Raskreia: “You don’t say? Makes me wish that I stayed.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAGL2CQL5Fdm
335Please respect copyright.PENANAjesJCn7PbG
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANA7D07iB1J7h
335Please respect copyright.PENANAiLW3WLvwOJ
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAcLzqD7fTHF
335Please respect copyright.PENANAtRig1Fl3JY
Zander: “I have a feeling things would have escalated even further if you were there.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZeJonu6Xp
335Please respect copyright.PENANAk1Zly9569Z
Raskreia: “Ha, you’re probably right.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAkhG44pMs8O
335Please respect copyright.PENANADJdP5vjPQR
Jake: “Alright! You’re done with the recap and learning who those 2 are. Can you help me get back home now?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAmf2cSp1wx9
335Please respect copyright.PENANARtk0GkX0v9
Raskreia: “Sure kid. What’s you’re world like?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAeDEd4OctxQ
335Please respect copyright.PENANAZBJ6uuhbZ2
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAgzVpf2DdSb
335Please respect copyright.PENANAdnxdLf5FCB
Raskreia: “Well, I didn’t expect that. Considering your powers, I was sure your world would have been some, no offensive, hellscape.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAYoPggAoKjp
335Please respect copyright.PENANAVrX83MXW1Z
Jake: “I’m not the norm and I didn’t…ask for these abilities.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAWSTOsccWPY
335Please respect copyright.PENANAShHGLm5Dul
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?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAGSZxQX388N
335Please respect copyright.PENANA3kXh3JWQ3d
Jake: “…Yes.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANARRmR7LH3rg
335Please respect copyright.PENANAjSuB3oilIK
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANA5FmfSKh71P
335Please respect copyright.PENANAB8O2Bf7Rga
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAGB5Xd6Rddl
335Please respect copyright.PENANAp8kZlgH2YW
Jake: ‘On the other hand, she could be found and killed…’
335Please respect copyright.PENANAsl13lAtk7y
335Please respect copyright.PENANAUikOqaplBa
Jake: “Damn it…”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAsEEqJGguio
335Please respect copyright.PENANAcTbPe6RkCi
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAukR8blyzkt
335Please respect copyright.PENANA3EU8CIzM1a
A strange sensation snapped Jake out of his mind. A warm and gentle feeling at his sides.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAQXSOnepvgx
335Please respect copyright.PENANAVTUSvdhXU9
Raskeria: “Awwww.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAw1nKWrLb61
335Please respect copyright.PENANALzWFGfDDgO
Jake looks down to see Sylphid…nuzzling him. Sylphid began purring, in an attempt to soothe Jake.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAvEcfFYstFC
335Please respect copyright.PENANAdlqs0aS2ie
Jake: “What…is this thing doing?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAOEN4o8TgAi
335Please respect copyright.PENANAcCmz6Ae1w4
Raskeria: “I think she likes you.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANALaihsof2eK
335Please respect copyright.PENANA0rj7Lp63Zo
Jake: “Make it stop or I’ll make it stop.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAiJCNCceHNT
335Please respect copyright.PENANAK9YWsMyppS
Zander: “Jake, Sylphid is not trying to attack you so there’s no need for that.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAwNgkrtLLEE
335Please respect copyright.PENANAIVaIMT8GS9
Jake: “I don’t care.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAbKh5vynbfh
335Please respect copyright.PENANALfQeJDQYd6
Jake got out of his chair and moved away from Sylphid. Sylphid didn’t follow but did look at Jake with…sympathy.
335Please respect copyright.PENANATGA1NYzV0z
335Please respect copyright.PENANA5OimBNDx8L
Jake: ‘Monsters don’t comfort and they definitely don’t need sympathy.’
335Please respect copyright.PENANAhTOIhGocca
335Please respect copyright.PENANAiAuTaU5yOR
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.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA4b9VEtaqag
335Please respect copyright.PENANAD4xv0MKKUt
Jake gave a dangerous glare at Slyphid before going back into the forest.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAr1iYqHYZHv
335Please respect copyright.PENANAT2L4gFzDmw
Raskeria: “Tabitha, you’re dragon is cute but she might also be suicidal if she wants to cuddle up with Jake.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAcIEmDsm4kl
335Please respect copyright.PENANAG11W8V0MeN
Tabitha said nothing but took the statement into consideration. Slyphid interest in Jake is definitely strange.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAXFp6P0XOaz
335Please respect copyright.PENANAqLvNtVILcR
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.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANADf9yCCwnkq
335Please respect copyright.PENANAgRd7JVMe1B
Raskeria left the group and started exploring the academy. As for Zander, he still has to deal with Kirche.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAZgff2HQsSU
335Please respect copyright.PENANANldpKck0VL
Kirche: “Now, where were we?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAEXrlbMjdUl
335Please respect copyright.PENANAOJKTgLzeEe
She says while pressing her best assets against Zander.
335Please respect copyright.PENANA8v9E2ZHLzd
335Please respect copyright.PENANAWfooXIYBjA
Zander sighs before answering her.
335Please respect copyright.PENANA4YfqZgDCk1
335Please respect copyright.PENANAe1eTDOgNWu
Zander: “Miss Zerbst, I’d appreciate my arm back.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAv22waA1cA4
335Please respect copyright.PENANATOtkx8NG2u
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAmO1r57JBda
335Please respect copyright.PENANApU5LNnh5ZE
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.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAfwFjGi52do
335Please respect copyright.PENANAImrqbn96ij
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.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAHStX8PL3Sx
335Please respect copyright.PENANAtVyiyczmaR
Kirche: “So you have gate spell just that woman? When will you be back?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA90yapJk3pT
335Please respect copyright.PENANAGs6ZNbbZTq
Zander: “I’ll be back by tomorrow. I don’t want to miss the big fight.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAcCW8gDYQWj
335Please respect copyright.PENANAKLEGh6CY1s
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAvISfcX9urM
335Please respect copyright.PENANAPxxsOv7WvR
Zander stepped through the warp, disappearing completely into murky shadows. They seemed to grow within themselves like monsters trapped beyond a mirror.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAilGH8m3uYe
335Please respect copyright.PENANAIsartijAPe
Kirche: “Haaa, Tabitha I think I’m in love.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAa7vacEahqv
335Please respect copyright.PENANASkvQ9cyTrg
Tech: “So you’re the one who accepted the familiar thing?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANArvsCzakxfI
335Please respect copyright.PENANALJmBMHvbJn
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANA80Loif6IxC
335Please respect copyright.PENANAPdm67yn4s5
Flamma: “I have my reasons.”

