Raskreia: “You don’t say? Makes me wish that I stayed.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAuli8oM3y1K
410Please respect copyright.PENANAJfO0wOKLXq
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAMPjIcjSUTN
410Please respect copyright.PENANALvaRWNKM3Z
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAtIofk4R1Ew
410Please respect copyright.PENANAh9RQusd82d
Zander: “I have a feeling things would have escalated even further if you were there.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAAImvLOEdnp
410Please respect copyright.PENANAVg0y8qv03j
Raskreia: “Ha, you’re probably right.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAZuQAY2Nlyq
410Please respect copyright.PENANAl4zWdfKYc5
Jake: “Alright! You’re done with the recap and learning who those 2 are. Can you help me get back home now?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANA6geSrkwtu9
410Please respect copyright.PENANAjpdVufFWGu
Raskreia: “Sure kid. What’s you’re world like?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAl4OLLdY6ON
410Please respect copyright.PENANAnvTmNQ0qY8
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANA77cjhzvpMu
410Please respect copyright.PENANAJvLtmZR6LG
Raskreia: “Well, I didn’t expect that. Considering your powers, I was sure your world would have been some, no offensive, hellscape.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAo1Wt59xbTo
410Please respect copyright.PENANA3L5WVILF0A
Jake: “I’m not the norm and I didn’t…ask for these abilities.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAJDztCUK5ul
410Please respect copyright.PENANAA0WWR5575G
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?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAkuTLOH4J3A
410Please respect copyright.PENANACHojOnhuna
Jake: “…Yes.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAp8jxhccY15
410Please respect copyright.PENANA8MDF5PxI4U
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAT578UnWdq9
410Please respect copyright.PENANABEN3rWe2z6
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAXA30brwJFe
410Please respect copyright.PENANAy8gOUHV7GP
Jake: ‘On the other hand, she could be found and killed…’
410Please respect copyright.PENANAR5qjljbiKx
410Please respect copyright.PENANABfF3s8e77n
Jake: “Damn it…”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAAyScMw6knk
410Please respect copyright.PENANAfaUK3oEAbQ
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAkcnTllke3L
410Please respect copyright.PENANAU8J9ntzmfZ
A strange sensation snapped Jake out of his mind. A warm and gentle feeling at his sides.
410Please respect copyright.PENANA1DgLkenlsD
410Please respect copyright.PENANAoyQ0XdLBgV
Raskeria: “Awwww.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAjWld5CbvI6
410Please respect copyright.PENANAXN0XPa1OdJ
Jake looks down to see Sylphid…nuzzling him. Sylphid began purring, in an attempt to soothe Jake.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAqydHsxTkoF
410Please respect copyright.PENANAKfXPOmp2V7
Jake: “What…is this thing doing?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAtFijbJRsU1
410Please respect copyright.PENANAR3OmivoRvK
Raskeria: “I think she likes you.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANA2uhxiJH3w8
410Please respect copyright.PENANAltpG0vo8IX
Jake: “Make it stop or I’ll make it stop.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAR6XbOY49DN
410Please respect copyright.PENANAETRVi73QgS
Zander: “Jake, Sylphid is not trying to attack you so there’s no need for that.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAV5FFrIuxbt
410Please respect copyright.PENANAmEuGzSx6Wz
Jake: “I don’t care.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAa0EXBXF6AM
410Please respect copyright.PENANAeSIfehfUjL
Jake got out of his chair and moved away from Sylphid. Sylphid didn’t follow but did look at Jake with…sympathy.
410Please respect copyright.PENANA0fQsswfuDO
410Please respect copyright.PENANAT5tEaYi77n
Jake: ‘Monsters don’t comfort and they definitely don’t need sympathy.’
410Please respect copyright.PENANAR4R7JxQeUD
410Please respect copyright.PENANAWJ5DjemhIX
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.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAOObcQFKS7u
410Please respect copyright.PENANAdTxvNZEQHj
Jake gave a dangerous glare at Slyphid before going back into the forest.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAPWfAIPlijy
410Please respect copyright.PENANAGy6Bkx5jPh
Raskeria: “Tabitha, you’re dragon is cute but she might also be suicidal if she wants to cuddle up with Jake.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAu6iNQFtzAN
410Please respect copyright.PENANAhg3Tr0K9mG
Tabitha said nothing but took the statement into consideration. Slyphid interest in Jake is definitely strange.
410Please respect copyright.PENANA9vnCPRHXO2
410Please respect copyright.PENANAZGGSo3ofFQ
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.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANALdhEeEluCi
410Please respect copyright.PENANAhzcVl8PBiC
Raskeria left the group and started exploring the academy. As for Zander, he still has to deal with Kirche.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAeXdxio7Kqb
410Please respect copyright.PENANAjLa0J6JCGD
Kirche: “Now, where were we?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAE1ChHKzu7S
410Please respect copyright.PENANA7qt4RJlGyH
She says while pressing her best assets against Zander.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAoamDAUouIZ
410Please respect copyright.PENANA0ofak4krxw
Zander sighs before answering her.
410Please respect copyright.PENANA2I1ONPproZ
410Please respect copyright.PENANALHx65Mb24T
Zander: “Miss Zerbst, I’d appreciate my arm back.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAejpF7VfjOi
410Please respect copyright.PENANAn0Tolv6o1n
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANA72ipK5Lwuf
410Please respect copyright.PENANApmW40umk2c
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.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANABkOqh8QaTS
410Please respect copyright.PENANAbjCa2wwdBD
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.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANA6gWn6AIm1y
410Please respect copyright.PENANA2UrLeaqYKD
Kirche: “So you have gate spell just that woman? When will you be back?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAl1BDMCzjJ5
410Please respect copyright.PENANAqDHF9BvNmK
Zander: “I’ll be back by tomorrow. I don’t want to miss the big fight.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAWOpccMtCzP
410Please respect copyright.PENANAqYxnIZnlJE
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANASJE44AeteH
410Please respect copyright.PENANAgI6QUn9HlG
Zander stepped through the warp, disappearing completely into murky shadows. They seemed to grow within themselves like monsters trapped beyond a mirror.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAms1axpzH4c
410Please respect copyright.PENANAteSFM4ZeFd
Kirche: “Haaa, Tabitha I think I’m in love.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAVgznOrCXDl
410Please respect copyright.PENANAlROTomFa6r
Tech: “So you’re the one who accepted the familiar thing?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAIA8HZPqi0B
410Please respect copyright.PENANAeeNQcljWaL
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAW53yV0IDeq

