Raskreia: “You don’t say? Makes me wish that I stayed.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAwS2RxWaNhC
192Please respect copyright.PENANA91rPzCm8Yi
For the last ten minutes, the courtyard tried to go back to some normalcy. As for Raskreia, she was sitting with Zander, Kirche, Tabitha, and surprisingly Jake.
192Please respect copyright.PENANA2nMwgLNOza
192Please respect copyright.PENANA3cmizmo2zX
He immediately jumped off his tree when he saw Raskreia appear. But before she can help him, she needed to know what the heck happened. Zander took up the task of explaining things to her.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAOl0bjDE83c
192Please respect copyright.PENANAi7n7TQdIwf
Zander: “I have a feeling things would have escalated even further if you were there.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAArhEboPFfk
192Please respect copyright.PENANAwKPIheGp8U
Raskreia: “Ha, you’re probably right.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAQZyvO36Vk0
192Please respect copyright.PENANAwfXQtwcWgr
Jake: “Alright! You’re done with the recap and learning who those 2 are. Can you help me get back home now?”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAOE707M1NMk
192Please respect copyright.PENANAQulPbbWxix
Raskreia: “Sure kid. What’s you’re world like?”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAtjS5H2aPc3
192Please respect copyright.PENANA5DgkiPZvo2
So Jake did. Not everything, but enough for Raskreia to get a good sense of earth. He refused to answer any of the questions Kirche may have had. He just wanted to get this done as quickly as possible. Raskreia did enjoy Kirche and Tabitha’s shocked expressions though.
192Please respect copyright.PENANA4vRTyIzKGu
192Please respect copyright.PENANAkvqUrMFBzr
Raskreia: “Well, I didn’t expect that. Considering your powers, I was sure your world would have been some, no offensive, hellscape.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAwBxYh06g7Y
192Please respect copyright.PENANAqndh3wNe27
Jake: “I’m not the norm and I didn’t…ask for these abilities.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAXi3km2disr
192Please respect copyright.PENANArPpONh4MFM
Raskreia: “…Understood. Well, your world does sound interesting. I can probably find it by asking around and using gate to move the possible candidates. But the time frame is still the same. You’re okay with that right?”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAIJRcGg4bNu
192Please respect copyright.PENANAKMUijiSx6E
Jake: “…Yes.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAUfhEW8bllS
192Please respect copyright.PENANArLIFsTYg5N
He says that he is boiling inside. If it wasn’t for Zander, he might rampaged to let off some steam. Jake ponders what he should do in the meantime.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAq9gkX9EbVw
192Please respect copyright.PENANA1WAYKsYEyW
Blackwatch was still alive. The virus was still alive. But Aunt Dana was also still alive. She’s smart so she could hack any system and expose Blackwatch and Gentek for their little dirty deeds.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAXw7YgDOAdj
192Please respect copyright.PENANAEEPuv9uWMg
Jake: ‘On the other hand, she could be found and killed…’
192Please respect copyright.PENANAHpPeWgABoH
192Please respect copyright.PENANA5tfTFcBFEj
Jake: “Damn it…”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAwxi2s74tjT
192Please respect copyright.PENANAqMtamtvg26
He whispered his frustrations as the situation further set in. Jake wanted to kill those bastards for the people of New York. For the things they did. But most of all…for his parents. Yet he’s stuck here until this woman finds his world.
192Please respect copyright.PENANABLfhcnR64T
192Please respect copyright.PENANAkB3MIFu2CP
A strange sensation snapped Jake out of his mind. A warm and gentle feeling at his sides.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAtkJl7sPJCT
192Please respect copyright.PENANAPcWitC0z4K
Raskeria: “Awwww.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAzbPI54baIw
192Please respect copyright.PENANAwivCGsU4bq
Jake looks down to see Sylphid…nuzzling him. Sylphid began purring, in an attempt to soothe Jake.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAMEAWml5YWp
192Please respect copyright.PENANA3pCfS2maiY
Jake: “What…is this thing doing?”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAPilck5Ccih
192Please respect copyright.PENANABkZxtSyGoj
Raskeria: “I think she likes you.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANA2XVpqWaFB8
192Please respect copyright.PENANAC3Ld8glXme
Jake: “Make it stop or I’ll make it stop.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAOUbsCx6nwt
192Please respect copyright.PENANA7nIFyeMR71
Zander: “Jake, Sylphid is not trying to attack you so there’s no need for that.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANA74N7UtdxC3
192Please respect copyright.PENANAjcmqi7W0vG
Jake: “I don’t care.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAcZe8IrWis2
192Please respect copyright.PENANAUflh2TvkuS
Jake got out of his chair and moved away from Sylphid. Sylphid didn’t follow but did look at Jake with…sympathy.
192Please respect copyright.PENANALbFTzTqcV4
192Please respect copyright.PENANAP2OL33aW9h
Jake: ‘Monsters don’t comfort and they definitely don’t need sympathy.’
192Please respect copyright.PENANAljeCx55sos
192Please respect copyright.PENANAhXJX2amkP6
Jake: “Keep that dragon away from me. When you get a lead on my world, contact me so I can go with you. Even if it’s a false lead, it might have something for me to kill.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAUmQE2JiwBn
192Please respect copyright.PENANAFHzxvK9fvV
Jake gave a dangerous glare at Slyphid before going back into the forest.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAgRqR2IpChB
192Please respect copyright.PENANA8f1TEnkPFl
Raskeria: “Tabitha, you’re dragon is cute but she might also be suicidal if she wants to cuddle up with Jake.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAouhUq4C5SO
192Please respect copyright.PENANA2HSuExQfny
Tabitha said nothing but took the statement into consideration. Slyphid interest in Jake is definitely strange.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAPWBockOmpu
192Please respect copyright.PENANAa1qzbSD1oF
Raskeria: “Well, before I go on that realm hunt I better get used to this place. Maybe meet up with the rest of the group. I’m really interested in meeting this Tech kid.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAzVM7FglB59
192Please respect copyright.PENANAebtNfFuMNa
Raskeria left the group and started exploring the academy. As for Zander, he still has to deal with Kirche.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAIrrin2MYnF
192Please respect copyright.PENANASxOmCbPD3M
Kirche: “Now, where were we?”
192Please respect copyright.PENANA0jKf8YP2JO
192Please respect copyright.PENANAq7R0NK9tye
She says while pressing her best assets against Zander.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAGXzT08d1h6
192Please respect copyright.PENANAro0InrbwTx
Zander sighs before answering her.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAr7avyYNOJx
192Please respect copyright.PENANA63G5P37J1e
Zander: “Miss Zerbst, I’d appreciate my arm back.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAktQMcuaVGZ
192Please respect copyright.PENANAFW9EUWLAxq
Kirche blinked when Zander removed his hand from between her great valleys. But Kirche won’t give up that easily. She curled her hair with her fingers, angling her body in a way that showed off her chest.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAEaMo3JQL2Z
192Please respect copyright.PENANAcQass3gyhf
Kirche: “Of course. My mistake. They say my family is the passionate kind. Burning hot, like the fires of the sun. Forgive me for my moments of…uncontrollable need. I will do my best to restrain myself around you. Until of course, you say otherwise.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAxjirjUOtBD
192Please respect copyright.PENANA9IXXK8N4mj
Zander: “Forgiven. Now if you’ll excuse me, I probably should check in with my own realm. I’m Raskeria and the others can handle Jake if he acts up.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAfThqeWcmxp
192Please respect copyright.PENANAXtDTjeB8nL
Kirche: “So you have gate spell just that woman? When will you be back?”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAsPvtfJuRVz
192Please respect copyright.PENANARs9jrTiEwj
Zander: “I’ll be back by tomorrow. I don’t want to miss the big fight.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAtbRWyCB1bn
192Please respect copyright.PENANA99FlkND8Ku
Zander gestured with his hand, warping space around his fingers. Kirche and even Tabitha were awe-struck by the portal. Non-euclidean shapes appeared within the warped space where light failed to penetrate.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAxRajGzjFgn
192Please respect copyright.PENANAbAyb9IiGSd
Zander stepped through the warp, disappearing completely into murky shadows. They seemed to grow within themselves like monsters trapped beyond a mirror.
192Please respect copyright.PENANABZsuM8o8Sn
192Please respect copyright.PENANAyrNhzYV2zf
Kirche: “Haaa, Tabitha I think I’m in love.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANALOVEmjyglE
192Please respect copyright.PENANA7cSYoN3W6e
Tech: “So you’re the one who accepted the familiar thing?”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAfn5ZRGcMVU
192Please respect copyright.PENANAgyuZ2PuMTZ
Tech just finished his repairs and fixed the glitches he experienced outside. Right now, he and the maid trio are in the nurse’s office. Tech is on the bed while the 3 girls are sitting around him. Only Siesta seemed shocked by the nature of his repairs.
192Please respect copyright.PENANA2GGLLPFJJe

