Raskreia: “You don’t say? Makes me wish that I stayed.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAlgDBIpSae8
434Please respect copyright.PENANAB6KlQwqBRV
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANA8cxYYmkEdN
434Please respect copyright.PENANA6NM61PaECf
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAjs2mf3YQdL
434Please respect copyright.PENANAEL60ugZtMH
Zander: “I have a feeling things would have escalated even further if you were there.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAFj8tUdajEE
434Please respect copyright.PENANAg6g0gSTktB
Raskreia: “Ha, you’re probably right.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAG8bJMUFHug
434Please respect copyright.PENANA4r4yWVyzeM
Jake: “Alright! You’re done with the recap and learning who those 2 are. Can you help me get back home now?”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAdpfsavRutE
434Please respect copyright.PENANANPJWI5rR2n
Raskreia: “Sure kid. What’s you’re world like?”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAXOjwLkR9FU
434Please respect copyright.PENANA9plYLcZ4OS
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANARR2Kivyt6r
434Please respect copyright.PENANAmxIQZKT871
Raskreia: “Well, I didn’t expect that. Considering your powers, I was sure your world would have been some, no offensive, hellscape.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAabJu2DST8O
434Please respect copyright.PENANA8CHNbekqlv
Jake: “I’m not the norm and I didn’t…ask for these abilities.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAWnp4Q9GSlO
434Please respect copyright.PENANAzZZpv3ZWtK
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?”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAmH0n8OAASu
434Please respect copyright.PENANACbJJB4Ngpk
Jake: “…Yes.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAs7MfHU71bW
434Please respect copyright.PENANAAm0lRvZKuo
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAEx6p8gGP7c
434Please respect copyright.PENANA6XDegn8EAG
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAA8EC2Gu2fF
434Please respect copyright.PENANAnAJACZA6X0
Jake: ‘On the other hand, she could be found and killed…’
434Please respect copyright.PENANAKfql4zSW0V
434Please respect copyright.PENANABzYDW4BrCs
Jake: “Damn it…”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAFLGA056e2q
434Please respect copyright.PENANAPRJ4gOrKOD
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAK9EHoiAt3U
434Please respect copyright.PENANAHsAgPQxkw7
A strange sensation snapped Jake out of his mind. A warm and gentle feeling at his sides.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAKeDhggfG9q
434Please respect copyright.PENANAisuKX3xbQR
Raskeria: “Awwww.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAMZHsepL7Xd
434Please respect copyright.PENANAFautUitKRK
Jake looks down to see Sylphid…nuzzling him. Sylphid began purring, in an attempt to soothe Jake.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAHUmRir1ysh
434Please respect copyright.PENANAYnskXAd6Ec
Jake: “What…is this thing doing?”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAxnfF96rB0e
434Please respect copyright.PENANAnKAVa2qxeC
Raskeria: “I think she likes you.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAlVQEUovGYI
434Please respect copyright.PENANA2zKhbK2SBr
Jake: “Make it stop or I’ll make it stop.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANASrOhow9LFA
434Please respect copyright.PENANAATG76D2MVm
Zander: “Jake, Sylphid is not trying to attack you so there’s no need for that.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAjtvef8BtDe
434Please respect copyright.PENANADqBwrvpICR
Jake: “I don’t care.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAbFjtshefqp
434Please respect copyright.PENANAsL1DjsISBp
Jake got out of his chair and moved away from Sylphid. Sylphid didn’t follow but did look at Jake with…sympathy.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAEuat4VlXEs
434Please respect copyright.PENANAcZ3nQv3NGx
Jake: ‘Monsters don’t comfort and they definitely don’t need sympathy.’
434Please respect copyright.PENANAJn3UqVgOCD
434Please respect copyright.PENANARelRMNvDh4
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.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANApREsXvT4dt
434Please respect copyright.PENANAGYeqzoD0by
Jake gave a dangerous glare at Slyphid before going back into the forest.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAxCXPItyry0
434Please respect copyright.PENANAkIzdxtwlzq
Raskeria: “Tabitha, you’re dragon is cute but she might also be suicidal if she wants to cuddle up with Jake.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAlbD5W3rJ3p
434Please respect copyright.PENANALHfULjESNg
Tabitha said nothing but took the statement into consideration. Slyphid interest in Jake is definitely strange.
434Please respect copyright.PENANANFpgH5Njqo
434Please respect copyright.PENANAy9BkqDcg9B
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.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAQjhNCK4sym
434Please respect copyright.PENANAdUDYeE7xU4
Raskeria left the group and started exploring the academy. As for Zander, he still has to deal with Kirche.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAwBpctS8hLB
434Please respect copyright.PENANAyc4YEt5bzj
Kirche: “Now, where were we?”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAsMmsSWTshF
434Please respect copyright.PENANA3FyQWnTHJX
She says while pressing her best assets against Zander.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAE0lNU8zmQZ
434Please respect copyright.PENANAsiFyV1qMHp
Zander sighs before answering her.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAVW2LnqGFu3
434Please respect copyright.PENANAgv7UCgXi4P
Zander: “Miss Zerbst, I’d appreciate my arm back.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANA1njnZUAixA
434Please respect copyright.PENANA7BcFK9adh6
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAGPg2AS7Gki
434Please respect copyright.PENANADOFWPC09Q6
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.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAxYqLaSD7GZ
434Please respect copyright.PENANAw6gPGjwlMI
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.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANA5JvdafkKz1
434Please respect copyright.PENANAs1jgaa7S72
Kirche: “So you have gate spell just that woman? When will you be back?”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAb0zOlzL9RO
434Please respect copyright.PENANAxDtnKEiJwG
Zander: “I’ll be back by tomorrow. I don’t want to miss the big fight.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAeKe9o9ihZl
434Please respect copyright.PENANAAnnv3vUaWq
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANA6xNC9QvzUZ
434Please respect copyright.PENANAlh4eWdy2ro
Zander stepped through the warp, disappearing completely into murky shadows. They seemed to grow within themselves like monsters trapped beyond a mirror.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAI0tIB3aj5A
434Please respect copyright.PENANASdAEq2DiYQ
Kirche: “Haaa, Tabitha I think I’m in love.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAGFaQeRQljc
434Please respect copyright.PENANAqfFvQIC2yJ
Tech: “So you’re the one who accepted the familiar thing?”
434Please respect copyright.PENANA1CBSvqSmyM
434Please respect copyright.PENANAA2kHmddiI4
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANATldsVA3wFl

