"Rise and shine, Prodigies!" Verna's peppy voice awoken the group. "Let's get ready for the coronation of Father Time today!"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaSyUdxHO3
Catherine scratches her neck as she pushes the quilt off. "Coronation?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOyDrtEG91
"Apparently, a new Father Time is to be crowned today." Nathaniel states, stretching.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TqEP3JNUo
"Your mission today is to just watch over the new guy before the celebration begins. Pretty easy, right?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuUSRBS80n
"Wait...our job today is to be a goddamn babysitter?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZuISzx6Rs
"If that's how you view it, yes. But as a reward, you get to go to the after-party!"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xZvGhXQxP
"That at least solves dinner..." Ezra thinks aloud.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWmB4i6Lkh
"Breakfast will be served once you get there, so just put on your clothes and shoes and...look a little presentable.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hmiWUdJzC
"No prob.." Arsenio says. "Let me just get my morning tea before I go.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9Cm2Smowi
"T-Tea?" Isabelle asks while brushing her hair.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrfWkUDuTE
"There's no time to go time traveling now." Nathaniel interrupted, pulling his shoes on his feet. "We have to be there as soon as possible. Thou leaving would only cause delay."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKtq55XJz4
"...Alright then..." Arsenio says, slowly sitting down and sliding his hands in his coat pockets. "I'll just wait until later then.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9uadN4XJH
"Is everyone ready?" Verna asks, peeking into the room as she does so.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ114pzMdIdW
"I think so.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKvkwzAEhK
"Good, good!" she fully opens the doors to let the Prodigies out. "Then, let's go, shall we?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtl7gAInJS
The four leave the Sanctuary, following behind Verna. A crowd of other Prodigies and Timekeepers exploded into cheers and claps, not for them, but for the soon-to-be Father Time. The five come out to take a look.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvp4gAn1Ff
"See him?" Verna points towards a young man dressed in golden silk. "That's in z was Chrono, the so-called 'Golden Child' of the Time Realm."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqIrQMKblX
"...Is it because he's blonde?" Catherine remarked.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAreKF9i3ti
"... That might have had a influence on the nickname, yes."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsOHzaL1un
They watched as walked stone faced across to the home of Father Time.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mzsq4NSCx
"Let's go." Verna says, instructing them to follow Chrono.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahTPKK5Kmh
When they finally get to the house of Father Time, opened the door and walked in, they were amazed by the interior of it. They could feel the whimsical breeze of it's godly aura.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVH0wq1on0
"Hello?" Catherine waited for a response.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYyOebgwXA
"J-Just a minute!" A voice called out before crashing and falling is heard. Then, from the stairs emerged Chrono.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSKa0s7aLS
"Verna, very nice to see you again. And these four might be?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEFnY6n7Kt
"This is Nathaniel, Catherine, Isabelle and Arsenio. They're the new Prodigies that are here to keep you company while we prepare for the ceremony."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEL71ehuDy
"I see..."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwvLZFxAgp
"Thanks again for doing this, guys."
