please respect copyright.PENANAkcuDOMDgoF
Raskreia: “Jake, you following me around is not going to make me go plane hopping faster.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAZj3TZT3r6t
223Please respect copyright.PENANAu3WBPMrfQ2
Jake: “Would a blade to the neck help?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANArXgzd8EOvA
223Please respect copyright.PENANAPlEenTLai9
Raskreia: “No, but you may try your luck if you want.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANA3FkgTYqsqk
223Please respect copyright.PENANAGidVG6RWCd
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!
223Please respect copyright.PENANAOLI3A0NXD4
223Please respect copyright.PENANAUbobI92BiE
Jake: “Ugh, makes me wish Guiche challenged me. At least I wouldn’t be so bored.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAebgxTGGYO4
223Please respect copyright.PENANA6yPgkZlmnN
Jake: ‘You’re so lucky Zander is still around.’
223Please respect copyright.PENANAhlBFgBkZPA
223Please respect copyright.PENANAM1NWpAACG8
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.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAjUPnP9zyZJ
223Please respect copyright.PENANAG7KM45OEe9
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.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAbAx1yfdEwI
223Please respect copyright.PENANA4Unz4iryD8
Raskreia: “You could learn to socialize.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANALFXgbHRhbM
223Please respect copyright.PENANADozDZPGkLM
Jake: “…No.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAtzuVZb6aOx
223Please respect copyright.PENANApO22ci6dSS
She could only sigh at the kid’s hard exterior.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAcsFe6uaBFM
223Please respect copyright.PENANAtE8Pjzmped
Raskreia: “Look, I’ll start looking after I talk with Flamma.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANALR9klPGWkI
223Please respect copyright.PENANAZV2CM4eSAa
Jake: “Why? What’s so important?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAVb7iYbkO8m
223Please respect copyright.PENANA6JEm8GRe1F
Raskreia: “Her true nature.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAfSKfu0TcyH
223Please respect copyright.PENANAPDEvtNtA6f
Jake: “A dragon or something right? What of it?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAYmTz1c7mPj
223Please respect copyright.PENANAnPLh2Nxvdr
Raskreia: “I have a feeling there’s more to her.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAsH3TIZv378
223Please respect copyright.PENANAj3fDuMyjKh
Just then, the door to Tech’s base opened revealing Flamma and Siesta.
223Please respect copyright.PENANA2oOONybim0
223Please respect copyright.PENANACoYZ1nPZCf
Raskreia: “Finally, hey Flam-”
223Please respect copyright.PENANA93jjlqm80O
223Please respect copyright.PENANAPv5NfVHGNn
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.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAr7uuxBckta
223Please respect copyright.PENANASlZ6ent0s4
When the flaming bullet hit the grass, everyone looked at Raskreia with a mix of confusion and outrage.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAgyh7aUxkRG
223Please respect copyright.PENANAU8YtFeeYiU
Seista: “Ah!”
223Please respect copyright.PENANA2I55IbddPZ
223Please respect copyright.PENANAc3jOUmBjrW
Flamma: “The fuck was that?!”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAPyVp0EONRp
223Please respect copyright.PENANAbwSg90d3cI
Raskreia: “I sensed something.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAEOaUEQac8d
223Please respect copyright.PENANAAceUEiFXXY
Flamma: “What? An enemy?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAKhpNjY415C
223Please respect copyright.PENANAfmajclwlMT
Raskreia: “I don’t know. It’s gone now but…it felt somewhat familiar. Like something from my world.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAyllZGhrNDl
223Please respect copyright.PENANAR9aALP8gLg
Siesta: “R-Really?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANARfiLVE9MD3
223Please respect copyright.PENANAvuq5t48lQg
Flamma: “I didn’t sense anything.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAowB1jL8e4d
223Please respect copyright.PENANAuM3b2LBYuY
Raskreia: “It’s okay, not everyone is as good as me at magical sensing.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANA6QPipcPmI7
223Please respect copyright.PENANAnKETjrBMWZ
Zander: “Is everything alright?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANATkEEmP85dz
223Please respect copyright.PENANAmG90Kb7kzK
The girls turned to Zander and the ever present Kirche.
