"Rise and shine, Prodigies!" Verna's peppy voice awoken the group. "Let's get ready for the coronation of Father Time today!"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqMPBpjzkr
Catherine scratches her neck as she pushes the quilt off. "Coronation?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVTCGagxfG
"Apparently, a new Father Time is to be crowned today." Nathaniel states, stretching.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8dMi6TeT3
"Your mission today is to just watch over the new guy before the celebration begins. Pretty easy, right?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNO2H1x7v0
"Wait...our job today is to be a goddamn babysitter?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANERYZKSN8
"If that's how you view it, yes. But as a reward, you get to go to the after-party!"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYqvMSmUlD
"That at least solves dinner..." Ezra thinks aloud.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB3eLFc1Ei
"Breakfast will be served once you get there, so just put on your clothes and shoes and...look a little presentable.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvL14kgu4p
"No prob.." Arsenio says. "Let me just get my morning tea before I go.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbap8gmWLWt
"T-Tea?" Isabelle asks while brushing her hair.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7dKbwnbJ0
"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."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JN8RoGoO0
"...Alright then..." Arsenio says, slowly sitting down and sliding his hands in his coat pockets. "I'll just wait until later then.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa2sTf0cPy
"Is everyone ready?" Verna asks, peeking into the room as she does so.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco5dfg2B5I
"I think so.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmUN9tBJfE
"Good, good!" she fully opens the doors to let the Prodigies out. "Then, let's go, shall we?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeVfsZaRFZ
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8mZ0BkHRo
"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."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvAfcpGZUz
"...Is it because he's blonde?" Catherine remarked.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRR8owgFxt
"... That might have had a influence on the nickname, yes."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XK0T3KGsE
They watched as walked stone faced across to the home of Father Time.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl31nkQasF
"Let's go." Verna says, instructing them to follow Chrono.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98YYimn9Ta
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pXcI5UYql
"Hello?" Catherine waited for a response.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgjn0WgsQ7
"J-Just a minute!" A voice called out before crashing and falling is heard. Then, from the stairs emerged Chrono.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuMFUsBV6Q
"Verna, very nice to see you again. And these four might be?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDxgJEjDhF
"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."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcKcfjmlVZ
"I see..."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBZ05dpjBn
"Thanks again for doing this, guys."
Verna time warps away.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ant4iNcde
"...Which one of you is which? I just don't want to be confused.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6gV9KpdWr
They introduce themselves once again, giving him some clarity.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9ejo6wjAz
"Ah, well it's nice to meet all of you."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQSKppfGZA
"Verna t-told us that w-we would have s-some breakfast.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTjXJqRCfu
"Of course. You've come here quite early, so I'm sure you four are starving."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpds1LgQHLO
"Yeah..." Catherine agreed, lightly holding her stomach.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvovcvThF6
"I thought so. I've prepared something, so don't worry."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNISO9s34tu
Chrono brandishes a golden door, which he promptly throws open and reveals some nice breakfast meals, already plated and ready to eat.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxw9GxykzM
"You m-made all of this yourself?!" Catherine exclaimed, impressed.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTNgM0n1B9
"I was just planning on making food for myself, but I didn't want to be rude.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTT4inzYyY
"It does look rather...delectable..." Nathaniel says, clearing his throat.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF02URuRsBU
"Well, shall we eat or watch it get cold?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQNQ6jQoTr
The four Prodigies and the Son of Time all sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast, basically wolfing down the entire plate before them.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlykAqk5Hz
"Man, that was good..." Arsenio says, stretching in his seat.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXOKjeqDW8
"I'm glad you enjoyed. It's very difficult to find people who enjoy similar interests to me."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf02CZZCG0w
"Now what? Do you just read books and whatnot?" Catherine asked, taking the last sip of her drink.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8H3Xv7Zxj
"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.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKf8Rw8kIr
