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.
141Please respect copyright.PENANAZKFBuYkiFL
141Please respect copyright.PENANA0BMBkcD9n8
Dove: “You’ll get used to it.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANA8yNpgMAY2I
141Please respect copyright.PENANADZ6pSYgxdS
Siesta: “The air too?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANA3ORqBISpnj
141Please respect copyright.PENANALF20I3X8wE
Dove: “Eventually.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAMBdsWmkNa3
141Please respect copyright.PENANAnZTKHl9gYO
Flamma: “I have to admit Tech, even I’m blown away by this.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANALs5VRqVbbT
141Please respect copyright.PENANAPL8upTZkqd
Tech: “This is nothing. I’ve upgraded things while Dove was away.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAGFGmWPktEO
141Please respect copyright.PENANAkKXGkJoDiw
Dove: “Raskreia did mention something but didn’t want to ruin the surprise.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAfEVJNoJQN1
141Please respect copyright.PENANAAdqht0v7ga
Tech: “You’ll thank her later.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAWrTpiqMZUy
141Please respect copyright.PENANAFErGMq8gex
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.
141Please respect copyright.PENANAOXs594iByG
141Please respect copyright.PENANAFvRtylSgdj
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.
141Please respect copyright.PENANAp0N3fHKZZV
141Please respect copyright.PENANA4cfPF0Pwua
To everyone but Dove, it was strange and alien.
141Please respect copyright.PENANAqtte0aZOnR
141Please respect copyright.PENANAY0x84M5Gq8
Dove: “You sure you’re not a Dwemer?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAKh03lFuWEi
141Please respect copyright.PENANAwgkuhrvXuL
Tech: “Really? They had stuff like this?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAzklJgunUCu
141Please respect copyright.PENANApbycxAdjYc
Dove: “Yes, we still have to fight them if we delve into their ruins.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAWco0zfveN1
141Please respect copyright.PENANAXBj9GFvzle
Tech: “Interesting, shame I can’t meet them.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAMaowOiAQNf
141Please respect copyright.PENANAFCcgbYvv4p
Siesta: “T-Tech, what is all of this?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAwE0rflu7Ba
141Please respect copyright.PENANA9JqxlH5xnJ
Tech: “This…is the power of science. Something magic can’t replicate.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAuwAZ20C5XS
141Please respect copyright.PENANAcA2BHFmSQX
Flamma: “Flying autonomous Golems Tech, not that impressive. Your speed in making them is, but still.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAjVQfNgwAMY
141Please respect copyright.PENANA4vsK2oWk5J
Tech: “This is only the tip of the iceberg.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAISN73NJflU
141Please respect copyright.PENANAlxk2dIHn2A
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.
141Please respect copyright.PENANA8wtRG4PWcH
141Please respect copyright.PENANAuFToLBBrd4
Flamma: “Hey, are you okay?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANACyJd3ub39C
141Please respect copyright.PENANAjiQkOH6YQV
Seista: “Oh no, did Guiche actually-”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAiGZkul34V2
141Please respect copyright.PENANAVepFZ3yl7Y
Tech: “Please, he couldn’t hurt me even if I let him. I just need some rest.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAV6O2xjFzti
141Please respect copyright.PENANAo4kGr51hyI
Dove: “Still don’t want me to heal you?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAxp8jIgxzEt
141Please respect copyright.PENANASHOrR5uO33
Tech: “Nope.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAVkGHjSELgQ
141Please respect copyright.PENANA6CcwiADHoe
Dove: “Suit yourself.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAUVO3rsNqXe
141Please respect copyright.PENANAzcRmvtywSJ
Seista: “Please Tech, if you’re really not well then you should let Dove heal you.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAcBkTem8bJm
141Please respect copyright.PENANALKylp0ZLCm
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.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAivXVrZIyIF
141Please respect copyright.PENANAqh4uiwvAOF
Dove: “Already?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAohEc943Knj
141Please respect copyright.PENANAGaSLnwnlzQ
Tech: “Like I said, easy.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAWUTK9BhwME
141Please respect copyright.PENANAhjx53Ie1yN
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.
141Please respect copyright.PENANAfmTH0ea2np
141Please respect copyright.PENANA1M3U48v1Jl
Tech: “So far I only made four. If the others want, and if they behave, I’ll make more.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAqbHVyq7WXT
141Please respect copyright.PENANA7MXF6dDr41
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.
