Raskreia: “Planeswalker?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKR93DgtxA
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTX7FVAlxM
Before the strange man can answer, he stumbles backwards and falls back onto a tree.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1LiLcz0Cy
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhCAPGvUNc
Raskreia: “Hey! Are you alright?”

Jace: “I don’t have much time. This was the only move I could make to secure us victory.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ou2JqR7Af
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefxikUueNf
Raskreia looks down and notices that his body is being consumed by shadows. She doesn’t notice Jace taking out a strange glowing purple orb.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXP1Qau0dj
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Snfleq8H3
Jace: “Everything you need to know and use is in this orb. I trust you and the others will become powerful enough to unseal it. If not…then this gambit failed…forgive me…everyone…”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoVjNmRj4G
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9tjLJUCjv
Raskreia grabs the orb right before the darkness fully takes the last living remnant of ages long past. Raskreia stares into the empty for a few minutes before turning her gaze back to the sky.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE5VBMtHx7
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJxd7iKnBe
She takes two long gulps of air before pocketing the orb and getting up.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2hann6PwF
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuQQ1VYIRe
Raskreia: “Quest accepted, whatever it is…I won’t fail.”

118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKHQKAQFmZ
Flamma and Zander exited Tech base with tense masks, still grappling with the current situation. Dove decided to stay with Tech and help Doctor in anyway she can.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I0kJ124dI
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h0W9OiBK3
As for these two…
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6mmmF4Nit
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ksE1cryG1
Zander: “Considering the situation, I’ll be the one to break the news to Jake.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj7ET7pJG2
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnGY7bwfE9
Flamma: “Oh yeah…he’s not going to be happy about that.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33XhMiCFXs
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN9Q1mJXun
Zander: “No…but he has to accept that fact quick. We’ll need him on our side.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFlNmKkfNb
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkJda0QHjj
Flamma: “For what? What’s coming?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCobaKYhnmX
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO12kUtORE
Zander: “I don’t know…and that worries me all the more.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxRHKY20cI
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJCeK0yFCt
Flamma watches Zander walk towards the forest but quickly turns away. She has to focus on what she should do.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx9D8xNbko
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4stcp0PIkv
The healers of this world aren’t as strong as Dove and probably won’t be able to help. Raskreia is gone and she is no closer to figuring out who could have done this.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFyGDktXWV
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ1MJusTuv
Flamma: “Who could possibly have the skill to sneak past me and Tech’s defenses? What could-”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN62zEGRT40
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhS5nfMIGY
Then she remember last night, when Raskreia sensed something and attacked. Was it that?
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTqpCZdSQm
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVHebZxOtK
Flamma: “Damn it! I was too careless. I would have never made this mistake before. I would have burned everything in the area if there was a chance of an enemy lurking around. But…”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsGZsXuTlj
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinLZ27blhj
That could have hurt Siesta and she couldn’t let that happen. Hasn’t been long but she has already grown attached to Dove and Siesta. The thought of them being hurt was…painful.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjMOoby0ke
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5bpsWENAo
Flamma: “I will find the bastard who did this. I won’t let them do to Siesta and Dove what they did to Tech.”

Louise: “Familiar!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRlpf5Jjj3
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzRVOavAei
Flamma escaped her mind and open her eyes to see Louise running to her from across the courtyard.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wFuwLpOFn
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0Jbs8KlXY
Flamma: “I won’t let hem hurt you either Louise.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHxQFEnx40
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYLlJLfKmM
Flamma took a deep breath and made her way to Louise.

Louise: “Is Tech alright?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXiTJ2vqpt

Louise: “I-I see…”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGILn5NSFOW

118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl85tifyTm

Louise: “R-Really? I-I mean, good. I’m sure Tech will recover, right now though I need you to accompany me to town.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9mpcqBiZz
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj3USY6DaE

