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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANA1XjYSnGY4M
109Please respect copyright.PENANA7R3seTlPUM
Dove: “You’ll get used to it.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANABZk4seFexS
109Please respect copyright.PENANAr83geAF6rD
Siesta: “The air too?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAS7yFPkTdar
109Please respect copyright.PENANAehcTbQj1D2
Dove: “Eventually.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAMqbmRBXhz2
109Please respect copyright.PENANAMeTnJq30Z5
Flamma: “I have to admit Tech, even I’m blown away by this.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAcvxYcnQxKC
109Please respect copyright.PENANAeyBTQzlnEr
Tech: “This is nothing. I’ve upgraded things while Dove was away.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0CQrgbyhT
109Please respect copyright.PENANAq5zfTfUbXd
Dove: “Raskreia did mention something but didn’t want to ruin the surprise.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAknrGVFAVb7
109Please respect copyright.PENANAoidUzL3VS1
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.

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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAONJAvL1kMg
109Please respect copyright.PENANAYKeLp0jKxy
To everyone but Dove, it was strange and alien.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAtTrkiK0Oif
109Please respect copyright.PENANAwZSNGFh3G4
Dove: “You sure you’re not a Dwemer?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAoptEJiuuNt
109Please respect copyright.PENANAknWQplJyn6
Tech: “Really? They had stuff like this?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAozoz8xPfPh
109Please respect copyright.PENANAcDvphWcE6a
Dove: “Yes, we still have to fight them if we delve into their ruins.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAOXrS3bMVVz
109Please respect copyright.PENANApuEge3VSHa
Tech: “Interesting, shame I can’t meet them.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANA8SvfmzdpD4
109Please respect copyright.PENANAG5ySVENq6Z
Siesta: “T-Tech, what is all of this?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAz6VW0KNreB
109Please respect copyright.PENANABSdzLCtbVD
Tech: “This…is the power of science. Something magic can’t replicate.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAbUqwvPRcWY
109Please respect copyright.PENANAevXr1iL4Xe
Flamma: “Flying autonomous Golems Tech, not that impressive. Your speed in making them is, but still.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAU9SPWcOgi0
109Please respect copyright.PENANA5J3SnGdgcb
Tech: “This is only the tip of the iceberg.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAh1OCQ10HsO
109Please respect copyright.PENANA3KhFSxjpAQ
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAaKc8Np1XQD
109Please respect copyright.PENANAccg1LgTs4x
Flamma: “Hey, are you okay?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAYzrXFSS5tm
109Please respect copyright.PENANAXA8dCzXBOH
Seista: “Oh no, did Guiche actually-”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAyhVuuF0ZAO
109Please respect copyright.PENANALFRWEPB0Rx
Tech: “Please, he couldn’t hurt me even if I let him. I just need some rest.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAhNGCGe8MCt
109Please respect copyright.PENANAwwBa7VlFjt
Dove: “Still don’t want me to heal you?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAXcdcU4fQsE
109Please respect copyright.PENANAjMMSZHwXQK
Tech: “Nope.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAkDFXf0PO75

Dove: “Suit yourself.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAhZlLTN3tGU
109Please respect copyright.PENANAFFaEC2j0sI
Seista: “Please Tech, if you’re really not well then you should let Dove heal you.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAZN1GnswaRb
109Please respect copyright.PENANAGQVBkEINF8
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.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANA8QqdnMSC4l
109Please respect copyright.PENANAHTxmiAZDBW
Dove: “Already?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANArF6JVluGLs
109Please respect copyright.PENANAC7OfP8edrn
Tech: “Like I said, easy.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANATQDMfWUSGT
109Please respect copyright.PENANA6CkpY1faOX
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANA1WmTJxEd6W
109Please respect copyright.PENANApWQohSsYqr
Tech: “So far I only made four. If the others want, and if they behave, I’ll make more.”

