Raskreia: “You don’t say? Makes me wish that I stayed.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAFYbupeSpfm
452Please respect copyright.PENANACd3HY11Jmf
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAuzeIE83hII
452Please respect copyright.PENANAG9EVjiXfIS
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANATQfrq9K0E9
452Please respect copyright.PENANAwidKUzVMB1
Zander: “I have a feeling things would have escalated even further if you were there.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAsasvJvzYvA
452Please respect copyright.PENANAzg4w7WNPSC
Raskreia: “Ha, you’re probably right.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAVZP83RKNSb
452Please respect copyright.PENANADij9rToAYS
Jake: “Alright! You’re done with the recap and learning who those 2 are. Can you help me get back home now?”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAAahXEI3beX
452Please respect copyright.PENANASsyPFUf8Er
Raskreia: “Sure kid. What’s you’re world like?”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAZPXSdfiTi6
452Please respect copyright.PENANAYD0anpdXwN
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAtJYmkhe8Wi
452Please respect copyright.PENANABMg9FcTtM1
Raskreia: “Well, I didn’t expect that. Considering your powers, I was sure your world would have been some, no offensive, hellscape.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAC47V4e16CG
452Please respect copyright.PENANAJoBRbyIwZ0
Jake: “I’m not the norm and I didn’t…ask for these abilities.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANA6H0y9zWnCP
452Please respect copyright.PENANALentRYcoNm
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?”
452Please respect copyright.PENANA0dLSYsyKsq
452Please respect copyright.PENANAWqlQofftlo
Jake: “…Yes.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAQY93EpMx7w
452Please respect copyright.PENANASsi9Ev3XmI
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANANEGHyFfFKU
452Please respect copyright.PENANAAp7By1rsTM
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAgAKjIUxDAZ
452Please respect copyright.PENANAp8xJDvdmFo
Jake: ‘On the other hand, she could be found and killed…’
452Please respect copyright.PENANAn1XYwCj3sG
452Please respect copyright.PENANAG780ahRcbU
Jake: “Damn it…”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAGVTztLsVk6
452Please respect copyright.PENANApuxR24PZeM
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANA6xl6YRqy14
452Please respect copyright.PENANAyQS3gAI0O5
A strange sensation snapped Jake out of his mind. A warm and gentle feeling at his sides.
452Please respect copyright.PENANA7qI52pNMEc
452Please respect copyright.PENANA240VVGOn5o
Raskeria: “Awwww.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAmCRkonL6j3
452Please respect copyright.PENANAQnMw5pHCFE
Jake looks down to see Sylphid…nuzzling him. Sylphid began purring, in an attempt to soothe Jake.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAUOxZdMVzUA
452Please respect copyright.PENANAhvGmdZUGk2
Jake: “What…is this thing doing?”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAQxILK2aNYI
452Please respect copyright.PENANAdmJOr3IpUy
Raskeria: “I think she likes you.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAWFndVkqB8W
452Please respect copyright.PENANAG15Lc4JoUy
Jake: “Make it stop or I’ll make it stop.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAbdKpsjlYfc
452Please respect copyright.PENANA8BrI0bxr9J
Zander: “Jake, Sylphid is not trying to attack you so there’s no need for that.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAJSZ7qrvljL
452Please respect copyright.PENANAzOdPmBfCdk
Jake: “I don’t care.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANArbJpkxkfjA
452Please respect copyright.PENANAgxiUORWquP
Jake got out of his chair and moved away from Sylphid. Sylphid didn’t follow but did look at Jake with…sympathy.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAScjY07X0wR
452Please respect copyright.PENANA8Blkfep9cD
Jake: ‘Monsters don’t comfort and they definitely don’t need sympathy.’
452Please respect copyright.PENANAJDC0c4YLd6
452Please respect copyright.PENANA8iA4vyU1N3
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.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAAL4lP3Ji6p
452Please respect copyright.PENANAtdK77c4b1K
Jake gave a dangerous glare at Slyphid before going back into the forest.
452Please respect copyright.PENANA8vYftcfJXl
452Please respect copyright.PENANAB73PUO0dPk
Raskeria: “Tabitha, you’re dragon is cute but she might also be suicidal if she wants to cuddle up with Jake.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAvKzqiIAfYE
452Please respect copyright.PENANAK1WqIGNpET
Tabitha said nothing but took the statement into consideration. Slyphid interest in Jake is definitely strange.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAxrLcDYua0a
452Please respect copyright.PENANAtHtQZDKuuq
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.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAwodM4h3PWQ
452Please respect copyright.PENANADIV7SapOUY
Raskeria left the group and started exploring the academy. As for Zander, he still has to deal with Kirche.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAj1GP8AMwTf
452Please respect copyright.PENANAEiADdB12F9
Kirche: “Now, where were we?”
452Please respect copyright.PENANArYE1qePIxL
452Please respect copyright.PENANAi8aF6GTZXc
She says while pressing her best assets against Zander.
452Please respect copyright.PENANApQxDbgE7zl
452Please respect copyright.PENANAPWDdca2Mmp
Zander sighs before answering her.
452Please respect copyright.PENANABJzZWIwHtL
452Please respect copyright.PENANAPraJgyNY31
Zander: “Miss Zerbst, I’d appreciate my arm back.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAHHqwJMm4IK
452Please respect copyright.PENANAVOr38c2Dqv
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANA5zmsJKMIJS
452Please respect copyright.PENANAfbcvjQULXG
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.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAY9r2qNpIVR
452Please respect copyright.PENANAGp4SNH4EmW
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.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAbx4zk0OYdC
452Please respect copyright.PENANA9LDTNMlQpl
Kirche: “So you have gate spell just that woman? When will you be back?”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAYUk4OA1sSh
452Please respect copyright.PENANAEI6WZNzqIA
Zander: “I’ll be back by tomorrow. I don’t want to miss the big fight.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAhnX5wEydq2
452Please respect copyright.PENANABQk8fRtdda
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANA5z9LGophhC
452Please respect copyright.PENANAAVbiMiwXHT
Zander stepped through the warp, disappearing completely into murky shadows. They seemed to grow within themselves like monsters trapped beyond a mirror.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAKVsRuMZoEw
452Please respect copyright.PENANAP2dVNOwMm6
Kirche: “Haaa, Tabitha I think I’m in love.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAl9iQUS4H3t
452Please respect copyright.PENANAElFMGFpC0F
Tech: “So you’re the one who accepted the familiar thing?”
452Please respect copyright.PENANApv975LxOR8
452Please respect copyright.PENANAnt8YdLqIyJ
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANA5V8RFgceiF