118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qrdzLNdNX

Louise: “Huh?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZllYbdC3Kk

118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWDyPnUFsr

Louise: “Hey, wait!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRp9SToKfQ
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIHVEmmlZ8
Flamma pulled Louise towards the front gate and later the town. Only later did she notice that she didn’t know the way.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1B2a1qOpor
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh0CgaH2Aw
The past few days have been exciting and terrifying for Sylphid. The new familiars were incredible and unique. Yeah, some scared her on an instinctual level.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNZ9tfKg6i
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXLf5ixKiW
Flamma now made sense, she’s a dragon of a higher order. Same with Zander and Dovahkiin. Dove was still a mystery though. But her focus has always been on one.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3x52VRfRw
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76UyptqOiY
Despite her master’s friend’s warnings, she would keep on eye on that particular familiar. During free time, when she would usually be with Tabitha, she would spy on Jake.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8tas71xH3
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xDaOYhTZb
Out of all the new familiars, he was the most interesting to her. Through his hard exterior, Sylphid could see Jake’s more vulnerable side. Especially during times like this, when he would just look at the sky.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFnbmlFilR
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulXZfgB2Ta
There was longing, worry and pain in those eyes. Pain that would turn to contained fury if she got too close to him. She could tell he is inching to unleash violence on something. Anything to distract from his pain.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYgeSGFSyN
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwp0oA2M6u
She watched as Jake’s face contorted from solemn, to enraged, to solemn again. What could be going on in his head she wondered. She even swore she saw tears but it was most likely her imagination.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1OVhARPXf
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyueD1WfHE
Sylphid had an urge to nuzzle him, to lick the wounds clean.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRZZFUkeZb
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ17c8zaymX
But she thought better of it. All she could do is be a constant friendly presence for him. She knew he could sense her and was grateful he allows her to be there, even at a far distance. But she wishes she could do more for this tortured soul.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ru8mw2hf6
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyAobPrmFJ
Unknown to her however, the torture was only beginning.

