"Rise and shine, Prodigies!" Verna's peppy voice awoken the group. "Let's get ready for the coronation of Father Time today!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNH1EZJljr
Catherine scratches her neck as she pushes the quilt off. "Coronation?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo7Z48a28E
"Apparently, a new Father Time is to be crowned today." Nathaniel states, stretching.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOqFzvQIE3
"Your mission today is to just watch over the new guy before the celebration begins. Pretty easy, right?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X0erpQHZM
"Wait...our job today is to be a goddamn babysitter?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXEQ8XA6RE
"If that's how you view it, yes. But as a reward, you get to go to the after-party!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26icmdqhiK
"That at least solves dinner..." Ezra thinks aloud.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZeLNlXP7Z
"Breakfast will be served once you get there, so just put on your clothes and shoes and...look a little presentable.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSys2b22HPP
"No prob.." Arsenio says. "Let me just get my morning tea before I go.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1I4JiPugP
"T-Tea?" Isabelle asks while brushing her hair.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sDnW1Gd53
"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."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrc3cPWjCQ
"...Alright then..." Arsenio says, slowly sitting down and sliding his hands in his coat pockets. "I'll just wait until later then.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrfQtvBJtO
"Is everyone ready?" Verna asks, peeking into the room as she does so.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWcnh5Nryb
"I think so.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDGwdy3DG7
"Good, good!" she fully opens the doors to let the Prodigies out. "Then, let's go, shall we?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsNEJGx2mP
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZFwlk4jJV
"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."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ag7sQY3SE
"...Is it because he's blonde?" Catherine remarked.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1sHi86Ed2
"... That might have had a influence on the nickname, yes."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbhUvBmuho
They watched as walked stone faced across to the home of Father Time.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF2e0v7tts
"Let's go." Verna says, instructing them to follow Chrono.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiUpoCU0Ko
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaWBripq0q
"Hello?" Catherine waited for a response.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9BCXZUs1u
"J-Just a minute!" A voice called out before crashing and falling is heard. Then, from the stairs emerged Chrono.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1m1CdxvCh
"Verna, very nice to see you again. And these four might be?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlFcIbDKot
"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."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR51iHeOh7l
"I see..."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8Ao4MfN8l
"Thanks again for doing this, guys."
Verna time warps away.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3k8VV6E6L
"...Which one of you is which? I just don't want to be confused.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyDMe0qBWm
They introduce themselves once again, giving him some clarity.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUphJSlS7Q
"Ah, well it's nice to meet all of you."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mfa5N7xED
"Verna t-told us that w-we would have s-some breakfast.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX5OClyNVx
"Of course. You've come here quite early, so I'm sure you four are starving."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI5VQ5UsFS
"Yeah..." Catherine agreed, lightly holding her stomach.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6fymb8dUV
"I thought so. I've prepared something, so don't worry."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxvLXoynMa
Chrono brandishes a golden door, which he promptly throws open and reveals some nice breakfast meals, already plated and ready to eat.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI0ceDeqDJ
"You m-made all of this yourself?!" Catherine exclaimed, impressed.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nZ5SKeF5Z
"I was just planning on making food for myself, but I didn't want to be rude.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKUD6m9YOJ
"It does look rather...delectable..." Nathaniel says, clearing his throat.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteDCbbnOUl
"Well, shall we eat or watch it get cold?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX1OekDx6i
The four Prodigies and the Son of Time all sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast, basically wolfing down the entire plate before them.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqjPsSIUPB
"Man, that was good..." Arsenio says, stretching in his seat.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfAASzPv7J
"I'm glad you enjoyed. It's very difficult to find people who enjoy similar interests to me."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0TZHk3chG
"Now what? Do you just read books and whatnot?" Catherine asked, taking the last sip of her drink.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirFbvnjQ9k
"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.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKAse7HDYl
