Raskreia: “You don’t say? Makes me wish that I stayed.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA5OEMF1xn9Q
188Please respect copyright.PENANAi8Dp0jVjNS
For the last ten minutes, the courtyard tried to go back to some normalcy. As for Raskreia, she was sitting with Zander, Kirche, Tabitha, and surprisingly Jake.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA1kGow68uQE
188Please respect copyright.PENANAedKcWR6HIq
He immediately jumped off his tree when he saw Raskreia appear. But before she can help him, she needed to know what the heck happened. Zander took up the task of explaining things to her.
188Please respect copyright.PENANARYCElNtBh1
188Please respect copyright.PENANAoC7NUJS8h9
Zander: “I have a feeling things would have escalated even further if you were there.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA6jyMRZNbhO
188Please respect copyright.PENANAYYOyj3hNLK
Raskreia: “Ha, you’re probably right.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAgPpWxQTacq
188Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6qnnEbd4C
Jake: “Alright! You’re done with the recap and learning who those 2 are. Can you help me get back home now?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAAQULItksKo
188Please respect copyright.PENANATyw4GzZ7pl
Raskreia: “Sure kid. What’s you’re world like?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAenX3KINxZQ
188Please respect copyright.PENANAUyTGTQLHef
So Jake did. Not everything, but enough for Raskreia to get a good sense of earth. He refused to answer any of the questions Kirche may have had. He just wanted to get this done as quickly as possible. Raskreia did enjoy Kirche and Tabitha’s shocked expressions though.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAg7Tb4jOzUY
188Please respect copyright.PENANAOf6UdtYQj0
Raskreia: “Well, I didn’t expect that. Considering your powers, I was sure your world would have been some, no offensive, hellscape.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAOeL5xF7uRK
188Please respect copyright.PENANASnYLgjQ38L
Jake: “I’m not the norm and I didn’t…ask for these abilities.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA6yxlXw4qGU
188Please respect copyright.PENANA9A9zskTfb8
Raskreia: “…Understood. Well, your world does sound interesting. I can probably find it by asking around and using gate to move the possible candidates. But the time frame is still the same. You’re okay with that right?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANABZhhrhYKbY
188Please respect copyright.PENANAntfxbv8mMn
Jake: “…Yes.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANABrNuepenTu
188Please respect copyright.PENANAvGhhgha1IC
He says that he is boiling inside. If it wasn’t for Zander, he might rampaged to let off some steam. Jake ponders what he should do in the meantime.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAsEWMV2Ujcr
188Please respect copyright.PENANAekhipE4ZVd
Blackwatch was still alive. The virus was still alive. But Aunt Dana was also still alive. She’s smart so she could hack any system and expose Blackwatch and Gentek for their little dirty deeds.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAy1DqryTMzq
188Please respect copyright.PENANAnyzFu3XLnl
Jake: ‘On the other hand, she could be found and killed…’
188Please respect copyright.PENANAE5UvGzUnV9
188Please respect copyright.PENANA5LyHWzO4IO
Jake: “Damn it…”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAV0QJv9hhHa
188Please respect copyright.PENANAf11LbsgnIK
He whispered his frustrations as the situation further set in. Jake wanted to kill those bastards for the people of New York. For the things they did. But most of all…for his parents. Yet he’s stuck here until this woman finds his world.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAwpxUnhJq2Z
188Please respect copyright.PENANA7W9UcNXspX
A strange sensation snapped Jake out of his mind. A warm and gentle feeling at his sides.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAQx3HXAcsJA
188Please respect copyright.PENANAo0Gpbjr0WF
Raskeria: “Awwww.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAYxwpCcENpt
188Please respect copyright.PENANAFJRBzE1uPN
Jake looks down to see Sylphid…nuzzling him. Sylphid began purring, in an attempt to soothe Jake.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAAP8w1zbSvL
188Please respect copyright.PENANAaPnmwxxiZI
Jake: “What…is this thing doing?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAY0D4ArzhzL
188Please respect copyright.PENANA4QSLLBqL8e
Raskeria: “I think she likes you.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANADblsDEZE92
188Please respect copyright.PENANAN5ZztwIEuT
Jake: “Make it stop or I’ll make it stop.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAf7dHnEjGKk
188Please respect copyright.PENANAVyu3C44NC6
Zander: “Jake, Sylphid is not trying to attack you so there’s no need for that.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAlUIJ370tzx
188Please respect copyright.PENANA1jHNoHRoGw
Jake: “I don’t care.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANATX1ad9b46G
188Please respect copyright.PENANAKHFAyFrLta
Jake got out of his chair and moved away from Sylphid. Sylphid didn’t follow but did look at Jake with…sympathy.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAgtXSxderWA
188Please respect copyright.PENANATpd3Wazfpm
Jake: ‘Monsters don’t comfort and they definitely don’t need sympathy.’
188Please respect copyright.PENANAKHZA5gPyez
188Please respect copyright.PENANAfzZl7SSIYL
Jake: “Keep that dragon away from me. When you get a lead on my world, contact me so I can go with you. Even if it’s a false lead, it might have something for me to kill.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA53nzf4KnSp
188Please respect copyright.PENANAANFQKVSTzF
Jake gave a dangerous glare at Slyphid before going back into the forest.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA5I6uDtJjir
188Please respect copyright.PENANAJcN4BztLcm
Raskeria: “Tabitha, you’re dragon is cute but she might also be suicidal if she wants to cuddle up with Jake.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAaRxILJPw5J
188Please respect copyright.PENANA9K0W05bHCL
Tabitha said nothing but took the statement into consideration. Slyphid interest in Jake is definitely strange.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAATz0LrJn5O
188Please respect copyright.PENANA8XB4PHnDXJ
Raskeria: “Well, before I go on that realm hunt I better get used to this place. Maybe meet up with the rest of the group. I’m really interested in meeting this Tech kid.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA6GTT9OP7BF
188Please respect copyright.PENANAe8sQ4Oj9oX
Raskeria left the group and started exploring the academy. As for Zander, he still has to deal with Kirche.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAuKF2zRx32X
188Please respect copyright.PENANAk4ktMSAeBG
Kirche: “Now, where were we?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAU6PpjXBYMK
188Please respect copyright.PENANAcj6S0E9AG9
She says while pressing her best assets against Zander.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAz0qAW64Zqd
188Please respect copyright.PENANAqaT4TmMnIO
Zander sighs before answering her.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAkh3XPBmX0I
188Please respect copyright.PENANAwaDTTnz2kg
Zander: “Miss Zerbst, I’d appreciate my arm back.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANADCO56WL0QA
188Please respect copyright.PENANAz6eEO8Lsli
Kirche blinked when Zander removed his hand from between her great valleys. But Kirche won’t give up that easily. She curled her hair with her fingers, angling her body in a way that showed off her chest.
188Please respect copyright.PENANALVwObh72Yn
188Please respect copyright.PENANAjZAGMJhNPB
Kirche: “Of course. My mistake. They say my family is the passionate kind. Burning hot, like the fires of the sun. Forgive me for my moments of…uncontrollable need. I will do my best to restrain myself around you. Until of course, you say otherwise.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAhGlqwaadSU
188Please respect copyright.PENANAvPVH23qzx2
Zander: “Forgiven. Now if you’ll excuse me, I probably should check in with my own realm. I’m Raskeria and the others can handle Jake if he acts up.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAXhRaX3llHi
188Please respect copyright.PENANAbLswM0ebS3
Kirche: “So you have gate spell just that woman? When will you be back?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAkMFvo0bd7f
188Please respect copyright.PENANA0hxrZzWtcg
Zander: “I’ll be back by tomorrow. I don’t want to miss the big fight.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANALouOqjXih6
188Please respect copyright.PENANAVSw2Afn6I1
Zander gestured with his hand, warping space around his fingers. Kirche and even Tabitha were awe-struck by the portal. Non-euclidean shapes appeared within the warped space where light failed to penetrate.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAsbAxVOxRRp
188Please respect copyright.PENANAiHEUTWR21H
Zander stepped through the warp, disappearing completely into murky shadows. They seemed to grow within themselves like monsters trapped beyond a mirror.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAO6R4ZdrtVz
188Please respect copyright.PENANANznhnQjIsA
Kirche: “Haaa, Tabitha I think I’m in love.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAkCqAZNJIpT
188Please respect copyright.PENANADxxpzHqHmC
Tech: “So you’re the one who accepted the familiar thing?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAI4pCIumpHh
188Please respect copyright.PENANAJVRwXjBCTH
Tech just finished his repairs and fixed the glitches he experienced outside. Right now, he and the maid trio are in the nurse’s office. Tech is on the bed while the 3 girls are sitting around him. Only Siesta seemed shocked by the nature of his repairs.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA0kocIVgmoE

