Raskreia: “Planeswalker?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxacRObkWl
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExzWjKTC6l
Before the strange man can answer, he stumbles backwards and falls back onto a tree.

Raskreia: “Hey! Are you alright?”

Jace: “I don’t have much time. This was the only move I could make to secure us victory.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVsW9DR7dl
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A8E84moW9
Raskreia looks down and notices that his body is being consumed by shadows. She doesn’t notice Jace taking out a strange glowing purple orb.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPeAlQ1rv8
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8vnGAEJWV
Jace: “Everything you need to know and use is in this orb. I trust you and the others will become powerful enough to unseal it. If not…then this gambit failed…forgive me…everyone…”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe2hyyIeCf
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqU1dh9cEm
Raskreia grabs the orb right before the darkness fully takes the last living remnant of ages long past. Raskreia stares into the empty for a few minutes before turning her gaze back to the sky.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2DdeXW51x
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9atjP8jcH
She takes two long gulps of air before pocketing the orb and getting up.

Raskreia: “Quest accepted, whatever it is…I won’t fail.”

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFwNRuqIQu
Flamma and Zander exited Tech base with tense masks, still grappling with the current situation. Dove decided to stay with Tech and help Doctor in anyway she can.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLc92gUFm2
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgMFwrM4RZ
As for these two…
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kzQPw99Gm
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8GW1DeEUw
Zander: “Considering the situation, I’ll be the one to break the news to Jake.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SA1Tcdebz
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9OHeSY4r1
Flamma: “Oh yeah…he’s not going to be happy about that.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00r8eNcdFe
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXbIUtVpQb
Zander: “No…but he has to accept that fact quick. We’ll need him on our side.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouN3Spper6
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsvegs7xSj
Flamma: “For what? What’s coming?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1Ui7u3mGA
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bJbLkJ2Lq
Zander: “I don’t know…and that worries me all the more.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi80j6QBBy
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa0vB92CLG
Flamma watches Zander walk towards the forest but quickly turns away. She has to focus on what she should do.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfVV0v1qJk
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYSjAkEGRp
The healers of this world aren’t as strong as Dove and probably won’t be able to help. Raskreia is gone and she is no closer to figuring out who could have done this.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNCyA4r8zj
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bFXtCSPJD
Flamma: “Who could possibly have the skill to sneak past me and Tech’s defenses? What could-”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY68G7TGDZD
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM8lv7yaOH
Then she remember last night, when Raskreia sensed something and attacked. Was it that?
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYnn6WRNi4
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu4p9uA9L1
Flamma: “Damn it! I was too careless. I would have never made this mistake before. I would have burned everything in the area if there was a chance of an enemy lurking around. But…”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8ixmqCMBq
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPqB4Kb8aU
That could have hurt Siesta and she couldn’t let that happen. Hasn’t been long but she has already grown attached to Dove and Siesta. The thought of them being hurt was…painful.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV3X0WfEEr
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1ks5hC7G1
Flamma: “I will find the bastard who did this. I won’t let them do to Siesta and Dove what they did to Tech.”

Louise: “Familiar!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqU1ixnkOL
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVp8Aqire9
Flamma escaped her mind and open her eyes to see Louise running to her from across the courtyard.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNIOLnJ3Px
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeMejP2uZs
Flamma: “I won’t let hem hurt you either Louise.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KoBl0bn9Q
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfi0pCyZqu
Flamma took a deep breath and made her way to Louise.

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYIbLcocr6
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nPlktgeAQ
Louise: “R-Really? I-I mean, good. I’m sure Tech will recover, right now though I need you to accompany me to town.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27QykRc0vu
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAmw7wbz5m

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Bva71I2Te

Louise: “Huh?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC38S6LNPpy
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lDKHVVV5J

Louise: “Hey, wait!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXaJIAH4uH
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTW5My9MIeV
Flamma pulled Louise towards the front gate and later the town. Only later did she notice that she didn’t know the way.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gna55aiuN
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSuIy4fp61
The past few days have been exciting and terrifying for Sylphid. The new familiars were incredible and unique. Yeah, some scared her on an instinctual level.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBHnWdBQpc
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbhQiI7u6h
Flamma now made sense, she’s a dragon of a higher order. Same with Zander and Dovahkiin. Dove was still a mystery though. But her focus has always been on one.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC290MhZapA
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa85EpuL5dl
Despite her master’s friend’s warnings, she would keep on eye on that particular familiar. During free time, when she would usually be with Tabitha, she would spy on Jake.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSFAKv4gmi
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMaNPhEaJO
Out of all the new familiars, he was the most interesting to her. Through his hard exterior, Sylphid could see Jake’s more vulnerable side. Especially during times like this, when he would just look at the sky.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dVjrwM2AL
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacBsfRiFsK
There was longing, worry and pain in those eyes. Pain that would turn to contained fury if she got too close to him. She could tell he is inching to unleash violence on something. Anything to distract from his pain.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPYOxdc0vR
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLevSszDfM
She watched as Jake’s face contorted from solemn, to enraged, to solemn again. What could be going on in his head she wondered. She even swore she saw tears but it was most likely her imagination.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie5y79mFxn
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknY5CP5f4F
Sylphid had an urge to nuzzle him, to lick the wounds clean.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7LFAE5OAc
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMWQ3PbTU7
But she thought better of it. All she could do is be a constant friendly presence for him. She knew he could sense her and was grateful he allows her to be there, even at a far distance. But she wishes she could do more for this tortured soul.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5X2dzC6O9
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6CpRl8eGJ
Unknown to her however, the torture was only beginning.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9dDDeqK7O

