Siesta was blown away by what she was seeing. A white clean world with strange tasting air unlike anything she was used to. Regardless, she stepped onto a strange large platform with her dearest friends. Then it shook before sinking down, making her grab onto Dove.

Tech: “This is nothing. I’ve upgraded things while Dove was away.”

Once the platform was deep enough, two sets of steel doors closed over head. Then the door before them opened revealing a very large room.

All around, the group saw things being moved about by metal arms moving on their own. Little metal golems flew about, fiddling and carrying things around the complex.

108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UgKydicnA
To everyone but Dove, it was strange and alien.

Dove: “You sure you’re not a Dwemer?”

Siesta: “T-Tech, what is all of this?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f0gWvgKuP
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeY5seHMNG

After saying his piece, Tech made his way over to an another platform and spread out his arms, waiting. After a second, hands and arms came out and aided in removing his armor then reassembling it on a nearby rack. They then gave him back his goggles and headphone before he came back down. But something was off, he was a little…pale.

Tech led the group to another lift which took them to another room above. Not as large as the last but it was more organized, something like a dorm room.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFR8mkw2sr

Dove opened the closest door and to her surprise, it had a medieval style design. Not quite the Nord design she’s used to but it’s better than everything else here.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmcdRTPoFc
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM85hnMxdy

She says as she looks around the well-designed room. A room fit for a noble…
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gvfoJkEB4

Siesta: “Why Flamma?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb57uWaTlSi
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgWLKIgV43
Flamma: “Don’t get me wrong, I like the design and will visit. But…I don’t want to leave Louise alone.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7QoAFtxXb
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpppu96bxNi

108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOnO0PbLco
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVVreqYrLt
Dove: “Does this have something to do with why you decided to be Louise’s familiar?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdQdvBvuFl
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpHx6XOTGQ
Tech: “And getting branded like an animal, I might add.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvU9BwIojE
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5dsqp1C4m
Flamma looked at them and wondered if she should reveal what she felt. Would they use Louise and abuse her potential? After a moment, the answer was clear to see.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm8sIFTXh2
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLrtlNbb8U
Tech is too proud to do it, Dove has no need of it and Siesta is too sweet. But how much to tell, that’s the question.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR4YpneeXe
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwagjwQ0PM
Flamma: “Yeah, I’ll explain if you’re sure this place is secure.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFXlYcdOAW
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXlJvAQQBP
Tech: “Trust me when I say, there is no safer place on this planet. So, what’s so special about the girl? Besides her admittedly impressive summoning ability.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0KjFurFTd

Flamma: “Do any of you know of Void Magic?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaD6DizJlqy

Flamma: “You know, don’t you?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AMFBbZTVn
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5dh25mBI2
Siesta: “N-Not much but I’ve heard that it’s the lost fifth element, far more powerful than the rest and related to the Founder Brimir. Are you saying-”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8X6fwdT4X
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoDd64a32q
Flamma: “Yes, Louise has Void Magic but it’s more than that. The power I sensed within her is…incredible. It’s may even surpass my power.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufwl5l3qyy
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlA1CFpW2G
Dove: “Y-You’re surely joking.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnys3jTaWz

Seista: “Is Miss Louise truly that powerful?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEWvcZhTop
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgYlTY3BzD

Tech hands the three of them a steel rod with a blue slit down the center.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DrESwquUA
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomMFfHNmam
Dove: “I’d rather a sword.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZf8lt74MF
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE5iX0KDer
Before Flamma can quip herself, a thin sheet of harden light shot out from the side of the rod.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS35RYtMlO9
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJE5fON5Jhi
Tech: “Information is the most powerful tool at our disposal, don’t waste it.”

Dove: “Why give us all of this information?”

He winks before leaving for his own room to recover for the day. Meanwhile, the maid trio looked down at their data pads.

Siesta: “How do we use this?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsihs9md82e
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm3Tekj4m8
Unbeknownst to everyone in Tech’s base, something had slithered in. A snake on a mission. But even Aeron had to admit that the place was well secured and impressive.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UODinYSt3
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWalAXNhktd
But it’s magical defenses were lacking and made it easier than expected to invade. At first, he was going to get in, kill Tech, and get out. But he lucked out and heard some interesting information about Louise.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeMEvdhRhc
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyBelZWYT9
Aeron: ‘Her value just went up. If I’m lucky, I may even be able to steal this Void Magic for myself. But first…’
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ120KjBHEOA
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNloh9WRbW4
Aeron made sure to follow Tech to his room. The room was the cleanest he’s ever seen and was covered in soft shades of white and blue. Tech went to a strange capsule and taped on a panel with bumps. The capsule opened and Aeron saw his chance. While in his invisible snake form, he used a modified Ray of Sickness on Tech.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm53xOvJs1
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMIej3lg1U
Tech slumbed forward a bit but catching himself. He shook his head before regaining his footing.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrFi5h0R6T
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSIHrfepav
Tech: “Whoa, I might need this more than I thought.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yMNfuhvy3

Aeron: ‘That’s one threat dealt with.’
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4r80O0U1F
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwmAMXiBeC
Aeron slithered away with a smile while Tech got into the capsule. The poison was made slow but this way, no foul play would be suspected. Tech is sickly after all.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfCVOAAmZM
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gG3F6fVaL
Thanks to a small A.I sphere named NAVI that emerged from the data pad, the maid trio learned much more about the world of Tech. And it was…a lot to process.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPeH2NCjxM
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTIDVyTYWc
Siesta: “Tech’s world is scary…”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnSP0VNTiR
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYlCrsOJRM
Flamma: “I’m more surprised that Tech was sick like this his whole life. For him to then spit in destiny’s face and still succeed at life is badass. Even becoming whatever a CEO of Innovation Industries is sounds impressive.”