188Please respect copyright.PENANAcXrZMmhrWt
188Please respect copyright.PENANA5jNubROjMA
While they debate over the ethics of the familiar system, Siesta is filled with worrying thoughts. She’s overjoyed that she made friends who are willing to fight for her.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAAMoTd2nnKp
188Please respect copyright.PENANA9h9cCtSOyi
But she is also terrified for them. If they died for her…
188Please respect copyright.PENANABJ9qREdw4g
188Please respect copyright.PENANA6JuhR8CXA6
Siesta: “You shouldn’t have done that.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAWhltAhEEW2

She says softly but it still got the three to pay attention.

Dove: “Do what?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAwmJnb4nZuQ

Siesta: “Accepted Guiche’s challenge! It’s too dangerous!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAgxtwH12Igt

Siesta: “But…”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAQks6ln7qUg

Flamma put her hand on Siesta’s shoulder and smiled softly.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAsaFH1GGg3Z
188Please respect copyright.PENANAy3txg56u53
Flamma: “Trust us Siesta. You’ll be pleasantly surprised if you do.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAfzqesfltoF
188Please respect copyright.PENANAdDwJRFn2a5
Siesta looked at her friends and could almost cry. They had no fear, only confidence that the fight could only end in one way. Victory.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAKSkHQ7sDXB
188Please respect copyright.PENANAwRdOtYSLZA
Siesta: “Okay, I trust you.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAObV4C0PG6z

What else could she say in front of that?
188Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZNQc86jUL

Tech: “Probably somewhere with enough room. Probably one of the courtyards.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANABzgEgFEiN3
188Please respect copyright.PENANAlA46ZVQNzg
Siesta: “Then may I suggest Vestail Courtyard. That section of the outside area should be big enough and close to where you’ll…fight Lord Guiche.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAgSv0ml7AjW
188Please respect copyright.PENANAGIBWTtz25q

Louise would have gone crazy from the boredom and maybe anger at her double. But her thoughts were on what her familiar told her.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAjrZl7Rb96f
188Please respect copyright.PENANAlihMmWvo14
Louise: ‘Otherworlds. Metal monsters. Wandless magic. It’s all so much to take in. I wouldn’t have even believed it if I wasn’t there for some of it. And I have a feeling it’s only getting to get more crazy.’
188Please respect copyright.PENANA5s0fSpgjql
188Please respect copyright.PENANAErhKMfBgtU
Louise laid down after eating her food delivered by her familiar and a maid. But she still barely had the energy to move.
188Please respect copyright.PENANABn01TNMtXk
188Please respect copyright.PENANALFq3WA3RNe
Louise: “Argh! When I get my hands on that faker, I’ll tear her apart! I hate being stuck like this!”

“Ooooone of theeem.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAYgeuJEmb0c
188Please respect copyright.PENANAOHS6gW4QyV
A white snake slithered out of the darkness of the room and raised it’s head so Louise can see it.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAXQ8OKXQFm9
188Please respect copyright.PENANAzMFxSePELE
Louise: “Are you…like that dragon? How can you talk?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAl1q59kvaQo

“My former masssster taught me to ssspeak.”

