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.

186Please respect copyright.PENANAnYviFGQiVP
Dove: “You’ll get used to it.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAxh8SfnMBPZ
186Please respect copyright.PENANAVCBqyQyyCr
Siesta: “The air too?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAl48Leb7VzU
186Please respect copyright.PENANAit8UsDMcNX
Dove: “Eventually.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAh4EIxi2BTH
186Please respect copyright.PENANA0VPLGfudp9
Flamma: “I have to admit Tech, even I’m blown away by this.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA19wHJ10TOr
186Please respect copyright.PENANAFw97H4Jy21
Tech: “This is nothing. I’ve upgraded things while Dove was away.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAQsiukyTFAA
186Please respect copyright.PENANADCbIJ5SjBQ
Dove: “Raskreia did mention something but didn’t want to ruin the surprise.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANArnuq79hx1f
186Please respect copyright.PENANAMzGDeI3ic3
Tech: “You’ll thank her later.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAM8tYBbnRKe

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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAtcLLLNvec4
186Please respect copyright.PENANAKToTJt5343
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAcesKSJcIPX
186Please respect copyright.PENANAqFtCjlRZwb
To everyone but Dove, it was strange and alien.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAYFQdAqRICF
186Please respect copyright.PENANAJllwKAng6q
Dove: “You sure you’re not a Dwemer?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAl7NtONuv9a
186Please respect copyright.PENANAE2WpNqQVlO
Tech: “Really? They had stuff like this?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAW1x9xW1Jfw
186Please respect copyright.PENANAggIV6rMToq
Dove: “Yes, we still have to fight them if we delve into their ruins.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAfikbN29coK
186Please respect copyright.PENANAw5HMo1f6or
Tech: “Interesting, shame I can’t meet them.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAShVlLFMiFL
186Please respect copyright.PENANAkGgG93lCsD
Siesta: “T-Tech, what is all of this?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAcpk1zX2ufx
186Please respect copyright.PENANAebpmdMgF78
Tech: “This…is the power of science. Something magic can’t replicate.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAnpmDNRvRTU
186Please respect copyright.PENANAP8gfAfE3Li
Flamma: “Flying autonomous Golems Tech, not that impressive. Your speed in making them is, but still.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAvzYfzjQNk5
186Please respect copyright.PENANAs0AleUdgEQ
Tech: “This is only the tip of the iceberg.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA93s3kWrw9d
186Please respect copyright.PENANA9LfTcGKvl1
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAPVY8xQBkKb
186Please respect copyright.PENANAWDqLvutz0r
Flamma: “Hey, are you okay?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAFEI0AJLy84
186Please respect copyright.PENANA0GDYhHcYTU
Seista: “Oh no, did Guiche actually-”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAnmbhgz6DCg
186Please respect copyright.PENANAeybpE0T6o4
Tech: “Please, he couldn’t hurt me even if I let him. I just need some rest.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAlfNoWa7t2c
186Please respect copyright.PENANACqkVThRRZj
Dove: “Still don’t want me to heal you?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAFC0BNbInTu
186Please respect copyright.PENANAnU8yiuRpOF
Tech: “Nope.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAlZrWlcg6Sl
186Please respect copyright.PENANAupaRQ7ib0k
Dove: “Suit yourself.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANABirHUIwzuy
186Please respect copyright.PENANAkOgTAbVBNB
Seista: “Please Tech, if you’re really not well then you should let Dove heal you.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANApaYYetN9NG
186Please respect copyright.PENANAibiRqrbEgL
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.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAet6QVJnUYL
186Please respect copyright.PENANAtmOv6jtn45
