Raskreia: “You don’t say? Makes me wish that I stayed.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAYwERc8fEUZ
196Please respect copyright.PENANAq3qUcsg3pt
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANARCAxE6hHvu
196Please respect copyright.PENANAgTKLHzhwed
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANA3KRGr3Mnks
196Please respect copyright.PENANA4BiucFj0yU
Zander: “I have a feeling things would have escalated even further if you were there.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAPZGM9a5wqH
196Please respect copyright.PENANACcV12ydikb
Raskreia: “Ha, you’re probably right.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANACNlcDPFfBR
196Please respect copyright.PENANAzwJ3lSEK1r
Jake: “Alright! You’re done with the recap and learning who those 2 are. Can you help me get back home now?”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAIwg1L3fZCV
196Please respect copyright.PENANAndolD0eiWW
Raskreia: “Sure kid. What’s you’re world like?”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAoJa1CYOi0F
196Please respect copyright.PENANACZSZWxftwb
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAyy4EuAjw4w
196Please respect copyright.PENANAgHFYGrC9kw
Raskreia: “Well, I didn’t expect that. Considering your powers, I was sure your world would have been some, no offensive, hellscape.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAubozv2MPiy
196Please respect copyright.PENANAvAZ3WBAGPh
Jake: “I’m not the norm and I didn’t…ask for these abilities.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAd4jIaUNE5J
196Please respect copyright.PENANAsmS7HYISst
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?”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAUmgdP54IS6
196Please respect copyright.PENANAjJ2WY7APwU
Jake: “…Yes.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAIGz2HL2okQ
196Please respect copyright.PENANAzX4Q0wbaDR
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAwo7BkZjCxn
196Please respect copyright.PENANA5PYMwBpWJM
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAT2kpW8Wh03
196Please respect copyright.PENANAxhONA2Q06p
Jake: ‘On the other hand, she could be found and killed…’
196Please respect copyright.PENANAoOf9gC5f1Q
196Please respect copyright.PENANAAZpOzP5RNw
Jake: “Damn it…”
196Please respect copyright.PENANA5g7PNPSrAv
196Please respect copyright.PENANArVJit60bFX
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAT7xzDTCJbO
196Please respect copyright.PENANAg0DfGVNbZA
A strange sensation snapped Jake out of his mind. A warm and gentle feeling at his sides.
196Please respect copyright.PENANA4hNjeDlxdS
196Please respect copyright.PENANAYea29oXZKZ
Raskeria: “Awwww.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAFMwJHm0TeF
196Please respect copyright.PENANAUl7aBa9kCy
Jake looks down to see Sylphid…nuzzling him. Sylphid began purring, in an attempt to soothe Jake.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAdjmSJJbO97
196Please respect copyright.PENANA28eUwyuoTm
Jake: “What…is this thing doing?”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAHl8Vfrkhmz
196Please respect copyright.PENANAsOu61HQAqB
Raskeria: “I think she likes you.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAaxuLtAZMGi
196Please respect copyright.PENANAookKimT7oW
Jake: “Make it stop or I’ll make it stop.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAIRDzc8KM3S
196Please respect copyright.PENANArCPOV9NXP8
Zander: “Jake, Sylphid is not trying to attack you so there’s no need for that.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAZRX7MdrcIK
196Please respect copyright.PENANAk7kjMC1nPf
Jake: “I don’t care.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAsJQcbN3rcv
196Please respect copyright.PENANADv9XjVnlnP
Jake got out of his chair and moved away from Sylphid. Sylphid didn’t follow but did look at Jake with…sympathy.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAjoEYzD5gOU
196Please respect copyright.PENANASgL7ALn3P2
Jake: ‘Monsters don’t comfort and they definitely don’t need sympathy.’
196Please respect copyright.PENANApHawalSwf5
196Please respect copyright.PENANAi7MVGtlBRz
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.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAoMa6IIMJsG
196Please respect copyright.PENANAfpdVRwKECA
Jake gave a dangerous glare at Slyphid before going back into the forest.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAYHvA8i2hEm
196Please respect copyright.PENANAltpYyhNSBb
Raskeria: “Tabitha, you’re dragon is cute but she might also be suicidal if she wants to cuddle up with Jake.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAoBhQxSgLid
196Please respect copyright.PENANADCJSEmqgRd
Tabitha said nothing but took the statement into consideration. Slyphid interest in Jake is definitely strange.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAV7SeRE2N5D
196Please respect copyright.PENANA9arWYUrhIV
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.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANArswbnfEsHf
196Please respect copyright.PENANAWsV8heXAKs
Raskeria left the group and started exploring the academy. As for Zander, he still has to deal with Kirche.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAJa73V9nNr5
196Please respect copyright.PENANAAcORamxGI0
Kirche: “Now, where were we?”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAGr2rgCxgdt
196Please respect copyright.PENANAEKbsziEFei
She says while pressing her best assets against Zander.
196Please respect copyright.PENANA5opfas7Z4o
196Please respect copyright.PENANAKusVCp77uq
Zander sighs before answering her.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAFmck7x7IdQ
196Please respect copyright.PENANAHmzvinhr05
Zander: “Miss Zerbst, I’d appreciate my arm back.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAOSkBPmYLBK
196Please respect copyright.PENANAG3pH7kPnAA
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAhcaVewhriH
196Please respect copyright.PENANADd9ZrZrmFb
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.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANABXtkoKw84v
196Please respect copyright.PENANALYfhjtotx9
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.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAJi7ADvOuUq
196Please respect copyright.PENANA30VmrwKUgd
Kirche: “So you have gate spell just that woman? When will you be back?”
196Please respect copyright.PENANALzvauTbYwT
196Please respect copyright.PENANAXUBA01pcxh
Zander: “I’ll be back by tomorrow. I don’t want to miss the big fight.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANADoE3Mvjfmn
196Please respect copyright.PENANA9iCctF5bQZ
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANASHXV6ZxVJ5
196Please respect copyright.PENANAuAqoeoMo4w
Zander stepped through the warp, disappearing completely into murky shadows. They seemed to grow within themselves like monsters trapped beyond a mirror.
196Please respect copyright.PENANA8VkO1auRDX
196Please respect copyright.PENANA65RNnqOcyE
Kirche: “Haaa, Tabitha I think I’m in love.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAReztfXal7p

