Raskreia: “Planeswalker?”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTBaY3Voql
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvLfvLU3CP
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.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjjZEyiFFJ
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5YWV8AZxe
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMNXkCUoV1
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvMNK3dqsR
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…”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhxaploeOd
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnOq3mzK2c
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3JI7CeHAb
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfwi6VYvKO
She takes two long gulps of air before pocketing the orb and getting up.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wCDQbfeYd
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpe7tJSURE
Raskreia: “Quest accepted, whatever it is…I won’t fail.”

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN64VRHjFpF
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rNjtIu0JF
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgVVTdly9e
As for these two…
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHb8VJ6Bqr
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KVDj0r2Cq
Zander: “Considering the situation, I’ll be the one to break the news to Jake.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4mmDOcDC6
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbncLrzHkk
Flamma: “Oh yeah…he’s not going to be happy about that.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMVC2rEvNI
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPTbjtAVUF
Zander: “No…but he has to accept that fact quick. We’ll need him on our side.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUSiCMWH3A
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xhTYY0ffG
Flamma: “For what? What’s coming?”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60uEGOBsnT
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhYMn5EpHl
Zander: “I don’t know…and that worries me all the more.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0sGrDkdjt
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwk801Hbnv
Flamma watches Zander walk towards the forest but quickly turns away. She has to focus on what she should do.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKlD50ejaw
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPL6J6OjZb
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5TUepHQUx
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILk7PGIfmV
Flamma: “Who could possibly have the skill to sneak past me and Tech’s defenses? What could-”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBk4Ef9V0t
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLyL6QGsqH
Then she remember last night, when Raskreia sensed something and attacked. Was it that?
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4ZH0ZXgpX
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V4Alvdrnu
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…”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgJx436wnz
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Vvreg4prs
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbem6ZPKvaS
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9aAZug4fb
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!”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQPpN71T9w
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNra1zfRqLZ
Flamma escaped her mind and open her eyes to see Louise running to her from across the courtyard.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Sn7X4zvNb
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeQOjwUNct
Flamma: “I won’t let hem hurt you either Louise.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDuQphiDaI
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEUhGjWkyn
Flamma took a deep breath and made her way to Louise.

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD41iZFeQO

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhWrzTehc1
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttFrtCbpot
Louise: “R-Really? I-I mean, good. I’m sure Tech will recover, right now though I need you to accompany me to town.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UHoUEzNQP

Louise: “Huh?”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Kl1wpGBrr

Louise: “Hey, wait!”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zot0d4qha
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOuyP7Vkrw
Flamma pulled Louise towards the front gate and later the town. Only later did she notice that she didn’t know the way.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiXMlmnDl4
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycASbbtpr3
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG2gUjT8XI
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWLbDi1HDu
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeCYsuhQSh
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjwd2yQK9r
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CwBO6XyAM
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9skdIZdNB
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dhR4riIEU
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8hLegQPf7
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvfRgOCNtM
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJQ7DkPwUi
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7ALcHrtJI
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0iCzXyF5V
Sylphid had an urge to nuzzle him, to lick the wounds clean.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHNnaBWqzV
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIf0Jtc5Pji
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLZuYHWxYW
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSaA0jm8wY
Unknown to her however, the torture was only beginning.