192Please respect copyright.PENANAcRmlwEEhEb
192Please respect copyright.PENANAC91IMdzGE9
Flamma: “It’s not that bad. It’s not like I let Louise command like a dog. I’m not a masochistic.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAmjxxIsvvYj
192Please respect copyright.PENANAJ75L73CLEQ
While they debate over the ethics of the familiar system, Siesta is filled with worrying thoughts. She’s overjoyed that she made friends who are willing to fight for her.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAUsB1EkOOGY
192Please respect copyright.PENANACI3n3kYzJj
But she is also terrified for them. If they died for her…
192Please respect copyright.PENANAsZqCWiirsN
192Please respect copyright.PENANAZeK1V1i8l6
Siesta: “You shouldn’t have done that.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANANgOePYz33H
192Please respect copyright.PENANAAGYnpwtMlN
She says softly but it still got the three to pay attention.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAsTAojPBN17

Dove: “Do what?”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAO0T8nHWABa

Siesta: “Accepted Guiche’s challenge! It’s too dangerous!”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAASsmhyqr3j
192Please respect copyright.PENANAd4XM42RU0v
Tech: “Ha, dangerous for him maybe.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAx2QVDuJN9s

Siesta: “But…”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAg3nnAR1x75
192Please respect copyright.PENANA130Qifz86q
Flamma put her hand on Siesta’s shoulder and smiled softly.
192Please respect copyright.PENANA4hwtRS2cxa
192Please respect copyright.PENANAyvbKLBfvYA
Flamma: “Trust us Siesta. You’ll be pleasantly surprised if you do.
192Please respect copyright.PENANA56HMPshN9U
192Please respect copyright.PENANAyZEAdhTNKi
Siesta looked at her friends and could almost cry. They had no fear, only confidence that the fight could only end in one way. Victory.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAHhfwdhZA4f
192Please respect copyright.PENANAWc8JVu4xNY
Siesta: “Okay, I trust you.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAoA6j7EqPG8
192Please respect copyright.PENANAvoRsun4LF3
What else could she say in front of that?
192Please respect copyright.PENANA84tTfrBKWf
192Please respect copyright.PENANAkcv8aqk08v
Flamma: “Great. Now, I better check on Louise. I bet she’s going crazy by now. I also now have another great story to tell her.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAFGHXMR2MVU

192Please respect copyright.PENANAZq1vWNsJ0D
192Please respect copyright.PENANAmvr8KqX6qa
Tech: “Probably somewhere with enough room. Probably one of the courtyards.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAT4N6ademWs
192Please respect copyright.PENANAzqD9BPn0TQ
Siesta: “Then may I suggest Vestail Courtyard. That section of the outside area should be big enough and close to where you’ll…fight Lord Guiche.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANA2Kxa3mssd2
192Please respect copyright.PENANAJxJGYbPbfb
Tech: “Perfect. But please don’t call Guiche lord. Almost made me gag.”

192Please respect copyright.PENANAUgpJu2Cxei

192Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZMZ9LilWW

With that, Dove and Siesta left Tech for his final repairs.

Louise would have gone crazy from the boredom and maybe anger at her double. But her thoughts were on what her familiar told her.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAEUVWRffGgS
192Please respect copyright.PENANApQhYcBNEXT
Louise: ‘Otherworlds. Metal monsters. Wandless magic. It’s all so much to take in. I wouldn’t have even believed it if I wasn’t there for some of it. And I have a feeling it’s only getting to get more crazy.’
192Please respect copyright.PENANAC4JG5yNE4T
192Please respect copyright.PENANAet1wrab5LQ
Louise laid down after eating her food delivered by her familiar and a maid. But she still barely had the energy to move.
192Please respect copyright.PENANA8cdGRjuNZ8
192Please respect copyright.PENANAMokEAYFG44
Louise: “Argh! When I get my hands on that faker, I’ll tear her apart! I hate being stuck like this!”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAECUuU9V0Z4

“Do you need sssome asssissstance massster?”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAigUvY8XZBo

Louise: “Who’s there!? Familiar?”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAa7MDPnPZOz
192Please respect copyright.PENANAsrOBaUERUZ
“Ooooone of theeem.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAgPcw5aWknu
192Please respect copyright.PENANAiXv8AZCjki
A white snake slithered out of the darkness of the room and raised it’s head so Louise can see it.
192Please respect copyright.PENANArjxFLsOCAU
192Please respect copyright.PENANABQWoCQglY3
Louise: “Are you…like that dragon? How can you talk?”
192Please respect copyright.PENANA73XFyXjKXp
192Please respect copyright.PENANAtuW2JsgpgF
“My former masssster taught me to ssspeak.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAypOuUc4UsH
192Please respect copyright.PENANAIikTv8T7NA

