Raskreia: “Planeswalker?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWQszTEKcJ
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvcOklzB4n
Before the strange man can answer, he stumbles backwards and falls back onto a tree.

Raskreia: “Hey! Are you alright?”

Jace: “I don’t have much time. This was the only move I could make to secure us victory.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFH7gxNdoC
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE63krC23pl
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTSvNarBxX
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QjTgZK1vd
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…”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Oc6m2GJH5
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqMdTHyOOd
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOfgIT03sn
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2aGDJeHfZ
She takes two long gulps of air before pocketing the orb and getting up.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NSiHnqRrk
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUpQ4YQwkg
Raskreia: “Quest accepted, whatever it is…I won’t fail.”

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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60JmS3lsNt
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvgxB85WUo
As for these two…
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpEN5oK0Ya
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8oF2TTggG
Zander: “Considering the situation, I’ll be the one to break the news to Jake.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxJ4Bhx30S
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrXkXc7LRr
Flamma: “Oh yeah…he’s not going to be happy about that.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZIFWHJPro
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjlNTIivrG
Zander: “No…but he has to accept that fact quick. We’ll need him on our side.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoabsehGap
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNeBKvgiE4
Flamma: “For what? What’s coming?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDlYOIuT2J
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34Y1qQJXzV
Zander: “I don’t know…and that worries me all the more.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCdoRWuoCF
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZasONRbMO
Flamma watches Zander walk towards the forest but quickly turns away. She has to focus on what she should do.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzS9feVwn4
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3qAx9jVUA
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oc9lXdGtp
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0AqD4NIZ2
Flamma: “Who could possibly have the skill to sneak past me and Tech’s defenses? What could-”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J3fGRRVeK
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL65a43zPF
Then she remember last night, when Raskreia sensed something and attacked. Was it that?
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9qZZ4Kop8
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcU0ahmFT7
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…”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50afEsvChJ
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJBUm4lPGf
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlXVqqB0Ed
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28sfIqQman
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!”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet3F2Jn4Av
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0MmRqxXVf
Flamma escaped her mind and open her eyes to see Louise running to her from across the courtyard.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8cqyv5mAe
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7bxeqcSka
Flamma: “I won’t let hem hurt you either Louise.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLMYmktRKK
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iX443mH93
Flamma took a deep breath and made her way to Louise.

Flamma: “What’s up master?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR2RlXaj5T

Louise: “Is Tech alright?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEmWejtceV

Louise: “I-I see…”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVOBKDRqmJ

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzZLsqxJVn
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2ncK0Ibch
Louise: “R-Really? I-I mean, good. I’m sure Tech will recover, right now though I need you to accompany me to town.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCpEFmGQnG

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMUURVoxkG

Louise: “Hey, wait!”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst62vBEt3S
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LZ6FYmeeo
Flamma pulled Louise towards the front gate and later the town. Only later did she notice that she didn’t know the way.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA1t9AEFVx
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGI2yiowRzs
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhRCx1u9lq
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqzBZmx2MO
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXI2TAaCI0
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgLFLdaqvJ
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBey2Fo05m
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRTgcmmuVF
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y5ft6Ou6j
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qssd1rLVG
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlcvNH6jqA
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CBVYJpVPr
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpLsA1YrVh
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnEjKkrd3s
Sylphid had an urge to nuzzle him, to lick the wounds clean.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW21z7f9TiM
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8aNV1VFPG
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPQkSTg3dL
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPXUNgdV7H
Unknown to her however, the torture was only beginning.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16VxdvBwe0

