Raskreia: “Planeswalker?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaleR7WUxj7
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF55NmvQcRz
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.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qaZN42w5S
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpouGZpKATF
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2x5Ibw6hO
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBzP5OILEf
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…”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHvWRyxksZ
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ985D26eVV1
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxsG3Ne4oR
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwNheZ44J3
She takes two long gulps of air before pocketing the orb and getting up.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde9HusZJqV

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

115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVT2FKbLZ8
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgIGzseG2N
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJDOoQkuwm
As for these two…
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0Fxs8DP3R
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcrlAQBOsb
Zander: “Considering the situation, I’ll be the one to break the news to Jake.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDEDhHkWD9
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMXN8gL95l
Flamma: “Oh yeah…he’s not going to be happy about that.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvyK1PExeq
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzi5jEZmLZ
Zander: “No…but he has to accept that fact quick. We’ll need him on our side.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZsXvPa38p
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV3foimUB5
Flamma: “For what? What’s coming?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzInJAu2j8S
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5NQQlxhyT
Zander: “I don’t know…and that worries me all the more.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmesjv6GZAh
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapuBQ63pMB
Flamma watches Zander walk towards the forest but quickly turns away. She has to focus on what she should do.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn4lzByIZA
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1wzA3wdfB
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqKacXqSXc
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLq9YmZXVc
Flamma: “Who could possibly have the skill to sneak past me and Tech’s defenses? What could-”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq6CiMOAhn
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRVqf19mFU
Then she remember last night, when Raskreia sensed something and attacked. Was it that?
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfom3g6jnoJ
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf4ZpwCBfi
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…”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtiBzwMlVm
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGeeU0ePEU
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxnmp2s1WR
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1NA75lsKH
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!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMjJxIbURx
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29rpp2X9Qj
Flamma escaped her mind and open her eyes to see Louise running to her from across the courtyard.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62EOxE4E8w
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6SSQMVdt4
Flamma: “I won’t let hem hurt you either Louise.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFG2bSUhJph
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYArLBgUd6
Flamma took a deep breath and made her way to Louise.

115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuPQHdmdjV

Louise: “I-I see…”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqRst0oyan

115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUy9JzsjdWV
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaQimaBnOt
Louise: “R-Really? I-I mean, good. I’m sure Tech will recover, right now though I need you to accompany me to town.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b5mvHHCMm
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r9moEbzIf

Louise: “Huh?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDjaBHcyr0
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGukr4JGh6w

115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNJG0ABK3B

Louise: “Hey, wait!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLJXkt4btr
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYR06VbhZs
Flamma pulled Louise towards the front gate and later the town. Only later did she notice that she didn’t know the way.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEjNYZfvgB
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRkY7Khb6P
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkRKxyV0ka
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEUX1fCYIz
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqG40K44xVC
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QlYtb9VOZ
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZMOrjtfcN
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kTkbzrI2l
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDUp5ji1ZB
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qiuMCyM1F
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuXGx7QWiD
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXFT3nmf6D
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADmnjSvKAL
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZP3NNtSQb
Sylphid had an urge to nuzzle him, to lick the wounds clean.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHHDzRgEgG
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMP0wTUSYE
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaMx75Zxgr
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HX6yUxj1Y
Unknown to her however, the torture was only beginning.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyW7mHoA3U

