Raskreia: “Planeswalker?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJTrfiB4SV
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9WVqhWqr9
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.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOILBnoA56c
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡum9pLchD5V
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouwpwe0kVd
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdP1DIC1CUL
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…”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBV36KEXLJ
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2NpwCJHko
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFWm3wg1Ia
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r7LDnzlw5
She takes two long gulps of air before pocketing the orb and getting up.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr8dcmkwdF
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aUEUP7WSI
Raskreia: “Quest accepted, whatever it is…I won’t fail.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGjWfYAw2f
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5Vr9fhw7h
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q5YPqlo6A
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOMrTNm3J5
As for these two…
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZytD15pcj8
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswyKrJmLxP
Zander: “Considering the situation, I’ll be the one to break the news to Jake.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVwf2gSw0p
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wge53dsA3
Flamma: “Oh yeah…he’s not going to be happy about that.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDdfotzBzY
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4n2UbAvdcM
Zander: “No…but he has to accept that fact quick. We’ll need him on our side.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMk6HDHETw
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWRfPkSG0s
Flamma: “For what? What’s coming?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5demqcVcmB
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpv1UpZVbY
Zander: “I don’t know…and that worries me all the more.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9S28msTzm
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaKzM0pvr3
Flamma watches Zander walk towards the forest but quickly turns away. She has to focus on what she should do.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4mFY2QH3F
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzYSUOGuBI
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu1CLg7oME
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxxU7X66ju
Flamma: “Who could possibly have the skill to sneak past me and Tech’s defenses? What could-”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTioMJdE1G
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZNm0dXNXa
Then she remember last night, when Raskreia sensed something and attacked. Was it that?
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2LO8LuRqG
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0xwfj7hTJ
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…”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARCIxX9qbh
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu6rCuyDaA
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF1AOclcsU
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxPWBum7BO
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!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQdliBn8B0
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8lkW2eFJW
Flamma escaped her mind and open her eyes to see Louise running to her from across the courtyard.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SHmYcWxBD
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTfFkZ1y9v
Flamma: “I won’t let hem hurt you either Louise.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEouWhUX2B
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqSGKKYSQ4
Flamma took a deep breath and made her way to Louise.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLvPekzVjd

Flamma: “What’s up master?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzNbJepDV8

69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrbM5nr3gq

Louise: “I-I see…”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zjDvwDcIQ

69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6rdNGo1u8
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtdIQKeE2a
Louise: “R-Really? I-I mean, good. I’m sure Tech will recover, right now though I need you to accompany me to town.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRms3LotnA

Louise: “Huh?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco6lEsC3wd

Louise: “Hey, wait!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe5ysHS08m
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeapop0nIM2
Flamma pulled Louise towards the front gate and later the town. Only later did she notice that she didn’t know the way.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLJN4b1XQF
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvoUmd2aKe
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcTAojQhUZ
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj17eFwtcO
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX9ZCR1WOZ
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFfCRXEoma
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxYPGBGoSw
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd8i7khjB4
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSAvAo85jr
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80a847S3UI
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pVnoRTnk7
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM65vS8a7K
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVTXUTf6QX
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFlRnTf9QG
Sylphid had an urge to nuzzle him, to lick the wounds clean.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlJndPp431
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddEbAIgeQU
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLvWMVJwfP
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YHWhKDGse
Unknown to her however, the torture was only beginning.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUq6AVRZq2