192Please respect copyright.PENANAbRLnUNBJjE

“Oh yesss. I sssserved a mossst powerful wizard.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAlLYFdhi9ia

Louise: “Great, so I stole a familiar from a noble…”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAWJSTrOCpew
192Please respect copyright.PENANAx0QmYBfuup
Louise: ‘I should be glad that I have Flamma as familiar but I’m not. She’s just a commoner. This snake could have worked but he’s already taken…’
192Please respect copyright.PENANALqlZfmMOQT
192Please respect copyright.PENANAzsKqMooINr
“Dooont’ worrrry, my masssster died a long time ago.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAOnDC9R7Efg
192Please respect copyright.PENANAXVpfhkn444
That put some hope in Louise’s eyes. Maybe she can make this snake her familiar. Much better than that commoner.
192Please respect copyright.PENANATdosIfatBk
192Please respect copyright.PENANA3IqVjD0IMW
Louise: “Then…will be my familiar?”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAwCyB8HwtRE
192Please respect copyright.PENANACzweqkql85
For a while, there was nothing but silence. Louise was about to decide between forcing the matter or crying. Instead, the snake asked a question.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAKLDZztAqYB
192Please respect copyright.PENANAXwtTrk6gtp
“Do you haaaave the streength?”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAWS5ULgGElo

192Please respect copyright.PENANATQZS8ECArK
192Please respect copyright.PENANAmoBL5sNRHb
What seemed like a smirk flashed on the snake’s face.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAWyKCoalsfB

“Theeen yeees, I’ll beee your faaamiliar.”

Aeoron: “My naaame is Aeron, my soooon to be master.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAxoWI2kj3xs
192Please respect copyright.PENANATYi7fu9v3S
The snake did as he was asked. Louise used some of her remaining strength to sit up and take her wand from the snake’s mouth. The snake then laid on her bed, awaiting Louise’s next action.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAhPQE4rqAfj
192Please respect copyright.PENANAuorTY6mxPw
Louise: “Be grateful, you’re the second of my familiars. I will conquer the rest and then…”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAj2jwJwwhbO
192Please respect copyright.PENANAx9vEaueIny
Louise: ‘I’ll be the greatest mage in the world. No longer will I be Louise the Zero. Not when I have seven familiars at my beck and call. Two of which are dragons.’
192Please respect copyright.PENANAC1gqo2UtRo
192Please respect copyright.PENANAY4gA1EK7x8
Louise smiled and placed her wand on the snake’s forehead before chanting.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAVRQo8H4yA6
192Please respect copyright.PENANA7MKesVqzpB
Louise: “My name is Louise Francoise le Blanc de la Valliere, Pentagon of the Five Elemental Powers. Bless this humble being, and make her my familiar.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAGCV2y3V4Ng
192Please respect copyright.PENANAIzElQmviJ8
After chanting, she removed her wand from his forehead and stretched forward to kiss him.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAHnYCY8HFq9
192Please respect copyright.PENANAE2bzWI9IjL
After a few moments, a new and different brand appears on the snake.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAP73WqXLKlf
192Please respect copyright.PENANAsRYTGRRz82
Louise: “Now you’re my familiar. I’m the only one in the world with two. Soon, I’ll be the only one with seven.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANATKbcuBzVZk

Louise expected to fall right to sleep after performing another ritual, but instead, she feels fine. Better than fine actually. Almost normal.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAUPGhCnzokE
192Please respect copyright.PENANADUSqkqPfil
Louise: “I thought I would be tired after that.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANA1mKnO95ekc

Aeron: “I took the liberty to heal you of your affliction using a spell.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAncRvjUSB0z
192Please respect copyright.PENANAHi7ZTef4EX
Louise: “Really? Wait, what do you even know about magic, you're just a familiar."
192Please respect copyright.PENANAL3BvHxBDMh
192Please respect copyright.PENANADvdPRilCPO
Aeron: "I know a LOT about magic, I have asssisssted my former massster and learned the arcane artsss over the yearsss, if you wisssh…I could teach you."
192Please respect copyright.PENANApB7z9TKZLw
192Please respect copyright.PENANACgSujw9TQO
Louise was stunned, the possibility that an animal could learn magic was preposterous. Magic was Brimir’s gift to humans, not animals. That dragon was from another world so she didn’t count but this snake…
192Please respect copyright.PENANAFTb6Q01a4q
192Please respect copyright.PENANAQmDrLRDir1
Louise: "HOW DARE YOU!"

Aeron: “…Baleful Polymorph."
192Please respect copyright.PENANAakVkUYksnX

A flash of light illuminated the room as the spell did its job. Louise blinked, her familiar spoke something, and then the world went white.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAgJS0hAbnsK
192Please respect copyright.PENANAyec5kq6Unn
Aeron: "Ah, you're still awake, perfect"
192Please respect copyright.PENANAYwrKjrr3B1
192Please respect copyright.PENANA8Vwyu1Ausb
She didn't hear the voice as much as she felt it in her mind. The girl looked at her surroundings...and spotted Aeron, but he was different. The snake was bigger than she remembered, in fact, it was bigger than she was.

