Raskreia: “You don’t say? Makes me wish that I stayed.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAEkjM0ARjny
496Please respect copyright.PENANApOoeZvve5M
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAYeEkzNuGm9
496Please respect copyright.PENANAwrsir3w9fg
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAj3Hrock1CW
496Please respect copyright.PENANA5aYl759wCa
Zander: “I have a feeling things would have escalated even further if you were there.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAhNfZtDxNi2
496Please respect copyright.PENANABQER9GarkL
Raskreia: “Ha, you’re probably right.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANA1MLTHEVgv3
496Please respect copyright.PENANAh8XE5BhIK4
Jake: “Alright! You’re done with the recap and learning who those 2 are. Can you help me get back home now?”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAPf5kBNX7vy
496Please respect copyright.PENANAZgff1FikwJ
Raskreia: “Sure kid. What’s you’re world like?”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAbqOkjIPZhh
496Please respect copyright.PENANAgJZ1kKKBgy
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAQXUbv6R3iU
496Please respect copyright.PENANAAldnae7oOB
Raskreia: “Well, I didn’t expect that. Considering your powers, I was sure your world would have been some, no offensive, hellscape.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAfHne3R0LZW
496Please respect copyright.PENANApEroiPvU5r
Jake: “I’m not the norm and I didn’t…ask for these abilities.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANA9dHFipG3L5
496Please respect copyright.PENANA7eUwMoTGL4
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?”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAHdW7Fxtxax
496Please respect copyright.PENANArMaaaX1Bu8
Jake: “…Yes.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAlPBpl8lE3d
496Please respect copyright.PENANAYzcyPnd663
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANApDQWVHkoYN
496Please respect copyright.PENANAX9dtMJbILK
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANADgq55nayL1
496Please respect copyright.PENANAvhSwzPbFJX
Jake: ‘On the other hand, she could be found and killed…’
496Please respect copyright.PENANAQssUYQciYb
496Please respect copyright.PENANAyKmT6HkCJk
Jake: “Damn it…”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAJC2oGyuguD
496Please respect copyright.PENANADZPlpIni3W
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAiUsO5EeZjv
496Please respect copyright.PENANAjQebNzIejf
A strange sensation snapped Jake out of his mind. A warm and gentle feeling at his sides.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAVPBemmD5hW
496Please respect copyright.PENANAjKHuGd8IYt
Raskeria: “Awwww.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANALLAIurqzjs
496Please respect copyright.PENANAcI47k1ii2K
Jake looks down to see Sylphid…nuzzling him. Sylphid began purring, in an attempt to soothe Jake.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAiEjIljfIA2
496Please respect copyright.PENANA8uqXgMuUx9
Jake: “What…is this thing doing?”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAWSsNOI1C8b
496Please respect copyright.PENANA8rW0DlcSHi
Raskeria: “I think she likes you.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAZHwtoiv6XL
496Please respect copyright.PENANAvRU5cre8aj
Jake: “Make it stop or I’ll make it stop.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAI4dZwr9qr7
496Please respect copyright.PENANAVYhtyKBTHs
Zander: “Jake, Sylphid is not trying to attack you so there’s no need for that.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAC9JYWPn0rb
496Please respect copyright.PENANAdFGxYls6f8
Jake: “I don’t care.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAVoT7MoUzwI
496Please respect copyright.PENANA1ko98UxD81
Jake got out of his chair and moved away from Sylphid. Sylphid didn’t follow but did look at Jake with…sympathy.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAefRf9n9ixH
496Please respect copyright.PENANA4qFGObhM20
Jake: ‘Monsters don’t comfort and they definitely don’t need sympathy.’
496Please respect copyright.PENANACA0XPgCr8D
496Please respect copyright.PENANAvvGhIZEDBr
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.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAOLLUpiYBpj
496Please respect copyright.PENANAG0w8FNGWVF
Jake gave a dangerous glare at Slyphid before going back into the forest.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAPTeQ84QHKw
496Please respect copyright.PENANAiIZBs6sEVw
Raskeria: “Tabitha, you’re dragon is cute but she might also be suicidal if she wants to cuddle up with Jake.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAKL4i9chnC2
496Please respect copyright.PENANADcDUP2geVS
Tabitha said nothing but took the statement into consideration. Slyphid interest in Jake is definitely strange.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA2mBDhNB47v
496Please respect copyright.PENANAnFBkHtYE5x
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.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAIbZhQGvx9D
496Please respect copyright.PENANAtuWil3uONQ
Raskeria left the group and started exploring the academy. As for Zander, he still has to deal with Kirche.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAyO2Qij8D8c
496Please respect copyright.PENANAQjhW6ExOdb
Kirche: “Now, where were we?”
496Please respect copyright.PENANASJ1XCC1425
496Please respect copyright.PENANAUcCK95MaD0
She says while pressing her best assets against Zander.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAgAmIlxogj8
496Please respect copyright.PENANAtgqQJamJ1s
Zander sighs before answering her.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAuhuvcM5GxM
496Please respect copyright.PENANASPAy1Il9gR
Zander: “Miss Zerbst, I’d appreciate my arm back.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAJmVIB3r1qC
496Please respect copyright.PENANAKUjARNwcKz
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAHHFUAjXsVk
496Please respect copyright.PENANAIxbx0Vv9ID
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.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAUfknzfxhjr
496Please respect copyright.PENANAegrPhgLRWo
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.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANA6hVFmg6P0g
496Please respect copyright.PENANAI18iQE9gYu
Kirche: “So you have gate spell just that woman? When will you be back?”
496Please respect copyright.PENANANdTvd7c8dy
496Please respect copyright.PENANAKauLzXdu19
Zander: “I’ll be back by tomorrow. I don’t want to miss the big fight.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAgpnZXzpXff
496Please respect copyright.PENANAMgcXwETb7A
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAGjUavolkG6
496Please respect copyright.PENANAkdqxzbkWan
Zander stepped through the warp, disappearing completely into murky shadows. They seemed to grow within themselves like monsters trapped beyond a mirror.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA9fLXvkIE8w
496Please respect copyright.PENANAsdVVlfmBex
Kirche: “Haaa, Tabitha I think I’m in love.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANApPvRz341AF
496Please respect copyright.PENANAj8kZjAUM1l
Tech: “So you’re the one who accepted the familiar thing?”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAJxWZeP0o0V
496Please respect copyright.PENANAyc53CQhErO
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANALLG8FTBoqc

