Raskreia: “Planeswalker?”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nv20wRwGr
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw1hADVaat
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.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVs0AkzLo1
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDphLe8Fh1d
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxyM8ouguC
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0tNvMJZLL
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…”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQtbb6x0he
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfHixd29qY
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ577D8zVQLF
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvvoUwfYVs
She takes two long gulps of air before pocketing the orb and getting up.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEbUWjZFzI

Raskreia: “Quest accepted, whatever it is…I won’t fail.”

113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqi94SGhh5
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRy0mbaEY1
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHwPNYdoqf
As for these two…
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcjsX1iEoS
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mEyul88sX
Zander: “Considering the situation, I’ll be the one to break the news to Jake.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1xOiKjVuL
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRrAdWHolt
Flamma: “Oh yeah…he’s not going to be happy about that.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx7zbJCYoU
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhogOSXBHi
Zander: “No…but he has to accept that fact quick. We’ll need him on our side.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JpVEt4dYT
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xAPi9UpxY
Flamma: “For what? What’s coming?”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNvFmY978I
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRZueng0ff
Zander: “I don’t know…and that worries me all the more.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0I7q00irm
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8KN1lAp2j
Flamma watches Zander walk towards the forest but quickly turns away. She has to focus on what she should do.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXVL9IIzT7
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YoxgcmLQP
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIy3JXLMve
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdlkV1oUHh
Flamma: “Who could possibly have the skill to sneak past me and Tech’s defenses? What could-”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtX486CPfE
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjhhrGGxXT
Then she remember last night, when Raskreia sensed something and attacked. Was it that?
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFOYpZSQxW
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFISNLVCnbo
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…”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY67TzHEuJV
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9JdkxPqdg
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGuuSZKscz
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VBUMXSUoa
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!”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhDRIjhTaU
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIelvmFUbh
Flamma escaped her mind and open her eyes to see Louise running to her from across the courtyard.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOH4f2iGv9
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1O9HQFRqL
Flamma: “I won’t let hem hurt you either Louise.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2I1lS4fdr
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaAD4QF10K
Flamma took a deep breath and made her way to Louise.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQej9tZ7Q1
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XwyXNYZkO
Flamma: “What’s up master?”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFltlRJvrjY

Louise: “Is Tech alright?”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvN0Gpclas

Louise: “I-I see…”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1FO0z2KEZ
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY3fCXcXYy

113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHspGsSGUQe
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oV7G5T7e4

113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEVAhaSICu
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCmvTkGN0L