Jake: “Damn it…”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EBVD1z5ZK
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE1oYeWaOV
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNF6nCTRVb
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5CjxcBx6U
Jake: “If…I had just died…my parents wouldn’t be…”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecHImNjhxP
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWMp8CVYig
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EqHaGusf7
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnebsgIUK0h
Jake: “If I had died…I wouldn’t be like…this…”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI3fMVX7oo
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCLGQRK5Zl
This wouldn’t be bothering him so much if there was something to do. But there’s nothing. He felt lost here.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdlDm0H0nn
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQrd23tEla
In New York, he had one absolute mission – destroy Blackwatch. But here…
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa69iLXFVX
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYgR5ilQJI
Jake: “There’s nothing to fight against…nothing to fight for…no anchor…”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDywm8sdTJ
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4gveIS5Ci
Jake was brought of his thoughts when a new presence entered his field of sight.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALlGsQPRKU
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowlqN86F4q
Zander: “Jake, I have…news.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvxDD3bJI1
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjg6qMirjR
He looked down at Zander and for a moment, felt surprise. Zander looked…off balance.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFSzswffbF
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05qg9tsT1u
Jake: “What could possible unnerve him of all people.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55ZAcDK3VV
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpX2NRQwoI
He jumped down and approached the noble.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakTdqQym8F
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF95vNDxkZ
Jake: “What is it?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAmUvrUe3n
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4GIjbIet8
Zander: “…Something happened.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9qyiX4rdq
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNa2j8MZeB
Jake: “Why should I care?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwuGKfXUyu
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuyU4qPW03
Zander: “It involves your…our way home.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5FML8oIoL
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU4d47ksL7
Jake: “What are you-”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo9KY2qMYX
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EmwQOiUWR
Zander: “Someone has locked this dimension, we can’t go back.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW9po9Q6Or
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxXKSBntyW
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFstmkFw9g
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavAVW0lweC
Jake: “Explain.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKvL41zUGJ
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqaPpuHZq8
Zander: “Raskreia is missing and she may not be able to come back to this dimension. We’re stuck here.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uTH5frzEa
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOnNw9fU3V
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKuJNYWNxL
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAbBYXPpSZ
He could focus his anger on the person who locked the dimension. He could have remembered that Zander was not his opponent.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjGGnr2h4L
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZqnfxmwrs
He could have done many things. But like so many times before, his anger got the best on him.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4UPWwktiX
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Kp9cTQ6PO
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz20D8NdeUH
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFGImf9m3C
Jake: “Wrong Answer.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYryf52uk4Y
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtiUM2fu3g
Zander: “Don’t do this.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjCuEmLGyy
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIalhRk48hr
Rage was unreasonable and demanded bloodshed, something Jake was willing to provide.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ftoaBkjKt
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8Xfj3qD82
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPeaiNIlLZ
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT10C31cuG0
Jake charged through the pain and launched several more attacked with both clawed hands.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWi2VzJtPy
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH2jDtV3mW
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymvTUnn7iy
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByxbzdECsF
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jdyK6Qcpr
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsIUhmlk7h
He used the branches to reach Zander in the sky. Zander held up his staff to block the overhead slash from Jake.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXqdK7QBRG
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNoqjipR6q
Zander: “Enough Jake, I don’t want to hurt you!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OgJck1cS2
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOzw37jQyz
His words fell on death ears, the answer he got instead was a heavy blow to the cheek, sending him spinning to the ground.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDlL5ROeml
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3CAiKmYTa
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tA4wVn91I
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelHoB00N0Q
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TX0ZYeck4
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANPartWdue
But when it finally cracked, Zander was ready. Summoning flames from the deep, he unleashed blue hell from his mouth enveloping Jake.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7jNbQauXt
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloS6I8VdwX
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHIxAPjpvU
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKqvEUqpDn
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQDBOO5qnZ
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT958vkRPGj
Despite that…he kept coming.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXguTmoJHko
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsi8qPmv4Y
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHvfmVztPo
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi7GQBmkuZ
He didn’t see Zander anymore, he saw Mercer. He saw the monster that took his parents. He saw the bastard smirking, mocking him…
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjINp0oQPy
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqkXWOJuOA
Jake: ‘DIE!!’
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HRKfp4tHP
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBnM39ApIj
“Stop!!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgr10SK4jE
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJMKXNcn8Z
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?
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqCaHXm3o6
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9eKO8oHjC
But this warmth won’t heal him, he needed body mass. Jake was so tempted to eat the one before him.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KAfgLtBFg
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjmx7yNK5N
So tantalizingly close to consuming the one who gave him relief. It would be so easy.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FpUlWB5SH
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt3bzbn4vm
Mercer: “Do it Jake. You’re a weapon, one that will turn this world into a singular paradise. Consume, adapt, survive.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfnBiQxjSc
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHrYV0MOdv
Jake: “I…have to survive…I…”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUiUhFl7ft
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0L2BgRgTV
Tendrils snaked up the girl’s body, threatening to penetrate and force her to become one with him.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZjbVKnr7h
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVetEL47UFZ
“Jake…”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnOCeKnchp
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4iQx246Sb
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…
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltInHjg5pu
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FrvFsWLBT
His eyes now truly open to see her and she felt…familiar. That familiarly was what he needed to anchor himself.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoGQi5wDYS
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOwmK73K9W
The tendrils recede and Jake takes a step back, removing himself from the warmth of her embrace.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea69th1gk4
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H51PsDvqy
Zander: “Jake, are you alright?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPvxD0TWge
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8C8BJmYv8u
Jake: “…Yeah. I just need…a moment to process things.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5yTBQiK7r
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbg4oVtZUPn
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabtJx71Clw
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZceaHnm4A
Zander: “He’s a handful. Are you alright miss…”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbImsZb7g7