Jake: “Damn it…”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxvaecfQ8a
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSY3cGtrMz
Brooding once again, waiting for some good news from Raskreia. He wanted to go home and fix his mistakes. Despite what other might say, in his mind, everything that happened in New York was his fault.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEe2FTeYg1
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fnHqBMLHd
Jake: “If…I had just died…my parents wouldn’t be…”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy86vVDggTc
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdDQFkEsob
He lifted up his hand and stared a hole into it. He can see what he is even now. Nothing but a writhing mass of flesh, a living virus. A plague on the world, a bringer of nothing but death and sorrow.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGC3U0DxdQ
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVbTyeZERQ
Jake: “If I had died…I wouldn’t be like…this…”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0xEkieSUM
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXxjYWKuH7
This wouldn’t be bothering him so much if there was something to do. But there’s nothing. He felt lost here.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArbRg3JYez
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNIGwSw2yR
In New York, he had one absolute mission – destroy Blackwatch. But here…
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iCfB48O3t
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5sdugEjp1
Jake: “There’s nothing to fight against…nothing to fight for…no anchor…”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMWQlPGhqb
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrW7WFGwnCI
Jake was brought of his thoughts when a new presence entered his field of sight.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpSjUZsuoA
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12FDrI9Qau
Zander: “Jake, I have…news.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSUkEQVYOT
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmlc6OpjIL
He looked down at Zander and for a moment, felt surprise. Zander looked…off balance.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0CHtDPWVS
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DriQHddtd
Jake: “What could possible unnerve him of all people.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpNV2uFh0O
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiObmz5cBq
He jumped down and approached the noble.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo52n8euZyp
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0HvjAOkQ4
Jake: “What is it?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg3rnK9HLZ
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI35kKyaTBu
Zander: “…Something happened.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnebWwbMMRt
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYh86oemxs
Jake: “Why should I care?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKraBZCONe
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuMSHbyirv
Zander: “It involves your…our way home.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IMrYYNJea
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq7KTyjGIa
Jake: “What are you-”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2cHZQdrHP
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAl5UcoWB6
Zander: “Someone has locked this dimension, we can’t go back.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8k8dvwzgr
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OZ77i7lyz
Instantly, every living thing in the area felt the pressure of a castle on their backs. Some even died from fear due to the killing intent.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2vryec8cz
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8AquJff56
Jake: “Explain.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvicWzHZq7j
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3nHJyIEQd
Zander: “Raskreia is missing and she may not be able to come back to this dimension. We’re stuck here.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVSypKYNYj
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3HV8VYCJT
The one thing, THE ONLY THING, keeping Jake on a leash was the promise with Raskreia. The fact that he could go home one day. But that…was gone now.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZasTnhPMsr
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN19erkeFN
He could focus his anger on the person who locked the dimension. He could have remembered that Zander was not his opponent.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1aJYNhZPO
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz8Z2g1tZI
He could have done many things. But like so many times before, his anger got the best on him.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYxGzuoK1O
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnmZ2s2jDq
An explosion of force erupted from the blow Jake threw, a blow Zander blocked. Regardless, it had enough force to at least push Zander back.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOSu14oP7Q
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bRj64vYLn
Jake: “Wrong Answer.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oxHnPY9m8
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaXMCEOB0C
Zander: “Don’t do this.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOs9IBcG76
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo8Fgtx9rB
Rage was unreasonable and demanded bloodshed, something Jake was willing to provide.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEQnwXm0D4
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCh6PB6qmB
Jake transformed his other hand into voracious claws and slashed across Zander’s chest who dodged back and countered with a fire blast aimed at Jake’s face.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCoDmQjNts
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLNKOmFRT0
Jake charged through the pain and launched several more attacked with both clawed hands.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjedFYPGqgY
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMcahyhK4w
Zander could only barely dodge. He didn’t have time to use a spell or take out a weapon, not without risking it. So instead, he waited for the perfect moment to teleport to the sky.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytGbk9e54T
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3DzwGwD7i
Just as Jake looked up, Zander equipped his staff and rained down a torrent of magical fire. Jake quickly dodged the blasts, zagging through the storm until he made it to a tree.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWqlk43CMg
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKx8AAtZGf