Flamma: “I have my reasons.”

410Please respect copyright.PENANABaEd0mn5xz
410Please respect copyright.PENANAZ8tcZ19PHl
Flamma: “It’s not that bad. It’s not like I let Louise command like a dog. I’m not a masochistic.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAfGnfZqEgaD
410Please respect copyright.PENANAk9nWxeERl9
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAkKbjwLN6Kz
410Please respect copyright.PENANA8vG1uAhskq
But she is also terrified for them. If they died for her…
410Please respect copyright.PENANAW0rm18XCmq
410Please respect copyright.PENANAyvKdv4IpUw
Siesta: “You shouldn’t have done that.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAPI50cEF616
410Please respect copyright.PENANA4awrTgnrT8
She says softly but it still got the three to pay attention.

Dove: “Do what?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAFxoDcmg42H

Siesta: “Accepted Guiche’s challenge! It’s too dangerous!”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAPh2GLvcPIl

Tech: “Ha, dangerous for him maybe.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAJBBfX74zz8

Siesta: “But…”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAvc2QQH4hA1
410Please respect copyright.PENANA8fIbcHTTCi
Flamma put her hand on Siesta’s shoulder and smiled softly.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAQHdoJQuYh5
410Please respect copyright.PENANAU4L0gavzsY
Flamma: “Trust us Siesta. You’ll be pleasantly surprised if you do.
410Please respect copyright.PENANACpbSB1o6F1
410Please respect copyright.PENANAkO13AQmp1K
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAf03YltaqBR
410Please respect copyright.PENANAgqjA677Xtm
Siesta: “Okay, I trust you.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAaxwd3DHOU1

What else could she say in front of that?
410Please respect copyright.PENANAmLnP8jrJJe
410Please respect copyright.PENANA3IQYdL7cvp

410Please respect copyright.PENANAanSY7sjEgx

Tech: “Probably somewhere with enough room. Probably one of the courtyards.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAdDR2vd40jG
410Please respect copyright.PENANAeQ2Ai7fEjN
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.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAroeUN13u0l
410Please respect copyright.PENANA3AqVaeMnnI

With that, Dove and Siesta left Tech for his final repairs.

Louise would have gone crazy from the boredom and maybe anger at her double. But her thoughts were on what her familiar told her.
410Please respect copyright.PENANA16RZ9RgrSx
410Please respect copyright.PENANACLlxPDi3hu
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.’
410Please respect copyright.PENANAddl3LNsmoK
410Please respect copyright.PENANAelmhhJEOxh
Louise laid down after eating her food delivered by her familiar and a maid. But she still barely had the energy to move.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAzWVst5BxCH
410Please respect copyright.PENANAT6lXLJKWuc
Louise: “Argh! When I get my hands on that faker, I’ll tear her apart! I hate being stuck like this!”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAKDkWgz2mna

“Do you need sssome asssissstance massster?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAMuCjWF9Qo0

Louise: “Who’s there!? Familiar?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAMhuuon1Br7

“Ooooone of theeem.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANACo0tIBjsdx
410Please respect copyright.PENANAfuMvpdUeOR
A white snake slithered out of the darkness of the room and raised it’s head so Louise can see it.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAJfWqc2DZUr
410Please respect copyright.PENANAm8Cz7I1oXu
Louise: “Are you…like that dragon? How can you talk?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANArm38XDHGSG