Jake: “Damn it…”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgNaL5tPq0
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjeOxsiCoP
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkfdcGlnU5
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3urk21cjOb
Jake: “If…I had just died…my parents wouldn’t be…”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkfVwh0feC
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEoOf66Wqp
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5jS4hm9rD
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSHigI6d85
Jake: “If I had died…I wouldn’t be like…this…”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQC53gewcB
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcucQykr4nA
This wouldn’t be bothering him so much if there was something to do. But there’s nothing. He felt lost here.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvW9YUnWJV
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7cl9nX3ok
In New York, he had one absolute mission – destroy Blackwatch. But here…
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tmetVrSaR
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan6y5Za7VV
Jake: “There’s nothing to fight against…nothing to fight for…no anchor…”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7x7ZuH0UE
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjXyMvAZeL
Jake was brought of his thoughts when a new presence entered his field of sight.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQrUQ8Mp7M
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7I3y7T6d8
Zander: “Jake, I have…news.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT850TSGHYt
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHP73vvPMa
He looked down at Zander and for a moment, felt surprise. Zander looked…off balance.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lF0QmPY2Q
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVRMathgkq
Jake: “What could possible unnerve him of all people.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlki4WUReq
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfR4ONnXbc
He jumped down and approached the noble.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMl91jodJr
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7bR9DzGNf
Jake: “What is it?”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKPsO5A5XY
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1ewqlTX60
Zander: “…Something happened.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhCBdQQI3r
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7HFztjzDu
Jake: “Why should I care?”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJm16oVQDW
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWBdH85w8M
Zander: “It involves your…our way home.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3tcwZiqbZ
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6OAg8Bo7w
Jake: “What are you-”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeiTD7VHK5
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo4KlKHWe2
Zander: “Someone has locked this dimension, we can’t go back.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXH82GEZiW4
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJq1ta8pYs
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90dO6m2LQ4
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq1hrUuGOc
Jake: “Explain.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8H8OmRQjU
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm993AdMY5w
Zander: “Raskreia is missing and she may not be able to come back to this dimension. We’re stuck here.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl85toAEX8Z
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIwCPax6mM
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AE1etaYQG
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsYt7gV1P6
He could focus his anger on the person who locked the dimension. He could have remembered that Zander was not his opponent.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0eJH5GccE
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eUMHYhqvB
He could have done many things. But like so many times before, his anger got the best on him.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2flX5Niuy
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiLzXclO5F
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzxISpGIkJ
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsGAuZw2HB
Jake: “Wrong Answer.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiNAW7RcrT
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ArtN0g4Mv
Zander: “Don’t do this.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrNrgGJaN7
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl49G859Vvz
Rage was unreasonable and demanded bloodshed, something Jake was willing to provide.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyHwUQHeqm
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWXdJvP7Sl
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhIpbQCewe
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8trhIEfcz2
Jake charged through the pain and launched several more attacked with both clawed hands.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF222PrBBi6
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLTKr4bPMD
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFajK9xNHV
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHdtD5tcOm
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQmJYE3uKF
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfXCJwtTst
He used the branches to reach Zander in the sky. Zander held up his staff to block the overhead slash from Jake.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLuaTkH0W4
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTxngiP4hw
Zander: “Enough Jake, I don’t want to hurt you!”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6cWQDMnPZ
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7GOqEfpgO
His words fell on death ears, the answer he got instead was a heavy blow to the cheek, sending him spinning to the ground.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxczfCi28o
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ960TWpDR3M
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeBPoiwErQ
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OlgaFZOfk
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1eYpZDkNX
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jY3MCdejf
But when it finally cracked, Zander was ready. Summoning flames from the deep, he unleashed blue hell from his mouth enveloping Jake.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT0h9rkSKX
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQJdUjibQZ
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUXF51C1E2
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDGRRWwYcm
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9miuqKz4A
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNhuJfF1A5
Despite that…he kept coming.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AUCwEmb3P
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIasMIfmcK
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKGJYXAzMa
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ866eZBipRk
He didn’t see Zander anymore, he saw Mercer. He saw the monster that took his parents. He saw the bastard smirking, mocking him…
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1lFNQ0DTt
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DoQmG9icF
Jake: ‘DIE!!’
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMmMMkd7Sb
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9LSY6X4se
“Stop!!”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQLXIUlKzo
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iLom6BX6G
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?
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0xUHfQt3N
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoCUmRBvt8
But this warmth won’t heal him, he needed body mass. Jake was so tempted to eat the one before him.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mMbkpcI27
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c56hYfNV9
So tantalizingly close to consuming the one who gave him relief. It would be so easy.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4TwsgXnoD
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvfVo6fHnb
Mercer: “Do it Jake. You’re a weapon, one that will turn this world into a singular paradise. Consume, adapt, survive.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiekTsb0MYn
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zQlnM6yTS
Jake: “I…have to survive…I…”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbtRNIkZK6
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN4kFbJwAf
Tendrils snaked up the girl’s body, threatening to penetrate and force her to become one with him.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpLrSJuIHO
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA05gV9WSt
“Jake…”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rMe2cXgNZ
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX47Burd3K
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…
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ509LNjTZax
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFYbZT8FeC
His eyes now truly open to see her and she felt…familiar. That familiarly was what he needed to anchor himself.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpCXKIvXfq
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa35OtIoQH
The tendrils recede and Jake takes a step back, removing himself from the warmth of her embrace.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUIQFB6Uem
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBX1HImbBm
Zander: “Jake, are you alright?”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qI4bnMYUh
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1OiY3k0Ie
Jake: “…Yeah. I just need…a moment to process things.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw6Nu5Olhr
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFmOYsK9LJ
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX3qnqMj9W
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfhk2XY7wq
Zander: “He’s a handful. Are you alright miss…”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkSYMhML64
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvmX0uqDvr
“I’m Illococoo. Yes, I’m fine.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4lDtCU2iL
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9gJFFIe53
She says that, but Zander can see the burns. She dove into that mess regardless of the danger, all for Jake.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisZ704CJ1s
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA7A0q3Bfi
Zander: “If I didn’t cancel my spells in time…”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTg8Ar63uC
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AF3Uobs2n
Zander: “Can I escort you back to the school?”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKkRs9Q67z
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GeGsBjgyX
Illococoo: “No, I can find my own way.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3UsKAoepx
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbfSgvbno8
Before Zander can protest, she quickly left deeper into the woods as well. He can only sigh and walk back to the school.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKYW36xuM0
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEZ5BYkpmb

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.

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

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYnWAibIjX

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDcLj7RW1l
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTfmvGfANm
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…”

Aeron licks his lips in anticipation.

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDVDWTGsBm
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlyRWthc7m
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?”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5Ehfdfw3P

He was tempted to say love or some trite nonsense to seal the deal. But Aeron shrugged and told the true.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzsnvGeTHy
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfK5XYgHr4
Aeron: “Chaos.”

Siesta: “W-What?”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdsznGbij6
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhzMFjFLjL
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…”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ00tAnwEYi
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyix8X7TIgt
Aeron lifted her chin so she can look him in the eye.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMyIMmfCCv

Aeron: “You’re sexy when you’re mad.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP7Xw66Kg0
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTeHdYezhO
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc8CStLXCA

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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLik65J9h4

So he broke off the kiss.

Aeron: “I’ll take that as a yes?”

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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcdBSwW7k7
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOk6EUmzoK
But this only made Aeron laugh. First, it was a few giggles but it eventually broke into a madding glee.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ql7mOVidu

Siesta: “A-Aeron, what’s wrong?”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDq5a1aPzy

Aeron: “It seems I’m not the only one obsessed with chaos. Someone spatially locked this plane. Summoning is impossible now.”

Siesta: “What…does this mean?”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUjBRnTNCY

Man, seeing the previous chapters and their grammatically mistakes…
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuiImeDIRY

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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9BihlIJcW
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi41WtJvPkP
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.

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

Finally, for those shippers out there, thoughts on the hinted at pairings?
