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.

394Please respect copyright.PENANAAglgIQsXmj
Dove: “You’ll get used to it.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAcv07qoKx29
394Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZxK8qpzLy
Siesta: “The air too?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAnG24l9NNab
394Please respect copyright.PENANA4wI5Dk9h9U
Dove: “Eventually.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAbUb6wWkMAo
394Please respect copyright.PENANAS4DlNHiiUT
Flamma: “I have to admit Tech, even I’m blown away by this.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANALOredC7JMs
394Please respect copyright.PENANAafJD8sjJmp
Tech: “This is nothing. I’ve upgraded things while Dove was away.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAbnjGd8nyjp
394Please respect copyright.PENANAXPWlcR76nK
Dove: “Raskreia did mention something but didn’t want to ruin the surprise.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAxbjVriodhE
394Please respect copyright.PENANAgMWIbXd8CA
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.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAVUvMQguqTB
394Please respect copyright.PENANA58Mgi3H2IT
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.
394Please respect copyright.PENANADCBSInyoY0
394Please respect copyright.PENANAAbdBAaa09B
To everyone but Dove, it was strange and alien.
394Please respect copyright.PENANANEn7cmdrRe
394Please respect copyright.PENANAdeB2iZmiZs
Dove: “You sure you’re not a Dwemer?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANA5okmAuT6Ir
394Please respect copyright.PENANAdVdLLgZOlI
Tech: “Really? They had stuff like this?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAsh6DP7uwkW
394Please respect copyright.PENANAIakdZOZYac
Dove: “Yes, we still have to fight them if we delve into their ruins.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAkJZPxwlogN
394Please respect copyright.PENANAdGOleBIyyL
Tech: “Interesting, shame I can’t meet them.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAcz48MoH2Yr
394Please respect copyright.PENANA4xc0sQJF5e
Siesta: “T-Tech, what is all of this?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAYJlAeTNNPI
394Please respect copyright.PENANAY0ckE8GCBZ
Tech: “This…is the power of science. Something magic can’t replicate.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAVxEJoSmome
394Please respect copyright.PENANA6uLCZvzY2u
Flamma: “Flying autonomous Golems Tech, not that impressive. Your speed in making them is, but still.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAVTLXv52qR4
394Please respect copyright.PENANAdgaIRISoSO
Tech: “This is only the tip of the iceberg.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAZLHfUdK4G1
394Please respect copyright.PENANA748XcsWSZA
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.
394Please respect copyright.PENANARuFgT4u626
394Please respect copyright.PENANA7S0I2afWJr
Flamma: “Hey, are you okay?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAYVJnPJ9An6
394Please respect copyright.PENANA6HHILkqYAf
Seista: “Oh no, did Guiche actually-”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAyTGCD0USjM
394Please respect copyright.PENANAKjtUonSUl0
Tech: “Please, he couldn’t hurt me even if I let him. I just need some rest.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAR4e7LGRA1j
394Please respect copyright.PENANAQQ4dxPvWv6
Dove: “Still don’t want me to heal you?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANATsoc67DaeR
394Please respect copyright.PENANA1uwui9ByUj
Tech: “Nope.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANA1XhaeqcqYh
394Please respect copyright.PENANAeRVb57m3MZ
Dove: “Suit yourself.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAXTA66otw9w
394Please respect copyright.PENANA5CoPia05EQ
Seista: “Please Tech, if you’re really not well then you should let Dove heal you.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANA85i22SvYbK
394Please respect copyright.PENANAmZrjDIYMUP
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.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAdyRsAmfVcq
394Please respect copyright.PENANAuuqwcpXwho
Dove: “Already?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAOOZqGHtOEM
394Please respect copyright.PENANALHrTIa3H1L
Tech: “Like I said, easy.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAet2ktdevyV
394Please respect copyright.PENANAvymUSB8HIp
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.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAlKG6Xjfpji
394Please respect copyright.PENANA0xw1ROoJGW
Tech: “So far I only made four. If the others want, and if they behave, I’ll make more.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANARHHd5XjpuJ
394Please respect copyright.PENANAYehZHUZI1w
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.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAAMfEdHj2ax
394Please respect copyright.PENANA7NiFjIluQt