Flamma: “I have my reasons.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAWKyzRs5qBa

434Please respect copyright.PENANAAWCTKeix6r
434Please respect copyright.PENANAhLXKT5W11v
Flamma: “It’s not that bad. It’s not like I let Louise command like a dog. I’m not a masochistic.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANATl5h0dAXg9
434Please respect copyright.PENANAxErSaUihoz
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAf0XaiIQkJs
434Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5yZx8bu4f
But she is also terrified for them. If they died for her…
434Please respect copyright.PENANAghbvOr5EYM
434Please respect copyright.PENANAwPYl5TSaUC
Siesta: “You shouldn’t have done that.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAeSUEX2kKSG
434Please respect copyright.PENANAlS8eoa349r
She says softly but it still got the three to pay attention.

Dove: “Do what?”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAi36SIVbNOE

Siesta: “Accepted Guiche’s challenge! It’s too dangerous!”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAgFcDjYJiwP
434Please respect copyright.PENANA6esywtGda6
Tech: “Ha, dangerous for him maybe.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAkc2Kq89Wik

Siesta: “But…”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAShL9aOCZLC
434Please respect copyright.PENANANbK5qAgtkr
Flamma put her hand on Siesta’s shoulder and smiled softly.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAoilPNjDyCb
434Please respect copyright.PENANAgFbHHWDzn1
Flamma: “Trust us Siesta. You’ll be pleasantly surprised if you do.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAEBl61B6Rgd
434Please respect copyright.PENANAVmTtx3G9iW
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAZKU2C2d6NQ
434Please respect copyright.PENANAYltwv7JVgS
Siesta: “Okay, I trust you.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAbHfQEcBkhN

What else could she say in front of that?
434Please respect copyright.PENANA5oI47EoXZA
434Please respect copyright.PENANApmzT4yRpRu
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.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANApIVVdYuSsa

Tech: “Probably somewhere with enough room. Probably one of the courtyards.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAOx4InGxE6R
434Please respect copyright.PENANAviLrSalrhM
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.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAdCGzo43Xbg
434Please respect copyright.PENANAv2dBG9ZXK4
Tech: “Perfect. But please don’t call Guiche lord. Almost made me gag.”

Siesta: “But-”

434Please respect copyright.PENANAeECx5U5K5d

Dove: “Think nothing of it, what else are friends for.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAmgVRcJeXkZ

With that, Dove and Siesta left Tech for his final repairs.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAViqX2Pwysx
434Please respect copyright.PENANA0SSxx8FHPW
Louise would have gone crazy from the boredom and maybe anger at her double. But her thoughts were on what her familiar told her.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAXEb98zpiul
434Please respect copyright.PENANAqOHdCGp5Vw
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.’
434Please respect copyright.PENANArIKgX4Xy5V
434Please respect copyright.PENANARFmWWnfKtD
Louise laid down after eating her food delivered by her familiar and a maid. But she still barely had the energy to move.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAAA7mofxXFp
434Please respect copyright.PENANA2GOAQ0iNiH
Louise: “Argh! When I get my hands on that faker, I’ll tear her apart! I hate being stuck like this!”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAOFHsY5nZNS
434Please respect copyright.PENANAUHzUhuh4gO
“Do you need sssome asssissstance massster?”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAlKfQCyTMVM
434Please respect copyright.PENANAdz8k1rAZCs
Louise: “Who’s there!? Familiar?”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAnZUQap8Q3s
434Please respect copyright.PENANAlXHBTMNz22
“Ooooone of theeem.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAClZl69V4NV
434Please respect copyright.PENANA0LLDmhKHpI
A white snake slithered out of the darkness of the room and raised it’s head so Louise can see it.
434Please respect copyright.PENANABdtBDbZL0K
434Please respect copyright.PENANAhGzFWtJGc9
Louise: “Are you…like that dragon? How can you talk?”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAoGZXs5Y85N
434Please respect copyright.PENANAkPhErMoKid
“My former masssster taught me to ssspeak.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAy7C9zYatqP
434Please respect copyright.PENANA10iUxzOv4n
Louise: “You were someone’s familiar before?”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAHBKRyX0vlK