Jake: “Damn it…”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzDwXsK8aH
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex3HDNRK9N
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPlMN8QHUx
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua4LkE44w6
Jake: “If…I had just died…my parents wouldn’t be…”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KrOInalXU
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2yaggUUpu
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua4nk8xkOX
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoWjDwrDUo
Jake: “If I had died…I wouldn’t be like…this…”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFDd9LOl4Y
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY0LaluzrJ
This wouldn’t be bothering him so much if there was something to do. But there’s nothing. He felt lost here.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SXNAPSNJS
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT09OdfKe4
In New York, he had one absolute mission – destroy Blackwatch. But here…
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlbGG6cPTP
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsFgeejqeA
Jake: “There’s nothing to fight against…nothing to fight for…no anchor…”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17PSwLTpCr
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe3bgxBQti
Jake was brought of his thoughts when a new presence entered his field of sight.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V9v8ciAQD
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRAXxselS8
Zander: “Jake, I have…news.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYWow3rLuz
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfRqA09EPQ
He looked down at Zander and for a moment, felt surprise. Zander looked…off balance.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Do6sxZdBh
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsZcXLoBY3
Jake: “What could possible unnerve him of all people.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZcElvN2ET
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDbFjbvGtX
He jumped down and approached the noble.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQWoCKLPPI
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZVWUQqfyV
Jake: “What is it?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7GuE9zt0p
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbdWr0B4JK
Zander: “…Something happened.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPZIz0LTiQ
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSEL2NwlFG
Jake: “Why should I care?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4F179aW3O
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzowWP8mESd
Zander: “It involves your…our way home.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFDMCubKgE
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV3OkmFari
Jake: “What are you-”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWItsmsK4bZ
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbS8Ib5ZCU
Zander: “Someone has locked this dimension, we can’t go back.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PEviHnEiI
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG0NFrKoOi
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GTuy1wTdO
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqNEWL3W0C
Jake: “Explain.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYjFMR4E3B
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyFY5ouxyO
Zander: “Raskreia is missing and she may not be able to come back to this dimension. We’re stuck here.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MoURONPON
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52FkGZAFDf
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ho52s2pE1
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5NbxSMWTd
He could focus his anger on the person who locked the dimension. He could have remembered that Zander was not his opponent.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡray2KxOlTy
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF7drRQw37
He could have done many things. But like so many times before, his anger got the best on him.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3j8b6QjZI
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvrF9TZuE1
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9PS4L5Vd8
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcbSBWovOO
Jake: “Wrong Answer.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vokWuYBwD
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtweMJbct3p
Zander: “Don’t do this.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXez1qagNI
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlErYRAbqL
Rage was unreasonable and demanded bloodshed, something Jake was willing to provide.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAQAH4hzJM
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT63hVU7d3M
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡholj7OLOzk
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpTDe5UkvH
Jake charged through the pain and launched several more attacked with both clawed hands.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoXc0wyrkA
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8THseXwaoT
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhkJToQ7Qc
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC0ywErwmp
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcw4bK6G2I
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAoPFClnQb
He used the branches to reach Zander in the sky. Zander held up his staff to block the overhead slash from Jake.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYotxFQ5Dso
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVrj8TMKYc
Zander: “Enough Jake, I don’t want to hurt you!”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RJJQRj30n
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoe8IKkx1eL
His words fell on death ears, the answer he got instead was a heavy blow to the cheek, sending him spinning to the ground.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2lAwvI6Sq
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP4EiugIMd
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QcCOP7DAR
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumn9DNMJ0w
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsWFhrSGcF
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4hYEg9EDb
But when it finally cracked, Zander was ready. Summoning flames from the deep, he unleashed blue hell from his mouth enveloping Jake.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOR5m8Q3dv
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRIdVv7aZg
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQXZBWykA1
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LE0Is7qhS
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG308a8Bvye
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki12UNLf3X
Despite that…he kept coming.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYjgdBT79X
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjLQZSNqwI
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj2RhwvYLY
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyfJqdRZcn
He didn’t see Zander anymore, he saw Mercer. He saw the monster that took his parents. He saw the bastard smirking, mocking him…
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37vonmGMKB
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TFEXvkMem
Jake: ‘DIE!!’
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYovcpLZFu
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ39wxHRDtB
“Stop!!”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAmVi7pbck
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJXIF7c55G
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?
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX73QVxc9DE
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vGBgbUidt
But this warmth won’t heal him, he needed body mass. Jake was so tempted to eat the one before him.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluF0Z9SF7p
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJ5nWkzoLv
So tantalizingly close to consuming the one who gave him relief. It would be so easy.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBkHjRPrfy
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdRntZLQnb
Mercer: “Do it Jake. You’re a weapon, one that will turn this world into a singular paradise. Consume, adapt, survive.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve3k0fwMYt
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcLy1MAYKh
Jake: “I…have to survive…I…”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbBOO9zy4H
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcN7XDGyf5
Tendrils snaked up the girl’s body, threatening to penetrate and force her to become one with him.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7qUlbvYyj
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMiK3S5FAm
“Jake…”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mLMZMcP5T
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknPkVEQcAg
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…
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmaaXCIZr0
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYQmzQEB2u
His eyes now truly open to see her and she felt…familiar. That familiarly was what he needed to anchor himself.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZFfwpUBib
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuSzSb1iBo
The tendrils recede and Jake takes a step back, removing himself from the warmth of her embrace.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCtNRrh9hR
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf4eU4CH6Z
Zander: “Jake, are you alright?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjQyllvYqB
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKlagEP49Y
Jake: “…Yeah. I just need…a moment to process things.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCro1UEK2z
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmi0wAzRcTU
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBcYYtw36c
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1mwVRjEZI

