Siesta was blown away by what she was seeing. A white clean world with strange tasting air unlike anything she was used to. Regardless, she stepped onto a strange large platform with her dearest friends. Then it shook before sinking down, making her grab onto Dove.

Tech: “This is nothing. I’ve upgraded things while Dove was away.”

Once the platform was deep enough, two sets of steel doors closed over head. Then the door before them opened revealing a very large room.

All around, the group saw things being moved about by metal arms moving on their own. Little metal golems flew about, fiddling and carrying things around the complex.

To everyone but Dove, it was strange and alien.

Dove: “You sure you’re not a Dwemer?”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDJTbC5gES

Tech: “Really? They had stuff like this?”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnSnTddony

138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA0dJcKrjx

Tech: “Interesting, shame I can’t meet them.”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXGGX9E4fd

Siesta: “T-Tech, what is all of this?”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLQRq8Ese6
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbFZv6FkHQ

138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZPRfMK9Rp

Flamma: “Flying autonomous Golems Tech, not that impressive. Your speed in making them is, but still.”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JIanFUhII

After saying his piece, Tech made his way over to an another platform and spread out his arms, waiting. After a second, hands and arms came out and aided in removing his armor then reassembling it on a nearby rack. They then gave him back his goggles and headphone before he came back down. But something was off, he was a little…pale.

Tech led the group to another lift which took them to another room above. Not as large as the last but it was more organized, something like a dorm room.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTUkEEOf1U
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wxHxLVKhB

Dove opened the closest door and to her surprise, it had a medieval style design. Not quite the Nord design she’s used to but it’s better than everything else here.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0BH30Rs8u
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAvvq5c5AJ

She says as she looks around the well-designed room. A room fit for a noble…
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVwToKKCON

Siesta: “Why Flamma?”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vlEpdD4mQ

138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgsJAK4huQ
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GAzmDNd7q

138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGyX52cMXp
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7LOcUAv2o
Dove: “Does this have something to do with why you decided to be Louise’s familiar?”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAnw6ltxMm
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi9G4zRJhV
Tech: “And getting branded like an animal, I might add.”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z1FlK66v4
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHu2k5TKe6
Flamma looked at them and wondered if she should reveal what she felt. Would they use Louise and abuse her potential? After a moment, the answer was clear to see.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQe4wSDr0W
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyssj3QiazQ
Tech is too proud to do it, Dove has no need of it and Siesta is too sweet. But how much to tell, that’s the question.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcni9LNEiRF
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyC3hgTg6o
Flamma: “Yeah, I’ll explain if you’re sure this place is secure.”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrDsW69cs4
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KBRu2NHC1
Tech: “Trust me when I say, there is no safer place on this planet. So, what’s so special about the girl? Besides her admittedly impressive summoning ability.”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq4vWFaFZY

138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCjUcbkWfx

Flamma: “You know, don’t you?”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4BObFszMg
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb8v6IjUeU
Siesta: “N-Not much but I’ve heard that it’s the lost fifth element, far more powerful than the rest and related to the Founder Brimir. Are you saying-”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk6hIy5NjZ
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3B0tgBrtt
Flamma: “Yes, Louise has Void Magic but it’s more than that. The power I sensed within her is…incredible. It’s may even surpass my power.”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wNWarq0Hr
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQJdn7cwaX
Dove: “Y-You’re surely joking.”

138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16QyHiUhXj
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxW4z1YxF0s

138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU4PR3Cy2J

Tech hands the three of them a steel rod with a blue slit down the center.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH6mbgzoUw
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0RjAEkTlT
Dove: “I’d rather a sword.”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBD4IyEHDgw
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddEukmpirJ
Before Flamma can quip herself, a thin sheet of harden light shot out from the side of the rod.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nsrTJvxCT
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7UO6nNrbH
Tech: “Information is the most powerful tool at our disposal, don’t waste it.”