Dove: “Already?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAiLbJ25WEkO
186Please respect copyright.PENANAbPDjtJXP4O
Tech: “Like I said, easy.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA03M9rEoijy
186Please respect copyright.PENANAffKB7vAZl6
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA0eZF6ts142
186Please respect copyright.PENANApGa0hZws4U
Tech: “So far I only made four. If the others want, and if they behave, I’ll make more.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA4fFn7Zfd7k
186Please respect copyright.PENANAYRhrW3v3RJ
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAwklgXIRX94
186Please respect copyright.PENANAsw7CVyBQpe
Tech: “If you have any requests then ask me or one of the machines floating around occasionally.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAVcJi1vd5dX
186Please respect copyright.PENANAaOxOgtycrd
Dove: “I like it, thanks Tech.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAbKfcw0IO7B
186Please respect copyright.PENANARaxafhdfNJ
Siesta: “Is this really for us?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAzgSRvhQijL
186Please respect copyright.PENANA3qcDYbLkQR
She says as she looks around the well-designed room. A room fit for a noble…
186Please respect copyright.PENANAJxAyOPGv6K
186Please respect copyright.PENANA3KkswxammE
Tech: “It was a good design exercise, don’t look too deeply into it.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANALHf6E3FYo6
186Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1rN1PKV5W
Flamma: “Softy.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA0jlRk9AWhB
186Please respect copyright.PENANArMYiCRLhqb
Tech: “Shut it.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA53esgadaLv
186Please respect copyright.PENANAW9sATkOFVq
Flamma: “Ha, jokes aside though, I have decline.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANACEHolcwA7M
186Please respect copyright.PENANAOrD2PdUaOG
Everyone stopped what they were doing and their eyes widen.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAg5PUdSkTW3
186Please respect copyright.PENANAW9sqfav7nu
Tech: “Out of everyone, I was sure you would be the most grateful. You sleep on hay for goodness sake.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAJewDCIRX73
186Please respect copyright.PENANAjIlPvqz4Wl
Siesta: “Why Flamma?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAsDBDRrteK7
186Please respect copyright.PENANAgX4aJnzpmE
Flamma: “Don’t get me wrong, I like the design and will visit. But…I don’t want to leave Louise alone.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAexHM2zZkrv
186Please respect copyright.PENANAXbakJLDEma
Tech: “Let me repeat myself, you sleep on hay woman. Accept the nice comfy bed, I won’t even ask for thanks.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAUQBca0ZVlF
186Please respect copyright.PENANAfPudZmJ67f
Dove: “Does this have something to do with why you decided to be Louise’s familiar?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANApIFq4wWJiv
186Please respect copyright.PENANAFRM0QM6mVI
Tech: “And getting branded like an animal, I might add.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAUwgRcx0wss
186Please respect copyright.PENANAELxI0C7ERc
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANArj0IEqeHV1
186Please respect copyright.PENANAdx5XWQL20G
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAd7B78YaQ6n
186Please respect copyright.PENANABvLS1cG5Lk
Flamma: “Yeah, I’ll explain if you’re sure this place is secure.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA7FzpaDHAHa
186Please respect copyright.PENANAYQlhGPRT5x
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.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAvVwdmwETGs
186Please respect copyright.PENANAJQv83cBPpF
Flamma: “Do any of you know of Void Magic?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA2UyvEfx7dR
186Please respect copyright.PENANAX6ke2yfkrg
Dove: “Unless it has something to do with Sithis or Namira, gods forbid, then no.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANApuSVtp0kQA
186Please respect copyright.PENANA28Tc5NGwCw
Tech: “It’s magic so no.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAUEAENIq0jN
186Please respect copyright.PENANAYXVh2Vkix3