Jake: “Damn it…”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdyKJ4J7tx
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVOTocxKGa
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVn9VCxafUe
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxdJeKh5YL
Jake: “If…I had just died…my parents wouldn’t be…”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefjva2Man4
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbDCuomezk
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkK2wIcgYq
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XH6UbnFMO
Jake: “If I had died…I wouldn’t be like…this…”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoWetzGTL9
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TzMkJzDrz
This wouldn’t be bothering him so much if there was something to do. But there’s nothing. He felt lost here.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7D8dbRPsL
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OLoynEHja
In New York, he had one absolute mission – destroy Blackwatch. But here…
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWvoCBsvpM
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRkAhj1Tyb
Jake: “There’s nothing to fight against…nothing to fight for…no anchor…”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6C1BXoAQs
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJl00yVHi1
Jake was brought of his thoughts when a new presence entered his field of sight.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRJmFDc3Df
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOJq0J3Cs6
Zander: “Jake, I have…news.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6s1TFoISz9
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlILSM3zakH
He looked down at Zander and for a moment, felt surprise. Zander looked…off balance.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr8P3PHhRA
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMxH36xf4w
Jake: “What could possible unnerve him of all people.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUAQxu3Udy
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtk7zIeR92Y
He jumped down and approached the noble.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHzyTPxw9u
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM72DG9ScJM
Jake: “What is it?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv0hb4cAt4
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4IaZEASLE
Zander: “…Something happened.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLZq9D2jG0
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbyKhYGGRG
Jake: “Why should I care?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0p2gFYPLU
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fqFtF25Ey
Zander: “It involves your…our way home.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlva7A5BSWK
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxF12T3CNb
Jake: “What are you-”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UgFSzn4BI
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8OMBfxNPb
Zander: “Someone has locked this dimension, we can’t go back.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdouCNk9Itm
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTFhhpDdko
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkfhaJQubQ
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUnSN00xfm
Jake: “Explain.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNia1tcEtYM
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI7KeLot0p
Zander: “Raskreia is missing and she may not be able to come back to this dimension. We’re stuck here.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DJcy58hb6
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqfR4EFEMg
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDaA94MKnK
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjFWuZO5VS
He could focus his anger on the person who locked the dimension. He could have remembered that Zander was not his opponent.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMHZ03ocqu
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboZWzXMdOv
He could have done many things. But like so many times before, his anger got the best on him.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3ZVpZubAG
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjObbUaifx
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sT2PsDGQy
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte6hqq2q4p
Jake: “Wrong Answer.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3niLEo4MT
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1itv35rZn
Zander: “Don’t do this.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MuoX3Vcdb
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtQvWCuD1S
Rage was unreasonable and demanded bloodshed, something Jake was willing to provide.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXJB2Z197H
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4J5pe1bfH
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hKc3M7Npq
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlGJBxfWzN
Jake charged through the pain and launched several more attacked with both clawed hands.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXthungGh96
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV3TuZ8OZy
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniIE7zqrgM
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRQYymJMUq
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOBAR2iyyF
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnrdZnlZ0t
He used the branches to reach Zander in the sky. Zander held up his staff to block the overhead slash from Jake.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqxuVWSZe6
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX2gn9KNA0
Zander: “Enough Jake, I don’t want to hurt you!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9fkrC47kr
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7hcxPm2zz
His words fell on death ears, the answer he got instead was a heavy blow to the cheek, sending him spinning to the ground.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83DsKFuoOc
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqItI3234Xc
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkroRrfCjD
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQfsfhQpgh
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKnsXz6R9Z
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0OPipTkQe
But when it finally cracked, Zander was ready. Summoning flames from the deep, he unleashed blue hell from his mouth enveloping Jake.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnyrShdiFs
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5adHqUqw7
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBVGZLaFEM
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJpL8SZ2Jr
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IdCcRYu2n
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbhCrtTi80
Despite that…he kept coming.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikIp4rUpKJ
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5v52LJmVY
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rCWj6Fcgj
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRT5FJ6uXLh
He didn’t see Zander anymore, he saw Mercer. He saw the monster that took his parents. He saw the bastard smirking, mocking him…
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD1lJrcS2A
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFGsaiaun2
Jake: ‘DIE!!’
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9C0XcLdx0
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoKiMwQr5L
“Stop!!”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAAHVRnEg9
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9AEjS2n8r
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?
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurfkS43nkd
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOVmf5oZy7
But this warmth won’t heal him, he needed body mass. Jake was so tempted to eat the one before him.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipZd3In9lk
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZUW5Me0mw
So tantalizingly close to consuming the one who gave him relief. It would be so easy.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1kueyYmZk
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdCEqiGLup
Mercer: “Do it Jake. You’re a weapon, one that will turn this world into a singular paradise. Consume, adapt, survive.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHaybFIZvi
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23ZUYdT1Zg
Jake: “I…have to survive…I…”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8fbXbBEtu
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBHLgHyenX
Tendrils snaked up the girl’s body, threatening to penetrate and force her to become one with him.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlSzwOfq1r
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCcdebrNrv
“Jake…”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aHCu21xPc
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4d6UYLOyA
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…
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuDjL7cgqG
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8K2JEx657
His eyes now truly open to see her and she felt…familiar. That familiarly was what he needed to anchor himself.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveC6DrXbmU
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATOUDMNxGy
The tendrils recede and Jake takes a step back, removing himself from the warmth of her embrace.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pMzWzt57v
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbSrbfQWt0
Zander: “Jake, are you alright?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZc1WgRJ5H
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt0bY5wYFv
Jake: “…Yeah. I just need…a moment to process things.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhgSFb6BkG
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSHW7D7OME
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONrH4PNN2G
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIuDhvNyOd
Zander: “He’s a handful. Are you alright miss…”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34Q9wc30dM