Dove: “Why give us all of this information?”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ohmExjVrY
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt7EXLlyQn

He winks before leaving for his own room to recover for the day. Meanwhile, the maid trio looked down at their data pads.

Siesta: “How do we use this?”

138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwwNZkAACm
Unbeknownst to everyone in Tech’s base, something had slithered in. A snake on a mission. But even Aeron had to admit that the place was well secured and impressive.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlWZg4Mi0g
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM6D6XV2Yl
But it’s magical defenses were lacking and made it easier than expected to invade. At first, he was going to get in, kill Tech, and get out. But he lucked out and heard some interesting information about Louise.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSEa7R2qgC
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKSXZjJZVW
Aeron: ‘Her value just went up. If I’m lucky, I may even be able to steal this Void Magic for myself. But first…’
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxI19evWUO
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6tCTCGM6C
Aeron made sure to follow Tech to his room. The room was the cleanest he’s ever seen and was covered in soft shades of white and blue. Tech went to a strange capsule and taped on a panel with bumps. The capsule opened and Aeron saw his chance. While in his invisible snake form, he used a modified Ray of Sickness on Tech.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQkXFpG3dX
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1D7dgiHml
Tech slumbed forward a bit but catching himself. He shook his head before regaining his footing.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5YgsOjaSE
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXmoTHE9P6
Tech: “Whoa, I might need this more than I thought.”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4WUiOFjmQ
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd58AAZ70hs
Aeron: ‘That’s one threat dealt with.’
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4Q1C7qPr4
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2O0Xs9Rk9
Aeron slithered away with a smile while Tech got into the capsule. The poison was made slow but this way, no foul play would be suspected. Tech is sickly after all.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQaYRN6V1r
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCrPViAWNZ
Thanks to a small A.I sphere named NAVI that emerged from the data pad, the maid trio learned much more about the world of Tech. And it was…a lot to process.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHt4Es2t2d
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkvC2gfmQ4
Siesta: “Tech’s world is scary…”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeWZJNtSE1
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyhlJENXgJ
Flamma: “I’m more surprised that Tech was sick like this his whole life. For him to then spit in destiny’s face and still succeed at life is badass. Even becoming whatever a CEO of Innovation Industries is sounds impressive.”

Dove: “The way they wage war doesn’t bother you?”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0uUnKz0QK
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJasWCovOj
Flamma: “A bit, but I doubt Tech can bring all of that to bear. Besides, you fought that Ravager and these things are comparable. I’m not worried.”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjsu1R45B3
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCWfTbFs99
Dove: ‘I wouldn’t want to fight hundreds of them though.’
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzqJ1BFHYc
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUO3xJoe48
As for Siesta, she couldn’t help but feel some dread. This world was already so terrible to commoners like her. But after learning about Tech’s world, the world became so much more dangerous.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX71r6a3Yow
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5TLzjLHPX
What if more like Tech came here and weren’t as nice as him? What would happen to her and her friends? What if one of the nobles got a hold of this power?
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvrbOOlXL6
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycLIAOfxjx
So many scenarios raced through her mind and it only worsen her feelings of helplessness. She trusted her dear friends but…

Raskreia: “Finally, hey Flam-”

138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRO6GiysRnS
Raskreia got up and ran to the duo while waving her hands. But something flashed in the corner of her vision. By instinct, she raised her finger and used Fire Bolt on whatever she sensed.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HtNu3TnL4
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b1oZsY4Hi
When the flaming bullet hit the grass, everyone looked at Raskreia with a mix of confusion and outrage.

Zander: “I leave support roles to others. So, unfortunately, I’m not that good at healing or reconnaissance.”

Jake: “That’s good to know.”

Jake came up from behind and unlike everyone, he could see the snake making his escape.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfee8lKvbhG

Jake: ‘If she won’t help me, why should I?’

Jake: “Rask, call me when you have a lead before start I losing it.”

Jake jumps over the school walls and disappears into the coming night.