"Then why not join us? From what we've experienced, we certainly need the help." Arsenio asks, leaned back in his chair.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahlmw1Phn9
"I was never suited for things like that, unfortunately..." Chrono sighs. "My Gift is also a little...hard to control."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mvuCyOr0f
"...Can we see it?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLxKL2U5fW
Chrono begins to rub his arms as guilt and embarrassment threw itself on his face.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRm0BySxmf
"You can say no, you know..." Catherine speaks. "No one's forcing you."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZwwlKUa1E
"It's...complicated."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWoLE95plV
"That's u-understandable...I have a Gift I can't quite c-control myself..."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyzHN5d0jV
Dawlly immediately pops itself out of Isabelle's pocket with an annoyed look.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTqlSE4wgr
"I-It's true..." she looks at Dawlly with the same annoyed look.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVudq0Rpvkn
"Interesting.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5sWa7pRxt
"Is there anything else you like to do other than read and fantasize?" Catherine asks.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoMFeBa8NV
"I like to learn more about my Gift."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIfDJAkDVX
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB3I2HrjNt
"O-oh my.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkFev03l7Q
"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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle8PYvhGXJ
"So, what's your Gift? I'm sure you four have gotten one.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfOvRGZh6T
Catherine nudges Nathaniel. "You show yours first. You're the supposed leader."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUXX5ip50m
"I have never said that I was a leader..."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAWOadAzMh
"W-Well..." Isabelle added. "You d-do know the most out of all of us..."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKBr1DT6ZF
"...Fine.." Nathaniel reluctantly agrees.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyYcEFgD7n
First, his arm, then up to his shoulder, until his entire body was covered in armor.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQTqkDuryU
"You never told me you could do that.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX4QgGsloZ
"I feel as if there is... no need to use the full Gift. It is...uncomfortable.." He speaks from within the suit.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0lyGZos6j
"Well, get the hell out of it then..."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiam9IKDFH
He removes himself from the armor, reverting back to his velvet clothes.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoGDtv5kDw
"Well, since thou wants to assume roles, maybe thou would like to go next, co-leader?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKGAMamFHL
"Of course you pin this crap on me.." Catherine growled. "But sure, why not?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJp90nhwwX
She slips through her chair, and all the way through the floor.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeoJCPgpGW
It was like she was in her own dimension, her escape from reality. She swam around as she heard the others from above.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lWvIylEOd
That's when she heard a voice calling her name from the distance.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb6uwwi2rr
"Hello?" The voice creepily whispered.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE94sUghK5
"The hell?" She exclaimed. That freaked her out enough to pull herself out of the Phasing dimension.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG40sG9Wbg
She gasped, as if she was underwater when she crawled out.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGYbyf4C0P
"You alright? You've been in the floor for quite a while..." Arsenio mentioned.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRyGzseNTC
"...Yeah, something just... freaked me out.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfauppGRKHT
She slides back in her seat...
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKEdMA3WM8
"I-I'll go next..." Isabelle announces. Within seconds, the threads began pulling themselves out of her sleeves.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW82rBhivBZ
"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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBpWUS9DPs
"I just had to wake up today! Is it wrong to get some sleep around here?!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl8ThapjUi
Dawlly smiles innocently as Isabelle continues to roar.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcpkI8Jxxt
"Don't worry, I've got this.." Arsenio stands up. "Trust me, my charm is irresistible."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoM6fWovMU
He grabs her wrists, looks her deep into her eyes..
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOemb8rEcl
"Ah, great..." Catherine grumbled, rolling her eyes.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtixUHtVwE
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that you look adorable when you're angry?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUsuUOj0Fi
Isabelle, easily flustered and caught off guard, immediately snaps back to her timid self.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcusnjUWtg
"See?" He points out. "It's like a secret perk I have." He starts throwing up two pieces of jewelry.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYqScCAQKN
Isabelle immediately feels her ears.