Louise: “Great, so I stole a familiar from a noble…”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAIEG8MLu3Qm
188Please respect copyright.PENANAXwclgazE8q
Louise: ‘I should be glad that I have Flamma as familiar but I’m not. She’s just a commoner. This snake could have worked but he’s already taken…’
188Please respect copyright.PENANALXzMzPQMWr
188Please respect copyright.PENANAjSRIl6kj12
“Dooont’ worrrry, my masssster died a long time ago.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAjdfSaQrWPt
188Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ggfrq1uE6
That put some hope in Louise’s eyes. Maybe she can make this snake her familiar. Much better than that commoner.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAfRVeC4XZEU
188Please respect copyright.PENANA6uOEZItPzX
Louise: “Then…will be my familiar?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAXQCSVUId0G
188Please respect copyright.PENANAZmu2M7CQLW
For a while, there was nothing but silence. Louise was about to decide between forcing the matter or crying. Instead, the snake asked a question.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAqpYHKthZzD
188Please respect copyright.PENANAGKhd2nWe8D
“Do you haaaave the streength?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAa7TqPv8Rlm

188Please respect copyright.PENANA5zj3y3ovnl

What seemed like a smirk flashed on the snake’s face.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAQURY0BUY8F

188Please respect copyright.PENANAnTdpi0IpWj
188Please respect copyright.PENANA4uCBh99ZnM
The snake did as he was asked. Louise used some of her remaining strength to sit up and take her wand from the snake’s mouth. The snake then laid on her bed, awaiting Louise’s next action.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA4X2cKlkN0r
188Please respect copyright.PENANAoIP7pyoCCY

188Please respect copyright.PENANAHRLJEt7eZT
188Please respect copyright.PENANAswr2XfqsdR
Louise smiled and placed her wand on the snake’s forehead before chanting.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAlEvadh0fio
188Please respect copyright.PENANACVKhogKLYF
Louise: “My name is Louise Francoise le Blanc de la Valliere, Pentagon of the Five Elemental Powers. Bless this humble being, and make her my familiar.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANADHZxeXndxr
188Please respect copyright.PENANAM8s5wyZ2mQ
After chanting, she removed her wand from his forehead and stretched forward to kiss him.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAQk08RX8sje
188Please respect copyright.PENANA0lhKBzOVVp
After a few moments, a new and different brand appears on the snake.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAxDZPmQs0Uy
188Please respect copyright.PENANAEap4HtBJPw
Louise: “Now you’re my familiar. I’m the only one in the world with two. Soon, I’ll be the only one with seven.”

Louise expected to fall right to sleep after performing another ritual, but instead, she feels fine. Better than fine actually. Almost normal.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA19Zbu4NlC2

188Please respect copyright.PENANAGfAV5bLelr
188Please respect copyright.PENANAtg4rCxhi3n
Aeron: "I know a LOT about magic, I have asssisssted my former massster and learned the arcane artsss over the yearsss, if you wisssh…I could teach you."
188Please respect copyright.PENANAAIJf9eD07t
188Please respect copyright.PENANANeIaoc9oE4
Louise was stunned, the possibility that an animal could learn magic was preposterous. Magic was Brimir’s gift to humans, not animals. That dragon was from another world so she didn’t count but this snake…
188Please respect copyright.PENANAirlPbMv6H0

A flash of light illuminated the room as the spell did its job. Louise blinked, her familiar spoke something, and then the world went white.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAWgguuNfAS8

Aeron: "Ah, you're still awake, perfect"
188Please respect copyright.PENANATPODK9xbC7
188Please respect copyright.PENANA42lB7PWBhG
She didn't hear the voice as much as she felt it in her mind. The girl looked at her surroundings...and spotted Aeron, but he was different. The snake was bigger than she remembered, in fact, it was bigger than she was.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAS3AVGBtfA6