192Please respect copyright.PENANAguKwHvyKDE
Is what she wanted to say but instead only made a Ribbit-Ribbit sound. Looking over the room it seemed larger, that is until she spotted her reflection in the big mirror.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAKjChs1XVMY
192Please respect copyright.PENANA8pe7xKt135
Where she was supposed to be, was now a toad standing beside Aeron. She would have screamed but only more strange noises emerged.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAXAH4iC83gx
192Please respect copyright.PENANAeQVLA8jfHW
Louise: ‘W-What h-happened to me? Is this a dream? Y-Yes, a nightmare, it has to be a nightmare, I will wake up and all will be fine. Flamma will be next to my bed like this morning. She’ll probably have a crazy new story for me to listen to while I eat.’
192Please respect copyright.PENANAGvVKjnYtlJ
192Please respect copyright.PENANAWR1Uz0Ry83
Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard Aeron laugh.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAtIAhm3f11f
192Please respect copyright.PENANAqyGVdADf2x
Aeron: "Sss-sss-sss-sss, thisss isss no dream little one, thisss isss asss real asss it getsss. Asss to what happened, I turned you into a toad, and a toad you ssshall remain."
192Please respect copyright.PENANA9fB2PJIwMB
192Please respect copyright.PENANAGvFtXoR2kH
Louise: ‘Why?!’
192Please respect copyright.PENANApvLJasAGqM
192Please respect copyright.PENANAXBPJf4z4H6
She tries to ask with her mouth but only animals escape it.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAQYqn1mIRPL
192Please respect copyright.PENANAaO6x76sIR8
Aeron: "Don't try to talk, you can't ssspeak in your form. Itsss enough to think what you want to asssk. I’ll read it from your mind that way. Asss to why, I wasss hoping to teach you real magic, not the parlor tricksss your peers perform. Sssadly it ssseamsss I misssjudged you and ssso I'm now finishing lossse endesss.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAdSToyYVTBd
192Please respect copyright.PENANAt6j4otIpgu
Louise: ‘I will learn! I will learn! Please just turn me back!’
192Please respect copyright.PENANAGWsHmouhIH
192Please respect copyright.PENANAB6H1nMfy5n
Aeron: "I don't think you can, magic demandsss an open mind and a lot of concentration. You on the other hand are impulsssive and narrow-minded. I'm an excellent teacher, but even I have my doubtsss that my knowledge would pierce all of the falssse information that you were indoctrinated with. No, you will remain like this until you die."
192Please respect copyright.PENANARcYnP2SGAg
192Please respect copyright.PENANAm5zK3Vk0R5
Louise: ‘I command you to turn me back familiar!’
192Please respect copyright.PENANACpjdEOwra3
192Please respect copyright.PENANAl5XBRGVst0
Aeron: "You command me? The lassst entity who wanted to command me wasss a Merilith, a demonic general. You ssshould have ssseen the demons ssshock when I captured her, even now asss we ssspeak ssshe isss imprisssoned in my pocket realm, sssubjected to torture that would make Asssmodeusss proud. Itsss not easssy to break a demonsss ssspirit, but I will find a way, I have time. Ssso tell me massster, why ssshould I lisssten to you?"
192Please respect copyright.PENANAbSLrA8npFS
192Please respect copyright.PENANACAdVxvI8xy
Louise: ‘Because...you're my familiar?’
192Please respect copyright.PENANAvdrmkUUf0E
192Please respect copyright.PENANAhzFQT31kja
Aeron: "Goodbye little one"
192Please respect copyright.PENANA1dhYqkTDzj
192Please respect copyright.PENANAYS8QKkDb19
Aeron changed his shape back into his human form and started to meld into the shadow of the room.
192Please respect copyright.PENANA3RnOjZPsHV
192Please respect copyright.PENANAaqeT9EmC0b
Seeing that Louise began to panic. She had to convince him to turn her back, but how? She could not command him to do it, what else is there?
192Please respect copyright.PENANAi3Leuoj2V0
192Please respect copyright.PENANAol7ZPjXGNK
Louise: ‘Wait! You are presuming that I would not learn because of my prejudices, is that not the same for you? You told me basically that I should not judge blindly, so why not give me a chance to prove that I can learn?’
192Please respect copyright.PENANAq4kc9wrHNK
192Please respect copyright.PENANA7vwBSLArhe
Nothing, no reply came to her desperate plea. She collapsed on the bed, too tired to do anything. Her life is really finished. As cold reality starts to set in, Louise’s mind drifts to Flamma, her first familiar.
192Please respect copyright.PENANA6SUPkgsBGr
192Please respect copyright.PENANAPzWAo3I0M8
She doesn’t know why Flamma came to her mind. She didn’t know her that long. But…her presence was comforting. She accepted her when all other familiars rejected her. She brought her food when she was weak and even stayed by her side until her duties as a maid called for her.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAfNodDT0D9V
192Please respect copyright.PENANAz5fQZ5HEwq
But now? Even she wouldn’t want to be a familiar to a frog. Flamma won’t grace her with that sweet smile she gave while she told her story anymore.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAs7X1cTejyR
192Please respect copyright.PENANApXWeCU5Lxf
Before despair fully broke her, she heard laughter coming from the darkness that surrounded her.
192Please respect copyright.PENANA0iSLFY8KCm
192Please respect copyright.PENANAvOzFTzKZxe
Aeron: “Hahahaha, how amusing. Indeed you are learning. Threats and begging for mercy never pay off. The best option is to bring your foe to see things your way. Though we will have to work on your persuasion skills, they are somewhat lacking."
192Please respect copyright.PENANAQywJjDBDhO
192Please respect copyright.PENANADfBDNmCOMN
Aeron emerged from the shadows and snapped his fingers.Louise found herself back on the bed, looking at her hands.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAPxF5g67UDP
192Please respect copyright.PENANA6r1lZTeLPP
Louise: ‘I’m…back.’
192Please respect copyright.PENANAsINaVIajjI
192Please respect copyright.PENANASSpF7cn9vm
She smiled and let her tears flow freely. It was certainly a one-of-a-kind experience, one that she didn't want to repeat as long as she lived…
192Please respect copyright.PENANAZLinUmwmJs
192Please respect copyright.PENANAR5XbP9JIjN
After she got a hold of herself, she spotted Aeron, not as a snake but as a human.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAV5kRpqYgOI
192Please respect copyright.PENANAMjmYOA9xd4
He was around two meters tall, dressed in black leather armor. His head was hidden behind a hood and his face covered by a mask, making it difficult to see any facial features. He carried on his belt a black...glass?
192Please respect copyright.PENANARyPK6gOCb1
192Please respect copyright.PENANAlm6doX7ETf
There was also a long sword and an evil-looking dagger strapped to the belt. On his hands were long black gloves, with metal depicting the bones of the human hand and a lot of rings on his fingers. On his chest was a picture of a silver skull in a purple sun.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAY2lIDSviRx