“Oh yesss. I sssserved a mossst powerful wizard.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANApC39XcPXv6
434Please respect copyright.PENANA33k17hiLQh
Louise: “Great, so I stole a familiar from a noble…”
434Please respect copyright.PENANA6R43zAnbnC
434Please respect copyright.PENANAx5OG68dDI0
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…’
434Please respect copyright.PENANAqCCYZiY2VO
434Please respect copyright.PENANA4STcSfYLZ3
“Dooont’ worrrry, my masssster died a long time ago.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAN0T875STt6
434Please respect copyright.PENANAFNXK0gWcqf
That put some hope in Louise’s eyes. Maybe she can make this snake her familiar. Much better than that commoner.
434Please respect copyright.PENANA5GnTmqWT95
434Please respect copyright.PENANAU8S9X4nkRY
Louise: “Then…will be my familiar?”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAksA90bTusX
434Please respect copyright.PENANAqE6koNRHUu
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANA9xRXmZP8rV
434Please respect copyright.PENANA7AWVa4bawt
“Do you haaaave the streength?”
434Please respect copyright.PENANA04D9Fkuw9z
434Please respect copyright.PENANARFsIVxMUV3
Louise: “Always! Just bring me my wand and come to me and I can do it.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAkB8y9tAPaZ

Louise: “I…don’t know for sure. But since I summoned you all, it should work.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAOSvHFrEdJn
434Please respect copyright.PENANAAXY2kAgoEj
What seemed like a smirk flashed on the snake’s face.
434Please respect copyright.PENANA4n3YwaCqaG
434Please respect copyright.PENANAbqxHFMiBeJ
“Theeen yeees, I’ll beee your faaamiliar.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAxh0IPRSyYw

Aeoron: “My naaame is Aeron, my soooon to be master.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAD5ugswRNgs
434Please respect copyright.PENANAzSB5VtHwCz
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAECJyjUhclJ
434Please respect copyright.PENANA3RY6noSuRr
Louise: “Be grateful, you’re the second of my familiars. I will conquer the rest and then…”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAIcKB95jlal
434Please respect copyright.PENANApp7lCbxQHK
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.’
434Please respect copyright.PENANAqS3oPmPbuB
434Please respect copyright.PENANAvLEBzNzXJ7
Louise smiled and placed her wand on the snake’s forehead before chanting.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAdL8olY0hYT
434Please respect copyright.PENANAo8Z4bGXVjw
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.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANA6rSew2vCAE
434Please respect copyright.PENANA4vsKH766h5
After chanting, she removed her wand from his forehead and stretched forward to kiss him.
434Please respect copyright.PENANA2jtE8I8L82
434Please respect copyright.PENANAfW38FG8qqx
After a few moments, a new and different brand appears on the snake.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAkHLJHhIABB
434Please respect copyright.PENANAjVnvX7toQr
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.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAmy0YOB3Mw9
434Please respect copyright.PENANAfL501UZhAQ
Louise expected to fall right to sleep after performing another ritual, but instead, she feels fine. Better than fine actually. Almost normal.
434Please respect copyright.PENANA89UX3IYXcm
434Please respect copyright.PENANAvwG6EDvLfa
Louise: “I thought I would be tired after that.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANACCAgVjuxIC
434Please respect copyright.PENANAmSSyIR8A1Y
Aeron: “I took the liberty to heal you of your affliction using a spell.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAL60f08Q78A
434Please respect copyright.PENANAPD3tAvNiI3
Louise: “Really? Wait, what do you even know about magic, you're just a familiar."
434Please respect copyright.PENANAGZBK9VOB3s
434Please respect copyright.PENANAVGGuVdB5vg
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."
434Please respect copyright.PENANAyrbqk7pCm1
434Please respect copyright.PENANAXsNdLzp77F
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…
434Please respect copyright.PENANAiYbxaIjI1Z
434Please respect copyright.PENANAtI4rQI8Ub8
Louise: "HOW DARE YOU!"
434Please respect copyright.PENANA6fr0cStDAt

434Please respect copyright.PENANAQJSB2qFlft

Aeron: “…Baleful Polymorph."
434Please respect copyright.PENANAaf8r5c7Nql
434Please respect copyright.PENANAfjvoO7JSbB
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANArbVfyaFxpV
434Please respect copyright.PENANAUpddzayUCL
Aeron: "Ah, you're still awake, perfect"
434Please respect copyright.PENANAOlggTfiCUa
434Please respect copyright.PENANAFofCYRxbS6
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAv6vQm2K0pM