496Please respect copyright.PENANASJnbBn7USQ
496Please respect copyright.PENANAGjFmgglaCs
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAglAIfo3A1v
496Please respect copyright.PENANAI6QgQGjpGz
But she is also terrified for them. If they died for her…
496Please respect copyright.PENANAW8neJkQZgR
496Please respect copyright.PENANAzv9pgu6j2A
Siesta: “You shouldn’t have done that.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAD2LNyZQSEk
496Please respect copyright.PENANAxkcMBb9lkd
She says softly but it still got the three to pay attention.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAcGu0Hy0bF2

Dove: “Do what?”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAoSZuNSvmBK

Siesta: “Accepted Guiche’s challenge! It’s too dangerous!”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAjNAh1YtHhs

Tech: “Ha, dangerous for him maybe.”

Siesta: “But…”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAxdp2gLcTrP
496Please respect copyright.PENANAndjKlBTmaZ
Flamma put her hand on Siesta’s shoulder and smiled softly.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAQibS8SjxTZ
496Please respect copyright.PENANAqqGwp7ElEk
Flamma: “Trust us Siesta. You’ll be pleasantly surprised if you do.
496Please respect copyright.PENANATWGF1BiOA3
496Please respect copyright.PENANADC1QmZTPlZ
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAwXL5hVYKRA
496Please respect copyright.PENANABwARRcImfp
Siesta: “Okay, I trust you.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANA1tXgJ6GmSl

What else could she say in front of that?
496Please respect copyright.PENANADVBW1XMr4A
496Please respect copyright.PENANAOJTI9VCpEY
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.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAgphi4JT6AM

496Please respect copyright.PENANAM1utxwHw5n

Tech: “Probably somewhere with enough room. Probably one of the courtyards.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAWqg2OLpR1J
496Please respect copyright.PENANACJa6VzQEjr
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.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANA20XV4QTyoD
496Please respect copyright.PENANAlsmj4acWzW
Tech: “Perfect. But please don’t call Guiche lord. Almost made me gag.”

Louise would have gone crazy from the boredom and maybe anger at her double. But her thoughts were on what her familiar told her.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA9k20pE6rnL
496Please respect copyright.PENANAMepO32sF7a
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.’
496Please respect copyright.PENANA129a0z23Go
496Please respect copyright.PENANAGiUXlN6Fvh
Louise laid down after eating her food delivered by her familiar and a maid. But she still barely had the energy to move.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAfikV90QJyp
496Please respect copyright.PENANAevF3Zr596q
Louise: “Argh! When I get my hands on that faker, I’ll tear her apart! I hate being stuck like this!”
496Please respect copyright.PENANA4qblVviA5J

“Do you need sssome asssissstance massster?”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAviI2Ksw43o

Louise: “Who’s there!? Familiar?”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAxFOlFoPdTt
496Please respect copyright.PENANAW1ZSCduke6
“Ooooone of theeem.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAEMOnke6uLs
496Please respect copyright.PENANA0HxKKOWWPG
A white snake slithered out of the darkness of the room and raised it’s head so Louise can see it.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAL6y3QtRoBa
496Please respect copyright.PENANAU8lIdaPdfB
Louise: “Are you…like that dragon? How can you talk?”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAPQjAOrplwS
496Please respect copyright.PENANAXwwelS3XfQ
“My former masssster taught me to ssspeak.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAk8YdHfcRAG

“Oh yesss. I sssserved a mossst powerful wizard.”