141Please respect copyright.PENANAlxhiCTLJdi
141Please respect copyright.PENANAmWUur24j05
Tech: “If you have any requests then ask me or one of the machines floating around occasionally.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANA5Obpf7YfGH
141Please respect copyright.PENANAzTt6tjQ9ia
Dove: “I like it, thanks Tech.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAlnncfAdnqm
141Please respect copyright.PENANAohvgGoBDb7
Siesta: “Is this really for us?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAskCwfdCsrd
141Please respect copyright.PENANAZh4oB27BlL
She says as she looks around the well-designed room. A room fit for a noble…
141Please respect copyright.PENANA5iex605R44
141Please respect copyright.PENANAvzgbiMu5S6
Tech: “It was a good design exercise, don’t look too deeply into it.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAr6ofgoiMSY
141Please respect copyright.PENANABfyJW0GFZW
Flamma: “Softy.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAx4KntT2yXC
141Please respect copyright.PENANA9SxV1LO51i
Tech: “Shut it.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAR6Yw7lZdxw
141Please respect copyright.PENANAvnCjS31qiv
Flamma: “Ha, jokes aside though, I have decline.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANA5YFMg9FJvJ
141Please respect copyright.PENANAHostUfgibp
Everyone stopped what they were doing and their eyes widen.
141Please respect copyright.PENANANdgqZJMEz3
141Please respect copyright.PENANA6I6eyZd9Ug
Tech: “Out of everyone, I was sure you would be the most grateful. You sleep on hay for goodness sake.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANA1SLMjJekoO
141Please respect copyright.PENANAFDSsFTtxU8
Siesta: “Why Flamma?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAXP4grJeAgy
141Please respect copyright.PENANA6Wvq252K8a
Flamma: “Don’t get me wrong, I like the design and will visit. But…I don’t want to leave Louise alone.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANA1leFLqorcV
141Please respect copyright.PENANANdLrAV2Ezu
Tech: “Let me repeat myself, you sleep on hay woman. Accept the nice comfy bed, I won’t even ask for thanks.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAIfDR8DjKUZ
141Please respect copyright.PENANAghNUWXEHVf
Dove: “Does this have something to do with why you decided to be Louise’s familiar?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAkQNHtu53lf
141Please respect copyright.PENANAByFlVG2xnF
Tech: “And getting branded like an animal, I might add.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANANdDilGXa37
141Please respect copyright.PENANAImxjhTkD6X
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.
141Please respect copyright.PENANAR8AKbR3ZLC
141Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3072EQQfw
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.
141Please respect copyright.PENANARHWzZfEyEo
141Please respect copyright.PENANAsvu3DWA8hF
Flamma: “Yeah, I’ll explain if you’re sure this place is secure.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAKYWMvOSCl1
141Please respect copyright.PENANABqsX9UYO6K
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.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANA95fNMrvRIf
141Please respect copyright.PENANAHm0A2oXelf
Flamma: “Do any of you know of Void Magic?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANA3VPOT2ElEr
141Please respect copyright.PENANA2VPzQGTlFR
Dove: “Unless it has something to do with Sithis or Namira, gods forbid, then no.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAZbiq712eZ1
141Please respect copyright.PENANAWy7L2EJKTn
Tech: “It’s magic so no.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAmi92leP31d
141Please respect copyright.PENANAuzUo9GkniG
They look to Seista who’s blankly staring at Flamma.
141Please respect copyright.PENANAmSaXPZz8Jm
141Please respect copyright.PENANAezPB8V6igo
Flamma: “You know, don’t you?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAOdjJ1Ub3nd
141Please respect copyright.PENANASsmT8G5F7X
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-”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAiO6OJc9kqD
141Please respect copyright.PENANAlLwC5T6Kb9
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.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAw0GzVY0kX3
141Please respect copyright.PENANAFLhgEqyOJm
Dove: “Y-You’re surely joking.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAwpfnnhPMET
141Please respect copyright.PENANAw8xz79a3Eb
Seista: “Is Miss Louise truly that powerful?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANA78lKQv7E31
141Please respect copyright.PENANApTzmN1ICdh
Flamma: “She can be. That’s why I must stay with her. To protect her from people who may deceive and use her.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAcACbxgSKXr
141Please respect copyright.PENANAbvtCQ2z0cw
Tech: “Ugh, I’m too tired for this crazy magical stuff. Debrief me later, I need some rest. But before I go, here.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANA7MaMyGQiNC
141Please respect copyright.PENANA3g0PfUzvOW
Tech hands the three of them a steel rod with a blue slit down the center.