335Please respect copyright.PENANAfVA0P0DDj9
335Please respect copyright.PENANAmHBc4ayJv2
Flamma: “It’s not that bad. It’s not like I let Louise command like a dog. I’m not a masochistic.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAh0D1mZ1zIQ
335Please respect copyright.PENANAAIT37MkR9d
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANA3I8foYR8kE
335Please respect copyright.PENANAu50Iawl7oR
But she is also terrified for them. If they died for her…
335Please respect copyright.PENANAmkKMPSKMgH
335Please respect copyright.PENANAfPu1skm490
Siesta: “You shouldn’t have done that.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAdJaYVIOMuD
335Please respect copyright.PENANAl1Bchyysll
She says softly but it still got the three to pay attention.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAzOtoWR2Oru

Dove: “Do what?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAmC0CQ9jxMX

Siesta: “Accepted Guiche’s challenge! It’s too dangerous!”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAkLcmRepHhf
335Please respect copyright.PENANAhQ7pGUMY52
Tech: “Ha, dangerous for him maybe.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANADorONHAeRF

335Please respect copyright.PENANAPo1Ms9bqb3
335Please respect copyright.PENANAwPDsDBvhhO
Siesta: “But…”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAb67VVJxVKn
335Please respect copyright.PENANAXbYZJmbTUJ
Flamma put her hand on Siesta’s shoulder and smiled softly.
335Please respect copyright.PENANABiZ82O7CIn
335Please respect copyright.PENANAnqBeIIIJb8
Flamma: “Trust us Siesta. You’ll be pleasantly surprised if you do.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAGfKiYWDLzb
335Please respect copyright.PENANAkU9PBSanmz
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAoUmKNlkGg7
335Please respect copyright.PENANAyB4Tfdcncw
Siesta: “Okay, I trust you.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAaAioWeDuU7

What else could she say in front of that?
335Please respect copyright.PENANAsTscwyyqWU
335Please respect copyright.PENANASutPPRqI3P
Flamma: “Great. Now, I better check on Louise. I bet she’s going crazy by now. I also now have another great story to tell her.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAzl6z3KBhe9

335Please respect copyright.PENANAb88AhjUGDO
335Please respect copyright.PENANAGBfgALphTO
Tech: “Probably somewhere with enough room. Probably one of the courtyards.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA7sliUMmgRn
335Please respect copyright.PENANAOocDGqQ1DR
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.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANANWfcDYlY1S
335Please respect copyright.PENANAq3qbKFQeKn
Tech: “Perfect. But please don’t call Guiche lord. Almost made me gag.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAHfbgVfqEKu

Siesta: “But-”

335Please respect copyright.PENANAq5VZWEnx73

Siesta: “…Alright. Thank you, for everything.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAbLHp0QryhV

Dove: “Think nothing of it, what else are friends for.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAp9VqcYeEAx

With that, Dove and Siesta left Tech for his final repairs.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAD3l6blWVCF
335Please respect copyright.PENANAkRcrfi3q2l
Louise would have gone crazy from the boredom and maybe anger at her double. But her thoughts were on what her familiar told her.
335Please respect copyright.PENANA9jdC1DXeQ4
335Please respect copyright.PENANA6yFAa2RwYv
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.’
335Please respect copyright.PENANAvZRykjnLsn
335Please respect copyright.PENANAUrH8QsqVz3
Louise laid down after eating her food delivered by her familiar and a maid. But she still barely had the energy to move.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAW9079AjMz8
335Please respect copyright.PENANAA9jIX6DNSh
Louise: “Argh! When I get my hands on that faker, I’ll tear her apart! I hate being stuck like this!”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAvEAnIthHxp
335Please respect copyright.PENANAmSk7xpO5cO
“Do you need sssome asssissstance massster?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAmvP2Wz1sEO