They look to Seista who’s blankly staring at Flamma.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA9969NlXOlO
186Please respect copyright.PENANA3C082m4pi0
Flamma: “You know, don’t you?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAvzOTfqCzSU
186Please respect copyright.PENANAVTh96zJq1q
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-”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAaYBW6ovUGD
186Please respect copyright.PENANARJFygCfMp0
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.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAoaOWGIm1F1
186Please respect copyright.PENANApHWdEQg4sz
Dove: “Y-You’re surely joking.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA7iZ7yxlR0y
186Please respect copyright.PENANANy7wL74J9Y
Seista: “Is Miss Louise truly that powerful?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANANZsZy1c1QU
186Please respect copyright.PENANAf8O4MgVO1g
Flamma: “She can be. That’s why I must stay with her. To protect her from people who may deceive and use her.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAnF75bK6lvq
186Please respect copyright.PENANA3cNpcQr1j7
Tech: “Ugh, I’m too tired for this crazy magical stuff. Debrief me later, I need some rest. But before I go, here.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANANV4aZPc3ea
186Please respect copyright.PENANAckS7VL0C6X
Tech hands the three of them a steel rod with a blue slit down the center.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1hHuYDSjb
186Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ou0IpP66C
Dove: “I’d rather a sword.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAfsU2aSGuvb
186Please respect copyright.PENANAnTHDO4xKcM
Before Flamma can quip herself, a thin sheet of harden light shot out from the side of the rod.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAmK57wYmpYd
186Please respect copyright.PENANAQeSHOiM4wC
Tech: “Information is the most powerful tool at our disposal, don’t waste it.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAKNyTnrYG5E
186Please respect copyright.PENANANgQPD5PNBM
Dove: “Why give us all of this information?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAJJuwvm2okp
186Please respect copyright.PENANA6YxoqFwAZi
Tech: “So what I will do in future won’t fry your brains. I’ll plan on putting whatever your Dwemer did to shame.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAjWAUOmkGik
186Please respect copyright.PENANAubbZaOMWBe
He winks before leaving for his own room to recover for the day. Meanwhile, the maid trio looked down at their data pads.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAMbCcobDU59
186Please respect copyright.PENANALYIWBWRlT2
Siesta: “How do we use this?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAF4J9kIib2m
186Please respect copyright.PENANAjrzZfVPOm8
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA7CT880K7VY
186Please respect copyright.PENANAHM6AE4P9MM
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANASVenrX0UZr
186Please respect copyright.PENANAnsA4ZzScRv
Aeron: ‘Her value just went up. If I’m lucky, I may even be able to steal this Void Magic for myself. But first…’
186Please respect copyright.PENANA4TZbMyGN2P
186Please respect copyright.PENANAHJT60cBoot
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAlP6CuABmn8
186Please respect copyright.PENANAksaGzhBu7D
Tech slumbed forward a bit but catching himself. He shook his head before regaining his footing.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAMilUMqBqrh
186Please respect copyright.PENANAFVM1AFDyjo
Tech: “Whoa, I might need this more than I thought.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAEZ7wR07Xak
186Please respect copyright.PENANAIAojHZ2FW6
Aeron: ‘That’s one threat dealt with.’
186Please respect copyright.PENANAOoNFqbzqh8
186Please respect copyright.PENANAzQjybujkhc
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAU3WzVTGdwl
186Please respect copyright.PENANAQZTBoozs0B
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANASlcsHMXT0s
186Please respect copyright.PENANAwB0MsjXUkg
Siesta: “Tech’s world is scary…”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA9sg2c8pJD2
186Please respect copyright.PENANA9Jfrv48UfR
