Raskreia: “Planeswalker?”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImBlVFfBRw
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLx6AT9Gw3
Before the strange man can answer, he stumbles backwards and falls back onto a tree.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmP9C940rZ
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT75lEXrXY
Raskreia: “Hey! Are you alright?”

Jace: “I don’t have much time. This was the only move I could make to secure us victory.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkHDAozLQh
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E2vmmDU2A
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGD4bTk1xr
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9BFxniEXv
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…”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOp8iMQxDby
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatP69aEshW
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ5Dk8027q
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBA5PEuocl
She takes two long gulps of air before pocketing the orb and getting up.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXpJx2IcJQ
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7YYHQ9NSA
Raskreia: “Quest accepted, whatever it is…I won’t fail.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbMru9vjXG
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEHrbxuxQK
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVrNzxPOip
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqlLCdvLeQ
As for these two…
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5NZ6wi4jR
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRRvU0ZGGN
Zander: “Considering the situation, I’ll be the one to break the news to Jake.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEALAsDR6m
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i7DwYm3K7
Flamma: “Oh yeah…he’s not going to be happy about that.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb7yPGINvH
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWLeJbH2ja
Zander: “No…but he has to accept that fact quick. We’ll need him on our side.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjZ7m08n0g
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK76UBBlmSi
Flamma: “For what? What’s coming?”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bgSAFx0t9
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3B19BTrsL
Zander: “I don’t know…and that worries me all the more.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mFEw7SqZa
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONLO22XqmC
Flamma watches Zander walk towards the forest but quickly turns away. She has to focus on what she should do.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeoDQkUWeR
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHPwUjkpbq
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJRVVv55oe
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCW0O1zIkJj
Flamma: “Who could possibly have the skill to sneak past me and Tech’s defenses? What could-”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWqkI8OVd5
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtKT83jnkc
Then she remember last night, when Raskreia sensed something and attacked. Was it that?
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1Yp0iOrs3
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui5qBooyGk
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…”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcBrmE6oH6
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvEZtbreuV
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RfYJ4KuCy
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp3pH8QLjR
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!”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOrx9Tv8xR
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUevUi0gZfA
Flamma escaped her mind and open her eyes to see Louise running to her from across the courtyard.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGhXEOQlZE
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTtwIIyUEr
Flamma: “I won’t let hem hurt you either Louise.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5SwPrFJv1
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4wTiSOi1J
Flamma took a deep breath and made her way to Louise.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8HGqGIuUk
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jvQyjZETj
Flamma: “What’s up master?”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEgYVmRKAq

Louise: “Is Tech alright?”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sxeXcLcr5
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6Xpgty1fG