223Please respect copyright.PENANA6iHj7cWN9D
223Please respect copyright.PENANAOifUr4vQkQ
Kirche: “I should have known one of Zero’s familiars to be crazy. I thought it would be boy though.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAm9O5NFhgIE
223Please respect copyright.PENANAhjM4vHvqx2
Raskreia: “Watch it.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAfOPK8loL6z
223Please respect copyright.PENANA6AjintfJSy
Zander: “Be nice Kirche, I’m sure she noticed something we didn’t.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAB2mUjaxFPF
223Please respect copyright.PENANA0a67iG5bDF
Kirche: “Something even you couldn’t sense?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAeyCtUun8ai
223Please respect copyright.PENANAEK6fbVFVoi
Zander: “I leave support roles to others. So, unfortunately, I’m not that good at healing or reconnaissance.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAReDVvLHrZn
223Please respect copyright.PENANAerlTUEjWEl
Jake: “That’s good to know.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAXQM0j7eEFx
223Please respect copyright.PENANAGaDdx3POQI
Jake came up from behind and unlike everyone, he could see the snake making his escape.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAjwu6tnO5Fn
223Please respect copyright.PENANAzsR5pX5U5I
Jake: ‘If she won’t help me, why should I?’
223Please respect copyright.PENANAcoXbz9GUBb
223Please respect copyright.PENANA2Qont0jFMN
Jake: “Rask, call me when you have a lead before start I losing it.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANATDUVAwUWD6

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.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAwNiUIcnyLw
223Please respect copyright.PENANAo67hJfZx6z
Zander: “Are you sure?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANA5d6W4vGKZM
223Please respect copyright.PENANAoiyhv7cxzY
Raskreia: “Yep. But enough of my blunder, Flamma, got a moment to talk?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAwY6DybI2Cl
223Please respect copyright.PENANAihCIKNFGTj
Flamma: “I’m on my way to Louise, we’ll talk on the way. See you tomorrow Siesta.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAC4UJgjvPHc
223Please respect copyright.PENANA9g0gWuUU1g
Siesta: “Have a good night Flamma.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAF4pzOeUNoP
223Please respect copyright.PENANAXttKu0ap5s
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.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAaUZAGlYP0Z
223Please respect copyright.PENANAPIofeSIZCK
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.
223Please respect copyright.PENANA1DPXaN5eKz
223Please respect copyright.PENANAZVJ3nO3Owz
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.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAl0MQMwL752
223Please respect copyright.PENANAwYqeA2fBPa
Louise: “How dar-”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAXuTa7smEjM
223Please respect copyright.PENANAyvshgDyQXJ
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.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAS5qZfTPTSo
223Please respect copyright.PENANANsEQ9nHn4M
Louise: “But…how is this possible? Why are they two of me and why is she…like that?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAQJyP9yejOc
223Please respect copyright.PENANAZevTTerA5g
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.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANA0gxKDsh0Ca
223Please respect copyright.PENANApzGMgcsZtC
Louise: “…Will she be fine?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAzSkuSUkora
223Please respect copyright.PENANAPZYxfhgK7B
Bench: “She will be if I’m given enough time to work on her. Now, if you’ll excuse me.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAHjhi0lLiul
223Please respect copyright.PENANA5Udm8bFMpz
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.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAinNDrcaoe6
223Please respect copyright.PENANADRRdUu9rek
The thought of giving into the sensation…terrifiedher. She wanted…no…needed to escape this feeling.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAwW9Z1a4WSr
223Please respect copyright.PENANAycYhRHki0i
Louise: ‘Where’s Aeron when I need him? Learning a new spell should help get my mind off this…’
223Please respect copyright.PENANAjcPpgOkrlc
223Please respect copyright.PENANAu79zjAxBwQ
But instead of the dark star, the sun instead appeared before her.
