Siesta was blown away by what she was seeing. A white clean world with strange tasting air unlike anything she was used to. Regardless, she stepped onto a strange large platform with her dearest friends. Then it shook before sinking down, making her grab onto Dove.

Once the platform was deep enough, two sets of steel doors closed over head. Then the door before them opened revealing a very large room.

All around, the group saw things being moved about by metal arms moving on their own. Little metal golems flew about, fiddling and carrying things around the complex.

To everyone but Dove, it was strange and alien.

After saying his piece, Tech made his way over to an another platform and spread out his arms, waiting. After a second, hands and arms came out and aided in removing his armor then reassembling it on a nearby rack. They then gave him back his goggles and headphone before he came back down. But something was off, he was a little…pale.

Tech led the group to another lift which took them to another room above. Not as large as the last but it was more organized, something like a dorm room.

Dove opened the closest door and to her surprise, it had a medieval style design. Not quite the Nord design she’s used to but it’s better than everything else here.

Flamma looked at them and wondered if she should reveal what she felt. Would they use Louise and abuse her potential? After a moment, the answer was clear to see.

Tech is too proud to do it, Dove has no need of it and Siesta is too sweet. But how much to tell, that’s the question.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLPjw5poGZ

185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xe6k3ZkT1
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasY4ZGjZvl
Flamma: “Yes, Louise has Void Magic but it’s more than that. The power I sensed within her is…incredible. It’s may even surpass my power.”

185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTrp2QikVY
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4Oxh2UWCQ
Before Flamma can quip herself, a thin sheet of harden light shot out from the side of the rod.

Unbeknownst to everyone in Tech’s base, something had slithered in. A snake on a mission. But even Aeron had to admit that the place was well secured and impressive.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCMYM4LwkW
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L5ZcHGrLJ
But it’s magical defenses were lacking and made it easier than expected to invade. At first, he was going to get in, kill Tech, and get out. But he lucked out and heard some interesting information about Louise.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe9QrUOmzV
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT8Mf6F8KX
Aeron: ‘Her value just went up. If I’m lucky, I may even be able to steal this Void Magic for myself. But first…’
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaLaGaL2F1
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y7c0XA17r
Aeron made sure to follow Tech to his room. The room was the cleanest he’s ever seen and was covered in soft shades of white and blue. Tech went to a strange capsule and taped on a panel with bumps. The capsule opened and Aeron saw his chance. While in his invisible snake form, he used a modified Ray of Sickness on Tech.

Tech slumbed forward a bit but catching himself. He shook his head before regaining his footing.

Aeron: ‘That’s one threat dealt with.’
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvFPFFQfWe
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroFeoC0g03
Aeron slithered away with a smile while Tech got into the capsule. The poison was made slow but this way, no foul play would be suspected. Tech is sickly after all.

185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5DH64bo7z
Thanks to a small A.I sphere named NAVI that emerged from the data pad, the maid trio learned much more about the world of Tech. And it was…a lot to process.

185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ3QvcI786
As for Siesta, she couldn’t help but feel some dread. This world was already so terrible to commoners like her. But after learning about Tech’s world, the world became so much more dangerous.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEu0z6u00o
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaalh2EHxA7
What if more like Tech came here and weren’t as nice as him? What would happen to her and her friends? What if one of the nobles got a hold of this power?
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFh0tWXyDt

Jake came up from behind and unlike everyone, he could see the snake making his escape.

Jake: ‘If she won’t help me, why should I?’

Jake jumps over the school walls and disappears into the coming night.

Raskreia: “Such a troublesome kid. Makes me wonder what made him this way. Sorry, everyone, maybe I made mistake. False alarm.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDFqKiysdw

Zander: “Are you sure?”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQip0ZnsxDu
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2g1U4cH7C
Raskreia: “Yep. But enough of my blunder, Flamma, got a moment to talk?”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt9qtLfv1Q
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExw4hJd4c5
Flamma: “I’m on my way to Louise, we’ll talk on the way. See you tomorrow Siesta.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGm2oKT4hY

Siesta: “Have a good night Flamma.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDNrdJ5u1T
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJw5Iwenv6
Raskreia and Flamma proceeded to leave the rest of the group behind. However, despite outwardly focusing on her conversation with Flamma, she couldn’t help but think back to what she sensed before.