"M-my earrings!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvI2xsI127
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."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt5KNEnmDl
Isabelle just kept turning red as she puts back on her earrings.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wyMPFVRE3
"So, you yourself do not have a Gift just yet, Arsenio?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSQOA182g7
"I haven't really felt anything, so no...I think."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn9YaE8XrQ
Outside, bells begin to ring. Chrono looks up at the clock sitting across the room from him on the wall.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtIR3Ke07m
"Ah...only an hour left..."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSkUR8bDqB
"Is there anything else thou wants to say to us before thou becomes Father Time?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSfI7PIz6g
"Use your Gift well, and I hope we get to see each other more in the future."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYgCUFO7oW
Chrono smiles genuinely.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwojUnRHD2
"So, what now?" Arsenio says, picking his teeth.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPPkaStboq
"Well, if you four are attending the ceremony, you'll have to be properly dressed."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPo7f3VTg2
"Well, Verna could've told us that earlier.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC0urNhjDu
"Don't worry, we have a public closet full of gowns and suits for you to wear."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOwGs1I8Y8
Chrono stands up, leads them upstairs and pulls open a closet door.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzfZtqIuZx
There were attire in every color of the rainbow.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIWewRYovv
"Hey, now this is nice!" Catherine says, walking into the spacious closet.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdrN2BEEWi
"Don't be afraid to pick whatever you want!" Chrono says, leaving.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dSmUemEQS
Trying to decide what attire to wear, the Prodigies pick the most extravagant and dazzling outfit that fit them the most.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQneElm6lz
The four take turns putting on their new clothes, which gleamed and twinkled in the light. Once the four return to the closet.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2p93X8jcG
"Looking nice girls.." Arsenio says.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHsx0S7Z3W
"These shoes are gonna kill me later, but yeah, thanks.."
Catherine complained.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0BOlUyKNc
"Now that that portion has been completed.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVFhN5qaiG
Nathaniel grabs Arsenio by the shoulder.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP787QyaRz
"Arsenio. Thou shall come with me."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n2Sjqjc6v
He drags him away.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E4aJkUQ2j
"Hey uh, Nathaniel, what are you trying to do?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkutaYcg9Xg
"We must fix this hair of thine.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhITFyFbMo
"Wait...Nate no, my hair is fine-"
Nathaniel pulls Arsenio outside.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfrT9PQX8c
"Well, it w-wouldn't be too wrong to d-do the same, would it?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsF359AyET
"No, we can take turns doing each other's hair. That seems hella fun!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTkBRJ1HSI
"O-okay!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF26vrmmon
Isabelle finds some combs, brushes, and hair accessories.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnXsyxHx1s
"N-now, what kind of hairstyle would you want?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT5P1Btz8t
"Something simple, I guess. Not trying to impress anyone.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LkB33foWk
Isabelle gets to unbraiding Catherine's hair, carefully and gracefully taking it apart. In the middle of brushing however, Isabelle stops.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i1oIdBgpy
"Uhm...Catherine?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtspoVXODhR
"Yeah?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRe3jWd1we
"There's a m-mark or something...on your neck.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEY9zyQjDg
"Huh? What does it look like?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1sQrRAwf1
"It l-looks like something scratched you... you didn't g-get attacked b-by anything, did you?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuybssdQuWI
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.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2g0m71hE7
"D-Do you have any allergies?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sxwmU6W8O
"I'm not supposed to."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3r0xLrnwk
"...Oh my.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnSLTu0bQy
"I'm not too worried about it... it'll clear up soon..."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnguqtSOEyc
"...If you say so.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwhER5Kjjg
Isabelle continues to brush and straighten Catherine's hair. Before she knew it, Isabelle was already putting a flower pin neatly upon her head.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYqEbPnzHz
Isabelle puts a mirror in front of her face. "T-Tada!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rBQZZRXKC
"Oh damn. That's actually really good."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP20KHDB9zX
"T-thank you.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7NxH9s2F6
They switch positions, with Catherine sitting behind Isabelle to do her hair.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5WZeur0F6
"Is there anything specific you want to get?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ3D1llHC6
"U-Uhm.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukcqXupd2E