Tech: “So you’re the one who accepted the familiar thing?”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAkY4tcmupjk
196Please respect copyright.PENANAmtI118oOJ6
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAhdyuPf1wWo

Flamma: “It’s not that bad. It’s not like I let Louise command like a dog. I’m not a masochistic.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAov8XD4lSkE
196Please respect copyright.PENANAspXP2Mnjk9
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAFi3Gch8lXS
196Please respect copyright.PENANAfx2IPWcggF
But she is also terrified for them. If they died for her…
196Please respect copyright.PENANAyoSWpoVx4N
196Please respect copyright.PENANAaD8oHGbw0k
Siesta: “You shouldn’t have done that.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAyMREqPf3SM
196Please respect copyright.PENANAD3yDvMptZY
She says softly but it still got the three to pay attention.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAMkqvqOz9EG

Dove: “Do what?”
196Please respect copyright.PENANA4mTEDng2Aw

Siesta: “Accepted Guiche’s challenge! It’s too dangerous!”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAA2dzcDHnax

Tech: “Ha, dangerous for him maybe.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAcT4KQXwO8w

Siesta: “But…”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAbhwiAoIIxo

Flamma put her hand on Siesta’s shoulder and smiled softly.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAq15wHmNpcl

Flamma: “Trust us Siesta. You’ll be pleasantly surprised if you do.
196Please respect copyright.PENANA3nayKtplmW
196Please respect copyright.PENANAVZcOm7Raib
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANADy7m1hIQxS
196Please respect copyright.PENANAu0hpcgQsk7
Siesta: “Okay, I trust you.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAXJkpsK9qzM

What else could she say in front of that?
196Please respect copyright.PENANAagucVXilYK

Tech: “Probably somewhere with enough room. Probably one of the courtyards.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAEBJoPz9Ylh
196Please respect copyright.PENANAEncvo7b1f1
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.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAq6GRKOBW3D
196Please respect copyright.PENANAd7UuFQ4nK9

Louise would have gone crazy from the boredom and maybe anger at her double. But her thoughts were on what her familiar told her.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAUucHtJjM96
196Please respect copyright.PENANAMqCtkcrdjA
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.’
196Please respect copyright.PENANAFb4beSRNAb
196Please respect copyright.PENANA712Mks71aW
Louise laid down after eating her food delivered by her familiar and a maid. But she still barely had the energy to move.
196Please respect copyright.PENANA6kUC9xQ9Ax
196Please respect copyright.PENANAVwTaXLVIHr
Louise: “Argh! When I get my hands on that faker, I’ll tear her apart! I hate being stuck like this!”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAJr5yYxRtAC
196Please respect copyright.PENANAbkJtr1bYfG
“Do you need sssome asssissstance massster?”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAyg6ysDp7ma
196Please respect copyright.PENANAnz3jSDyqm7
Louise: “Who’s there!? Familiar?”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAGT7es6AxfP

“Ooooone of theeem.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAJaBGyTM2rb
196Please respect copyright.PENANA02YXHn69uP
A white snake slithered out of the darkness of the room and raised it’s head so Louise can see it.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAZgrEaA6tLl
196Please respect copyright.PENANAaADCBqcFVP
Louise: “Are you…like that dragon? How can you talk?”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAH3xJsd4JPh
196Please respect copyright.PENANArFLCN4ktY1
“My former masssster taught me to ssspeak.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAppMP7TzQYD
196Please respect copyright.PENANAxl8y3tNWQ2
Louise: “You were someone’s familiar before?”

