Raskreia: “You don’t say? Makes me wish that I stayed.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAmQxCDPqhT3
186Please respect copyright.PENANAxnaatCliDd
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAV4JJX16XMd
186Please respect copyright.PENANAHSmNwQGZI0
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAQUp2KjqHsF
186Please respect copyright.PENANAy7CXPUDpxL
Zander: “I have a feeling things would have escalated even further if you were there.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAVpUq17HxDz
186Please respect copyright.PENANAZN7Bhty03c
Raskreia: “Ha, you’re probably right.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAFOQ9FACUYp
186Please respect copyright.PENANAQpYiUyooej
Jake: “Alright! You’re done with the recap and learning who those 2 are. Can you help me get back home now?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAuhLijZfHbx
186Please respect copyright.PENANAw386IoGHf1
Raskreia: “Sure kid. What’s you’re world like?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAhaZXuxWQhC
186Please respect copyright.PENANA1Gc5399eFa
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAxiXu2KzDXM
186Please respect copyright.PENANAlaiI63vEmL
Raskreia: “Well, I didn’t expect that. Considering your powers, I was sure your world would have been some, no offensive, hellscape.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAL4nej7Lgra
186Please respect copyright.PENANADrkv9xXg86
Jake: “I’m not the norm and I didn’t…ask for these abilities.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAED9gHzffRb
186Please respect copyright.PENANADFeSeB9JtT
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?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAle5icw7WpU
186Please respect copyright.PENANAT4lzrbKBcl
Jake: “…Yes.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAcqtEN710hQ
186Please respect copyright.PENANArrgZrc4D6O
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA3eJVqFfj9E
186Please respect copyright.PENANAoHPBktWIB9
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAm3piiHguLs
186Please respect copyright.PENANAf173Z2TpnS
Jake: ‘On the other hand, she could be found and killed…’
186Please respect copyright.PENANAWnsMeDta1h
186Please respect copyright.PENANANEQSVf9oU3
Jake: “Damn it…”
186Please respect copyright.PENANADKX7w5WfUj
186Please respect copyright.PENANAoKayqsebC5
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANASzePD70WdU
186Please respect copyright.PENANAbtlHZwOnC0
A strange sensation snapped Jake out of his mind. A warm and gentle feeling at his sides.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAdh8IkH8bFS
186Please respect copyright.PENANAD8J5T5anj3
Raskeria: “Awwww.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAw7e7ogCTxG
186Please respect copyright.PENANADRyuAc0asd
Jake looks down to see Sylphid…nuzzling him. Sylphid began purring, in an attempt to soothe Jake.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAqJksoIiBU3
186Please respect copyright.PENANAyFG6a9wEle
Jake: “What…is this thing doing?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANABVtrBIYFWp
186Please respect copyright.PENANAxCuebBAhDO
Raskeria: “I think she likes you.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAbOBg4Zf07V
186Please respect copyright.PENANAWFRRSlq0U5
Jake: “Make it stop or I’ll make it stop.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAfIX2qWBS6c
186Please respect copyright.PENANA2AU9S0qIDX
Zander: “Jake, Sylphid is not trying to attack you so there’s no need for that.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAiMoyay87e9
186Please respect copyright.PENANAWmQiVhJJgO
Jake: “I don’t care.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANACxyOjKL8VK
186Please respect copyright.PENANAf64WBefIdx
Jake got out of his chair and moved away from Sylphid. Sylphid didn’t follow but did look at Jake with…sympathy.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAAg0zFyiReP
186Please respect copyright.PENANAIWu6aYZ4I8
Jake: ‘Monsters don’t comfort and they definitely don’t need sympathy.’
186Please respect copyright.PENANAQVa8Pz8kk2
186Please respect copyright.PENANAeGT52m0kRp
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.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANACpM0JcI7x7
186Please respect copyright.PENANATFlRvWxS5U
Jake gave a dangerous glare at Slyphid before going back into the forest.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAj5iBHaltGv
186Please respect copyright.PENANAGzRF1FIWeX
Raskeria: “Tabitha, you’re dragon is cute but she might also be suicidal if she wants to cuddle up with Jake.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAKgzt2iANeq
186Please respect copyright.PENANAObT3rwXSiG
Tabitha said nothing but took the statement into consideration. Slyphid interest in Jake is definitely strange.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAAsMDHNXnEu
186Please respect copyright.PENANAfo3l6A0mYd
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.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAABiNWdRjhV
186Please respect copyright.PENANAdlUlrsvAQm
Raskeria left the group and started exploring the academy. As for Zander, he still has to deal with Kirche.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA8xIKLPZ0cH
186Please respect copyright.PENANAFcpW7BuJES
Kirche: “Now, where were we?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAlt953QeK9S
186Please respect copyright.PENANAPbad5K6P2Z
She says while pressing her best assets against Zander.
186Please respect copyright.PENANArvTgNGeG9T
186Please respect copyright.PENANAwPfgwxccLm
Zander sighs before answering her.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAwMT4aXEf9x
186Please respect copyright.PENANAXSwYs9hDSp
Zander: “Miss Zerbst, I’d appreciate my arm back.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANALCfW3pWOhJ
186Please respect copyright.PENANAW0L8Cn0WlZ
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAJdj6M8ALmN
186Please respect copyright.PENANAmsECWMuVlc
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.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAvfUki3aXTh
186Please respect copyright.PENANA2xcQi6Igxb
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.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAEuNwQ4geUM
186Please respect copyright.PENANAZgQKJ6ejB5
Kirche: “So you have gate spell just that woman? When will you be back?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANADCqIqGqIMu
186Please respect copyright.PENANA0yQnOs9cri
Zander: “I’ll be back by tomorrow. I don’t want to miss the big fight.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANACU3yowPSdk
186Please respect copyright.PENANAF5c4AHqaGJ
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAxlztR2Ia5O
186Please respect copyright.PENANAqc9Ti3EbHV
Zander stepped through the warp, disappearing completely into murky shadows. They seemed to grow within themselves like monsters trapped beyond a mirror.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAKfH9kNnMBJ
186Please respect copyright.PENANAUSjJZOpOrZ
Kirche: “Haaa, Tabitha I think I’m in love.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAU0GP7bHSb4
186Please respect copyright.PENANAwKUsnmHFF4
Tech: “So you’re the one who accepted the familiar thing?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAbIpfWsisCf
186Please respect copyright.PENANAeEoDXqla2f
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAJGLnejQhRq

Flamma: “I have my reasons.”

186Please respect copyright.PENANAlN8vdKfxrE
186Please respect copyright.PENANArHLcJ6tyN0
Flamma: “It’s not that bad. It’s not like I let Louise command like a dog. I’m not a masochistic.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAdarxSnu0cL
186Please respect copyright.PENANA97LlqKSj9X
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAmq4ea0fcTI
186Please respect copyright.PENANAd0AseCx7Ur
But she is also terrified for them. If they died for her…
186Please respect copyright.PENANAswlf3wkKIl
186Please respect copyright.PENANAoxuNT8j9c9
Siesta: “You shouldn’t have done that.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAEdsiR6TLCA
186Please respect copyright.PENANASTcrkzKsbC
She says softly but it still got the three to pay attention.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA5DIooXnqUT

Dove: “Do what?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAsKMISBxbMW
186Please respect copyright.PENANAIbNOUaxGFt
Siesta: “Accepted Guiche’s challenge! It’s too dangerous!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAAFBlTHb4Xb

Tech: “Ha, dangerous for him maybe.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA0Nw0H2mBsm

186Please respect copyright.PENANAo5lsL8glfl
186Please respect copyright.PENANAyjS9DpHMvV
Siesta: “But…”
186Please respect copyright.PENANATfu1FW93Iv
186Please respect copyright.PENANAd4Liqhkxbt
Flamma put her hand on Siesta’s shoulder and smiled softly.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA2e6oBo63Q2
186Please respect copyright.PENANAblkIxI1Uga
Flamma: “Trust us Siesta. You’ll be pleasantly surprised if you do.
186Please respect copyright.PENANApBxxShXXue
186Please respect copyright.PENANAE1bXJ9KHn1
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAgxuvJx0sxo
186Please respect copyright.PENANAtQmd0C4Fq1
Siesta: “Okay, I trust you.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA3NAuSj3pvd
186Please respect copyright.PENANAhrjXZZgeRz
What else could she say in front of that?
186Please respect copyright.PENANAThS6vkkqWa
186Please respect copyright.PENANAUwyEPbyLUU
Flamma: “Great. Now, I better check on Louise. I bet she’s going crazy by now. I also now have another great story to tell her.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAVdfR2YKUN4

186Please respect copyright.PENANAJyyADWn91F
186Please respect copyright.PENANAi3mxF9webi
Tech: “Probably somewhere with enough room. Probably one of the courtyards.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAxZU1Z1Eban
186Please respect copyright.PENANAsb8vJRHPwi
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.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA2KZ3D4ToO3
186Please respect copyright.PENANAJWEc5ooRvL
Tech: “Perfect. But please don’t call Guiche lord. Almost made me gag.”