Louise: “Who’s there!? Familiar?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAsMgUsgdseo
335Please respect copyright.PENANAxuR5hDIIj0
“Ooooone of theeem.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAEssK0CbssN
335Please respect copyright.PENANAr8ZBt6JVys
A white snake slithered out of the darkness of the room and raised it’s head so Louise can see it.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAlMrzmULl4V
335Please respect copyright.PENANA06z60aw93o
Louise: “Are you…like that dragon? How can you talk?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANATvhHU7Jek6
335Please respect copyright.PENANAMnkU600HnQ
“My former masssster taught me to ssspeak.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA27klDTg92H
335Please respect copyright.PENANAOsXIlgzEZx
Louise: “You were someone’s familiar before?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAPOZNaJtpNx

“Oh yesss. I sssserved a mossst powerful wizard.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANARlRkWRtXot
335Please respect copyright.PENANAgCkcSNcCjI
Louise: “Great, so I stole a familiar from a noble…”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAKpzUMl8upA
335Please respect copyright.PENANAVL6isMAYq5
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…’
335Please respect copyright.PENANAbZJYSZBW5V
335Please respect copyright.PENANAY67afFtNjn
“Dooont’ worrrry, my masssster died a long time ago.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAYi5rM52qRR
335Please respect copyright.PENANAFiCpEVPJat
That put some hope in Louise’s eyes. Maybe she can make this snake her familiar. Much better than that commoner.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAafJVGZoadv
335Please respect copyright.PENANAwR2AsvzTAS
Louise: “Then…will be my familiar?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANARU86LrrLVj
335Please respect copyright.PENANAfusZcaGwyv
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAQpqTa2uwea
335Please respect copyright.PENANARYQZdNKMlW
“Do you haaaave the streength?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAqPsfnbfZq0
335Please respect copyright.PENANATEnJnaT354

335Please respect copyright.PENANASESa7PbKhI
335Please respect copyright.PENANA9HpSWWopCO
What seemed like a smirk flashed on the snake’s face.
335Please respect copyright.PENANA3AjjjTY5fs
335Please respect copyright.PENANA7suL62eSSg
“Theeen yeees, I’ll beee your faaamiliar.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANABtCelqrfnl

Aeoron: “My naaame is Aeron, my soooon to be master.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAaHlW9GF71H
335Please respect copyright.PENANAg82FzXsVV5
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAw8dvHMFMJy
335Please respect copyright.PENANAduFYU24v74
Louise: “Be grateful, you’re the second of my familiars. I will conquer the rest and then…”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAP1fSJTPAQT
335Please respect copyright.PENANAcduMaGOE82
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.’
335Please respect copyright.PENANApkeEYbm9yU
335Please respect copyright.PENANA0MpWVgSTvq
Louise smiled and placed her wand on the snake’s forehead before chanting.
335Please respect copyright.PENANA40dGvOQWEf
335Please respect copyright.PENANACcS7OzAHV7
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.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANASHWmsOuxaO
335Please respect copyright.PENANAx78QbwQQVi
After chanting, she removed her wand from his forehead and stretched forward to kiss him.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAxmVwLBXVry
335Please respect copyright.PENANAGzIP4TNHOy
After a few moments, a new and different brand appears on the snake.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAjkdeLnPP8N
335Please respect copyright.PENANAek2A4BI9yY
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.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANApPbvbLqpS6
335Please respect copyright.PENANAI96Bl6rXNh
Louise expected to fall right to sleep after performing another ritual, but instead, she feels fine. Better than fine actually. Almost normal.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAml8BwWMNnd
335Please respect copyright.PENANAUUalBpA3I5
Louise: “I thought I would be tired after that.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAcN6bp1PJ8H
335Please respect copyright.PENANA8GGqtL8HW8
Aeron: “I took the liberty to heal you of your affliction using a spell.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANANq9OybchkN
335Please respect copyright.PENANAGxHkh9LKkY
Louise: “Really? Wait, what do you even know about magic, you're just a familiar."
335Please respect copyright.PENANAbk1ojW751F
335Please respect copyright.PENANA3sEPlMvZL3
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."
335Please respect copyright.PENANAnn7j4KbXt1
335Please respect copyright.PENANAsuVBN515uk
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…
335Please respect copyright.PENANAXJfkAPBJhs
335Please respect copyright.PENANAyXr9x7CYWK
Louise: "HOW DARE YOU!"
335Please respect copyright.PENANA0Bt2BWNN0Q