“Oh yesss. I sssserved a mossst powerful wizard.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAXK9oheqR1l

Louise: “Great, so I stole a familiar from a noble…”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAu2Xgt4M8wF
196Please respect copyright.PENANAfGc1jO9SEr
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…’
196Please respect copyright.PENANAsWaGhcUti1
196Please respect copyright.PENANA8ajhhQHBb3
“Dooont’ worrrry, my masssster died a long time ago.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAOxVHkbj3il
196Please respect copyright.PENANAAzp8GrPD9b
That put some hope in Louise’s eyes. Maybe she can make this snake her familiar. Much better than that commoner.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAGqpavCf53A
196Please respect copyright.PENANA5UI1fn9Efu
Louise: “Then…will be my familiar?”
196Please respect copyright.PENANA7IyVg66PLJ
196Please respect copyright.PENANANfY6lrlLmP
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAhyUbi02TEP
196Please respect copyright.PENANAf3hX2qS0oD
“Do you haaaave the streength?”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAGssSXTnGcQ

196Please respect copyright.PENANAEMhac2QPJg
196Please respect copyright.PENANAcx1T9grAfl
What seemed like a smirk flashed on the snake’s face.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAscMrXXxL1R
196Please respect copyright.PENANAd2waKscQkH
“Theeen yeees, I’ll beee your faaamiliar.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANARnst0wh9XO

Aeoron: “My naaame is Aeron, my soooon to be master.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAioCNkRJcaG
196Please respect copyright.PENANA6SPztac6ts
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAePYGeTXNTR
196Please respect copyright.PENANAhT6GsULWxV
Louise: “Be grateful, you’re the second of my familiars. I will conquer the rest and then…”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAaSO8lqrewD
196Please respect copyright.PENANAu3MZrnEEUZ
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.’
196Please respect copyright.PENANAeSGi3PHBg1
196Please respect copyright.PENANAp8M95Skqcw
Louise smiled and placed her wand on the snake’s forehead before chanting.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAPR250Wby3Y
196Please respect copyright.PENANA9USjNAFSna
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.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAtPSjdHI7GG
196Please respect copyright.PENANAY4bBzY5k69
After chanting, she removed her wand from his forehead and stretched forward to kiss him.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAGLdUd2OpOP
196Please respect copyright.PENANAnoEAn0gWBa
After a few moments, a new and different brand appears on the snake.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAaLBPnfGXuQ
196Please respect copyright.PENANAo16BsE05EV
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.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANA9iK1wtqbKj
196Please respect copyright.PENANAjmLFBSCIWd
Louise expected to fall right to sleep after performing another ritual, but instead, she feels fine. Better than fine actually. Almost normal.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAGcUWYP8Q8I
196Please respect copyright.PENANA7VzHk3lUxm
Louise: “I thought I would be tired after that.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAW3jxIzCaIz

Aeron: “I took the liberty to heal you of your affliction using a spell.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAsHi7lNouFB
196Please respect copyright.PENANAe98eqap5bn
Louise: “Really? Wait, what do you even know about magic, you're just a familiar."
196Please respect copyright.PENANAl2mtsRV2xw
196Please respect copyright.PENANA9llLtf4PiP
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."
196Please respect copyright.PENANAOjxCytd4Uq
196Please respect copyright.PENANAL2ZJNv5wjr
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…
196Please respect copyright.PENANAaHMbeQLnzW
196Please respect copyright.PENANAMyeMIib1O8
Louise: "HOW DARE YOU!"
196Please respect copyright.PENANAAyeCn8e5BI

Aeron: “…Baleful Polymorph."
196Please respect copyright.PENANA41LZOTFy9j
196Please respect copyright.PENANA7lIj6tXIYp
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAWzKZzxk4ML
196Please respect copyright.PENANAfLvp2sPAPR
Aeron: "Ah, you're still awake, perfect"
196Please respect copyright.PENANAVlnz93SVuB
196Please respect copyright.PENANAydq9Mp93tj
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAmhLi9F7XnW