Tech: “If you have any requests then ask me or one of the machines floating around occasionally.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAlFUvWC0MGf
394Please respect copyright.PENANAG4ZmTHiyib
Dove: “I like it, thanks Tech.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAYaBriG1YeO

Siesta: “Is this really for us?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAcVIoZ7VDpc
394Please respect copyright.PENANA9N1jwahfcS
She says as she looks around the well-designed room. A room fit for a noble…
394Please respect copyright.PENANAkuu4U9k7GP
394Please respect copyright.PENANAZVNJPWrcZP
Tech: “It was a good design exercise, don’t look too deeply into it.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAU2Ev0VdfLx
394Please respect copyright.PENANA9hLRWReE2l
Flamma: “Softy.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANACiNuAuIDko

Tech: “Shut it.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAMPNC8zQ7gJ

Flamma: “Ha, jokes aside though, I have decline.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANATNKMOek7j7
394Please respect copyright.PENANADn0HgJQGK4
Everyone stopped what they were doing and their eyes widen.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAdA7dyRVdq2
394Please respect copyright.PENANAiq5R2ZSGpJ
Tech: “Out of everyone, I was sure you would be the most grateful. You sleep on hay for goodness sake.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANARGH1DHZSI6
394Please respect copyright.PENANA5WJ9DWgoMe
Siesta: “Why Flamma?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANA6JVRQuAcQ5
394Please respect copyright.PENANAAQ642lormH
Flamma: “Don’t get me wrong, I like the design and will visit. But…I don’t want to leave Louise alone.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAhByzZ6j5Qk
394Please respect copyright.PENANANQoY9dW7Ct
Tech: “Let me repeat myself, you sleep on hay woman. Accept the nice comfy bed, I won’t even ask for thanks.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAhpof6vRzwZ
394Please respect copyright.PENANA44lLCJ2VmW
Dove: “Does this have something to do with why you decided to be Louise’s familiar?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAXahCm4VIsG
394Please respect copyright.PENANA8CSkDa03HT
Tech: “And getting branded like an animal, I might add.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAopJp58sVpR
394Please respect copyright.PENANA2ccoSgGDm0
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.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAAZBZlTwwqo
394Please respect copyright.PENANAHjM3dDztil
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.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAZmkb7RJsI8
394Please respect copyright.PENANAlJ83Q19wgD
Flamma: “Yeah, I’ll explain if you’re sure this place is secure.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANA4CwZ50dADx
394Please respect copyright.PENANA8MoeCafEjX
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.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAsv3qgEibmm
394Please respect copyright.PENANAs4sIHJt30D
Flamma: “Do any of you know of Void Magic?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAqJW8ctzJpc
394Please respect copyright.PENANAYCKPJLRdtc
Dove: “Unless it has something to do with Sithis or Namira, gods forbid, then no.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAK59Sf7xSb8
394Please respect copyright.PENANANilpGyBDQn
Tech: “It’s magic so no.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAQDi0daYuTt
394Please respect copyright.PENANAisNmAvZqNu
They look to Seista who’s blankly staring at Flamma.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAEkJ8gv1oZO
394Please respect copyright.PENANAOm5wRAS4A6
Flamma: “You know, don’t you?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANANe2uRY2Zfm
394Please respect copyright.PENANAaZTeIxhNGz
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-”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAkcjNUCGKxx
394Please respect copyright.PENANApKHDA6JeVv
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.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAa2BVKEFTvJ
394Please respect copyright.PENANALu98sFNh5j
Dove: “Y-You’re surely joking.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAR6AaFMl2WE
394Please respect copyright.PENANASPe5NiC3rL
Seista: “Is Miss Louise truly that powerful?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAvytcZ34eF1
394Please respect copyright.PENANAu5bVVf4SRP
Flamma: “She can be. That’s why I must stay with her. To protect her from people who may deceive and use her.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANABN3cNSXLAZ
394Please respect copyright.PENANAnanQcLfoGm
Tech: “Ugh, I’m too tired for this crazy magical stuff. Debrief me later, I need some rest. But before I go, here.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAZpV5U0NLAx
394Please respect copyright.PENANAr8w8wfkMg0
Tech hands the three of them a steel rod with a blue slit down the center.