141Please respect copyright.PENANAjVlT9Vh1el
141Please respect copyright.PENANAf7Pa3bpWFr
Dove: “I’d rather a sword.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAjaRQaFsBmk
141Please respect copyright.PENANA11lGEpgYon
Before Flamma can quip herself, a thin sheet of harden light shot out from the side of the rod.
141Please respect copyright.PENANAXOTx1swgHL
141Please respect copyright.PENANAXnT7AAQ4er
Tech: “Information is the most powerful tool at our disposal, don’t waste it.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAMy2JoSKhcK
141Please respect copyright.PENANAcoXQ9QOwaB
Dove: “Why give us all of this information?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANA1OCkun92qg
141Please respect copyright.PENANAPjUPvcQQin
Tech: “So what I will do in future won’t fry your brains. I’ll plan on putting whatever your Dwemer did to shame.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANANH9DFINOjd
141Please respect copyright.PENANAj6j2mR1WZT
He winks before leaving for his own room to recover for the day. Meanwhile, the maid trio looked down at their data pads.
141Please respect copyright.PENANASJRM4Tc8Al
141Please respect copyright.PENANAdaSsZ7jmfw
Siesta: “How do we use this?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANA8RhMzWHA0G
141Please respect copyright.PENANAOChcweHsIL
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.
141Please respect copyright.PENANAVD7KpKJCDV
141Please respect copyright.PENANA8c7j8V7yxZ
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.
141Please respect copyright.PENANAO3Oz0crk2k
141Please respect copyright.PENANA9I4L9DzOMZ
Aeron: ‘Her value just went up. If I’m lucky, I may even be able to steal this Void Magic for myself. But first…’
141Please respect copyright.PENANAlXko2h7hlu
141Please respect copyright.PENANADKaoq45tJ0
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.
141Please respect copyright.PENANATJo4AKvMjI
141Please respect copyright.PENANAtDkrppmwGq
Tech slumbed forward a bit but catching himself. He shook his head before regaining his footing.
141Please respect copyright.PENANA0lzJleJX4L
141Please respect copyright.PENANAFRiPLdhJtG
Tech: “Whoa, I might need this more than I thought.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANARaXS5aX8P0
141Please respect copyright.PENANAfwqUFZEK10
Aeron: ‘That’s one threat dealt with.’
141Please respect copyright.PENANAaKKysaAtdK
141Please respect copyright.PENANAeQnL85EvOv
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.
141Please respect copyright.PENANAcEvBoaU0jl
141Please respect copyright.PENANALKGT3P6tRD
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.
141Please respect copyright.PENANALdcutacXmD
141Please respect copyright.PENANAfs8dF09Hbk
Siesta: “Tech’s world is scary…”
141Please respect copyright.PENANA2uTywU9O3b
141Please respect copyright.PENANAC0mmgTJelL
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.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAYPcErqxLqi
141Please respect copyright.PENANAADaBzyjMus
Dove: “The way they wage war doesn’t bother you?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANA1spSqWb4JX
141Please respect copyright.PENANAkPImrNbRVj
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.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANA6yEwnVHqKU
141Please respect copyright.PENANASZfrnMbb1z
Dove: ‘I wouldn’t want to fight hundreds of them though.’
141Please respect copyright.PENANAqBSLtX7cp4
141Please respect copyright.PENANASoxzRM4Qm0
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.
141Please respect copyright.PENANAmLWlTKaicK
141Please respect copyright.PENANAAnagIF6Hhu
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?