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.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA7nYYm6iRln
186Please respect copyright.PENANAURrT1MDOBa
Dove: “The way they wage war doesn’t bother you?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAipZKjCSS6D
186Please respect copyright.PENANA0n3qJSeOOb
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.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAQ79m924ZR0
186Please respect copyright.PENANAgaAIkPlQzn
Dove: ‘I wouldn’t want to fight hundreds of them though.’
186Please respect copyright.PENANAJydvHIr2Aq
186Please respect copyright.PENANANNyLGiBfsK
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAvaf40gI9dp
186Please respect copyright.PENANAd5od8w1nGO
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?
186Please respect copyright.PENANAH1nVfMlM8i
186Please respect copyright.PENANAP3WXvhwPAp
So many scenarios raced through her mind and it only worsen her feelings of helplessness. She trusted her dear friends but…
186Please respect copyright.PENANAO5YEfcMqye
186Please respect copyright.PENANAQoqv9ovjeQ
Flamma: “Siesta? You good?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA8RJvKM88XD
186Please respect copyright.PENANAHDFtTPddVz
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.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAdQr8BQYNeq
186Please respect copyright.PENANA9yRyQj6IKD
Flamma: “Good idea, I need to get back to Louise too. What about you Dove?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAB0Sindya7p
186Please respect copyright.PENANAEda2pKMLMi
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.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANATF0DOC6CC7
186Please respect copyright.PENANAqIuYME5cKc
Siesta: “…”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAKwnzlY5ReT
186Please respect copyright.PENANA6czhIxPxQe
Flamma: “Alright, later Dove.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAILxo6841Mi
186Please respect copyright.PENANA9KLGTNDt3p
When Flamma and Siesta left, Dove got on the bed and continued to scroll through the data pad. Her topic…new metals.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAmUpnGiky0Z
186Please respect copyright.PENANAh4j7GpJKul
Raskreia: “Jake, you following me around is not going to make me go plane hopping faster.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAv8kpj6Xasm
186Please respect copyright.PENANAlSs9oFV0UN
Jake: “Would a blade to the neck help?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAs8iMg5HOrI
186Please respect copyright.PENANAMmIFZGnwMe
Raskreia: “No, but you may try your luck if you want.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAoYUg92MUlq
186Please respect copyright.PENANAknzWTCFmG4
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!
186Please respect copyright.PENANALsMYlpab2T
186Please respect copyright.PENANAbgUsFxh0AR
Jake: “Ugh, makes me wish Guiche challenged me. At least I wouldn’t be so bored.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAypINGBvbVo
186Please respect copyright.PENANAPdZf3pibFO
Jake: ‘You’re so lucky Zander is still around.’
186Please respect copyright.PENANATeHO7qPiKs
186Please respect copyright.PENANAsFQLWLrXb6
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAvKmVIWQc7z
186Please respect copyright.PENANAXFYi9onEyQ
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAy2cEXQXlUI
186Please respect copyright.PENANAFAqYF0tbKc
Raskreia: “You could learn to socialize.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAY2YTndGUAq
186Please respect copyright.PENANA7EwXTRWLCv
Jake: “…No.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAcjV98j6b5U
186Please respect copyright.PENANAz2Xr57YweL
She could only sigh at the kid’s hard exterior.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA02iUvcrV5Q
186Please respect copyright.PENANAAuGIbwJMsb
Raskreia: “Look, I’ll start looking after I talk with Flamma.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAfqpd2AMOuy
186Please respect copyright.PENANACTHs6y3Wux
Jake: “Why? What’s so important?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAsGuATVvmnF
186Please respect copyright.PENANA7VKbmiCuod
Raskreia: “Her true nature.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAM9tWdwZyzP