“My former masssster taught me to ssspeak.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAelUtfUi8Yo
410Please respect copyright.PENANAYfULU4OCf9

“Oh yesss. I sssserved a mossst powerful wizard.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAjXnpZ6QzmU

Louise: “Great, so I stole a familiar from a noble…”
410Please respect copyright.PENANA32f05uPGTz
410Please respect copyright.PENANARs6Ht7KuOx
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…’
410Please respect copyright.PENANASXA1jEG47y
410Please respect copyright.PENANAaSailPtDhr
“Dooont’ worrrry, my masssster died a long time ago.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANA05imcQU9Xh
410Please respect copyright.PENANABorq9wwyz2
That put some hope in Louise’s eyes. Maybe she can make this snake her familiar. Much better than that commoner.
410Please respect copyright.PENANASh5PIHUPJU
410Please respect copyright.PENANAb8ufFhYMa2
Louise: “Then…will be my familiar?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAYvglmLfB80
410Please respect copyright.PENANAIOYIsq00y9
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANACuHTe8H6yp
410Please respect copyright.PENANAq3eUIrmY4K
“Do you haaaave the streength?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANANckFarvVNp

410Please respect copyright.PENANAdDYpF9Dr12
410Please respect copyright.PENANAX9GEB6NtcR
What seemed like a smirk flashed on the snake’s face.
410Please respect copyright.PENANArzYUkwJjwu
410Please respect copyright.PENANACB4y8DBeR8
“Theeen yeees, I’ll beee your faaamiliar.”

Aeoron: “My naaame is Aeron, my soooon to be master.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANACrbdHJJ7J8
410Please respect copyright.PENANALoBEjl5IpU
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAGmfL2JkyDT
410Please respect copyright.PENANA5u4ZWmoCqE
Louise: “Be grateful, you’re the second of my familiars. I will conquer the rest and then…”
410Please respect copyright.PENANA0Tf6uMCZwH
410Please respect copyright.PENANAy0vVlmI8Mg
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.’
410Please respect copyright.PENANAlEzggwxmxj
410Please respect copyright.PENANAHjjfqQKIUC
Louise smiled and placed her wand on the snake’s forehead before chanting.
410Please respect copyright.PENANArzQWVEGEQf
410Please respect copyright.PENANA4moI17Nex2
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.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAuZOUrOtiYf
410Please respect copyright.PENANArmc8xpLWib
After chanting, she removed her wand from his forehead and stretched forward to kiss him.
410Please respect copyright.PENANALzLKZhdSz8
410Please respect copyright.PENANAGiNeJ99slj
After a few moments, a new and different brand appears on the snake.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAb2e0fbFXXn
410Please respect copyright.PENANAbwN8zg4bvR
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.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAUICnRTMWVw
410Please respect copyright.PENANAgoDqspOzmO
Louise expected to fall right to sleep after performing another ritual, but instead, she feels fine. Better than fine actually. Almost normal.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAL3dCciuZbt
410Please respect copyright.PENANA5onBhG4olB
Louise: “I thought I would be tired after that.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAgSLxtaVAwx

Aeron: “I took the liberty to heal you of your affliction using a spell.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAD43aXgzRqi
410Please respect copyright.PENANArvfyzHANRV

410Please respect copyright.PENANAs61sO2fGvY
410Please respect copyright.PENANAsIiHNuEtvZ
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."
410Please respect copyright.PENANAw6MyNC43Vb
410Please respect copyright.PENANA1nlkiup36D
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…
410Please respect copyright.PENANAlhGhtm9fQl
410Please respect copyright.PENANAszJVCKYZqn
Louise: "HOW DARE YOU!"

Aeron: “…Baleful Polymorph."
410Please respect copyright.PENANAQino3lcZmr
410Please respect copyright.PENANAQIKzJhgEIO
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAlGQMrvXxDa
410Please respect copyright.PENANAqvHdsBF1D3
Aeron: "Ah, you're still awake, perfect"
410Please respect copyright.PENANAaFh1BDlkT2
410Please respect copyright.PENANAGsGKBsodzR
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAi5r9Jl1kP0

