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.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHqrPICqgT

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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhbLxQCXGF

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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE7A53O3Uj
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJyGV9nYaJ

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv9L11uKHl
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZOgvYYG6Y

Tech: “And getting branded like an animal, I might add.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMKQiXqukB
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgikDZoAVSm
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgKayPe50c
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHY5WwyOOz
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iXp3PPVkT
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTwS088X6u

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq3yvSp0gZ
Siesta: “N-Not much but I’ve heard that it’s the lost fifth element, far more powerful than the rest and related to the Founder Brimir. Are you saying-”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlF9uwr4qF
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEAuznp4RJ
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.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz0laiBBlK
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVnVKo1WF0
Dove: “Y-You’re surely joking.”

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8dCFCRMIl

Dove: “I’d rather a sword.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N6Js70jY0
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YtXqJ3TZz
Before Flamma can quip herself, a thin sheet of harden light shot out from the side of the rod.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRaOrK5YOr
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMmZDOIBSg

Siesta: “How do we use this?”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7jiw1hKbu
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkgQo0MmLi
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50cJzFKfb9
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBMtHIwxww
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcrW5XxQG8
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXr37IJjMk
Aeron: ‘Her value just went up. If I’m lucky, I may even be able to steal this Void Magic for myself. But first…’
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79CDMEwC7q
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHBBUchJtx
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb75cIZc2ZX

Tech slumbed forward a bit but catching himself. He shook his head before regaining his footing.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVkR2Pcscb

Tech: “Whoa, I might need this more than I thought.”

Aeron: ‘That’s one threat dealt with.’
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdT6icxj5R
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ212acw6tbE
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEUM3amZYv
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0qI5bln6S
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK88w78NYSo
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoJydkvYKg
Siesta: “Tech’s world is scary…”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzukskJn8g
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWR2nKRQPz
Flamma: “I’m more surprised that Tech was sick like this his whole life. For him to then spit in destiny’s face and still succeed at life is badass. Even becoming whatever a CEO of Innovation Industries is sounds impressive.”

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26TeqqlZyI
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA9dpAGhNF
Flamma: “A bit, but I doubt Tech can bring all of that to bear. Besides, you fought that Ravager and these things are comparable. I’m not worried.”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtV8UaE7Qv
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SMSlP5XZo
Dove: ‘I wouldn’t want to fight hundreds of them though.’
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62AJoVstsJ
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxGJG8PUcO
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthWZG0I8U6
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXeUy58dic
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?
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtDQ3qjGhp
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YcHi7QZ39
So many scenarios raced through her mind and it only worsen her feelings of helplessness. She trusted her dear friends but…

Raskreia got up and ran to the duo while waving her hands. But something flashed in the corner of her vision. By instinct, she raised her finger and used Fire Bolt on whatever she sensed.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABd7OCnRwy

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.”

Zander: “Are you sure?”

Raskreia: “Yep. But enough of my blunder, Flamma, got a moment to talk?”
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsIcnTmALR

Flamma: “I’m on my way to Louise, we’ll talk on the way. See you tomorrow Siesta.”

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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAfrt8a9x9
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w5PluIpFl
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: “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.”

Louise: “…Will she be fine?”

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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA8rCVth4n
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiEfbEDVA5
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 quickly regained herself and pushed down her unexpected excitement.

She whispers into Flamma’s ear.

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaFIZwhJdo
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbzlNvp8BA
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?”

184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPf5qM6q9w

That got Louise to fume red while Flamma giggled at how adorable Louise can be.

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

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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRFnf2HN9n
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B26uU3Lga
Raskeria alone may be his equal. That’s not even counting Zander and Flamma. But Jake is interesting…
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfAqqDDxEY
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBCO7ztyPI
Aeron: ‘He noticed but didn’t do anything, interesting. Maybe he could be a good tool for later. Speaking of tools…’

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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3eRGfdmgo
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmksEqfZwJx
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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ49P4fW8mu

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.
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJAYvRrGxL
184Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr1PXqGI57
Aeron casts alter self so he looks like Siesta before making his way to Guiche.