Louise: "So, w-why can you use magic? A-Are you a noble?"
192Please respect copyright.PENANAjtijuCcZpe
192Please respect copyright.PENANA8QdG388CEp
Chuckling Aeron seated himself in one of the chairs in the room.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAbFIhuFYPhq
192Please respect copyright.PENANA5bm3hhioxI
Aeron: "Now we are getting somewhere. As I have mentioned my name is Aeron and I would appreciate it if you used it instead of familiar. To answer your questions no I'm not a noble and yes I am a mage."
192Please respect copyright.PENANAzolnKJLsc3
192Please respect copyright.PENANAI7fCjsQiO7
Louise: "But how? Nobility comes from magic. Unless…you’re not from this world. Just like the others.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANA7yeYyXTl2n
192Please respect copyright.PENANADjrdGxrWuL
Aeron: “Correct, but I’m not from whatever worlds they came from. Truly, impressive dragging us all here. 7 different worlds all connected to this one.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANArEZf6VXCD0
192Please respect copyright.PENANAb7xQ4JR8AX
Aeron: “Now, back to teaching you magic. First, let go of the wand. You won’t need it for my magic.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANA0enU0VFYlV
192Please respect copyright.PENANAVjELY8Kq8H
Louise: “So you’ll be teaching me what that Raskeria girl did.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANALnjRJrodVM
192Please respect copyright.PENANAaxCgt2TdFh
Aeron: “…Something like that.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAIfyPSlPL2q
192Please respect copyright.PENANAjFF3H8Emse
Louise: “Can I…really do that? I’m not from your world.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANATfhZq5geuT
192Please respect copyright.PENANA4dQYctYkPa
Aeron: “Trust me. Unless…you want to be a Zero all your life.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAirzA2EFoQZ
192Please respect copyright.PENANAYoDGDPmGvP
Louise: “NO!”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAxBH80OeebH
192Please respect copyright.PENANAsqkBZ8rtlL
Aeron: “Then let go of the wand.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAsqd9M72vPq
Louise looked at her wand, the wand that had been with her for her whole life. They’ve been through a lot, but it was time to move on. To bigger and better things. She let the wooden stick roll off her palm and onto the floor.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAkz15XmTilj
192Please respect copyright.PENANANCr9AqPXHl
Aeron then proceeded to crush it underfoot, sending its pieces across the floor. That part of her life…is now dead.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAAW8a4nAOG7
192Please respect copyright.PENANAQRlKSh32Ey
Aeron: “When I’m done, you’ll be able to do that binding ritual with a finger. Now…”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAcW0Cu9Vttu
192Please respect copyright.PENANA7k0I6dxv0E
Aeron snapped his fingers again and a book appeared levitating in front of him, from it a single piece of paper floated up to where Louise was.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAiJHjc3K1F3
192Please respect copyright.PENANAYEHgftpmeV
Her eyes were wide open at the display of power made by her familiar, it took a minute before she snapped out of it and took the paper that was floating in front of her.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAyEDmssiG6F
192Please respect copyright.PENANAoWfNo977sm
Louise: "Whats this?"
192Please respect copyright.PENANAbGfF42pf56
192Please respect copyright.PENANAyVxU9Tz8c8
Aeron: "Its a spell of ′Silent Image′, a nice and safe low-level spell for beginners. You will memorize the scroll and then cast it. Simple as that."
192Please respect copyright.PENANA0q7L94rRLA
192Please respect copyright.PENANAN7grFpCWfE
Louise: "...I...can't read these runes."
192Please respect copyright.PENANAEXTOPFRbOc
192Please respect copyright.PENANAfg1yqIQHpx
She was not happy about admitting there was something she was unable to do. But if she wanted to learn Aeron’s magic, then there was no other way around it. It's not like these runes were drastically different from those she knew. True, some were absolutely foreign to her, but mostly it was the unfamiliar way the runes were inscribed in relation to one another that made no sense.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAnPTAgEenXB
192Please respect copyright.PENANAVygqL8eMJ6
Aeron smirked behind his mask.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAvN8nMlBOhX
192Please respect copyright.PENANAqK3X1pcF9L
Aeron: “I will teach you how to read them, but before that would master be so kind as to tell me more about what you know about magic? It would save some time if I don't repeat what you already know."
192Please respect copyright.PENANAmB4YfRtQ4z
192Please respect copyright.PENANAz7CIgFIzsX
She thought about it for a second before she nodded. Louise sat up straight demurely, lifted a finger, and started explaining, proud as a peacock.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAZF3qbRno9u
192Please respect copyright.PENANAsLtg7qZ99R
Louise: "Listen, magic is divided into the five elements, Earth, Water, Wind, Fire, and the lost element of Void. The number of elements that a mage uses can be increased, and his class changes accordingly. A mage who can use only one element is a dot, ability to have two – makes one a line, being able to use three – triangle and four a square mage. Spells are also applied to the class. The spells from three elements are called 'Triangle spells'. Each time the spell class rises, the consumption of willpower doubles."
192Please respect copyright.PENANApGMSfsUoIy
192Please respect copyright.PENANAvDJY7uGoaB
After she explained her magic system she puffed out her chest and allowed herself a small smile. After all, the written exams were her strong side.
192Please respect copyright.PENANA10PhPnuojN
192Please respect copyright.PENANAq1jsh4LnCE
Aeron looked blankly at her before continuing on.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAUXKHP9mDcR
192Please respect copyright.PENANAyXfuiHRked
Aeron: "Okay, how long have you studied magic?"
192Please respect copyright.PENANAAm5t7GnPHJ
192Please respect copyright.PENANA1PKVtVXQtW
Louise: "Since I could lift a wand. I am a noble after all"
192Please respect copyright.PENANAEZBtDQ6RUs
192Please respect copyright.PENANAXudMfvTEAo
Aeron: "Very well, I will show you the spell and you pay attention"
192Please respect copyright.PENANAiLPHxyJsFo
192Please respect copyright.PENANAuYcBCORGWV
He spoke so she could understand him easily and memorize it.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAr7nenRDIft
192Please respect copyright.PENANABT42ASREPu
Aeron: "Silent Image."
192Please respect copyright.PENANA9vJjCWYUhW
192Please respect copyright.PENANA3iEWW41sVE
In front of them, an illusion of Professor Colbert appeared, his lips moved but no sound was forthcoming. And with a hand gesture, Aeron willed the image to disappear.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAO8rBOBMiI8
192Please respect copyright.PENANABqiUibvwSP
Aeron: "Have you memorized the incantation?"
192Please respect copyright.PENANAPSysCsxCrT
192Please respect copyright.PENANA6DY7klMxyq
Louise nodded.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAotL26elfno
192Please respect copyright.PENANAirl2WVMMCT
Aeron: "Excellent. Now from what I’ve learned from you and idle talk around this place, you should already know how to use your willpower. All you need now is to imbue your fingers and tongue with magic as you would do with your wand. You will feel a slight tingling in them, if you put too much magic it will start to hurt so be careful."
192Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9620Ygf6U
192Please respect copyright.PENANAQeEGBnPnFR
The girl nodded again and closed her eyes. After a few minutes of testing the spell in her thoughts, she took a deep breath.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAEOLYQf6nxO
192Please respect copyright.PENANATQAZicOKha
She opened her eyes and focused her mind on the spell, moving her delicate fingers she spoke.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAFcmOujBJOa
192Please respect copyright.PENANAc9dcRT4ZEH
Louise: "Silent Image!"
192Please respect copyright.PENANAi8V1J2w6XK
192Please respect copyright.PENANAPknzNtxnYQ
In front of her, an illusion of Flamma appeared and smiled at Louise. Tears began to run down Louise’s face as she stared at the illusion.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAaRomkKMOgs
192Please respect copyright.PENANAb4bK5DD826
Louise: “I did it…I cast…a spell…”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAbRcuyZmnme
192Please respect copyright.PENANAseEBPtj5qB
She continued to sob as Aeron rolled his eyes. But that roll instantly turned into a gaze of alertness.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAYd2xUjZl2i
192Please respect copyright.PENANA64Rg2tb0VH
Aeron: ‘Seems like the fun is over for now.’
192Please respect copyright.PENANAsY7asiKwTP
192Please respect copyright.PENANABsgZ4MFUkn
Aeron got up and dispelled the illusion of Flamma.
192Please respect copyright.PENANA6SoQqGIBPA
192Please respect copyright.PENANAKwMDA7WRqZ
Aeron: “Louise, I need you to keep what we’re learning from the other familiars and even the teachers and students..”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAPBSHJjVnF6
192Please respect copyright.PENANAlGvZ2Wfu3S
Louise wiped away her tears and turned to her true teacher.
192Please respect copyright.PENANA1rwb1mRNHT
192Please respect copyright.PENANAZOSGrQCuOX
Louise: “But why?”
192Please respect copyright.PENANA330YxXPA4W
192Please respect copyright.PENANAvG5SVL9cHe
Aeron: “The commoners among your familiars will be jealous. They may even want me to teach them. I want to help only you so that can’t happen. Let’s wait until your training is complete and then surprise them.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANANn40YP7F7k
192Please respect copyright.PENANABHbfPKl1mF
Louise: “I guess…that makes sense.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAdMZS6B5EQw
192Please respect copyright.PENANA0OXatrz2vD
Louise: ‘Shame, I did want to brag to Flamma.’
192Please respect copyright.PENANAkJGwzQbxWR
192Please respect copyright.PENANAjgyU9RN51v
Louise: “But why not the teachers and students?”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAShgjc9zRnx
192Please respect copyright.PENANAoG1dZ6Ald2
Aeron: “Similar reasons. This magic is beyond them. Wouldn’t want them to, I don’t know, ban me from teaching you.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANASzqKBS2UDV
192Please respect copyright.PENANACfEW54xgXv
Louise: “I won’t let that happen!”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAYIbU5luJ5k
192Please respect copyright.PENANA30Ap3Ipqre
Aeron: “Good. Now, I’ll see you later. When you’re alone once again.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAmWd6KuzE1g
192Please respect copyright.PENANA6YYNv24mZ0
With that, Aeron faded into the darkness of the room. Just in time for the door to open, revealing Flamma.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAoWU81cn7G0
192Please respect copyright.PENANAnVvxxJLkLv
Flamma: “Hey Louise wait until I…are you crying?”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAbaWQa4OJ6r
192Please respect copyright.PENANAcsJJRRr9TF
Flamma knelt beside Louise and looked at her with worry.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAutas2BQ47s
192Please respect copyright.PENANAkzQw7D542O
Louise: “No, I just had something in my eye.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANA4xejjSfODM
192Please respect copyright.PENANAwjGgww5STr
Flamma: “Are you sure? Nothing happened while I was gone right?”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAXCEsFFfU8E
192Please respect copyright.PENANAsIeWAWInEu
Louise: “No, I’m fine Flamma.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANA9p6jSm7dVY
192Please respect copyright.PENANALCaUTt3Agk
Flamma: “Oh, no familiar. What did I do to deserve this treatment?”
192Please respect copyright.PENANA5QNqm8ZoHk
192Please respect copyright.PENANABa3Z1r7PPO
Louise: “Hmph, you’re still my familiar. But you also have a name. It’s also much easier to say than familiar.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAeE8Z1K6tUU
192Please respect copyright.PENANApABUo98NyP
Flamma: “Awww, thanks. That’s probably why everyone calls me that instead of my first name. Anyway, I’ve got a new story to tell you.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAOvbKUFyoKq
192Please respect copyright.PENANAqhELFnJwy7
Louise: “Something else happened?”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAjL3wpoNvHr