“I’m Illococoo. Yes, I’m fine.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q4qVxfKTa
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF5HfpWkSN
She says that, but Zander can see the burns. She dove into that mess regardless of the danger, all for Jake.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRrmJisR9g
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJEL9zwQKj
Zander: “If I didn’t cancel my spells in time…”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMGmjMG9oN

Illococoo: “No, I can find my own way.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ7nEgQkn1
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnk9nrtUKGX
Before Zander can protest, she quickly left deeper into the woods as well. He can only sigh and walk back to the school.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswIo5zEcMN

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.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33SoAtQELU
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub7APzOsY8
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…’
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9lrSGol0B
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErxegOrWdn
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…”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsP75GnVLc
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9LBkFH9MA
Aeron licks his lips in anticipation.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAom3dzi1q

Aeron: “But first, I have to perfect this gem.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G5137zlOQ

Aeron: “Siesta, come here.”

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

Siesta: “Are you-”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScrMaDKpdK
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpZD5qLinW
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.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6XnIAtBXR

Siesta hugged Aeron and nuzzled his chest.

Her felt her grip on him tighten.

69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJDV5ku27N

Siesta: “I want revenge Aeron, but I won’t sell my soul for it.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡank3IcLCGK
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6Y5USv7pd
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?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5xPL40uHQ
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv2RmWEMwQ
Siesta: “…Why?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ1o9v2ScM
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtAgB3ab66
Aeron: “What do you mean?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojKjPzayuA

Siesta: “Why are you doing this for me? Why go so far?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdHdouXI1f

He was tempted to say love or some trite nonsense to seal the deal. But Aeron shrugged and told the true.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6rRL7IkNT
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxjcuUwOC6
Aeron: “Chaos.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2HkmyJ7Gg

Siesta: “W-What?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJg5Kx0kT5
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTBdFJEccb
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…”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS73i1xMbW6
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeezulHQrq
Aeron lifted her chin so she can look him in the eye.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvNWHGtewd
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZmZTbsCCn
Aeron: “You’re sexy when you’re mad.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0vl1Khp10
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUSRXYw6ec
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUy6McdSF6

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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jSMiePedG
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9eJTIc2ix
So he broke off the kiss.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZnvPsVJ4a
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsMzUfTSiV
Aeron: “I’ll take that as a yes?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr6r66W4cJ
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6MJv8bB4S
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl6rMi2n2j
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbNj5vjrxx
But this only made Aeron laugh. First, it was a few giggles but it eventually broke into a madding glee.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ3RymG6i4
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT52sXFBs7l
Siesta: “A-Aeron, what’s wrong?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspa4syKiTz
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvbK2lF6EM
Aeron: “It seems I’m not the only one obsessed with chaos. Someone spatially locked this plane. Summoning is impossible now.”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJQCx7NtsL
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hVdxEE2r6
Siesta: “What…does this mean?”
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE3pFbYaGL
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZeIrGXH41
Aeron: “It means…things are going to get real fun soon.”

Man, seeing the previous chapters and their grammatically mistakes…
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalt5dvfM3l
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOO6Tj8tlt
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7cACULfYo
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhripUnxrOt
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWUcKkRreg
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKX4RPh9PK
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7RoBzYSzO

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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzTW2a9U0H
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hJK8f5X4d
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?