"Then why not join us? From what we've experienced, we certainly need the help." Arsenio asks, leaned back in his chair.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw9yr8FRo5
"I was never suited for things like that, unfortunately..." Chrono sighs. "My Gift is also a little...hard to control."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6ub0fjpdB
"...Can we see it?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulkKHizWH9
Chrono begins to rub his arms as guilt and embarrassment threw itself on his face.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn1Xv4P0iC
"You can say no, you know..." Catherine speaks. "No one's forcing you."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzXK2BtUv6
"It's...complicated."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUr9mRlBq2
"That's u-understandable...I have a Gift I can't quite c-control myself..."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02FDOgT2wZ
Dawlly immediately pops itself out of Isabelle's pocket with an annoyed look.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNw0TCRDi1D
"I-It's true..." she looks at Dawlly with the same annoyed look.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHOOQWaNRN
"Interesting.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCneR5pmq4E
"Is there anything else you like to do other than read and fantasize?" Catherine asks.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIB5bnt7dU
"I like to learn more about my Gift."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsVHFMvVsc
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fc7IKoBpQ
"O-oh my.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrDvMz8UjA
"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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsVtvXARl1
"So, what's your Gift? I'm sure you four have gotten one.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG27k9byLxx
Catherine nudges Nathaniel. "You show yours first. You're the supposed leader."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7JDbSXDFB
"I have never said that I was a leader..."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3Ua3LhVxF
"W-Well..." Isabelle added. "You d-do know the most out of all of us..."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WUaGTffLp
"...Fine.." Nathaniel reluctantly agrees.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnz73zDf8p
First, his arm, then up to his shoulder, until his entire body was covered in armor.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58PNaVlci8
"You never told me you could do that.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXXFunpIF0
"I feel as if there is... no need to use the full Gift. It is...uncomfortable.." He speaks from within the suit.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVXSpzuhN7
"Well, get the hell out of it then..."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyuGFmqnxN
He removes himself from the armor, reverting back to his velvet clothes.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00AbDi3U7i
"Well, since thou wants to assume roles, maybe thou would like to go next, co-leader?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKtV0z05OL
"Of course you pin this crap on me.." Catherine growled. "But sure, why not?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2wegXipoK
She slips through her chair, and all the way through the floor.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQHy1rvH4W
It was like she was in her own dimension, her escape from reality. She swam around as she heard the others from above.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrtndKAPVE
That's when she heard a voice calling her name from the distance.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5qDMaz0hd
"Hello?" The voice creepily whispered.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWksvnsLkXJ
"The hell?" She exclaimed. That freaked her out enough to pull herself out of the Phasing dimension.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpGSEiUqLc
She gasped, as if she was underwater when she crawled out.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvalGV9m5R
"You alright? You've been in the floor for quite a while..." Arsenio mentioned.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtuDbwVK9T
"...Yeah, something just... freaked me out.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKDrUqjp2S
She slides back in her seat...
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p8pLi6zvZ
"I-I'll go next..." Isabelle announces. Within seconds, the threads began pulling themselves out of her sleeves.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGmMUbKcfn
"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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4tiIqI17J
"I just had to wake up today! Is it wrong to get some sleep around here?!"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIPaupfNxI
Dawlly smiles innocently as Isabelle continues to roar.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEEzzRBj99
"Don't worry, I've got this.." Arsenio stands up. "Trust me, my charm is irresistible."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWWlumYR3j
He grabs her wrists, looks her deep into her eyes..
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T5OYYCEmy
"Ah, great..." Catherine grumbled, rolling her eyes.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmswSN1PWk
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that you look adorable when you're angry?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkArU102Dht
Isabelle, easily flustered and caught off guard, immediately snaps back to her timid self.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkpBTGFBPk
"See?" He points out. "It's like a secret perk I have." He starts throwing up two pieces of jewelry.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkWdb6o4Q4
Isabelle immediately feels her ears.