Louise: "W-What happened?"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAB7H5fzexud
188Please respect copyright.PENANAVn48LDnvjE
Is what she wanted to say but instead only made a Ribbit-Ribbit sound. Looking over the room it seemed larger, that is until she spotted her reflection in the big mirror.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAaUjiaTGAn1
188Please respect copyright.PENANA2SUWj7UiOg
Where she was supposed to be, was now a toad standing beside Aeron. She would have screamed but only more strange noises emerged.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAVp1MRX4Esr
188Please respect copyright.PENANAEBtZfOJmzi
Louise: ‘W-What h-happened to me? Is this a dream? Y-Yes, a nightmare, it has to be a nightmare, I will wake up and all will be fine. Flamma will be next to my bed like this morning. She’ll probably have a crazy new story for me to listen to while I eat.’
188Please respect copyright.PENANA4BaksPJD1G
188Please respect copyright.PENANAnyDV9NhDDv
Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard Aeron laugh.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAaqm9ycX4FK
188Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZKLN5marV
Aeron: "Sss-sss-sss-sss, thisss isss no dream little one, thisss isss asss real asss it getsss. Asss to what happened, I turned you into a toad, and a toad you ssshall remain."
188Please respect copyright.PENANA0twnczEbpI
188Please respect copyright.PENANAwzDniDHYJN
Louise: ‘Why?!’
188Please respect copyright.PENANAjF0KJrfliq
188Please respect copyright.PENANAFfjSfushTL
She tries to ask with her mouth but only animals escape it.
188Please respect copyright.PENANANCfDrqljqv
188Please respect copyright.PENANAHJ8LOTAwai
Aeron: "Don't try to talk, you can't ssspeak in your form. Itsss enough to think what you want to asssk. I’ll read it from your mind that way. Asss to why, I wasss hoping to teach you real magic, not the parlor tricksss your peers perform. Sssadly it ssseamsss I misssjudged you and ssso I'm now finishing lossse endesss.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAtVvGalOEUw
188Please respect copyright.PENANAktX9VXc4xP
Louise: ‘I will learn! I will learn! Please just turn me back!’
188Please respect copyright.PENANANQqOxeIEHx
188Please respect copyright.PENANAO3vM55lNdt
Aeron: "I don't think you can, magic demandsss an open mind and a lot of concentration. You on the other hand are impulsssive and narrow-minded. I'm an excellent teacher, but even I have my doubtsss that my knowledge would pierce all of the falssse information that you were indoctrinated with. No, you will remain like this until you die."
188Please respect copyright.PENANAfpuLNPKXCE
188Please respect copyright.PENANAG9jbpmc1nC
Louise: ‘I command you to turn me back familiar!’
188Please respect copyright.PENANATVJHdGG4eg
188Please respect copyright.PENANAnOAONe4bIG
Aeron: "You command me? The lassst entity who wanted to command me wasss a Merilith, a demonic general. You ssshould have ssseen the demons ssshock when I captured her, even now asss we ssspeak ssshe isss imprisssoned in my pocket realm, sssubjected to torture that would make Asssmodeusss proud. Itsss not easssy to break a demonsss ssspirit, but I will find a way, I have time. Ssso tell me massster, why ssshould I lisssten to you?"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAFHYQOqEYgi
188Please respect copyright.PENANAQZtHPKFAUe
Louise: ‘Because...you're my familiar?’
188Please respect copyright.PENANAq2dmtxrVW4
188Please respect copyright.PENANARgd4hUgHva
Aeron: "Goodbye little one"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAUPU2cCb6jo
188Please respect copyright.PENANAuV7yt2pXh2
Aeron changed his shape back into his human form and started to meld into the shadow of the room.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA5AglbEmQ2m
188Please respect copyright.PENANASTem7co5cz
Seeing that Louise began to panic. She had to convince him to turn her back, but how? She could not command him to do it, what else is there?
188Please respect copyright.PENANAwkFZtzfxei
188Please respect copyright.PENANAiyzeNuFDVm
Louise: ‘Wait! You are presuming that I would not learn because of my prejudices, is that not the same for you? You told me basically that I should not judge blindly, so why not give me a chance to prove that I can learn?’
188Please respect copyright.PENANAvxf5Xxm29u
188Please respect copyright.PENANAfmSAhNWZ90
Nothing, no reply came to her desperate plea. She collapsed on the bed, too tired to do anything. Her life is really finished. As cold reality starts to set in, Louise’s mind drifts to Flamma, her first familiar.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAYEQ0a3BjnY
188Please respect copyright.PENANASFesXBYAvD
She doesn’t know why Flamma came to her mind. She didn’t know her that long. But…her presence was comforting. She accepted her when all other familiars rejected her. She brought her food when she was weak and even stayed by her side until her duties as a maid called for her.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA4mWnZMKsRq
188Please respect copyright.PENANACxpqfNbbyq
But now? Even she wouldn’t want to be a familiar to a frog. Flamma won’t grace her with that sweet smile she gave while she told her story anymore.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAYrGScHJFAm
188Please respect copyright.PENANAcTcJhPbgxu
Before despair fully broke her, she heard laughter coming from the darkness that surrounded her.
188Please respect copyright.PENANANnUiWj5ILZ
188Please respect copyright.PENANAOggLRkPsIg
Aeron: “Hahahaha, how amusing. Indeed you are learning. Threats and begging for mercy never pay off. The best option is to bring your foe to see things your way. Though we will have to work on your persuasion skills, they are somewhat lacking."
188Please respect copyright.PENANAbGHsOIuawW
188Please respect copyright.PENANAf8lATTfKax
Aeron emerged from the shadows and snapped his fingers.Louise found herself back on the bed, looking at her hands.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA0bTZ0uA3dl
188Please respect copyright.PENANAGRb9dzrJ22
Louise: ‘I’m…back.’
188Please respect copyright.PENANAM8ICOIONwo
188Please respect copyright.PENANAiKu8IfVCel
She smiled and let her tears flow freely. It was certainly a one-of-a-kind experience, one that she didn't want to repeat as long as she lived…
188Please respect copyright.PENANAROhff66JsV
188Please respect copyright.PENANAXp7s5OHaRW
After she got a hold of herself, she spotted Aeron, not as a snake but as a human.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAPdrQY2rvu9
188Please respect copyright.PENANAHRJrVtLwV2
He was around two meters tall, dressed in black leather armor. His head was hidden behind a hood and his face covered by a mask, making it difficult to see any facial features. He carried on his belt a black...glass?
188Please respect copyright.PENANAMXUHfTcwWE
188Please respect copyright.PENANArxdsNBO4qc
There was also a long sword and an evil-looking dagger strapped to the belt. On his hands were long black gloves, with metal depicting the bones of the human hand and a lot of rings on his fingers. On his chest was a picture of a silver skull in a purple sun.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAhx0ExH1Tnb
188Please respect copyright.PENANAT5f71REqGF
Louise: "So, w-why can you use magic? A-Are you a noble?"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAgVXsMAIOT7
188Please respect copyright.PENANAsgzpjqeQMO
Chuckling Aeron seated himself in one of the chairs in the room.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAMNwoAmYBwi
188Please respect copyright.PENANAWs4PN59Gox
Aeron: "Now we are getting somewhere. As I have mentioned my name is Aeron and I would appreciate it if you used it instead of familiar. To answer your questions no I'm not a noble and yes I am a mage."
188Please respect copyright.PENANAplhBbnPJnS
188Please respect copyright.PENANAad3FJzBKpl
Louise: "But how? Nobility comes from magic. Unless…you’re not from this world. Just like the others.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAoCy9Ka9Yb4
188Please respect copyright.PENANAv7f1dXbnty
Aeron: “Correct, but I’m not from whatever worlds they came from. Truly, impressive dragging us all here. 7 different worlds all connected to this one.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAzkptlG6Qd0
188Please respect copyright.PENANAxvUsYiXvST
Aeron: “Now, back to teaching you magic. First, let go of the wand. You won’t need it for my magic.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANASRu5DMxDvB
188Please respect copyright.PENANAUNYelzLHiF
Louise: “So you’ll be teaching me what that Raskeria girl did.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAOJte244YTT
188Please respect copyright.PENANAd2G8kUi8A3
Aeron: “…Something like that.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAJ66tEkf7ak
188Please respect copyright.PENANARTAGthswHq
Louise: “Can I…really do that? I’m not from your world.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAFwijxuIJPu
188Please respect copyright.PENANAYB6xAtoVHn
Aeron: “Trust me. Unless…you want to be a Zero all your life.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAGFm8d7FVLo
188Please respect copyright.PENANAwyIcyeUUdm
Louise: “NO!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAox9wCZP40j
188Please respect copyright.PENANAs0PYoJqn6y
Aeron: “Then let go of the wand.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAVKvUFetmxt
Louise looked at her wand, the wand that had been with her for her whole life. They’ve been through a lot, but it was time to move on. To bigger and better things. She let the wooden stick roll off her palm and onto the floor.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAfWz1PLZndJ
188Please respect copyright.PENANAOtPM0qKf6Q
Aeron then proceeded to crush it underfoot, sending its pieces across the floor. That part of her life…is now dead.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAwW8ez8eUgH
188Please respect copyright.PENANAknPS5fTG8o
