Raskreia: “Planeswalker?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFm4QwhnCi
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVZEeV5IPo
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.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrxeR4uGLr
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRniqAqVQHX
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0jmv0GFSA
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmdWQyu5dA
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…”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvEMxEexzb
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuegjEIW4t
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikVwYWDwCN
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzUbHnzicD
She takes two long gulps of air before pocketing the orb and getting up.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi9hMUl9xJ
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlS7beSBxr
Raskreia: “Quest accepted, whatever it is…I won’t fail.”

165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQOtDSKVYD
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOQraff5c4
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1h5BS8AFV
As for these two…
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYjfg4mLax
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HRKGrUrcV
Zander: “Considering the situation, I’ll be the one to break the news to Jake.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70LFkAoeDU
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkJx1mUdpC
Flamma: “Oh yeah…he’s not going to be happy about that.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvPwipkqMk
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhJyHFw7u4
Zander: “No…but he has to accept that fact quick. We’ll need him on our side.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvZBxQF3r8
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmfjLaTShJ
Flamma: “For what? What’s coming?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW99Lcu2Xis
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6msEtwyog
Zander: “I don’t know…and that worries me all the more.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2SstFbW12
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhr5ubT4IS
Flamma watches Zander walk towards the forest but quickly turns away. She has to focus on what she should do.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJsxpqO7ni
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAKnhU8JTM
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8vWay1tIN
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveJdRylYV9
Flamma: “Who could possibly have the skill to sneak past me and Tech’s defenses? What could-”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hL4rtYN8t
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z7kYvbKiB
Then she remember last night, when Raskreia sensed something and attacked. Was it that?
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QuVdCzrl6
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuCN2STQku
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…”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPNmI5DZNW
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvnQDi4slO
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcOYSGyLYb
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8A2xe0T5h
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!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuohBgVMHz
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNTHDiu6cx
Flamma escaped her mind and open her eyes to see Louise running to her from across the courtyard.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGfh35N1rH
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmDZhaxRu5
Flamma: “I won’t let hem hurt you either Louise.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwatedAtDg
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJHqN0c0gj
Flamma took a deep breath and made her way to Louise.

Louise: “Is Tech alright?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxf4EIf4QE
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6U4BvDfg7X

Louise: “I-I see…”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwlHatwV9q
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vbGvy3wFR

165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1oSgUjdep
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYXMXeHTOZ
Louise: “R-Really? I-I mean, good. I’m sure Tech will recover, right now though I need you to accompany me to town.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMialIHeRD
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2dD5yqBJG
Flamma: “Oh, that’s a good idea!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TZMool5gv

Louise: “Huh?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n7IotM5mS
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNjohF2g0A
Flamma: “Maybe there could be some healing potions for sell. Let’s go!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkaxQkxIAD
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKoHLUlbbT
Louise: “Hey, wait!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74S5Rsvarw
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNB2tiavVU
Flamma pulled Louise towards the front gate and later the town. Only later did she notice that she didn’t know the way.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGlFhjl2OP
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIXbuiHq3b
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcBGaUaycp
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteJsHeTAVL
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreyjdtJUEN
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhztdiC7rn
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxcYzjsZUe
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvHWGkprzB
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLIUXMOzEE
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJgBV3dXgT
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKzCzjb7mW
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMLBtvqlQ1
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlfHJiId1r
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2x4SMRprE
Sylphid had an urge to nuzzle him, to lick the wounds clean.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sjMaVAdUh
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHBiLRmUjE
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oOusO0kB8
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJyGdc6Fq3
Unknown to her however, the torture was only beginning.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGYEKzF50z