Louise: “I-I see…”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMF9iiLWsw
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aOddlPlof
Flamma: “Yeah, I kind of feel useless right now but I’m still here if you need me.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3ulE6WgC8
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HQU5O4Cvm
Louise: “R-Really? I-I mean, good. I’m sure Tech will recover, right now though I need you to accompany me to town.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieqWWOFDBI
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0gPc9pJxp
Flamma: “Oh, that’s a good idea!”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeTAyE4ebZ
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglY7GdJHnP
Louise: “Huh?”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHcgsTBmrO
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY0fi8CJeJ
Flamma: “Maybe there could be some healing potions for sell. Let’s go!”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfEHvNCAHN
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gVpoxmX9U
Louise: “Hey, wait!”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjyH9Hl1gI
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjSFdPbCrX
Flamma pulled Louise towards the front gate and later the town. Only later did she notice that she didn’t know the way.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrnyeOTN7v
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybN3yjEdYj
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlohHk5lQlu
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6zKJOVxng
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZjI8cAbQU
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmAy3kMzev
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylcPuuMy8g
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7ubkQcCho
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFUXWjAHoX
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWRXAMVO3a
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAiHdeOrVp
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZpV8mw7gA
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG0e2au73v
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8P42tw9NO
Sylphid had an urge to nuzzle him, to lick the wounds clean.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKyt140yHH
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuQJsVLOgO
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoJ0gU8GCP
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgYaNzKobJ
Unknown to her however, the torture was only beginning.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2PKttxhDz
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLZ6n0kBTC
Jake: “Damn it…”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2JjSj7wR7
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDtQCJuLCT
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkLUTcEAyZ
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvbq5IybGp
Jake: “If…I had just died…my parents wouldn’t be…”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmltD2ndzRp
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc44QTVISO
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4JqpuRE34
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsadJ58jO0G
Jake: “If I had died…I wouldn’t be like…this…”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUy31vY3uw
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFpuc98lPc
This wouldn’t be bothering him so much if there was something to do. But there’s nothing. He felt lost here.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjPqC1yWGl
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GiAo9dAJg
In New York, he had one absolute mission – destroy Blackwatch. But here…
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSD66wNPo4
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjQCVYQOod
Jake: “There’s nothing to fight against…nothing to fight for…no anchor…”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw9MVfdOQn
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGjURxs1MY
Jake was brought of his thoughts when a new presence entered his field of sight.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBB2dHSAHf
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2D480Eb0x
Zander: “Jake, I have…news.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfoQ4JLvsL
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoJYij0cKK
He looked down at Zander and for a moment, felt surprise. Zander looked…off balance.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPL8z1Q7Sv
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3uk153Z8L
Jake: “What could possible unnerve him of all people.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6GeW60hnw
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL7XWJesG5
He jumped down and approached the noble.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdjTDNvlqC
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1CQXn8hZO
Jake: “What is it?”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuaRa5ropC
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVzXHgZBeg
Zander: “…Something happened.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSybolq6nu
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Qwd0kX94r
Jake: “Why should I care?”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPpBBuUZmc
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYZwgfY2rI
Zander: “It involves your…our way home.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX0zHF7LDX
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCqbEgq4lP
Jake: “What are you-”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsUq6UBdX6
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9L5EMpgUUN
Zander: “Someone has locked this dimension, we can’t go back.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKQ590Ja9Z
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOmeBt4oEJ
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX3a9u5il3
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTay6Q7XIio
Jake: “Explain.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohPpxFmRy9
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgrKZEFL0C
Zander: “Raskreia is missing and she may not be able to come back to this dimension. We’re stuck here.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaSwcOoSYb
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXC1HkxcW3
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHymc9pYyM2
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb4pPZ9ZD4
He could focus his anger on the person who locked the dimension. He could have remembered that Zander was not his opponent.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdumL4AJrWR
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BeR5MXaFT
He could have done many things. But like so many times before, his anger got the best on him.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wil5hwXhY
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXSebblJoF
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWQiesOY5x
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiZ3o3CaHv
Jake: “Wrong Answer.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheZBqccd3w
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUs2vFKtnW
Zander: “Don’t do this.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj4OClv33B
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJRYN07Usv
Rage was unreasonable and demanded bloodshed, something Jake was willing to provide.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOhKOhYlAw
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyxLHf2d9x
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwdGGH8NSX
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eK3R0yruL
Jake charged through the pain and launched several more attacked with both clawed hands.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOQhGnDbb7
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMygOu4ZuP
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBubihQyY6Q
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk7ZCbOZvu
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0trbUmMZCc
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaNYAH3IxI
He used the branches to reach Zander in the sky. Zander held up his staff to block the overhead slash from Jake.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu01MJR2C8B
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdZgFvor3h
Zander: “Enough Jake, I don’t want to hurt you!”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFcbk1OdVe
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4AzXr8LsG
His words fell on death ears, the answer he got instead was a heavy blow to the cheek, sending him spinning to the ground.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpEimEjgaf
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAkU5c6EJd
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIKgY8uPHA
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02aHpyYTKF
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6rO7rLGVL
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvSooksFP6
But when it finally cracked, Zander was ready. Summoning flames from the deep, he unleashed blue hell from his mouth enveloping Jake.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlPaDTZd7i
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuQGjvZ1sl
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxZppypol8
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCrpsi0URU
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkxFVieCJx
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtJ4SFgHbm
Despite that…he kept coming.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlaVjyjpFm
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRftos9nzm
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8F2ul4hiN
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmDLC1V8th
He didn’t see Zander anymore, he saw Mercer. He saw the monster that took his parents. He saw the bastard smirking, mocking him…
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVV22yZ1JE
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV0hoKATta
Jake: ‘DIE!!’
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3vV4R9ilu
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYJZn57aNU
“Stop!!”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv7gNPDiiZ
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0wiEgrTBn
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?
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt2kraj4qM
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ654NDLt5yt
But this warmth won’t heal him, he needed body mass. Jake was so tempted to eat the one before him.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrLXhWMpye
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjLiaDL9BG
So tantalizingly close to consuming the one who gave him relief. It would be so easy.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK0No30D9P
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡighEhqbixH
Mercer: “Do it Jake. You’re a weapon, one that will turn this world into a singular paradise. Consume, adapt, survive.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLs7lDlg1n
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCvePdxx5l
Jake: “I…have to survive…I…”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLu3pXpsraJ
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n4NUScnpd
Tendrils snaked up the girl’s body, threatening to penetrate and force her to become one with him.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsNctEvZDG
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dUl7jrX3h
“Jake…”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9OuGFobDc
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMyuenhBN9
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…
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GmHdpl0Ep
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVg3YKK7Yh
His eyes now truly open to see her and she felt…familiar. That familiarly was what he needed to anchor himself.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjo7ZRCCuof
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BOzYBYEe7
The tendrils recede and Jake takes a step back, removing himself from the warmth of her embrace.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUejvxgvsG
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTagzAmoQjH
Zander: “Jake, are you alright?”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkQevBaKrL
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpgaMZ0zwL
Jake: “…Yeah. I just need…a moment to process things.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwP9rDWHmv
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllLNHuBhm9
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtJdMuNicw
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7iI28YyRA
Zander: “He’s a handful. Are you alright miss…”

