Raskreia: “Planeswalker?”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2mzv6bvhd
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0ufucpsEY
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.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmUnsT4MrZ
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyAStnx4YR
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDtq0jDdl6
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56OeQ9apEs
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…”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrwwtA8gvT
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadyoZaJcXN
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTXBMjJbOs
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2Uwmve1IE
She takes two long gulps of air before pocketing the orb and getting up.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj9xptfyRO
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfutH6Q4ziE
Raskreia: “Quest accepted, whatever it is…I won’t fail.”

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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKExqA3y48J
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5Dra91Ryl
As for these two…
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl19Mod26b
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiyZkEHVCE
Zander: “Considering the situation, I’ll be the one to break the news to Jake.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeywQAUDyQ
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRY3pQuttr
Flamma: “Oh yeah…he’s not going to be happy about that.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOw1MQf2wi
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUDZEUS2yO
Zander: “No…but he has to accept that fact quick. We’ll need him on our side.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpvIuWjwro
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizfFILPNoT
Flamma: “For what? What’s coming?”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5L0458ZAoc
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr9TR8Hipo
Zander: “I don’t know…and that worries me all the more.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNGTguRiSy
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMB4EFJRgS
Flamma watches Zander walk towards the forest but quickly turns away. She has to focus on what she should do.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT2cmbwbyx
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvVrE0PuyJ
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JZ68kfEHr
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpunTgWUeO
Flamma: “Who could possibly have the skill to sneak past me and Tech’s defenses? What could-”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxvSDaOPJV
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzNVhY2Y70
Then she remember last night, when Raskreia sensed something and attacked. Was it that?
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPkvBDBcL3
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4aQLD14JZ
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…”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJzTAh3G4x
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqFsBTpKVd
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdbILDBFgZ
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJH3YHuBWD
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!”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoer2ZL4iHM
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUct5hRwrPi
Flamma escaped her mind and open her eyes to see Louise running to her from across the courtyard.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxQiEjkLRX
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiaxd7VWrw
Flamma: “I won’t let hem hurt you either Louise.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVzGmqoZ0y
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVpgcguRzg
Flamma took a deep breath and made her way to Louise.

Louise: “Is Tech alright?”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPS6uyulK9

185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXVs2AEcKX

Louise: “R-Really? I-I mean, good. I’m sure Tech will recover, right now though I need you to accompany me to town.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sd3Ei6vqv

185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX2w4EBkQT

Louise: “Hey, wait!”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGrmWUEfcW
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj4k00Y4pX
Flamma pulled Louise towards the front gate and later the town. Only later did she notice that she didn’t know the way.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGRrQEsnNt
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg2pTuRQPt
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7ExvGHSB9
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi06qx51pD
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdp9c6pAJg
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoFopUo8Pf
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImdzHrajim
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tseXOq4ZH
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj7uGotIAQ
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbJ5ardwUu
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0UN8OMHbm
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchLQ6O8iEb
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbGUGLqzUo
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OxRmGq42f
Sylphid had an urge to nuzzle him, to lick the wounds clean.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N9bcFt900
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqg2JBoERR
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48qtSDrPLL
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcLsopgcdR
Unknown to her however, the torture was only beginning.

