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.

Dove: “You sure you’re not a Dwemer?”

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMA1n90mls
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YHaGTuoel

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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx03IYYrrVR

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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqku5fQgEk7
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2JzpZbbPD

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuWaUX660y
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgbj7ulN8m

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRla68x8Oeg
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyCC2V3O7J
Dove: “Does this have something to do with why you decided to be Louise’s familiar?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlWGJe5eVw

Tech: “And getting branded like an animal, I might add.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJO6iNxz4K
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEFpgN7Ser
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnyefhGDxy
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZwTNVk6hd
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp01DRaCId
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVGGAaPCLI

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EJ6q8IqAY
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfUoZWUg14

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWiCXGIDIR
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln88G11kGq
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHGitLiI2M
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgCDSSTlW2
Dove: “Y-You’re surely joking.”

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRDtvDl1d0

Tech hands the three of them a steel rod with a blue slit down the center.

Dove: “I’d rather a sword.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKgzUV6jzs

Before Flamma can quip herself, a thin sheet of harden light shot out from the side of the rod.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRdLiaMjij
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjfD27NFIz
Tech: “Information is the most powerful tool at our disposal, don’t waste it.”

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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBmwzwd3ho
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuRlomcF31
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6p761Rn4n
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyF2aalVkX
Aeron: ‘Her value just went up. If I’m lucky, I may even be able to steal this Void Magic for myself. But first…’
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76LDDslQZI
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUgyJoIBQe
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbpS5voern

Tech slumbed forward a bit but catching himself. He shook his head before regaining his footing.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a11I55Fli

Aeron: ‘That’s one threat dealt with.’
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCYC3Rftax
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgpYwky0Ma
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkC7Y5wtr0
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP50zKj8FI
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dlfxaCCjV
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwusOVCU98
Siesta: “Tech’s world is scary…”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk0n9kKM0m
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UQDlCET2M
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.”

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9s0pVqKfx
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBISCIcRqQ
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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eDaccf3eZ
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZhfC7zVqP

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gY9MVCEY1
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM4TZohJpr
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uPCsFWyTO
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM1gsHlnRp
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?
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuVsCV87ws
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilY5ZJCuFm
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQex4igACYQ

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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlxsuYpMup

Zander: “Are you sure?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNYdGThNWJ
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRkJVfv0Cc
Raskreia: “Yep. But enough of my blunder, Flamma, got a moment to talk?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveG3tKgeyC
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWXMLCsSaA
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhxDEhmqCF
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz55PZKm9E8
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.

104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkWvXiBvBB

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.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQKFES5uuv

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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOL9Ulu3Tf
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4ieXKg0kN
The thought of giving into the sensation…terrifiedher. She wanted…no…needed to escape this feeling.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34LiPnMSJ7

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.

Flamma: “Shush you.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lGcj7XxhI

Flamma: “Don’t worry master, I was just learning somethings from my friends. I won’t leave your side for anything less.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvazmq6uEz
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczX8W2usnM
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?”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb9L07FC8A

Raskreia: “Buy me dinner first and maybe I’ll think about it.”
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK04lbNgZHd

That got Louise to fume red while Flamma giggled at how adorable Louise can be.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MtBVD673A

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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjBNPE47yy

Raskeria alone may be his equal. That’s not even counting Zander and Flamma. But Jake is interesting…
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLcjELVc1Y
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CsJF9baTs
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i92Ln9z9G
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZsrYjYpc5
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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtgyhO7cTm

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.
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj1meJ0hyD
104Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylmsk5XToQ
Aeron casts alter self so he looks like Siesta before making his way to Guiche.