109Please respect copyright.PENANAmYJeggssd6
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAzZ0WHXvajF
109Please respect copyright.PENANAaf68DdFN5B
Tech: “If you have any requests then ask me or one of the machines floating around occasionally.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAqWakyNYygT
109Please respect copyright.PENANAg0PEwiRYSy
Dove: “I like it, thanks Tech.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANApL4xSKAvto

Siesta: “Is this really for us?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANABHiJlKLnO8
109Please respect copyright.PENANA5JpOLZhgYE
She says as she looks around the well-designed room. A room fit for a noble…
109Please respect copyright.PENANANw2hZJGipD
109Please respect copyright.PENANAgUWmH8BuNK
Tech: “It was a good design exercise, don’t look too deeply into it.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAyaCDTv78s3
109Please respect copyright.PENANACdBiK2iHR9
Flamma: “Softy.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAsEkukkfAqX

Tech: “Shut it.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANA6pIA4do9tN

Flamma: “Ha, jokes aside though, I have decline.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAk57EELr3hu
109Please respect copyright.PENANAIndaPg74mG
Everyone stopped what they were doing and their eyes widen.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAkrG3OdbZLD
109Please respect copyright.PENANAF5tkoXedmk
Tech: “Out of everyone, I was sure you would be the most grateful. You sleep on hay for goodness sake.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAagyGusKw7h
109Please respect copyright.PENANA6cIEupuFOX
Siesta: “Why Flamma?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAlWsBEEsAXA
109Please respect copyright.PENANAGlIY7id1a7
Flamma: “Don’t get me wrong, I like the design and will visit. But…I don’t want to leave Louise alone.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANADBZK9y2Mbz
109Please respect copyright.PENANAMNxGi9yS1d
Tech: “Let me repeat myself, you sleep on hay woman. Accept the nice comfy bed, I won’t even ask for thanks.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAsVVxJJADvq
109Please respect copyright.PENANAypD4uO1x4q
Dove: “Does this have something to do with why you decided to be Louise’s familiar?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANA9QyZLKpjt8
109Please respect copyright.PENANAyy7lxkgTie
Tech: “And getting branded like an animal, I might add.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANADBHTEV2Qx1
109Please respect copyright.PENANAY6mzE7eBAJ
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAhiiNzAlBgS
109Please respect copyright.PENANAip7tLRvavt
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAFUwjYFcbMa
109Please respect copyright.PENANAuqHNDQV11H
Flamma: “Yeah, I’ll explain if you’re sure this place is secure.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANARznHDeRXzw
109Please respect copyright.PENANAbGMFitKdNO
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.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAWaV97OKHVd
109Please respect copyright.PENANA0y8rDj5cyd
Flamma: “Do any of you know of Void Magic?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAW7S2G6pMnW
109Please respect copyright.PENANANokgNRAO8E
Dove: “Unless it has something to do with Sithis or Namira, gods forbid, then no.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAda3fT03viC
109Please respect copyright.PENANAHgVL8n7dv4
Tech: “It’s magic so no.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAt65VJGAIN9
109Please respect copyright.PENANAcTkXEDKhyD
They look to Seista who’s blankly staring at Flamma.
109Please respect copyright.PENANApIMEjGxIto
109Please respect copyright.PENANAacHaOmUJYI
Flamma: “You know, don’t you?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAMAboOru3lV
109Please respect copyright.PENANADeLlShF6r8
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-”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAEuklvltz8B