Louise: “Great, so I stole a familiar from a noble…”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAdlD5EUXkZb
496Please respect copyright.PENANAAV4rBiae4Q
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…’
496Please respect copyright.PENANAk8roD6pyfP
496Please respect copyright.PENANAy9pPW2M8LG
“Dooont’ worrrry, my masssster died a long time ago.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAwwBM3dPha8
496Please respect copyright.PENANAOiaID3Y2hR
That put some hope in Louise’s eyes. Maybe she can make this snake her familiar. Much better than that commoner.
496Please respect copyright.PENANANwccvqhZzE
496Please respect copyright.PENANAH96oZKGx5i
Louise: “Then…will be my familiar?”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAVZg5VBHD3J
496Please respect copyright.PENANA19rks2Sfky
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAkyJ4DMuxMR
496Please respect copyright.PENANA9cDgVCAEl0
“Do you haaaave the streength?”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAcg8XkXYoWb

496Please respect copyright.PENANAv8DruLN1LN
496Please respect copyright.PENANAAkRTjlS4Aw
What seemed like a smirk flashed on the snake’s face.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA8PQbmOxeWK

“Theeen yeees, I’ll beee your faaamiliar.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAIo6dXcSq8z

Aeoron: “My naaame is Aeron, my soooon to be master.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAp6rX7J9pkq
496Please respect copyright.PENANAyG8ak0Qv9j
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAqhSDRaFrIm
496Please respect copyright.PENANALOM4UDkFsc
Louise: “Be grateful, you’re the second of my familiars. I will conquer the rest and then…”
496Please respect copyright.PENANA80R9RaohU7
496Please respect copyright.PENANAyIlGcF3bwM
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.’
496Please respect copyright.PENANA7ekL39v38H
496Please respect copyright.PENANAj3pLZaOzar
Louise smiled and placed her wand on the snake’s forehead before chanting.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAt5H12IOTah
496Please respect copyright.PENANAUBS25s5qS6
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.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAqQcEAWsotB
496Please respect copyright.PENANAPngN5y11T8
After chanting, she removed her wand from his forehead and stretched forward to kiss him.
496Please respect copyright.PENANACw2Nvp7MJQ
496Please respect copyright.PENANAm3lMdHMMoO
After a few moments, a new and different brand appears on the snake.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAYpUJFT5EV4
496Please respect copyright.PENANArgyFZNQekO
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.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAFn8bOnvF2l
496Please respect copyright.PENANAMeYTALaZQF
Louise expected to fall right to sleep after performing another ritual, but instead, she feels fine. Better than fine actually. Almost normal.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAsB8m6ahzGD
496Please respect copyright.PENANArsPC9uap0a
Louise: “I thought I would be tired after that.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANArnLIRRKa8T

496Please respect copyright.PENANAUPtYlkfH6g

496Please respect copyright.PENANAMjQbeotHhG
496Please respect copyright.PENANA6GD6o7PbW3
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."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAhkFDgc4QLI
496Please respect copyright.PENANAB2qeHJ8QJX
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…
496Please respect copyright.PENANA0fqjGQZtCT
496Please respect copyright.PENANAirsD6gqdaY
Louise: "HOW DARE YOU!"

Aeron: “…Baleful Polymorph."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAbadT9st9RL

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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAVakCh8jM4H
496Please respect copyright.PENANA9vjHURnrqN
Aeron: "Ah, you're still awake, perfect"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAgQ2E0YfTLV
496Please respect copyright.PENANAzU7drmFYXI
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAvhgHachUQb

Louise: "W-What happened?"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAA6meieFFDi
496Please respect copyright.PENANAFMSGJCei9c
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA2O19VCybtE
496Please respect copyright.PENANAj8O8Fo8Wpa
Where she was supposed to be, was now a toad standing beside Aeron. She would have screamed but only more strange noises emerged.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAbutSPs9Czp
496Please respect copyright.PENANAqe9akMmQQb
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.’
496Please respect copyright.PENANAjVoF2iF2z1
496Please respect copyright.PENANAn9JoMtRb0I
Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard Aeron laugh.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAg4WbrKMl43
496Please respect copyright.PENANAYWiZ2jlC4w
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."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAek5VdiMj4Y
496Please respect copyright.PENANAKMSk4tE8LO
Louise: ‘Why?!’
496Please respect copyright.PENANAFH4s5ajwJM
496Please respect copyright.PENANAdY0CPNE3ax
She tries to ask with her mouth but only animals escape it.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAIEDIN4qF73
496Please respect copyright.PENANAxcaU89CWzi
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.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAzNcYVE9s4O
496Please respect copyright.PENANASciEpYry3u
Louise: ‘I will learn! I will learn! Please just turn me back!’
496Please respect copyright.PENANAQXUhA9ZPwy
496Please respect copyright.PENANAiYRUJ3N3pX
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."
496Please respect copyright.PENANA6aOxlYLKly
496Please respect copyright.PENANAVNJXPhHTVr
Louise: ‘I command you to turn me back familiar!’
496Please respect copyright.PENANAXuFqRbPHfK
496Please respect copyright.PENANA528iIOtLBq
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?"
496Please respect copyright.PENANA16MzIlm9kT
496Please respect copyright.PENANACNRzNLyILC
Louise: ‘Because...you're my familiar?’
496Please respect copyright.PENANAVzXkaLGc5f
496Please respect copyright.PENANAkuGWWNtnNd
Aeron: "Goodbye little one"
496Please respect copyright.PENANA5u3ucd89a3
496Please respect copyright.PENANAdpgmr0oLIV
Aeron changed his shape back into his human form and started to meld into the shadow of the room.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAWaQEuRG48M
496Please respect copyright.PENANADwFEDsO29F
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?
496Please respect copyright.PENANAenHwZlfu94
496Please respect copyright.PENANAbeQhL3i1hS
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?’
496Please respect copyright.PENANALwyRJnL9UA
496Please respect copyright.PENANA5buwYsevCn
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAipFv8dQmPj
496Please respect copyright.PENANAXruvMIxmaB
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAa0izlYeAk9
496Please respect copyright.PENANAwUMckqyEJ6
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAGBZYgUgtyO
496Please respect copyright.PENANA1Fa7egOlsC
Before despair fully broke her, she heard laughter coming from the darkness that surrounded her.
496Please respect copyright.PENANArFMOPHw3x4
496Please respect copyright.PENANAbcxVowADgb
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."
496Please respect copyright.PENANArJ5VyJ2xYP
496Please respect copyright.PENANAG9DkiCa0a6
Aeron emerged from the shadows and snapped his fingers.Louise found herself back on the bed, looking at her hands.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA2U5gOy41cb
496Please respect copyright.PENANAMiVnyy5xiv
Louise: ‘I’m…back.’
496Please respect copyright.PENANAoaEqQag4q2
496Please respect copyright.PENANA95vALLirgw
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…
496Please respect copyright.PENANAwVedumRzU8
496Please respect copyright.PENANAguQxHKZ7EZ
After she got a hold of herself, she spotted Aeron, not as a snake but as a human.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA8P0EAvR1FA
496Please respect copyright.PENANAYfYN5DwueJ
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?
496Please respect copyright.PENANAqtU8QairIP
496Please respect copyright.PENANAk1PWv29qTx
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA15JRgs2Fwa
496Please respect copyright.PENANAXhjT4j1K7O
Louise: "So, w-why can you use magic? A-Are you a noble?"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAYfPY0jf0yq
496Please respect copyright.PENANARHFRJgYxTT
Chuckling Aeron seated himself in one of the chairs in the room.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAYnrN8gVRih
496Please respect copyright.PENANApB6yJlO6Mq
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."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAsFtWKxhhU2
496Please respect copyright.PENANA0YCumzpZoA
Louise: "But how? Nobility comes from magic. Unless…you’re not from this world. Just like the others.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAmOHaRYhfY2
496Please respect copyright.PENANAIEbJdPPsB4
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.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAAoI505Gkii
496Please respect copyright.PENANAsXuiR7OraV
Aeron: “Now, back to teaching you magic. First, let go of the wand. You won’t need it for my magic.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAfxjxDGbm0P