Aeron: “When I’m done, you’ll be able to do that binding ritual with a finger. Now…”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAiPGUMDjmmQ
188Please respect copyright.PENANA8mnPqijcrT
Aeron snapped his fingers again and a book appeared levitating in front of him, from it a single piece of paper floated up to where Louise was.
188Please respect copyright.PENANADHUq5JwGze
188Please respect copyright.PENANA58CYypOiOj
Her eyes were wide open at the display of power made by her familiar, it took a minute before she snapped out of it and took the paper that was floating in front of her.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAsu3G9eED9O
188Please respect copyright.PENANAR8MrMkHqsA
Louise: "Whats this?"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAGI0YXdS771
188Please respect copyright.PENANAGPg46049nh
Aeron: "Its a spell of ′Silent Image′, a nice and safe low-level spell for beginners. You will memorize the scroll and then cast it. Simple as that."
188Please respect copyright.PENANAkB2lh0Qvmb
188Please respect copyright.PENANAOfUrSNVeya
Louise: "...I...can't read these runes."
188Please respect copyright.PENANAfWkVmkyDXF
188Please respect copyright.PENANAVVuehDJXdZ
She was not happy about admitting there was something she was unable to do. But if she wanted to learn Aeron’s magic, then there was no other way around it. It's not like these runes were drastically different from those she knew. True, some were absolutely foreign to her, but mostly it was the unfamiliar way the runes were inscribed in relation to one another that made no sense.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAjRF9CmZtfK
188Please respect copyright.PENANA6CIYVF5EE9
Aeron smirked behind his mask.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAv7JnNteYNY
188Please respect copyright.PENANAniGNl9DeAX
Aeron: “I will teach you how to read them, but before that would master be so kind as to tell me more about what you know about magic? It would save some time if I don't repeat what you already know."
188Please respect copyright.PENANAzOdemassTu
188Please respect copyright.PENANArcFjoUEDiF
She thought about it for a second before she nodded. Louise sat up straight demurely, lifted a finger, and started explaining, proud as a peacock.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAGgtDBJFSQM
188Please respect copyright.PENANAUFFbqXEGAI
Louise: "Listen, magic is divided into the five elements, Earth, Water, Wind, Fire, and the lost element of Void. The number of elements that a mage uses can be increased, and his class changes accordingly. A mage who can use only one element is a dot, ability to have two – makes one a line, being able to use three – triangle and four a square mage. Spells are also applied to the class. The spells from three elements are called 'Triangle spells'. Each time the spell class rises, the consumption of willpower doubles."
188Please respect copyright.PENANAZhma90dBOs
188Please respect copyright.PENANAHNTWXuEWxr
After she explained her magic system she puffed out her chest and allowed herself a small smile. After all, the written exams were her strong side.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA6KgOgvYvu0
188Please respect copyright.PENANAEel3TZ32XW
Aeron looked blankly at her before continuing on.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAG2R45rulG8
188Please respect copyright.PENANAd4AVqjmtjr
Aeron: "Okay, how long have you studied magic?"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAT51g75fRsm
188Please respect copyright.PENANA0bgTUybG0n
Louise: "Since I could lift a wand. I am a noble after all"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAEJWNhwuXDO
188Please respect copyright.PENANA3dw0JYbDGL
Aeron: "Very well, I will show you the spell and you pay attention"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAmaJpCgwuTW
188Please respect copyright.PENANAlY84kt4PBa
He spoke so she could understand him easily and memorize it.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA0RT0aBtZVM
188Please respect copyright.PENANAGWa9MM7boU
Aeron: "Silent Image."
188Please respect copyright.PENANAjvxHc6SZ6F
188Please respect copyright.PENANAtI9qdOmc7D
In front of them, an illusion of Professor Colbert appeared, his lips moved but no sound was forthcoming. And with a hand gesture, Aeron willed the image to disappear.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAzIPNdSxcgz
188Please respect copyright.PENANAxOVk5mcQjo
Aeron: "Have you memorized the incantation?"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAkoIG8PQPh9
188Please respect copyright.PENANA4sSqqeLk2i
Louise nodded.
188Please respect copyright.PENANALmwoc7mOxR
188Please respect copyright.PENANAImS1v4uDiU
Aeron: "Excellent. Now from what I’ve learned from you and idle talk around this place, you should already know how to use your willpower. All you need now is to imbue your fingers and tongue with magic as you would do with your wand. You will feel a slight tingling in them, if you put too much magic it will start to hurt so be careful."
188Please respect copyright.PENANAI9lh4eRUMT
188Please respect copyright.PENANA9tNre98fNV
The girl nodded again and closed her eyes. After a few minutes of testing the spell in her thoughts, she took a deep breath.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAmVXTZt9x3R
188Please respect copyright.PENANA6G65MCesMf
She opened her eyes and focused her mind on the spell, moving her delicate fingers she spoke.
188Please respect copyright.PENANARHcHhMqiuK
188Please respect copyright.PENANA4pWePf96U2
Louise: "Silent Image!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAILBmgzvVBt
188Please respect copyright.PENANApkdfaaPUBa
In front of her, an illusion of Flamma appeared and smiled at Louise. Tears began to run down Louise’s face as she stared at the illusion.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAjZ4UPq984a
188Please respect copyright.PENANASSduRAH07M
Louise: “I did it…I cast…a spell…”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAwOveqxUDH7
188Please respect copyright.PENANAH1MJ7H4R2E
She continued to sob as Aeron rolled his eyes. But that roll instantly turned into a gaze of alertness.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAFvLotaozF6
188Please respect copyright.PENANAjQqgUHQI1o
Aeron: ‘Seems like the fun is over for now.’
188Please respect copyright.PENANAuW5LCb8BJB
188Please respect copyright.PENANAXxMLN2aRBJ
Aeron got up and dispelled the illusion of Flamma.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA2Vp7eqqFhZ
188Please respect copyright.PENANAt1qSCXgtTu
Aeron: “Louise, I need you to keep what we’re learning from the other familiars and even the teachers and students..”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA3MysUPyesU
188Please respect copyright.PENANAHeDNMQf6WX
Louise wiped away her tears and turned to her true teacher.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAxlr1ejv9bd
188Please respect copyright.PENANAIQa91fyd44
Louise: “But why?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAJXVsiFOEOH
188Please respect copyright.PENANAxW1Fy4CeNC
Aeron: “The commoners among your familiars will be jealous. They may even want me to teach them. I want to help only you so that can’t happen. Let’s wait until your training is complete and then surprise them.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA9xkVZmcp3d
188Please respect copyright.PENANAoayVDf3Xkx
Louise: “I guess…that makes sense.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAtiML8R2f9n
188Please respect copyright.PENANAqewn25AzwY
Louise: ‘Shame, I did want to brag to Flamma.’
188Please respect copyright.PENANAI06VyAuw6E
188Please respect copyright.PENANAGzsPAsKuXN
Louise: “But why not the teachers and students?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAckBfRzYiJB
188Please respect copyright.PENANACEbADN5FGA
Aeron: “Similar reasons. This magic is beyond them. Wouldn’t want them to, I don’t know, ban me from teaching you.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAyVzDkkZ9o3
188Please respect copyright.PENANAowSBbZG7Z7
Louise: “I won’t let that happen!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAcBRcaYMQ1O
188Please respect copyright.PENANAcVQ0DGuWkj
Aeron: “Good. Now, I’ll see you later. When you’re alone once again.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA9XdkRtxtGy
188Please respect copyright.PENANArzyiXKvviD
With that, Aeron faded into the darkness of the room. Just in time for the door to open, revealing Flamma.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAweZd7Vh9BM
188Please respect copyright.PENANAvcarEjQtzy
Flamma: “Hey Louise wait until I…are you crying?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAUQ8AuVbAFZ
188Please respect copyright.PENANA1BQYCQR4HZ
Flamma knelt beside Louise and looked at her with worry.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAVQIksJnxdr
188Please respect copyright.PENANAilx5HxiPNp
Louise: “No, I just had something in my eye.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAJzFRz9KOt5
188Please respect copyright.PENANAkogT6MKbql
Flamma: “Are you sure? Nothing happened while I was gone right?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAN3dypMtJtz
188Please respect copyright.PENANAnbTg1w8fDI
Louise: “No, I’m fine Flamma.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA0IoPbwF6Fl
188Please respect copyright.PENANAgEQt6yPa6k
Flamma: “Oh, no familiar. What did I do to deserve this treatment?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAC1XASkaNns
188Please respect copyright.PENANA6l3nvFuokT
Louise: “Hmph, you’re still my familiar. But you also have a name. It’s also much easier to say than familiar.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAFHNhoG259W
188Please respect copyright.PENANAaR5UKkhcqn
Flamma: “Awww, thanks. That’s probably why everyone calls me that instead of my first name. Anyway, I’ve got a new story to tell you.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAZH7u9Tsemi
188Please respect copyright.PENANAZaJoit2T3k
Louise: “Something else happened?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAuX3Fwc5fGI