He used the branches to reach Zander in the sky. Zander held up his staff to block the overhead slash from Jake.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe7YMxlbJj
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5hSWD2Hop
Zander: “Enough Jake, I don’t want to hurt you!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1nSnAVF63
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7pdrZzZz7
His words fell on death ears, the answer he got instead was a heavy blow to the cheek, sending him spinning to the ground.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapuFCyiSFJ
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdzx9hB5IQ
But while in the tailspin, he unleashed a thin white magical slash that bisected Jake. Jake ignored the gasp in the distance and regenerated the damage before turning his hands into hammers. Using gravity, he sent himself hurling towards the now grounded Zander.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdLKslUdcj
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMnAkGzQUp
Zander caught the blow with a magical shield, but the blow was heavy enough to crack it. In his rage, Jake began to hammer the shield causing the cracks to spreed.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdusDZOjuDN
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOoTwpFuRd
But when it finally cracked, Zander was ready. Summoning flames from the deep, he unleashed blue hell from his mouth enveloping Jake.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGyWNMV1sa
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSiy35QNzH
That finally got Jake to scream in pain but Zander wasn’t done. He knew he would just regenerate, he needed to cripple him enough to stop any resistance.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LC8cdmQaf
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCpS3xttXs
So he waved his hands in a mesmerizing form that summoned storm clouds above. Then with a downward chop, red lightning cracked from above and struck Jake’s still smolder body repeatedly.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4VdGPoXXY
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiLf52FzMi
Despite that…he kept coming.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjl2BUF0jE
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpy0DdW75h
Past the screams, past the pain, Jake took a step towards Zander, and another. Even when his body was going through the cycle of breaking down and regenerating, he still formed a blade eager for blood.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhCrtRlR5o
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolDdENTR7d
He didn’t see Zander anymore, he saw Mercer. He saw the monster that took his parents. He saw the bastard smirking, mocking him…
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeN4vomKk0
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEvgaI2c2r
Jake: ‘DIE!!’
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASNB819Iy2
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnVfFg88Tu
“Stop!!”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseSKnk7tvd
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoPvxN8Pz2
Suddenly, the flame went out and the storm clouds passed. The agony simmered to a dull pain as he regenerated the damaged. In its place was a warm sensation, some girl was…hugging him? Getting in the way of the storm that was called against him?
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk9AqFnhZx
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPELyqG5AF
But this warmth won’t heal him, he needed body mass. Jake was so tempted to eat the one before him.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFif0fVXdrL
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FS61cAMan
So tantalizingly close to consuming the one who gave him relief. It would be so easy.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzEniqmFEn
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxH40tdLnr
Mercer: “Do it Jake. You’re a weapon, one that will turn this world into a singular paradise. Consume, adapt, survive.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt1qSw8CHz
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lDed2ucK4
Jake: “I…have to survive…I…”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u6CuVgmiL
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0GECbicWJ
Tendrils snaked up the girl’s body, threatening to penetrate and force her to become one with him.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJE1CiUW3Q
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcZmd0JMnN
“Jake…”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpeFZegRYD
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISnL3JjNG2
The gentle voice, however, broke through the haze and reached the person Jake once was. It was a voice that sounded so helpless and innocent. Something he once was…
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdVF6ZWktd
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGnXmBtBhm
His eyes now truly open to see her and she felt…familiar. That familiarly was what he needed to anchor himself.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6LfKS1zbq
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CoQH8nKwc
The tendrils recede and Jake takes a step back, removing himself from the warmth of her embrace.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnj78o3ada
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHrHPlxQ9Y
Zander: “Jake, are you alright?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqqs4KXdK2
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAhnSMHTms
Jake: “…Yeah. I just need…a moment to process things.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45sHeDpySk
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPerZhZfRF
At that moment, he felt someone grab his hand gently. It was that familiar blue haired girl again. She looked at him with…something. Whatever it was it only made him confused. So he pulled away and disappeared deeper into the forest.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xw29pYnnG
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GDBSj7gtr
Zander: “He’s a handful. Are you alright miss…”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBCgSTu5Si
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRA4Ud5LP0o
“I’m Illococoo. Yes, I’m fine.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIObcK6eKC8
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUk1Kf1zjS
She says that, but Zander can see the burns. She dove into that mess regardless of the danger, all for Jake.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hUNfvICDd
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuo10Qfifd
Zander: “If I didn’t cancel my spells in time…”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6m9qoUYz5O