196Please respect copyright.PENANAoKF54NVbnx
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANA2WOHEG4EHC
196Please respect copyright.PENANAIxPxW8LEpS
Where she was supposed to be, was now a toad standing beside Aeron. She would have screamed but only more strange noises emerged.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAJOQKWma31G
196Please respect copyright.PENANATCAik02hwF
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.’
196Please respect copyright.PENANAXFrJE0u77v
196Please respect copyright.PENANAAkogy11Bko
Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard Aeron laugh.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAa1Vil218XJ
196Please respect copyright.PENANADHCuooPl5G
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."
196Please respect copyright.PENANAXkElV9Gkkq
196Please respect copyright.PENANA4r9RKkAuir
Louise: ‘Why?!’
196Please respect copyright.PENANADOJsxyxDgE
196Please respect copyright.PENANAQnAhOeqA8c
She tries to ask with her mouth but only animals escape it.
196Please respect copyright.PENANA6qhOvrNPTk
196Please respect copyright.PENANA05nbytFV53
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.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANANXYD7Nbhp6
196Please respect copyright.PENANADVD4aSQdgr
Louise: ‘I will learn! I will learn! Please just turn me back!’
196Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8NFhSbcK4
196Please respect copyright.PENANAj9ahAyMOza
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."
196Please respect copyright.PENANAPv9sM1jyTK
196Please respect copyright.PENANA3u2izsndoh
Louise: ‘I command you to turn me back familiar!’
196Please respect copyright.PENANAoSzuWy1tB1
196Please respect copyright.PENANAvSImuHoIki
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?"
196Please respect copyright.PENANAUfngNc9Zak
196Please respect copyright.PENANAowAkvDpjNA
Louise: ‘Because...you're my familiar?’
196Please respect copyright.PENANAHHdkT7dq6B
196Please respect copyright.PENANAezyChLSncw
Aeron: "Goodbye little one"
196Please respect copyright.PENANAMy8rYpEp9z
196Please respect copyright.PENANAI5CKfVJQU5
Aeron changed his shape back into his human form and started to meld into the shadow of the room.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAnxdOaGohNC
196Please respect copyright.PENANAXyNZS1Z1fX
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?
196Please respect copyright.PENANAZtML9NGD1Q
196Please respect copyright.PENANALls31IXU7t
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?’
196Please respect copyright.PENANAWZ11qYotyz
196Please respect copyright.PENANAdYPWGa8GpT
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANApOVpOBkzNs
196Please respect copyright.PENANAdEJRqv7ntN
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANACwdIDQlAwU
196Please respect copyright.PENANA2ICWngnenq
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAelFH48XGjW
196Please respect copyright.PENANA1C4cw6KCe1
Before despair fully broke her, she heard laughter coming from the darkness that surrounded her.
196Please respect copyright.PENANArh4BJlTFNv
196Please respect copyright.PENANAVXLt3vHeGN
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."
196Please respect copyright.PENANAuycH2rVTaS
196Please respect copyright.PENANATxGlkPc20Z
Aeron emerged from the shadows and snapped his fingers.Louise found herself back on the bed, looking at her hands.
196Please respect copyright.PENANA3mfGb6VAZM
196Please respect copyright.PENANAMxC6b4HhhR
Louise: ‘I’m…back.’
196Please respect copyright.PENANA8EcL1TjChZ
196Please respect copyright.PENANAWBu4YzKAov
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…
196Please respect copyright.PENANACXzgjpgSqO
196Please respect copyright.PENANATThFY5ilHS
After she got a hold of herself, she spotted Aeron, not as a snake but as a human.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAoNOmeZnwKV
196Please respect copyright.PENANAnBBYlxlv1K
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?
196Please respect copyright.PENANANIpcMVKjIR
196Please respect copyright.PENANA9mprdyssRl
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.