496Please respect copyright.PENANAEqAwv0VRYu
Louise: “So you’ll be teaching me what that Raskeria girl did.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAoDiEWMT5Fi
496Please respect copyright.PENANAnoEArTJxrt
Aeron: “…Something like that.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAprh3eJ7wx6
496Please respect copyright.PENANAk2SuxSt1zO
Louise: “Can I…really do that? I’m not from your world.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAxQLekIMG0C
496Please respect copyright.PENANAipoj9vkcWG
Aeron: “Trust me. Unless…you want to be a Zero all your life.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAdjOR02qILp
496Please respect copyright.PENANAT11MO2WG0w
Louise: “NO!”
496Please respect copyright.PENANA2qA0ODpN5z
496Please respect copyright.PENANAO3Ph7P6OKg
Aeron: “Then let go of the wand.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAxbVK5iu8dE
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA4xdboCWPdl
496Please respect copyright.PENANAFtat4PIz1P
Aeron then proceeded to crush it underfoot, sending its pieces across the floor. That part of her life…is now dead.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAOH5dMcDwGt
496Please respect copyright.PENANAXe8ZcN9Ubj
Aeron: “When I’m done, you’ll be able to do that binding ritual with a finger. Now…”
496Please respect copyright.PENANACFA9LCnHCx
496Please respect copyright.PENANACD7UHHSjA0
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAtUV3LW3fNQ
496Please respect copyright.PENANAKQfhtPxPvf
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA927J5KiDiI
496Please respect copyright.PENANA9PIclWeqRi
Louise: "Whats this?"
496Please respect copyright.PENANASI5OlyNX4r
496Please respect copyright.PENANAehsPr28R4s
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."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAIF6UCCmvCS
496Please respect copyright.PENANA0bYKy51z1F
Louise: "...I...can't read these runes."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAPB7PEuAp54
496Please respect copyright.PENANAagQcRaxj8G
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAXIpsdjKOVP
496Please respect copyright.PENANATz9HUVEjDI
Aeron smirked behind his mask.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAvYIa0WGLK0
496Please respect copyright.PENANA5w3g8cefkV
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."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAck4RAy5bdB
496Please respect copyright.PENANAg1YoGrnkuY
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAFec5DpW9f8
496Please respect copyright.PENANAwJBWowr7R4
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."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAcn1gR3hihV
496Please respect copyright.PENANAUnRhHe3FH0
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANATaDvMNhVzU
496Please respect copyright.PENANAd3ZiJfpmHS
Aeron looked blankly at her before continuing on.
496Please respect copyright.PENANArsdjlvQlMA
496Please respect copyright.PENANAlSw2HZWioQ
Aeron: "Okay, how long have you studied magic?"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAO4LeWkXKO9
496Please respect copyright.PENANAASpH6XficV
Louise: "Since I could lift a wand. I am a noble after all"
496Please respect copyright.PENANA6uZiNSA0YV
496Please respect copyright.PENANAVsr86AQhU2
Aeron: "Very well, I will show you the spell and you pay attention"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAuHM1c26ISp
496Please respect copyright.PENANAdSh5vRvQaL
He spoke so she could understand him easily and memorize it.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAu0aHpM4Qye
496Please respect copyright.PENANAip0AM2eqdh
Aeron: "Silent Image."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAJD3znpPTAh
496Please respect copyright.PENANATXH2SHyfIu
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAdoY97804Mp
496Please respect copyright.PENANA8ENoSJjTFI
Aeron: "Have you memorized the incantation?"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAoM5zywXNn6
496Please respect copyright.PENANAQcBHGS0B3j
Louise nodded.
496Please respect copyright.PENANADDMYf366co
496Please respect copyright.PENANAOnBIiUjBkd
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."
496Please respect copyright.PENANAUkBQk7Eykz
496Please respect copyright.PENANA0eeQ8Ttdos
The girl nodded again and closed her eyes. After a few minutes of testing the spell in her thoughts, she took a deep breath.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAWGur9YEwJM
496Please respect copyright.PENANAGDbQwl6oNy
She opened her eyes and focused her mind on the spell, moving her delicate fingers she spoke.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAwFA8pRQrkr
496Please respect copyright.PENANA5DyWrnTWQp
Louise: "Silent Image!"
496Please respect copyright.PENANA5VITQotXyM
496Please respect copyright.PENANAvosBN2csBe
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAQYBGL9SXxE
496Please respect copyright.PENANAMYaMF2Tea0
Louise: “I did it…I cast…a spell…”
496Please respect copyright.PENANA6B7XvMpw0k
496Please respect copyright.PENANAJStCXlTQiB
She continued to sob as Aeron rolled his eyes. But that roll instantly turned into a gaze of alertness.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAt7EVNtWtEY
496Please respect copyright.PENANAT8zXnKxD1D
Aeron: ‘Seems like the fun is over for now.’
496Please respect copyright.PENANAjqN1lp2nF4