Zander: “Can I escort you back to the school?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgFAK8WLrJ

Illococoo: “No, I can find my own way.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5X49BaZqz
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G1LIWMpWX
Before Zander can protest, she quickly left deeper into the woods as well. He can only sigh and walk back to the school.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoOFUu2xar

No matter what, Louise just can’t see Flamma as someone who would do that to Siesta. Seeing Flamma explore the town and the markets like some normal woman only confused her more.

Louise turned her back on Flamma and started walking back to the school, just in time to wipe her eyes clean of any tears.

Flamma: “Damn it, way to go Flamma. Try to lighten the mood but just end up making her mad.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDXRS1Abti
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZnqnc8k2Z

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoar0X0VNiy
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIEVpm1abK
Despite thinking those thoughts, Louise can’t completely detach from her first familiar.
Only time will tell how that will backfire.

Right before him was Siesta who successfully used the level 2 Aganazzar's Scorcher spell, nearly causing a forest fire. And she only just started learning today.

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h4M0K49cp
Aeron: “I wonder if more people here have potential like this. Maybe I can steal Kirche from Zander. If I get her, I may get Tabitha too. If some maid can get this strong…”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVSuVr60Hk
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzSTY2dWEb
Aeron licks his lips in anticipation.

The maid, who is now wearing a form fitting rouge outfit with a boob window, runs up to Aeron.

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LfYtzL2eM
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtt0oR9xPvo
Aeron: “You would like that wouldn’t you? But no, this is a ring of sustenance. Wear it for 7 days and you’ll never have to eat, drink or sleep again.”

Her felt her grip on him tighten.

167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGBSl0yBRj
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIra44T3pG
Aeron: “Don’t worry. Yes, the usual pay is the contractor’s soul, but it’s not the only way. In short, I will pay your price. You will become a warlock and the demon will have my services in…six battles of his own choosing, is that acceptable?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVR6WhY5c5
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZc2cv4n1K
Siesta: “…Why?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP8ejvCQQu

Aeron: “What do you mean?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO2OcMQqX1

He was tempted to say love or some trite nonsense to seal the deal. But Aeron shrugged and told the true.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshIbVSWxFn
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62gJwVvyS0
Aeron: “Chaos.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09o4YqpuKw

Siesta: “W-What?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2pVRFTKMh
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBHlYzH7yW
Aeron: “I love breaking order, and traditions. By turning you, some maid, into a powerful mage I’m giving a rather big finger to the sorcerers of this land. Also…”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLPgmu4H0Y
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxiiARgkWd
Aeron lifted her chin so she can look him in the eye.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4tBqxiJhF

Aeron: “You’re sexy when you’re mad.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6T4cIpNbU
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm4F0wCMgO
That did it. Siesta grabbed his head smashed her lips onto his. Aeron was tempted to take her there. The thought of her finding out that the person she gave her real first time to was the one who caused this madness was intoxicating.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrLqGp1wXy

Yeah, his second reason for doing things is causing pain and the chance to kill. Because why not if it’s fun and pleasurable? But this shot of pleasure will have to wait, he doesn’t have much time.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5zEMmIXzE

So he broke off the kiss.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjfD3FPEHo

Aeron: “I’ll take that as a yes?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFS5iUxYAf
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ7me3IOnx
With a nod, Aeron went to work. It took half an hour till he prepared the summoning circle and the binding runes. But when went to cast the spell…nothing happened.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoRZaP24qk
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhjN5OL5d3
But this only made Aeron laugh. First, it was a few giggles but it eventually broke into a madding glee.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHv6VSinME
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLadibY3R0V
Siesta: “A-Aeron, what’s wrong?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwlRKS2ZMH
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCaqU0yNxF
Aeron: “It seems I’m not the only one obsessed with chaos. Someone spatially locked this plane. Summoning is impossible now.”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdsKI2dgrt

Siesta: “What…does this mean?”
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQU0CDW6eZ
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIJk2D4VSH
Aeron: “It means…things are going to get real fun soon.”

Man, seeing the previous chapters and their grammatically mistakes…
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o9CF5tCHh
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKJuUISxxU
I am ashamed. I’ll fix them one day but right now I’d rather focus on making new content. Hopefully I did better this time.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x8XWbWg2c
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVe2SSKmrM
Anyway, I’m excited to know what you thought about this new batch of chapters. Especially the MTG connection, the more serious tone and how evil Aeron is.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm3A0U1k6A
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBqQpEuqX4
I bet you really want him dead now. It’s only going to get crazier from here. If time allows of course, I make no promises because life makes none.

But if you want more from me, I would encourage you to check out my other fanfic project. I published it in honor of Boku no Hero ending. When one dies, another raises.
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zQV4KTFnk
167Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHS7YVCnKEX
Let’s hope I can continue to work on both of these stories. I love them both and I think they both have potential.

Finally, for those shippers out there, thoughts on the hinted at pairings?