Louise: "W-What happened?"
434Please respect copyright.PENANAz2eYSr47eZ
434Please respect copyright.PENANAwELgDroXng
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANA3qgEvE7B9N
434Please respect copyright.PENANAqYLCuhuQfQ
Where she was supposed to be, was now a toad standing beside Aeron. She would have screamed but only more strange noises emerged.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAWnd8lT3Syu
434Please respect copyright.PENANALYMpMmIa2T
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.’
434Please respect copyright.PENANA9KLGu1jfpg
434Please respect copyright.PENANABK6qae0dw8
Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard Aeron laugh.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAqHnDUPVnog
434Please respect copyright.PENANArxzu7jOpM2
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."
434Please respect copyright.PENANAhVaF88PYU2
434Please respect copyright.PENANAdf5C4bOCng
Louise: ‘Why?!’
434Please respect copyright.PENANA1wfx4C432q
434Please respect copyright.PENANAhj7VuV259r
She tries to ask with her mouth but only animals escape it.
434Please respect copyright.PENANA212iXeBsFh
434Please respect copyright.PENANAtWrJKGPru5
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.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAVurakrHMb8
434Please respect copyright.PENANAD9cMo1LyZ1
Louise: ‘I will learn! I will learn! Please just turn me back!’
434Please respect copyright.PENANArgROvtgZL2
434Please respect copyright.PENANAEjY1rWiUl1
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."
434Please respect copyright.PENANAKwiqubwxlk
434Please respect copyright.PENANA9A9hW3Z2Kh
Louise: ‘I command you to turn me back familiar!’
434Please respect copyright.PENANA9Jlh7NCRSb
434Please respect copyright.PENANAMDisc7SQXQ
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?"
434Please respect copyright.PENANANhL0ZDeJS3
434Please respect copyright.PENANAiyrg8nYXhk
Louise: ‘Because...you're my familiar?’
434Please respect copyright.PENANABceyCBiiYH
434Please respect copyright.PENANAfjNTmHT6Eb
Aeron: "Goodbye little one"
434Please respect copyright.PENANAFwHBI63DNu
434Please respect copyright.PENANAc4Xq4ksgVX
Aeron changed his shape back into his human form and started to meld into the shadow of the room.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAuP44rCFdb8
434Please respect copyright.PENANAQYWfTglNPe
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?
434Please respect copyright.PENANAYDm9tnGjcO
434Please respect copyright.PENANAZjdVrGePMl
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?’
434Please respect copyright.PENANACGNUd7dfmx
434Please respect copyright.PENANAgq4DJV76nQ
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAhVVdL1r8Pe
434Please respect copyright.PENANAN4N5w8CjVW
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAimP2zkEEWp
434Please respect copyright.PENANAArP85yzSRx
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANACVgDneCp5a
434Please respect copyright.PENANADs3NNedP31
Before despair fully broke her, she heard laughter coming from the darkness that surrounded her.
434Please respect copyright.PENANATG1xRrZI3A
434Please respect copyright.PENANAVYfOg6FKWC
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."
434Please respect copyright.PENANADVSuoSPRb4
434Please respect copyright.PENANA7jLAdBJZhf
Aeron emerged from the shadows and snapped his fingers.Louise found herself back on the bed, looking at her hands.
434Please respect copyright.PENANA6Fzw4TW0WJ
434Please respect copyright.PENANAgTUvNNttvI
Louise: ‘I’m…back.’
434Please respect copyright.PENANAfZbpNy2tPj
434Please respect copyright.PENANAMyfMZjvbjk
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…
434Please respect copyright.PENANAxe0LlEyB86
434Please respect copyright.PENANAjQmey0OAdc
After she got a hold of herself, she spotted Aeron, not as a snake but as a human.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAy9zzcLGmGz
434Please respect copyright.PENANAiLX0pviWHp
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?
434Please respect copyright.PENANAhC62otMTUn
434Please respect copyright.PENANAWBjxWaPoWL
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAQq1yklPEPx
434Please respect copyright.PENANA3nVGCCF00c
Louise: "So, w-why can you use magic? A-Are you a noble?"
434Please respect copyright.PENANAoCIrh01E4i
434Please respect copyright.PENANAsdkbwm6QSl
Chuckling Aeron seated himself in one of the chairs in the room.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAWe8ugxO6hh
434Please respect copyright.PENANAXj6N4H5126
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."
434Please respect copyright.PENANAQ28gx8Uw84
434Please respect copyright.PENANAVUVOMBdb2l
Louise: "But how? Nobility comes from magic. Unless…you’re not from this world. Just like the others.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAyQb7rcTYKs
434Please respect copyright.PENANAGBysvF9M28
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.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAgCePGtfppH
434Please respect copyright.PENANAnmJmtmWdsJ
Aeron: “Now, back to teaching you magic. First, let go of the wand. You won’t need it for my magic.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAh7ZCvInZQV
434Please respect copyright.PENANAJqIW3BEclw