Flamma: “It’s not that bad. It’s not like I let Louise command like a dog. I’m not a masochistic.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAWZHE0niMeE
452Please respect copyright.PENANA7MK8TVKaoe
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAHTZEGY3tuG
452Please respect copyright.PENANAufhj6GhL4t
But she is also terrified for them. If they died for her…
452Please respect copyright.PENANASe7AKaJVon
452Please respect copyright.PENANAXf4uuiqUFS
Siesta: “You shouldn’t have done that.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAjHf5Q7yWc1
452Please respect copyright.PENANAyYfcJnIUV3
She says softly but it still got the three to pay attention.

Dove: “Do what?”
452Please respect copyright.PENANALLlCST0FJX

Siesta: “Accepted Guiche’s challenge! It’s too dangerous!”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAi3pAh3NbiW

Siesta: “But…”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAH2Uu1K2QsA
452Please respect copyright.PENANArRNU6XuQXq
Flamma put her hand on Siesta’s shoulder and smiled softly.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAh0zR56FY2f
452Please respect copyright.PENANA2VoGIVdmrk
Flamma: “Trust us Siesta. You’ll be pleasantly surprised if you do.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAUBQF5UuvpA
452Please respect copyright.PENANAytAauemru2
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAN5VT9Pkrzb
452Please respect copyright.PENANASUjihH6QvZ
Siesta: “Okay, I trust you.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANARNTxIhHzCS

What else could she say in front of that?
452Please respect copyright.PENANAK7FkFFhQmc
452Please respect copyright.PENANA7AR0lPBjHA
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.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAA5bxhycXLV

452Please respect copyright.PENANA3GFPuigr9g

Tech: “Probably somewhere with enough room. Probably one of the courtyards.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAFrJOVI4Neb
452Please respect copyright.PENANAVAkzflG3rc
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.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZNbyBors5
452Please respect copyright.PENANApmIZmNKqxe

With that, Dove and Siesta left Tech for his final repairs.
452Please respect copyright.PENANA6d2rbFgkUF

Louise would have gone crazy from the boredom and maybe anger at her double. But her thoughts were on what her familiar told her.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAyIsn25KWnY
452Please respect copyright.PENANAVTihpo8veY
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.’
452Please respect copyright.PENANAoGptHgaumT
452Please respect copyright.PENANAuF90S3ayON
Louise laid down after eating her food delivered by her familiar and a maid. But she still barely had the energy to move.
452Please respect copyright.PENANABH9LD2WNAW
452Please respect copyright.PENANAPRrqzhDiAk
Louise: “Argh! When I get my hands on that faker, I’ll tear her apart! I hate being stuck like this!”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAVhNmEs17Qm
452Please respect copyright.PENANAZVNv4eflbb
“Do you need sssome asssissstance massster?”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAej76vlDBBZ