496Please respect copyright.PENANA4Vy7byfbVM
Aeron got up and dispelled the illusion of Flamma.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAoMqzdM1hzK
496Please respect copyright.PENANAQ60flh61Wd
Aeron: “Louise, I need you to keep what we’re learning from the other familiars and even the teachers and students..”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAOngA3o5HIZ
496Please respect copyright.PENANAyXaCTgyxW6
Louise wiped away her tears and turned to her true teacher.
496Please respect copyright.PENANApSDSkAFtD2
496Please respect copyright.PENANAw78ZxmuzzS
Louise: “But why?”
496Please respect copyright.PENANA5xDHXs9lIy
496Please respect copyright.PENANAx3WZiDcCxb
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.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAlIrtEgDuub
496Please respect copyright.PENANAxFGbEaKLWf
Louise: “I guess…that makes sense.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAITZAnRYvaj
496Please respect copyright.PENANAyZfOnP1Qd1
Louise: ‘Shame, I did want to brag to Flamma.’
496Please respect copyright.PENANAxj1DgUFMhj
496Please respect copyright.PENANAIe1Ot7KwIR
Louise: “But why not the teachers and students?”
496Please respect copyright.PENANA5yIxSxcPy9
496Please respect copyright.PENANAUts47HLscX
Aeron: “Similar reasons. This magic is beyond them. Wouldn’t want them to, I don’t know, ban me from teaching you.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAsr1PP3W8Vz
496Please respect copyright.PENANAdB0lt2kENg
Louise: “I won’t let that happen!”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAyhqUuoZ6O2
496Please respect copyright.PENANAEr8txWB3q3
Aeron: “Good. Now, I’ll see you later. When you’re alone once again.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAE2kzbwt4Xk
496Please respect copyright.PENANAH1XAGVfXHE
With that, Aeron faded into the darkness of the room. Just in time for the door to open, revealing Flamma.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAKV6QJDcqoh
496Please respect copyright.PENANArjVxu4uATQ
Flamma: “Hey Louise wait until I…are you crying?”
496Please respect copyright.PENANA8gucT1wSfB
496Please respect copyright.PENANArSZLBfZNbP
Flamma knelt beside Louise and looked at her with worry.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAm6h1LfJmre
496Please respect copyright.PENANAGUpILe7DIY
Louise: “No, I just had something in my eye.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANASH66cVmTqB
496Please respect copyright.PENANAkWumxpMgL8
Flamma: “Are you sure? Nothing happened while I was gone right?”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAQARAUfY4cj
496Please respect copyright.PENANA4WmpKSTHec
Louise: “No, I’m fine Flamma.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAy8lLhi5bEH
496Please respect copyright.PENANAgM6z2Jy5gS
Flamma: “Oh, no familiar. What did I do to deserve this treatment?”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAwzNTZ2WUTs
496Please respect copyright.PENANAFT00aPhAXE
Louise: “Hmph, you’re still my familiar. But you also have a name. It’s also much easier to say than familiar.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAgiCSqJxmeq
496Please respect copyright.PENANANx5837QJCj
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.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAunX1zXwXKj
496Please respect copyright.PENANAt9iZLpRXZJ
Louise: “Something else happened?”
496Please respect copyright.PENANALhzxAnN0og
496Please respect copyright.PENANAmv6MBDySHs
Flamma: “You know it. You summoned some interesting characters.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAkgkH1aL8wP
496Please respect copyright.PENANANgNjVdKZLN
As Flamma began to retell the events of the day, Louise couldn’t help but softly smile. Her life was really looking up.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAVurnixW8fo
496Please respect copyright.PENANAhDrAqlV1Ro
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAfpuNle5QHc
496Please respect copyright.PENANAVVAbONlcsX
Tech: ‘And thanks to subspace technology, it can all fit in a small space and leave lots of room. I love science.’
496Please respect copyright.PENANAueJxoJvUxX
496Please respect copyright.PENANAU9ScinBuk0
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAMTvohadSCp
496Please respect copyright.PENANA7cdQtjnYHC
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAlQ32ePnWY5
496Please respect copyright.PENANAHP2qC6XJyT
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAyQ38YmnG5u
496Please respect copyright.PENANAOTbqeU3bIw
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAEEjJ0BIvZU
496Please respect copyright.PENANAqzwuyyCRlo
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA2ayn3bzupb
496Please respect copyright.PENANAtxwEcLgpHW
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANASjnH8XB2A8
496Please respect copyright.PENANAbTuesa5oii
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAbTsOUDx0q7
496Please respect copyright.PENANAFEKI5vGsEb
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA8z6blCnJ1C
496Please respect copyright.PENANAkxhj2KEeIK
The inside was 200 feet and had 20 doors leading to 15ft living rooms, 12ft bedrooms, two different shower rooms, and a 10ft kitchen.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAP7jFDZ5SHA
496Please respect copyright.PENANArUmF9t87fU
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.