“I’m Illococoo. Yes, I’m fine.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEYd4CCeZ5
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6gq3pVVr6
She says that, but Zander can see the burns. She dove into that mess regardless of the danger, all for Jake.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t9CWkJIBW
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAAqb4qDqi
Zander: “If I didn’t cancel my spells in time…”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuslNPrimD7

115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm63WJkSSN

Illococoo: “No, I can find my own way.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UFIMcYWrq
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nOCY9HOlI
Before Zander can protest, she quickly left deeper into the woods as well. He can only sigh and walk back to the school.

No matter what, Louise just can’t see Flamma as someone who would do that to Siesta. Seeing Flamma explore the town and the markets like some normal woman only confused her more.

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

Flamma: “Damn it, way to go Flamma. Try to lighten the mood but just end up making her mad.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVN7j11YrC
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZC84z3p8S

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.

115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12d1uj8UXa
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…”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkpj87FRbJ
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSYNGPauhC
Aeron licks his lips in anticipation.

The maid, who is now wearing a form fitting rouge outfit with a boob window, runs up to Aeron.

Siesta: “Are you-”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6Bpn7apRV
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVU6WKTQx4
Aeron: “You would like that wouldn’t you? But no, this is a ring of sustenance. Wear it for 7 days and you’ll never have to eat, drink or sleep again.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvB086QG8K

Her felt her grip on him tighten.

115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmvCwJahAu
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4Tf9LqDdd
Aeron: “Yes, still sore that she hid that from you?”

115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGpugbfVmN
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYePYT37gHk
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?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnECQVeMOi
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaTkOny3d1
Siesta: “…Why?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxv3FTD0LgI

Aeron: “What do you mean?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAe09bAtHzC

He was tempted to say love or some trite nonsense to seal the deal. But Aeron shrugged and told the true.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBecZbO1g6
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14WYFDKvb1
Aeron: “Chaos.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWlLyFsQcH

Siesta: “W-What?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAGhlfJ7gG
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡto3TobG6vY
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…”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt8XYXkSWB
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWuHbOmV8J
Aeron lifted her chin so she can look him in the eye.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNutpRhapEq
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRQqvX5Wk9
Aeron: “You’re sexy when you’re mad.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuBggWxKH5
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdez3UgZKLX
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7Rav9LdBr
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCDhisxEMY
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGd2zeLqU8
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSBTVVBFc2
So he broke off the kiss.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEygf8IJiH

Aeron: “I’ll take that as a yes?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lzRhrPm6B
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1Um4F1J1V
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC939DCuXS
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzt1AY8BYQ
But this only made Aeron laugh. First, it was a few giggles but it eventually broke into a madding glee.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYSa4Q14wL
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61ZIDdoGX4
Siesta: “A-Aeron, what’s wrong?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS0FCHLeWF
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz1wq3FZsk
Aeron: “It seems I’m not the only one obsessed with chaos. Someone spatially locked this plane. Summoning is impossible now.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2xxwM0A0K
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4YbFSgBK8
Siesta: “What…does this mean?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMvHJg9qzc
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lgCV8NvnR
Aeron: “It means…things are going to get real fun soon.”

Man, seeing the previous chapters and their grammatically mistakes…
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0B5YeC1wol
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgK86zc0XT
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPAEkrvAu7
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB0QcUPfX5
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0zJlhQSiK
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKJWvFuC6e
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.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VYqV8f7fb
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WzXFV8oz4
Let’s hope I can continue to work on both of these stories. I love them both and I think they both have potential.