Louise: “Who’s there!? Familiar?”
452Please respect copyright.PENANA818a2xQ7LP
452Please respect copyright.PENANAtF3Pf62J0n
“Ooooone of theeem.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAOEIoQU3nJf
452Please respect copyright.PENANADxNjWlzPjU
A white snake slithered out of the darkness of the room and raised it’s head so Louise can see it.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAO4TQNTPS3f
452Please respect copyright.PENANAwswZm43NON
Louise: “Are you…like that dragon? How can you talk?”
452Please respect copyright.PENANA5D38g6qoMS
452Please respect copyright.PENANAtjeDCdc498
“My former masssster taught me to ssspeak.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAqXeRPjijMQ
452Please respect copyright.PENANAhyqXwkRMvG
Louise: “You were someone’s familiar before?”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAXbVqvqiufE

“Oh yesss. I sssserved a mossst powerful wizard.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANA5byDnvOY5b

Louise: “Great, so I stole a familiar from a noble…”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAUvyUXjg2L1
452Please respect copyright.PENANAo993StZuP9
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…’
452Please respect copyright.PENANAcnoq5aVav2
452Please respect copyright.PENANAcPunmpS3IA
“Dooont’ worrrry, my masssster died a long time ago.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAq29XTFJTWL
452Please respect copyright.PENANAwF0P1Xz8hQ
That put some hope in Louise’s eyes. Maybe she can make this snake her familiar. Much better than that commoner.
452Please respect copyright.PENANA9sIytUTTTG
452Please respect copyright.PENANAWSp1IKAt6w
Louise: “Then…will be my familiar?”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAU8Uys1scb0
452Please respect copyright.PENANAizIFe8Dc4D
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANA7SNqiaz5lS
452Please respect copyright.PENANAnqXZszMS4o
“Do you haaaave the streength?”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAsQECoKd4jA
452Please respect copyright.PENANAgAQ5PXYsKP

452Please respect copyright.PENANALlKXOKeLz1
452Please respect copyright.PENANAt6QEWX2KKA
What seemed like a smirk flashed on the snake’s face.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAPgtdckGWI6
452Please respect copyright.PENANAK3Td4EYfOf
“Theeen yeees, I’ll beee your faaamiliar.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAJUyFRsXBN9

Aeoron: “My naaame is Aeron, my soooon to be master.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAC9jytgcMZC
452Please respect copyright.PENANAsL79S3DHjZ
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANA5IZSRbm8JV
452Please respect copyright.PENANAKG1tCjWWe2
Louise: “Be grateful, you’re the second of my familiars. I will conquer the rest and then…”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAHMoOsXxCEr
452Please respect copyright.PENANAmTqdAiIa2K
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.’
452Please respect copyright.PENANAIGgSgCqJpS
452Please respect copyright.PENANAwChHpn2gci
Louise smiled and placed her wand on the snake’s forehead before chanting.
452Please respect copyright.PENANA4MdiUqUcOj
452Please respect copyright.PENANAAkNN2HuJFn
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.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAOwWg4E1T9m
452Please respect copyright.PENANAWhA07flAQp
After chanting, she removed her wand from his forehead and stretched forward to kiss him.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAKukJC71sAu
452Please respect copyright.PENANAh1eYah5cr1
After a few moments, a new and different brand appears on the snake.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAUxaYHZoxso
452Please respect copyright.PENANA59brHwg6GH
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.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANA4VoPAdAjlm
452Please respect copyright.PENANA00AomQuYO7
Louise expected to fall right to sleep after performing another ritual, but instead, she feels fine. Better than fine actually. Almost normal.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAflhMvXoLJL
452Please respect copyright.PENANAiRuUUewDjm
Louise: “I thought I would be tired after that.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANA48JHGLpdfT

Aeron: “I took the liberty to heal you of your affliction using a spell.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANA8x1bERZhGs
452Please respect copyright.PENANAjLOINWD0CI
Louise: “Really? Wait, what do you even know about magic, you're just a familiar."
452Please respect copyright.PENANAId2csSOfEU
452Please respect copyright.PENANAwBowFougQB
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."
452Please respect copyright.PENANAcNW6qkMQGo
452Please respect copyright.PENANAmfRVgLGy2A
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…
452Please respect copyright.PENANAmT1SsA0EAp
452Please respect copyright.PENANANLVVFUTAAV
Louise: "HOW DARE YOU!"
452Please respect copyright.PENANAswmcr4Ftry

Aeron: “…Baleful Polymorph."
452Please respect copyright.PENANADnAboMPBiM
452Please respect copyright.PENANAuhhCvYK3nR
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAHvXV0mSekQ
452Please respect copyright.PENANAuXZMP5SwAS
Aeron: "Ah, you're still awake, perfect"
452Please respect copyright.PENANAGH3lic7oCX
452Please respect copyright.PENANAhvQy9VimST
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAzU9p8dzucN