186Please respect copyright.PENANAf3ZM3NnZj8

186Please respect copyright.PENANAOzO9VSxY8s

With that, Dove and Siesta left Tech for his final repairs.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA2M07JHsRJY
186Please respect copyright.PENANA0WVFEHuQQ1
Louise would have gone crazy from the boredom and maybe anger at her double. But her thoughts were on what her familiar told her.
186Please respect copyright.PENANALrKtxDYqDR
186Please respect copyright.PENANAeSADhj3qwY
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.’
186Please respect copyright.PENANADVfZsHSiQA
186Please respect copyright.PENANAP5ompmhkSK
Louise laid down after eating her food delivered by her familiar and a maid. But she still barely had the energy to move.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA3iTx3rEOLJ
186Please respect copyright.PENANA5JkOXUodkj
Louise: “Argh! When I get my hands on that faker, I’ll tear her apart! I hate being stuck like this!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAIfB9qgh6pN

“Do you need sssome asssissstance massster?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAlrXuIMPpYb

Louise: “Who’s there!? Familiar?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAAaeWesLNm7
186Please respect copyright.PENANAaFpuJ0hlBp
“Ooooone of theeem.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAYLcSrSKnUL
186Please respect copyright.PENANAcCCMDfODYl
A white snake slithered out of the darkness of the room and raised it’s head so Louise can see it.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA1GHwtRywqO
186Please respect copyright.PENANAuTXGiqMfWS
Louise: “Are you…like that dragon? How can you talk?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAP94violIeD
186Please respect copyright.PENANAFxNBYd0dGP
“My former masssster taught me to ssspeak.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAit2WJ2OHXT
186Please respect copyright.PENANABhcChELw3m
Louise: “You were someone’s familiar before?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAbU9btQfQmj

“Oh yesss. I sssserved a mossst powerful wizard.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAjuHqIYDVOE
186Please respect copyright.PENANAFa6DskzHJt
Louise: “Great, so I stole a familiar from a noble…”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAO3Mjul64Sj
186Please respect copyright.PENANACraB5m7h3t
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…’
186Please respect copyright.PENANA6y6m98z9oA
186Please respect copyright.PENANAgbJckspC9V
“Dooont’ worrrry, my masssster died a long time ago.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAx5LizGpXBd
186Please respect copyright.PENANA2XDmLnudJQ
That put some hope in Louise’s eyes. Maybe she can make this snake her familiar. Much better than that commoner.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2U9gDL0tw
186Please respect copyright.PENANACFtNQqRenA
Louise: “Then…will be my familiar?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA97zzgY4yzR
186Please respect copyright.PENANAgEiYSMxfdm
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANADIDFyEQQYl
186Please respect copyright.PENANAWwmjvgL2X5
“Do you haaaave the streength?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAZ91zY0qEIJ
186Please respect copyright.PENANAwLPAJoJsCh

186Please respect copyright.PENANAnAo5Je0swa
186Please respect copyright.PENANAV2fzHoTTOR
What seemed like a smirk flashed on the snake’s face.
186Please respect copyright.PENANArfDMA59FLC
186Please respect copyright.PENANAYmDuRfABbO
“Theeen yeees, I’ll beee your faaamiliar.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAylOpFc7Jyz

Aeoron: “My naaame is Aeron, my soooon to be master.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAt4PXx5YMgq
186Please respect copyright.PENANAg5O8N1PMyG
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAYzuxF8FSMG
186Please respect copyright.PENANA9A0pQ9LhOp
Louise: “Be grateful, you’re the second of my familiars. I will conquer the rest and then…”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAXVh24OoI6n
186Please respect copyright.PENANAVBKN2KYoSH
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.’
186Please respect copyright.PENANAV9iLZKlTVu
186Please respect copyright.PENANAucPM16uv7R
Louise smiled and placed her wand on the snake’s forehead before chanting.
186Please respect copyright.PENANASK0HjE2ilH
186Please respect copyright.PENANAvhuy6GfVZl
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.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAxB9uszgVze
186Please respect copyright.PENANAR9ZqvNfljn
After chanting, she removed her wand from his forehead and stretched forward to kiss him.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAI8NW3TWVzc
186Please respect copyright.PENANAQzzpqEfiZG
After a few moments, a new and different brand appears on the snake.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAsZfFBuWgxL
186Please respect copyright.PENANAXEE6X25yWP
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.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAj5NDRCe5LQ
186Please respect copyright.PENANAXE4GRfeaq5
Louise expected to fall right to sleep after performing another ritual, but instead, she feels fine. Better than fine actually. Almost normal.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAmtZnJrdXVs
186Please respect copyright.PENANAe7yjfNGJXH
Louise: “I thought I would be tired after that.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAxmpZFRv5hw

Aeron: “I took the liberty to heal you of your affliction using a spell.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAK4kZSXnHl3
186Please respect copyright.PENANAGwVVUeQCpe
Louise: “Really? Wait, what do you even know about magic, you're just a familiar."
186Please respect copyright.PENANAl0gZmqTEEM
186Please respect copyright.PENANAhzJYENnFcE
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."
186Please respect copyright.PENANAGcozFXctrU
186Please respect copyright.PENANAF1zvXC31Yu
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…
186Please respect copyright.PENANA3h8ccPVvo6
186Please respect copyright.PENANABZMeGmghqU
Louise: "HOW DARE YOU!"