108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUMjB839Iy
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7p7PLUNRU
Flamma: “A bit, but I doubt Tech can bring all of that to bear. Besides, you fought that Ravager and these things are comparable. I’m not worried.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerXarpnbSb
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjgSysyrO5
Dove: ‘I wouldn’t want to fight hundreds of them though.’
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpLAHmZtgX
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4YRveauch
As for Siesta, she couldn’t help but feel some dread. This world was already so terrible to commoners like her. But after learning about Tech’s world, the world became so much more dangerous.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0aaoA38gW
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4kyWd8tpB
What if more like Tech came here and weren’t as nice as him? What would happen to her and her friends? What if one of the nobles got a hold of this power?
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtNPZ82Vs8
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyz0DxGfhKA
So many scenarios raced through her mind and it only worsen her feelings of helplessness. She trusted her dear friends but…

But at least that blue dragon wasn’t around. Even thinking about it made him click his tongue in annoyance. Its fascination with him was getting on his nerves.

Raskreia: “Finally, hey Flam-”

Raskreia got up and ran to the duo while waving her hands. But something flashed in the corner of her vision. By instinct, she raised her finger and used Fire Bolt on whatever she sensed.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi87Jka1Uz
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXZydB0V8z
When the flaming bullet hit the grass, everyone looked at Raskreia with a mix of confusion and outrage.

Jake came up from behind and unlike everyone, he could see the snake making his escape.

Jake jumps over the school walls and disappears into the coming night.

Raskreia: “Such a troublesome kid. Makes me wonder what made him this way. Sorry, everyone, maybe I made mistake. False alarm.”

Zander: “Are you sure?”

Raskreia: “Yep. But enough of my blunder, Flamma, got a moment to talk?”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGnIQxDU5g

Flamma: “I’m on my way to Louise, we’ll talk on the way. See you tomorrow Siesta.”

Raskreia and Flamma proceeded to leave the rest of the group behind. However, despite outwardly focusing on her conversation with Flamma, she couldn’t help but think back to what she sensed before.

It was a sight that nearly drove Louise to hurl. Hanging in the air with some sort of strands keeping her afloat was her fake.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3jCzU4jkn
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxnjbGDsjN
She was a mangled mess but the pink hair made it clear who it was. She wanted to destroy this mockery to herself but her sad state…stayed her hand.

Bench: “I don’t have much time to explain but the short answer is I don’t know and it’s a long story. I have some ideas to explain the first one but they are unscientific. Right now, I just want to finish my repairs for today. I already wasted a day trying to get the local clinic to work for me and then transforming this shack into something manageable.”

With nothing more to say, Louise leaves the transformed shack confused and dejected. What was really distressing was the pulling feeling she got when around her fake. As if she was being sucked into a whirlpool.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpBnC9LhYF
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH7Kk7wVAd
The thought of giving into the sensation…terrifiedher. She wanted…no…needed to escape this feeling.

108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKri9CF9I7w
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV8FNkcB1d
Louise: “I-I-I know. It’s only natural for a familiar to be there for their master. Now, why is she is here? Is she ready to become my familiar too?”

Raskreia: “Buy me dinner first and maybe I’ll think about it.”
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaSFQbZnHD

That got Louise to fume red while Flamma giggled at how adorable Louise can be.

In the shadows of the night, Aeron was collecting himself after his brush with failure. He wasn’t scared of a fight but he’s unsure if he could win if he was revealed at that moment.

Raskeria alone may be his equal. That’s not even counting Zander and Flamma. But Jake is interesting…
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcyyJ9Z01n

Aeron: ‘He noticed but didn’t do anything, interesting. Maybe he could be a good tool for later. Speaking of tools…’

He needed to step his plans up. He needed Louise firmly on his side and maybe another pawn in this game if he is to survive and win. He can’t afford to be caught now.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdWIisIrDq

Luckily for him, the pieces were already in place.

Guiche is probably bitter about his lose, a perfect mind to send over the edge.

Siesta was alone and vulnerable, a useful pawn and possible ally depending on how he pulls this off.

Finally, night was coming. Flamma and the other familiars should be asleep soon. It would be risky but what’s life without some form of gamble.
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeiAuj1bo8
108Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD3fJ2Wm51
Aeron casts alter self so he looks like Siesta before making his way to Guiche.