452Please respect copyright.PENANAgfd37xCMEF
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANA3bfhcNkOIy
452Please respect copyright.PENANAiJbE8MpqJX
Where she was supposed to be, was now a toad standing beside Aeron. She would have screamed but only more strange noises emerged.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAV0oI9pOTGx
452Please respect copyright.PENANAVnvT1XT9vn
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.’
452Please respect copyright.PENANArV8W7HqkK2
452Please respect copyright.PENANASNxQqfJ6ju
Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard Aeron laugh.
452Please respect copyright.PENANABxkOfqKgLx
452Please respect copyright.PENANAFFOKwT8oLL
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."
452Please respect copyright.PENANAwge45dvT6j
452Please respect copyright.PENANAlslpJrPLyg
Louise: ‘Why?!’
452Please respect copyright.PENANAAzU8o9FlIH
452Please respect copyright.PENANA2sZ6BCxGyP
She tries to ask with her mouth but only animals escape it.
452Please respect copyright.PENANADAwkRAYvrG
452Please respect copyright.PENANAjcuv9J09yj
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.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANA1BmckzMzmz
452Please respect copyright.PENANAooikbAguIk
Louise: ‘I will learn! I will learn! Please just turn me back!’
452Please respect copyright.PENANAjvDBGgTXZL
452Please respect copyright.PENANA6Sg0UC378b
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."
452Please respect copyright.PENANAdRjN7ZFMWj
452Please respect copyright.PENANA5McOXOxdG4
Louise: ‘I command you to turn me back familiar!’
452Please respect copyright.PENANAwT6HmhSkCl
452Please respect copyright.PENANA1DnT3POK6M
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?"
452Please respect copyright.PENANAPX02h9Xoo9
452Please respect copyright.PENANAgVSdf0vKgo
Louise: ‘Because...you're my familiar?’
452Please respect copyright.PENANAWaTWWH0MsU
452Please respect copyright.PENANAdPTLdB9wwG
Aeron: "Goodbye little one"
452Please respect copyright.PENANArPdLnIj8ar
452Please respect copyright.PENANAswDfPvudaU
Aeron changed his shape back into his human form and started to meld into the shadow of the room.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAY9Q0yiyC5Q
452Please respect copyright.PENANAYComACLXc7
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?
452Please respect copyright.PENANAHPlVH99hnv
452Please respect copyright.PENANAUvTjaytgyz
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?’
452Please respect copyright.PENANACdicDh6yyv
452Please respect copyright.PENANAjyKYOGKtpw
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZsDveRsC7
452Please respect copyright.PENANAwilmzdCB8g
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAO1YfSSw9L9
452Please respect copyright.PENANAQEtpvmHsRO
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAbH4734Iny5
452Please respect copyright.PENANAX4vb0xxeKj
Before despair fully broke her, she heard laughter coming from the darkness that surrounded her.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAHsCEuxKFzJ
452Please respect copyright.PENANANlbm3Kmknx
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."
452Please respect copyright.PENANA3wW6xvTU2g
452Please respect copyright.PENANA01nmbCb8C7
Aeron emerged from the shadows and snapped his fingers.Louise found herself back on the bed, looking at her hands.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAuCnD2JeSDL
452Please respect copyright.PENANATztwjb4Gah
Louise: ‘I’m…back.’
452Please respect copyright.PENANAuH0NJtXqCG
452Please respect copyright.PENANAhqccGOXzbx
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…
452Please respect copyright.PENANAo4TBx958bH
452Please respect copyright.PENANAHpKQ71cMTq
After she got a hold of herself, she spotted Aeron, not as a snake but as a human.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAt0VThDPdmO
452Please respect copyright.PENANAe454cidoBP
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?
452Please respect copyright.PENANAbQ16gVh5qo
452Please respect copyright.PENANAd8CARTpy2J
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAhW8gUZjjji
452Please respect copyright.PENANAStCT3zV7VZ
Louise: "So, w-why can you use magic? A-Are you a noble?"
452Please respect copyright.PENANAAQgKylqiOU
452Please respect copyright.PENANAVFMS7q160Z
Chuckling Aeron seated himself in one of the chairs in the room.
452Please respect copyright.PENANA138hgQYWvz
452Please respect copyright.PENANA0Gt4bFyR1X
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."
452Please respect copyright.PENANAWI5Dq102Iv
452Please respect copyright.PENANAgv5071FHJp
Louise: "But how? Nobility comes from magic. Unless…you’re not from this world. Just like the others.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANA1Nj6flYJoI
452Please respect copyright.PENANATtqWMe9V1l
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.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANARPEeidEjns
452Please respect copyright.PENANAGiSTmYhh98
Aeron: “Now, back to teaching you magic. First, let go of the wand. You won’t need it for my magic.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANADxzIHpOP7Q
452Please respect copyright.PENANApulf2fV2zI
Louise: “So you’ll be teaching me what that Raskeria girl did.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANA7ih4HkKao9
452Please respect copyright.PENANAxun0o0v2XE