“I’m Illococoo. Yes, I’m fine.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6alGQHE5yn
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhskYxNFqbo
She says that, but Zander can see the burns. She dove into that mess regardless of the danger, all for Jake.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZoSlU9rrF
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFplvnZIOXs
Zander: “If I didn’t cancel my spells in time…”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYUeVkOUt9

Zander: “Can I escort you back to the school?”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapL0nmcSuQ

Illococoo: “No, I can find my own way.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOI9Wsx11F
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuzbCz35BY
Before Zander can protest, she quickly left deeper into the woods as well. He can only sigh and walk back to the school.

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.

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.

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: “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.”

149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ034UM1cnzz
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?”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpif88vGF1i

He was tempted to say love or some trite nonsense to seal the deal. But Aeron shrugged and told the true.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA2TBt63EG
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq145YVzcFy
Aeron: “Chaos.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmQP3QGbYd

Siesta: “W-What?”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCFyiFiEeY
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGxiCm0Lgz
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…”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nPUrCxrx1
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRXUVNRCsv
Aeron lifted her chin so she can look him in the eye.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk0pHRgrw1

Aeron: “You’re sexy when you’re mad.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWhPwx541v
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoLmqjOzSv
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqkRlxd8Iq

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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhHuvb7y6r

So he broke off the kiss.

Aeron: “I’ll take that as a yes?”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxv1SAho2w
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvUaZ8NdAW
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNQEcnhKh1
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGre1tSZsU
But this only made Aeron laugh. First, it was a few giggles but it eventually broke into a madding glee.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTEkdLwUcm

Siesta: “A-Aeron, what’s wrong?”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblJcgs7UMr
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3o6ymkUOT
Aeron: “It seems I’m not the only one obsessed with chaos. Someone spatially locked this plane. Summoning is impossible now.”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsAWiSq9ja

Siesta: “What…does this mean?”
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbGidQXA0d

Aeron: “It means…things are going to get real fun soon.”

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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7SmUIPdeF
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjTfqnHI2y
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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uYBA95TFU

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.
149Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PVBBopgqX

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