Louise: "So, w-why can you use magic? A-Are you a noble?"
196Please respect copyright.PENANAaFucxSYO3Q
196Please respect copyright.PENANA9A0pxPh80n
Chuckling Aeron seated himself in one of the chairs in the room.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAAUIV1BfWYt
196Please respect copyright.PENANAFOnjwmQoFN
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."
196Please respect copyright.PENANAynaIQjcrxN
196Please respect copyright.PENANAeDJAx7CZ2T
Louise: "But how? Nobility comes from magic. Unless…you’re not from this world. Just like the others.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAvrAOKagRI1
196Please respect copyright.PENANAVzhCu181kw
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.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAJJDixusALS
196Please respect copyright.PENANA1i145bPX1I
Aeron: “Now, back to teaching you magic. First, let go of the wand. You won’t need it for my magic.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAet4CVEbc1s
196Please respect copyright.PENANAEkhn19Fhog
Louise: “So you’ll be teaching me what that Raskeria girl did.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAjecpS2sFcK
196Please respect copyright.PENANAmYzRyKp6Lu
Aeron: “…Something like that.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAOzAm1B8ONg
196Please respect copyright.PENANAEn1XNod28M
Louise: “Can I…really do that? I’m not from your world.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAb4jhtaeVwx
196Please respect copyright.PENANAcNhV4v1EUG
Aeron: “Trust me. Unless…you want to be a Zero all your life.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAGHzefIZNvE
196Please respect copyright.PENANAGT7MCNgz7M
Louise: “NO!”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAS52b7ISH7p
196Please respect copyright.PENANAGL38TR0uMd
Aeron: “Then let go of the wand.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANApmJrM8h4Cj
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAi2Ds5IbOB7
196Please respect copyright.PENANA2L7HIvloyd
Aeron then proceeded to crush it underfoot, sending its pieces across the floor. That part of her life…is now dead.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAGLuGRYdlPV
196Please respect copyright.PENANAmFsaJMtlY0
Aeron: “When I’m done, you’ll be able to do that binding ritual with a finger. Now…”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAljJxnwR9Hz
196Please respect copyright.PENANAoJQcmIp5AF
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAfG8Z5ytox0
196Please respect copyright.PENANAq2mt9EOkHE
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAEofU94Fk8t
196Please respect copyright.PENANAkP54DDj7wM
Louise: "Whats this?"
196Please respect copyright.PENANA6aLfCdRxx8
196Please respect copyright.PENANAVI3fCrjPfT
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."
196Please respect copyright.PENANAZuoGZvmUpj
196Please respect copyright.PENANAYuG8x6eH2T
Louise: "...I...can't read these runes."
196Please respect copyright.PENANALK01NqOgtH
196Please respect copyright.PENANAM10MyrP2BO
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANACJKHoIbZ54
196Please respect copyright.PENANAjjYFEmGnvd
Aeron smirked behind his mask.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAUg7PS5qDqU
196Please respect copyright.PENANA7i9xcnuuos
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."
196Please respect copyright.PENANA7gQv6vyfNb
196Please respect copyright.PENANAviFdaf8GWh
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAdaQedXaMQr
196Please respect copyright.PENANAfIsRkK30eJ
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."
196Please respect copyright.PENANAS4JDllwdi3
196Please respect copyright.PENANAoZfiUuvb64
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAK03ivINO2d
196Please respect copyright.PENANAMEd3TQYPaC
Aeron looked blankly at her before continuing on.
196Please respect copyright.PENANA8lFCagHO1k
196Please respect copyright.PENANAyg9se6Siz2
Aeron: "Okay, how long have you studied magic?"
196Please respect copyright.PENANACVNAR6uVzN
196Please respect copyright.PENANAVMgHwlZZlM
Louise: "Since I could lift a wand. I am a noble after all"
196Please respect copyright.PENANAd1BlrOiOyp
196Please respect copyright.PENANASZkfs5ztJo
Aeron: "Very well, I will show you the spell and you pay attention"
196Please respect copyright.PENANA1wVVH7a8X6
196Please respect copyright.PENANAALWont1nBU
He spoke so she could understand him easily and memorize it.
196Please respect copyright.PENANA3g8hUqI9V8
196Please respect copyright.PENANAQAe2vHOVyg
Aeron: "Silent Image."
196Please respect copyright.PENANAsrkIU996qX
196Please respect copyright.PENANAsuWxXh4He6
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANADuIjNHqUzI
196Please respect copyright.PENANAq5ndtRIddL
Aeron: "Have you memorized the incantation?"
196Please respect copyright.PENANAnCo7iiK6GL
196Please respect copyright.PENANAexqxjOJmBE
Louise nodded.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAvZTHdDhXbS
196Please respect copyright.PENANA0tSdYSyvrq
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."
196Please respect copyright.PENANAfyWR7UbwVH
196Please respect copyright.PENANAVjS1G8oIiO
The girl nodded again and closed her eyes. After a few minutes of testing the spell in her thoughts, she took a deep breath.
196Please respect copyright.PENANA9GFvWDt58y
196Please respect copyright.PENANAYyaSqgIMOB
She opened her eyes and focused her mind on the spell, moving her delicate fingers she spoke.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAt0sCQVxM09
196Please respect copyright.PENANAAMnDxbofP8
Louise: "Silent Image!"
196Please respect copyright.PENANA2rtMilwI86
196Please respect copyright.PENANAGrOr7B76jR
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAdkUJtaWUUC
196Please respect copyright.PENANADG3eEAHYcx
Louise: “I did it…I cast…a spell…”
