Raskreia: “Planeswalker?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnrVTkaquv
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMPBaOF8Zz
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.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0on32r3rK
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLUzxzvaMx
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9WE1WA8Xw
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DSqetMalW
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…”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPrIPfLosP
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNa88E9i34
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqETXWdjAt
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzRGOXGHTO
She takes two long gulps of air before pocketing the orb and getting up.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSzrsIFCl2

Raskreia: “Quest accepted, whatever it is…I won’t fail.”

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqX66CKFJj
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUgWGH2DqB
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4w2ny1tbUf
As for these two…
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYNNnwabh7
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqo8H78G49
Zander: “Considering the situation, I’ll be the one to break the news to Jake.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvscDXBearx
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gb7x1VJdZ
Flamma: “Oh yeah…he’s not going to be happy about that.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh85ZXuIZd
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpH3ErNmfZR
Zander: “No…but he has to accept that fact quick. We’ll need him on our side.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreEUpxunrO
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctkuFu1HqJ
Flamma: “For what? What’s coming?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5h4TlqudZ
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwudUqxFmYG
Zander: “I don’t know…and that worries me all the more.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG1YcXdhpH
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGJd3DrgPi
Flamma watches Zander walk towards the forest but quickly turns away. She has to focus on what she should do.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGrbIG0uRV
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45VkSXIIlL
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00VasHSaIk
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzrafqRXct
Flamma: “Who could possibly have the skill to sneak past me and Tech’s defenses? What could-”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nCVGxpaqH
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvB6NBnzRo
Then she remember last night, when Raskreia sensed something and attacked. Was it that?
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8cbtMd9Ma
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsQgd3uaZB
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…”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYTb4MPE6h
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3gWnbHRA9
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrKA0bF3Uy
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZQ7cBxQRh
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!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbBRuOwkRe

Flamma escaped her mind and open her eyes to see Louise running to her from across the courtyard.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kk0q9LVW7
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDUjiE3BSC
Flamma: “I won’t let hem hurt you either Louise.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Jpe3jWowz
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04O7CM8Vxh
Flamma took a deep breath and made her way to Louise.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2T5CUg8JO

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUr7Zy0TNb

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvyzg4l1Nc
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ABFTEPQ2m
Louise: “R-Really? I-I mean, good. I’m sure Tech will recover, right now though I need you to accompany me to town.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfkrMzpOwd

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYJhT3INJ6

Louise: “Huh?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalPG8nOkt1
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXo0YjRt4o

Louise: “Hey, wait!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsBqOWJl6o
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mNR6WEJJ7
Flamma pulled Louise towards the front gate and later the town. Only later did she notice that she didn’t know the way.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUFzgn1sGi
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC2dIGQDSQ
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuuAsfCzQs
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmIWureUwv
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEDAPtIyvO
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTGBJ8Zrtm
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GM34Zmvm6
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL10bMGXRsp
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8b39nEOvTx
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfNWjociAE
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5wiOHmHsE
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtRUr9mRh2
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIacXqdEGT
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQmi1XGSkS
Sylphid had an urge to nuzzle him, to lick the wounds clean.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdEqg1p3u0
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAzOMDd0AL
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOSCxwPznK
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxfalpI130
Unknown to her however, the torture was only beginning.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAccivg4Tg