141Please respect copyright.PENANAjiB0eBJnhp
141Please respect copyright.PENANAUr5d6YhMrs
So many scenarios raced through her mind and it only worsen her feelings of helplessness. She trusted her dear friends but…
141Please respect copyright.PENANA9JxDhhT1Ue
141Please respect copyright.PENANAPCcFbgiXeS
Flamma: “Siesta? You good?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANA8FawJ34Z19
141Please respect copyright.PENANAL6HVqil27U
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.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAUdtUyZtqwZ
141Please respect copyright.PENANAODzK0PUoB2
Flamma: “Good idea, I need to get back to Louise too. What about you Dove?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANA7Immb9TD0y
141Please respect copyright.PENANAxu00cRYdH9
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.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAwJaWxR05Cw
141Please respect copyright.PENANAdcErpIsmjK
Siesta: “…”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAiBBNSPeSXD
141Please respect copyright.PENANAh7X4848JTz
Flamma: “Alright, later Dove.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAyWvEGFA4ny
141Please respect copyright.PENANAS4hbU4aM6E
When Flamma and Siesta left, Dove got on the bed and continued to scroll through the data pad. Her topic…new metals.
141Please respect copyright.PENANAAa6sdxqDCi
141Please respect copyright.PENANAHhsycauIri
Raskreia: “Jake, you following me around is not going to make me go plane hopping faster.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAu1EsNZFvY0
141Please respect copyright.PENANAmmKVRQJNqB
Jake: “Would a blade to the neck help?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAGWl4DZMLG5
141Please respect copyright.PENANAm5IdN8pzEh
Raskreia: “No, but you may try your luck if you want.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAyI0Vvrv7UY
141Please respect copyright.PENANA33OTxGK20u
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!
141Please respect copyright.PENANA2vMBn2zFMl
141Please respect copyright.PENANAbWDxo0Vsxf
Jake: “Ugh, makes me wish Guiche challenged me. At least I wouldn’t be so bored.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAgeGlXL8Jpm
141Please respect copyright.PENANAqoYQU1WA4D
Jake: ‘You’re so lucky Zander is still around.’
141Please respect copyright.PENANALH1AArglWs
141Please respect copyright.PENANAGO5t8IskNK
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.
141Please respect copyright.PENANAvKsGXHEvuF
141Please respect copyright.PENANAB9O9qZtOil
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.
141Please respect copyright.PENANATMdDPyCLVO
141Please respect copyright.PENANAYihWWdzOxt
Raskreia: “You could learn to socialize.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAbGtc6XlP9V
141Please respect copyright.PENANAGlvjuTjcUA
Jake: “…No.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANA0RiCg9ODd6
141Please respect copyright.PENANAQ05lGEURB9
She could only sigh at the kid’s hard exterior.
141Please respect copyright.PENANApP0RJY28sF
141Please respect copyright.PENANARZmGpi7wsD
Raskreia: “Look, I’ll start looking after I talk with Flamma.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAoSin1bDckr
141Please respect copyright.PENANAODl2k4mpLo
Jake: “Why? What’s so important?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAjcYYLkVuia
141Please respect copyright.PENANAXs0tF8TeLz
Raskreia: “Her true nature.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAsAGJBbGnCF
141Please respect copyright.PENANAR0Fj8rddCz
Jake: “A dragon or something right? What of it?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAr1A6dApiCV
141Please respect copyright.PENANAYskx7Wb8Op
Raskreia: “I have a feeling there’s more to her.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANA7CDQECNv8i
141Please respect copyright.PENANAx7Sym4fvSF
Just then, the door to Tech’s base opened revealing Flamma and Siesta.
141Please respect copyright.PENANAbTmtUeUkfn
141Please respect copyright.PENANAXFCV1OZoDO
Raskreia: “Finally, hey Flam-”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAo5LdsBsJDd
141Please respect copyright.PENANAYl5U9EjopP
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.
141Please respect copyright.PENANAKhpGrXQhaW
141Please respect copyright.PENANAy3t9wCC2iY
When the flaming bullet hit the grass, everyone looked at Raskreia with a mix of confusion and outrage.
141Please respect copyright.PENANAJDYCQ9ASPj
141Please respect copyright.PENANA9XFyJxTUe8
Seista: “Ah!”