109Please respect copyright.PENANAL3k2F0umaR
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.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAoGf5MQjG3R
109Please respect copyright.PENANAJrAG6QTxbX
Dove: “Y-You’re surely joking.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAMmoRxsSuvH
109Please respect copyright.PENANAaFoPdyBJWL
Seista: “Is Miss Louise truly that powerful?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANA1q8AHPgsfC
109Please respect copyright.PENANAWor4ywd089
Flamma: “She can be. That’s why I must stay with her. To protect her from people who may deceive and use her.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAQUVc7MRuMF
109Please respect copyright.PENANAA6Gc4zfnna
Tech: “Ugh, I’m too tired for this crazy magical stuff. Debrief me later, I need some rest. But before I go, here.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANArKY8FWFOeY
109Please respect copyright.PENANAnPkC4NSL9t
Tech hands the three of them a steel rod with a blue slit down the center.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAo8SF1qO6Lx
109Please respect copyright.PENANAV9g2KIad4S
Dove: “I’d rather a sword.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAjf29RrdaOi
109Please respect copyright.PENANAPV6eoek2bR
Before Flamma can quip herself, a thin sheet of harden light shot out from the side of the rod.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAG1RzqqsTXu
109Please respect copyright.PENANAPxugkYt3EZ
Tech: “Information is the most powerful tool at our disposal, don’t waste it.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANA7soa4x6rqP
109Please respect copyright.PENANAWmBj5blOCG
Dove: “Why give us all of this information?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAVRCAFgVNs3
109Please respect copyright.PENANA9WoIFNX8sU
Tech: “So what I will do in future won’t fry your brains. I’ll plan on putting whatever your Dwemer did to shame.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAjd2qNLK32N
109Please respect copyright.PENANAsBIKZpWVTL
He winks before leaving for his own room to recover for the day. Meanwhile, the maid trio looked down at their data pads.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAORuZz6wUV3
109Please respect copyright.PENANAyJiSXNjjYE
Siesta: “How do we use this?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAEoA4PH5DQG
109Please respect copyright.PENANAx0Bu2E4ENa
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAKf9jzyi8Tu
109Please respect copyright.PENANASGi4kayk7K
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANA6dUQ1i33ei
109Please respect copyright.PENANA5bhSww3Edj
Aeron: ‘Her value just went up. If I’m lucky, I may even be able to steal this Void Magic for myself. But first…’
109Please respect copyright.PENANAQkbntxaGuo
109Please respect copyright.PENANAHiqVfG4kg9
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAgWgaMG5jld
109Please respect copyright.PENANAEYwk76r9KP
Tech slumbed forward a bit but catching himself. He shook his head before regaining his footing.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAFKsal2VycM
109Please respect copyright.PENANAIxuB7drwdO
Tech: “Whoa, I might need this more than I thought.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAWVAAIVpjVb
109Please respect copyright.PENANALizmkcz5wO
Aeron: ‘That’s one threat dealt with.’
109Please respect copyright.PENANAqTEUGuxEcu
109Please respect copyright.PENANASyVs0L41wE
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAuPJCNct1k0
109Please respect copyright.PENANAqn2205Ub2P
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAhG9aapQy4U
109Please respect copyright.PENANAM9xfhUFpQI
Siesta: “Tech’s world is scary…”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAbjZxwQh7QR
109Please respect copyright.PENANAPDK6nqRmT6
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.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAXkQFHG7dw0
109Please respect copyright.PENANAg9tdh0RuCA
Dove: “The way they wage war doesn’t bother you?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANA1MnkLZ1MXd