Verna time warps away.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3IVgFo6kd
"...Which one of you is which? I just don't want to be confused.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEfAquogjV
They introduce themselves once again, giving him some clarity.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjrVCCsOJZ
"Ah, well it's nice to meet all of you."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxdfoN7wzL
"Verna t-told us that w-we would have s-some breakfast.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiCL1t60Sd
"Of course. You've come here quite early, so I'm sure you four are starving."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqQ5230zPu
"Yeah..." Catherine agreed, lightly holding her stomach.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8ohnuxPb6
"I thought so. I've prepared something, so don't worry."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Bu0e4dW5I
Chrono brandishes a golden door, which he promptly throws open and reveals some nice breakfast meals, already plated and ready to eat.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCYWDTxR5T
"You m-made all of this yourself?!" Catherine exclaimed, impressed.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUKoeiAlft
"I was just planning on making food for myself, but I didn't want to be rude.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRUZ5E8Slx
"It does look rather...delectable..." Nathaniel says, clearing his throat.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7gLT7Qvw5
"Well, shall we eat or watch it get cold?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPKGHPOu8b
The four Prodigies and the Son of Time all sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast, basically wolfing down the entire plate before them.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdYwHwnGbl
"Man, that was good..." Arsenio says, stretching in his seat.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh10TcP6o4D
"I'm glad you enjoyed. It's very difficult to find people who enjoy similar interests to me."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPS8VYaEkX
"Now what? Do you just read books and whatnot?" Catherine asked, taking the last sip of her drink.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAVvVhantF
"I'm afraid so...I yearn to join you Prodigies on adventures. They sound full of excitement, far more exciting than being the future ruler of the Time Realm.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8DDEegjWA
"Then why not join us? From what we've experienced, we certainly need the help." Arsenio asks, leaned back in his chair.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xgeRThnEd
"I was never suited for things like that, unfortunately..." Chrono sighs. "My Gift is also a little...hard to control."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINOHGcqEuQ
"...Can we see it?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOFSH3WEYq
Chrono begins to rub his arms as guilt and embarrassment threw itself on his face.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9FlNMLYNc
"You can say no, you know..." Catherine speaks. "No one's forcing you."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7l6JB8Rko
"It's...complicated."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpVhIB2Fr8
"That's u-understandable...I have a Gift I can't quite c-control myself..."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauhJeDcYTQ
Dawlly immediately pops itself out of Isabelle's pocket with an annoyed look.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHcvwCN1eS
"I-It's true..." she looks at Dawlly with the same annoyed look.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoMlHGLEMK
"Interesting.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTMyCnjtxT
"Is there anything else you like to do other than read and fantasize?" Catherine asks.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfASRpeEA2
"I like to learn more about my Gift."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNt85RyFlb
Carefully, as not to fully summon his Gift, Chrono slides his sleeves back and reveals the shiny, golden exterior, speckled with gems of many, his fingernails now sharpened and curved.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZO71MlCOF
"O-oh my.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6mORYqlC9
"This is as far as I'll go..the last thing I want is to turn on you.." Chrono quickly pulls his sleeves back up.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbVS4BqDg6
"So, what's your Gift? I'm sure you four have gotten one.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggfPxDShBT
Catherine nudges Nathaniel. "You show yours first. You're the supposed leader."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4dof0fbtC
"I have never said that I was a leader..."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdQn5t26bR
"W-Well..." Isabelle added. "You d-do know the most out of all of us..."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Kq9FGSW3T
"...Fine.." Nathaniel reluctantly agrees.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvspqxDiXh
First, his arm, then up to his shoulder, until his entire body was covered in armor.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHz0Bn3fBH
"You never told me you could do that.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkbDBC3HMB
"I feel as if there is... no need to use the full Gift. It is...uncomfortable.." He speaks from within the suit.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6btikKL2lP
"Well, get the hell out of it then..."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKAI44g4iH
He removes himself from the armor, reverting back to his velvet clothes.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7tKjlAnYi
"Well, since thou wants to assume roles, maybe thou would like to go next, co-leader?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyVCXbileH
"Of course you pin this crap on me.." Catherine growled. "But sure, why not?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAT8HFuSS7g
She slips through her chair, and all the way through the floor.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjASBCIEf38
It was like she was in her own dimension, her escape from reality. She swam around as she heard the others from above.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyOf4ZZUic
That's when she heard a voice calling her name from the distance.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjCMUD8Ekd
"Hello?" The voice creepily whispered.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ977WjDos2z
"The hell?" She exclaimed. That freaked her out enough to pull herself out of the Phasing dimension.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBkhWRyC5s
She gasped, as if she was underwater when she crawled out.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gtXGAgvKH
"You alright? You've been in the floor for quite a while..." Arsenio mentioned.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6Sp6BkPj3
"...Yeah, something just... freaked me out.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bEcI7a0vd
She slides back in her seat...
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpeqbYtm7J
"I-I'll go next..." Isabelle announces. Within seconds, the threads began pulling themselves out of her sleeves.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX068iOUXtK
"I can even control her emotions like this!"
Dawlly pulls itself against the rest of the threads. Isabelle clenches her chest, before dropping. She wakes up in a fit of rage.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aJAneyVA4
"I just had to wake up today! Is it wrong to get some sleep around here?!"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDFHXj03Y4
Dawlly smiles innocently as Isabelle continues to roar.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxuj3Hde41
"Don't worry, I've got this.." Arsenio stands up. "Trust me, my charm is irresistible."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYG4bk7kYr
He grabs her wrists, looks her deep into her eyes..