410Please respect copyright.PENANAHkx6xe9bel
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANALSBRAThDjC
410Please respect copyright.PENANAfWOHcwEiEZ
Where she was supposed to be, was now a toad standing beside Aeron. She would have screamed but only more strange noises emerged.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAOHY7Hihv58
410Please respect copyright.PENANADmcXrPXphb
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.’
410Please respect copyright.PENANAqtgb5ssE9b
410Please respect copyright.PENANA2WLQuVkoOx
Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard Aeron laugh.
410Please respect copyright.PENANADkZs4XOi1j
410Please respect copyright.PENANA8q2A1L9IfD
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."
410Please respect copyright.PENANAsFBAYPsbDX
410Please respect copyright.PENANAq2cG8PTv0J
Louise: ‘Why?!’
410Please respect copyright.PENANAU1mrJ7dJUn
410Please respect copyright.PENANACZlih907g3
She tries to ask with her mouth but only animals escape it.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAh9VnqZFrJS
410Please respect copyright.PENANA7xLOY309Ux
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.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANA1XZNw3zd5G
410Please respect copyright.PENANAVWRBJHtXgx
Louise: ‘I will learn! I will learn! Please just turn me back!’
410Please respect copyright.PENANA4IuKbh4Y2u
410Please respect copyright.PENANALIw6j0JHiW
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."
410Please respect copyright.PENANAEQU97WKhls
410Please respect copyright.PENANAvOQO22kBqe
Louise: ‘I command you to turn me back familiar!’
410Please respect copyright.PENANA7xjThC7jOa
410Please respect copyright.PENANA61ogPiG4C4
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?"
410Please respect copyright.PENANAwxL07q7FAD
410Please respect copyright.PENANA94cBX1VqlZ
Louise: ‘Because...you're my familiar?’
410Please respect copyright.PENANABNH7skPuia
410Please respect copyright.PENANAGt7r9zBJWP
Aeron: "Goodbye little one"
410Please respect copyright.PENANAelNKeNkw0Z
410Please respect copyright.PENANAJTVV4OCEl6
Aeron changed his shape back into his human form and started to meld into the shadow of the room.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAFv1IZbDxzB
410Please respect copyright.PENANAi4SatuarQw
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?
410Please respect copyright.PENANAYHA2KXseMx
410Please respect copyright.PENANArmgcCXl95M
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?’
410Please respect copyright.PENANAZnCnEtGVpO
410Please respect copyright.PENANAEGCCgNQdhE
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANArPJbrf3ySj
410Please respect copyright.PENANAXqnLbtuhLx
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANA1R2xUdyNmh
410Please respect copyright.PENANAPMv6kc6Elv
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAMIKf4b4fXM
410Please respect copyright.PENANAeVOOMSZId1
Before despair fully broke her, she heard laughter coming from the darkness that surrounded her.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAfV8vnqisYY
410Please respect copyright.PENANAzYJhVHEInd
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."
410Please respect copyright.PENANAXxzz22B2lA
410Please respect copyright.PENANAMdHmnCNY5T
Aeron emerged from the shadows and snapped his fingers.Louise found herself back on the bed, looking at her hands.
410Please respect copyright.PENANASZV1Cph37Y
410Please respect copyright.PENANA7gZhlwvfqp
Louise: ‘I’m…back.’
410Please respect copyright.PENANAp0BLoeYrwP
410Please respect copyright.PENANAn4JjZHaVLm
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…
410Please respect copyright.PENANA4nmZJ60RuU
410Please respect copyright.PENANAdJQau9ABJs
After she got a hold of herself, she spotted Aeron, not as a snake but as a human.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAOrRMVTmQIn
410Please respect copyright.PENANAzSzCNjLTza
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?
410Please respect copyright.PENANAgNxLjD7DnH
410Please respect copyright.PENANAufbKpbLAqz
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAFWuISyWbNd
410Please respect copyright.PENANAXux0D9WGo6
Louise: "So, w-why can you use magic? A-Are you a noble?"
410Please respect copyright.PENANAkc2Pwo92np
410Please respect copyright.PENANAAxqiHAt4Fk
Chuckling Aeron seated himself in one of the chairs in the room.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAxuFdstuimy
410Please respect copyright.PENANAyomAIvE4rD
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."
410Please respect copyright.PENANAVvcZUeIXka
410Please respect copyright.PENANA0Y4z0dgN2x
Louise: "But how? Nobility comes from magic. Unless…you’re not from this world. Just like the others.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAGgudOdxG4M
410Please respect copyright.PENANAtfbtbOA7S2
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.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAkoau6W5aQG
410Please respect copyright.PENANA3uSH8yB1BE
Aeron: “Now, back to teaching you magic. First, let go of the wand. You won’t need it for my magic.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAaVrKXJxuRx
410Please respect copyright.PENANAqTX0baG6cw