"Oh wait, I actually learned how to do this one hairstyle, French roll or something like that?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAsYLmq4pZ
"Okay, that one t-then.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gKiX83qBg
"Alright."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyymma27rl
Catherine gathers all of Isabelle's hair, pulling it together, wrapping it around itself, until it looks like the hairstyle.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGTxZO0Qao
"Crap, I don't have any hair pins.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsIcpD8gsT
"D-don't worry, I have a backup.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzZ1grgPad
With her Gift, Isabelle sews the updo together until it fits securely, then places her own pin into her head.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7Pmjc8qoT
"...That works too.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUMvP5Lz13
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJpPMhtAgW
"I still don't get why you did this, it was fine as it is.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdtr7UrYoz
"Trust me, thou would rather look like this."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXERm0TyMy
"I see the boys didn't have a good time picking out hairstyles." Catherine taunted.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhibwuxZPt
"T-They do seem to be in a debate.." Isabelle added.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAJDnNI1l5
"It's gonna take forever to put my hair back now.." Arsenio protested.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeEonVrCz3
"Let's not w-worry about that... we're supposed t-to have fun.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz0FGlm8Rz
"Yeah, I guess that's true..."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39PsJLxsDF
There was thirty more minutes left. Still plenty of time to waste. Chrono comes back to check on them.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDRrTRxRAF
"Ah, looking exquisite Prodigies!" Chrono praises them. "I'm sure you'll be the best looking ones out there!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7l4gNBOH9
"Eh, I doubt it, but I feel a lot prettier in this poofy thing.." Catherine flutters the ends of her dress.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA3LVgCvMD
"Ah, don't be so modest, you look great!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbV7Ci0o6p
"Well, we still have lots of time. What should we do until then?" Arsenio asks.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhBpz3VWnK
"Why wait?" Chrono asks. "I can manipulate time at will. I'll just skip time a few minutes.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJUaPFstCD
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDu63O7RvK
"...That was...strange."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPmX3Efjlv
"Let's go. The ceremony's about to start."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon2mvz146x
Catherine pushes Chrono out of the door. "We're right behind you, don't worry."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr8gqqBz1l
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrLSy87w52
The crowd begins to applaud as Verna appears behind Chrono. She clears her throat.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlOovPE3Cu
"Welcome everyone, to Chrono's coronation. It's been a while since we've had one of these, huh?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRZvxYwFMl
The crowd erupted into light laughter.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjAaoB1tpB
"Anyways," she continued. "let's get to the best part."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVquz6GjWnS
She turns Chrono around, hold his hands gently.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmXJEKTyHx
"Do you solemnly swear, as long as you live, that you will fairly rule over the Time Realm?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5lGRa2Pzg
Chrono silently nods.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCrB8YAEjY
Verna releases his hands, opens her own, and in them, appears an extravagant crown which seemed to glow in the light.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGC1MnVAgl
"Well then," she places it upon his head. "..you are now Father Time."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5jI7VJ4b8
Everyone explodes into cheers. The Prodigies couldn't help but clap along.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYda9laZyS
"Now, let us commence. Grab a partner, for the party is about to begin!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vpQr9ZZcZ
Groups begin to pull apart into parties of two, music begins to fade in.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOza927GqQ
Catherine feels fluttery from the tension.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRBu2zXRUL
"...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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPlS4qugNj
"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."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6CPTUmhZu
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD02LXvek5u
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWpG2CtT1P
"Does thou plan to do this at every party?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwj22R6VNP7
Catherine finds the source of the tension. She knew Nathaniel was standing behind her the entire time. Without looking back, she responds.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0cmnYpU8h
"I don't have anything else to do. Why'd you follow me anyway?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMDq4lEgh6
"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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauKEaSnElH
"Nate, you dumbass..."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWoldY5u5O
"Hm?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJHV20TJ0O
"You have jam and crap all over your face.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwUZEgunvU
She pulls a napkin, and is just about to hand it to him, when a voice yells in pain, quieting the party to silence.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡed6Jy6FQY0
"...What's going on?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmnoj9EkLK