Jake: “Damn it…”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGOKqqvZgW
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uwpdvsXVx
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLML5k2mQou
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDLF89JCDj
Jake: “If…I had just died…my parents wouldn’t be…”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbJyUbZj0Q
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ0J8UR6Lq
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHnXl3zJI3
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN8mXlWDzd
Jake: “If I had died…I wouldn’t be like…this…”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhQDQhP4KZ
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFSNcp1xLI
This wouldn’t be bothering him so much if there was something to do. But there’s nothing. He felt lost here.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4JM9upXcZ
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8dhj7cmc6
In New York, he had one absolute mission – destroy Blackwatch. But here…
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBfyQeBaTq
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVV7S8zjnv
Jake: “There’s nothing to fight against…nothing to fight for…no anchor…”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51ojmZ9Nw3
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMDcxOQSVi
Jake was brought of his thoughts when a new presence entered his field of sight.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWeDMNb4Jx
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVR9kzp4Aw
Zander: “Jake, I have…news.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz1IM3Yap0
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbohUqu7XIc
He looked down at Zander and for a moment, felt surprise. Zander looked…off balance.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMtlAddSv8
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BuZEBPkxs
Jake: “What could possible unnerve him of all people.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYSrGLvuBX
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGz231KByU
He jumped down and approached the noble.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYeLJPySqX
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5sFa6ucET
Jake: “What is it?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWCIFyag9K
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS8o4vlqg7
Zander: “…Something happened.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHmaPz5zCs
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgMyU2m70C
Jake: “Why should I care?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KYG9OhY6Z
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4pQ1gHpY6
Zander: “It involves your…our way home.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVh03oDe8Q
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDwWhOv46s
Jake: “What are you-”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2hOeiUMK1
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4qrf4hSdg
Zander: “Someone has locked this dimension, we can’t go back.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIrfEINLGp
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CBEmJtEJA
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIcDw4xh0m
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62eghj8IIQ
Jake: “Explain.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIL577UkEr
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl8sWDOa0s
Zander: “Raskreia is missing and she may not be able to come back to this dimension. We’re stuck here.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2YofX7oGP
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EIz5dOVyG
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW6xuhIr9F
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CuD6DOjT2
He could focus his anger on the person who locked the dimension. He could have remembered that Zander was not his opponent.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7h7UyvZbF
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfIBCP4B0M
He could have done many things. But like so many times before, his anger got the best on him.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCvOhwXFwq
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJCvgBkHkF
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJJfQs9A1j
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZB6HY3zHwj
Jake: “Wrong Answer.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlMfCqA5wc
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi2hX559hJ
Zander: “Don’t do this.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nXjLhrBOT
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBmoGTz5Z5
Rage was unreasonable and demanded bloodshed, something Jake was willing to provide.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdTq247gY6
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNxTlD8wIL
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw4ywkOaXS
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPazE51IkO
Jake charged through the pain and launched several more attacked with both clawed hands.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rHtGH0Lns
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhNmZturoB
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa5koXeNpN
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC60xHFAxme
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSblZYDbJu
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWwvVlpgb1
He used the branches to reach Zander in the sky. Zander held up his staff to block the overhead slash from Jake.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWvdAUahOU
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcFg0LELsF
Zander: “Enough Jake, I don’t want to hurt you!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjGXNyW6Kn
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYfuWqwbhp
His words fell on death ears, the answer he got instead was a heavy blow to the cheek, sending him spinning to the ground.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2PPb9rT3g
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhFa8A0H8m
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBzCgQFTuH
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf6hN3MxnH
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJsn9AdC5K
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWuAjDGmz9
But when it finally cracked, Zander was ready. Summoning flames from the deep, he unleashed blue hell from his mouth enveloping Jake.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocvdEunKCt
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM5FW7J8qo
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARTHXw8Th7
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh12K5VHxP
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8XeXlhnCj
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUl3X65rUp0
Despite that…he kept coming.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hQvnUQDOo
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RzEb0xTmU
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrikufU4teW
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvQY3c1RW8
He didn’t see Zander anymore, he saw Mercer. He saw the monster that took his parents. He saw the bastard smirking, mocking him…
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6WUgJqoc7
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEcrlyhtp8
Jake: ‘DIE!!’
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5O6kBnjWq
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ764r7snOsX
“Stop!!”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf81KdpjSmv
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcpkDkDjBI
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?
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ0EEFfk2f
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkFlaLu9jR
But this warmth won’t heal him, he needed body mass. Jake was so tempted to eat the one before him.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAKT54dKku
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGydyof5T8
So tantalizingly close to consuming the one who gave him relief. It would be so easy.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND8g0a8mFc
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIF8culRiC
Mercer: “Do it Jake. You’re a weapon, one that will turn this world into a singular paradise. Consume, adapt, survive.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifPsn4pbZU
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSaGF2Ad47
Jake: “I…have to survive…I…”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT0ALpyBLQ
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIwVIUz7Kd
Tendrils snaked up the girl’s body, threatening to penetrate and force her to become one with him.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWoaKjlf3A
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcywqVLUA6F
“Jake…”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPnZjdMJVf
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtRErBmP52
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…
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HBR85MRjY
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QjShTWuUp
His eyes now truly open to see her and she felt…familiar. That familiarly was what he needed to anchor himself.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEakmbKw3aF
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMCAVUg5CB
The tendrils recede and Jake takes a step back, removing himself from the warmth of her embrace.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkMdQKXc5W
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3byvwlGOHH
Zander: “Jake, are you alright?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6jwD9Keys
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLxuMmBeoA
Jake: “…Yeah. I just need…a moment to process things.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf4MjQbxJz
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4vyydf0GY
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpRYpcXzvo
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv62jQSthMo
Zander: “He’s a handful. Are you alright miss…”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKny4CMTUY
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdLWBpJ0hO
“I’m Illococoo. Yes, I’m fine.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0Tru14KFW
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWvytnaUFY
She says that, but Zander can see the burns. She dove into that mess regardless of the danger, all for Jake.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpOs9Hca7n
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZHMilVxzi
Zander: “If I didn’t cancel my spells in time…”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu725ROpZST
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSXPHlWYNY
Zander: “Can I escort you back to the school?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HSMUr9fSU
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4glrtCrUA
Illococoo: “No, I can find my own way.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiA3aEeBYP
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepb4jHw4UZ
Before Zander can protest, she quickly left deeper into the woods as well. He can only sigh and walk back to the school.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYBr3i7Qds
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVg9VmuzxF