141Please respect copyright.PENANACRoSXy06Kr

Flamma: “The fuck was that?!”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAwtxOU1VhDC
141Please respect copyright.PENANAhLkWjmKJ1d
Raskreia: “I sensed something.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANApP7Dj7ULcJ

Flamma: “What? An enemy?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAvgVOT1vTXT
141Please respect copyright.PENANArJOUUJIZWR
Raskreia: “I don’t know. It’s gone now but…it felt somewhat familiar. Like something from my world.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAYdJZw5yN8F
141Please respect copyright.PENANAr3nNUeAoDI
Siesta: “R-Really?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAEletyRMalA
141Please respect copyright.PENANA9o0ami1zQt
Flamma: “I didn’t sense anything.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANA772SrrPLkx
141Please respect copyright.PENANA0l0wNtQi80
Raskreia: “It’s okay, not everyone is as good as me at magical sensing.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAwgNHpSUg3L
141Please respect copyright.PENANAEGNXs6Qs8h
Zander: “Is everything alright?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANA8jIS9CAryq
141Please respect copyright.PENANAXC4bLMVcn1
The girls turned to Zander and the ever present Kirche.
141Please respect copyright.PENANA9cPkaIHJjN
141Please respect copyright.PENANAjD399eJfuu
Kirche: “I should have known one of Zero’s familiars to be crazy. I thought it would be boy though.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANARnRxRfmTTD
141Please respect copyright.PENANApADj30bTbD
Raskreia: “Watch it.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAlw4sexSzA0
141Please respect copyright.PENANA1wjB4mJH8R
Zander: “Be nice Kirche, I’m sure she noticed something we didn’t.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANATTLKJYxaXq
141Please respect copyright.PENANANgphNqiI5H
Kirche: “Something even you couldn’t sense?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANA6cN2ZXO3mF
141Please respect copyright.PENANAXtL5udiJ45
Zander: “I leave support roles to others. So, unfortunately, I’m not that good at healing or reconnaissance.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAheXKLm9IER
141Please respect copyright.PENANAFTGKOJj1R5
Jake: “That’s good to know.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANA3oesemHIIn
141Please respect copyright.PENANA8V9my9PMOU
Jake came up from behind and unlike everyone, he could see the snake making his escape.
141Please respect copyright.PENANAdYGZgI6qTE
141Please respect copyright.PENANArglRSLCita
Jake: ‘If she won’t help me, why should I?’
141Please respect copyright.PENANAxXiqLZIOdo
141Please respect copyright.PENANAmVkHFvfhgw
Jake: “Rask, call me when you have a lead before start I losing it.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAQxzoOkw9yu
141Please respect copyright.PENANAbXdWyqJ4t9
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.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANA4fIeOtakvN
141Please respect copyright.PENANAUMaAJ3KCQD
Zander: “Are you sure?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAu9hWfA6r6M
141Please respect copyright.PENANA48elZ70Cqa
Raskreia: “Yep. But enough of my blunder, Flamma, got a moment to talk?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAwcmxfsPja9
141Please respect copyright.PENANAXBoiIOUd0M
Flamma: “I’m on my way to Louise, we’ll talk on the way. See you tomorrow Siesta.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAqn2DQQVksM
141Please respect copyright.PENANA7zSCfikm9M
Siesta: “Have a good night Flamma.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAkpAF1TzInb
141Please respect copyright.PENANAwUMussOKiZ
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.

141Please respect copyright.PENANAyGj7E4pD9w
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.
141Please respect copyright.PENANAnL0fbW6KrT
141Please respect copyright.PENANArEphLDvN3j
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.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAeGmOlluPmw
141Please respect copyright.PENANAdXfYfA5yQX
Louise: “How dar-”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAqZBEL7MzdM
141Please respect copyright.PENANAH70Iz2dCgJ
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.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAf45OGk9sJz
141Please respect copyright.PENANAMy2LBBCod1
Louise: “But…how is this possible? Why are they two of me and why is she…like that?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAyxcHfOj7Pc
141Please respect copyright.PENANAMh5j2b6XQe
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.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAUe9hAAPiH9
141Please respect copyright.PENANAbfkW12q3rE
Louise: “…Will she be fine?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9C56BtbmX
141Please respect copyright.PENANAGjamzu2HzO
Bench: “She will be if I’m given enough time to work on her. Now, if you’ll excuse me.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANA2e1kQUGfH5
141Please respect copyright.PENANANvydfXcQ82
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.
141Please respect copyright.PENANAYCIBFdWOLp
141Please respect copyright.PENANABJameQqU6Z
The thought of giving into the sensation…terrifiedher. She wanted…no…needed to escape this feeling.