Louise: “So you’ll be teaching me what that Raskeria girl did.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANA49Ij2TVOSm
434Please respect copyright.PENANAAxCcHGpuqX
Aeron: “…Something like that.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANANsTmU8w7Ey
434Please respect copyright.PENANAExQ5Dsl1SS
Louise: “Can I…really do that? I’m not from your world.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAXSul4jCuGt
434Please respect copyright.PENANApoGhFr4IWH
Aeron: “Trust me. Unless…you want to be a Zero all your life.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAqzuyLKBY3c
434Please respect copyright.PENANAq3UQ9hKdGH
Louise: “NO!”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAs1bvtbzbyT
434Please respect copyright.PENANALs0uCyP3hc
Aeron: “Then let go of the wand.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAdO0W26zRVa
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAdGc6P8pgGJ
434Please respect copyright.PENANAPkGuYCXUfs
Aeron then proceeded to crush it underfoot, sending its pieces across the floor. That part of her life…is now dead.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAOGDJeQAzYq
434Please respect copyright.PENANAA7bfVjYjXw
Aeron: “When I’m done, you’ll be able to do that binding ritual with a finger. Now…”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAXHJkrfXXCh
434Please respect copyright.PENANAySMsjmGj3N
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANA3lrkiU5D5p
434Please respect copyright.PENANAbpd5LEIAX8
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAZAyc6QLyeF
434Please respect copyright.PENANA4VeKtYw1DU
Louise: "Whats this?"
434Please respect copyright.PENANA2Dod1gI6bJ
434Please respect copyright.PENANAkaGgZJg3iT
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."
434Please respect copyright.PENANA5RD2Hnje6p
434Please respect copyright.PENANAjOk9E4vSyE
Louise: "...I...can't read these runes."
434Please respect copyright.PENANAAcA0NsCtDk
434Please respect copyright.PENANAZwhkuzERE9
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAWwaRp8wGGr
434Please respect copyright.PENANA2DKYC9dHvr
Aeron smirked behind his mask.
434Please respect copyright.PENANA71njpkjfz0
434Please respect copyright.PENANAcTm1Bn1BOV
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."
434Please respect copyright.PENANAOfwfXhRzKA
434Please respect copyright.PENANAKMbvCYowOz
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAclyGV7IdDx
434Please respect copyright.PENANAuTkfc23VZB
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."
434Please respect copyright.PENANArKRx2BvIvu
434Please respect copyright.PENANAP9oLZ8nadR
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAuUEWQi7Pe6
434Please respect copyright.PENANAv4evAebIs6
Aeron looked blankly at her before continuing on.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAZj4OFV6rAy
434Please respect copyright.PENANAefeN93ycfX
Aeron: "Okay, how long have you studied magic?"
434Please respect copyright.PENANAWgO0yxNuua
434Please respect copyright.PENANAu2dXufaLBD
Louise: "Since I could lift a wand. I am a noble after all"
434Please respect copyright.PENANA8VgV3Qsm51
434Please respect copyright.PENANAXzkOX10eea
Aeron: "Very well, I will show you the spell and you pay attention"
434Please respect copyright.PENANAtkWowVovpJ
434Please respect copyright.PENANAR6L7tpZ0vz
He spoke so she could understand him easily and memorize it.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAflyGzpjE6q
434Please respect copyright.PENANAUGLFlZHeHD
Aeron: "Silent Image."
434Please respect copyright.PENANAsaMHCYTue7
434Please respect copyright.PENANAqUCUHrGkeV
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAOafsOrjkP0
434Please respect copyright.PENANA1eFTDRfQAa
Aeron: "Have you memorized the incantation?"
434Please respect copyright.PENANARi0Cr8JrC7
434Please respect copyright.PENANAPcgEimP5Wz
Louise nodded.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAUlDDvMyn8i
434Please respect copyright.PENANAedxE4by070
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."
434Please respect copyright.PENANA7GO6WfZhia
434Please respect copyright.PENANAQaKLdUfM0D
The girl nodded again and closed her eyes. After a few minutes of testing the spell in her thoughts, she took a deep breath.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAwBd6gSreek
434Please respect copyright.PENANA1DSJ1hiweg
She opened her eyes and focused her mind on the spell, moving her delicate fingers she spoke.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAcNZssGU4KF
434Please respect copyright.PENANAXCB8UlgAgB
Louise: "Silent Image!"
434Please respect copyright.PENANAmq4LCc29NT
434Please respect copyright.PENANAaJrrzKpvpS
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAihLSR2rvvg
434Please respect copyright.PENANAhZfzxapAA6
Louise: “I did it…I cast…a spell…”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAp8RXLaWB40
434Please respect copyright.PENANAVMzE1jzA3k
She continued to sob as Aeron rolled his eyes. But that roll instantly turned into a gaze of alertness.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAbk1D7LJy9v
434Please respect copyright.PENANA3bhokzn7mz
Aeron: ‘Seems like the fun is over for now.’
434Please respect copyright.PENANAb2p1ygJ85e
434Please respect copyright.PENANA7AJeYD4I9l
Aeron got up and dispelled the illusion of Flamma.