"M-my earrings!"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC65UdEMtih
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."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLIw5Jhgjv
Isabelle just kept turning red as she puts back on her earrings.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsQ1pWGeKs
"So, you yourself do not have a Gift just yet, Arsenio?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowz8LGYfbz
"I haven't really felt anything, so no...I think."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsVCQ9G37r
Outside, bells begin to ring. Chrono looks up at the clock sitting across the room from him on the wall.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw0v5Z8pw5
"Ah...only an hour left..."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRqT5mqptf
"Is there anything else thou wants to say to us before thou becomes Father Time?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlwdADEe3p
"Use your Gift well, and I hope we get to see each other more in the future."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFLkGOZGwb
Chrono smiles genuinely.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfTxmpajDb
"So, what now?" Arsenio says, picking his teeth.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaDtjpsKk5
"Well, if you four are attending the ceremony, you'll have to be properly dressed."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAI4IrtK3s
"Well, Verna could've told us that earlier.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBoN9PNLMF
"Don't worry, we have a public closet full of gowns and suits for you to wear."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLxnxJmVRu
Chrono stands up, leads them upstairs and pulls open a closet door.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcQ8ckbxs3
There were attire in every color of the rainbow.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgkSNQ5opv
"Hey, now this is nice!" Catherine says, walking into the spacious closet.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO7v7eH01V
"Don't be afraid to pick whatever you want!" Chrono says, leaving.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4t4VPOVCiV
Trying to decide what attire to wear, the Prodigies pick the most extravagant and dazzling outfit that fit them the most.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3p1QF8S1Ec
The four take turns putting on their new clothes, which gleamed and twinkled in the light. Once the four return to the closet.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8aIwtbfRd
"Looking nice girls.." Arsenio says.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ959viESP9j
"These shoes are gonna kill me later, but yeah, thanks.."
Catherine complained.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5lBlrvN1A
"Now that that portion has been completed.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXjKwYfQQP
Nathaniel grabs Arsenio by the shoulder.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUJXH8XytR
"Arsenio. Thou shall come with me."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoWQ129AP0
He drags him away.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1BS3ClyOJ
"Hey uh, Nathaniel, what are you trying to do?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G6KeKa0C3
"We must fix this hair of thine.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBfYGasCBd
"Wait...Nate no, my hair is fine-"
Nathaniel pulls Arsenio outside.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgLh4giHTQ
"Well, it w-wouldn't be too wrong to d-do the same, would it?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfRPJHBMUg
"No, we can take turns doing each other's hair. That seems hella fun!"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sSi64wX3V
"O-okay!"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVhfBvcinw
Isabelle finds some combs, brushes, and hair accessories.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQrHDD1zwt
"N-now, what kind of hairstyle would you want?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Mz7JSi1vR
"Something simple, I guess. Not trying to impress anyone.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81NVaON2LA
Isabelle gets to unbraiding Catherine's hair, carefully and gracefully taking it apart. In the middle of brushing however, Isabelle stops.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQWrfeS8Vd
"Uhm...Catherine?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sPDVojwse
"Yeah?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEIacYi1uA
"There's a m-mark or something...on your neck.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2osaMhYizi
"Huh? What does it look like?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqBvZ5kuQo
"It l-looks like something scratched you... you didn't g-get attacked b-by anything, did you?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaai4xVWC2Y
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.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIWtXoKchp
"D-Do you have any allergies?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLtZN3kcnM
"I'm not supposed to."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeyheYfS9Y
"...Oh my.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCYoaw4i1l
"I'm not too worried about it... it'll clear up soon..."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYM0rg9X8F
"...If you say so.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1zf97yXkh
Isabelle continues to brush and straighten Catherine's hair. Before she knew it, Isabelle was already putting a flower pin neatly upon her head.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rdRlUjykI
Isabelle puts a mirror in front of her face. "T-Tada!"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wETpsJh0H
"Oh damn. That's actually really good."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQN4eMMi7Z
"T-thank you.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7BdJjPrOW
They switch positions, with Catherine sitting behind Isabelle to do her hair.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBM9Jt756C
"Is there anything specific you want to get?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqB0zYg2LtV
"U-Uhm.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaAce78uxB
"Oh wait, I actually learned how to do this one hairstyle, French roll or something like that?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ebNSP02DB
"Okay, that one t-then.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9N7OVju84
"Alright."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02zWLpRV2Q