496Please respect copyright.PENANAxtgUlAvlxb
Dove: “The Deep Elves and they were the most advanced race on Nirn. Their machines still exist to this day.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANALygKyzUA52
496Please respect copyright.PENANA8HyVF8203s
Tech: “Were? Oh, let me guess. They blew themselves up to kingdom come.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAxpFzyKKkOH
496Please respect copyright.PENANAoW9NfoiA00
Dove: “More like messed with the heart of a god and thus erased their entire race from existence in an instant.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAJMa346XeNO
496Please respect copyright.PENANAt628fBQ0fF
Tech: “…Okay, didn’t expect that. I’m assuming this was thousands of years ago.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAM5IkXk8JrX
496Please respect copyright.PENANABbhtvopSD9
Dove: “Before you say it’s an exaggeration, don’t. It wasn’t that long ago and some elves do remember what happened.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAlFblhBzs1k
496Please respect copyright.PENANA0JEHiBzFJT
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!”
496Please respect copyright.PENANA8kqzPRn81z
496Please respect copyright.PENANAHPtnBBBk9S
Dove: “The multiverse is a crazy and mysterious place. But enough about that, can I come in?”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAtqvYEqrrAh
496Please respect copyright.PENANAqyANliqbqZ
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANARAaeHHl7KZ
496Please respect copyright.PENANAtERozeMnZd
When it did, it brought the due to Tech’s lab. He breathed in the air in it and sighed in joy.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAETg9XY2mpY
496Please respect copyright.PENANAXUcKwmGFJN
Tech: "Thank you lord for filtered air!"
496Please respect copyright.PENANAVGMPG8ARlg
496Please respect copyright.PENANAMvyqMLcubF
Dove: “This place feel…weird.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAXbDqFxVoFM
496Please respect copyright.PENANAWJvaRfyWph
Tech: “That’s super clean air for you. Breathe it in and enjoy.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANARTUHTPtkPv
496Please respect copyright.PENANAZKV6xXXlyT
Tech practically skipped to his most beloved thing, something he dearly missed. The TTACCOA or The Totally Awesome Command Chair Of Awesomeness.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAxq1bjwYyqU
496Please respect copyright.PENANASPEp1Xq1mD
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAOhG2fdCJsR
496Please respect copyright.PENANAokr0VDcJCe
Dove: “You look like you’re having fun.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAVvzzkzppSa
496Please respect copyright.PENANA8AzcacWnNG
Tech: “This is my happy place.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAMfpzWv27kJ
496Please respect copyright.PENANAf6HYYRptJy
Dove: “A chair?”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAFGYKnKvmPm
496Please respect copyright.PENANAZan20Qrs1z
Tech: “The most awesome chair you’ll ever see! Because I don’t want you sitting in it. This baby is all for me.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAIhve8fDyZc
496Please respect copyright.PENANAM3dzYdxgOW
Dove: “Don’t worry, I won’t touch your…baby.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAzuALSKQ57d
496Please respect copyright.PENANAGmOktq2ppD
Tech: “Good, because I sadly have to leave it. I need a Nano-Bath to further repair my body for the work ahead.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAxeVdreNLZs
496Please respect copyright.PENANADZwWeeW4iq
Dove: “You know, I do healing magic so-”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0026ZpzU6
496Please respect copyright.PENANAyVtFNoQXID
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.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAcuZfQ1GMUx
496Please respect copyright.PENANAh3D9a0gVL0
Dove sighed before letting Tech have his way. He’s definitely the most interesting and strangest of the familiars summoned.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAR0hbeL0cLb
496Please respect copyright.PENANAI5F2CLVBdr
Tech: “Feel to look around and marvel. There will be signs to show you around.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANACrQV3KjrUc
496Please respect copyright.PENANA86rczi0tcU
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAqaECJzRhW8
496Please respect copyright.PENANA3Wkrstz1I2
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANArGjZ4co0W6
496Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8h0iDFMGJ
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.’
496Please respect copyright.PENANAmdpAiwWE0U
496Please respect copyright.PENANA1PhRrjNTa3
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAXLiJNnTRLE
496Please respect copyright.PENANAPWukIFdybV
“What the hell is this?!”
496Please respect copyright.PENANA0TMil21D4C
496Please respect copyright.PENANA5OpG7YCqaC
Dove: “Who’s there?!”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAJXyZ7U9NhD
496Please respect copyright.PENANAe9oWzsb8nt
Dove said while looking around for any possible enemy.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAo47S88L9q3
496Please respect copyright.PENANAExADIzIFcp
Tech: “It’s a sound transmission from outside Dove, no one is attacking.’
496Please respect copyright.PENANALmudKBxp9t
496Please respect copyright.PENANAwthrzKaWs8
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAo4MomWdLVW
496Please respect copyright.PENANARD2mUT2lAS
Standing outside is Raskreia who is looking at the screen with an interested look.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAAmR4hirz1y
496Please respect copyright.PENANALA1q5Ebem7
Raskreia: “Oh, I get it. Okay, who built this? I swear it wasn’t the last time I checked.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANALgzBlySkvR
496Please respect copyright.PENANAhVVTU3Pi9g
Tech: “One of us?”
496Please respect copyright.PENANA2PGjSt8uvv
496Please respect copyright.PENANAT6fLl4HUyJ
Dove: “Yeah, the one who can use the gate spell to go back home. She’s currently helping Jake first.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAiijmPPIw6L
496Please respect copyright.PENANAO5EjpOMueA
Tech: “Really? I was sure she tricked everyone and left on her own. Well, let’s go greet her.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAfg8kPYuAFa
496Please respect copyright.PENANAvPFmetF0UB
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAArrBnhA0rG
496Please respect copyright.PENANANXQGfQCfCu
Raskreia: “Whoa, aren’t that sick kid from back then?”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAMD1hMXYzCP
496Please respect copyright.PENANASq8Wl6JPjr
Tech: “Yeah, I got better.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANA4ELmbGVRX3
496Please respect copyright.PENANA6iDWXen2yD
Raskreia: “I see, and who is this?”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAsBaDv5qjkh
496Please respect copyright.PENANAVTfzRNcF3t
Dove: “I’m Dovahkiin. Call me Dove when I’m in this form.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAGHW0L93KlY
496Please respect copyright.PENANAq9SoMqf6sz
Raskreia: “No way, really? Zander didn’t mention that. Does that mean you’re undercover or something?”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAyg56KhWJxX
496Please respect copyright.PENANA8495gROUnr
Dove: “Something like that, I’ll tell you on the way. Come in.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAxJO8iTFxkw
496Please respect copyright.PENANAzaLaEn3bE7
Tech: “You know, it should be me inviting her in. This is my base after all.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAmC5iVaNRUM
496Please respect copyright.PENANAAkiA7VrV2f
Dove: “Can she come in?”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAnrGBnga2mK
496Please respect copyright.PENANAUTr6VLBuuT
Tech: “I didn’t say she couldn’t. Just…come on.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAFSmc6uGgqR
496Please respect copyright.PENANAqiB3psOqfd
The trio went back inside and headed toward the lab. Dove filled Rask in on their situation.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAoRecFuM0kV
496Please respect copyright.PENANAru3FFNHuEP
Raskreia: “Wow, I probably shouldn’t leave then. The next time I come back, the entire country might be in flames.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANArhzLhtGHaN
496Please respect copyright.PENANA7OcIOMWVSu
Raskreia: ‘I probably shouldn’t reveal my true form either. These people would go nuts!’
496Please respect copyright.PENANAxPyrUaFIKE
496Please respect copyright.PENANAVbCNtocgbt
Dove: “No need to worry about that, I wouldn’t let it happen. I have a 100% success rate in saving the world.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAQVyShMS2D5
496Please respect copyright.PENANAHyQm3vVuCq
Tech: “Well, since you’re here make yourself a home and marvel at my creations. It’s going to get even more amazing tomorrow.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAuTYO8agTY2
496Please respect copyright.PENANANALhUK10Av
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.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAoXkBYpkHPS
496Please respect copyright.PENANAfaqEpLEMB0
Tech: “Oh don’t worry, I have systems in place in case you’re feeling suicidal.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANA67Ogvu61Tp
496Please respect copyright.PENANAoNpw03dnFT
Raskreia: “Ha, I like you kid. I’ll think stick around then.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANA5iMFSCU2qS
496Please respect copyright.PENANAcoAenmyIDd
Tech: “Fine, pick a room and-”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAqNzBMK5sTI
496Please respect copyright.PENANArbwsVdlFw4
Dove: “Speaking of, can we customize them? They are kind of plain as is.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAbinKkMJCDN
496Please respect copyright.PENANAi7LcxRblXD
Tech: “Easy, but can we save it for tomorrow? Even I need rest.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAHYf0p0AfWB
496Please respect copyright.PENANA9xxjPvc3TU
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.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAhXzVqfGj8A
496Please respect copyright.PENANA1G2wzJcFas
Raskreia: “That must suck. You’ll probably have to sleep on the roof then.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAVC4JVDG22S
496Please respect copyright.PENANAJuDL4gSuJu
Dove: “I’m sure it won’t be so bad.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAgX4fTA914D
496Please respect copyright.PENANAgB4VKMKyM9
Dove: ‘Great, just when I found an actual bed to sleep in…’
496Please respect copyright.PENANAvIWh0hOGUK
496Please respect copyright.PENANAl6wqWKsNih
Tech: “I’m actually curious about your dragon form. I’ll walk out with you when you’re ready.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAEQyykdakpN
496Please respect copyright.PENANANWu2lD0RSx
Dove: “Alright.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANA21k00W5PvC
496Please respect copyright.PENANAGzxgWO0R7w
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANAQhyUuFOT4h
496Please respect copyright.PENANAl1MpNIAQgc
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.
496Please respect copyright.PENANA6E3QeHED6j
496Please respect copyright.PENANALohPA7BKQR
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.”
496Please respect copyright.PENANAuFcRoL7iFe
496Please respect copyright.PENANAX9jy84MZcH
With that, Tech went back into his lab to finish a few preparations for tomorrow. And then finally getting a good night’s sleep.