Flamma: “You know it. You summoned some interesting characters.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANA9b4vOWgUiD
192Please respect copyright.PENANA6oz32KBCt8
As Flamma began to retell the events of the day, Louise couldn’t help but softly smile. Her life was really looking up.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAj5xMvlVXnN
192Please respect copyright.PENANAa03h5slqA3
It was almost time for bed but that didn’t stop Tech. He was determined to sleep in his lab tonight. The place suggested by Siesta was more than big enough for him to set up a Lab, HVSF(Heavy Vehicle Station Factory), COM Tower, and one landing pad.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAOxfFaaKwQX
192Please respect copyright.PENANAvksKcB5tU4
Tech: ‘And thanks to subspace technology, it can all fit in a small space and leave lots of room. I love science.’
192Please respect copyright.PENANAzqlFidHYTs
192Please respect copyright.PENANA9qefvNrKSm
He went to work by first getting out a Nanocube to construct the foundation to put his things on. Once the tiny bots were released they began to work the molecular structure of the ground into solid Granite Steel.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAis4LQEHytN
192Please respect copyright.PENANA23636vdNEd
Once the ground was stable and flat Tech got out another cube, this one all gray with yellow slanted lines. He walked over to the 50 by 50-foot pad and set it in the center before backing out. It was then the Energy Storage cube started its work.
192Please respect copyright.PENANANsqCx7DC6G
192Please respect copyright.PENANAsv6Ulxo1gt
First, an outline of the HVSF's supports began to show before filling in with steel beams. Next, floors were made followed by walls and grava-pads in the back. Then it made one sub-space connection floor to transport any number of vehicles in and out of this room and into another.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAiRqs5NEh9l
192Please respect copyright.PENANAeiYJn8EAx7
He proceeded to walk inside and type in a command to make another 50 by 50 overhang to his right and placed a red cube with black ripples into a open section in the console and got to work.
192Please respect copyright.PENANA4vLx7K1nOc
192Please respect copyright.PENANA31VeBgjdpH
On its right, a skeletal overhang folded out and stabilized itself before it began to fill in with another skeletal structure being the COM tower. The bottom where it would stand was held by many thin legs, holding cylinders with many tall rods. Some with blinking red lights.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAGO88kekyLf
192Please respect copyright.PENANAShS0MOFLR6
He then put in two last cubes. One green with a rectilinear black and yellow warning strip for Landing Pad. One white cube with blue spots for the lab.
192Please respect copyright.PENANA5iOHOY59K9
192Please respect copyright.PENANA9PE8hXAOT5
And after another 5 minutes, it was complete. HVSF on ground level. Lab on top. Landing Pad on the left overhang and COM Tower on the right overhang.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAVhFtEX4VUR
192Please respect copyright.PENANAUXslviSCcp
Normally a 50 by 50 spaced lab and vehicle station wouldn't be much. But that problem could be tossed aside as all the rooms are connected to a Sub-space induced area.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5vqQBSOez
192Please respect copyright.PENANASrFcmiOwfL
The inside was 200 feet and had 20 doors leading to 15ft living rooms, 12ft bedrooms, two different shower rooms, and a 10ft kitchen.
192Please respect copyright.PENANACoeL8uoYk3
192Please respect copyright.PENANASPGmNrPTXk
Then came the lower Sub-Spaced sections to the HVSF. This place had a grand total of 800ft filled with both ground and air vehicles. But that was the first 400ft. The rest was used as both a factory and repair station with crates, spare parts, a game room, and other things.