109Please respect copyright.PENANAdnTH2hIHBP
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.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAR3xICb98ma
109Please respect copyright.PENANA9cVtLtnIah
Dove: ‘I wouldn’t want to fight hundreds of them though.’
109Please respect copyright.PENANAbaCVkLY5o5
109Please respect copyright.PENANAvYIOyoIh9c
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAF6qtzyi7oj
109Please respect copyright.PENANAM57BxwufpQ
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?
109Please respect copyright.PENANAIjWMKV0cIv
109Please respect copyright.PENANAXqPmxSEAKt
So many scenarios raced through her mind and it only worsen her feelings of helplessness. She trusted her dear friends but…
109Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4D70Nyw6w
109Please respect copyright.PENANAo2HTRVUOU5
Flamma: “Siesta? You good?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAD9Ac6DTRwH
109Please respect copyright.PENANA08wXaC076k
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.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANA0w2lRGhJ5i
109Please respect copyright.PENANA9d8avqHlkW
Flamma: “Good idea, I need to get back to Louise too. What about you Dove?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAASKV8Lk3z6
109Please respect copyright.PENANAnwND5HYeYl
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.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAjNc5UjbHWR
109Please respect copyright.PENANAOADbjkBGgH
Siesta: “…”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAcRSRtA78gD
109Please respect copyright.PENANAKgHx74h7DT
Flamma: “Alright, later Dove.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAQbj4CynD9M
109Please respect copyright.PENANAwA51Xv0aTe
When Flamma and Siesta left, Dove got on the bed and continued to scroll through the data pad. Her topic…new metals.
109Please respect copyright.PENANARi4J4j2TpV
109Please respect copyright.PENANABtBHvs4SSP
Raskreia: “Jake, you following me around is not going to make me go plane hopping faster.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAnrDPdiZJRw
109Please respect copyright.PENANAwr3I2S8FCM
Jake: “Would a blade to the neck help?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAFJn2r3MymV
109Please respect copyright.PENANAzSNViQSCI5
Raskreia: “No, but you may try your luck if you want.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANASOPd0f1cLe
109Please respect copyright.PENANArlmxGkf5Oe
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!
109Please respect copyright.PENANAo1GXnk0CJ3
109Please respect copyright.PENANA5t3AUstgjN
Jake: “Ugh, makes me wish Guiche challenged me. At least I wouldn’t be so bored.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAZJanMlwzgR
109Please respect copyright.PENANAT4gDidThJA
Jake: ‘You’re so lucky Zander is still around.’
109Please respect copyright.PENANAYrcGATqPCe
109Please respect copyright.PENANAE4y5W0KUun
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANA5HrmODDXDt
109Please respect copyright.PENANA5rTxmcCKmD
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAblHUnHwWB6
109Please respect copyright.PENANADQkEfUs4Kj
Raskreia: “You could learn to socialize.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAndXP2zAJb2
109Please respect copyright.PENANAeaX2Yd4SkN
Jake: “…No.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAqt9h1voPVY
109Please respect copyright.PENANArH9aa7YUlu
She could only sigh at the kid’s hard exterior.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAGOOjZvct7E
109Please respect copyright.PENANA3if1j4KD35
Raskreia: “Look, I’ll start looking after I talk with Flamma.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANATaq9rpey83
109Please respect copyright.PENANAsIl7S3dBpV
Jake: “Why? What’s so important?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAHu7soQLI2e
109Please respect copyright.PENANAlWXP1tAEAz
Raskreia: “Her true nature.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAg9XWGT9dfP