Aeron: “…Something like that.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAwZkSkQkoFH
452Please respect copyright.PENANADsyG3rkGIg
Louise: “Can I…really do that? I’m not from your world.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANA15zI9dzvq1
452Please respect copyright.PENANARaeUkWoc2Q
Aeron: “Trust me. Unless…you want to be a Zero all your life.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAooLf3hLn1c
452Please respect copyright.PENANAZmguZWzfVm
Louise: “NO!”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAdhdtHhB42D
452Please respect copyright.PENANAOgBRnW8dSL
Aeron: “Then let go of the wand.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANANFRoqhz8eK
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANA154G4KvN9f
452Please respect copyright.PENANAsDYYOnzGOt
Aeron then proceeded to crush it underfoot, sending its pieces across the floor. That part of her life…is now dead.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAMIN1msMQWU
452Please respect copyright.PENANA5KOTnk9vQE
Aeron: “When I’m done, you’ll be able to do that binding ritual with a finger. Now…”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAvK6Xj2phvr
452Please respect copyright.PENANA8amMfBWmlP
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAnYHojy4DGu
452Please respect copyright.PENANAoCV1HKzBfV
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAgxl2ptKSEi
452Please respect copyright.PENANAdg8qVLiZSV
Louise: "Whats this?"
452Please respect copyright.PENANA8zqIYwgjv3
452Please respect copyright.PENANAFXtBgltlN0
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."
452Please respect copyright.PENANAXuGoU8xP2r
452Please respect copyright.PENANAeVQ9gR3UdT
Louise: "...I...can't read these runes."
452Please respect copyright.PENANAAQkVd4JHAt
452Please respect copyright.PENANAcSp4HeB5TE
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAq3kz8KpEjw
452Please respect copyright.PENANASgnEGoziWk
Aeron smirked behind his mask.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAt8oaiRuJhQ
452Please respect copyright.PENANA6sUysPaqcZ
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."
452Please respect copyright.PENANAyPYft7ukY8
452Please respect copyright.PENANAl2DoDEkx0d
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAFun67xjPsl
452Please respect copyright.PENANAzt5NCThHTg
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."
452Please respect copyright.PENANAM8inTG8wsn
452Please respect copyright.PENANAtWBEuoGsUz
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAe7FEhcy9Lz
452Please respect copyright.PENANApTuArLFXcf
Aeron looked blankly at her before continuing on.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAnHknMueMyS
452Please respect copyright.PENANA5eVgZPKqlb
Aeron: "Okay, how long have you studied magic?"
452Please respect copyright.PENANA0sJpdVDAhD
452Please respect copyright.PENANA9RB45dqzUM
Louise: "Since I could lift a wand. I am a noble after all"
452Please respect copyright.PENANAd8XgU1h4TQ
452Please respect copyright.PENANAE8uwMuiVNe
Aeron: "Very well, I will show you the spell and you pay attention"
452Please respect copyright.PENANAV8pLKJKQN8
452Please respect copyright.PENANAW3YwyHJyDr
He spoke so she could understand him easily and memorize it.
452Please respect copyright.PENANANcIE4TGjmg
452Please respect copyright.PENANASBMjASpDLy
Aeron: "Silent Image."
452Please respect copyright.PENANAbDdBGxQ3PY
452Please respect copyright.PENANAhNNOSSCfam
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAuGMf0R0AwY
452Please respect copyright.PENANAp1LrCue1s7
Aeron: "Have you memorized the incantation?"
452Please respect copyright.PENANAcOV2g7XsRD
452Please respect copyright.PENANAbpG05adYtv
Louise nodded.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAxLKADmw5xY
452Please respect copyright.PENANAbtQCyI1JaW
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."
452Please respect copyright.PENANA7zA3YSmokf
452Please respect copyright.PENANALLv0mSGV6F
The girl nodded again and closed her eyes. After a few minutes of testing the spell in her thoughts, she took a deep breath.
452Please respect copyright.PENANA2qqWQArrS4
452Please respect copyright.PENANAxUI48n7FXQ
She opened her eyes and focused her mind on the spell, moving her delicate fingers she spoke.
452Please respect copyright.PENANA7RgvKw4w6q
452Please respect copyright.PENANAv4pTdTKpwt
Louise: "Silent Image!"
452Please respect copyright.PENANAJl5liLqTb4
452Please respect copyright.PENANAyl2EjrxuaX
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAWUuz3Hs5xc
452Please respect copyright.PENANAjiQLvhevgj
Louise: “I did it…I cast…a spell…”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAREGQ2Cx1zr
452Please respect copyright.PENANA8gLIIdQsWO
She continued to sob as Aeron rolled his eyes. But that roll instantly turned into a gaze of alertness.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAZlooY1Wfw1
452Please respect copyright.PENANA7IoIem8FnX
Aeron: ‘Seems like the fun is over for now.’
452Please respect copyright.PENANAGuasmYT8ls
452Please respect copyright.PENANANxwGtuQGRj
Aeron got up and dispelled the illusion of Flamma.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAcdKwON8uHz
452Please respect copyright.PENANA9Dyjfk8SAT
Aeron: “Louise, I need you to keep what we’re learning from the other familiars and even the teachers and students..”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAx0fnpgCQoW
452Please respect copyright.PENANAyNXHlb0KQk