Louise: “So you’ll be teaching me what that Raskeria girl did.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANA1knkzzRAIu
410Please respect copyright.PENANAKjzFh43kUt
Aeron: “…Something like that.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANA7hd6WTV9uX
410Please respect copyright.PENANA1jio9HwuEv
Louise: “Can I…really do that? I’m not from your world.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAoQNWjVfNeK
410Please respect copyright.PENANAikFr5V1Fw1
Aeron: “Trust me. Unless…you want to be a Zero all your life.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAJO2HHL7Q3E
410Please respect copyright.PENANAcIwoV6aRdz
Louise: “NO!”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAHPQEUUAWoP
410Please respect copyright.PENANAC60JhmmxyF
Aeron: “Then let go of the wand.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAgDS6WKA4dL
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAuESVuXEgds
410Please respect copyright.PENANAqpNHNsKvq5
Aeron then proceeded to crush it underfoot, sending its pieces across the floor. That part of her life…is now dead.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAmoP5miARno
410Please respect copyright.PENANAIQfBnZmlWX
Aeron: “When I’m done, you’ll be able to do that binding ritual with a finger. Now…”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAAnE0KoltZh
410Please respect copyright.PENANAr0c0FkGXl3
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAyQq3cOQY4H
410Please respect copyright.PENANAgyUnLN3SFQ
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAgdGBrA0PBf
410Please respect copyright.PENANAe1oVIr0wWd
Louise: "Whats this?"
410Please respect copyright.PENANArX42B8BkhL
410Please respect copyright.PENANAFT7lwBinNU
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."
410Please respect copyright.PENANAwLSfGF7geC
410Please respect copyright.PENANAfPi12ySSUT
Louise: "...I...can't read these runes."
410Please respect copyright.PENANAi7jbBK3rdH
410Please respect copyright.PENANAaAZAbxuh3w
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAz2A2cOXVRp
410Please respect copyright.PENANA4ORKAlNAKl
Aeron smirked behind his mask.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAqJDGOZdo00
410Please respect copyright.PENANAOQbIcy9HTL
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."
410Please respect copyright.PENANAWtui2sVk6R
410Please respect copyright.PENANAj4LlPCJorj
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAnkyFGWFYiq
410Please respect copyright.PENANAqM3rp9c5di
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."
410Please respect copyright.PENANARFnvtaPMCf
410Please respect copyright.PENANAd7gFmOHBmL
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAxPJUCxvcON
410Please respect copyright.PENANAxrfKPVSSMg
Aeron looked blankly at her before continuing on.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAitU3y65XCT
410Please respect copyright.PENANAT2KVA3YYM0
Aeron: "Okay, how long have you studied magic?"
410Please respect copyright.PENANAY5VmtRJT8r
410Please respect copyright.PENANAWRrtZg2UhG
Louise: "Since I could lift a wand. I am a noble after all"
410Please respect copyright.PENANAMnHyMmP9bU
410Please respect copyright.PENANA3qIxpX0caG
Aeron: "Very well, I will show you the spell and you pay attention"
410Please respect copyright.PENANA0nBr9llFkK
410Please respect copyright.PENANAGCYkBwX2Hp
He spoke so she could understand him easily and memorize it.
410Please respect copyright.PENANACtOhnF7JXB
410Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2YmJ4fDl6
Aeron: "Silent Image."
410Please respect copyright.PENANAmhF7nN56yb
410Please respect copyright.PENANAkFOqdyRd42
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAAZhHdhv6tK
410Please respect copyright.PENANAocVUqMk4Lq
Aeron: "Have you memorized the incantation?"
410Please respect copyright.PENANAyTMEHw53JA
410Please respect copyright.PENANAP1sr4gF35v
Louise nodded.
410Please respect copyright.PENANATRddzmIf4f
410Please respect copyright.PENANALl9a6zVRfn
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."
410Please respect copyright.PENANA1R4KeK7KjG
410Please respect copyright.PENANA5Q1O9COwAe
The girl nodded again and closed her eyes. After a few minutes of testing the spell in her thoughts, she took a deep breath.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAeUMWchu8Dg
410Please respect copyright.PENANAI8h4RnXlEp
She opened her eyes and focused her mind on the spell, moving her delicate fingers she spoke.
410Please respect copyright.PENANADY9lG6FRS3
410Please respect copyright.PENANALG1nbhqpwr
Louise: "Silent Image!"
410Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8mlM2aCDI
410Please respect copyright.PENANA9b0kGA2wDm
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAeNoarFcSkE
410Please respect copyright.PENANAswvx9asnb8
Louise: “I did it…I cast…a spell…”
410Please respect copyright.PENANASQSAQKXclC
410Please respect copyright.PENANAnhCvOT5MZP
She continued to sob as Aeron rolled his eyes. But that roll instantly turned into a gaze of alertness.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAXK9tOP4vF8
410Please respect copyright.PENANAylCuakCJyb
Aeron: ‘Seems like the fun is over for now.’
410Please respect copyright.PENANAxB3Ex1N8NT
410Please respect copyright.PENANALG9Iayxpt5
Aeron got up and dispelled the illusion of Flamma.