394Please respect copyright.PENANATa2G0M5SZt
394Please respect copyright.PENANAk3XH2wsU9M
Dove: “I’d rather a sword.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAOSRNF9W3gx
394Please respect copyright.PENANAKMzEhfxdul
Before Flamma can quip herself, a thin sheet of harden light shot out from the side of the rod.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAoxC7QwXmqY
394Please respect copyright.PENANAGQNvX9TnWU
Tech: “Information is the most powerful tool at our disposal, don’t waste it.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAEzBinuPOow
394Please respect copyright.PENANA4mBW1qupqQ
Dove: “Why give us all of this information?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAyCmgdfNmSh
394Please respect copyright.PENANAFw6dXQrGMF
Tech: “So what I will do in future won’t fry your brains. I’ll plan on putting whatever your Dwemer did to shame.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANA6djaaJpQM7
394Please respect copyright.PENANA2Lta8Cmb88
He winks before leaving for his own room to recover for the day. Meanwhile, the maid trio looked down at their data pads.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAUYneSFNbIS
394Please respect copyright.PENANA4qPeOkoDwY
Siesta: “How do we use this?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAEPcpG5IOqE
394Please respect copyright.PENANAiv5pGmwODi
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.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAg4HcXO7e0S
394Please respect copyright.PENANAyvHyJTD4Mr
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.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAhzMkPT3ucw
394Please respect copyright.PENANArC9JTTlYaZ
Aeron: ‘Her value just went up. If I’m lucky, I may even be able to steal this Void Magic for myself. But first…’
394Please respect copyright.PENANAovfkSLak5B
394Please respect copyright.PENANAhNdhR78VvY
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.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAiE14h2trDE
394Please respect copyright.PENANAroOnqmAdqh
Tech slumbed forward a bit but catching himself. He shook his head before regaining his footing.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAXMnDPGbaLO
394Please respect copyright.PENANAzWLwkLgBYs
Tech: “Whoa, I might need this more than I thought.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANANfVVEOiKCd
394Please respect copyright.PENANALygbX8alte
Aeron: ‘That’s one threat dealt with.’
394Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8xc0tGps3
394Please respect copyright.PENANAqxtMds4NXa
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.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAEwMPuMyHRu
394Please respect copyright.PENANAwg4yMCLWOP
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.
394Please respect copyright.PENANA783BQffvPH
394Please respect copyright.PENANA6OY0Z2mzP0
Siesta: “Tech’s world is scary…”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAQWZWLhTjEZ
394Please respect copyright.PENANAlUsQReZDf5
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.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANA3fAzm6txYo
394Please respect copyright.PENANAwePTLE0EQa
Dove: “The way they wage war doesn’t bother you?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAUb2kX3WP4c
394Please respect copyright.PENANAfK3hW96Oi9
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.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANANHj0j2l0Cl
394Please respect copyright.PENANA1Lnr60mLxl
Dove: ‘I wouldn’t want to fight hundreds of them though.’
394Please respect copyright.PENANA3GPbEB8q6O
394Please respect copyright.PENANAP390ZmfBqt
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.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAcY3DSxezLx
394Please respect copyright.PENANAr96qjOiPSz
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?