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6wX2onNX6
"Ah, great..." Catherine grumbled, rolling her eyes.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6gNclmtFZ
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that you look adorable when you're angry?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6lOfxboqc
Isabelle, easily flustered and caught off guard, immediately snaps back to her timid self.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3K7ojg55u
"See?" He points out. "It's like a secret perk I have." He starts throwing up two pieces of jewelry.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTdLbSoqup
Isabelle immediately feels her ears.
"M-my earrings!"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3Scvm5tLh
Arsenio chuckles and gives them back to Isabelle. "Don't worry Belle, I might be a thief, but I couldn't steal from a sweet girl like you."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3c6SdnASto
Isabelle just kept turning red as she puts back on her earrings.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u4uRq1haZ
"So, you yourself do not have a Gift just yet, Arsenio?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgxrhUQWye
"I haven't really felt anything, so no...I think."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQM7Fz6EO1
Outside, bells begin to ring. Chrono looks up at the clock sitting across the room from him on the wall.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuoWNBwrXU
"Ah...only an hour left..."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKaXGdARUJ
"Is there anything else thou wants to say to us before thou becomes Father Time?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy93FgCKutn
"Use your Gift well, and I hope we get to see each other more in the future."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRfxUT4a9B
Chrono smiles genuinely.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTO7UBeQ2N
"So, what now?" Arsenio says, picking his teeth.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTZqVUkBw1
"Well, if you four are attending the ceremony, you'll have to be properly dressed."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquyS4X0VOe
"Well, Verna could've told us that earlier.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9RHLs3S8T
"Don't worry, we have a public closet full of gowns and suits for you to wear."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOEn8YIMBC
Chrono stands up, leads them upstairs and pulls open a closet door.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DKB1XSXyI
There were attire in every color of the rainbow.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhy6XWedLT
"Hey, now this is nice!" Catherine says, walking into the spacious closet.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JAM0jpzQI
"Don't be afraid to pick whatever you want!" Chrono says, leaving.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmNbzDCc5B
Trying to decide what attire to wear, the Prodigies pick the most extravagant and dazzling outfit that fit them the most.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0GDVQPZhz
The four take turns putting on their new clothes, which gleamed and twinkled in the light. Once the four return to the closet.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyC4NHzdBw
"Looking nice girls.." Arsenio says.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGF1Afg4Ce
"These shoes are gonna kill me later, but yeah, thanks.."
Catherine complained.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9cGzdz3lJ
"Now that that portion has been completed.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuT2GsjpzVR
Nathaniel grabs Arsenio by the shoulder.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFxrz5sIhq
"Arsenio. Thou shall come with me."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSuFV2t2tV
He drags him away.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI0U1M0Har
"Hey uh, Nathaniel, what are you trying to do?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjKkHecJY8
"We must fix this hair of thine.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yISfRTUDa
"Wait...Nate no, my hair is fine-"
Nathaniel pulls Arsenio outside.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAdWI3p8Bb
"Well, it w-wouldn't be too wrong to d-do the same, would it?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzkXpMOUSi
"No, we can take turns doing each other's hair. That seems hella fun!"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMvul2t6Ht
"O-okay!"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMoj77G7To
Isabelle finds some combs, brushes, and hair accessories.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzqq1bTxCH
"N-now, what kind of hairstyle would you want?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5xJdJp3Cx
"Something simple, I guess. Not trying to impress anyone.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9AscA1Ate
Isabelle gets to unbraiding Catherine's hair, carefully and gracefully taking it apart. In the middle of brushing however, Isabelle stops.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC98oyCXc2
"Uhm...Catherine?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC5fJBZVeQ
"Yeah?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykvftF3G5Q
"There's a m-mark or something...on your neck.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKGiPB6ys2
"Huh? What does it look like?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg4JOvEaU5
"It l-looks like something scratched you... you didn't g-get attacked b-by anything, did you?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI8Bp0ybzC
Catherine scratches her neck once again.