Aeron: “…Baleful Polymorph."
335Please respect copyright.PENANA67NFaaZwco

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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAbJeCYW9SIL
335Please respect copyright.PENANABWgXJRjzAJ
Aeron: "Ah, you're still awake, perfect"
335Please respect copyright.PENANA62ozNt6oWL
335Please respect copyright.PENANAoW3C5F8PRs
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAJfQWKGYKEU

335Please respect copyright.PENANAbyb5pfOvjG
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAbf6A7avpBP
335Please respect copyright.PENANApDYMzdbZXR
Where she was supposed to be, was now a toad standing beside Aeron. She would have screamed but only more strange noises emerged.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAouZGzalja3
335Please respect copyright.PENANA9W4So8AYXy
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.’
335Please respect copyright.PENANASguozKf50x
335Please respect copyright.PENANAG3ZxbX60iP
Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard Aeron laugh.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAyo6oFkSGZ5
335Please respect copyright.PENANAgLOJPO0aB0
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."
335Please respect copyright.PENANAsvkc0joOjK
335Please respect copyright.PENANARnltucav2C
Louise: ‘Why?!’
335Please respect copyright.PENANAL2wx7DLLFY
335Please respect copyright.PENANAhVrWaLCJys
She tries to ask with her mouth but only animals escape it.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAheYvUqCih5
335Please respect copyright.PENANABOgBnWGTUQ
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.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANANCsOGdjo8I
335Please respect copyright.PENANANFwDBdadaR
Louise: ‘I will learn! I will learn! Please just turn me back!’
335Please respect copyright.PENANAdR71GhkVEm
335Please respect copyright.PENANAprYGR0UsbZ
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."
335Please respect copyright.PENANAu84NKayN5r
335Please respect copyright.PENANAtAzMqDteAw
Louise: ‘I command you to turn me back familiar!’
335Please respect copyright.PENANANqmIJYoQIf
335Please respect copyright.PENANAi2U7hd1cXf
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?"
335Please respect copyright.PENANAC8sa6MlvBc
335Please respect copyright.PENANA0tNr1rKS1k
Louise: ‘Because...you're my familiar?’
335Please respect copyright.PENANAYLOsSjlsRM
335Please respect copyright.PENANAWyMlO3SNri
Aeron: "Goodbye little one"
335Please respect copyright.PENANATmvmLkV2mZ
335Please respect copyright.PENANAiHQ8w31feO
Aeron changed his shape back into his human form and started to meld into the shadow of the room.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAvXehd6pUR3
335Please respect copyright.PENANA1I9WDClJwL
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?
335Please respect copyright.PENANALiSu3UxRFL
335Please respect copyright.PENANAM5j1dWMM0a
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?’
335Please respect copyright.PENANAdAD9Tjq3Ru
335Please respect copyright.PENANAKXr783lit6
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAlEaYXJvmNg
335Please respect copyright.PENANAjueGElHBpC
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAAhs5BD8unc
335Please respect copyright.PENANAH1fQ59Ve37
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAxkIEJQI8Rr
335Please respect copyright.PENANAidgeESE7mi
Before despair fully broke her, she heard laughter coming from the darkness that surrounded her.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAOhcfRjuFrA
335Please respect copyright.PENANALDpENDyEqC
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."
335Please respect copyright.PENANAPfrVCPEJu1
335Please respect copyright.PENANAFgD7c77IOW
Aeron emerged from the shadows and snapped his fingers.Louise found herself back on the bed, looking at her hands.
335Please respect copyright.PENANA8XCaoDAZoR
335Please respect copyright.PENANA6Abd1Qk6EY
Louise: ‘I’m…back.’
335Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2u4icdKFF
335Please respect copyright.PENANAFUKS6xTBw5
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…
335Please respect copyright.PENANA5qTWTIKms0
335Please respect copyright.PENANAFlxMWaQ60M
After she got a hold of herself, she spotted Aeron, not as a snake but as a human.
335Please respect copyright.PENANABbx4DDM4Gf
335Please respect copyright.PENANAkfE66LjfJA
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?
335Please respect copyright.PENANA0Nvln8ZFyn
335Please respect copyright.PENANA8CKiR9gpmI
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAIrL5sVTbjF
335Please respect copyright.PENANAMFfu3Yim8h
Louise: "So, w-why can you use magic? A-Are you a noble?"
335Please respect copyright.PENANAxR2HkSmDYC
335Please respect copyright.PENANA3b3FL2hPAi
Chuckling Aeron seated himself in one of the chairs in the room.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAFrcyauJILi
335Please respect copyright.PENANAkQXlD1pbPw
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."
335Please respect copyright.PENANAGt0wOfyn2s
335Please respect copyright.PENANAnKAV6zTMZe
Louise: "But how? Nobility comes from magic. Unless…you’re not from this world. Just like the others.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAtLYLWawzHg
335Please respect copyright.PENANAZQUMlsqFZ1
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.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAIHjZhtwPEB
335Please respect copyright.PENANAZspmUOZUVd
Aeron: “Now, back to teaching you magic. First, let go of the wand. You won’t need it for my magic.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAOvNcDgzqfy
335Please respect copyright.PENANADu1P4juMW7
Louise: “So you’ll be teaching me what that Raskeria girl did.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANABFr7AyYW26
335Please respect copyright.PENANATZJggwpAiF
Aeron: “…Something like that.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAKQ1yJvWc8E
335Please respect copyright.PENANAOy2L9mKpRU
Louise: “Can I…really do that? I’m not from your world.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAVuiMC09d3z
335Please respect copyright.PENANAcN74ZHP1Pg
Aeron: “Trust me. Unless…you want to be a Zero all your life.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAIObQfmFZwU
335Please respect copyright.PENANAxua7AYuRck
Louise: “NO!”
335Please respect copyright.PENANApOW7ktVqvi
335Please respect copyright.PENANAdumDiY5l8X
Aeron: “Then let go of the wand.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAVtWqCd9wlg
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAHvBb4WDJT7
335Please respect copyright.PENANAo4rirQySbj
Aeron then proceeded to crush it underfoot, sending its pieces across the floor. That part of her life…is now dead.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAVW7BHZykV8
335Please respect copyright.PENANAvtuNFsS5U2
Aeron: “When I’m done, you’ll be able to do that binding ritual with a finger. Now…”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAcBdDk7pj9h
335Please respect copyright.PENANA5qZxoDicUW
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAa35IX0AGyK
335Please respect copyright.PENANA1OPous71YO
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANA0VGiwr5616
335Please respect copyright.PENANAdIdO1svoHO
Louise: "Whats this?"
335Please respect copyright.PENANA4ASOYAHOgj
335Please respect copyright.PENANA9dnnjpew0e
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."
335Please respect copyright.PENANAewwG4AasIN
335Please respect copyright.PENANAYJOjWnHj5u
Louise: "...I...can't read these runes."
335Please respect copyright.PENANA5tI2c0PMkx
335Please respect copyright.PENANAfw3vGunyTb
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAk66zRAi0GB
335Please respect copyright.PENANA74bRidr1LZ
Aeron smirked behind his mask.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAtcphUyvrFH
335Please respect copyright.PENANAd4Nv3hoNdE
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."
335Please respect copyright.PENANApcTv5Mp181
335Please respect copyright.PENANADDwJ64lnLh
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAkJp63thCci
335Please respect copyright.PENANAsfDDLec6wl
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."
335Please respect copyright.PENANAUD6N0DTBLM
335Please respect copyright.PENANAZgBt5axjvP
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAcBqsVD8h0N
335Please respect copyright.PENANAdH62eVHsx1
Aeron looked blankly at her before continuing on.
335Please respect copyright.PENANACBjsB9rsvt
335Please respect copyright.PENANA7zdhvyuDHJ
Aeron: "Okay, how long have you studied magic?"
335Please respect copyright.PENANApYYTK3eFJs
335Please respect copyright.PENANAjVER43wRTj
Louise: "Since I could lift a wand. I am a noble after all"
335Please respect copyright.PENANA9thjbMu1i5
335Please respect copyright.PENANAFmbaR1YO16
Aeron: "Very well, I will show you the spell and you pay attention"
335Please respect copyright.PENANAD6wjiPK5r0
335Please respect copyright.PENANAHcMQZx0gCU
He spoke so she could understand him easily and memorize it.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAA2xgPpWCG5
335Please respect copyright.PENANAtqR8n190A3
Aeron: "Silent Image."
335Please respect copyright.PENANAbRNU3JdcBh
335Please respect copyright.PENANAtnOAWtgZCj
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANANgkMgeSamc
335Please respect copyright.PENANAARIFXxBdSl
Aeron: "Have you memorized the incantation?"
335Please respect copyright.PENANAb56m8AKgP6
335Please respect copyright.PENANAz4Lq590vso
Louise nodded.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAhlhf1eiEzs
335Please respect copyright.PENANAYrEUet0cgn
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."
335Please respect copyright.PENANADG4KJBIloy
335Please respect copyright.PENANAYUAxoqiPhI
The girl nodded again and closed her eyes. After a few minutes of testing the spell in her thoughts, she took a deep breath.
335Please respect copyright.PENANASCseuAiJTA
335Please respect copyright.PENANAHWtxOHD2hY
She opened her eyes and focused her mind on the spell, moving her delicate fingers she spoke.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAJPMXrLOQFt
335Please respect copyright.PENANAW1BDt7dtQD
Louise: "Silent Image!"
335Please respect copyright.PENANAZqdpdDgall
335Please respect copyright.PENANASkgECDYIQ9
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAS71nMocpzP
335Please respect copyright.PENANA8J2PuzyOJA
Louise: “I did it…I cast…a spell…”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAKXE3JKXqmM
335Please respect copyright.PENANAcxj2dozWmG
She continued to sob as Aeron rolled his eyes. But that roll instantly turned into a gaze of alertness.
335Please respect copyright.PENANARSRbKD01kG
335Please respect copyright.PENANAOi7ciyBQzf
Aeron: ‘Seems like the fun is over for now.’
335Please respect copyright.PENANAZQslAIboki