Aeron: “…Baleful Polymorph."
186Please respect copyright.PENANAi8qejTjOQb
186Please respect copyright.PENANAmRsMgDfke9
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANACXKdogWvjX
186Please respect copyright.PENANAOawLXpdQot
Aeron: "Ah, you're still awake, perfect"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAvtqGtKe4jM
186Please respect copyright.PENANAE8oVVQ2wD1
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAcX37fb3xm1

186Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2fAZt3eOd
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAaS8Hs3ab4U
186Please respect copyright.PENANASzo3DkiQD1
Where she was supposed to be, was now a toad standing beside Aeron. She would have screamed but only more strange noises emerged.
186Please respect copyright.PENANACfMI6fcvh5
186Please respect copyright.PENANANne3kmd8AC
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.’
186Please respect copyright.PENANAxLpY2sG0OP
186Please respect copyright.PENANALCPaKQTSgF
Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard Aeron laugh.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAr5gc3Izeym
186Please respect copyright.PENANAYAnfh3NeQn
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."
186Please respect copyright.PENANA0zYt06j8Ok
186Please respect copyright.PENANAfmDZf7cITq
Louise: ‘Why?!’
186Please respect copyright.PENANAHa5WoEuwP8
186Please respect copyright.PENANAzX71KJYALx
She tries to ask with her mouth but only animals escape it.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAHhOdToQqrn
186Please respect copyright.PENANAKtAu8lkB2t
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.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAwWrsvelvYo
186Please respect copyright.PENANArUGEn4pRmv
Louise: ‘I will learn! I will learn! Please just turn me back!’
186Please respect copyright.PENANAKaip0yQgk8
186Please respect copyright.PENANAyIxHwQIgYI
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."
186Please respect copyright.PENANAi5gu8oOCd2
186Please respect copyright.PENANAq9mb7iNVrf
Louise: ‘I command you to turn me back familiar!’
186Please respect copyright.PENANA6pJLoW46ZW
186Please respect copyright.PENANA2O385QCPqS
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?"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAIIBqwyxiPr
186Please respect copyright.PENANAJVq4Zn38U8
Louise: ‘Because...you're my familiar?’
186Please respect copyright.PENANA9CLRKzgM8L
186Please respect copyright.PENANA9x6W0SzQ8e
Aeron: "Goodbye little one"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAxj9kKduBjS
186Please respect copyright.PENANAwiYZgDOCsp
Aeron changed his shape back into his human form and started to meld into the shadow of the room.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAGJOWiINsN3
186Please respect copyright.PENANAx2znY264kZ
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?
186Please respect copyright.PENANA4Ul7AzOhUH
186Please respect copyright.PENANAbtLNOa8SRD
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?’
186Please respect copyright.PENANAQJVawPbjB6
186Please respect copyright.PENANA1bfzsCfRXx
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA5v2xLqe9pW
186Please respect copyright.PENANAzNSu5LnxQI
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANALuIEig3Ch3
186Please respect copyright.PENANAMDbaGwdU6j
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANADOXKtjrgt3
186Please respect copyright.PENANAUFUJe3eK25
Before despair fully broke her, she heard laughter coming from the darkness that surrounded her.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAT5gqxdkjbB
186Please respect copyright.PENANAqV2cjUn0Vl
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."
186Please respect copyright.PENANAfrUpRXmDmS
186Please respect copyright.PENANABcZdugesZ2
Aeron emerged from the shadows and snapped his fingers.Louise found herself back on the bed, looking at her hands.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA3bOObgObCv
186Please respect copyright.PENANAyk0tgjn0jw
Louise: ‘I’m…back.’
186Please respect copyright.PENANAQr1jMsQGoK
186Please respect copyright.PENANAB1uDwFNowx
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…
186Please respect copyright.PENANA1al7dGZ5Rf
186Please respect copyright.PENANA2HRMh3UZbj
After she got a hold of herself, she spotted Aeron, not as a snake but as a human.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAGbiLyvyhIs
186Please respect copyright.PENANAo3bvVsUtD2
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?
186Please respect copyright.PENANAF1NSievO7M
186Please respect copyright.PENANA2JsBGXNN48
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAHjxQdGOxu2