Jake: “Damn it…”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMilBZlTFXB
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6gThg6cD3
Brooding once again, waiting for some good news from Raskreia. He wanted to go home and fix his mistakes. Despite what other might say, in his mind, everything that happened in New York was his fault.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6N9Oh4Zk5
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtS8H2lIp4
Jake: “If…I had just died…my parents wouldn’t be…”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEgGzvmrmn
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyuolw7G8S
He lifted up his hand and stared a hole into it. He can see what he is even now. Nothing but a writhing mass of flesh, a living virus. A plague on the world, a bringer of nothing but death and sorrow.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUCvHqV2bJ
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxgPOVASTv
Jake: “If I had died…I wouldn’t be like…this…”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtz0r5JSzM
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqZDIR66fK
This wouldn’t be bothering him so much if there was something to do. But there’s nothing. He felt lost here.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCEfqQTJqu
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX432cKo4Ft
In New York, he had one absolute mission – destroy Blackwatch. But here…
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2W2NRERHMb
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp13T9P7nA6
Jake: “There’s nothing to fight against…nothing to fight for…no anchor…”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvQh53lhtA
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxla0UuhFG
Jake was brought of his thoughts when a new presence entered his field of sight.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7sHkXkDvE
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZg04LjYpy
Zander: “Jake, I have…news.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkMxJXxaqp
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9ZCBVWn3W
He looked down at Zander and for a moment, felt surprise. Zander looked…off balance.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo25f8CyyvP
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiWx8zsHFA
Jake: “What could possible unnerve him of all people.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnNGyXTtVr
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqC1RtZ5yf
He jumped down and approached the noble.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i5ggPiYMK
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyRn8jQVqG
Jake: “What is it?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOy7MOcb4m
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbBwOdXeyQ
Zander: “…Something happened.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kjTnOjl7k
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bRE5v1R4d
Jake: “Why should I care?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEQCcmvu7H
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPbAdzuUuL
Zander: “It involves your…our way home.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJs5Y2duNP
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOuvF9tl9f
Jake: “What are you-”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgA1J0LQrV
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnjTsVVFLZ
Zander: “Someone has locked this dimension, we can’t go back.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsCI2OIjJR
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QhZk1uZfX
Instantly, every living thing in the area felt the pressure of a castle on their backs. Some even died from fear due to the killing intent.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLvXFzcntB
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyHt2XLwub
Jake: “Explain.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl7bZKcKia
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZB83zyry8
Zander: “Raskreia is missing and she may not be able to come back to this dimension. We’re stuck here.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTjtUU0VcD
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6YOBc4fJ1
The one thing, THE ONLY THING, keeping Jake on a leash was the promise with Raskreia. The fact that he could go home one day. But that…was gone now.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7vdPJF8ce
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3o8bwuP1p
He could focus his anger on the person who locked the dimension. He could have remembered that Zander was not his opponent.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4pRzdTt1S
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TUPzzrroV
He could have done many things. But like so many times before, his anger got the best on him.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5FeSfKQs2
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxQ3ownMEE
An explosion of force erupted from the blow Jake threw, a blow Zander blocked. Regardless, it had enough force to at least push Zander back.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq15TlXEsjv
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGngYThJsBv
Jake: “Wrong Answer.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcKNT6WDFW
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPlKM8U603
Zander: “Don’t do this.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmv8THGORS
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUR6yAPmF5
Rage was unreasonable and demanded bloodshed, something Jake was willing to provide.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABeJOksGQi
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJRPTCkoEL
Jake transformed his other hand into voracious claws and slashed across Zander’s chest who dodged back and countered with a fire blast aimed at Jake’s face.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VG1AiQsco
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtu64LxDGb
Jake charged through the pain and launched several more attacked with both clawed hands.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYr6hOOBMM
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqpu8mBVFh
Zander could only barely dodge. He didn’t have time to use a spell or take out a weapon, not without risking it. So instead, he waited for the perfect moment to teleport to the sky.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD12fVALTc7
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1xq3zDmSg
Just as Jake looked up, Zander equipped his staff and rained down a torrent of magical fire. Jake quickly dodged the blasts, zagging through the storm until he made it to a tree.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyhHkTCs49
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfV63BXlie
He used the branches to reach Zander in the sky. Zander held up his staff to block the overhead slash from Jake.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilQxNcjDAr
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBA5SLaT1f
Zander: “Enough Jake, I don’t want to hurt you!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi12HagX0q
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtmlPv1NHc
His words fell on death ears, the answer he got instead was a heavy blow to the cheek, sending him spinning to the ground.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhCZ1ZvIf7
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqUV76HuAo
But while in the tailspin, he unleashed a thin white magical slash that bisected Jake. Jake ignored the gasp in the distance and regenerated the damage before turning his hands into hammers. Using gravity, he sent himself hurling towards the now grounded Zander.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFc9Q0BVSv
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtI52wgoHN
Zander caught the blow with a magical shield, but the blow was heavy enough to crack it. In his rage, Jake began to hammer the shield causing the cracks to spreed.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEcyNb0ADN
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfPIILy8EO
But when it finally cracked, Zander was ready. Summoning flames from the deep, he unleashed blue hell from his mouth enveloping Jake.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQE9VX61r3
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEeOL6OZfC
That finally got Jake to scream in pain but Zander wasn’t done. He knew he would just regenerate, he needed to cripple him enough to stop any resistance.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymx6VgpoOa
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFPTuKbUTW
So he waved his hands in a mesmerizing form that summoned storm clouds above. Then with a downward chop, red lightning cracked from above and struck Jake’s still smolder body repeatedly.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3J0G7WPjh
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnC7NvALar
Despite that…he kept coming.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHRw7dutBt
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F2jN6L6SQ
Past the screams, past the pain, Jake took a step towards Zander, and another. Even when his body was going through the cycle of breaking down and regenerating, he still formed a blade eager for blood.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGfQO3NV0i
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDXgxjUaWd
He didn’t see Zander anymore, he saw Mercer. He saw the monster that took his parents. He saw the bastard smirking, mocking him…
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzrkPx53xl
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡled54Gy7Fw
Jake: ‘DIE!!’
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1it4RrH0j
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoG9V0oDvnq
“Stop!!”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hEfMqbhZu
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw30FdGPWG
Suddenly, the flame went out and the storm clouds passed. The agony simmered to a dull pain as he regenerated the damaged. In its place was a warm sensation, some girl was…hugging him? Getting in the way of the storm that was called against him?
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDyeMDhscQ
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3u3ETLpP2
But this warmth won’t heal him, he needed body mass. Jake was so tempted to eat the one before him.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC4uWWXBcx
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc11xQCQcrw
So tantalizingly close to consuming the one who gave him relief. It would be so easy.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfxtVwfFvw
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUl3iEXg40
Mercer: “Do it Jake. You’re a weapon, one that will turn this world into a singular paradise. Consume, adapt, survive.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYkFckOK5x
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIn3qyLbcxN
Jake: “I…have to survive…I…”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkhoBDHjnx
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxLi6rjWjY
Tendrils snaked up the girl’s body, threatening to penetrate and force her to become one with him.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WReRjF3r1
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrcwZNpm4x
“Jake…”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFB5gAYoaD
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tEt7DbVD2
The gentle voice, however, broke through the haze and reached the person Jake once was. It was a voice that sounded so helpless and innocent. Something he once was…
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcDscItABz
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3d9BVrlFOT
His eyes now truly open to see her and she felt…familiar. That familiarly was what he needed to anchor himself.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iQ8NZEMnd
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmuqgo0KLg
The tendrils recede and Jake takes a step back, removing himself from the warmth of her embrace.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMo6Dbd1XC
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKanr0enR7
Zander: “Jake, are you alright?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1D8Kw2m2K3
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngMR9uu7Mw
Jake: “…Yeah. I just need…a moment to process things.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UuAPb9uni
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt48MS0e8x
At that moment, he felt someone grab his hand gently. It was that familiar blue haired girl again. She looked at him with…something. Whatever it was it only made him confused. So he pulled away and disappeared deeper into the forest.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQI50J5ZU6
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarxmFLDpRM
Zander: “He’s a handful. Are you alright miss…”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTPWnErvDG

“I’m Illococoo. Yes, I’m fine.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Bx8VoV2ot
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FZBu1BJSh
She says that, but Zander can see the burns. She dove into that mess regardless of the danger, all for Jake.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURDkF5CPBC
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQO7KpLsMV
Zander: “If I didn’t cancel my spells in time…”

118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oUnOpMLoL
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTzaIyv3HI
Before Zander can protest, she quickly left deeper into the woods as well. He can only sigh and walk back to the school.

No matter what, Louise just can’t see Flamma as someone who would do that to Siesta. Seeing Flamma explore the town and the markets like some normal woman only confused her more.

Louise turned her back on Flamma and started walking back to the school, just in time to wipe her eyes clean of any tears.

Despite thinking those thoughts, Louise can’t completely detach from her first familiar.
Only time will tell how that will backfire.

Right before him was Siesta who successfully used the level 2 Aganazzar's Scorcher spell, nearly causing a forest fire. And she only just started learning today.

Aeron: “I wonder if more people here have potential like this. Maybe I can steal Kirche from Zander. If I get her, I may get Tabitha too. If some maid can get this strong…”

118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wdtK29EwC
Aeron: “Don’t worry. Yes, the usual pay is the contractor’s soul, but it’s not the only way. In short, I will pay your price. You will become a warlock and the demon will have my services in…six battles of his own choosing, is that acceptable?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobvMTM1s2a

He was tempted to say love or some trite nonsense to seal the deal. But Aeron shrugged and told the true.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMCX67TI35
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRuRVHRgcw
Aeron: “Chaos.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmzkmjLDwk

Siesta: “W-What?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSoeY3MKHH
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkoqt7tgTX
Aeron: “I love breaking order, and traditions. By turning you, some maid, into a powerful mage I’m giving a rather big finger to the sorcerers of this land. Also…”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18pdK7f3Eu
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8X5BhO24mH
Aeron lifted her chin so she can look him in the eye.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiUc8IA2hd

Aeron: “You’re sexy when you’re mad.”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWkf7n1U2k
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0FSNwzu26
That did it. Siesta grabbed his head smashed her lips onto his. Aeron was tempted to take her there. The thought of her finding out that the person she gave her real first time to was the one who caused this madness was intoxicating.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz5MrPJkDQ

Yeah, his second reason for doing things is causing pain and the chance to kill. Because why not if it’s fun and pleasurable? But this shot of pleasure will have to wait, he doesn’t have much time.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8FOSSowOx

So he broke off the kiss.

Aeron: “I’ll take that as a yes?”

118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkFdhlwCe0
With a nod, Aeron went to work. It took half an hour till he prepared the summoning circle and the binding runes. But when went to cast the spell…nothing happened.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A0pEOIeB2
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLVduxpyWv
But this only made Aeron laugh. First, it was a few giggles but it eventually broke into a madding glee.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOTqJYn6KD

Siesta: “A-Aeron, what’s wrong?”
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyho88Hco9t

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

118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhb5KQ8y3X

Man, seeing the previous chapters and their grammatically mistakes…

I am ashamed. I’ll fix them one day but right now I’d rather focus on making new content. Hopefully I did better this time.
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i69EpPptZ
118Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gB60bTbCP
Anyway, I’m excited to know what you thought about this new batch of chapters. Especially the MTG connection, the more serious tone and how evil Aeron is.

I bet you really want him dead now. It’s only going to get crazier from here. If time allows of course, I make no promises because life makes none.

But if you want more from me, I would encourage you to check out my other fanfic project. I published it in honor of Boku no Hero ending. When one dies, another raises.

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