Jake: “Damn it…”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ4OSbsDsm
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mUFcmUtzs
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8tndcIYb9
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6q3RbHKph
Jake: “If…I had just died…my parents wouldn’t be…”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKhqZtFVJT
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKO5tu3vr2
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEZkevkrWc
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVo0dujP44
Jake: “If I had died…I wouldn’t be like…this…”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmXBVs7yJX
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh9HVhZTXc
This wouldn’t be bothering him so much if there was something to do. But there’s nothing. He felt lost here.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoZR7CnKEB
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYechHCm8s
In New York, he had one absolute mission – destroy Blackwatch. But here…
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywgWq0Jn0m
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGMUKTi4Gv
Jake: “There’s nothing to fight against…nothing to fight for…no anchor…”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jH02bUxUZ
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZIBOsfE31
Jake was brought of his thoughts when a new presence entered his field of sight.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡult2pVuixN
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRCDEnoxon
Zander: “Jake, I have…news.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSpv83Dsu5
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeVOk0xMAz
He looked down at Zander and for a moment, felt surprise. Zander looked…off balance.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcLF2leFbf
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPe9VykKcN
Jake: “What could possible unnerve him of all people.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uzBpFyZRN
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnnRMNLW2q
He jumped down and approached the noble.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg1UxULM9L
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLrxNxqQQb
Jake: “What is it?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc01xLfB0RO
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRwpG7hU8Y
Zander: “…Something happened.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuOupZR42P
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCBqDMiI1n
Jake: “Why should I care?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqkoGZX9BH
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5tDLoDg5R
Zander: “It involves your…our way home.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2ZnPCIPL5
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63JKsy9LyG
Jake: “What are you-”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbx4h55nbb
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYavobmV2z
Zander: “Someone has locked this dimension, we can’t go back.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGhlEStoPD
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH3bbItYcP
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEogWSAAtr
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG9ZJRL2uR
Jake: “Explain.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHYvEBDiB3
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWMdmuCXWR
Zander: “Raskreia is missing and she may not be able to come back to this dimension. We’re stuck here.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO11cc3wIX5
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xTjC81FHu
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sIpVGQWYD
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYQ85Rvwat
He could focus his anger on the person who locked the dimension. He could have remembered that Zander was not his opponent.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bUMp0AaXQ
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25kiUoHLwY
He could have done many things. But like so many times before, his anger got the best on him.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MgPDOQS3h
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1ZzMTeee7
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZFAiB5AY0
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QSGK3JG3C
Jake: “Wrong Answer.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKrB65cc6v
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplSfcfhJyO
Zander: “Don’t do this.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEMGnSe9uL
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4CHOcWu1B
Rage was unreasonable and demanded bloodshed, something Jake was willing to provide.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9T4dE7d9Kv
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHjmJ1avfN
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6K5Cx2cgz
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBey4YkXqE
Jake charged through the pain and launched several more attacked with both clawed hands.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gzjUdLErz
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyFnc0WSTj
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgM8ojlJNo
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLGHfCq4H3
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbFm2DvQV4
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKqntlkkDk
He used the branches to reach Zander in the sky. Zander held up his staff to block the overhead slash from Jake.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4dtva6iWT
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfQjiNM7v6
Zander: “Enough Jake, I don’t want to hurt you!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnqoAd7Rvv
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsuHV3jARa
His words fell on death ears, the answer he got instead was a heavy blow to the cheek, sending him spinning to the ground.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV8T9FUMoY
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcV4hl4XTT
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfUeEHIoDJ
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnrhafNgNU
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIceXneuKwE
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPK63QoOXZ
But when it finally cracked, Zander was ready. Summoning flames from the deep, he unleashed blue hell from his mouth enveloping Jake.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0Y9YHk1XL
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYrIh8Vsr9
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q1QqwfedQ
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkybOrdZpls
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBstyEeV5lR
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmSBw84LIH
Despite that…he kept coming.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLkn0Iy3Em
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOUrvmvlbZ
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt1UyiB9Ip
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TAw4siuuq
He didn’t see Zander anymore, he saw Mercer. He saw the monster that took his parents. He saw the bastard smirking, mocking him…
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZI7Dklur5
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkNdDaQLNR
Jake: ‘DIE!!’
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6lP1loYDN
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3iC6rea63
“Stop!!”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwxYfkn8hz
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB05PZWuSck
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?
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVIMXjDxiZ
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdaJaDbUjG
But this warmth won’t heal him, he needed body mass. Jake was so tempted to eat the one before him.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkH6iDJUj0
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomnZedC2AU
So tantalizingly close to consuming the one who gave him relief. It would be so easy.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QUVN2Kivy
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUdFqV7zdZ
Mercer: “Do it Jake. You’re a weapon, one that will turn this world into a singular paradise. Consume, adapt, survive.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8UIcYDw8K
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4vgqf1WOz
Jake: “I…have to survive…I…”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrMLGwmhSh
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD3ktFbYir
Tendrils snaked up the girl’s body, threatening to penetrate and force her to become one with him.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBR2hNtkLd
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxDo9CdDvV
“Jake…”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa639hMbk4
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTtwWmtlrN
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…
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFfAmn40ts
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy1CGjo3Ed
His eyes now truly open to see her and she felt…familiar. That familiarly was what he needed to anchor himself.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MtYshTSZF
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkiiJJphUh
The tendrils recede and Jake takes a step back, removing himself from the warmth of her embrace.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnByX6u919c
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsdQM5ZquP
Zander: “Jake, are you alright?”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWCzpeeU9W
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXIGhMtps2
Jake: “…Yeah. I just need…a moment to process things.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ354bEc9NLn
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6DCuTpqjg
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFpGQhHfwh
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeacH7wHsT
Zander: “He’s a handful. Are you alright miss…”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aEwb0AfFX
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwG8dw0CTx3
“I’m Illococoo. Yes, I’m fine.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmTY15bkKZ
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdxuFYTxmt
She says that, but Zander can see the burns. She dove into that mess regardless of the danger, all for Jake.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3c5y670VY
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjugGBZq2aw
Zander: “If I didn’t cancel my spells in time…”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxI2GOkpv4C

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSXq4dixgQ

Illococoo: “No, I can find my own way.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7xNxcvhST
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYCQbc3C3y
Before Zander can protest, she quickly left deeper into the woods as well. He can only sigh and walk back to the school.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo8oCLpWhc
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPxDYmfy2f

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

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: “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?”

He was tempted to say love or some trite nonsense to seal the deal. But Aeron shrugged and told the true.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQCNEJ0QkA

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…”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TYlIr981b

Aeron lifted her chin so she can look him in the eye.

Aeron: “You’re sexy when you’re mad.”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGfH2Tozd9
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWJrsqSuxE
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.

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.

So he broke off the kiss.

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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsHbIPpnpD
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLUvcqVoCc
But this only made Aeron laugh. First, it was a few giggles but it eventually broke into a madding glee.

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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpvweMMz4G
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmERn421e4e
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.