Louise: "So, w-why can you use magic? A-Are you a noble?"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAtLdnsaUUGz
186Please respect copyright.PENANAHt3g71PxiK
Chuckling Aeron seated himself in one of the chairs in the room.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAKEtz9Uy6V5
186Please respect copyright.PENANA6EO6Fmvk7B
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."
186Please respect copyright.PENANAVKHQaRSVXr
186Please respect copyright.PENANAMG9VP300V9
Louise: "But how? Nobility comes from magic. Unless…you’re not from this world. Just like the others.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA2SZnac0onW
186Please respect copyright.PENANAYwUTPAA5uk
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.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAWlJfxRNmrd
186Please respect copyright.PENANAp0eyOCx4QX
Aeron: “Now, back to teaching you magic. First, let go of the wand. You won’t need it for my magic.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAzC6VzMUq78
186Please respect copyright.PENANA9softphSx2
Louise: “So you’ll be teaching me what that Raskeria girl did.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA8Jjt7YZSjT
186Please respect copyright.PENANASF1sXb7VjH
Aeron: “…Something like that.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAkMcfvT2DxF
186Please respect copyright.PENANAyOXoMzP2jB
Louise: “Can I…really do that? I’m not from your world.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAVEOvS2ImLh
186Please respect copyright.PENANA8tJIfBQJHU
Aeron: “Trust me. Unless…you want to be a Zero all your life.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAlDiYQ46a8n
186Please respect copyright.PENANABheE5IUKb8
Louise: “NO!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAXisucaFfgt
186Please respect copyright.PENANAEM1A6mDoNR
Aeron: “Then let go of the wand.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANARKnaHkEnsy
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAM8HMNph6Md
186Please respect copyright.PENANAdMPxmouaaL
Aeron then proceeded to crush it underfoot, sending its pieces across the floor. That part of her life…is now dead.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAFLctf31pSp
186Please respect copyright.PENANAcUHqnF87TD
Aeron: “When I’m done, you’ll be able to do that binding ritual with a finger. Now…”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAdEJT3WCWf1
186Please respect copyright.PENANALIHIFQGBQT
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAS7Lu8KJpCw
186Please respect copyright.PENANAxsFPGM08CB
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA8nY7K9kGqn
186Please respect copyright.PENANAVzFI450hDa
Louise: "Whats this?"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAnTucqMunyb
186Please respect copyright.PENANABpsMnDBUQZ
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."
186Please respect copyright.PENANAfrSNNxBfxX
186Please respect copyright.PENANAIOzXyhXW8N
Louise: "...I...can't read these runes."
186Please respect copyright.PENANAzmr5qltq55
186Please respect copyright.PENANABMUJKVDmq2
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAxhxy6sgNfq
186Please respect copyright.PENANA2XPGqYxrvr
Aeron smirked behind his mask.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAsaDWS8ZwBg
186Please respect copyright.PENANAsAqw6DcwO9
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."
186Please respect copyright.PENANA1C6OCEmUon
186Please respect copyright.PENANAo6VOadU6Tw
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAcXzFM6Gunt
186Please respect copyright.PENANAsZ4hDUXiqa
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."
186Please respect copyright.PENANAREhWOotMb9
186Please respect copyright.PENANAzmRpjsoAer
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA75ntvAH7lT
186Please respect copyright.PENANAdIivaio89Z
Aeron looked blankly at her before continuing on.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAeVLZI31KoX
186Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2t4ygJ8C7
Aeron: "Okay, how long have you studied magic?"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAD9aCr6xP0w
186Please respect copyright.PENANABDwR2ezPGc
Louise: "Since I could lift a wand. I am a noble after all"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAjaHpXpIzTg
186Please respect copyright.PENANAEwhugjtYHc
Aeron: "Very well, I will show you the spell and you pay attention"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAaoMhLmXPo4
186Please respect copyright.PENANAj7m8DlsnJQ
He spoke so she could understand him easily and memorize it.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAleAiA5nNBO
186Please respect copyright.PENANAu5sRLxhb7F
Aeron: "Silent Image."
186Please respect copyright.PENANAWXsfEggWaq
186Please respect copyright.PENANAoGSRx7muOq
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAmWINw5ZS6n
186Please respect copyright.PENANAy1OlISNh8c
Aeron: "Have you memorized the incantation?"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAwYqsByrWSq
186Please respect copyright.PENANAmlzBSDYxWA
Louise nodded.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAs507yWtlrE
186Please respect copyright.PENANAMHoYc4ZmDF
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."
186Please respect copyright.PENANAwOB3jcpIiF
186Please respect copyright.PENANAKgNLJbVRp8
The girl nodded again and closed her eyes. After a few minutes of testing the spell in her thoughts, she took a deep breath.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAkvfMifEwCW
186Please respect copyright.PENANAIHADn4rNxm
She opened her eyes and focused her mind on the spell, moving her delicate fingers she spoke.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAAgeEsYIuiS
186Please respect copyright.PENANAWYSDSWKj1z
Louise: "Silent Image!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAEH2mHtsLgx
186Please respect copyright.PENANANE0tNhgacg
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAqfyvkOzqEN
186Please respect copyright.PENANAHBSIz1CZve
Louise: “I did it…I cast…a spell…”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAi31WyiCKuw
186Please respect copyright.PENANAKxLUUXtkbU
She continued to sob as Aeron rolled his eyes. But that roll instantly turned into a gaze of alertness.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA2bwyMe4fug
186Please respect copyright.PENANAHJfL3r5GrF
Aeron: ‘Seems like the fun is over for now.’
186Please respect copyright.PENANASxgQlxfact
186Please respect copyright.PENANAXaBfvMHf2K
Aeron got up and dispelled the illusion of Flamma.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA4um1QUfc8y
186Please respect copyright.PENANAC1QV0cIKlh
Aeron: “Louise, I need you to keep what we’re learning from the other familiars and even the teachers and students..”
186Please respect copyright.PENANArxlr2PHbmn
186Please respect copyright.PENANASxtDCZRj6G
Louise wiped away her tears and turned to her true teacher.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAp9QBHJGvFI
186Please respect copyright.PENANAZaZ5iLW4eV
Louise: “But why?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA40YFtvvBFg
186Please respect copyright.PENANAhamQwBNDpt
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.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAXNKBYtNV7t
186Please respect copyright.PENANA1zUbERfrTD
Louise: “I guess…that makes sense.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAowvNRp4X7t
186Please respect copyright.PENANALELNduISbX
Louise: ‘Shame, I did want to brag to Flamma.’
186Please respect copyright.PENANAYusQduTX9e
186Please respect copyright.PENANAfYGgf1Gpfe
Louise: “But why not the teachers and students?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAIDKUe2Fyce
186Please respect copyright.PENANADUvXElhkkB
Aeron: “Similar reasons. This magic is beyond them. Wouldn’t want them to, I don’t know, ban me from teaching you.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAnXQqmJB2o2
186Please respect copyright.PENANAdea1e3teWg
Louise: “I won’t let that happen!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAMLVvwKVYhF
186Please respect copyright.PENANAsLWaZyEKiB
Aeron: “Good. Now, I’ll see you later. When you’re alone once again.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAjo9jgpAmK1
186Please respect copyright.PENANA4xfdQhop34
With that, Aeron faded into the darkness of the room. Just in time for the door to open, revealing Flamma.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAfx5ikfq3kZ
186Please respect copyright.PENANAoSMqdVDKuQ
Flamma: “Hey Louise wait until I…are you crying?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA4U7Ec9M4c6
186Please respect copyright.PENANAhFrckVWUOh
Flamma knelt beside Louise and looked at her with worry.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAWHIrP1NQFn
186Please respect copyright.PENANApqz92Z3Xkk
Louise: “No, I just had something in my eye.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAH8X46GDU8U
186Please respect copyright.PENANAmqjPKFKuh8
Flamma: “Are you sure? Nothing happened while I was gone right?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAyOssFo54eU
186Please respect copyright.PENANAeMaXF2pEgY
Louise: “No, I’m fine Flamma.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAhfwCWfirc4
186Please respect copyright.PENANAE5ykic59ec
Flamma: “Oh, no familiar. What did I do to deserve this treatment?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAU6M3Ad6yl8
186Please respect copyright.PENANAltiE2JWQrL
Louise: “Hmph, you’re still my familiar. But you also have a name. It’s also much easier to say than familiar.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA6H8ushwWDY
186Please respect copyright.PENANAwVcnadbOsl
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.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAeghRt5Sk3p
186Please respect copyright.PENANA1pXD1wVQ0p
Louise: “Something else happened?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANACtVW7DP8Sp
186Please respect copyright.PENANAS7z5741Shi
Flamma: “You know it. You summoned some interesting characters.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAVrbr2oAGdA
186Please respect copyright.PENANA0ViQElwsdR
As Flamma began to retell the events of the day, Louise couldn’t help but softly smile. Her life was really looking up.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAt3qKXxr2sM
186Please respect copyright.PENANA60hO2ORoEz
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANADGQqcHMeAu
186Please respect copyright.PENANApWDzEGJhNa
Tech: ‘And thanks to subspace technology, it can all fit in a small space and leave lots of room. I love science.’
186Please respect copyright.PENANAe7NRHud1Xu
186Please respect copyright.PENANA8RwT5dCrqZ
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAcrymZWQnge
186Please respect copyright.PENANAFlvzY0YGV3
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAsg0XxKJkl9
186Please respect copyright.PENANA6lJNt61zUf
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAJHRgZgJMlZ
186Please respect copyright.PENANAzvwBdhpeUm
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA6QXKqklzAt
186Please respect copyright.PENANASk5omirmXU
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA20K2uKJRPE
186Please respect copyright.PENANAZOsu83Uokr
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA70Cxrlj2nB
186Please respect copyright.PENANApF1xjFXOgm
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANADfAJRdFMb4
186Please respect copyright.PENANAVTjElFFMQA
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA3Yepf9Wisx
186Please respect copyright.PENANAGVzxzLYg8W
The inside was 200 feet and had 20 doors leading to 15ft living rooms, 12ft bedrooms, two different shower rooms, and a 10ft kitchen.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAWYwYmOvlDa
186Please respect copyright.PENANAWZO9r95lOI
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.