Jake: “A dragon or something right? What of it?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAjPdEtgdaWe
186Please respect copyright.PENANAvrOdW1KIls
Raskreia: “I have a feeling there’s more to her.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA4xr6gYDQOM
186Please respect copyright.PENANAdkUwSYS3mJ
Just then, the door to Tech’s base opened revealing Flamma and Siesta.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAMIzNrpCt58
186Please respect copyright.PENANAmGJbQA8ijk
Raskreia: “Finally, hey Flam-”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAwyHdBFDCyb
186Please respect copyright.PENANAH9qU3Ftjb4
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANALIH2lJfRwb
186Please respect copyright.PENANANspvu70XaC
When the flaming bullet hit the grass, everyone looked at Raskreia with a mix of confusion and outrage.
186Please respect copyright.PENANApOBHDFZXoT
186Please respect copyright.PENANADlIQCAVS9q
Seista: “Ah!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAkNfYfLW80f

Flamma: “The fuck was that?!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAg5ILjg9POV

Raskreia: “I sensed something.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAAyF0CupWdX

Flamma: “What? An enemy?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAV1M98Ex7PM
186Please respect copyright.PENANABvwP8ZBCvV
Raskreia: “I don’t know. It’s gone now but…it felt somewhat familiar. Like something from my world.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA0uYVen6oVX
186Please respect copyright.PENANAt9UCTAzOYO
Siesta: “R-Really?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANARtM3QD5zin
186Please respect copyright.PENANAG18FL8Z1sn
Flamma: “I didn’t sense anything.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAlLuF3yUGvm
186Please respect copyright.PENANAD22qtUortq
Raskreia: “It’s okay, not everyone is as good as me at magical sensing.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAT68eQub2z3
186Please respect copyright.PENANAmNtYrx14Cn
Zander: “Is everything alright?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAOHV8nxOhG1
186Please respect copyright.PENANA0b7daTkWMe
The girls turned to Zander and the ever present Kirche.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAKVgcAxiTyH
186Please respect copyright.PENANAb4LgO6eSHd
Kirche: “I should have known one of Zero’s familiars to be crazy. I thought it would be boy though.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAEW4Q6xoyHi
186Please respect copyright.PENANAFeByN4OFhw
Raskreia: “Watch it.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAfHr4i7KbEU

Zander: “Be nice Kirche, I’m sure she noticed something we didn’t.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAhUOG7uedPZ
186Please respect copyright.PENANApaC8V4gt0G
Kirche: “Something even you couldn’t sense?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAPITLzAApOt
186Please respect copyright.PENANAa89VSigNJM
Zander: “I leave support roles to others. So, unfortunately, I’m not that good at healing or reconnaissance.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANALJHKq7aiAY

Jake: “That’s good to know.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAmYFPIkYIOt

Jake came up from behind and unlike everyone, he could see the snake making his escape.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAgj9SCRODho
186Please respect copyright.PENANABeTCeuwy34
Jake: ‘If she won’t help me, why should I?’
186Please respect copyright.PENANA4zGtWLesua

Jake: “Rask, call me when you have a lead before start I losing it.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAZWLzl02wbo

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.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAUpSO1fuvEv
186Please respect copyright.PENANAMTCA7IvaFH
Zander: “Are you sure?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAmB5PH8Ac0e
186Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZwTreLix3
Raskreia: “Yep. But enough of my blunder, Flamma, got a moment to talk?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAX2JjdjUwuE
186Please respect copyright.PENANAHeFSdTHaIg
Flamma: “I’m on my way to Louise, we’ll talk on the way. See you tomorrow Siesta.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAtnJglE6BiI
186Please respect copyright.PENANAbs2NAkopTc
Siesta: “Have a good night Flamma.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAZkhZL4Tm4c
186Please respect copyright.PENANAK95aicMTah
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.

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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAM3KCTG7FhH
186Please respect copyright.PENANAVIjekDsCEK
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.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA5FjcAnjIsH
186Please respect copyright.PENANAyy7uYqvfit
Louise: “How dar-”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAyrLYRl24q6
186Please respect copyright.PENANAjIH2dNqkIb
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.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA1sEtz5MDgJ
186Please respect copyright.PENANAThqAgnSJpp
Louise: “But…how is this possible? Why are they two of me and why is she…like that?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANASfwZIjt7C3
186Please respect copyright.PENANAopQ2FxcHPR
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.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAAiAjmRuvO6
186Please respect copyright.PENANArojWyExa4e
Louise: “…Will she be fine?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANADeGD0rg3gd
186Please respect copyright.PENANAPu4l2ThxhH
Bench: “She will be if I’m given enough time to work on her. Now, if you’ll excuse me.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAmnl2H4UfqE
186Please respect copyright.PENANAa6cktQh1PR
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA0AssxTTzO0
186Please respect copyright.PENANAL2K7OmyQvd
The thought of giving into the sensation…terrifiedher. She wanted…no…needed to escape this feeling.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA5TkCK3wVBk
186Please respect copyright.PENANAzbp7gUKUEG
Louise: ‘Where’s Aeron when I need him? Learning a new spell should help get my mind off this…’
186Please respect copyright.PENANAQlTHYSraUr
186Please respect copyright.PENANApZocNdHqj3
But instead of the dark star, the sun instead appeared before her.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAgt7d5SsY9S