434Please respect copyright.PENANA5nSvszsaV8
434Please respect copyright.PENANAGC6E4Ld7D5
Aeron: “Louise, I need you to keep what we’re learning from the other familiars and even the teachers and students..”
434Please respect copyright.PENANANlrB74F6z0
434Please respect copyright.PENANADC9Y9O1aDp
Louise wiped away her tears and turned to her true teacher.
434Please respect copyright.PENANA8IDtNWmEDz
434Please respect copyright.PENANAfvBMFQRIxk
Louise: “But why?”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAx3aNUjeort
434Please respect copyright.PENANAPy8L5hEUwn
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.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAvnrOIxU5Z9
434Please respect copyright.PENANAX1r3TJoh5h
Louise: “I guess…that makes sense.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAtjPbyNWYrl
434Please respect copyright.PENANAR3lAJyJJuH
Louise: ‘Shame, I did want to brag to Flamma.’
434Please respect copyright.PENANAzB813il5r1
434Please respect copyright.PENANAZrYT6LAwNH
Louise: “But why not the teachers and students?”
434Please respect copyright.PENANA9xcgsyVBTG
434Please respect copyright.PENANAnhUgfeMsQa
Aeron: “Similar reasons. This magic is beyond them. Wouldn’t want them to, I don’t know, ban me from teaching you.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANA70omJB31ab
434Please respect copyright.PENANA5tRpkUBR2l
Louise: “I won’t let that happen!”
434Please respect copyright.PENANASHXpW7HxYA
434Please respect copyright.PENANAyFF3Ccprh8
Aeron: “Good. Now, I’ll see you later. When you’re alone once again.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANA6QCcYGrAxY
434Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9UXSVOwQn
With that, Aeron faded into the darkness of the room. Just in time for the door to open, revealing Flamma.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAWe8P8iu2Ce
434Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9l25OAwjX
Flamma: “Hey Louise wait until I…are you crying?”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAlFR0HlbkSh
434Please respect copyright.PENANAMVtSON1kjj
Flamma knelt beside Louise and looked at her with worry.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAFLqERtlusp
434Please respect copyright.PENANAl2v5g62Jbw
Louise: “No, I just had something in my eye.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAfJRqeCiFwR
434Please respect copyright.PENANAJx4xn9Fjct
Flamma: “Are you sure? Nothing happened while I was gone right?”
434Please respect copyright.PENANA6wARJsJXSt
434Please respect copyright.PENANAXHIVmF2NDW
Louise: “No, I’m fine Flamma.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAaiRXKddvV7
434Please respect copyright.PENANA5d5fLKwLLi
Flamma: “Oh, no familiar. What did I do to deserve this treatment?”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAqg0hSojv9l
434Please respect copyright.PENANA07NgcmYNn0
Louise: “Hmph, you’re still my familiar. But you also have a name. It’s also much easier to say than familiar.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANATrhZga2Mx8
434Please respect copyright.PENANA04yRZ9WvKT
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.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAWYZGowSIAY
434Please respect copyright.PENANAXU9JdIv6wY
Louise: “Something else happened?”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAozNkZ7Utuj
434Please respect copyright.PENANAFvY33ZASnU
Flamma: “You know it. You summoned some interesting characters.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAiv7kddkqfO
434Please respect copyright.PENANAWPH6xVeeva
As Flamma began to retell the events of the day, Louise couldn’t help but softly smile. Her life was really looking up.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAyJq8w3i773
434Please respect copyright.PENANAmeI6no1sBA
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAXTFh8WuUom
434Please respect copyright.PENANAsFVEOiFIMb
Tech: ‘And thanks to subspace technology, it can all fit in a small space and leave lots of room. I love science.’
434Please respect copyright.PENANAEWS2UcSGXO
434Please respect copyright.PENANAhJXm9NoLtP
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANApa2GzvD8JW
434Please respect copyright.PENANAKGzUPCz5mP
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAX6l2yPKrQ1
434Please respect copyright.PENANAI80M3MadGN
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANA4iCvpLPoMa
434Please respect copyright.PENANAkMATZvxU3N
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAfCzSfNPEBS
434Please respect copyright.PENANAQ79Teco6TI
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAFAeCY29Lna
434Please respect copyright.PENANAvXpuI8pxd2
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAQ89DNQVFfn
434Please respect copyright.PENANARINY1Qe59s
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANA0djfwi28jl
434Please respect copyright.PENANANfseYIe2H3
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANARjCPbuvJxE
434Please respect copyright.PENANAlNS37KMCeH
The inside was 200 feet and had 20 doors leading to 15ft living rooms, 12ft bedrooms, two different shower rooms, and a 10ft kitchen.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAxVbtJdzgaL
434Please respect copyright.PENANACkHmtzmbvz
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.