186Please respect copyright.PENANAZB9PmEwv00
186Please respect copyright.PENANAqPhO7MDhr0
Tech: “Were? Oh, let me guess. They blew themselves up to kingdom come.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA0rXTaXm0sT
186Please respect copyright.PENANAA1SpEaOJEG
Dove: “More like messed with the heart of a god and thus erased their entire race from existence in an instant.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANApsdQhY5xqi
186Please respect copyright.PENANAxc6QtFHHSW
Tech: “…Okay, didn’t expect that. I’m assuming this was thousands of years ago.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAe46eAnbEYH
186Please respect copyright.PENANA1mrzIOKGww
Dove: “Before you say it’s an exaggeration, don’t. It wasn’t that long ago and some elves do remember what happened.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAVYLviJcWzN
186Please respect copyright.PENANAb9borg1ndb
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!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAoCkNgkAATg
186Please respect copyright.PENANAZOJW9yLhx6
Dove: “The multiverse is a crazy and mysterious place. But enough about that, can I come in?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA7sKFxHEuA8
186Please respect copyright.PENANACu4kq6wi9i
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAf8buCULJJD
186Please respect copyright.PENANAZOZbCXnWyO
When it did, it brought the due to Tech’s lab. He breathed in the air in it and sighed in joy.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA4kEdSQN7xq
186Please respect copyright.PENANAj356j2HRSV
Tech: "Thank you lord for filtered air!"
186Please respect copyright.PENANAEvufJpKGgB
186Please respect copyright.PENANAtovPyN2RfG
Dove: “This place feel…weird.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAPZtpNrdijy
186Please respect copyright.PENANAeR2V8g3JpL
Tech: “That’s super clean air for you. Breathe it in and enjoy.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAw8cmGrVXpr
186Please respect copyright.PENANAjbKUo36HnG
Tech practically skipped to his most beloved thing, something he dearly missed. The TTACCOA or The Totally Awesome Command Chair Of Awesomeness.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA43lLOB8HSs
186Please respect copyright.PENANAAPKmUvuWug
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAaZowoIZFI6
186Please respect copyright.PENANAQlwPGzofvB
Dove: “You look like you’re having fun.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAKQMab8x8RV
186Please respect copyright.PENANASvVfpeqKcC
Tech: “This is my happy place.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAxfIJ0zfUZn
186Please respect copyright.PENANAfoLym0H2GD
Dove: “A chair?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA8xcPp43Dmk
186Please respect copyright.PENANAFkESUs8UYt
Tech: “The most awesome chair you’ll ever see! Because I don’t want you sitting in it. This baby is all for me.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAUV9BKBRuRq
186Please respect copyright.PENANALTBAhPkPY1
Dove: “Don’t worry, I won’t touch your…baby.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAPFQPrxewoJ
186Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZFThtZqfx
Tech: “Good, because I sadly have to leave it. I need a Nano-Bath to further repair my body for the work ahead.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAOTi6hIy2SX
186Please respect copyright.PENANAQjztWzkBQO
Dove: “You know, I do healing magic so-”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA83qwrmcxVt
186Please respect copyright.PENANAIPgxdhjQzU
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.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA5kmunKITJr
186Please respect copyright.PENANAaioAVL2KvE
Dove sighed before letting Tech have his way. He’s definitely the most interesting and strangest of the familiars summoned.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAhp9K48OMZD
186Please respect copyright.PENANAB1yWwFvMmz
Tech: “Feel to look around and marvel. There will be signs to show you around.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAgfXbhiNHY7
186Please respect copyright.PENANA1yKldOcmys
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANANsaephlJie
186Please respect copyright.PENANAfrC8B1OMPU
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANArGfG7pEgN2
186Please respect copyright.PENANAk8i55a09pM
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.’
186Please respect copyright.PENANACpDcnfqt2i
186Please respect copyright.PENANAHnP4XpNZk3
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANA0OTGbaraNU
186Please respect copyright.PENANAWIfze1t1hZ
“What the hell is this?!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAUp7hKVAvTk
186Please respect copyright.PENANA3UnvG0AcZd
Dove: “Who’s there?!”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAqKKEzfCW1L
186Please respect copyright.PENANA16n3qVoIfE
Dove said while looking around for any possible enemy.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAXYxmIgf84v
186Please respect copyright.PENANA4jluhfZSY5
Tech: “It’s a sound transmission from outside Dove, no one is attacking.’
186Please respect copyright.PENANAGjegJEijZc
186Please respect copyright.PENANAhFJGPmsjQv
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAIfv8xplLm5
186Please respect copyright.PENANAxecUmNeH8g
Standing outside is Raskreia who is looking at the screen with an interested look.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAhKtUncXJPe
186Please respect copyright.PENANAfYZy6AbRHS
Raskreia: “Oh, I get it. Okay, who built this? I swear it wasn’t the last time I checked.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAuBsE5RRzas