335Please respect copyright.PENANANjSskW6ssu
Aeron got up and dispelled the illusion of Flamma.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAudmop8052u
335Please respect copyright.PENANA2dJ1HM0EPc
Aeron: “Louise, I need you to keep what we’re learning from the other familiars and even the teachers and students..”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAFaXbICUv6k
335Please respect copyright.PENANAdLHTpOLlsf
Louise wiped away her tears and turned to her true teacher.
335Please respect copyright.PENANA1l8sOfHhli
335Please respect copyright.PENANAtqzMnv23f3
Louise: “But why?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAEX7oZCUSJq
335Please respect copyright.PENANAPjKmQow77l
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.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA0kuDxeyFon
335Please respect copyright.PENANA5d3y8ISw7c
Louise: “I guess…that makes sense.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAUyLv0CLmck
335Please respect copyright.PENANAslcak2pzyu
Louise: ‘Shame, I did want to brag to Flamma.’
335Please respect copyright.PENANAk51CcFfGhY
335Please respect copyright.PENANA9LzqjykTyP
Louise: “But why not the teachers and students?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAHQUnFYGI0D
335Please respect copyright.PENANAQgawBRiCei
Aeron: “Similar reasons. This magic is beyond them. Wouldn’t want them to, I don’t know, ban me from teaching you.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAPsHSIeD6NM
335Please respect copyright.PENANAb18LiXsAUt
Louise: “I won’t let that happen!”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAmqfXxCSWQ4
335Please respect copyright.PENANAm1Fajg7SVD
Aeron: “Good. Now, I’ll see you later. When you’re alone once again.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAIe2UHIRcGL
335Please respect copyright.PENANAfRztLhF7f0
With that, Aeron faded into the darkness of the room. Just in time for the door to open, revealing Flamma.
335Please respect copyright.PENANA4eNn8QAwKd
335Please respect copyright.PENANA09Q1ueIBtn
Flamma: “Hey Louise wait until I…are you crying?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAhpCfAkHeOF
335Please respect copyright.PENANAc5oLGLLBxI
Flamma knelt beside Louise and looked at her with worry.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAkkh9TqYzD1
335Please respect copyright.PENANAWFcNqpZfFc
Louise: “No, I just had something in my eye.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAm0HMy8WN0l
335Please respect copyright.PENANASqcXoYgVy6
Flamma: “Are you sure? Nothing happened while I was gone right?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA8P3gSajWK8
335Please respect copyright.PENANAZUkUwwELAZ
Louise: “No, I’m fine Flamma.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA3zMwA8XaTC
335Please respect copyright.PENANA1O2oI3jVpX
Flamma: “Oh, no familiar. What did I do to deserve this treatment?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAzJBek4lZtr
335Please respect copyright.PENANACwylvl2DGk
Louise: “Hmph, you’re still my familiar. But you also have a name. It’s also much easier to say than familiar.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAR86RqhFeoR
335Please respect copyright.PENANAGNal3tRrWY
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.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAaQlytMRfTv
335Please respect copyright.PENANA2YZyIOTliL
Louise: “Something else happened?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAGNJpYXRlbF
335Please respect copyright.PENANAujOi7agRC7
Flamma: “You know it. You summoned some interesting characters.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAuTDN4H8wHO
335Please respect copyright.PENANAnagkxg4pFq
As Flamma began to retell the events of the day, Louise couldn’t help but softly smile. Her life was really looking up.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAvdV2W81Rhq
335Please respect copyright.PENANALeiYQpiRW1
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAsKLhdZCilq
335Please respect copyright.PENANAd9q0gEXQQk
Tech: ‘And thanks to subspace technology, it can all fit in a small space and leave lots of room. I love science.’
335Please respect copyright.PENANASI3Fl1xk3y
335Please respect copyright.PENANAjNvyIcJLWZ
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANA3O2hCd5PYh
335Please respect copyright.PENANAY1l58BEcB7
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAfV9sznwYRF
335Please respect copyright.PENANA3KgD77Cx6h
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAc90yrBSiJV
335Please respect copyright.PENANA28q3PteUMm
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAcBEeM7bod4
335Please respect copyright.PENANA8FNfPqZ6WG
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAWk3pyvzzzU
335Please respect copyright.PENANAqGcuUdOkMS
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAfSQD8atjDW
335Please respect copyright.PENANAraoWSVbY7x
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAXTSApyRipq
335Please respect copyright.PENANAH3h9zL38wl
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANA2JVMY6BA4O
335Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1Z7oRZnQJ
The inside was 200 feet and had 20 doors leading to 15ft living rooms, 12ft bedrooms, two different shower rooms, and a 10ft kitchen.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAF8Ak6gOfoK
335Please respect copyright.PENANAxhk2lcaXU4
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.