"I dunno, I thought I just had an allergic reaction to something yesterday, that's when it started itching like crazy.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9equ5EoAb
"D-Do you have any allergies?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV2zSPVAzj
"I'm not supposed to."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDISUcYZcS2
"...Oh my.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj557DZR3Uy
"I'm not too worried about it... it'll clear up soon..."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsu6yZ8UuO
"...If you say so.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHvik18YjC
Isabelle continues to brush and straighten Catherine's hair. Before she knew it, Isabelle was already putting a flower pin neatly upon her head.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHRyJ4u9d7
Isabelle puts a mirror in front of her face. "T-Tada!"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57umHuDdvM
"Oh damn. That's actually really good."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObSvUhqMS8
"T-thank you.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUViNXlV9gk
They switch positions, with Catherine sitting behind Isabelle to do her hair.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGL65rY7ehn
"Is there anything specific you want to get?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKO9rDc5owt
"U-Uhm.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77lK7FeZwz
"Oh wait, I actually learned how to do this one hairstyle, French roll or something like that?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5NRJgDDaJ
"Okay, that one t-then.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DfMm9SWGm
"Alright."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8Oy6Q6pYq
Catherine gathers all of Isabelle's hair, pulling it together, wrapping it around itself, until it looks like the hairstyle.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlBNTjFhxd
"Crap, I don't have any hair pins.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByadcfVMGZ
"D-don't worry, I have a backup.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm9yUV2Xml
With her Gift, Isabelle sews the updo together until it fits securely, then places her own pin into her head.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMLraLi4vj
"...That works too.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkrErcNBvJ
Both the boys suddenly walk back into the closet. Arsenio's hair was no longer covering his eye, but instead pulled back to where someone could see both.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N08ehy67C
"I still don't get why you did this, it was fine as it is.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyGEh4tuiC
"Trust me, thou would rather look like this."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKKInRZM3w
"I see the boys didn't have a good time picking out hairstyles." Catherine taunted.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17XjcTWcDD
"T-They do seem to be in a debate.." Isabelle added.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iPAhMk6f7
"It's gonna take forever to put my hair back now.." Arsenio protested.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZqA5NJkDy
"Let's not w-worry about that... we're supposed t-to have fun.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJMpLTDRk1
"Yeah, I guess that's true..."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgzghMn61E
There was thirty more minutes left. Still plenty of time to waste. Chrono comes back to check on them.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Kl6GTcIxf
"Ah, looking exquisite Prodigies!" Chrono praises them. "I'm sure you'll be the best looking ones out there!"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHiW5d0T1r
"Eh, I doubt it, but I feel a lot prettier in this poofy thing.." Catherine flutters the ends of her dress.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkxVuTIAlo
"Ah, don't be so modest, you look great!"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeUpmUMSOT
"Well, we still have lots of time. What should we do until then?" Arsenio asks.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu8o7F3awk
"Why wait?" Chrono asks. "I can manipulate time at will. I'll just skip time a few minutes.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZjCCFrwAX
Chrono raises his arms. Their breathing gets faster, no, everything they did became quicker than their eyes can see, then abruptly...it all stops. The bells ring once again.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDt8zAou24
"...That was...strange."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjBKyauyUO
"Let's go. The ceremony's about to start."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqyfjzMjbE
Catherine pushes Chrono out of the door. "We're right behind you, don't worry."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyblMpoz8q
Chrono sighs, stands in a more noble-like pose, and walks out with same neutral face as before. The Prodigies start walking similarly, standing on the sidelines as they got to the end of the golden aisle.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZu2rj2fz1
The crowd begins to applaud as Verna appears behind Chrono. She clears her throat.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoWexByChN
"Welcome everyone, to Chrono's coronation. It's been a while since we've had one of these, huh?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyWbc9mo2n
The crowd erupted into light laughter.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6kI8K0hGz
"Anyways," she continued. "let's get to the best part."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBvmOfBLFu
She turns Chrono around, hold his hands gently.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzdxUcjqBO
"Do you solemnly swear, as long as you live, that you will fairly rule over the Time Realm?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUh7NEJmKi