410Please respect copyright.PENANArHVdj73buk
410Please respect copyright.PENANANzRIwYSx5B
Aeron: “Louise, I need you to keep what we’re learning from the other familiars and even the teachers and students..”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAfNwhKWMljW
410Please respect copyright.PENANA32PdrIgoZK
Louise wiped away her tears and turned to her true teacher.
410Please respect copyright.PENANADsNMbGBOXH
410Please respect copyright.PENANASqSsrK1NQW
Louise: “But why?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANABVwQAnhDTg
410Please respect copyright.PENANAR72mPcATEm
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.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANANY3mDLBR1L
410Please respect copyright.PENANAK6znf12xry
Louise: “I guess…that makes sense.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAmO66PAEiGQ
410Please respect copyright.PENANAS9BlZxjRyc
Louise: ‘Shame, I did want to brag to Flamma.’
410Please respect copyright.PENANAMMayRvmN9O
410Please respect copyright.PENANAQdHQX6UK5M
Louise: “But why not the teachers and students?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAZVMOwjNQmy
410Please respect copyright.PENANAbg6kNzS8QW
Aeron: “Similar reasons. This magic is beyond them. Wouldn’t want them to, I don’t know, ban me from teaching you.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAqYsYKHo4Gt
410Please respect copyright.PENANANZqKUxEhbq
Louise: “I won’t let that happen!”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAxK6TnEgzB8
410Please respect copyright.PENANAgErNj9v3qn
Aeron: “Good. Now, I’ll see you later. When you’re alone once again.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAnz0IiYphF8
410Please respect copyright.PENANA0Mw8mTcA0B
With that, Aeron faded into the darkness of the room. Just in time for the door to open, revealing Flamma.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAvBijcuuiuR
410Please respect copyright.PENANAGcRRSe9ZKx
Flamma: “Hey Louise wait until I…are you crying?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAanMlAskMA1
410Please respect copyright.PENANAs6UA93wAD2
Flamma knelt beside Louise and looked at her with worry.
410Please respect copyright.PENANA4h8pM2IwOL
410Please respect copyright.PENANAO0t7IHvHLc
Louise: “No, I just had something in my eye.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAdPH5H7qp8U
410Please respect copyright.PENANAekHFHFqMNZ
Flamma: “Are you sure? Nothing happened while I was gone right?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAQInODwxzJG
410Please respect copyright.PENANAsHD8GNFVUI
Louise: “No, I’m fine Flamma.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAyMKJKWJ0st
410Please respect copyright.PENANA5CsbJAv77v
Flamma: “Oh, no familiar. What did I do to deserve this treatment?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAxV9EzJb9Vq
410Please respect copyright.PENANAWF4MbxKzJX
Louise: “Hmph, you’re still my familiar. But you also have a name. It’s also much easier to say than familiar.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANA7vtfTTsT3H
410Please respect copyright.PENANAawBMuVZpAb
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.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAGBVSBCFfki
410Please respect copyright.PENANAuirCeEXMyA
Louise: “Something else happened?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANANxh0fAH47f
410Please respect copyright.PENANA0dhGNawJXD
Flamma: “You know it. You summoned some interesting characters.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAUChaN2EuQL
410Please respect copyright.PENANA6rzPULhzfN
As Flamma began to retell the events of the day, Louise couldn’t help but softly smile. Her life was really looking up.
410Please respect copyright.PENANABJBCyHqhIu
410Please respect copyright.PENANA0sumz595KQ
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAmbv04VpFm3
410Please respect copyright.PENANABX4PR717iL
Tech: ‘And thanks to subspace technology, it can all fit in a small space and leave lots of room. I love science.’
410Please respect copyright.PENANAqIfzQNfG5C
410Please respect copyright.PENANAwJWzb2qgcg
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANA0DFvGfPhBh
410Please respect copyright.PENANAKrSnNFdYT0
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAapa1JKSb5H
410Please respect copyright.PENANA9Hxw4rZTvG
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAcs2lhfiB9g
410Please respect copyright.PENANAyUrYNDnTIQ
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAoUDTtJ4NSl
410Please respect copyright.PENANAhLRmYBgsVW
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANACTUU9cggmF
410Please respect copyright.PENANArccJg4rmHd
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANA6tluSUvL1d
410Please respect copyright.PENANAh4iXbYvPeS
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAs1JGiuDIty
410Please respect copyright.PENANARWnklURfC1
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAEiSWFAbOqo
410Please respect copyright.PENANASJu4KYwisF
The inside was 200 feet and had 20 doors leading to 15ft living rooms, 12ft bedrooms, two different shower rooms, and a 10ft kitchen.
410Please respect copyright.PENANASPWlzpNEN7
410Please respect copyright.PENANAKXJAFbK0bX
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.