Flamma: “You know it. You summoned some interesting characters.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA87a5v8h1MO
188Please respect copyright.PENANAt8GBuDUmnE
As Flamma began to retell the events of the day, Louise couldn’t help but softly smile. Her life was really looking up.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA0gyv2hAeBU
188Please respect copyright.PENANAwFH7hLxfh4
It was almost time for bed but that didn’t stop Tech. He was determined to sleep in his lab tonight. The place suggested by Siesta was more than big enough for him to set up a Lab, HVSF(Heavy Vehicle Station Factory), COM Tower, and one landing pad.
188Please respect copyright.PENANA88Ks0mk8Ez
188Please respect copyright.PENANAVnTOKrzMSQ
Tech: ‘And thanks to subspace technology, it can all fit in a small space and leave lots of room. I love science.’
188Please respect copyright.PENANASqSVbFMPHf
188Please respect copyright.PENANAgPXTVgzx0P
He went to work by first getting out a Nanocube to construct the foundation to put his things on. Once the tiny bots were released they began to work the molecular structure of the ground into solid Granite Steel.
188Please respect copyright.PENANANnPZ1zrPRQ
188Please respect copyright.PENANANouk8IiQ3F
Once the ground was stable and flat Tech got out another cube, this one all gray with yellow slanted lines. He walked over to the 50 by 50-foot pad and set it in the center before backing out. It was then the Energy Storage cube started its work.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAIX6UTViEeq
188Please respect copyright.PENANAhRgxPeJkCd
First, an outline of the HVSF's supports began to show before filling in with steel beams. Next, floors were made followed by walls and grava-pads in the back. Then it made one sub-space connection floor to transport any number of vehicles in and out of this room and into another.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAbaR9hraUlm
188Please respect copyright.PENANANtY3B23YD5
He proceeded to walk inside and type in a command to make another 50 by 50 overhang to his right and placed a red cube with black ripples into a open section in the console and got to work.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAvWphwA7RM3
188Please respect copyright.PENANAlPNfl6ZLFC
On its right, a skeletal overhang folded out and stabilized itself before it began to fill in with another skeletal structure being the COM tower. The bottom where it would stand was held by many thin legs, holding cylinders with many tall rods. Some with blinking red lights.
188Please respect copyright.PENANArRpUm9KmLQ
188Please respect copyright.PENANAqvjYxLWXKI
He then put in two last cubes. One green with a rectilinear black and yellow warning strip for Landing Pad. One white cube with blue spots for the lab.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAVCVu7iJCro
188Please respect copyright.PENANAlt1jLGdMfM
And after another 5 minutes, it was complete. HVSF on ground level. Lab on top. Landing Pad on the left overhang and COM Tower on the right overhang.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAYAfhFSpdkX
188Please respect copyright.PENANANWcTFXlDUF
Normally a 50 by 50 spaced lab and vehicle station wouldn't be much. But that problem could be tossed aside as all the rooms are connected to a Sub-space induced area.
188Please respect copyright.PENANApe5LCur0Gn
188Please respect copyright.PENANAOAJIU5mxrD
The inside was 200 feet and had 20 doors leading to 15ft living rooms, 12ft bedrooms, two different shower rooms, and a 10ft kitchen.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAM5rXzMkUfC
188Please respect copyright.PENANALxd9iyQCyh
Then came the lower Sub-Spaced sections to the HVSF. This place had a grand total of 800ft filled with both ground and air vehicles. But that was the first 400ft. The rest was used as both a factory and repair station with crates, spare parts, a game room, and other things.