113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnYLrIrexZ

Louise: “Huh?”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvGS3AIfzz
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqkqTH9eMq
Flamma: “Maybe there could be some healing potions for sell. Let’s go!”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQmPcoEsfg
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP5YOinRAy
Louise: “Hey, wait!”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxhiK3i3b9
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzvp3U76Iv
Flamma pulled Louise towards the front gate and later the town. Only later did she notice that she didn’t know the way.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aD65rlIbV
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk4Z1VUat8
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsqQubCa4L
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZds0ULXhN
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEsG5vRpkV
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRL548IOTm
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdLsbwthI5
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtGmdN39S9
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimdNJB0EKl
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzitWzqnbUF
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUGqgmBEYX
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXuKAQBCfO
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCd5dqAWZz
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFTpTtFzbb
Sylphid had an urge to nuzzle him, to lick the wounds clean.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwi75jEhXL
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRMKCCAu6K
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NNP8ujIcJ
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUF4k4586u
Unknown to her however, the torture was only beginning.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS65RuccwcT
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKEOQ3RrKk
Jake: “Damn it…”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5oK8lKPaV
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ207cd1os9Z
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMA3QIxKIZ
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQS2aBfd4e
Jake: “If…I had just died…my parents wouldn’t be…”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2kClDigVG
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEe3JUVuRx
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJWmhGceC2
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqICcRCPmHj
Jake: “If I had died…I wouldn’t be like…this…”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiToQUPPPpa
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf3sEXlKQb
This wouldn’t be bothering him so much if there was something to do. But there’s nothing. He felt lost here.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43qn14L7LN
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXkuzxPkF1
In New York, he had one absolute mission – destroy Blackwatch. But here…
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX62RxRcpFL
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV5VFuJFNi
Jake: “There’s nothing to fight against…nothing to fight for…no anchor…”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt13ksITlFT
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgs2u51e21
Jake was brought of his thoughts when a new presence entered his field of sight.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNMeKzgtpY
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCxy9cu4N7
Zander: “Jake, I have…news.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKl2WiOjoy
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PA1cuzBot
He looked down at Zander and for a moment, felt surprise. Zander looked…off balance.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqZ58SxBtV
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YTN8mIFtR
Jake: “What could possible unnerve him of all people.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSJ6aCSsOK
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGDG2uQ6IB
He jumped down and approached the noble.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMMfNXEJ0b
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYTT383d8e
Jake: “What is it?”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLhGdxcyuQ
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHCQxaLQvS
Zander: “…Something happened.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQt6GeIPkXa
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIAJq40i7R
Jake: “Why should I care?”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVASTVariaC
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDlWaU9yB6
Zander: “It involves your…our way home.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lJ65cILsX
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6NFvozSra
Jake: “What are you-”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6wm6V8VQa
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UJMwP3pBr
Zander: “Someone has locked this dimension, we can’t go back.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd4J93gqwi
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3fbpZcwGz
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh6whhrBVu
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8PUxIHqwT
Jake: “Explain.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetfXNGAlsD
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1pbWXLDjc
Zander: “Raskreia is missing and she may not be able to come back to this dimension. We’re stuck here.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyJZD0bfvr
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEa8i9NQGe
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJVXpLDAWE
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyYiW6Zb1p
He could focus his anger on the person who locked the dimension. He could have remembered that Zander was not his opponent.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbREeCKu394
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBUZohuXKN
He could have done many things. But like so many times before, his anger got the best on him.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwAFIigCgw
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlVqzbhiah
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotGHg6Ymg0
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4q8SQqA3e
Jake: “Wrong Answer.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOdAm4wkxQ
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ChD2B7uFg
Zander: “Don’t do this.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVYUDBldxW
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFXeK92Yfu
Rage was unreasonable and demanded bloodshed, something Jake was willing to provide.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTleRgC708
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepK3mEWOHD
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcLqryA5cf
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ9k0qpOqK
Jake charged through the pain and launched several more attacked with both clawed hands.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDiHQhpiLi
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MrG9EgrUQ
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFysJ7eWgX
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoXbBIbTta
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI39tSbszjO
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1MaLPbr2H
He used the branches to reach Zander in the sky. Zander held up his staff to block the overhead slash from Jake.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtt36OvP6U
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMH1KQelQ2M
Zander: “Enough Jake, I don’t want to hurt you!”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZXndUjIEN
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V9KU2XQ3a
His words fell on death ears, the answer he got instead was a heavy blow to the cheek, sending him spinning to the ground.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxy5hWrIVe
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOnJjzFymZ
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBY5YLXSzN
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztewNntOyr
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VOg8DGtUN
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF89aFtItuL
But when it finally cracked, Zander was ready. Summoning flames from the deep, he unleashed blue hell from his mouth enveloping Jake.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNaPa8s3ua
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU9V3Fvb9F
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JRTRzOvCL
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sOfQ6I5jN
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl3weCBKrC
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZcndSc4tz
Despite that…he kept coming.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvP0qEzbKk
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajaCEu2GLU
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTdVMOtY7q
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvNqnSzpYa
He didn’t see Zander anymore, he saw Mercer. He saw the monster that took his parents. He saw the bastard smirking, mocking him…
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUcWcnndNW
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWZH81gi2A
Jake: ‘DIE!!’
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgpBMc8kzG
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wouZW00Pu
“Stop!!”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGAHY80cyz
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGsJcT1ycY
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?
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj9a1StPmi
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYv0HNfnfC
But this warmth won’t heal him, he needed body mass. Jake was so tempted to eat the one before him.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS15awIpeVn
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJzVAsg9ya
So tantalizingly close to consuming the one who gave him relief. It would be so easy.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhN2oRcMmc
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YrsiuX3rg
Mercer: “Do it Jake. You’re a weapon, one that will turn this world into a singular paradise. Consume, adapt, survive.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVAD2UPsyk
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63ff2mEaix
Jake: “I…have to survive…I…”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovpiHLkH8f
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbi1cMhrXN
Tendrils snaked up the girl’s body, threatening to penetrate and force her to become one with him.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07F7vu92rG
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbsR49TFpO
“Jake…”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiXLkUF4I9
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdRrhrlnTH
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…
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQMCsavBUk
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3jqkxgevG
His eyes now truly open to see her and she felt…familiar. That familiarly was what he needed to anchor himself.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R4cUqHHQQ
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh3pkdnyXS
The tendrils recede and Jake takes a step back, removing himself from the warmth of her embrace.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGfMgnUn3d
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7tEae4NgH
Zander: “Jake, are you alright?”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyoBOaHSe7
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLv6N0qHkyI
Jake: “…Yeah. I just need…a moment to process things.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAFJPwuDo6
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjUi4pjdP4
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfva2J8p8OK
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbGFyzKM2z
Zander: “He’s a handful. Are you alright miss…”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljqHD4bZdh
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdljXKDpSe1
“I’m Illococoo. Yes, I’m fine.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82gJEJRP5e
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP76BQ6FAf
She says that, but Zander can see the burns. She dove into that mess regardless of the danger, all for Jake.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhtn0c3MYV
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCX0iiNv9m
Zander: “If I didn’t cancel my spells in time…”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ6gxGVBLu
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjmin5FKXq
Zander: “Can I escort you back to the school?”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7lWbdPj3S

Illococoo: “No, I can find my own way.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukx3z4zPYr
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMCQNrym3s
Before Zander can protest, she quickly left deeper into the woods as well. He can only sigh and walk back to the school.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZE5uzugtB

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.