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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBY9r0aNUe
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn26YLhFL80

Louise turned her back on Flamma and started walking back to the school, just in time to wipe her eyes clean of any tears.

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…”

165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjyQWPL5JY
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?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrOIbGF82f

He was tempted to say love or some trite nonsense to seal the deal. But Aeron shrugged and told the true.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfOnRnuQqu
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccFhuO0auv
Aeron: “Chaos.”

165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWheXwZ540g
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…”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxOQeXruXV
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVmJmwCAVH
Aeron lifted her chin so she can look him in the eye.

Aeron: “You’re sexy when you’re mad.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMH3qZQgm2
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wYplz204d
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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJzZcPYRK2

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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUD8wc4bH0

So he broke off the kiss.

With a nod, Aeron went to work. It took half an hour till he prepared the summoning circle and the binding runes. But when went to cast the spell…nothing happened.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2NjEO6mQl
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxLbO0biwx
But this only made Aeron laugh. First, it was a few giggles but it eventually broke into a madding glee.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHThE1jEaC

Siesta: “A-Aeron, what’s wrong?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexK87FpK06
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3VJzItimX
Aeron: “It seems I’m not the only one obsessed with chaos. Someone spatially locked this plane. Summoning is impossible now.”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNX2zXHs4W
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpb3RW5HnQ
Siesta: “What…does this mean?”
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnd3FjVidE

Man, seeing the previous chapters and their grammatically mistakes…

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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYdgX7LMvy
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawmz6NKvUZ
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.

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.
165Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSnSniD9k8

Let’s hope I can continue to work on both of these stories. I love them both and I think they both have potential.