Dove: “The Deep Elves and they were the most advanced race on Nirn. Their machines still exist to this day.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAHDQLFmc4T1
188Please respect copyright.PENANAU4iJBudNVn
Tech: “Were? Oh, let me guess. They blew themselves up to kingdom come.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAWwxlCfRM3W
188Please respect copyright.PENANAlgaSPCMDBz
Dove: “More like messed with the heart of a god and thus erased their entire race from existence in an instant.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAF2AewyYzgG
188Please respect copyright.PENANAj8fcYQeydS
Tech: “…Okay, didn’t expect that. I’m assuming this was thousands of years ago.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANADmWMZRpZhg
188Please respect copyright.PENANAPopWoRDp6g
Dove: “Before you say it’s an exaggeration, don’t. It wasn’t that long ago and some elves do remember what happened.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA2HErCC0GUE
188Please respect copyright.PENANA9RljUapvAk
Tech: “…Fine, but I’m not taking your word for it. I mean come on, the heart of a god just wiping an entire species away? That’s crazy!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANArcrYUt7Vmb
188Please respect copyright.PENANALk8LJd5iHU
Dove: “The multiverse is a crazy and mysterious place. But enough about that, can I come in?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAZNbLb0BqBt
188Please respect copyright.PENANAx5AQ2LGA93
Putting that crazy conversation behind him, Tech nodded and walked to the blue pad. Dove joined and they waited for the grava lift to kick in.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAVcyGFqiRYM
188Please respect copyright.PENANANRjqXfjMXj
When it did, it brought the due to Tech’s lab. He breathed in the air in it and sighed in joy.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAIIr3393tow
188Please respect copyright.PENANAfStgeWkFSR
Tech: "Thank you lord for filtered air!"
188Please respect copyright.PENANAOvKqgNnxgO
188Please respect copyright.PENANAhnBKFc3kLv
Dove: “This place feel…weird.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6YsgXZ4lk
188Please respect copyright.PENANAYq9yMC1Jvm
Tech: “That’s super clean air for you. Breathe it in and enjoy.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAfky63znVpO
188Please respect copyright.PENANAzkTsymEQBb
Tech practically skipped to his most beloved thing, something he dearly missed. The TTACCOA or The Totally Awesome Command Chair Of Awesomeness.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAVLKEgP2LyZ
188Please respect copyright.PENANAjZP2UDD5LP
He soon sat down on the comfy leather. The chair can spin 360 degrees. It’s complete with holo keypads, security feed, games, blueprint makers, and total control over all Tech’s toys and so much more.
188Please respect copyright.PENANArjzb4qJBi5
188Please respect copyright.PENANAYj4khziU8U
Dove: “You look like you’re having fun.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA2JYod0omG4
188Please respect copyright.PENANA7XkMCYemCk
Tech: “This is my happy place.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAIFYhzrRCiV
188Please respect copyright.PENANAeDnDqeZJGO
Dove: “A chair?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAnslPHtXYkF
188Please respect copyright.PENANAq4gB8lppX9
Tech: “The most awesome chair you’ll ever see! Because I don’t want you sitting in it. This baby is all for me.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAkvPn0E6FEC
188Please respect copyright.PENANAINgFjw69RH
Dove: “Don’t worry, I won’t touch your…baby.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANApG1XtILIIQ
188Please respect copyright.PENANAq7DsJtSi7u
Tech: “Good, because I sadly have to leave it. I need a Nano-Bath to further repair my body for the work ahead.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAL9J18iAWIN
188Please respect copyright.PENANADOPRsGax6E
Dove: “You know, I do healing magic so-”
188Please respect copyright.PENANApXkNtqfMBu
188Please respect copyright.PENANABayWcjIaKq
Tech: “No thanks, I’m good. No offense, but I’ll trust science over magic any day. Besides, I don’t mind earning my health back through my own genius.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAGjlzf9Gnch
188Please respect copyright.PENANA2lzTXWoA6F
Dove sighed before letting Tech have his way. He’s definitely the most interesting and strangest of the familiars summoned.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAAMvsBJgiS6
188Please respect copyright.PENANAY116kjjdt8
Tech: “Feel to look around and marvel. There will be signs to show you around.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA5PXjECszna
188Please respect copyright.PENANAMsAZEoxBX5
With that, Tech got up and wandered to the area where the Nano-Baths were. Dove made her way through the place, admiring the high technology.
188Please respect copyright.PENANASAPcK2rWNS
188Please respect copyright.PENANAsF1QdxrtES
If there was one thing that Dove didn’t like though, it was the aesthetic. It was metal and sterile. It made her miss the outdoors already. But as she visited the individual rooms, she had another thought.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAUhOo7kmWRF
188Please respect copyright.PENANAfnVAX8FJdC
Dove: ‘If they can be customized, this would be a nice base for all of us. Secure, clean, and enough room for everyone. I’m sure they’d prefer this over sleeping outside or going through the trouble of teleporting home. Or in Flamma’s case, on hay.’
188Please respect copyright.PENANAsHXhsUm5gI
188Please respect copyright.PENANA9rAug4n96y
Dove continued her tour of the various areas of the base until she got bored and returned back to the lab. When she entered, she heard a somewhat familiar voice.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAavi2SaNrjB
188Please respect copyright.PENANAuua83VBWQl
“What the hell is this?!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAgMQQ1NBUuq
188Please respect copyright.PENANAMM4DtThAxS
Dove: “Who’s there?!”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAV5MxtDEt0E
188Please respect copyright.PENANAViI1T3bK90
Dove said while looking around for any possible enemy.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAdU3H5WP5tO
188Please respect copyright.PENANAjvTLgemRfW
Tech: “It’s a sound transmission from outside Dove, no one is attacking.’
188Please respect copyright.PENANAwxonvbxzNw
188Please respect copyright.PENANAlvGGc3OvLF
Dove turned to face Tech who looks healthier than before. He also has some strange armor over his body. The armor is dark green and black. He sat down and typed some commands to bring up a visual.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAq9oRojIJyv
188Please respect copyright.PENANAxfQuHuSRjF