Dove: “The Deep Elves and they were the most advanced race on Nirn. Their machines still exist to this day.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAPbH1i5MCjS
192Please respect copyright.PENANAhmGBhggkHv
Tech: “Were? Oh, let me guess. They blew themselves up to kingdom come.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAwMnv3yEgly
192Please respect copyright.PENANAMHydFg5Oe9
Dove: “More like messed with the heart of a god and thus erased their entire race from existence in an instant.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAZkHOmTz1lF
192Please respect copyright.PENANAyBvdP9gwlJ
Tech: “…Okay, didn’t expect that. I’m assuming this was thousands of years ago.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAyoJGsRpAOe
192Please respect copyright.PENANA4HYML9mcKu
Dove: “Before you say it’s an exaggeration, don’t. It wasn’t that long ago and some elves do remember what happened.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANA68UdD07WgR
192Please respect copyright.PENANAr1D7BhGfvu
Tech: “…Fine, but I’m not taking your word for it. I mean come on, the heart of a god just wiping an entire species away? That’s crazy!”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAUy5xzGout8
192Please respect copyright.PENANA6HTjOodZa9
Dove: “The multiverse is a crazy and mysterious place. But enough about that, can I come in?”
192Please respect copyright.PENANA4FnrXKY3Do
192Please respect copyright.PENANATEIfgEtHmZ
Putting that crazy conversation behind him, Tech nodded and walked to the blue pad. Dove joined and they waited for the grava lift to kick in.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAZA65RW6Izn
192Please respect copyright.PENANAfDVGKqQIrY
When it did, it brought the due to Tech’s lab. He breathed in the air in it and sighed in joy.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAeX3GChs482
192Please respect copyright.PENANAdUtLx6hb7r
Tech: "Thank you lord for filtered air!"
192Please respect copyright.PENANAwQLrJKJwRR
192Please respect copyright.PENANAQX5PvFvLQ2
Dove: “This place feel…weird.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAj1e3jd4vCm
192Please respect copyright.PENANAGPWz3TLIB1
Tech: “That’s super clean air for you. Breathe it in and enjoy.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAVnRVPCzxhM
192Please respect copyright.PENANABhyWpDhRDc
Tech practically skipped to his most beloved thing, something he dearly missed. The TTACCOA or The Totally Awesome Command Chair Of Awesomeness.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAH5Hc4EAvOA
192Please respect copyright.PENANAfZ2Th7uUJ9
He soon sat down on the comfy leather. The chair can spin 360 degrees. It’s complete with holo keypads, security feed, games, blueprint makers, and total control over all Tech’s toys and so much more.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAPlLvHa2i7H
192Please respect copyright.PENANAUSDGukPrHC
Dove: “You look like you’re having fun.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAl5lcAxoGQL
192Please respect copyright.PENANAmgknSMhJUu
Tech: “This is my happy place.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAmiPDZ3eCX9
192Please respect copyright.PENANAKHAova15bD
Dove: “A chair?”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAQEEjnlp53A
192Please respect copyright.PENANAIFhv0lIeCK
Tech: “The most awesome chair you’ll ever see! Because I don’t want you sitting in it. This baby is all for me.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAzPjuPylTZf
192Please respect copyright.PENANAcy7xJTXEGB
Dove: “Don’t worry, I won’t touch your…baby.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANABdtWJDyh1V
192Please respect copyright.PENANAo7zoPMsCWk
Tech: “Good, because I sadly have to leave it. I need a Nano-Bath to further repair my body for the work ahead.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAl6qekeZcAs
192Please respect copyright.PENANACwrLZ3fw5z
Dove: “You know, I do healing magic so-”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAZCE30BDHCM
192Please respect copyright.PENANA8yPOQDozF3
Tech: “No thanks, I’m good. No offense, but I’ll trust science over magic any day. Besides, I don’t mind earning my health back through my own genius.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAyQxjfIffDj
192Please respect copyright.PENANAb1x8aoEEvD
Dove sighed before letting Tech have his way. He’s definitely the most interesting and strangest of the familiars summoned.
192Please respect copyright.PENANA2FoXOxHw5x
192Please respect copyright.PENANA8K45xyCI7i
Tech: “Feel to look around and marvel. There will be signs to show you around.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANA7y8VJ0bihD
192Please respect copyright.PENANA2oE90TvC0u
With that, Tech got up and wandered to the area where the Nano-Baths were. Dove made her way through the place, admiring the high technology.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAC0u1QAIN1F
192Please respect copyright.PENANAyQjDz3DiPi
If there was one thing that Dove didn’t like though, it was the aesthetic. It was metal and sterile. It made her miss the outdoors already. But as she visited the individual rooms, she had another thought.
192Please respect copyright.PENANADuzWMrhRHB
192Please respect copyright.PENANA5yu38wNFsZ
Dove: ‘If they can be customized, this would be a nice base for all of us. Secure, clean, and enough room for everyone. I’m sure they’d prefer this over sleeping outside or going through the trouble of teleporting home. Or in Flamma’s case, on hay.’
192Please respect copyright.PENANA6xrpOls4jx
192Please respect copyright.PENANAC8zhJcFdHw
Dove continued her tour of the various areas of the base until she got bored and returned back to the lab. When she entered, she heard a somewhat familiar voice.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAtSxcFk37Af
192Please respect copyright.PENANAKvPvnfOGpl
“What the hell is this?!”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAPAg6kn0zCn
192Please respect copyright.PENANA91DJFI202P
Dove: “Who’s there?!”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAchD8uOabR1
192Please respect copyright.PENANAALJFOvJMRw
Dove said while looking around for any possible enemy.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAFBhYX8LCM0
192Please respect copyright.PENANAI1fkFzrY4T
Tech: “It’s a sound transmission from outside Dove, no one is attacking.’
192Please respect copyright.PENANAWMAIWqQxNz
192Please respect copyright.PENANAlC7BvRJlbG
Dove turned to face Tech who looks healthier than before. He also has some strange armor over his body. The armor is dark green and black. He sat down and typed some commands to bring up a visual.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAMrVWCnHc3I
192Please respect copyright.PENANAnYoC0Gkogc