223Please respect copyright.PENANA64kN3WjoOt
223Please respect copyright.PENANAWBSiCqEnjD
Flamma: “Hey Louise, we were looking everywhere for you.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANA8oxa4f1DPM
223Please respect copyright.PENANAxYlU9brzEb
Louise: “Flamma!”
223Please respect copyright.PENANANoUbwu24nK
223Please respect copyright.PENANAEsQ9nqEKAm
Louise quickly regained herself and pushed down her unexpected excitement.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAsvuUCpbAeG
223Please respect copyright.PENANAR4DGzHWtV4
Louise: “What are you doing here? Aren’t you suppose to be with Tech and the other maids?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAuO6YlTj5yQ
223Please respect copyright.PENANAdc8F8W5OGO
Flamma: “Jealous?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAH35NWsyqjR
223Please respect copyright.PENANAMwn3LQKKi8
Louise: “N-No. Get over yourself familiar!”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAhjp4tACQqR
223Please respect copyright.PENANADtU2FEhHVp
Raskreia: “Oh, she got it bad huh? Understandable.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAqKq4A7TQdC
223Please respect copyright.PENANAFV2Wa9TA0Z
She whispers into Flamma’s ear.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAvP9P7cvNSk
223Please respect copyright.PENANAktHOghYGlH
Flamma: “Shush you.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAowepUDY7BR
223Please respect copyright.PENANASyt4lUUkMu
Flamma: “Don’t worry master, I was just learning somethings from my friends. I won’t leave your side for anything less.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAOcr3Go8AcJ
223Please respect copyright.PENANA1mHeZdyhsy
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?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANA8g2Het1uB9
223Please respect copyright.PENANA7Tl6d0qISU
Raskreia: “Buy me dinner first and maybe I’ll think about it.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAbwzZ95Xayk
223Please respect copyright.PENANAzNtnbkEoOF
That got Louise to fume red while Flamma giggled at how adorable Louise can be.
223Please respect copyright.PENANACD0tt6vO5F
223Please respect copyright.PENANAewKyHXY13J
Raskreia: “Don’t be like that kid, I was just learning more about Flamma. Congrats by the way.”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAnV4DxbKb78
223Please respect copyright.PENANAbsd1srslkA
Louise: “What are you talking about?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANA2JG2Qe1NBT
223Please respect copyright.PENANAmoD1q7xUSy
Raskreia: “You didn’t just bond with a dragon, but apparently one that was worshiped as a Goddess long ago. Nice job!”
223Please respect copyright.PENANArM2nOHzvDq
223Please respect copyright.PENANAMpuXE7QU9z
Louise: “…Huh?”
223Please respect copyright.PENANAfw3OMgGSHN
223Please respect copyright.PENANA6mL9qxVQ23
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.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAGLYQVowOtw
223Please respect copyright.PENANAqMIO6zWF5z
Raskeria alone may be his equal. That’s not even counting Zander and Flamma. But Jake is interesting…
223Please respect copyright.PENANAcV8G5txeXc
223Please respect copyright.PENANAjAngHIBFaW
Aeron: ‘He noticed but didn’t do anything, interesting. Maybe he could be a good tool for later. Speaking of tools…’
223Please respect copyright.PENANADlfXREKtnF
223Please respect copyright.PENANAzcSFyA2pUv
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.
223Please respect copyright.PENANACb95uP7fS5
223Please respect copyright.PENANAeXUPNtoZVr
Luckily for him, the pieces were already in place.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAzTcEgFrCWc
223Please respect copyright.PENANAUWwj1nm3tv
Guiche is probably bitter about his lose, a perfect mind to send over the edge.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAjdXr54rJD7
223Please respect copyright.PENANAd6Ypq7rYYf
Siesta was alone and vulnerable, a useful pawn and possible ally depending on how he pulls this off.
223Please respect copyright.PENANA9Wi3exgVFJ
223Please respect copyright.PENANAQjBw0uRceY
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.
223Please respect copyright.PENANAMwuyQzKjvf
223Please respect copyright.PENANAUkfj8S8hCW
Aeron casts alter self so he looks like Siesta before making his way to Guiche.