Standing outside is Raskreia who is looking at the screen with an interested look.
188Please respect copyright.PENANASX27Pvuzhw
188Please respect copyright.PENANA6IoCm9Q34X
Raskreia: “Oh, I get it. Okay, who built this? I swear it wasn’t the last time I checked.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANART4IuyoPNB
188Please respect copyright.PENANAjpxCkNGnx9
Tech: “One of us?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAWdx953yb0h
188Please respect copyright.PENANA3kEpt0fhNK
Dove: “Yeah, the one who can use the gate spell to go back home. She’s currently helping Jake first.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAQzwO8mftRp
188Please respect copyright.PENANAlcmrosRQFM
Tech: “Really? I was sure she tricked everyone and left on her own. Well, let’s go greet her.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA97CMX8Zmnf
188Please respect copyright.PENANAxIjEHdOEDB
The duo exited the lab and went back to the grava lift. It took no time to get back to the surface and greet Raskreia.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAqvVZQJioR9
188Please respect copyright.PENANAACkoeO27yJ
Raskreia: “Whoa, aren’t that sick kid from back then?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAB0tXmU3fnh
188Please respect copyright.PENANAPN0z1C8YWp
Tech: “Yeah, I got better.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAJFpEEZqaEk
188Please respect copyright.PENANAOmw2VcJRSh
Raskreia: “I see, and who is this?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA9VFU0f6ubS
188Please respect copyright.PENANA0fuoR5iD9r
Dove: “I’m Dovahkiin. Call me Dove when I’m in this form.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAAqPd0gBmvT
188Please respect copyright.PENANAdRIvnI6HB7
Raskreia: “No way, really? Zander didn’t mention that. Does that mean you’re undercover or something?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAF3k2R7ijHF
188Please respect copyright.PENANAGmhJIRzOW6
Dove: “Something like that, I’ll tell you on the way. Come in.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAIQJTuD1INF
188Please respect copyright.PENANAHiNgo5e5M9
Tech: “You know, it should be me inviting her in. This is my base after all.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAEwa2GFDTXv
188Please respect copyright.PENANAjHiO6ta9IM
Dove: “Can she come in?”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA0jGjHPHQ9m
188Please respect copyright.PENANAqJ5NXbK4QP
Tech: “I didn’t say she couldn’t. Just…come on.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAoveALVR1op
188Please respect copyright.PENANAG4WIobYLpH
The trio went back inside and headed toward the lab. Dove filled Rask in on their situation.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAmTdbPehbCU
188Please respect copyright.PENANANnCeURK3ZH
Raskreia: “Wow, I probably shouldn’t leave then. The next time I come back, the entire country might be in flames.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANARQ6RmPweoO
188Please respect copyright.PENANA7y4ThIDQAd
Raskreia: ‘I probably shouldn’t reveal my true form either. These people would go nuts!’
188Please respect copyright.PENANAaxaZRPKAqz
188Please respect copyright.PENANA9gj83vOkQQ
Dove: “No need to worry about that, I wouldn’t let it happen. I have a 100% success rate in saving the world.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANATfi1kU8F0M
188Please respect copyright.PENANADAeaX0P9md
Tech: “Well, since you’re here make yourself a home and marvel at my creations. It’s going to get even more amazing tomorrow.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAUkT6AhkzgQ
188Please respect copyright.PENANAc9GjdW11pT
Raskreia: “Yeah, the fight. I’m so there for it. But it’s interesting that you just let me hang around your base without supervision.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAsVqE49JhAp
188Please respect copyright.PENANAe3hU2xOlzH
Tech: “Oh don’t worry, I have systems in place in case you’re feeling suicidal.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAOHnDtRdowx
188Please respect copyright.PENANAS3JpMPIfmT
Raskreia: “Ha, I like you kid. I’ll think stick around then.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAyngoZq5ML8
188Please respect copyright.PENANAPMaf7PECXE
Tech: “Fine, pick a room and-”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAWEwg8mme6d
188Please respect copyright.PENANA4ViQ0sHnIF
Dove: “Speaking of, can we customize them? They are kind of plain as is.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAkIKUOyxRpM
188Please respect copyright.PENANAhP7LCY6Bz1
Tech: “Easy, but can we save it for tomorrow? Even I need rest.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA37nkPYQsuu
188Please respect copyright.PENANAdAiR5yhPK9
Dove: “Sure. After I show Raskreia to the living rooms, I’ll probably have to leave and fly around the academy. I wouldn’t want people to worry that a large dragon is missing and on the loose.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA7oH2gzyknd
188Please respect copyright.PENANA1qaxAHN3MV
Raskreia: “That must suck. You’ll probably have to sleep on the roof then.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAYiCjybmlJ7
188Please respect copyright.PENANAqZEibWYtT3
Dove: “I’m sure it won’t be so bad.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAZErFvdt83A
188Please respect copyright.PENANAqZ9NZhT5Oy
Dove: ‘Great, just when I found an actual bed to sleep in…’
188Please respect copyright.PENANAVcRtG7ymVN
188Please respect copyright.PENANAumdu7QkSSE
Tech: “I’m actually curious about your dragon form. I’ll walk out with you when you’re ready.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA4INmxbkuHq
188Please respect copyright.PENANAz4cfRk14cc
Dove: “Alright.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANA5AVTfbMt38
188Please respect copyright.PENANAjhye4Z3T41
So Dove showed Raskreia to one of the living rooms and she proceeded to flop on the bed. Leaving her to get comfortable, the duo left the base for the surface.
188Please respect copyright.PENANAg4iciOyFnn
188Please respect copyright.PENANA2Rh8a9Kb89
Dove got a good distance away from before using her dragon aspect shout to transform into a dragon. She then took off and flew around the academy.
188Please respect copyright.PENANANWRGIUKsGW
188Please respect copyright.PENANAQNfi9A0HpY
Tech: “Fine, I’ll admit that transforming into a dragon is cool and beyond what I’m capable of. I mean I could make a mechanical dragon. Note to self, post that as a future project and pit it against Dove.”
188Please respect copyright.PENANAeJkpDQc4hb
188Please respect copyright.PENANAx0fALNQPxQ
With that, Tech went back into his lab to finish a few preparations for tomorrow. And then finally getting a good night’s sleep.