Catherine gathers all of Isabelle's hair, pulling it together, wrapping it around itself, until it looks like the hairstyle.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnWrq8yLyk
"Crap, I don't have any hair pins.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9wrPO2Vqc
"D-don't worry, I have a backup.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRMBs9ACUz
With her Gift, Isabelle sews the updo together until it fits securely, then places her own pin into her head.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk20oI2DGD1
"...That works too.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkMD3yE5aj
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dqMw5r0Ry
"I still don't get why you did this, it was fine as it is.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVLS3Wibqs
"Trust me, thou would rather look like this."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNEgUbSp3f
"I see the boys didn't have a good time picking out hairstyles." Catherine taunted.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYFcblvCcd
"T-They do seem to be in a debate.." Isabelle added.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nvc7UZHi8
"It's gonna take forever to put my hair back now.." Arsenio protested.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6a6EeMpgx
"Let's not w-worry about that... we're supposed t-to have fun.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdah5vvnOF
"Yeah, I guess that's true..."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQgDgLujN6
There was thirty more minutes left. Still plenty of time to waste. Chrono comes back to check on them.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx8nH8m50R
"Ah, looking exquisite Prodigies!" Chrono praises them. "I'm sure you'll be the best looking ones out there!"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl8HIBXXMP
"Eh, I doubt it, but I feel a lot prettier in this poofy thing.." Catherine flutters the ends of her dress.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM6UDJTOAD
"Ah, don't be so modest, you look great!"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaK0s4zU5O
"Well, we still have lots of time. What should we do until then?" Arsenio asks.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7Yvi0eDQV
"Why wait?" Chrono asks. "I can manipulate time at will. I'll just skip time a few minutes.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAK2pgvXmZ
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpnYwpCKXQ
"...That was...strange."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35kTJmkVpY
"Let's go. The ceremony's about to start."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uvYm9xKQY
Catherine pushes Chrono out of the door. "We're right behind you, don't worry."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hzI9MNsyp
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpM9Hzpz6PF
The crowd begins to applaud as Verna appears behind Chrono. She clears her throat.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGxzAXafro
"Welcome everyone, to Chrono's coronation. It's been a while since we've had one of these, huh?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vFMicbfjj
The crowd erupted into light laughter.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwQjUcYanJ
"Anyways," she continued. "let's get to the best part."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGKmLSRbOc
She turns Chrono around, hold his hands gently.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMiOZB8DSR
"Do you solemnly swear, as long as you live, that you will fairly rule over the Time Realm?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzCvwD70EO
Chrono silently nods.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKVG020C9T
Verna releases his hands, opens her own, and in them, appears an extravagant crown which seemed to glow in the light.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J3V3TQIzj
"Well then," she places it upon his head. "..you are now Father Time."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvAL3wVF7B
Everyone explodes into cheers. The Prodigies couldn't help but clap along.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtO7dICjEO
"Now, let us commence. Grab a partner, for the party is about to begin!"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3ELv2oHVq
Groups begin to pull apart into parties of two, music begins to fade in.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpf4rZlANc
Catherine feels fluttery from the tension.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo13IUlSHpZ
"...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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0855Y7KRj
"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."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDUburA6Ot
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsUFdxSzb6
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5JeXLOjIF
"Does thou plan to do this at every party?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHiSfsGsFo
Catherine finds the source of the tension. She knew Nathaniel was standing behind her the entire time. Without looking back, she responds.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuAYcGe7VQ
"I don't have anything else to do. Why'd you follow me anyway?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m7cwPFlLn
"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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2PvlN8bxG
"Nate, you dumbass..."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVJlKcPE7G
"Hm?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3830c0bEd
"You have jam and crap all over your face.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajs2D4jm6e
She pulls a napkin, and is just about to hand it to him, when a voice yells in pain, quieting the party to silence.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4XS1KCJH3
"...What's going on?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvJsAwnU5u
"I am not sure."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjp9bXRr8J
"...Boost me."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIB7KACeGl
"What?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bIzg4Srw9
Catherine struggles to climb up Nathaniel. Once she reaches his shoulders, her eyes catch something unexpected.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCNj8trxZE
"It's...Chrono.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TlYJ5iXcY
The two push participants out of the way.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGPchNFsXD
"I was worried about his hands and..." a girl whispered towards them.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd74xSGzLci