Louise wiped away her tears and turned to her true teacher.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5Ka2bcFdI
452Please respect copyright.PENANAbbK1A0UBHr
Louise: “But why?”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAaTKL8WAMq9
452Please respect copyright.PENANAKF3fir6PIO
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.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANApxS3tXCUOh
452Please respect copyright.PENANAVbUXwSG5Wo
Louise: “I guess…that makes sense.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANARJia6J9QYE
452Please respect copyright.PENANAxpkmXdNhj0
Louise: ‘Shame, I did want to brag to Flamma.’
452Please respect copyright.PENANAAucoi94QkS
452Please respect copyright.PENANACZHahY5arI
Louise: “But why not the teachers and students?”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAlHVK0Ofzhw
452Please respect copyright.PENANAhyBJrMsN65
Aeron: “Similar reasons. This magic is beyond them. Wouldn’t want them to, I don’t know, ban me from teaching you.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAv9h1y49Dzp
452Please respect copyright.PENANAltfuY5WDCu
Louise: “I won’t let that happen!”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAH97cN5cYCp
452Please respect copyright.PENANASup8FuQLY2
Aeron: “Good. Now, I’ll see you later. When you’re alone once again.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAKOSVq78mSB
452Please respect copyright.PENANATmvFhzReXb
With that, Aeron faded into the darkness of the room. Just in time for the door to open, revealing Flamma.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAOeV8whO24L
452Please respect copyright.PENANATia5o4d37K
Flamma: “Hey Louise wait until I…are you crying?”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAdNPyeqSZA6
452Please respect copyright.PENANAdfut02NOmo
Flamma knelt beside Louise and looked at her with worry.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAFpi00pVN4G
452Please respect copyright.PENANAzFz93TPWQS
Louise: “No, I just had something in my eye.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAH5U9eR83Pr
452Please respect copyright.PENANAtXtSVY9F8U
Flamma: “Are you sure? Nothing happened while I was gone right?”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAiq7dEPrrNQ
452Please respect copyright.PENANAhjJPgQiuEC
Louise: “No, I’m fine Flamma.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAFGDzYQspeC
452Please respect copyright.PENANAYjBGGEFcbg
Flamma: “Oh, no familiar. What did I do to deserve this treatment?”
452Please respect copyright.PENANA02zkGghq5D
452Please respect copyright.PENANA2ViTB1mInG
Louise: “Hmph, you’re still my familiar. But you also have a name. It’s also much easier to say than familiar.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAu7qv4GTQuO
452Please respect copyright.PENANAXXTKOXM6tK
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.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAHXpCGhwDII
452Please respect copyright.PENANAI6oUWLUm0E
Louise: “Something else happened?”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAcoyO0cqWHb
452Please respect copyright.PENANAFkQU5pP2pj
Flamma: “You know it. You summoned some interesting characters.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAHJFmHrWVxm
452Please respect copyright.PENANAOSyjcyMk6E
As Flamma began to retell the events of the day, Louise couldn’t help but softly smile. Her life was really looking up.
452Please respect copyright.PENANA2xc7TbzbER
452Please respect copyright.PENANAEWKE7TJWcw
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANANq2o1Uapdg
452Please respect copyright.PENANAPCdR8v3pnb
Tech: ‘And thanks to subspace technology, it can all fit in a small space and leave lots of room. I love science.’
452Please respect copyright.PENANA5H1F5HbPEe
452Please respect copyright.PENANA16WTpUNOAb
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAXaWsZHaUow
452Please respect copyright.PENANAD64Ola7d2s
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAEjrIFesYK3
452Please respect copyright.PENANA4LW4C0Lpd5
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAhuri5mbGaV
452Please respect copyright.PENANAprBVmn27P5
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANA7T3kOUyV4r
452Please respect copyright.PENANAn7aleXnE2p
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANALzSdrmzojC
452Please respect copyright.PENANA1zKFju8y8Y
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANA6lVAbNvSnN
452Please respect copyright.PENANAfugwKPro8m
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANA00ULZvKttp
452Please respect copyright.PENANAdf73nlHj2y
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAsXALF2KbLH
452Please respect copyright.PENANAuISV941IO0
The inside was 200 feet and had 20 doors leading to 15ft living rooms, 12ft bedrooms, two different shower rooms, and a 10ft kitchen.
452Please respect copyright.PENANArpSeuZu1HH
452Please respect copyright.PENANA107P6fWo4k
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.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAHzPRikvWPv
452Please respect copyright.PENANA9jGGnQw9me
Tech: “Were? Oh, let me guess. They blew themselves up to kingdom come.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAUmArGyR2p6
452Please respect copyright.PENANAYGLllROPR7
Dove: “More like messed with the heart of a god and thus erased their entire race from existence in an instant.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAjQOUBQBsmi
452Please respect copyright.PENANA316LgaErmF
Tech: “…Okay, didn’t expect that. I’m assuming this was thousands of years ago.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAO0cxvjq2sI
452Please respect copyright.PENANANOztzq4850
Dove: “Before you say it’s an exaggeration, don’t. It wasn’t that long ago and some elves do remember what happened.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAb3sfg0EoGS
452Please respect copyright.PENANAGdoXYXbP5a
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!”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAQUrgWdp9E1
452Please respect copyright.PENANAa35igYa7Db
Dove: “The multiverse is a crazy and mysterious place. But enough about that, can I come in?”
452Please respect copyright.PENANA9y9G4Iqjjd
452Please respect copyright.PENANAckXZQZUNff
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAW57nup68Ww
452Please respect copyright.PENANAe8npEq1pNe
When it did, it brought the due to Tech’s lab. He breathed in the air in it and sighed in joy.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAKMoAr05qdf
452Please respect copyright.PENANAhvuJmHx9nU
Tech: "Thank you lord for filtered air!"
452Please respect copyright.PENANAQRCybgmLij
452Please respect copyright.PENANAsCD8EnVWXR
Dove: “This place feel…weird.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAQhBjHGeSaT
452Please respect copyright.PENANA6Z0MxeN1ic
Tech: “That’s super clean air for you. Breathe it in and enjoy.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAhcUfrXGyOp
452Please respect copyright.PENANAHNmjv0FTEs
Tech practically skipped to his most beloved thing, something he dearly missed. The TTACCOA or The Totally Awesome Command Chair Of Awesomeness.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAUbvlu1QXo6
452Please respect copyright.PENANAaCVnYfKIsD
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAZmwJ1v5lHA
452Please respect copyright.PENANAu9UaK3JT6O
Dove: “You look like you’re having fun.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAIeMaAxszGJ
452Please respect copyright.PENANArcecepzd6u
Tech: “This is my happy place.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAxazCZsF8rB
452Please respect copyright.PENANA9HaoK0xl4s
Dove: “A chair?”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAw7UsIjMehc
452Please respect copyright.PENANAUpYARpnELE
Tech: “The most awesome chair you’ll ever see! Because I don’t want you sitting in it. This baby is all for me.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAxP0w2j7Sk5
452Please respect copyright.PENANAucPQNk22et
Dove: “Don’t worry, I won’t touch your…baby.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAsk5rQJVjzE
452Please respect copyright.PENANAPrPzMeXekH
Tech: “Good, because I sadly have to leave it. I need a Nano-Bath to further repair my body for the work ahead.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAVZypuxnG7K
452Please respect copyright.PENANAWvkAUgLHgm
Dove: “You know, I do healing magic so-”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAXaJ7RBSCXR
452Please respect copyright.PENANAlm6jrGtfEm
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.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAsjNCAR07C3
452Please respect copyright.PENANAkgXp7aRUSv
Dove sighed before letting Tech have his way. He’s definitely the most interesting and strangest of the familiars summoned.
452Please respect copyright.PENANA5rDPqbpyu8
452Please respect copyright.PENANALHeqmtzPRg
Tech: “Feel to look around and marvel. There will be signs to show you around.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAdZmCQV33kI
452Please respect copyright.PENANAoxY9ZT9FAt
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANASdSXR7V98w
452Please respect copyright.PENANAXEHCGOuc8D
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAANznPli7vP
452Please respect copyright.PENANA15PgKNlGCG
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.’
452Please respect copyright.PENANADSrwFVXX6J
452Please respect copyright.PENANAwfEMkfbUzq
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANACpi5Bx5qXP
452Please respect copyright.PENANAoY8fsuvULw
“What the hell is this?!”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAki6ozTdjUl
452Please respect copyright.PENANAszIWtrtvgv
Dove: “Who’s there?!”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAj7avNroGT9
452Please respect copyright.PENANAZlNOoh2u2T
Dove said while looking around for any possible enemy.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAqF76b4kXIs
452Please respect copyright.PENANAcbb3gBkWhC
Tech: “It’s a sound transmission from outside Dove, no one is attacking.’
452Please respect copyright.PENANAnKnpKzf7Vn
452Please respect copyright.PENANAR46unwxwGF
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAtUtxh2LVD4
452Please respect copyright.PENANAzvaAhyoe5M
Standing outside is Raskreia who is looking at the screen with an interested look.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAmhAJ9ov7Ud
452Please respect copyright.PENANAWpXlklCoDW
Raskreia: “Oh, I get it. Okay, who built this? I swear it wasn’t the last time I checked.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAhrfYX7isJE
452Please respect copyright.PENANACUqabs5Nze
Tech: “One of us?”
452Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZpRvmAp2t
452Please respect copyright.PENANAQ544tdyIGR
Dove: “Yeah, the one who can use the gate spell to go back home. She’s currently helping Jake first.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAi55JqKxQ4Y