394Please respect copyright.PENANArqwPB7dkgP
394Please respect copyright.PENANAtKgIT33MOv
So many scenarios raced through her mind and it only worsen her feelings of helplessness. She trusted her dear friends but…
394Please respect copyright.PENANA14tayWybsg
394Please respect copyright.PENANAsrUkpfXjts
Flamma: “Siesta? You good?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANALIZPqlf4wa
394Please respect copyright.PENANA3lIUEloEot
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.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAiM4uv8K7fp
394Please respect copyright.PENANAYeL4rOmGAG
Flamma: “Good idea, I need to get back to Louise too. What about you Dove?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAD51n16KChI
394Please respect copyright.PENANAEqpIIEKBJd
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.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAD3rYpTAXzA
394Please respect copyright.PENANAbqyaKEUi3l
Siesta: “…”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAwX3L3y126W

Flamma: “Alright, later Dove.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAw7WlHeshHP
394Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3HblzJM7A
When Flamma and Siesta left, Dove got on the bed and continued to scroll through the data pad. Her topic…new metals.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAHOWDtLuEFM
394Please respect copyright.PENANAwFAXD6eqHw
Raskreia: “Jake, you following me around is not going to make me go plane hopping faster.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANA48ei47KlVK
394Please respect copyright.PENANAGeCPGA80mL
Jake: “Would a blade to the neck help?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAbmro5X4H8q
394Please respect copyright.PENANA3oEgrc9pJV
Raskreia: “No, but you may try your luck if you want.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANA3D9EcahWgI
394Please respect copyright.PENANANFCWEzqB77
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!
394Please respect copyright.PENANAgAamrPROHC
394Please respect copyright.PENANAc34jprOPXg
Jake: “Ugh, makes me wish Guiche challenged me. At least I wouldn’t be so bored.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANANMJ3JrOvKF
394Please respect copyright.PENANAQyRV3fp7G1
Jake: ‘You’re so lucky Zander is still around.’
394Please respect copyright.PENANAFKaIsH2piJ
394Please respect copyright.PENANAa3fkNQIPY3
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.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAwi9dTkyjOv
394Please respect copyright.PENANANAIbz4l3zs
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.
394Please respect copyright.PENANACknBrG3xdo
394Please respect copyright.PENANAm6qmYV8eDa
Raskreia: “You could learn to socialize.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAdgWyl8lPZW
394Please respect copyright.PENANAYOWCXli4TV
Jake: “…No.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANA2by1aAkFss
394Please respect copyright.PENANADrhGEQY1d2
She could only sigh at the kid’s hard exterior.
394Please respect copyright.PENANA5mzr91dkdJ
394Please respect copyright.PENANAuDGcmiKt0W
Raskreia: “Look, I’ll start looking after I talk with Flamma.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANA2rcvzgahes
394Please respect copyright.PENANA847aBkppZb
Jake: “Why? What’s so important?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAlyWDF86gTo
394Please respect copyright.PENANAL2AFvYDw8t
Raskreia: “Her true nature.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAcKOnOX6eMc

Jake: “A dragon or something right? What of it?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAvVdUV2LRCD
394Please respect copyright.PENANAXvSF3uLlUq
Raskreia: “I have a feeling there’s more to her.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAWcHa30yIII
394Please respect copyright.PENANAorGu5DVw0J
Just then, the door to Tech’s base opened revealing Flamma and Siesta.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAS08RtbbbfH
394Please respect copyright.PENANANEUxgStBoj
Raskreia: “Finally, hey Flam-”
394Please respect copyright.PENANA1dUYrz5qme
394Please respect copyright.PENANAsEU9PbJRqK
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.
394Please respect copyright.PENANACYVNaS0DH4
394Please respect copyright.PENANAtjrstNPPkf
When the flaming bullet hit the grass, everyone looked at Raskreia with a mix of confusion and outrage.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAoyuR5uR2lZ
394Please respect copyright.PENANArGYuKWmidO
Seista: “Ah!”