Jake: “A dragon or something right? What of it?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAiLqfTRp7Vu
109Please respect copyright.PENANA08rvHIT9AT
Raskreia: “I have a feeling there’s more to her.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAMqkEahvL6F
109Please respect copyright.PENANArk07sthQE4
Just then, the door to Tech’s base opened revealing Flamma and Siesta.
109Please respect copyright.PENANA10PPDMCaw7
109Please respect copyright.PENANApxa6aqqXI6
Raskreia: “Finally, hey Flam-”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAFXOryUeW3i
109Please respect copyright.PENANAXVK7DW8u9s
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANABWILFfPGME
109Please respect copyright.PENANAlR2i9LcsHg
When the flaming bullet hit the grass, everyone looked at Raskreia with a mix of confusion and outrage.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAnAXKWdCtQ4
109Please respect copyright.PENANAqh48dpZBpV
Seista: “Ah!”
109Please respect copyright.PENANARxl6JrgxqQ

Flamma: “The fuck was that?!”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAcBZOYdGl5q

Raskreia: “I sensed something.”

Flamma: “What? An enemy?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAN4kJl9Ao8C
109Please respect copyright.PENANAShw8c3QSUM
Raskreia: “I don’t know. It’s gone now but…it felt somewhat familiar. Like something from my world.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANA1YnuxJkAWI
109Please respect copyright.PENANA7JL1pnBGtj
Siesta: “R-Really?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANA0Y8sBtaIDH
109Please respect copyright.PENANAI9cJfp8oNb
Flamma: “I didn’t sense anything.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAZk8bWMQ0ix
109Please respect copyright.PENANAOK31PWBTQH
Raskreia: “It’s okay, not everyone is as good as me at magical sensing.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAyUb2687rkh
109Please respect copyright.PENANALixRhFhFEW
Zander: “Is everything alright?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAOWMOVAZ6gw
109Please respect copyright.PENANAFg5wpFC2O5
The girls turned to Zander and the ever present Kirche.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAucljpay5p1
109Please respect copyright.PENANApfj9gveH9S
Kirche: “I should have known one of Zero’s familiars to be crazy. I thought it would be boy though.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANA4xvSFwlj7u
109Please respect copyright.PENANAwZp7Q3AjJv
Raskreia: “Watch it.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANACYiPs18naO

Zander: “Be nice Kirche, I’m sure she noticed something we didn’t.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANA7D4fuL265M
109Please respect copyright.PENANA9dffriTwQN
Kirche: “Something even you couldn’t sense?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANA9loO74L0uz
109Please respect copyright.PENANA6u2KQTJYli
Zander: “I leave support roles to others. So, unfortunately, I’m not that good at healing or reconnaissance.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANA6IKOrtDprL
109Please respect copyright.PENANAgjxQtZ61T0
Jake: “That’s good to know.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAI6xssp5ohc
109Please respect copyright.PENANA8zOJvd9eym
Jake came up from behind and unlike everyone, he could see the snake making his escape.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAHyKxDY8bCl
109Please respect copyright.PENANA1oKuMbmb6z
Jake: ‘If she won’t help me, why should I?’
109Please respect copyright.PENANAyoKIX5I8TN
109Please respect copyright.PENANApEobtwZgqC
Jake: “Rask, call me when you have a lead before start I losing it.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAFL66loRr20
109Please respect copyright.PENANAzyWCd6TbmJ
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.”

Zander: “Are you sure?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAg6pxF2F4dc
109Please respect copyright.PENANAFybED2erww
Raskreia: “Yep. But enough of my blunder, Flamma, got a moment to talk?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANA6qAJMi8PG9
109Please respect copyright.PENANAm3Bq2A427B
Flamma: “I’m on my way to Louise, we’ll talk on the way. See you tomorrow Siesta.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAdZcnVjBDt1
109Please respect copyright.PENANAkdOONLESQr
Siesta: “Have a good night Flamma.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAa1eWSsh5UV
109Please respect copyright.PENANAxPHJmV9Vso
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.

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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZTx6bR1mv
109Please respect copyright.PENANAg5zSRYejaf
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.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANABflf4Gxa8W
109Please respect copyright.PENANAUma2XKmrpl
Louise: “How dar-”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAj6ajXyZvNd
109Please respect copyright.PENANACaaHLuv66s
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.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANANcVPwPm31D
109Please respect copyright.PENANAhyzvvNDo16
Louise: “But…how is this possible? Why are they two of me and why is she…like that?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAmeb7RB8g8I
109Please respect copyright.PENANAaoD9BcZJSZ
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.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAGmtxAxlY5W
109Please respect copyright.PENANARBkhLV5xcW
Louise: “…Will she be fine?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAAqeFLV6l1b
109Please respect copyright.PENANAkfrkO7EXbg
Bench: “She will be if I’m given enough time to work on her. Now, if you’ll excuse me.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAlCwtyNgprd
109Please respect copyright.PENANAN4hYPsrYcm
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAMKmlXWFFny
109Please respect copyright.PENANAIbheoFHd0L
The thought of giving into the sensation…terrifiedher. She wanted…no…needed to escape this feeling.
109Please respect copyright.PENANApsZ4oyb2U2
109Please respect copyright.PENANA7BBU2pVYVz
Louise: ‘Where’s Aeron when I need him? Learning a new spell should help get my mind off this…’
109Please respect copyright.PENANACSYPuNVFKV

But instead of the dark star, the sun instead appeared before her.

