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.

116Please respect copyright.PENANAkMWdi3dknW
Dove: “You’ll get used to it.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAxmSTdEqrQu
116Please respect copyright.PENANA4zK6GAM0Xp
Siesta: “The air too?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAZpSE0UP6w5
116Please respect copyright.PENANA3so53l1P1d
Dove: “Eventually.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAnd0mJ43ogP
116Please respect copyright.PENANAaSoVsHngt5
Flamma: “I have to admit Tech, even I’m blown away by this.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAhsGJZXCLtj
116Please respect copyright.PENANAPkNRIz9LyF
Tech: “This is nothing. I’ve upgraded things while Dove was away.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA5Gvhp5tT13
116Please respect copyright.PENANAo4RmFba5ds
Dove: “Raskreia did mention something but didn’t want to ruin the surprise.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAbZlvkjiAat
116Please respect copyright.PENANAuzVhugP5X1
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAykj7aB5ASG
116Please respect copyright.PENANAbMJcJMFAW4
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAhvOssniEnH
116Please respect copyright.PENANA0PAcFFt17p
To everyone but Dove, it was strange and alien.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAb7L9Da53Sb
116Please respect copyright.PENANAyAZcUg4IAw
Dove: “You sure you’re not a Dwemer?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAykDEOp02ew
116Please respect copyright.PENANAU4ir2D8qVG
Tech: “Really? They had stuff like this?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAyxa9zDcrVP
116Please respect copyright.PENANAIOBhjJOLhF
Dove: “Yes, we still have to fight them if we delve into their ruins.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAcdP5p4pxjf
116Please respect copyright.PENANAGQPHu32qMr
Tech: “Interesting, shame I can’t meet them.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAwOhqALNKkl
116Please respect copyright.PENANAEYAzuzp0Uc
Siesta: “T-Tech, what is all of this?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA35K4lNdGgf
116Please respect copyright.PENANAcE6K8FcFwF
Tech: “This…is the power of science. Something magic can’t replicate.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA8JVQ2501oy
116Please respect copyright.PENANAN0alZ0fFh5
Flamma: “Flying autonomous Golems Tech, not that impressive. Your speed in making them is, but still.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAeUaaVBwcF9
116Please respect copyright.PENANAV8fJNcfq0S
Tech: “This is only the tip of the iceberg.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA6dxzix3WZr
116Please respect copyright.PENANAJLdtYqBIEN
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAp2Psq8P2lj
116Please respect copyright.PENANAIgEpmmVx8M
Flamma: “Hey, are you okay?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAmfWNpDCqMe
116Please respect copyright.PENANA81hFiL7a1h
Seista: “Oh no, did Guiche actually-”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAHa0YMqJdJy
116Please respect copyright.PENANAj9CDd15yB6
Tech: “Please, he couldn’t hurt me even if I let him. I just need some rest.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA38oEZ225gr
116Please respect copyright.PENANAx5enF7bIa9
Dove: “Still don’t want me to heal you?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAv8ubHoIkyY
116Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9p78Ltmzs
Tech: “Nope.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAzI4iJPGfZZ
116Please respect copyright.PENANAVPJHXJKbIw
Dove: “Suit yourself.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAKTHdmkfQeN
116Please respect copyright.PENANAd4XukPuLIZ
Seista: “Please Tech, if you’re really not well then you should let Dove heal you.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAj7mB2CHMJ4
116Please respect copyright.PENANAG6prMPJIeu
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.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA3GFkinLMcR
116Please respect copyright.PENANAyeTnOPmXI0
Dove: “Already?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAIheCs6XDc2
116Please respect copyright.PENANAfW2TMjDJUs
Tech: “Like I said, easy.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAwuTBiYUqY4
116Please respect copyright.PENANAJVWSgk5Bln
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAjTYnxfkpnq
116Please respect copyright.PENANAyJx3ZGyNVD
Tech: “So far I only made four. If the others want, and if they behave, I’ll make more.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAP54hRkWKl5
116Please respect copyright.PENANAwPbqAfUvPU
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANA6e64Sr2Q8k
116Please respect copyright.PENANAspIZE4o45X
Tech: “If you have any requests then ask me or one of the machines floating around occasionally.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA5OLMH5pS2J
116Please respect copyright.PENANAdKufE9GkhD
Dove: “I like it, thanks Tech.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAGnMdVQyLEI
116Please respect copyright.PENANAkG3DTLjzie
Siesta: “Is this really for us?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAJGZ4C3VqWB
116Please respect copyright.PENANA0ioIvLQnaT
She says as she looks around the well-designed room. A room fit for a noble…
116Please respect copyright.PENANATTy3h12OCO
116Please respect copyright.PENANAsRiDJRJaCl
Tech: “It was a good design exercise, don’t look too deeply into it.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAeICQZYoq8g
116Please respect copyright.PENANAEvn4VhkUo4
Flamma: “Softy.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAwv1tMf3Q1z
116Please respect copyright.PENANAhyjnpUcHWH
Tech: “Shut it.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA0EAnZUQL7X

Flamma: “Ha, jokes aside though, I have decline.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAP0KnXrnSZA
116Please respect copyright.PENANAKezj5hwx76
Everyone stopped what they were doing and their eyes widen.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAwjfT6r3eBo
116Please respect copyright.PENANARc5i13VtqB
Tech: “Out of everyone, I was sure you would be the most grateful. You sleep on hay for goodness sake.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANACU1o5ZH3Ag
116Please respect copyright.PENANAwqdGytbXY0
Siesta: “Why Flamma?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA4IyP0NfQ2d
116Please respect copyright.PENANAO4mWCkpsmO
Flamma: “Don’t get me wrong, I like the design and will visit. But…I don’t want to leave Louise alone.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAR406aoeKSx
116Please respect copyright.PENANApBfCvRE7B9
Tech: “Let me repeat myself, you sleep on hay woman. Accept the nice comfy bed, I won’t even ask for thanks.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAIBhpEWSb8U
116Please respect copyright.PENANAGrDdG6VzPk
Dove: “Does this have something to do with why you decided to be Louise’s familiar?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAi0LGnR7u61
116Please respect copyright.PENANAfVvMtnlgCO
Tech: “And getting branded like an animal, I might add.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAjGs04KNcEL
116Please respect copyright.PENANAJXHCxeDho8
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAPhyCSXQqeL
116Please respect copyright.PENANAW4VYzu7r6n
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAmvmRNWNxLf
116Please respect copyright.PENANAaWQ4erEMNn
Flamma: “Yeah, I’ll explain if you’re sure this place is secure.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA28DqumEovP
116Please respect copyright.PENANAjusZmAz5gz
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.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAiZxfMwsz28
116Please respect copyright.PENANAVSOTCeXSZp
Flamma: “Do any of you know of Void Magic?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAcfefaBYvRn
116Please respect copyright.PENANAhIOupiOMqu
Dove: “Unless it has something to do with Sithis or Namira, gods forbid, then no.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA7sIFNm3P4h
116Please respect copyright.PENANAKdWRowaUmD
Tech: “It’s magic so no.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAyVfkT5qFzw
116Please respect copyright.PENANAECOzc6agtj
They look to Seista who’s blankly staring at Flamma.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAFIveLGr46B
116Please respect copyright.PENANAofIdhJXTzE
Flamma: “You know, don’t you?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAu4NPKJ6UkD
116Please respect copyright.PENANAGXV1xS1rIP
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-”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA8Dz7awCAnn
116Please respect copyright.PENANAEwvORsaAPy
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.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAp7IBgoERWR
116Please respect copyright.PENANAlTc9QXrTH5
Dove: “Y-You’re surely joking.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA0LrGOtqgB1
116Please respect copyright.PENANAVUTQAFUIXq
Seista: “Is Miss Louise truly that powerful?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAiufZNLCajZ
116Please respect copyright.PENANA05cFm7RmyW
Flamma: “She can be. That’s why I must stay with her. To protect her from people who may deceive and use her.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAFI1HUr492X
116Please respect copyright.PENANA5kDzImcyai
Tech: “Ugh, I’m too tired for this crazy magical stuff. Debrief me later, I need some rest. But before I go, here.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAyHzwmhHGfx
116Please respect copyright.PENANA2VRSHl9lsD
Tech hands the three of them a steel rod with a blue slit down the center.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAQuLplMcDKN
116Please respect copyright.PENANARz22lBLR9M
Dove: “I’d rather a sword.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAHvBiMQGz8v
116Please respect copyright.PENANAU1HADcwIUt
Before Flamma can quip herself, a thin sheet of harden light shot out from the side of the rod.