Chrono silently nods.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBPjnDEndO
Verna releases his hands, opens her own, and in them, appears an extravagant crown which seemed to glow in the light.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUvbKs1xte
"Well then," she places it upon his head. "..you are now Father Time."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJN19BnTw8
Everyone explodes into cheers. The Prodigies couldn't help but clap along.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GG5QzOZk4
"Now, let us commence. Grab a partner, for the party is about to begin!"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJp0KwYgn9
Groups begin to pull apart into parties of two, music begins to fade in.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUulvMKXuO
Catherine feels fluttery from the tension.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBzt4rsQoy
"...Is something the matter Catherine?" Nathaniel's voice seemed louder than the opening song softly playing in background, the duos of dancers twirling around like a top.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75dfnAx8rJ
"I just...never danced before. I just sat in the back of the room drinking punch and looking at everyone else at prom." she returned, sadly chuckling. "Speaking of which...I should go do that now."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeqIFr4m3U
She trudges off to a table, which had some people conversing between each other, and some cool punch standing on a table. Catherine brainlessly takes a cup, picks up the golden ladle, and puts the drink in the cup before taking a sip, like she always does.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iD4C7HbaX
She tries to find familiar people swimming through the crowd like fish in water. Catherine is lost in thought as she took another sip, the cool temperature of the drink removing the clawing tension from her head and shoulders.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwvSbZ0JM4
"Does thou plan to do this at every party?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLPlkiwG4N
Catherine finds the source of the tension. She knew Nathaniel was standing behind her the entire time. Without looking back, she responds.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MYJZ4wI8l
"I don't have anything else to do. Why'd you follow me anyway?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZt0NInuOd
"I actually came here for a pastry.." he reaches behind her to grab a tart from the tray on the table, taking a bite and getting jam and whipped cream on his face.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54eAjZwvEK
"Nate, you dumbass..."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYvJ7lebOl
"Hm?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeK7RoauFKn
"You have jam and crap all over your face.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrEuExSiEg
She pulls a napkin, and is just about to hand it to him, when a voice yells in pain, quieting the party to silence.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqZY4CrM6D
"...What's going on?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb5qZIj0rw
"I am not sure."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8BC9AolN2
"...Boost me."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJHqvvsFFf
"What?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPBQ5mentD
Catherine struggles to climb up Nathaniel. Once she reaches his shoulders, her eyes catch something unexpected.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyPMaNMcOh
"It's...Chrono.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ7z19JU4Z
The two push participants out of the way.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLL1a3XxeM
"I was worried about his hands and..." a girl whispered towards them.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB19FkHVNN
"Don't worry, we've got this."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tDPGynMVD
It seems like his Gift was finally coming into play.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmmrWhAqxy
"Chrono...are you alright?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMx5Wz2DzQ
Chrono grabs the edge of Catherine's dress to pull himself up.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8o6VJDGiiX
"I'm fine, really! My Gift just... activated all on it's own.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTHjzakt5a
As he stands up, everyone could see his Gift's true form. His face was plated halfway with gold, just as his arms were.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh2z3KXEdV
"But seriously, I'm fine!"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdECUC8e2r1
More of his face became jagged.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3fh404RRM
"... Let's go. Nate, you get Arsenio and Isabelle."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImiCDJDMhv
Catherine pulled Chrono away from the party, taking him back the House of Father Time.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXQ38xwOik
"Okay, Chrono...what happened?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0OcteEv6U
"I-I think the stress...plus the demonstration from this morning..."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEnlVxAj9I
Nathaniel and the others enter the room as more of Chrono's face became encased into more gold. His clothing began to rip as thorns began poking through.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt17404KDUx
"C-Chrono? Are you okay?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IdlhmMZ4w
"I-I am f-fine, Prodigies...this is just what happens...It's a little painful, though..."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSgcdGl2cx
More barbs rip around his body, horns even start to curve from his head.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCV6KhQB3kk
"O-Oh goodness.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jO665S9Qm