335Please respect copyright.PENANAZJvQwd9oaA
335Please respect copyright.PENANAmjtXQyM41c
Tech: “Were? Oh, let me guess. They blew themselves up to kingdom come.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAh7oqGiK2wC
335Please respect copyright.PENANADpVQGsGdEz
Dove: “More like messed with the heart of a god and thus erased their entire race from existence in an instant.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAcI4TOro8r4
335Please respect copyright.PENANANAomxT74Yr
Tech: “…Okay, didn’t expect that. I’m assuming this was thousands of years ago.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAVxPp09VdDQ
335Please respect copyright.PENANALqMbdP0YpT
Dove: “Before you say it’s an exaggeration, don’t. It wasn’t that long ago and some elves do remember what happened.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANASjXOkksK7u
335Please respect copyright.PENANADHNoSTwfML
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!”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA47FdYs2fVX
335Please respect copyright.PENANAYU19AMEtRU
Dove: “The multiverse is a crazy and mysterious place. But enough about that, can I come in?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAt76XoMKTpp
335Please respect copyright.PENANATJgvcxOMAX
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAdszD6ETPWG
335Please respect copyright.PENANA1VndJ2GzIM
When it did, it brought the due to Tech’s lab. He breathed in the air in it and sighed in joy.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAyu6tthzwoX
335Please respect copyright.PENANAxxgMhivbgd
Tech: "Thank you lord for filtered air!"
335Please respect copyright.PENANAmaMHTjRmZu
335Please respect copyright.PENANAdXDEiT0Nit
Dove: “This place feel…weird.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAV3kJfQ39Dr
335Please respect copyright.PENANAQrho6b2Wxw
Tech: “That’s super clean air for you. Breathe it in and enjoy.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANALgzWeITgDh
335Please respect copyright.PENANALK5yaUWx4v
Tech practically skipped to his most beloved thing, something he dearly missed. The TTACCOA or The Totally Awesome Command Chair Of Awesomeness.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAhXCq7Fv38O
335Please respect copyright.PENANAhIosWIkgRM
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAhlBZjnrsmu
335Please respect copyright.PENANANpHTypefuW
Dove: “You look like you’re having fun.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA8WBdvbtTGm
335Please respect copyright.PENANA5TTzr1MRAh
Tech: “This is my happy place.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAlBb8lJeeS4
335Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9ftLmn8EY
Dove: “A chair?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA3UFcX4wjZ9
335Please respect copyright.PENANApS5p8nrDyZ
Tech: “The most awesome chair you’ll ever see! Because I don’t want you sitting in it. This baby is all for me.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAcxidDxt2s3
335Please respect copyright.PENANAsCH3GmDrrm
Dove: “Don’t worry, I won’t touch your…baby.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAGtATQ5e5tu
335Please respect copyright.PENANAbOpJpquLrP
Tech: “Good, because I sadly have to leave it. I need a Nano-Bath to further repair my body for the work ahead.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAzVztGMVSc1
335Please respect copyright.PENANA2B8RqPuBm0
Dove: “You know, I do healing magic so-”
335Please respect copyright.PENANArBSIMQC7aK
335Please respect copyright.PENANAh9wEPsYBuE
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.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAmCO3CtBAQ4
335Please respect copyright.PENANAKnjCfwB7m5
Dove sighed before letting Tech have his way. He’s definitely the most interesting and strangest of the familiars summoned.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAyiogqKnfTF
335Please respect copyright.PENANAZWpcuLK7X0
Tech: “Feel to look around and marvel. There will be signs to show you around.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA5zsEvRN6fA
335Please respect copyright.PENANAQJkogxEqvL
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAJSnw7xDaLq
335Please respect copyright.PENANABE0dVVLNl6
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANA99zuR2rq4T
335Please respect copyright.PENANAxUWflrIlWw
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.’
335Please respect copyright.PENANAdfdMwkvswT
335Please respect copyright.PENANAJR1zNN8hZj
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAEL6WKsh5nU
335Please respect copyright.PENANAuZy2Rnr1rx
“What the hell is this?!”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAMHuT2g0v3L
335Please respect copyright.PENANAd2LqjUkFvm
Dove: “Who’s there?!”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA1ldv598CGE
335Please respect copyright.PENANAQbFCfjsBhl
Dove said while looking around for any possible enemy.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAo8YweXSxRv
335Please respect copyright.PENANAfCU4ylsQjI
Tech: “It’s a sound transmission from outside Dove, no one is attacking.’
335Please respect copyright.PENANA2B0MeJpMaD
335Please respect copyright.PENANAhw8CvICXSs
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAenHsWhykv9
335Please respect copyright.PENANAkGHGPCFivR
Standing outside is Raskreia who is looking at the screen with an interested look.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAJxMxMLESaz
335Please respect copyright.PENANAkzfcZLO1dA
Raskreia: “Oh, I get it. Okay, who built this? I swear it wasn’t the last time I checked.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAHY0eKDn3jv
335Please respect copyright.PENANAgVbPh0KD8u