116Please respect copyright.PENANADn7CnmUypN
116Please respect copyright.PENANAYO2NctjrWi
Tech: “Information is the most powerful tool at our disposal, don’t waste it.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAz0ZOKSdoXf
116Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2yfZWrdgg
Dove: “Why give us all of this information?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAlWX53PmDDd
116Please respect copyright.PENANAjcKKqdpVEV
Tech: “So what I will do in future won’t fry your brains. I’ll plan on putting whatever your Dwemer did to shame.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA9CN5rOP6AX
116Please respect copyright.PENANAaeYBfrKv6m
He winks before leaving for his own room to recover for the day. Meanwhile, the maid trio looked down at their data pads.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAJjzdESz1J2
116Please respect copyright.PENANAXsGG55upT5
Siesta: “How do we use this?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAIfCOlNNxw6
116Please respect copyright.PENANA0i8187KJvA
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAuNPxhxoZiC
116Please respect copyright.PENANAQczYAWfSEe
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANA1fXOztYX3O
116Please respect copyright.PENANAl8pUXAlJET
Aeron: ‘Her value just went up. If I’m lucky, I may even be able to steal this Void Magic for myself. But first…’
116Please respect copyright.PENANAssNPX541Lq
116Please respect copyright.PENANAohAI21dgGh
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAMn8t6nft9H
116Please respect copyright.PENANAbklOMAf3Wq
Tech slumbed forward a bit but catching himself. He shook his head before regaining his footing.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAYI2uYYNPQl
116Please respect copyright.PENANAhM5MsoSnyV
Tech: “Whoa, I might need this more than I thought.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA6lvgikAxSW
116Please respect copyright.PENANAvGuBfws90X
Aeron: ‘That’s one threat dealt with.’
116Please respect copyright.PENANAZrONMKvhVb
116Please respect copyright.PENANAWQtXvn4wmJ
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAGkIVzEVKyR
116Please respect copyright.PENANAU7r2rQ3ZEt
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAP2hVQg5lgO
116Please respect copyright.PENANA6gJgEebig1
Siesta: “Tech’s world is scary…”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAmfR1DzdwwV
116Please respect copyright.PENANAxMWD3SFVpi
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.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAyn0J7vbLNV
116Please respect copyright.PENANAu4Vo4GgFRn
Dove: “The way they wage war doesn’t bother you?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAIRFce69RsB
116Please respect copyright.PENANABHfC22oyAH
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.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAW0duPO7fOt
116Please respect copyright.PENANAk8x74ggkuV
Dove: ‘I wouldn’t want to fight hundreds of them though.’
116Please respect copyright.PENANA6tmYpnRR29
116Please respect copyright.PENANA6CySgeLijh
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAKWtlecsYni
116Please respect copyright.PENANAaQFntWuM5x
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?