"I just have to...fight it. I can't hurt anyone if..."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLts4cYOc78
His breathing gets heavier than stones.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYWDckQ9zE
"Is there anyone we can get for help?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJy9Xpaamp
"You don't need to bring anyone. Just...leave before it.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HvPM96hO6
Without thinking, Chrono threw a glass from a table right beside him.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWxUvMVOul
"Okay okay! Let's calm down.." Arsenio says, recovering from dodging.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGlk6nqwkl
"I-I can't! It's going to..."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVMqwhyWFI
The Prodigies prepare themselves, but they were still unprepared for Chrono's unpredictable speed as he dashed at Catherine and threw her out of the window behind them.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHuyHjnnLq
Catherine simply used Phasing to break her fall, diving into the floor.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7iAXapOde
The voice from before called again. "There she is again!"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJgHaZa7em
"...Who the hell are you? What do you want?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvaniAV5TR
She saw a stripe of bright cyan wave past her. Catherine tried desperately to find where the line went.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoCUGe1yeB
"...Behind you.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPqVTBkkaB
Catherine turned around to see the menacing face of a dragon staring back at her. She was about to take a breath to scream.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42j5kqPFzJ
"Hey, don't scream. I just want to know how you got here."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCBYNihZA4
Catherine confusingly looks.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6uSngyGeP
"This is my Gift...I can phase through crap like it's water. I broke my fall from a building.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWDwv7CrSF
"Oh, you must be the person I marked yesterday. Makes sense, I guess.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxw7XyvOT3
"M-Marked?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKOaGAupQ6
"That itch you could never satisfy." It points towards Catherine's neck.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIUhvoJY5u
"...Wait, that was you?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwzWkEDxEz
The serpent playfully clears it's throat before bellowing menacingly.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ly4h37zJj
"Allow me to become you, and I shall spare your life!"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOPh3QwO94
"...Do I get other abilities other than falling through stuff?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpCVkKFfcC
The dragon shrugs. "I think so?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFWMoEynIm
"Great. Come on then."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlCfgLh7ay
It phases through Catherine, unlocking a surge of energy and power within her.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZCk6hdHby
Catherine climbs out of the dimension as the others were looking for her.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwGj1EGjgw
"Sorry if I scared you guys.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rSexWDj8L
"Catherine! Y-you're okay!"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAo8Xf3r4b
"Yeah, I just got a new friend."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGbo5Fap9X
The dragon only appeared as a ghost coiled around her body.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg4XO6t53g
"And her name is?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq50AivVDym
"Not sure.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKK9E7yWme
Like a ghost, the dragon swapped her soul with Catherine's.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonEkQZsxaZ
"Piravit. My name is Piravit, the Spiritual Dragon of Phasing. I have chosen Catherine here as my host..."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Cga5p9DqG
"Thou is...possessing her.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq537WmaGM
"Oh no, she agreed to this. It's more of a symbiotic relationship. I get to go to stay here in her body, and she gets my strength."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9qDySJ4ox
"Cool. Now...about him.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QLI1YKv3r
Arsenio points at the shattered window that Catherine fell out of.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LgR1CIC4Q
Chrono's roar echoed throughout the realm as he perched on the window.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9FwOn5YeL
"Oi! You have some explaining to do!"
Catherine says as she takes back control of her body.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1F2QHKYGzO
"...Catherine, that's the Time Beast!"
Piravit says as a echoing voice inside her head.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkuIRI2Mil
"Eh? That's Chrono, that's just his Gift."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j9AP5a1QV
"Like you, he's been marked. If he sees me with you, he'll kill us both!"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8fkK2sjkd
As on cue, Chrono jumps down right in front of Catherine, as if analyzing her. Then with angry aura, throws her again.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTqUfOQtrN
Catherine hits the ground, tumbling.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEK2PNnrdS
She struggles to pick herself up, as Chrono runs towards her.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoO6R7WwaF
"What the hell did you do for him to get pissed off?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOfzDS5yzY
The dragon goes back to it's spiritual state.