Flamma: “Hey Louise, we were looking everywhere for you.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAewlMjuvdqe
109Please respect copyright.PENANAQufxYBkV3T
Louise: “Flamma!”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAsVJna7XSZM
109Please respect copyright.PENANAv8Uf1308lS
Louise quickly regained herself and pushed down her unexpected excitement.
109Please respect copyright.PENANA7XdVBuHO6v
109Please respect copyright.PENANAzmGgAS4HuI
Louise: “What are you doing here? Aren’t you suppose to be with Tech and the other maids?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAkvYPPmZRaG
109Please respect copyright.PENANA2vgajDBpqw
Flamma: “Jealous?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAIo912gouhK
109Please respect copyright.PENANASJvoF8FN7q
Louise: “N-No. Get over yourself familiar!”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAH2J8YkZH0k
109Please respect copyright.PENANAkXiWorE2VG
Raskreia: “Oh, she got it bad huh? Understandable.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANABb3IiheGb0
109Please respect copyright.PENANARkj7V17Knl
She whispers into Flamma’s ear.
109Please respect copyright.PENANATBT0H2hQdX
109Please respect copyright.PENANAnYBHwnhCOq
Flamma: “Shush you.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANACPNs26lrID
109Please respect copyright.PENANAyyX6Ai4A27
Flamma: “Don’t worry master, I was just learning somethings from my friends. I won’t leave your side for anything less.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANArBnBpm0aRr
109Please respect copyright.PENANA2WI1wjSyvK
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?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANA21nH0Wmtb5
109Please respect copyright.PENANAO58R7BJhMa
Raskreia: “Buy me dinner first and maybe I’ll think about it.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAYre7y1Evgk
109Please respect copyright.PENANAyvh5SdILKQ
That got Louise to fume red while Flamma giggled at how adorable Louise can be.
109Please respect copyright.PENANARAXWvkmAHs
109Please respect copyright.PENANACgNSg9aDXo
Raskreia: “Don’t be like that kid, I was just learning more about Flamma. Congrats by the way.”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAaOTusAMnIu

Louise: “What are you talking about?”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAuh7VcuvSYd
109Please respect copyright.PENANApFE8TWDykF
Raskreia: “You didn’t just bond with a dragon, but apparently one that was worshiped as a Goddess long ago. Nice job!”
109Please respect copyright.PENANAXDcTofF7Mq
109Please respect copyright.PENANAqxIn5gYb8k
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAvPGu12APHb
109Please respect copyright.PENANADdn7w1A7jW
Raskeria alone may be his equal. That’s not even counting Zander and Flamma. But Jake is interesting…
109Please respect copyright.PENANAoWYQTuR1JO
109Please respect copyright.PENANAyndpcic0mY
Aeron: ‘He noticed but didn’t do anything, interesting. Maybe he could be a good tool for later. Speaking of tools…’
109Please respect copyright.PENANAtmYhVERgo7
109Please respect copyright.PENANAfVbvfV1vxU
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAnDISmvnhUJ
109Please respect copyright.PENANAyN4tIvBbWn
Luckily for him, the pieces were already in place.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAL7SxqwgUKx

Guiche is probably bitter about his lose, a perfect mind to send over the edge.
109Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZJKV1eAOU
109Please respect copyright.PENANABrEE4howLb
Siesta was alone and vulnerable, a useful pawn and possible ally depending on how he pulls this off.
109Please respect copyright.PENANA0cIv2pzLvM
109Please respect copyright.PENANAZsc17mAsCI
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.
109Please respect copyright.PENANAR79MDwKhpA
109Please respect copyright.PENANAWtDAiqedwM
Aeron casts alter self so he looks like Siesta before making his way to Guiche.