“I’m Illococoo. Yes, I’m fine.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCORmAx8aP
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlVSCKgxpC
She says that, but Zander can see the burns. She dove into that mess regardless of the danger, all for Jake.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4LNBEYSzk
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphccEBkMw8
Zander: “If I didn’t cancel my spells in time…”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYvOaYZJ7D

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JeIu60vI0
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitUZzex1De
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.

Flamma: “Damn it, way to go Flamma. Try to lighten the mood but just end up making her mad.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05rXbIaQU2
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm6VGrt71q
Flamma: “Wait Louise, I was only kidding. Trying to lighten the mood you know.”

Louise: “I don’t care!”

Louise: ‘I don’t care…I don’t care anymore…’
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMaprVm3Iz
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeOCjhVfGS
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…”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjVX2MySd6
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNiEGqfuPP
Aeron licks his lips in anticipation.

The maid, who is now wearing a form fitting rouge outfit with a boob window, runs up to Aeron.

Siesta: “Are you-”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPqS1e6V1t
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3zNVvIwS3
Aeron: “You would like that wouldn’t you? But no, this is a ring of sustenance. Wear it for 7 days and you’ll never have to eat, drink or sleep again.”

Her felt her grip on him tighten.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmY0JrjqA5
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd7PYfwW0d
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?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDXRkY2KRt
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1RKoGV9BN
Siesta: “…Why?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKHL28gIe9

He was tempted to say love or some trite nonsense to seal the deal. But Aeron shrugged and told the true.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOgogyslD8
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNcCk7NEN2
Aeron: “Chaos.”

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eaey0MOqh
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVS9jMyqup
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…”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLSxJyKIHD
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L19FVVVgH
Aeron lifted her chin so she can look him in the eye.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJasVTwB4W

Aeron: “You’re sexy when you’re mad.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMlSbZq9rs
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26xHptzNAD
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnImtfH9WD

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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnVHxuJHPz

So he broke off the kiss.

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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6rNQWerQa
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJUi5VHrRw
But this only made Aeron laugh. First, it was a few giggles but it eventually broke into a madding glee.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6KvZ272l9

Siesta: “A-Aeron, what’s wrong?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnvs0PA8hp
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQixlqjiYF
Aeron: “It seems I’m not the only one obsessed with chaos. Someone spatially locked this plane. Summoning is impossible now.”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3aXTZn6Dp

Siesta: “What…does this mean?”
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DgxksOTkK

Man, seeing the previous chapters and their grammatically mistakes…

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZU45jeUV3
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc2bGvUGE7
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIj8qJ2ywA
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSveXEjiFz
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMTtms5S3H
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.
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqsydEuvIv
55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIS0KkEJJV
Let’s hope I can continue to work on both of these stories. I love them both and I think they both have potential.

Finally, for those shippers out there, thoughts on the hinted at pairings?