"Sooo, about 2,000 years ago...I made a bet with him...I kinda lost said bet and I hid in the Phasing Dimension until someone strong enough could become my host... hehe.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2scsLyjTc
"You have gotta be kidding me!"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wJec6ElR7
"But don't worry! I'm sure if we beat him, he'll come to his senses!"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWyI2JgVmc
Chrono pulls a punch towards them, only to be stopped by Isabelle's thread.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuKezZgOjo
"C-Chrono! You h-have to come t-to your senses!"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdR9PeTzdNj
"Get off!" He returns in a ferocious roar as he cuts the thread with his nails. Isabelle, pained, has to step back and catch her breath.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6bnSSF0m6
"I-I'm sorry...I can't k-keep him still..."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OqgQr1ijw
"It's alright! You've spared me some time!"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY1R6vJjmc
"Let me take over!" Piravit immediately pulls Catherine out, becoming the one in control.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79WONMjBnd
As soon as Chrono began a barrage of punches, Piravit pulls away, but was able to only dodge a few before tanking them.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKQ0p1a5oR
"He's way too fast! I can't get a hit on him!"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t8hUnkcC4
As Chrono kept punching her in the chest, Piravit, in Catherine's body, was thinking of ideas, pondering as hard as her breathing.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NrCph3wlA
Piravit begins to punch rapidly in response, until the two stop.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmXhDpXZOH
"I have to say..." Piravit states tauntingly. " You've given me quite the workout since I left my dimension-"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjNKHAPTfe
While it's still in the middle of it's sentence, Chrono begins to attack again, as Piravit had to take what seemed to be dozens of punches at once.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvpDxI6Inh
"So, p-playing dirty are we?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpSVlN37Hu
Chrono responds with an angry, but silent, glare.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT7xtDyadz
"Great, I like games without rules..."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XJhFjihz3
Piravit phases back into the floor. When they return to the Phasing Dimension, the two separate.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcGkHTN71d
"Okay, so new plan..."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuZ0iYGVja
Catherine coughs as she feels the after effects of earlier.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4iryiFmpx
"You better think of something and fast..."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqxROJEC8f
"There's one last thing we can do, but you have to follow a specific set of rules and-"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCd5laQX3b
"Nevermind... I'll figure something out.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgrrkcoBAr
Catherine jumps from the dimension and behind Chrono, where she sneakily kicks him.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7Ht74T9Xc
Piravit follows shortly behind her.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O36VYzj5t
She kneels down towards Chrono.
"Well? Are you having fun yet? Not fun being attacked without noticing, huh?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zaZY8CDGB
Chrono swipes at Catherine's arm, barely cutting her.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5afKydDB3
"...Nah. Didn't think so.." she says, standing up. "Didn't know you'd get this bad.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7ZLIXQzUY
She picks him up. "Come on. Let's finish this so you can go back to normal at least. I have things to do.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYOIFIn8EP
Catherine stands in a fighting position.
"I'll only use my power alone."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqdmRHiRFU
"Then allow me to join you." Arsenio says, standing beside her.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjfYBGOxdO
"What are you gonna do, flirt him to death?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXuAbybJwu
"I actually had something else in mind.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbooYNxND7
Arsenio was finally able to conjure a Gift, as an arm cannon faded to fit on top of his hand.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYB5kzjVsC
"I wanted to test this thing, you know?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwPA5093zT
"...Whatever."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjszIozSk7B
"Come forward..." Chrono says menacingly.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2regFFidp
"Whatever you say, your Majesty."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qBJQken1E
As the two-on-one began, more of the participants of the ceremony began to watch from a distance.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXPcjxulCH
"Seems like we've made quite an audience.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS1n93hYwi
"Let's make this the best coronation the Time Realm has ever seen.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROA5foea1R
The two Prodigies went two different directions, hoping for one of them to leave an opening for the other, but Chrono had a few more abilities to use to his disposal.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ8pyVOv50
With a sharp yell, time itself began to slow.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqGVEGAGAU
"Damnit! We're stuck until.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEnMb3jYF9
Chrono begins his attack while they're stuck midair within the clutches of time. Catherine can feel the struggle as she tries to move and break herself free, to no avail.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFSLnwS5Mu
She feels the true strength of Chrono as he lands multiple attacks, the pain settling in before she could react. Chrono snaps his fingers, releasing time from it's statue. The sharp, deep pains only burned more as she fell.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0PhhZCKQA
"...I don't think we're gonna make it if he keeps stopping time like that.." She says, spitting up blood and standing up.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs6hAZbkgE
Arsenio reveals the power of his own Gift, as a fiery beam escaped from his hands as a brilliant red. It took Chrono's mind off of Catherine as he tries to block the flame beam with his bare arms.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxji6rtDAf
Catherine jumps up.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMintV2pvAO
"You're welcome!" Arsenio says from afar.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHcmDI2LG5
"Thanks! Keep looking for openings!"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X1taeDrVK
As Arsenio keeps circling the area, and the crowd becomes more congested, Catherine continues to fight, dodging and landing punches. She even managed to crack the golden frame that latched onto Chrono's face. The both of them couldn't tell if they were trembling from fatigue or excitement. Their legs were just about to give in, when Chrono stops attacking.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3iigigQvB
"A-alright...you've proven your worth.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiuQiGd5Lc
"Is this Chrono we're speaking to?" Arsenio asks as his Gift charges up once again and picks Catherine up.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLjqAPj4aD
"I-I'm not sure.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKoymmTCby
"Make sure you're sure. I'd hate to hit you with this thing for no reason."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHpQdlkAg7
"I'm in the conscious of Chrono yes, but..." he looks at his hands and feels against face. "I don't know what body I'm in anymore.."