434Please respect copyright.PENANAkTSPyGa0nQ
Dove: “The Deep Elves and they were the most advanced race on Nirn. Their machines still exist to this day.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANA4STsXPvc99
434Please respect copyright.PENANAMzXFGK6xAc
Tech: “Were? Oh, let me guess. They blew themselves up to kingdom come.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANANJSALJa2Zg
434Please respect copyright.PENANANVpwq4eLRm
Dove: “More like messed with the heart of a god and thus erased their entire race from existence in an instant.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAnRX22w9P3y
434Please respect copyright.PENANA1JqviGY79u
Tech: “…Okay, didn’t expect that. I’m assuming this was thousands of years ago.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAg7ztx8qH6k
434Please respect copyright.PENANAQeN9h7E3aX
Dove: “Before you say it’s an exaggeration, don’t. It wasn’t that long ago and some elves do remember what happened.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAafutG92f7Y
434Please respect copyright.PENANAxtZP8mXwNl
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!”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAnsTzXapdTV
434Please respect copyright.PENANAXssiMgsDjS
Dove: “The multiverse is a crazy and mysterious place. But enough about that, can I come in?”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAaf9WPExkxJ
434Please respect copyright.PENANA5wKDohuzrH
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAwlWm8VTuCo
434Please respect copyright.PENANAzHW249Ms6a
When it did, it brought the due to Tech’s lab. He breathed in the air in it and sighed in joy.
434Please respect copyright.PENANA4NFhjCrRff
434Please respect copyright.PENANAdtJ4fH53w6
Tech: "Thank you lord for filtered air!"
434Please respect copyright.PENANAj2PO8OKdPQ
434Please respect copyright.PENANAlEJkLOXUER
Dove: “This place feel…weird.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANA074orDjYFf
434Please respect copyright.PENANALduTFYR4jm
Tech: “That’s super clean air for you. Breathe it in and enjoy.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAxbGLydvK2V
434Please respect copyright.PENANAhLjKHiiRIh
Tech practically skipped to his most beloved thing, something he dearly missed. The TTACCOA or The Totally Awesome Command Chair Of Awesomeness.
434Please respect copyright.PENANApLRgYQiTrY
434Please respect copyright.PENANARlQl1pdQAC
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANANrgZThl81A
434Please respect copyright.PENANAGKBF4csUP8
Dove: “You look like you’re having fun.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANA9JpzsTNg4Q
434Please respect copyright.PENANASL5nbDBr5S
Tech: “This is my happy place.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAyezDUm1M1t
434Please respect copyright.PENANAmknP1nwNWU
Dove: “A chair?”
434Please respect copyright.PENANA6E0bSPpxSn
434Please respect copyright.PENANA39xfr4dbiM
Tech: “The most awesome chair you’ll ever see! Because I don’t want you sitting in it. This baby is all for me.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAPh20UyqnPp
434Please respect copyright.PENANANgGx3DvnVF
Dove: “Don’t worry, I won’t touch your…baby.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAE9R0bCvtnQ
434Please respect copyright.PENANAXau1zr1708
Tech: “Good, because I sadly have to leave it. I need a Nano-Bath to further repair my body for the work ahead.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAxaG1DdSYNs
434Please respect copyright.PENANAN5Z7cuZPO1
Dove: “You know, I do healing magic so-”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAfNCM3HBJ0f
434Please respect copyright.PENANAwShA9xTIYa
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.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAYnEwcAuP7p
434Please respect copyright.PENANARQbmKoz6yj
Dove sighed before letting Tech have his way. He’s definitely the most interesting and strangest of the familiars summoned.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAuwsSBZoc93
434Please respect copyright.PENANAawGMfZIeJ6
Tech: “Feel to look around and marvel. There will be signs to show you around.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAtzfGPR3XJk
434Please respect copyright.PENANA2mwblPyZak
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANA3bMEqVUtsU
434Please respect copyright.PENANAGNNtCz0oxX
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAUopsm6eIpH
434Please respect copyright.PENANAWWZCB95YSu
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.’
434Please respect copyright.PENANAAthNVmf8Wa
434Please respect copyright.PENANAes5oceunwR
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAPXf4wjKCNk
434Please respect copyright.PENANAv9YZhIo5Cf
“What the hell is this?!”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAcQTCIu9BxY
434Please respect copyright.PENANAuwAWiDEgle
Dove: “Who’s there?!”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAFh17RrwulE
434Please respect copyright.PENANADwMEtbYkDZ
Dove said while looking around for any possible enemy.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAde2dFqVjWC
434Please respect copyright.PENANAmgTtjXBvLP
Tech: “It’s a sound transmission from outside Dove, no one is attacking.’
434Please respect copyright.PENANAkb1oi6DSH6
434Please respect copyright.PENANA1BFICs7sCz
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAbBVWceplrU
434Please respect copyright.PENANA0857qWup78
Standing outside is Raskreia who is looking at the screen with an interested look.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAWphY3bC3DW
434Please respect copyright.PENANA7AhUZYSttU
Raskreia: “Oh, I get it. Okay, who built this? I swear it wasn’t the last time I checked.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAU32o4O8DTg