Jake: “Damn it…”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7zSjODMQx
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6l5UeIMfi
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYRNECZuMw
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu076RLbEYe
Jake: “If…I had just died…my parents wouldn’t be…”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AWvutUhzm
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKriDFUEQf
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek8D7cVbLR
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5x0t5Rto6
Jake: “If I had died…I wouldn’t be like…this…”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRUQgGCkIP
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaI4C1SWPI
This wouldn’t be bothering him so much if there was something to do. But there’s nothing. He felt lost here.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpbazQ3M2T
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0jwztZ6oo
In New York, he had one absolute mission – destroy Blackwatch. But here…
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkystVtA9Pk
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZlrMLjvuU
Jake: “There’s nothing to fight against…nothing to fight for…no anchor…”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyQX6lHEJr
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRh3D3fKPt
Jake was brought of his thoughts when a new presence entered his field of sight.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIkYyqLko8
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXy7l4C6un
Zander: “Jake, I have…news.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8NtodbLZ7
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegKmSLm5ke
He looked down at Zander and for a moment, felt surprise. Zander looked…off balance.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoGv2H1GeF
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiNXggYuYR
Jake: “What could possible unnerve him of all people.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT09E7ao6Z
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtKJkJA8ae
He jumped down and approached the noble.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l6JSnnuvq
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTssFsxCgv4
Jake: “What is it?”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1mpQWYyIH
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBI5MpSI6H
Zander: “…Something happened.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUZMMTGm6p
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNihUkd99n
Jake: “Why should I care?”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aygmqfzgs
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKboSbtKYf
Zander: “It involves your…our way home.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbrZVa1Ri0
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Xo3kTC9d9
Jake: “What are you-”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpVINULXOG
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8TYzatLrf
Zander: “Someone has locked this dimension, we can’t go back.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLr5mTfUOx
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccOiL2NCZn
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx0kOkXfPJ
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8gsuhcwQz
Jake: “Explain.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IAw5MhMAF
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvlAVQlqEX
Zander: “Raskreia is missing and she may not be able to come back to this dimension. We’re stuck here.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmMxWxyBf6
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqgbn2XdYf
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6NsuayyB6
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyJg7soXlv
He could focus his anger on the person who locked the dimension. He could have remembered that Zander was not his opponent.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupr5qwKHhz
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVFDMknvuh
He could have done many things. But like so many times before, his anger got the best on him.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQWkhGQXju
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8O1wWnqLk
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtvQxiIYir
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPenmfzoFvL
Jake: “Wrong Answer.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTO1P9NYm83
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2IAYm9ZZh
Zander: “Don’t do this.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXBSEUf2Mt
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUwKdq4h0P
Rage was unreasonable and demanded bloodshed, something Jake was willing to provide.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVd35NlLxa
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJv6DVTYA1
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAH7NqmUMc
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BFOeMUAjF
Jake charged through the pain and launched several more attacked with both clawed hands.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CJySxxEXq
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6aVa7dxPB
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSyzJaOEfH
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7IqUBsRNF
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRTFAhfVV4
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1lLNsibgv
He used the branches to reach Zander in the sky. Zander held up his staff to block the overhead slash from Jake.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fJFVedKsD
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo5bKQDurD
Zander: “Enough Jake, I don’t want to hurt you!”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELy7EPMgJW
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK2CtSSlDD
His words fell on death ears, the answer he got instead was a heavy blow to the cheek, sending him spinning to the ground.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf29j8sWUa
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXOSxrx4Lj
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAnJc2KmjD
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLbnbNvUYe
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hm1vdsfx1
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0s2tLgUM8
But when it finally cracked, Zander was ready. Summoning flames from the deep, he unleashed blue hell from his mouth enveloping Jake.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3gUEhB1Al
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yMtPETbjx
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfZLDfx6yS
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0O6LVKMIzo
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv9TPr7CkW
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL7ME7mIeK
Despite that…he kept coming.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWqKArDPPb
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yh2d4lbHE
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7kSBS4e3S
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybJlTB71ZK
He didn’t see Zander anymore, he saw Mercer. He saw the monster that took his parents. He saw the bastard smirking, mocking him…
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK75tYPzZWf
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDGCJsLnuu
Jake: ‘DIE!!’
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4jqzzTbvJ
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqKKqSQa0o
“Stop!!”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX0yUa5Gl1
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAYS6CDf70
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?
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTkWdLHNBB
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpw86EFtCd
But this warmth won’t heal him, he needed body mass. Jake was so tempted to eat the one before him.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ4aXICGOy
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSMcQOrW72
So tantalizingly close to consuming the one who gave him relief. It would be so easy.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFv7NOpZosU
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOecEkSTvi
Mercer: “Do it Jake. You’re a weapon, one that will turn this world into a singular paradise. Consume, adapt, survive.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafYi7NmbqP
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ixWNujReh
Jake: “I…have to survive…I…”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC356roiiQT
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkbnucCp2W
Tendrils snaked up the girl’s body, threatening to penetrate and force her to become one with him.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpPmTqyz8P
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUSJY8RrVS
“Jake…”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KUgVvZYlD
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmTp3mkTT8
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…
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Dss3Ql3Lm
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwHo31EAzW
His eyes now truly open to see her and she felt…familiar. That familiarly was what he needed to anchor himself.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHakqi6VADM
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkErHOJn5et
The tendrils recede and Jake takes a step back, removing himself from the warmth of her embrace.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkXYN9naMc
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsBM7jpUmE
Zander: “Jake, are you alright?”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BfCYTWmCD
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeV4TCArXV
Jake: “…Yeah. I just need…a moment to process things.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WGu1I1aA4
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89y8HCOuSO
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsdutlMRLq
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHSMmpGzuY
Zander: “He’s a handful. Are you alright miss…”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlvMFzH35B

“I’m Illococoo. Yes, I’m fine.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA1FFihQXK
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKg3LuStZO
She says that, but Zander can see the burns. She dove into that mess regardless of the danger, all for Jake.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYl9MbGsc6
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24Ojfz13ru
Zander: “If I didn’t cancel my spells in time…”

Illococoo: “No, I can find my own way.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMuQQjsDYA
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGATwQRbm7S
Before Zander can protest, she quickly left deeper into the woods as well. He can only sigh and walk back to the school.

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.”

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.

185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevN8zauxrj
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…”

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.

185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDJKpcCrgt
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RPsZP5kOq
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?”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeJt1yCewm

He was tempted to say love or some trite nonsense to seal the deal. But Aeron shrugged and told the true.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3LkVNWHJk
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrcQ7ZwoLo
Aeron: “Chaos.”

185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOIlAnQnKH
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…”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1qPcAvkPF
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaPWjWWb6E
Aeron lifted her chin so she can look him in the eye.

Aeron: “You’re sexy when you’re mad.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbSXU2o61B
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoig4SMSwim
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Bs9TV63ZN

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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwB3gx2jTX

So he broke off the kiss.

Aeron: “I’ll take that as a yes?”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl1TVPg4hF
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeWmDlgKbA
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LEBoy47jQ
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcEQVZJeZT
But this only made Aeron laugh. First, it was a few giggles but it eventually broke into a madding glee.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YetPdH25q

Siesta: “A-Aeron, what’s wrong?”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ipgyBxr89

Aeron: “It seems I’m not the only one obsessed with chaos. Someone spatially locked this plane. Summoning is impossible now.”

Siesta: “What…does this mean?”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4rVlKhfJh

Man, seeing the previous chapters and their grammatically mistakes…

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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpUVjFrZW8
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOZ54cIaGH
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.

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.

Let’s hope I can continue to work on both of these stories. I love them both and I think they both have potential.