More cracks split the golden covering, from head to toe.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9atgyGWgW
Chrono shakes his head. "N-nevermind! Let us continue with the celebration, yes?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL6kcy522k
"To be honest, I'm worn out..."
Catherine huffed. "You're like...crazy strong."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyosBo0Zcd
"I-I'll make it up to you, I swear!"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj6GMxjOVI
Piravit peeks from the floor. "Can I come out now?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yvwgIJFRR
"Depends.." Chrono says. "Are you willing to take your side of the deal?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakSuOUxW5O
"Eep!" Piravit says, coiling itself around Catherine and hiding behind her. "A-Ah! My part of the deal...?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSugqVtalk
"You shall give me full entry to your dimension. That was your promise to me."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivEPTJCQoO
"...Fine. But you can't keep using Chrono as a vessel for your battles."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9sYANOKg5
Chrono stares for a second, before hitting the ground, parts of his golden shell chipping off.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg09gbiuxL3
The Time Beast appears as a ghost, similar to Piravit, above Chrono's body. His body pulls from the floor, as he dusts himself off.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd9WaGhnbC
"He's suppressed his power...I think."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7OijI4fNp
"Wait, they have a gender?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkgfwGzD29
"Yeah..." Piravit answered. "It is quite obvious that I'm female. No whiskers, see?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQlqUCWSzN
"I guess.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6mRAzCUWB
"Catherine! Arsenio!" Isabelle says, stumbling her own feet. "A-Are you two alright?"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDP89ty8Pm
"I'm good. Not sure about Catherine though."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkKpuG4TVe
"Nah, I'll be alright. I don't think he broke anything."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt13pnBfVOp
Nathaniel also approaches them with another tart in hand.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbzT7zb5Gb
"Nate! You just had one of those things!"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM2stPZLDL
"I must try every single flavor." He says taking another giant bite.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD7JhbzJoC
"..M-Maybe we should g-go.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk3PEUXyaF
"Are you sure? We can just...continue the party as normal.."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2v8ZCJrQz
Arsenio shrugs. "Seems like a plan to me."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuaSbkK96a
Slowly, the music begins to play. Partners begin to group together. It was like the party was uninterrupted the entire time.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCQNL8HXxO
The Prodigies were peppered with compliments of their strength, but eventually, the other participants calmed down and went back to chat amongst themselves. The Prodigies had fun eating and dancing to the music that wafted throughout the realm air.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFeqolOcmk
After the party, the Prodigies carried Chrono back into the House of Father Time.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqlx5enuFP
"Thank you, you four. Hopefully I can get around with solving some of your Timebreaker problems sometime!"
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4rAHNrOen
"We'd greatly appreciate it. We don't know how strong the next one'll be."
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh6l0npysA
Chrono waves them away as they go back to the Sanctuary. Ezra was already asleep when they returned, wrapped up in a blanket.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqWsig6CwO
"Well, we should get some rest too."
Catherine announced.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKMBDpz6ZI
"Way ahead of you." Arsenio says, dropping into the bed.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0NjdDD0MK
Everyone puts themselves to bed for the night, and the Prodigies fall asleep.
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNhaioOTMR
Silently, in the middle of the night, someone's Tempural Energy swarmed the room...
339Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPxo1vFVA8