116Please respect copyright.PENANA52BH1LAg5C
116Please respect copyright.PENANAj0QekGjeTm
So many scenarios raced through her mind and it only worsen her feelings of helplessness. She trusted her dear friends but…
116Please respect copyright.PENANAFKgB4eFLXv
116Please respect copyright.PENANALFhP2EnFmF
Flamma: “Siesta? You good?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAf2BlxrdU6X
116Please respect copyright.PENANARinvwIqAz3
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.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAi7xad8wEXg
116Please respect copyright.PENANA19N805OW0y
Flamma: “Good idea, I need to get back to Louise too. What about you Dove?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANASRg0clkujM
116Please respect copyright.PENANAhuenoaANd9
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.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAjUNMNebMWb
116Please respect copyright.PENANAoSinRQV4vb
Siesta: “…”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAXZVGFesc33
116Please respect copyright.PENANAg3SvZMDJLx
Flamma: “Alright, later Dove.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAAkapGUnZjx
116Please respect copyright.PENANAz9F7excegh
When Flamma and Siesta left, Dove got on the bed and continued to scroll through the data pad. Her topic…new metals.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAB24xW8X8mx
116Please respect copyright.PENANAATOWbtP4Om
Raskreia: “Jake, you following me around is not going to make me go plane hopping faster.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAMTEwJ3dAtD
116Please respect copyright.PENANAcNWDETBbzp
Jake: “Would a blade to the neck help?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAbiiruQRGts
116Please respect copyright.PENANAlkXxLHkrBh
Raskreia: “No, but you may try your luck if you want.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAqOqxtlR0Xu
116Please respect copyright.PENANAD1ZiIB4La6
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!
116Please respect copyright.PENANAiJVdkzG4gk
116Please respect copyright.PENANAHGh8hYSx24
Jake: “Ugh, makes me wish Guiche challenged me. At least I wouldn’t be so bored.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA9ozDbrn6ah
116Please respect copyright.PENANA2JTUk1wTnk
Jake: ‘You’re so lucky Zander is still around.’
116Please respect copyright.PENANA4PcfNIX4bs
116Please respect copyright.PENANA6sW7K3lZ72
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAbbSu7p5Wd3
116Please respect copyright.PENANAvjbiNwje2Y
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANApXffygZLRy
116Please respect copyright.PENANArXP99jkID7
Raskreia: “You could learn to socialize.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAkwSEc9xPXW
116Please respect copyright.PENANAst8xrM3oO8
Jake: “…No.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA4gTbNrWtFE
116Please respect copyright.PENANAFRyfbHsQw8
She could only sigh at the kid’s hard exterior.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAPxYJh690PW
116Please respect copyright.PENANAoOwHt5mtlj
Raskreia: “Look, I’ll start looking after I talk with Flamma.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAxkLcbXkeIm
116Please respect copyright.PENANAtYYS3OrGHv
Jake: “Why? What’s so important?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAXm8b3T9PQr
116Please respect copyright.PENANAzxhE2tMTYb
Raskreia: “Her true nature.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAHSIcIE2kyg

Jake: “A dragon or something right? What of it?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAGF5AxbhXn7
116Please respect copyright.PENANA0pnjJPQkOQ
Raskreia: “I have a feeling there’s more to her.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAHerbr9Be45
116Please respect copyright.PENANAN0McPhiJ9M
Just then, the door to Tech’s base opened revealing Flamma and Siesta.
116Please respect copyright.PENANA46LLu2zsee
116Please respect copyright.PENANAJYOTezkPL4
Raskreia: “Finally, hey Flam-”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAAzVcPMKHCb
116Please respect copyright.PENANAvRXSmIIxKk
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANA18zJePevDl
116Please respect copyright.PENANA5XPU0istlZ
When the flaming bullet hit the grass, everyone looked at Raskreia with a mix of confusion and outrage.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAeCvZ8dxS9Y
116Please respect copyright.PENANAO9vxh8pUA4
Seista: “Ah!”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAtvnRFCWh5H

Flamma: “The fuck was that?!”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAUbLuFTnTYx

Raskreia: “I sensed something.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAdN2ij9mxy9

Flamma: “What? An enemy?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAKBl3ZydIQu
116Please respect copyright.PENANAJBpkVB9Ew6
Raskreia: “I don’t know. It’s gone now but…it felt somewhat familiar. Like something from my world.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA9xUtfHN2ek
116Please respect copyright.PENANA4XLzqRHvr8
Siesta: “R-Really?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANABo7wtF28db
116Please respect copyright.PENANAFeLbFChrey
Flamma: “I didn’t sense anything.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAq8SnQcElKJ
116Please respect copyright.PENANAc2OtYqGAOh
Raskreia: “It’s okay, not everyone is as good as me at magical sensing.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAKpKfhn4t4u
116Please respect copyright.PENANAd4OiHJx8S3
Zander: “Is everything alright?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA5BeNYa87GI
116Please respect copyright.PENANAC1xzPJYelK
The girls turned to Zander and the ever present Kirche.