Tech: “One of us?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAjQYz9dxONk
335Please respect copyright.PENANAdcrctJWyxY
Dove: “Yeah, the one who can use the gate spell to go back home. She’s currently helping Jake first.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAZ42QBvSQ7S
335Please respect copyright.PENANA4cf8vtjWCc
Tech: “Really? I was sure she tricked everyone and left on her own. Well, let’s go greet her.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAZo8inIP0Yd
335Please respect copyright.PENANAKkjHKPXeSk
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAFOQbQrYDVh
335Please respect copyright.PENANA41gEqx2zhD
Raskreia: “Whoa, aren’t that sick kid from back then?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANANf4zZ5kce4
335Please respect copyright.PENANAGvHbMPhHyT
Tech: “Yeah, I got better.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANARFkBJ43WfS
335Please respect copyright.PENANAv94iWqz5nq
Raskreia: “I see, and who is this?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAaZo0X9Z5ps
335Please respect copyright.PENANAh4SJgOddl4
Dove: “I’m Dovahkiin. Call me Dove when I’m in this form.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAuzwb6aJJ7y
335Please respect copyright.PENANAw33FIlL3cd
Raskreia: “No way, really? Zander didn’t mention that. Does that mean you’re undercover or something?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANANt15qFNalk
335Please respect copyright.PENANAzhSF2mL6fl
Dove: “Something like that, I’ll tell you on the way. Come in.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAHPrcNCjXo3
335Please respect copyright.PENANAY30li1xGqB
Tech: “You know, it should be me inviting her in. This is my base after all.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAROzGjXUlEO
335Please respect copyright.PENANAkHy3wbWkAd
Dove: “Can she come in?”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA2JLhGtZQt8
335Please respect copyright.PENANAP1eAE2rxZW
Tech: “I didn’t say she couldn’t. Just…come on.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA63mRTfoB5F
335Please respect copyright.PENANAr5KHccgKaG
The trio went back inside and headed toward the lab. Dove filled Rask in on their situation.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAwqow7Liv4T
335Please respect copyright.PENANAkCwmvvrBC5
Raskreia: “Wow, I probably shouldn’t leave then. The next time I come back, the entire country might be in flames.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAfvgRgmnOWf
335Please respect copyright.PENANAeduQKUVV8a
Raskreia: ‘I probably shouldn’t reveal my true form either. These people would go nuts!’
335Please respect copyright.PENANAXGEfAOuL9A
335Please respect copyright.PENANAUz75U4wIwY
Dove: “No need to worry about that, I wouldn’t let it happen. I have a 100% success rate in saving the world.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAIFtSmCRxQT
335Please respect copyright.PENANAzeaLVWlT45
Tech: “Well, since you’re here make yourself a home and marvel at my creations. It’s going to get even more amazing tomorrow.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAMhNtFixvXX
335Please respect copyright.PENANA1dOZUOudFG
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.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA5hVDklxTsu
335Please respect copyright.PENANAhUSJKxlOnz
Tech: “Oh don’t worry, I have systems in place in case you’re feeling suicidal.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAJw0xAC1XH7
335Please respect copyright.PENANAzKaI0uiY0m
Raskreia: “Ha, I like you kid. I’ll think stick around then.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA559kO8LwvK
335Please respect copyright.PENANAjUlNXg0VOy
Tech: “Fine, pick a room and-”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA6uLlrudFhS
335Please respect copyright.PENANA4rkiX8X7es
Dove: “Speaking of, can we customize them? They are kind of plain as is.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAMjfWN3TXgZ
335Please respect copyright.PENANALByZU6Tv7h
Tech: “Easy, but can we save it for tomorrow? Even I need rest.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA8QBQ5kK1wU
335Please respect copyright.PENANAHA1OkqkzIb
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.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAHFmS6FjGJj
335Please respect copyright.PENANA9mj37kqx0U
Raskreia: “That must suck. You’ll probably have to sleep on the roof then.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAIPaA3lF4za
335Please respect copyright.PENANAcqdBqYvxjA
Dove: “I’m sure it won’t be so bad.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANAaULQN7YA8P
335Please respect copyright.PENANA88vG25ZiSE
Dove: ‘Great, just when I found an actual bed to sleep in…’
335Please respect copyright.PENANAoz5YYLd0Ec
335Please respect copyright.PENANACtBBbTi3LQ
Tech: “I’m actually curious about your dragon form. I’ll walk out with you when you’re ready.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA40s8Or0qrx
335Please respect copyright.PENANAK8LxBDzKSI
Dove: “Alright.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA4fi7Ht9KFq
335Please respect copyright.PENANACJ4Q213l1t
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANAjD6Z8KjgPx
335Please respect copyright.PENANAo5rtkKXnev
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.
335Please respect copyright.PENANA7kdhl8Rur4
335Please respect copyright.PENANAuCH8Kg9xkQ
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.”
335Please respect copyright.PENANA6G2LPGss0N
335Please respect copyright.PENANADA84FdcpLU
With that, Tech went back into his lab to finish a few preparations for tomorrow. And then finally getting a good night’s sleep.