Dove: “The Deep Elves and they were the most advanced race on Nirn. Their machines still exist to this day.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAy26fblgk3u
410Please respect copyright.PENANADMdHQSCHPd
Tech: “Were? Oh, let me guess. They blew themselves up to kingdom come.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANABr2j6R4TjY
410Please respect copyright.PENANAtIm7Xk3gxI
Dove: “More like messed with the heart of a god and thus erased their entire race from existence in an instant.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANANcTeFaiv3e
410Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3c2zR8Zuq
Tech: “…Okay, didn’t expect that. I’m assuming this was thousands of years ago.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAqGKOkT9bio
410Please respect copyright.PENANA4kehQWjuSI
Dove: “Before you say it’s an exaggeration, don’t. It wasn’t that long ago and some elves do remember what happened.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAgblW0JAz3G
410Please respect copyright.PENANAD1ejzEuzSm
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!”
410Please respect copyright.PENANA0cPcWEdPmY
410Please respect copyright.PENANA1SxxEWRlE4
Dove: “The multiverse is a crazy and mysterious place. But enough about that, can I come in?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAN5SldMnIDw
410Please respect copyright.PENANAZYGXFqVXIg
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAhw8pobacQe
410Please respect copyright.PENANAvK2HdLPGHb
When it did, it brought the due to Tech’s lab. He breathed in the air in it and sighed in joy.
410Please respect copyright.PENANA62YFsVHZj1
410Please respect copyright.PENANAUcFfVhOVQ7
Tech: "Thank you lord for filtered air!"
410Please respect copyright.PENANA3O4bNPdAWI
410Please respect copyright.PENANAHAoMjx3d17
Dove: “This place feel…weird.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAx1ZSf8DVpR
410Please respect copyright.PENANAJOZVZa4g0u
Tech: “That’s super clean air for you. Breathe it in and enjoy.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAGeynyvQaNG
410Please respect copyright.PENANAMLEirl6GGm
Tech practically skipped to his most beloved thing, something he dearly missed. The TTACCOA or The Totally Awesome Command Chair Of Awesomeness.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAIuPpB4V9vR
410Please respect copyright.PENANAc8od7rS8i2
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAICUCjQJGqK
410Please respect copyright.PENANA3QJseVKBML
Dove: “You look like you’re having fun.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAqnX0LEVsaA
410Please respect copyright.PENANAtiLSFwu0Ry
Tech: “This is my happy place.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAyelPheLODI
410Please respect copyright.PENANA5gLnwU4zWB
Dove: “A chair?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAkoViQLEUTD
410Please respect copyright.PENANA4FrMEoPJpP
Tech: “The most awesome chair you’ll ever see! Because I don’t want you sitting in it. This baby is all for me.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAeQGrHPcBNw
410Please respect copyright.PENANA6vFi6LTTEI
Dove: “Don’t worry, I won’t touch your…baby.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAeYyimcGkJg
410Please respect copyright.PENANArwSKtYX1p3
Tech: “Good, because I sadly have to leave it. I need a Nano-Bath to further repair my body for the work ahead.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAkr2yNuy0eN
410Please respect copyright.PENANAYE11g4D477
Dove: “You know, I do healing magic so-”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAV2f1ADSjDO
410Please respect copyright.PENANALm2jfHsFVJ
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.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAfRB7ar6xSH
410Please respect copyright.PENANAIbhjn1hNxf
Dove sighed before letting Tech have his way. He’s definitely the most interesting and strangest of the familiars summoned.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAP5a59kUYwb
410Please respect copyright.PENANAA5E9OWnjaA
Tech: “Feel to look around and marvel. There will be signs to show you around.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAq9AwfhHNAl
410Please respect copyright.PENANAWj0gi868qY
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANARMVh6IZDvt
410Please respect copyright.PENANAjRG0NrHFSQ
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANA015RMbVh6W
410Please respect copyright.PENANAU3WEdMgFVg
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.’
410Please respect copyright.PENANASeXwLSGlYS
410Please respect copyright.PENANALGBGGRJ8ly
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANANFTIoMzqWc
410Please respect copyright.PENANA3M0GiZgshI
“What the hell is this?!”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAeSISekYQGS
410Please respect copyright.PENANAX4Fc8SfpTH
Dove: “Who’s there?!”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAxXofGtcIhX
410Please respect copyright.PENANArsN5EijmEv
Dove said while looking around for any possible enemy.
410Please respect copyright.PENANArmJJlLF8pf
410Please respect copyright.PENANAbgbLBkq68f
Tech: “It’s a sound transmission from outside Dove, no one is attacking.’
410Please respect copyright.PENANAOjzEiUT1g6
410Please respect copyright.PENANA5ROYNK99YY
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANASDLwNPsbhN
410Please respect copyright.PENANA91QO4jwiTx
Standing outside is Raskreia who is looking at the screen with an interested look.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAonCUsd2HXB
410Please respect copyright.PENANAcBoateQI34
Raskreia: “Oh, I get it. Okay, who built this? I swear it wasn’t the last time I checked.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANABU6bMm5EOx