452Please respect copyright.PENANArKEQcLSYKC
Tech: “Really? I was sure she tricked everyone and left on her own. Well, let’s go greet her.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAapATUe7pxF
452Please respect copyright.PENANAqbQwcsnmf9
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAPPMq3RZszk
452Please respect copyright.PENANAPtcGT1MeN7
Raskreia: “Whoa, aren’t that sick kid from back then?”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAPb4DeiVvD5
452Please respect copyright.PENANAIDKIU6oRh8
Tech: “Yeah, I got better.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANA6GYkx0h8WY
452Please respect copyright.PENANAMO3Ae1cjCI
Raskreia: “I see, and who is this?”
452Please respect copyright.PENANA5Z2KKNli0t
452Please respect copyright.PENANAFsA2ILAnCy
Dove: “I’m Dovahkiin. Call me Dove when I’m in this form.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAFvaUTcPOW7
452Please respect copyright.PENANA92sutVrNKd
Raskreia: “No way, really? Zander didn’t mention that. Does that mean you’re undercover or something?”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAqdWvfOQgPt
452Please respect copyright.PENANAWnJuJ0ulsD
Dove: “Something like that, I’ll tell you on the way. Come in.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAV7ZQX61LTq
452Please respect copyright.PENANA3lSlyRTcRY
Tech: “You know, it should be me inviting her in. This is my base after all.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAh5fZhjvMRZ
452Please respect copyright.PENANA4aAg4eMTjU
Dove: “Can she come in?”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAxbmoFemu90
452Please respect copyright.PENANAfhascycoXi
Tech: “I didn’t say she couldn’t. Just…come on.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANA6V7Keo0yaB
452Please respect copyright.PENANAjOeorRGwKz
The trio went back inside and headed toward the lab. Dove filled Rask in on their situation.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAq7C9BNfBjL
452Please respect copyright.PENANAldKcyb8z4j
Raskreia: “Wow, I probably shouldn’t leave then. The next time I come back, the entire country might be in flames.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAoNwVemjoAg
452Please respect copyright.PENANAGIaa0rJ1WU
Raskreia: ‘I probably shouldn’t reveal my true form either. These people would go nuts!’
452Please respect copyright.PENANACLOC310J7e
452Please respect copyright.PENANAUZiepjvUib
Dove: “No need to worry about that, I wouldn’t let it happen. I have a 100% success rate in saving the world.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANA2HFqRZLtRM
452Please respect copyright.PENANAgg2RPVVU1u
Tech: “Well, since you’re here make yourself a home and marvel at my creations. It’s going to get even more amazing tomorrow.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAhs3qxfkvb7
452Please respect copyright.PENANAJhuskgCTS2
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.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAyfRsdyurf4
452Please respect copyright.PENANAFiSTnhWurx
Tech: “Oh don’t worry, I have systems in place in case you’re feeling suicidal.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANA1e3JruldLm
452Please respect copyright.PENANABM1nlRet1z
Raskreia: “Ha, I like you kid. I’ll think stick around then.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAJhucvYvD8P
452Please respect copyright.PENANAsamupfTsDD
Tech: “Fine, pick a room and-”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAKCNSsH3m6t
452Please respect copyright.PENANAGLADWlLY22
Dove: “Speaking of, can we customize them? They are kind of plain as is.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAEIZ22vEnwi
452Please respect copyright.PENANAvwPiSw7vq1
Tech: “Easy, but can we save it for tomorrow? Even I need rest.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANADLvHsUiJJ6
452Please respect copyright.PENANAqEFXWGYHXi
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.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANA0UIeRbf6be
452Please respect copyright.PENANAYJLAigqFTi
Raskreia: “That must suck. You’ll probably have to sleep on the roof then.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAxN5j0zMz0G
452Please respect copyright.PENANAr0v20StM2U
Dove: “I’m sure it won’t be so bad.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAG8KY6SWicf
452Please respect copyright.PENANAgpujLnh1Wi
Dove: ‘Great, just when I found an actual bed to sleep in…’
452Please respect copyright.PENANA0r2mbDlRFt
452Please respect copyright.PENANAFo9XH4UVVw
Tech: “I’m actually curious about your dragon form. I’ll walk out with you when you’re ready.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAM2pDJEFuV5
452Please respect copyright.PENANAA20EbpRR4S
Dove: “Alright.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAk2XwyD8Jiv
452Please respect copyright.PENANAJdYKnN78Gu
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANA3P23Ri5fbD
452Please respect copyright.PENANA8T5cUyg7Sd
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.
452Please respect copyright.PENANAFdNAc4ZDBA
452Please respect copyright.PENANAMB5TWWFxBu
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.”
452Please respect copyright.PENANAQSIX14AiSQ
452Please respect copyright.PENANAwLd7Tny03R
With that, Tech went back into his lab to finish a few preparations for tomorrow. And then finally getting a good night’s sleep.