116Please respect copyright.PENANANiBIjjYkyQ
116Please respect copyright.PENANAsjIN5twN15
Kirche: “I should have known one of Zero’s familiars to be crazy. I thought it would be boy though.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAehuxIAZ4YE
116Please respect copyright.PENANAD7zE0N7fZq
Raskreia: “Watch it.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANArS0TEDdoaj
116Please respect copyright.PENANANtQq9sYVcY
Zander: “Be nice Kirche, I’m sure she noticed something we didn’t.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAXuRwqnIBSl
116Please respect copyright.PENANAmnOBPAc7tB
Kirche: “Something even you couldn’t sense?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAEIexseVNfS
116Please respect copyright.PENANAHGzjp2A1wJ
Zander: “I leave support roles to others. So, unfortunately, I’m not that good at healing or reconnaissance.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANALhFeIwvA33
116Please respect copyright.PENANA0eQJFH9ERM
Jake: “That’s good to know.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAJplQi76vMD
116Please respect copyright.PENANAWPc3phzU1J
Jake came up from behind and unlike everyone, he could see the snake making his escape.
116Please respect copyright.PENANASrEJuG1qQE
116Please respect copyright.PENANAQldJXt06Pg
Jake: ‘If she won’t help me, why should I?’
116Please respect copyright.PENANAiyHRRXkSDp
116Please respect copyright.PENANAArTzt9m0ar
Jake: “Rask, call me when you have a lead before start I losing it.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANANV84Ed4VQS
116Please respect copyright.PENANAIpibWklVV7
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.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAGGFwnpNk6o
116Please respect copyright.PENANADOOpo1mMvI
Zander: “Are you sure?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAmLWMYulnoj
116Please respect copyright.PENANAnGcSY1uICe
Raskreia: “Yep. But enough of my blunder, Flamma, got a moment to talk?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAhpNGePqji8
116Please respect copyright.PENANAfYhB7TIh5H
Flamma: “I’m on my way to Louise, we’ll talk on the way. See you tomorrow Siesta.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAI03WsgQyCt
116Please respect copyright.PENANAK5lZEnB9Em
Siesta: “Have a good night Flamma.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAheLDQFGcC1
116Please respect copyright.PENANArnKB63jDNg
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAB6BIh1XfnW
116Please respect copyright.PENANAivUI1RE46q
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAyvCWjaLvxA
116Please respect copyright.PENANA7LhKHov6ev
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.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAmEcSYDGFdd
116Please respect copyright.PENANAkToGaSNpkx
Louise: “How dar-”
116Please respect copyright.PENANALt5DdoIqLp
116Please respect copyright.PENANAmkIY695z3U
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.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAjzfx0p99Jn
116Please respect copyright.PENANA6daF5Km5SA
Louise: “But…how is this possible? Why are they two of me and why is she…like that?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAteW4UiK8J0
116Please respect copyright.PENANAYi2kItC5M9
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.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAxQGtrGjSzE
116Please respect copyright.PENANAMECF5oil95
Louise: “…Will she be fine?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA6Xmfv252Qb
116Please respect copyright.PENANAmn71kuAuT4
Bench: “She will be if I’m given enough time to work on her. Now, if you’ll excuse me.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAelzGLNFxxz
116Please respect copyright.PENANARVCvIbq9bd
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAnZkgh5CI2S
116Please respect copyright.PENANAygBtbDPuzu
The thought of giving into the sensation…terrifiedher. She wanted…no…needed to escape this feeling.
116Please respect copyright.PENANABXAkhn5fCF
116Please respect copyright.PENANAMjgfaqzGHB
Louise: ‘Where’s Aeron when I need him? Learning a new spell should help get my mind off this…’
116Please respect copyright.PENANA8GYGo3VL4z
116Please respect copyright.PENANAFzNX3Ii80u
But instead of the dark star, the sun instead appeared before her.