196Please respect copyright.PENANA26aKJUUNpq
196Please respect copyright.PENANAFxVlbVmSiD
She continued to sob as Aeron rolled his eyes. But that roll instantly turned into a gaze of alertness.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAjaNd9iZKRP
196Please respect copyright.PENANA5dgRi48kSU
Aeron: ‘Seems like the fun is over for now.’
196Please respect copyright.PENANAmz3k332ntH
196Please respect copyright.PENANAIqsMLKHzns
Aeron got up and dispelled the illusion of Flamma.
196Please respect copyright.PENANA8TjPTI1rA4
196Please respect copyright.PENANA0wTXNNtRJM
Aeron: “Louise, I need you to keep what we’re learning from the other familiars and even the teachers and students..”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAl3gWk5DWVj
196Please respect copyright.PENANAHdhQzNaLTJ
Louise wiped away her tears and turned to her true teacher.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAFkqNh2z1PM
196Please respect copyright.PENANA4tao2segl0
Louise: “But why?”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAi9XPK1oH9T
196Please respect copyright.PENANA61FzYu1G5m
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.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAAYBMdsnAuK
196Please respect copyright.PENANAOD3TkD0x30
Louise: “I guess…that makes sense.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAa6byMFsvN1
196Please respect copyright.PENANASlDEhD69of
Louise: ‘Shame, I did want to brag to Flamma.’
196Please respect copyright.PENANAgCa9DGFjNh
196Please respect copyright.PENANAkXJH7DwfWN
Louise: “But why not the teachers and students?”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAijaOcwpwCi
196Please respect copyright.PENANAc29dQWZnDb
Aeron: “Similar reasons. This magic is beyond them. Wouldn’t want them to, I don’t know, ban me from teaching you.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAzZlYpOc6PV
196Please respect copyright.PENANAJbfMeIPOBd
Louise: “I won’t let that happen!”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAh6aogdeqtJ
196Please respect copyright.PENANAPQjN60wwSY
Aeron: “Good. Now, I’ll see you later. When you’re alone once again.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAcYQd62cS1n
196Please respect copyright.PENANA4xmu3mGoWW
With that, Aeron faded into the darkness of the room. Just in time for the door to open, revealing Flamma.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAaSImonJ4w3
196Please respect copyright.PENANABXG7N4ovTG
Flamma: “Hey Louise wait until I…are you crying?”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAXUG1LE8hKj
196Please respect copyright.PENANACHWHnaDlA8
Flamma knelt beside Louise and looked at her with worry.
196Please respect copyright.PENANA7gVxYFKlR1
196Please respect copyright.PENANApHUUXpOUZS
Louise: “No, I just had something in my eye.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANApqeYfepIEi
196Please respect copyright.PENANAMZoWsEMROw
Flamma: “Are you sure? Nothing happened while I was gone right?”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAxssj356YkT
196Please respect copyright.PENANAFsMrMwC8ae
Louise: “No, I’m fine Flamma.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANA7kPESqw4q2
196Please respect copyright.PENANAaYNrCRRwE9
Flamma: “Oh, no familiar. What did I do to deserve this treatment?”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAIMJzW3bCl6
196Please respect copyright.PENANALZmN8oCfmX
Louise: “Hmph, you’re still my familiar. But you also have a name. It’s also much easier to say than familiar.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANA8deEvkSOx5
196Please respect copyright.PENANAZF26mUSM5c
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.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANANSvv6K40Td
196Please respect copyright.PENANAClP5kYNUMj
Louise: “Something else happened?”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAKjgGsKMJsL
196Please respect copyright.PENANAtoWFjt8Yxw
Flamma: “You know it. You summoned some interesting characters.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAeFuekvMLi2
196Please respect copyright.PENANAMpqrvdywK6
As Flamma began to retell the events of the day, Louise couldn’t help but softly smile. Her life was really looking up.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAV7Zp9n30oR
196Please respect copyright.PENANA7pcjDp3vNw
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAXCbOE6E3Jv
196Please respect copyright.PENANAaSv006MMlg
Tech: ‘And thanks to subspace technology, it can all fit in a small space and leave lots of room. I love science.’
196Please respect copyright.PENANA9r6ck5cnmJ
196Please respect copyright.PENANASTIk7mj4WJ
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAARHJgbMFar
196Please respect copyright.PENANApKvglX8KCl
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAafzOZI7604
196Please respect copyright.PENANAquOJvKMigz
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAcKIKA0sKQ6
196Please respect copyright.PENANAw0e0ms8kPk
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAlty4FmcFwl
196Please respect copyright.PENANAr1nplH9yCV
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAHsg93RGjVX
196Please respect copyright.PENANAhKKkcfYPQA
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAGuTWbvnOjj
196Please respect copyright.PENANAyvvNxjmnfG
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAscjD8qIqmk
196Please respect copyright.PENANAhk3F6jnwax
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAwgTIvBxkdk
196Please respect copyright.PENANAp93pq4u6Bv
The inside was 200 feet and had 20 doors leading to 15ft living rooms, 12ft bedrooms, two different shower rooms, and a 10ft kitchen.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAWspZMNN52c
196Please respect copyright.PENANAR5IuigcRQz
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.