394Please respect copyright.PENANA8s70V4PWMW

394Please respect copyright.PENANA2fqS96yhIS

Flamma: “What? An enemy?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANApHUGZy9X48
394Please respect copyright.PENANAcstBJisMvm
Raskreia: “I don’t know. It’s gone now but…it felt somewhat familiar. Like something from my world.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAjixvfOJcNW
394Please respect copyright.PENANAbup5iZHdaj
Siesta: “R-Really?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAZZOeuzxONe
394Please respect copyright.PENANA19JHFpWFji
Flamma: “I didn’t sense anything.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAqKNoUBeCW1
394Please respect copyright.PENANAoG2UHe3wHT
Raskreia: “It’s okay, not everyone is as good as me at magical sensing.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAcETxTEyn1b
394Please respect copyright.PENANAg1ibwuVKty
Zander: “Is everything alright?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAD8t2aWLqdz
394Please respect copyright.PENANAMJ5sUZighs
The girls turned to Zander and the ever present Kirche.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAokGdCHBNbt
394Please respect copyright.PENANA0eDrlcjKFG
Kirche: “I should have known one of Zero’s familiars to be crazy. I thought it would be boy though.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANALdmL77MKCY
394Please respect copyright.PENANAk0oHhQOZrK
Raskreia: “Watch it.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANALKIKB6Rsbq

Zander: “Be nice Kirche, I’m sure she noticed something we didn’t.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAllR5F9qrU0
394Please respect copyright.PENANAjI5kRtnO1L
Kirche: “Something even you couldn’t sense?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAWbWYieLwVS
394Please respect copyright.PENANAoVbv7H6WLn
Zander: “I leave support roles to others. So, unfortunately, I’m not that good at healing or reconnaissance.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANA4lDjTvFISJ
394Please respect copyright.PENANAqDgupjf8pq
Jake: “That’s good to know.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAt3P33YGmUO
394Please respect copyright.PENANArtqTV8Mhpf
Jake came up from behind and unlike everyone, he could see the snake making his escape.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAgF0jlhL1j5
394Please respect copyright.PENANAOdpkoZxrrU
Jake: ‘If she won’t help me, why should I?’
394Please respect copyright.PENANAS1Jj7S3HSw
394Please respect copyright.PENANAVUQ0rZjL6r
Jake: “Rask, call me when you have a lead before start I losing it.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANARdctmFvIiT

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.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANANlEhsRvfHs
394Please respect copyright.PENANAlvj3Fl38L6
Zander: “Are you sure?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAdO80A9BnmK
394Please respect copyright.PENANAjIlTUpOTS5
Raskreia: “Yep. But enough of my blunder, Flamma, got a moment to talk?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAFZewFTNdpH
394Please respect copyright.PENANAIWElcf2xVR
Flamma: “I’m on my way to Louise, we’ll talk on the way. See you tomorrow Siesta.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAhJLNs0fZiY
394Please respect copyright.PENANA4mGfQRcPvi
Siesta: “Have a good night Flamma.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAgzdNoTqrMy
394Please respect copyright.PENANAMvn93KVWB1
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.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAqNdnCVPRbI
394Please respect copyright.PENANAI89dOeIZzE
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.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAqPecOLdB3U
394Please respect copyright.PENANAshUEM99cWt
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.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAujFNjcjSn3
394Please respect copyright.PENANAwCEUxAOdyq
Louise: “How dar-”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAamHZojM3H8
394Please respect copyright.PENANAqo0vwjWA1s
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.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANA1Hl5qF5iMa
394Please respect copyright.PENANASAlTc0zEBd
Louise: “But…how is this possible? Why are they two of me and why is she…like that?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAGD25pRjKCk
394Please respect copyright.PENANAakQqXr5vWT
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.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAsBbRlODnvp
394Please respect copyright.PENANAcYQ18L3EJ8
Louise: “…Will she be fine?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAaTVEmVR8EV
394Please respect copyright.PENANALd4nktcjcC
Bench: “She will be if I’m given enough time to work on her. Now, if you’ll excuse me.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAiQkNo5AVJs
394Please respect copyright.PENANAAxC79mn0d9
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.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAVC0XMLwP6C
394Please respect copyright.PENANAezqeGLfMfw
The thought of giving into the sensation…terrifiedher. She wanted…no…needed to escape this feeling.