Flamma: “Yeah, her body is almost as good as mine. So of course I’d-”

Louise: “Y-You…Y-You…perverted dog dragon!”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu9q45EcGB
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPxTxKJUJm
Flamma: “D-Dog dragon?”

113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTI4GNPVVW
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.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1kOQ2H4es
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3GQ8H7itG
Flamma: “Wait Louise, I was only kidding. Trying to lighten the mood you know.”

Louise: “I don’t care!”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7k6jdyr87L

Louise: ‘I don’t care…I don’t care anymore…’
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG4CQhXNnE
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QYyHZZoBW
Despite thinking those thoughts, Louise can’t completely detach from her first familiar.
Only time will tell how that will backfire.

Aeron: “You are a…quick learner.”

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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG4qtDNEJ5
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjGPdeZIdG
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…”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyzm4035YQ
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J3y7sbvFZ
Aeron licks his lips in anticipation.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSMzOUlnJu

Aeron: “But first, I have to perfect this gem.”

Aeron: “Siesta, come here.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoznNivkj2m
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeOl3pn9lM
The maid, who is now wearing a form fitting rouge outfit with a boob window, runs up to Aeron.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmXL8caFFg
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxsSXEEmMB
Siesta: “Yes?”

Siesta: “Are you-”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8YkSmLAuF
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLVkquYplD
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.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLZ8i7ajHA
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn2bN9gY5q

113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsprYeXy4Zi

113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S6HIsWWxQ

Siesta: “Yes!”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs71ZgPIVbC

Siesta hugged Aeron and nuzzled his chest.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tXesuDnqB
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIfDygDk2U
Siesta: “Thank you, for everything.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74yOi6QtOz

Aeron: “Of course, just make sure to cause as much as suffering to Flamma as possible.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebxyCp3Fsy
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH014egS1iK
Siesta: “…Of course. Can I…finish off Tech.”

Aeron: “Too dangerous. Dove is playing nurse and you can’t beat her.”

Her felt her grip on him tighten.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG9jvuHjyi
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44KsBwuVcM
Siesta: “Because she’s Dovahkiin…”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBXJULotNQ
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1MUaTyTyu
Aeron: “Yes, still sore that she hid that from you?”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBX8q4EqWq

Siesta: “Yes…”

Siesta: “Is there a…way to go faster?”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd75L6GJWRv

Aeron held a finger to his chin before smiling.

Aeron: “Want to make a deal with a demon?”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kc3KSEeeB

Siesta: “…You’re joking…”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMnX2Um8NF

Aeron: “I’m undead serious.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Huh2JgWBu

Siesta: “I want revenge Aeron, but I won’t sell my soul for it.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmYP0p1mZQ
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41XHAzgb4r
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?”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdtEdGlEVg
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sC6dYvhRd
Siesta: “…Why?”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJYPwDXbNZ
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ81JYhExU
Aeron: “What do you mean?”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGgcPO2tVs
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXp4nYkh5X
Siesta: “Why are you doing this for me? Why go so far?”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTrrEqcJHC
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwglKTQ4Xmv
He was tempted to say love or some trite nonsense to seal the deal. But Aeron shrugged and told the true.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFtjo1Yxq1
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvgVoJceT0
Aeron: “Chaos.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Pfms7cl9k
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXdZ6Rf1Z6
Siesta: “W-What?”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMjctvFZ9U
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRadMAY9vw
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…”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnc32nhWAf
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HH4Uq8q2U
Aeron lifted her chin so she can look him in the eye.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejKrzzTmv6
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKFJZTISOi
Aeron: “You’re sexy when you’re mad.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ2CNlEeNF
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciJR4WgThe
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg1Fv3VyDF
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSll8xEtZYs
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSQjOi7YLD
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGl9lfOA8o
So he broke off the kiss.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P9FugtbVp
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNXoNhnDHK
Aeron: “I’ll take that as a yes?”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH6Juu2JXV
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO3BqGu1cL
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWLlFQLk6C
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaL1l3UJsi
But this only made Aeron laugh. First, it was a few giggles but it eventually broke into a madding glee.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKxillGiAd
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvVQJMZFel
Siesta: “A-Aeron, what’s wrong?”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoK84yL4Qkr
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2MVND4XvN
Aeron: “It seems I’m not the only one obsessed with chaos. Someone spatially locked this plane. Summoning is impossible now.”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtyFYkV15u
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuDjHWUtM4
Siesta: “What…does this mean?”
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY36M2zHnHv
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9bvO5JWMQ
Aeron: “It means…things are going to get real fun soon.”

Man, seeing the previous chapters and their grammatically mistakes…
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgHc6nrHYN
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzoQkMnPpt
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I2RjU3dWw
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2P5FOsewt
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbikaa6mKtO
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5Qr3RLniC
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.
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0AqNva5Cd
113Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52A5hpCjA5
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?