Dove: “The Deep Elves and they were the most advanced race on Nirn. Their machines still exist to this day.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAo2cHeJPggp
196Please respect copyright.PENANArfdr2bbxtN
Tech: “Were? Oh, let me guess. They blew themselves up to kingdom come.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANANX7HWyVLHr
196Please respect copyright.PENANABClQmpOzmS
Dove: “More like messed with the heart of a god and thus erased their entire race from existence in an instant.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANADXZjcc4kX1
196Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2G7NRO3G4
Tech: “…Okay, didn’t expect that. I’m assuming this was thousands of years ago.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAug8oKMtwN5
196Please respect copyright.PENANASMANXuYgHF
Dove: “Before you say it’s an exaggeration, don’t. It wasn’t that long ago and some elves do remember what happened.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAxmELzvfllQ
196Please respect copyright.PENANA6oE38LiGW2
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!”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAfSMxchgQgS
196Please respect copyright.PENANA4sWkJbRMWK
Dove: “The multiverse is a crazy and mysterious place. But enough about that, can I come in?”
196Please respect copyright.PENANA83IzCIilN5
196Please respect copyright.PENANArwoWPmp2oa
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAhy8gse05dn
196Please respect copyright.PENANAGQEQHpFsJM
When it did, it brought the due to Tech’s lab. He breathed in the air in it and sighed in joy.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAsemXZ5VDlh
196Please respect copyright.PENANAWUnpcEuP26
Tech: "Thank you lord for filtered air!"
196Please respect copyright.PENANAzsWQAfhoxn
196Please respect copyright.PENANASLj4rpSqy2
Dove: “This place feel…weird.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANA5Yyfgt5sxT
196Please respect copyright.PENANAaWFClTUs1G
Tech: “That’s super clean air for you. Breathe it in and enjoy.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANApeXp5hMams
196Please respect copyright.PENANAARXRwXdeLb
Tech practically skipped to his most beloved thing, something he dearly missed. The TTACCOA or The Totally Awesome Command Chair Of Awesomeness.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAEV13xTVCJC
196Please respect copyright.PENANAZBbRfkOfxo
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAGusC3szz0k
196Please respect copyright.PENANAv7vtxGKS08
Dove: “You look like you’re having fun.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANACWTHmasUSl
196Please respect copyright.PENANALyt57Zr0EF
Tech: “This is my happy place.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAeY6UVn83Ha
196Please respect copyright.PENANAKA58ZNwBJK
Dove: “A chair?”
196Please respect copyright.PENANApRrmcZAkJm
196Please respect copyright.PENANAockLKBXkiQ
Tech: “The most awesome chair you’ll ever see! Because I don’t want you sitting in it. This baby is all for me.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAmMMCZ1BXJo
196Please respect copyright.PENANARyoKwTUjqt
Dove: “Don’t worry, I won’t touch your…baby.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANA7QWuGHAJXF
196Please respect copyright.PENANAUSWUG8R3uB
Tech: “Good, because I sadly have to leave it. I need a Nano-Bath to further repair my body for the work ahead.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAqUuxostquG
196Please respect copyright.PENANAha3qxYQv5m
Dove: “You know, I do healing magic so-”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAcP5VNaE7tb
196Please respect copyright.PENANArXWY8dedvX
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.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAEURmWA47sp
196Please respect copyright.PENANAMc3cXb6XsK
Dove sighed before letting Tech have his way. He’s definitely the most interesting and strangest of the familiars summoned.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAWUp3A9DURu
196Please respect copyright.PENANAkgNfG2ZD2j
Tech: “Feel to look around and marvel. There will be signs to show you around.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAeJeeCy5rxy
196Please respect copyright.PENANAXmJCess61o
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZE6bKDB8W
196Please respect copyright.PENANAXL6vqR7qhr
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANARcUblAUhy9
196Please respect copyright.PENANAW4bXFvsY47
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.’
196Please respect copyright.PENANANppL3WRKTI
196Please respect copyright.PENANAsfkzc958td
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAFEKOYEVvgr
196Please respect copyright.PENANAYnvmKVb8US
“What the hell is this?!”
196Please respect copyright.PENANA4Vg65DC1xR
196Please respect copyright.PENANARAiXb4XQO6
Dove: “Who’s there?!”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAbNPuzovBRK
196Please respect copyright.PENANAMYFuUFrAdJ
Dove said while looking around for any possible enemy.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAIvI3N0CB5b
196Please respect copyright.PENANAA0dxV4PpQC
Tech: “It’s a sound transmission from outside Dove, no one is attacking.’
196Please respect copyright.PENANAjW89izYrY4
196Please respect copyright.PENANAa16vaJalPC
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAYPpaYr3zOv
196Please respect copyright.PENANA3IddEirTDp
Standing outside is Raskreia who is looking at the screen with an interested look.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAAQby5G9r1k
196Please respect copyright.PENANAeiYJv5GatS
Raskreia: “Oh, I get it. Okay, who built this? I swear it wasn’t the last time I checked.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAWLLdgB0b68