Raskreia: “Such a troublesome kid. Makes me wonder what made him this way. Sorry, everyone, maybe I made mistake. False alarm.”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jzSkb9OBB
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKwVlQsJJh
Zander: “Are you sure?”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EkXCK8bE9
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyNBxn0W5I
Raskreia: “Yep. But enough of my blunder, Flamma, got a moment to talk?”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEnEPUjh49
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg944149Jo
Flamma: “I’m on my way to Louise, we’ll talk on the way. See you tomorrow Siesta.”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXEbFdcUzF

Siesta: “Have a good night Flamma.”

Raskreia and Flamma proceeded to leave the rest of the group behind. However, despite outwardly focusing on her conversation with Flamma, she couldn’t help but think back to what she sensed before.

It was a sight that nearly drove Louise to hurl. Hanging in the air with some sort of strands keeping her afloat was her fake.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmICQZJKGZ
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xOlNLFReX
She was a mangled mess but the pink hair made it clear who it was. She wanted to destroy this mockery to herself but her sad state…stayed her hand.

Bench: “If it wasn’t for the fact that you are Louise, I would have kicked you out. But I won’t tolerate you endangering…yourself.”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6oIt9pzQZ
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypPCH2pbOQ

Bench: “I don’t have much time to explain but the short answer is I don’t know and it’s a long story. I have some ideas to explain the first one but they are unscientific. Right now, I just want to finish my repairs for today. I already wasted a day trying to get the local clinic to work for me and then transforming this shack into something manageable.”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fb20gzH6S
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpIoBrAUSc
Louise: “…Will she be fine?”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsUlXGZjSE

With nothing more to say, Louise leaves the transformed shack confused and dejected. What was really distressing was the pulling feeling she got when around her fake. As if she was being sucked into a whirlpool.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAVyxoXLxn
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjAWmV3gSJ
The thought of giving into the sensation…terrifiedher. She wanted…no…needed to escape this feeling.

Louise: ‘Where’s Aeron when I need him? Learning a new spell should help get my mind off this…’

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

Louise quickly regained herself and pushed down her unexpected excitement.

Raskreia: “Oh, she got it bad huh? Understandable.”

She whispers into Flamma’s ear.

Flamma: “Don’t worry master, I was just learning somethings from my friends. I won’t leave your side for anything less.”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H1bpAjLKx
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqYjd3monL
Louise: “I-I-I know. It’s only natural for a familiar to be there for their master. Now, why is she is here? Is she ready to become my familiar too?”

Raskreia: “Buy me dinner first and maybe I’ll think about it.”
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhfY4qc5nC
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq66qr45CT
That got Louise to fume red while Flamma giggled at how adorable Louise can be.

Raskreia: “Don’t be like that kid, I was just learning more about Flamma. Congrats by the way.”

In the shadows of the night, Aeron was collecting himself after his brush with failure. He wasn’t scared of a fight but he’s unsure if he could win if he was revealed at that moment.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthz95FiOyd

Raskeria alone may be his equal. That’s not even counting Zander and Flamma. But Jake is interesting…
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNLqZeBlVt
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAUCZCaLDU
Aeron: ‘He noticed but didn’t do anything, interesting. Maybe he could be a good tool for later. Speaking of tools…’
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujgknA4E3Q
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwergC9fZQ5
He needed to step his plans up. He needed Louise firmly on his side and maybe another pawn in this game if he is to survive and win. He can’t afford to be caught now.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sIvmQricG
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmd72PskG3
Luckily for him, the pieces were already in place.

Guiche is probably bitter about his lose, a perfect mind to send over the edge.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQajkP946N9

Siesta was alone and vulnerable, a useful pawn and possible ally depending on how he pulls this off.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsGzbWtwzr
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU98uPsvMt
Finally, night was coming. Flamma and the other familiars should be asleep soon. It would be risky but what’s life without some form of gamble.
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE0FiSnYGF
138Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1L0NQyaXN
Aeron casts alter self so he looks like Siesta before making his way to Guiche.