116Please respect copyright.PENANA3xC8Jx2EjG
116Please respect copyright.PENANA6V6Y2l5a1o
Flamma: “Hey Louise, we were looking everywhere for you.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA11Dub8ec03
116Please respect copyright.PENANABgdzuYAemL
Louise: “Flamma!”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAbNl1fhNteD
116Please respect copyright.PENANA0AHrXrEKYA
Louise quickly regained herself and pushed down her unexpected excitement.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAHLhlpE4HYO
116Please respect copyright.PENANADOh42pVE9A
Louise: “What are you doing here? Aren’t you suppose to be with Tech and the other maids?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAa77g6Fc6rP
116Please respect copyright.PENANAOBjZmBY7dV
Flamma: “Jealous?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAjk8OD37p4B
116Please respect copyright.PENANAW6RYlJOsVl
Louise: “N-No. Get over yourself familiar!”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA7JhIyqquKr
116Please respect copyright.PENANA9TNAq43QbI
Raskreia: “Oh, she got it bad huh? Understandable.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAgMBo35hrkE
116Please respect copyright.PENANAIE3Up4adEh
She whispers into Flamma’s ear.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAnwoFWkbsRr
116Please respect copyright.PENANApABH41SIQY
Flamma: “Shush you.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAXFgMcPVMrv
116Please respect copyright.PENANA2OEXzZeKkB
Flamma: “Don’t worry master, I was just learning somethings from my friends. I won’t leave your side for anything less.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAdCJB9JOwMX
116Please respect copyright.PENANAEbIDTkc5nX
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?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAjqeDAWtH4t
116Please respect copyright.PENANA6Kwex8oJ9z
Raskreia: “Buy me dinner first and maybe I’ll think about it.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA9dHSbDMNxe
116Please respect copyright.PENANAdV1Jb5mquS
That got Louise to fume red while Flamma giggled at how adorable Louise can be.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAco9bqzjlBt
116Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4eoxnCBzK
Raskreia: “Don’t be like that kid, I was just learning more about Flamma. Congrats by the way.”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAppITi3cN6x
116Please respect copyright.PENANAoKFqeaGZY6
Louise: “What are you talking about?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA5JCKySVKO2
116Please respect copyright.PENANASwm0euwZ9r
Raskreia: “You didn’t just bond with a dragon, but apparently one that was worshiped as a Goddess long ago. Nice job!”
116Please respect copyright.PENANA0zbuvcbGfo
116Please respect copyright.PENANARoMsjTJZmB
Louise: “…Huh?”
116Please respect copyright.PENANAYioxzztKXf

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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANARnjWeTzmqv
116Please respect copyright.PENANAyJCNmA27gA
Raskeria alone may be his equal. That’s not even counting Zander and Flamma. But Jake is interesting…
116Please respect copyright.PENANAFxyHRQ8t5V
116Please respect copyright.PENANA9VYMzmwlVh
Aeron: ‘He noticed but didn’t do anything, interesting. Maybe he could be a good tool for later. Speaking of tools…’
116Please respect copyright.PENANATI3pomuPDW
116Please respect copyright.PENANA0hVLU0KOOR
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAsW2fBBXyjS
116Please respect copyright.PENANALsmI6ZvYYc
Luckily for him, the pieces were already in place.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAHH9XzEOz4a
116Please respect copyright.PENANAKLzy2ShR9B
Guiche is probably bitter about his lose, a perfect mind to send over the edge.
116Please respect copyright.PENANA2BHsKGz70a
116Please respect copyright.PENANAdft2DDeHYI
Siesta was alone and vulnerable, a useful pawn and possible ally depending on how he pulls this off.
116Please respect copyright.PENANAIyzhf9NSYQ
116Please respect copyright.PENANAcjDV3rtr0F
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.
116Please respect copyright.PENANANtkC78JDFk
116Please respect copyright.PENANAsV2dt6w7nk
Aeron casts alter self so he looks like Siesta before making his way to Guiche.