196Please respect copyright.PENANAAzfM8J6ckc
Tech: “One of us?”
196Please respect copyright.PENANARoeGjmLdKD
196Please respect copyright.PENANAzes7xkW0ZS
Dove: “Yeah, the one who can use the gate spell to go back home. She’s currently helping Jake first.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAWhXypOLX73
196Please respect copyright.PENANAIsE1XQMGFY
Tech: “Really? I was sure she tricked everyone and left on her own. Well, let’s go greet her.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8fGn9g8kq
196Please respect copyright.PENANA7r91hQiCdA
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAHhYU9dv28x
196Please respect copyright.PENANA0Kkexr6B8l
Raskreia: “Whoa, aren’t that sick kid from back then?”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAe7l7c5eufU
196Please respect copyright.PENANA0CrIHioook
Tech: “Yeah, I got better.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANATjELMql79B
196Please respect copyright.PENANAwpZ2xRqQ6U
Raskreia: “I see, and who is this?”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAzvY42pSB8T
196Please respect copyright.PENANAj1UK54869g
Dove: “I’m Dovahkiin. Call me Dove when I’m in this form.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAw2evypSRvx
196Please respect copyright.PENANAS3Hex7KChe
Raskreia: “No way, really? Zander didn’t mention that. Does that mean you’re undercover or something?”
196Please respect copyright.PENANATHjHJav2IC
196Please respect copyright.PENANAbEWhxaxbRv
Dove: “Something like that, I’ll tell you on the way. Come in.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAgT23EF1L0Q
196Please respect copyright.PENANACpncKRJm2f
Tech: “You know, it should be me inviting her in. This is my base after all.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAcw2xYozXrH
196Please respect copyright.PENANAOOAmAj9YNz
Dove: “Can she come in?”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAqCwMnyGta3
196Please respect copyright.PENANANQEpXKlAVd
Tech: “I didn’t say she couldn’t. Just…come on.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAC56z67aDUy
196Please respect copyright.PENANAxWmeEw9FXd
The trio went back inside and headed toward the lab. Dove filled Rask in on their situation.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAjbj62oXprf
196Please respect copyright.PENANALQswxUiyW4
Raskreia: “Wow, I probably shouldn’t leave then. The next time I come back, the entire country might be in flames.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAmJBYVgvJgE
196Please respect copyright.PENANA1KLlRbWQtn
Raskreia: ‘I probably shouldn’t reveal my true form either. These people would go nuts!’
196Please respect copyright.PENANAwSFE8Y6fLE
196Please respect copyright.PENANAN8qfWN32C3
Dove: “No need to worry about that, I wouldn’t let it happen. I have a 100% success rate in saving the world.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAtvZK1n6588
196Please respect copyright.PENANAXravP9alk4
Tech: “Well, since you’re here make yourself a home and marvel at my creations. It’s going to get even more amazing tomorrow.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAC5YXOseGvf
196Please respect copyright.PENANAoXYGOIoL77
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.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAQzFocnQOd6
196Please respect copyright.PENANAiCxI6Qnzeo
Tech: “Oh don’t worry, I have systems in place in case you’re feeling suicidal.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAdgakU5D3O4
196Please respect copyright.PENANAAdpN9C08Le
Raskreia: “Ha, I like you kid. I’ll think stick around then.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANA3hHBbV8xWa
196Please respect copyright.PENANAoUv5IJHxLj
Tech: “Fine, pick a room and-”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAVIP567XhIh
196Please respect copyright.PENANAu68sbo5Rb6
Dove: “Speaking of, can we customize them? They are kind of plain as is.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAyDBk1vkrGX
196Please respect copyright.PENANAikl9X6W1gx
Tech: “Easy, but can we save it for tomorrow? Even I need rest.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAGPDpllHGHV
196Please respect copyright.PENANAFE5REXoyGx
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.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANA089uT7iTGS
196Please respect copyright.PENANAOFLnSZUkFj
Raskreia: “That must suck. You’ll probably have to sleep on the roof then.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAYm14Cab41s
196Please respect copyright.PENANABjLkZ6Clyw
Dove: “I’m sure it won’t be so bad.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANAiBJWQA7P0q
196Please respect copyright.PENANACHoIyKcHnR
Dove: ‘Great, just when I found an actual bed to sleep in…’
196Please respect copyright.PENANAsaPgeWv29h
196Please respect copyright.PENANAv4CfW3SSyE
Tech: “I’m actually curious about your dragon form. I’ll walk out with you when you’re ready.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANANMtIXB8gyR
196Please respect copyright.PENANAPGIPlXdMp6
Dove: “Alright.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANASpCsKIDMUL
196Please respect copyright.PENANADo6WwFzUs3
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAnLZNLFj6gN
196Please respect copyright.PENANAR9iNYzmtSC
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.
196Please respect copyright.PENANAJnQTbg3EVw
196Please respect copyright.PENANAt9uiK2URjH
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.”
196Please respect copyright.PENANArdyJXKVxgl
196Please respect copyright.PENANAyaxinCuTrv
With that, Tech went back into his lab to finish a few preparations for tomorrow. And then finally getting a good night’s sleep.