"Don't worry, we've got this."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTggC34rjZ
It seems like his Gift was finally coming into play.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1heVmkQJQT
"Chrono...are you alright?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRrs2rZUbM
Chrono grabs the edge of Catherine's dress to pull himself up.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXquIu01V5
"I'm fine, really! My Gift just... activated all on it's own.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3GJiJS9R6
As he stands up, everyone could see his Gift's true form. His face was plated halfway with gold, just as his arms were.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7rUCOd8QJ
"But seriously, I'm fine!"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wU8GQndvW
More of his face became jagged.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrCKg4bGdg
"... Let's go. Nate, you get Arsenio and Isabelle."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd537MHYMmX
Catherine pulled Chrono away from the party, taking him back the House of Father Time.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpwxTqGIj2
"Okay, Chrono...what happened?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OiYcoloMR
"I-I think the stress...plus the demonstration from this morning..."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET366oPaJW
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i44XoWV2L
"C-Chrono? Are you okay?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXaLRIKvMx
"I-I am f-fine, Prodigies...this is just what happens...It's a little painful, though..."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpDONOdXFy
More barbs rip around his body, horns even start to curve from his head.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtgZTNOI4S
"O-Oh goodness.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmhleXc0Zq
"I just have to...fight it. I can't hurt anyone if..."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fDisNEM81
His breathing gets heavier than stones.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxVio6aP2m
"Is there anyone we can get for help?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2H3wivqy3
"You don't need to bring anyone. Just...leave before it.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvYlKEzTv5
Without thinking, Chrono threw a glass from a table right beside him.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjt3Oy4wXqk
"Okay okay! Let's calm down.." Arsenio says, recovering from dodging.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvRcSyuOiT
"I-I can't! It's going to..."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYnl5taLgM
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDtI3KOs4I
Catherine simply used Phasing to break her fall, diving into the floor.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx13meXE4CB
The voice from before called again. "There she is again!"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5p0cUBHma7
"...Who the hell are you? What do you want?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4YgHWBhMn
She saw a stripe of bright cyan wave past her. Catherine tried desperately to find where the line went.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a1GwAtwyk
"...Behind you.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1DTvJCVQG
Catherine turned around to see the menacing face of a dragon staring back at her. She was about to take a breath to scream.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkLwfGVyRZ
"Hey, don't scream. I just want to know how you got here."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6dBAf4wRF
Catherine confusingly looks.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ737Q2fy7
"This is my Gift...I can phase through crap like it's water. I broke my fall from a building.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBecqEKyVTh
"Oh, you must be the person I marked yesterday. Makes sense, I guess.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9u9iZA6Gh
"M-Marked?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1URH5m0bT
"That itch you could never satisfy." It points towards Catherine's neck.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0nECyW7Ue
"...Wait, that was you?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf9ZYuuzCI
The serpent playfully clears it's throat before bellowing menacingly.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv66wUpPXc
"Allow me to become you, and I shall spare your life!"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMPOydNe5b
"...Do I get other abilities other than falling through stuff?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihBJiIsyiK
The dragon shrugs. "I think so?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7QYBjsIfQ
"Great. Come on then."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpU7n7nb5g
It phases through Catherine, unlocking a surge of energy and power within her.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddoKr3dHJ4
Catherine climbs out of the dimension as the others were looking for her.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzelG480L1
"Sorry if I scared you guys.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlebJBLv0xF
"Catherine! Y-you're okay!"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtDbdgN8tl
"Yeah, I just got a new friend."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuy9hUo71h
The dragon only appeared as a ghost coiled around her body.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IIGq3XZRw
"And her name is?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoZEmkf08c
"Not sure.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIoSNMn6dU
Like a ghost, the dragon swapped her soul with Catherine's.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZkOpNS59r
"Piravit. My name is Piravit, the Spiritual Dragon of Phasing. I have chosen Catherine here as my host..."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtaIIJtgBL
"Thou is...possessing her.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczbpOqjTMt
"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."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgS9lNKyWf
"Cool. Now...about him.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapPJeS3Vb9
Arsenio points at the shattered window that Catherine fell out of.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ddh7gYm27
Chrono's roar echoed throughout the realm as he perched on the window.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvNDtqQxvZ
"Oi! You have some explaining to do!"