186Please respect copyright.PENANAhiQjykxDRW
Tech: “One of us?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAv6NTGh5hM2
186Please respect copyright.PENANAPJUC7eLqoW
Dove: “Yeah, the one who can use the gate spell to go back home. She’s currently helping Jake first.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAYFJF9CCs99
186Please respect copyright.PENANAu94dRpn4Su
Tech: “Really? I was sure she tricked everyone and left on her own. Well, let’s go greet her.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAxHjZgb27SP
186Please respect copyright.PENANA9cEU0lX0jE
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAhiLP0nVC2b
186Please respect copyright.PENANAVfTGO6bwbS
Raskreia: “Whoa, aren’t that sick kid from back then?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAkDyhBiSK0t
186Please respect copyright.PENANAZrzu5tBrNj
Tech: “Yeah, I got better.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAy8onAOiBdr
186Please respect copyright.PENANAycICWF735J
Raskreia: “I see, and who is this?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANADEFZ1GNCry
186Please respect copyright.PENANAIGI91AXCeV
Dove: “I’m Dovahkiin. Call me Dove when I’m in this form.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAAOGQVjvrgB
186Please respect copyright.PENANAv3hz7EPsui
Raskreia: “No way, really? Zander didn’t mention that. Does that mean you’re undercover or something?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA8rOg9REZbc
186Please respect copyright.PENANAvdmPiW9leO
Dove: “Something like that, I’ll tell you on the way. Come in.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAKZPIsTqyfW
186Please respect copyright.PENANAh0qT9VZQEE
Tech: “You know, it should be me inviting her in. This is my base after all.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANA6JHF8jH4kT
186Please respect copyright.PENANAPqXfVXfcKH
Dove: “Can she come in?”
186Please respect copyright.PENANALCivCvrUb6
186Please respect copyright.PENANAsPWDF7WUTs
Tech: “I didn’t say she couldn’t. Just…come on.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAC6Xe4w25kU
186Please respect copyright.PENANA4jiMRIcqXk
The trio went back inside and headed toward the lab. Dove filled Rask in on their situation.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAlYYh4fbBkz
186Please respect copyright.PENANAtfAkKJitWA
Raskreia: “Wow, I probably shouldn’t leave then. The next time I come back, the entire country might be in flames.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAvZu6AbjHSA
186Please respect copyright.PENANAKFZGoOnsHR
Raskreia: ‘I probably shouldn’t reveal my true form either. These people would go nuts!’
186Please respect copyright.PENANArN7i7UgBSZ
186Please respect copyright.PENANAt501zudJHA
Dove: “No need to worry about that, I wouldn’t let it happen. I have a 100% success rate in saving the world.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAYTWsbwLYvE
186Please respect copyright.PENANAWPCYVTYjBX
Tech: “Well, since you’re here make yourself a home and marvel at my creations. It’s going to get even more amazing tomorrow.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAlBCX2gdT9C
186Please respect copyright.PENANAMMo81TAFJQ
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.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAXMCzD7fmvc
186Please respect copyright.PENANAEIWwGp2Q6W
Tech: “Oh don’t worry, I have systems in place in case you’re feeling suicidal.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANATCnbQETcQo
186Please respect copyright.PENANAGkxLXefW17
Raskreia: “Ha, I like you kid. I’ll think stick around then.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAijCDKWlQcQ
186Please respect copyright.PENANAcwdwtHdI9Q
Tech: “Fine, pick a room and-”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAc7oYDwhNMK
186Please respect copyright.PENANAgw1tsiupFV
Dove: “Speaking of, can we customize them? They are kind of plain as is.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAdL8LNp2ck2
186Please respect copyright.PENANAcSAL7uniLA
Tech: “Easy, but can we save it for tomorrow? Even I need rest.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAmH7B1zUZYG
186Please respect copyright.PENANARcYXuOVNE2
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.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAs5zMP7t7Tb
186Please respect copyright.PENANA4q4hKswihi
Raskreia: “That must suck. You’ll probably have to sleep on the roof then.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAkAapvA1rqJ
186Please respect copyright.PENANAX83CJUoS9D
Dove: “I’m sure it won’t be so bad.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAwnuOYlKSZf
186Please respect copyright.PENANA0K4GNCEpxo
Dove: ‘Great, just when I found an actual bed to sleep in…’
186Please respect copyright.PENANAfFr0064jYy
186Please respect copyright.PENANAO7KLyijObv
Tech: “I’m actually curious about your dragon form. I’ll walk out with you when you’re ready.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAVSjVxGVAEk
186Please respect copyright.PENANADn7nEfIo0d
Dove: “Alright.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAolS6zlGpJb
186Please respect copyright.PENANAczdLOAZ03P
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAW0wWVCErCP
186Please respect copyright.PENANAq5R8QJSrmy
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.
186Please respect copyright.PENANAkTEvc5KHBp
186Please respect copyright.PENANAlwFwqwyskQ
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.”
186Please respect copyright.PENANAouLlqSpKUF
186Please respect copyright.PENANANcOveEqbPv
With that, Tech went back into his lab to finish a few preparations for tomorrow. And then finally getting a good night’s sleep.