141Please respect copyright.PENANABEiyvse2h3
141Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ik6xo07NT
Louise: ‘Where’s Aeron when I need him? Learning a new spell should help get my mind off this…’
141Please respect copyright.PENANAIdouPIf1U1
141Please respect copyright.PENANAjGiKG1F4EX
But instead of the dark star, the sun instead appeared before her.
141Please respect copyright.PENANAvEpGp05EyX
141Please respect copyright.PENANAlGin4bkTYo
Flamma: “Hey Louise, we were looking everywhere for you.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAyBYqI4fi56
141Please respect copyright.PENANA6S5AAyhOvP
Louise: “Flamma!”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAfkk6yfrZvC
141Please respect copyright.PENANAiO3U40iD3a
Louise quickly regained herself and pushed down her unexpected excitement.
141Please respect copyright.PENANAT3TNEodZ8X
141Please respect copyright.PENANAkPn3I5MV8C
Louise: “What are you doing here? Aren’t you suppose to be with Tech and the other maids?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANApE3lbafiBi
141Please respect copyright.PENANA7mOndYDtfc
Flamma: “Jealous?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAaTMfpgJiEV
141Please respect copyright.PENANAHn81y1MGg6
Louise: “N-No. Get over yourself familiar!”
141Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZoTwkiVIX
141Please respect copyright.PENANAlXpbskPvVw
Raskreia: “Oh, she got it bad huh? Understandable.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANA0MgHLp902O
141Please respect copyright.PENANAxwO02n4W6h
She whispers into Flamma’s ear.
141Please respect copyright.PENANAyQd8jGSFZi
141Please respect copyright.PENANABrXQGWUor1
Flamma: “Shush you.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANApqtkUk6206
141Please respect copyright.PENANAc62K2ABZgr
Flamma: “Don’t worry master, I was just learning somethings from my friends. I won’t leave your side for anything less.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAUQcYKaRH61
141Please respect copyright.PENANAunDwAWSAkN
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?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAeqskAWaHMy
141Please respect copyright.PENANAKV4eRm02kp
Raskreia: “Buy me dinner first and maybe I’ll think about it.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANA19CMSLvB6j
141Please respect copyright.PENANASeqRf4sTyv
That got Louise to fume red while Flamma giggled at how adorable Louise can be.
141Please respect copyright.PENANAwtqomy7YaM
141Please respect copyright.PENANAcOsak09Dow
Raskreia: “Don’t be like that kid, I was just learning more about Flamma. Congrats by the way.”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAhNW3wEzWYw
141Please respect copyright.PENANA05SQqH8L3O
Louise: “What are you talking about?”
141Please respect copyright.PENANATUnZdMih7u
141Please respect copyright.PENANAxC58mCblDI
Raskreia: “You didn’t just bond with a dragon, but apparently one that was worshiped as a Goddess long ago. Nice job!”
141Please respect copyright.PENANAwluI0OWAWP
141Please respect copyright.PENANAJxLNvWpqhP
Louise: “…Huh?”

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.
141Please respect copyright.PENANASNxOhTxqau
141Please respect copyright.PENANAJd6USx0LuX
Raskeria alone may be his equal. That’s not even counting Zander and Flamma. But Jake is interesting…
141Please respect copyright.PENANAqfbmXAPDQE
141Please respect copyright.PENANAi7EePQ9zJv
Aeron: ‘He noticed but didn’t do anything, interesting. Maybe he could be a good tool for later. Speaking of tools…’
141Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4S37cNcc7
141Please respect copyright.PENANAcET6Qpum8v
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.
141Please respect copyright.PENANANggpYGsM4J
141Please respect copyright.PENANAdvBm2zXBll
Luckily for him, the pieces were already in place.
141Please respect copyright.PENANAenzZSGnlFj
141Please respect copyright.PENANAZbGR78xmJa
Guiche is probably bitter about his lose, a perfect mind to send over the edge.
141Please respect copyright.PENANAnI4P2hr08U
141Please respect copyright.PENANAyEVrrJfbKp
Siesta was alone and vulnerable, a useful pawn and possible ally depending on how he pulls this off.
141Please respect copyright.PENANAHD8NSaDlq9
141Please respect copyright.PENANAVcsAhNoEc6
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.
141Please respect copyright.PENANA3xt4vhEXAS
141Please respect copyright.PENANAL4g1eld0Ha
Aeron casts alter self so he looks like Siesta before making his way to Guiche.