Catherine says as she takes back control of her body.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot2vgqhG7W
"...Catherine, that's the Time Beast!"
Piravit says as a echoing voice inside her head.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWTRNp7kT3
"Eh? That's Chrono, that's just his Gift."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lvpGQ9rf0
"Like you, he's been marked. If he sees me with you, he'll kill us both!"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuuukbcLnU
As on cue, Chrono jumps down right in front of Catherine, as if analyzing her. Then with angry aura, throws her again.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyrdzs6l1A
Catherine hits the ground, tumbling.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtSueg8M03
She struggles to pick herself up, as Chrono runs towards her.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ299qMgm9jS
"What the hell did you do for him to get pissed off?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhU4EUHtXv
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.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNfdsrxMFs
"You have gotta be kidding me!"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNijdRnGIB
"But don't worry! I'm sure if we beat him, he'll come to his senses!"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcvDbIT4jL
Chrono pulls a punch towards them, only to be stopped by Isabelle's thread.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRxvspWlaD
"C-Chrono! You h-have to come t-to your senses!"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5UiHEk0pd
"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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc0M1MCEFu
"I-I'm sorry...I can't k-keep him still..."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk0VgxfDqO
"It's alright! You've spared me some time!"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WuQRUXVdK
"Let me take over!" Piravit immediately pulls Catherine out, becoming the one in control.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivWiEYhxEB
As soon as Chrono began a barrage of punches, Piravit pulls away, but was able to only dodge a few before tanking them.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJuZmym52r
"He's way too fast! I can't get a hit on him!"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxQGO5otm1
As Chrono kept punching her in the chest, Piravit, in Catherine's body, was thinking of ideas, pondering as hard as her breathing.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlh6lmWGhA
Piravit begins to punch rapidly in response, until the two stop.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXdysHdqcU
"I have to say..." Piravit states tauntingly. " You've given me quite the workout since I left my dimension-"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZumR4mfoto
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrQW3rEGL7
"So, p-playing dirty are we?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUo17jV58yg
Chrono responds with an angry, but silent, glare.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXc15h3w5B
"Great, I like games without rules..."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mjPimpf5s
Piravit phases back into the floor. When they return to the Phasing Dimension, the two separate.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7mlNmeysb
"Okay, so new plan..."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfVuPKsfOB
Catherine coughs as she feels the after effects of earlier.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPWhhmb1yD
"You better think of something and fast..."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADVr7gq1bX
"There's one last thing we can do, but you have to follow a specific set of rules and-"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmSQJxL8dK
"Nevermind... I'll figure something out.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhltWeJr3BZ
Catherine jumps from the dimension and behind Chrono, where she sneakily kicks him.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TucfrjemR
Piravit follows shortly behind her.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIESA8INxK
She kneels down towards Chrono.
"Well? Are you having fun yet? Not fun being attacked without noticing, huh?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10sr46qh9b
Chrono swipes at Catherine's arm, barely cutting her.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNQRh5mFXT
"...Nah. Didn't think so.." she says, standing up. "Didn't know you'd get this bad.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03wsgG3Wzg
She picks him up. "Come on. Let's finish this so you can go back to normal at least. I have things to do.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTLT317OI5
Catherine stands in a fighting position.