434Please respect copyright.PENANA9JFTelLCOF
Tech: “One of us?”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAUs7ockBSJn
434Please respect copyright.PENANAXoC0lTObHW
Dove: “Yeah, the one who can use the gate spell to go back home. She’s currently helping Jake first.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAzcUegaLd7R
434Please respect copyright.PENANAGG8n2ZJlIT
Tech: “Really? I was sure she tricked everyone and left on her own. Well, let’s go greet her.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAOusQlsRxap
434Please respect copyright.PENANAKp4mtwRGTH
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAAfIaRrT8NV
434Please respect copyright.PENANAHrRcYUIu1H
Raskreia: “Whoa, aren’t that sick kid from back then?”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAEoK7eTyd97
434Please respect copyright.PENANAaqg7zkP7Y1
Tech: “Yeah, I got better.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAAvRKA57gl4
434Please respect copyright.PENANA3zx2ZypGgU
Raskreia: “I see, and who is this?”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAlu9Dna2Jta
434Please respect copyright.PENANApdCSbvxqEs
Dove: “I’m Dovahkiin. Call me Dove when I’m in this form.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAj77JqhQyxH
434Please respect copyright.PENANAtjs8tyW4ZK
Raskreia: “No way, really? Zander didn’t mention that. Does that mean you’re undercover or something?”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAImBYCEDu5B
434Please respect copyright.PENANAg1E3jsf3bg
Dove: “Something like that, I’ll tell you on the way. Come in.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAAvmscKcAck
434Please respect copyright.PENANACkFhmbOsQe
Tech: “You know, it should be me inviting her in. This is my base after all.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAjZZ7nA8JqT
434Please respect copyright.PENANAl2VgcsZVzQ
Dove: “Can she come in?”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAewOof7Licf
434Please respect copyright.PENANA6OxpsvqSfp
Tech: “I didn’t say she couldn’t. Just…come on.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAzPBQAee7wK
434Please respect copyright.PENANAAh78Ie4m3e
The trio went back inside and headed toward the lab. Dove filled Rask in on their situation.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAghCOAaneXx
434Please respect copyright.PENANAzT4gmCabfM
Raskreia: “Wow, I probably shouldn’t leave then. The next time I come back, the entire country might be in flames.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAGsMwlhaLPc
434Please respect copyright.PENANA9fJbv2kfu3
Raskreia: ‘I probably shouldn’t reveal my true form either. These people would go nuts!’
434Please respect copyright.PENANAX0g2IId0Lt
434Please respect copyright.PENANAEo62zMuhhr
Dove: “No need to worry about that, I wouldn’t let it happen. I have a 100% success rate in saving the world.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAyDzt1J9wp5
434Please respect copyright.PENANAJVvhhgmq4W
Tech: “Well, since you’re here make yourself a home and marvel at my creations. It’s going to get even more amazing tomorrow.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAk8Iwn1o8hb
434Please respect copyright.PENANA9J0wkE5jK3
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.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANA8JtlKFK6jc
434Please respect copyright.PENANAcbzDVZwJbT
Tech: “Oh don’t worry, I have systems in place in case you’re feeling suicidal.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAYjoGndxSmP
434Please respect copyright.PENANAMXasPFLZct
Raskreia: “Ha, I like you kid. I’ll think stick around then.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANA86pyu2kunZ
434Please respect copyright.PENANAPJltr4Tvg6
Tech: “Fine, pick a room and-”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAGQWIhKfXiC
434Please respect copyright.PENANAbj0LymSp3X
Dove: “Speaking of, can we customize them? They are kind of plain as is.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAALQSmYX8JK
434Please respect copyright.PENANAW9M4As4eAF
Tech: “Easy, but can we save it for tomorrow? Even I need rest.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAyLCi6uWDWo
434Please respect copyright.PENANAescnPApy5s
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.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANA7u2MdOrZ1F
434Please respect copyright.PENANAn4CcUUTqA5
Raskreia: “That must suck. You’ll probably have to sleep on the roof then.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAkLkkKibKBQ
434Please respect copyright.PENANAtH3oGQstzY
Dove: “I’m sure it won’t be so bad.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANABSiXigm3cF
434Please respect copyright.PENANA1cQ93U7RRQ
Dove: ‘Great, just when I found an actual bed to sleep in…’
434Please respect copyright.PENANASEIOELOfJA
434Please respect copyright.PENANAIBFt6r4VAP
Tech: “I’m actually curious about your dragon form. I’ll walk out with you when you’re ready.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAP9p09l97zT
434Please respect copyright.PENANArIyLZPCBoO
Dove: “Alright.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAuuBqSt3R3A
434Please respect copyright.PENANA09Mz86fz0r
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANA25m3muhOmv
434Please respect copyright.PENANA0GB4G6kjnZ
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.
434Please respect copyright.PENANAwb4cAw94wM
434Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6c96RvstX
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.”
434Please respect copyright.PENANAcZwbQEMGhy
434Please respect copyright.PENANAXlk6C2wz6P
With that, Tech went back into his lab to finish a few preparations for tomorrow. And then finally getting a good night’s sleep.