It was a sight that nearly drove Louise to hurl. Hanging in the air with some sort of strands keeping her afloat was her fake.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZKiDWHJwn
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo175mayjB
She was a mangled mess but the pink hair made it clear who it was. She wanted to destroy this mockery to herself but her sad state…stayed her hand.

Bench: “If it wasn’t for the fact that you are Louise, I would have kicked you out. But I won’t tolerate you endangering…yourself.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qOZIUj3vE
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegHzyMdYNL

185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5MSSj3ElF
Bench: “I don’t have much time to explain but the short answer is I don’t know and it’s a long story. I have some ideas to explain the first one but they are unscientific. Right now, I just want to finish my repairs for today. I already wasted a day trying to get the local clinic to work for me and then transforming this shack into something manageable.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk6VTA4MIS

Louise: “…Will she be fine?”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU333EvkcTi

With nothing more to say, Louise leaves the transformed shack confused and dejected. What was really distressing was the pulling feeling she got when around her fake. As if she was being sucked into a whirlpool.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yYKIhlOAV
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3dCGode9o
The thought of giving into the sensation…terrifiedher. She wanted…no…needed to escape this feeling.

Louise: ‘Where’s Aeron when I need him? Learning a new spell should help get my mind off this…’

But instead of the dark star, the sun instead appeared before her.

Louise: “Flamma!”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoFHKtUZ9v

Louise quickly regained herself and pushed down her unexpected excitement.

Raskreia: “Oh, she got it bad huh? Understandable.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDqyQtj7xP

She whispers into Flamma’s ear.

Flamma: “Shush you.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u4GixlgHy

Flamma: “Don’t worry master, I was just learning somethings from my friends. I won’t leave your side for anything less.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjik3wNN2vu
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKpI9vwbO4
Louise: “I-I-I know. It’s only natural for a familiar to be there for their master. Now, why is she is here? Is she ready to become my familiar too?”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrLqhWZRjd

Raskreia: “Buy me dinner first and maybe I’ll think about it.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnnFSCjVaV
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5YeNuMqNL
That got Louise to fume red while Flamma giggled at how adorable Louise can be.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wOjytHTAa

Raskreia: “Don’t be like that kid, I was just learning more about Flamma. Congrats by the way.”

Raskreia: “You didn’t just bond with a dragon, but apparently one that was worshiped as a Goddess long ago. Nice job!”

In the shadows of the night, Aeron was collecting himself after his brush with failure. He wasn’t scared of a fight but he’s unsure if he could win if he was revealed at that moment.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8QgghOW8Q
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PeOV6v6fv
Raskeria alone may be his equal. That’s not even counting Zander and Flamma. But Jake is interesting…
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7K0HqNPtx
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XvbCGEHQZ
Aeron: ‘He noticed but didn’t do anything, interesting. Maybe he could be a good tool for later. Speaking of tools…’
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRdRBSDfdM
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1FYkX9P4z
He needed to step his plans up. He needed Louise firmly on his side and maybe another pawn in this game if he is to survive and win. He can’t afford to be caught now.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPriFqQZFyr
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiPNZei8qa
Luckily for him, the pieces were already in place.

Guiche is probably bitter about his lose, a perfect mind to send over the edge.

Siesta was alone and vulnerable, a useful pawn and possible ally depending on how he pulls this off.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHucvBLqVyg
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9rdr8g081
Finally, night was coming. Flamma and the other familiars should be asleep soon. It would be risky but what’s life without some form of gamble.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLW0mak6wo
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNB0gBUhV4q
Aeron casts alter self so he looks like Siesta before making his way to Guiche.