Flamma: “Hey Louise, we were looking everywhere for you.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAMxYSV8zjzK
186Please respect copyright.PENANAsvCvTYDipn
Louise: “Flamma!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAcuj92yNW9U
186Please respect copyright.PENANAI1fwiR6f1V
Louise quickly regained herself and pushed down her unexpected excitement.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA7FnOSMSAY1
186Please respect copyright.PENANASM47kcHA0X
Louise: “What are you doing here? Aren’t you suppose to be with Tech and the other maids?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAOponNTS5lf
186Please respect copyright.PENANAgg6btEWekn
Flamma: “Jealous?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANABHEK8Zfqda
186Please respect copyright.PENANArHeVXtFTDU
Louise: “N-No. Get over yourself familiar!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA7WuDmoQ89U
186Please respect copyright.PENANA9k1ZoZ2j99
Raskreia: “Oh, she got it bad huh? Understandable.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAUxIMUPi88m
186Please respect copyright.PENANAfDGJcrGRAt
She whispers into Flamma’s ear.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAatMAUxcA7A
186Please respect copyright.PENANA6T6qRHEeKR
Flamma: “Shush you.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAnh24DSRRnm
186Please respect copyright.PENANAY20OKtdhEb
Flamma: “Don’t worry master, I was just learning somethings from my friends. I won’t leave your side for anything less.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAZFzg5KWt3x
186Please respect copyright.PENANAPJ7Fofah46
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?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANARFkjhomcHh
186Please respect copyright.PENANAQCUGZ7tze5
Raskreia: “Buy me dinner first and maybe I’ll think about it.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA5AS46gTBcD
186Please respect copyright.PENANA8wsuz36jGK
That got Louise to fume red while Flamma giggled at how adorable Louise can be.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAETLQhM8SG8
186Please respect copyright.PENANAi97weCHo9l
Raskreia: “Don’t be like that kid, I was just learning more about Flamma. Congrats by the way.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAYezezgwuKT

Louise: “What are you talking about?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA1Avo1wToDU
186Please respect copyright.PENANAMRgy4SESK0
Raskreia: “You didn’t just bond with a dragon, but apparently one that was worshiped as a Goddess long ago. Nice job!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAFxLL3ACuxe
186Please respect copyright.PENANAhCCTwTvsAU
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA5xrMwk9XGq
186Please respect copyright.PENANAKdSsQWQM9D
Raskeria alone may be his equal. That’s not even counting Zander and Flamma. But Jake is interesting…
186Please respect copyright.PENANAbDPhwTKj82
186Please respect copyright.PENANAlgbMHz4O2T
Aeron: ‘He noticed but didn’t do anything, interesting. Maybe he could be a good tool for later. Speaking of tools…’
186Please respect copyright.PENANALYn5NXVrKG
186Please respect copyright.PENANAKtEaC1SwpZ
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA0k24b3lIJE
186Please respect copyright.PENANASYTPY8kaFd
Luckily for him, the pieces were already in place.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA3eL7uXFu7W
186Please respect copyright.PENANAQAe44mbMR6
Guiche is probably bitter about his lose, a perfect mind to send over the edge.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAHQknAUwWjF
186Please respect copyright.PENANAaRLueofiTn
Siesta was alone and vulnerable, a useful pawn and possible ally depending on how he pulls this off.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAYFAHU5lBrm
186Please respect copyright.PENANA7OryBM7Sub
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAwdsNJRuScs
186Please respect copyright.PENANA0rrylhOzLs
Aeron casts alter self so he looks like Siesta before making his way to Guiche.