Standing outside is Raskreia who is looking at the screen with an interested look.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAyK5ZldSxmI
192Please respect copyright.PENANAF6W1YnkifT
Raskreia: “Oh, I get it. Okay, who built this? I swear it wasn’t the last time I checked.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAHsT4CVFIlU
192Please respect copyright.PENANAtmz4gPbGFN
Tech: “One of us?”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAHDGy3oy1hB
192Please respect copyright.PENANACXObLA9bbo
Dove: “Yeah, the one who can use the gate spell to go back home. She’s currently helping Jake first.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAfuGUWUPiRr
192Please respect copyright.PENANA25zrjOTwSD
Tech: “Really? I was sure she tricked everyone and left on her own. Well, let’s go greet her.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAzzaP5FxM86
192Please respect copyright.PENANAE7MXcG5On1
The duo exited the lab and went back to the grava lift. It took no time to get back to the surface and greet Raskreia.
192Please respect copyright.PENANA6XogUaQmgS
192Please respect copyright.PENANACCjeOEm90t
Raskreia: “Whoa, aren’t that sick kid from back then?”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAiTiljM5XUo
192Please respect copyright.PENANA07psu0Cs68
Tech: “Yeah, I got better.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAR0z59KfLxf
192Please respect copyright.PENANAZmjmlL32Jw
Raskreia: “I see, and who is this?”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAMAR02rRE7E
192Please respect copyright.PENANASUHs61oKPg
Dove: “I’m Dovahkiin. Call me Dove when I’m in this form.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANA3vo1heERF7
192Please respect copyright.PENANAjkV85DoOIs
Raskreia: “No way, really? Zander didn’t mention that. Does that mean you’re undercover or something?”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAvwK0AKoFOC
192Please respect copyright.PENANALn2gunx6JA
Dove: “Something like that, I’ll tell you on the way. Come in.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANADa594osPPB
192Please respect copyright.PENANAETE5BjDTGP
Tech: “You know, it should be me inviting her in. This is my base after all.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAwccS49Qfon
192Please respect copyright.PENANALCGoLKdKA9
Dove: “Can she come in?”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAd41MkfBWBX
192Please respect copyright.PENANAjFC9CCIvk9
Tech: “I didn’t say she couldn’t. Just…come on.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANASpygKf33p1
192Please respect copyright.PENANAAoKb6CwEeL
The trio went back inside and headed toward the lab. Dove filled Rask in on their situation.
192Please respect copyright.PENANAlbwtn5cdsc
192Please respect copyright.PENANAL82HD8SSWE
Raskreia: “Wow, I probably shouldn’t leave then. The next time I come back, the entire country might be in flames.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAzYPTdqz19B
192Please respect copyright.PENANAR6L53eE3Pw
Raskreia: ‘I probably shouldn’t reveal my true form either. These people would go nuts!’
192Please respect copyright.PENANAq17PbEjxgG
192Please respect copyright.PENANAJSvOVzFySE
Dove: “No need to worry about that, I wouldn’t let it happen. I have a 100% success rate in saving the world.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAs0cXGSPlD1
192Please respect copyright.PENANAYi0zFwpG8t
Tech: “Well, since you’re here make yourself a home and marvel at my creations. It’s going to get even more amazing tomorrow.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAzQkOW2IyTY
192Please respect copyright.PENANALsWPG7TRyD
Raskreia: “Yeah, the fight. I’m so there for it. But it’s interesting that you just let me hang around your base without supervision.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAoeE8AmkpVJ
192Please respect copyright.PENANAUP0ObfGMVg
Tech: “Oh don’t worry, I have systems in place in case you’re feeling suicidal.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANA8Hr8kJPxXE
192Please respect copyright.PENANAxhYyktJfDw
Raskreia: “Ha, I like you kid. I’ll think stick around then.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAkZoyFLl2zb
192Please respect copyright.PENANAv0dmgP0LTT
Tech: “Fine, pick a room and-”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAvNH2dydnjn
192Please respect copyright.PENANAPLtcMLwpM1
Dove: “Speaking of, can we customize them? They are kind of plain as is.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAl0HEmdXUx9
192Please respect copyright.PENANAQyhWpo3PSU
Tech: “Easy, but can we save it for tomorrow? Even I need rest.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAxr5i01N31a
192Please respect copyright.PENANAWvNLTMpDYy
Dove: “Sure. After I show Raskreia to the living rooms, I’ll probably have to leave and fly around the academy. I wouldn’t want people to worry that a large dragon is missing and on the loose.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAAMiNEuesee
192Please respect copyright.PENANADQ2byYiOXl
Raskreia: “That must suck. You’ll probably have to sleep on the roof then.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAnWs2x0nWo3
192Please respect copyright.PENANAza6xVcf8iT
Dove: “I’m sure it won’t be so bad.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAeg0mDbcV4Y
192Please respect copyright.PENANARHopyWjAP6
Dove: ‘Great, just when I found an actual bed to sleep in…’
192Please respect copyright.PENANAJH4ph06MwQ
192Please respect copyright.PENANAosuUHvkUfE
Tech: “I’m actually curious about your dragon form. I’ll walk out with you when you’re ready.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANAPUusCnxCBN
192Please respect copyright.PENANA0bSzxU53JD
Dove: “Alright.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANA90EAM0B7Q5
192Please respect copyright.PENANAYR5Qsejd4p
So Dove showed Raskreia to one of the living rooms and she proceeded to flop on the bed. Leaving her to get comfortable, the duo left the base for the surface.
192Please respect copyright.PENANA8SjONq9So0
192Please respect copyright.PENANAQjrVQ2S4MC
Dove got a good distance away from before using her dragon aspect shout to transform into a dragon. She then took off and flew around the academy.
192Please respect copyright.PENANA49EYPuPFq6
192Please respect copyright.PENANAf51WpCvzo0
Tech: “Fine, I’ll admit that transforming into a dragon is cool and beyond what I’m capable of. I mean I could make a mechanical dragon. Note to self, post that as a future project and pit it against Dove.”
192Please respect copyright.PENANA5MP53SUSI0
192Please respect copyright.PENANAeeTxV4vJY8
With that, Tech went back into his lab to finish a few preparations for tomorrow. And then finally getting a good night’s sleep.