410Please respect copyright.PENANAgWaEGhKeUd
Tech: “One of us?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAeht0quPVk6
410Please respect copyright.PENANAq50QtQuMhf
Dove: “Yeah, the one who can use the gate spell to go back home. She’s currently helping Jake first.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANA1PmNr6MKhm
410Please respect copyright.PENANA2Lj29oPBOl
Tech: “Really? I was sure she tricked everyone and left on her own. Well, let’s go greet her.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANALKwztmZTOr
410Please respect copyright.PENANARNULDfimIK
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7oMA6Q2Is
410Please respect copyright.PENANACl94S62KsT
Raskreia: “Whoa, aren’t that sick kid from back then?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAY3QVhduTSA
410Please respect copyright.PENANANVOPQTVyDH
Tech: “Yeah, I got better.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAZZ3Hw2ELlN
410Please respect copyright.PENANAVbnX3GVdJs
Raskreia: “I see, and who is this?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAsK3r7f3bse
410Please respect copyright.PENANACJiXO4oc48
Dove: “I’m Dovahkiin. Call me Dove when I’m in this form.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAthcIIgBHRq
410Please respect copyright.PENANA3YKYNnq7R9
Raskreia: “No way, really? Zander didn’t mention that. Does that mean you’re undercover or something?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAzVi40gtQLI
410Please respect copyright.PENANAWb23YUhgmA
Dove: “Something like that, I’ll tell you on the way. Come in.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAazb0FIoNuI
410Please respect copyright.PENANAoeksl71mLn
Tech: “You know, it should be me inviting her in. This is my base after all.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAJroZMKdwmZ
410Please respect copyright.PENANAY7gHnAycbM
Dove: “Can she come in?”
410Please respect copyright.PENANA6bhP4BcTdl
410Please respect copyright.PENANAZPceaQNxJC
Tech: “I didn’t say she couldn’t. Just…come on.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAZKm3w9EZZt
410Please respect copyright.PENANA15rwEfYGYT
The trio went back inside and headed toward the lab. Dove filled Rask in on their situation.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAx582dO4YWK
410Please respect copyright.PENANAqKwNX2kZ8p
Raskreia: “Wow, I probably shouldn’t leave then. The next time I come back, the entire country might be in flames.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANA8IA2ySq1UU
410Please respect copyright.PENANAgfsZIbnCbi
Raskreia: ‘I probably shouldn’t reveal my true form either. These people would go nuts!’
410Please respect copyright.PENANAVNziNDgbki
410Please respect copyright.PENANALNoao2fGu4
Dove: “No need to worry about that, I wouldn’t let it happen. I have a 100% success rate in saving the world.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAVdGGS62p7i
410Please respect copyright.PENANAlzWKu7qx4z
Tech: “Well, since you’re here make yourself a home and marvel at my creations. It’s going to get even more amazing tomorrow.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAy7b2ZzwNlx
410Please respect copyright.PENANAC2MqatR6K1
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.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANA9BWkpRP4MQ
410Please respect copyright.PENANAQbZKlgUL5q
Tech: “Oh don’t worry, I have systems in place in case you’re feeling suicidal.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAF9CpikHhfw
410Please respect copyright.PENANAGpdTlcdnKP
Raskreia: “Ha, I like you kid. I’ll think stick around then.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAhWRJ0sBEUr
410Please respect copyright.PENANA4QTzElT7Y0
Tech: “Fine, pick a room and-”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAWfAGJ1EX8h
410Please respect copyright.PENANAgtUlGqAQAd
Dove: “Speaking of, can we customize them? They are kind of plain as is.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANA91tR9CMU6I
410Please respect copyright.PENANAknG7C4lOR6
Tech: “Easy, but can we save it for tomorrow? Even I need rest.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAsRq7GyOY33
410Please respect copyright.PENANAt5qnOOldF2
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.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANASJ0RinrRg4
410Please respect copyright.PENANAY2TrmWCCO4
Raskreia: “That must suck. You’ll probably have to sleep on the roof then.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAnwHLJAEL0R
410Please respect copyright.PENANAKBAhixI0IJ
Dove: “I’m sure it won’t be so bad.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAzD9LAiEeGu
410Please respect copyright.PENANAWQtdOqE6nv
Dove: ‘Great, just when I found an actual bed to sleep in…’
410Please respect copyright.PENANAjYfQdK4lRM
410Please respect copyright.PENANARD9JhSB72q
Tech: “I’m actually curious about your dragon form. I’ll walk out with you when you’re ready.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAYTXVxg8Pt6
410Please respect copyright.PENANA5yomkmmjRO
Dove: “Alright.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANAtkWYLUYSTN
410Please respect copyright.PENANABxl9xod1SY
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAeLpe7GBXSr
410Please respect copyright.PENANAlls11pPKKZ
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.
410Please respect copyright.PENANAxHEoLbscBk
410Please respect copyright.PENANATCpGkWQjcw
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.”
410Please respect copyright.PENANANknXWbNsPo
410Please respect copyright.PENANAOgSdzwTleB
With that, Tech went back into his lab to finish a few preparations for tomorrow. And then finally getting a good night’s sleep.