"I'll only use my power alone."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvUWfvzTSq
"Then allow me to join you." Arsenio says, standing beside her.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkroPiMHbI
"What are you gonna do, flirt him to death?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0OD3Q2DsC
"I actually had something else in mind.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDJ1mtD4H4
Arsenio was finally able to conjure a Gift, as an arm cannon faded to fit on top of his hand.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iYIN3cwag
"I wanted to test this thing, you know?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6DovPEayu
"...Whatever."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpSWO8GGiX
"Come forward..." Chrono says menacingly.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCPFuSJcLk
"Whatever you say, your Majesty."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZI0mqvCQt
As the two-on-one began, more of the participants of the ceremony began to watch from a distance.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrY7axDJGzu
"Seems like we've made quite an audience.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W25TXCgt2
"Let's make this the best coronation the Time Realm has ever seen.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgCvHorcp3
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRXXgBNLhc
With a sharp yell, time itself began to slow.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eyjMZFJQM
"Damnit! We're stuck until.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7ZbKzkbuD
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa8lm5V9Tp
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwTqGQrhQY
"...I don't think we're gonna make it if he keeps stopping time like that.." She says, spitting up blood and standing up.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFX7kbNtKC
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkah6mG7fd
Catherine jumps up.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PWWoo0oer
"You're welcome!" Arsenio says from afar.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiwrLdvBV8
"Thanks! Keep looking for openings!"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHX5ONlUyC
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iqj32hXeT
"A-alright...you've proven your worth.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMYgfotlq2
"Is this Chrono we're speaking to?" Arsenio asks as his Gift charges up once again and picks Catherine up.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eIimycwwK
"I-I'm not sure.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFbuQhDUge
"Make sure you're sure. I'd hate to hit you with this thing for no reason."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSwzbOE2sw
"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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc2O3UoQeX
Chrono shakes his head. "N-nevermind! Let us continue with the celebration, yes?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4qFQ4NAO2
"To be honest, I'm worn out..."
Catherine huffed. "You're like...crazy strong."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIFAphZvKp
"I-I'll make it up to you, I swear!"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMbGWqKo4H
Piravit peeks from the floor. "Can I come out now?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUghoB8d2oD
"Depends.." Chrono says. "Are you willing to take your side of the deal?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnLzuXW0Td
"Eep!" Piravit says, coiling itself around Catherine and hiding behind her. "A-Ah! My part of the deal...?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKDx7KEJBo
"You shall give me full entry to your dimension. That was your promise to me."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8syLZj9ik
"...Fine. But you can't keep using Chrono as a vessel for your battles."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hWpMOAdvL
Chrono stares for a second, before hitting the ground, parts of his golden shell chipping off.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLisYxhNmy
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvm6Q7xus8
"He's suppressed his power...I think."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9OuvpCCLP
"Wait, they have a gender?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBtW4Q6F3Z
"Yeah..." Piravit answered. "It is quite obvious that I'm female. No whiskers, see?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP9U6iuk1X
"I guess.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaBpVNrLmE
"Catherine! Arsenio!" Isabelle says, stumbling her own feet. "A-Are you two alright?"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PWm4MFAmY
"I'm good. Not sure about Catherine though."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cbEVnr9rC
"Nah, I'll be alright. I don't think he broke anything."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplYgqEcx9s
Nathaniel also approaches them with another tart in hand.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOT3wBm8F9
"Nate! You just had one of those things!"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshamPwJ4i2
"I must try every single flavor." He says taking another giant bite.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWIY11dPy0
"..M-Maybe we should g-go.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzN5uS0tlX
"Are you sure? We can just...continue the party as normal.."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFvXdLVBfJ
Arsenio shrugs. "Seems like a plan to me."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZcfUdiBTG
Slowly, the music begins to play. Partners begin to group together. It was like the party was uninterrupted the entire time.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvDSa8zua5
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.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3ILjaELmy
After the party, the Prodigies carried Chrono back into the House of Father Time.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvJPL6yWhz
"Thank you, you four. Hopefully I can get around with solving some of your Timebreaker problems sometime!"
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAF1P5OhJ2
"We'd greatly appreciate it. We don't know how strong the next one'll be."
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHJ5WNCS84
Chrono waves them away as they go back to the Sanctuary. Ezra was already asleep when they returned, wrapped up in a blanket.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2uxx3yahN
"Well, we should get some rest too."
Catherine announced.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGSJ4cwsc1
"Way ahead of you." Arsenio says, dropping into the bed.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmr5RogKQm
Everyone puts themselves to bed for the night, and the Prodigies fall asleep.
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XKfSawSFR
Silently, in the middle of the night, someone's Tempural Energy swarmed the room...
340Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCVaP6Wp4z