394Please respect copyright.PENANA4sifvLhPXH
394Please respect copyright.PENANAW2KkrsfmgF
Louise: ‘Where’s Aeron when I need him? Learning a new spell should help get my mind off this…’
394Please respect copyright.PENANAEHUFqXC6Kc
394Please respect copyright.PENANA0hsKKBRpKb
But instead of the dark star, the sun instead appeared before her.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAmOC1CisqYG
394Please respect copyright.PENANAmdGoZvF1zY
Flamma: “Hey Louise, we were looking everywhere for you.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAXVRNvLDtug
394Please respect copyright.PENANA0tRTBrGN5C
Louise: “Flamma!”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAMZAdgV6mTM
394Please respect copyright.PENANANrAhyaUXV6
Louise quickly regained herself and pushed down her unexpected excitement.
394Please respect copyright.PENANA12IxgOhjYS
394Please respect copyright.PENANAZMWnmihWBT
Louise: “What are you doing here? Aren’t you suppose to be with Tech and the other maids?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANATquVQZ7pwz
394Please respect copyright.PENANAWcixXUkLiy
Flamma: “Jealous?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAcdN2Ur1Liy
394Please respect copyright.PENANA7ELl9PYhH9
Louise: “N-No. Get over yourself familiar!”
394Please respect copyright.PENANA8OjPYrHN6k
394Please respect copyright.PENANA0gRgYkLgOE
Raskreia: “Oh, she got it bad huh? Understandable.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAG85quo2dJ3
394Please respect copyright.PENANAum701mVS3P
She whispers into Flamma’s ear.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAUoGSeV0zD2
394Please respect copyright.PENANAIv3qoNKg9B
Flamma: “Shush you.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAsM3pqEeaqQ
394Please respect copyright.PENANAX7fcSqOuvD
Flamma: “Don’t worry master, I was just learning somethings from my friends. I won’t leave your side for anything less.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAY0P00U5iAZ
394Please respect copyright.PENANAdfiYcsSQFo
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?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANALUdxQak9yx
394Please respect copyright.PENANAW7u28YNvGq
Raskreia: “Buy me dinner first and maybe I’ll think about it.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAQeEP3VHt3c
394Please respect copyright.PENANAvVjHWSkeaz
That got Louise to fume red while Flamma giggled at how adorable Louise can be.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAASg1A0Bnk3
394Please respect copyright.PENANApzOUTpHvJW
Raskreia: “Don’t be like that kid, I was just learning more about Flamma. Congrats by the way.”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAPXqDV0jKLb
394Please respect copyright.PENANAjJOek6jrbr
Louise: “What are you talking about?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANApfXVzgYGj7
394Please respect copyright.PENANAIkorFSQS79
Raskreia: “You didn’t just bond with a dragon, but apparently one that was worshiped as a Goddess long ago. Nice job!”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAfjZkFedcyb
394Please respect copyright.PENANApV02MkGKHf
Louise: “…Huh?”
394Please respect copyright.PENANAT7c8dlH1Zp
394Please respect copyright.PENANATHmMrKYD68
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.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAtuGSl75Swd
394Please respect copyright.PENANAPt67an1cB5
Raskeria alone may be his equal. That’s not even counting Zander and Flamma. But Jake is interesting…
394Please respect copyright.PENANA7gaMzTJ8GE
394Please respect copyright.PENANAxyqH5GYkIW
Aeron: ‘He noticed but didn’t do anything, interesting. Maybe he could be a good tool for later. Speaking of tools…’
394Please respect copyright.PENANALRDlRRjF5q
394Please respect copyright.PENANAtU3ezSRzFs
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.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAH19ztZoyT1
394Please respect copyright.PENANAxV7Mq4LJo7
Luckily for him, the pieces were already in place.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAJQ2gJTl2fM
394Please respect copyright.PENANA0ZpOtKoVu8
Guiche is probably bitter about his lose, a perfect mind to send over the edge.
394Please respect copyright.PENANA1Qj0MCuQ6c
394Please respect copyright.PENANAdbRcG4wF8i
Siesta was alone and vulnerable, a useful pawn and possible ally depending on how he pulls this off.
394Please respect copyright.PENANAWzco2dikaB
394Please respect copyright.PENANA71sintO5Yq
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.
394Please respect copyright.PENANA08l7P6Leqg
394Please respect copyright.PENANAjYShL51kJW
Aeron casts alter self so he looks like Siesta before making his way to Guiche.