"I am not sure."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntmZ5KbVuu
"...Boost me."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb98Pimyqx
"What?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hd8nUQwdo
Catherine struggles to climb up Nathaniel. Once she reaches his shoulders, her eyes catch something unexpected.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7bM3nJH3e
"It's...Chrono.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRafDnz555
The two push participants out of the way.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnuafAST8w
"I was worried about his hands and..." a girl whispered towards them.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YerHDPSKo
"Don't worry, we've got this."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNnFYrGRR9
It seems like his Gift was finally coming into play.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKeADhSYKd
"Chrono...are you alright?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhzhV9tUvU
Chrono grabs the edge of Catherine's dress to pull himself up.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfwrfTAeHB
"I'm fine, really! My Gift just... activated all on it's own.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0Cn4FvJfR
As he stands up, everyone could see his Gift's true form. His face was plated halfway with gold, just as his arms were.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BX89ssHxl
"But seriously, I'm fine!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LEgA2ZND3
More of his face became jagged.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVLIOGGQY7
"... Let's go. Nate, you get Arsenio and Isabelle."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CBd5yBdUk
Catherine pulled Chrono away from the party, taking him back the House of Father Time.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni3MKNAKCt
"Okay, Chrono...what happened?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogzc6iysB5
"I-I think the stress...plus the demonstration from this morning..."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrMGoAmCcq
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgM8nEUEPu
"C-Chrono? Are you okay?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zfyC9lKtS
"I-I am f-fine, Prodigies...this is just what happens...It's a little painful, though..."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WnJNMqLIM
More barbs rip around his body, horns even start to curve from his head.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSK69hCrEK
"O-Oh goodness.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7gsm2yU69
"I just have to...fight it. I can't hurt anyone if..."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHcs3kuZPe
His breathing gets heavier than stones.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9Lfp0Rl80
"Is there anyone we can get for help?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToyWXVXxlZ
"You don't need to bring anyone. Just...leave before it.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L3Iwabil2
Without thinking, Chrono threw a glass from a table right beside him.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY0dmo6I0S
"Okay okay! Let's calm down.." Arsenio says, recovering from dodging.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn8iETivp1
"I-I can't! It's going to..."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j2M741o5m
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdywAejWJJr
Catherine simply used Phasing to break her fall, diving into the floor.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpKhjOR9lj
The voice from before called again. "There she is again!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPOmXSpfTz
"...Who the hell are you? What do you want?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFDemEyYew
She saw a stripe of bright cyan wave past her. Catherine tried desperately to find where the line went.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb5P9Xghkf
"...Behind you.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqs0NN1C7j
Catherine turned around to see the menacing face of a dragon staring back at her. She was about to take a breath to scream.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx2aVDw5iB
"Hey, don't scream. I just want to know how you got here."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU1ugnIyu1
Catherine confusingly looks.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gTFWL73uH
"This is my Gift...I can phase through crap like it's water. I broke my fall from a building.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnQ3l9Sg3x
"Oh, you must be the person I marked yesterday. Makes sense, I guess.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aYnXjAVQw
"M-Marked?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiS99QoYjdY
"That itch you could never satisfy." It points towards Catherine's neck.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkyUdoVVWA
"...Wait, that was you?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyMLaTT1VM
The serpent playfully clears it's throat before bellowing menacingly.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DpqhT03UR
"Allow me to become you, and I shall spare your life!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m6d3gbLFh
"...Do I get other abilities other than falling through stuff?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTEUGLQEYE
The dragon shrugs. "I think so?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kJbjHtmut
"Great. Come on then."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpeqnO9H4z
It phases through Catherine, unlocking a surge of energy and power within her.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHlaTuKFqm
Catherine climbs out of the dimension as the others were looking for her.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlENHbPgNl
"Sorry if I scared you guys.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbCvqkXaUq
"Catherine! Y-you're okay!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDb7zC9l9fU
"Yeah, I just got a new friend."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iZt2XolNV
The dragon only appeared as a ghost coiled around her body.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP18mvChG6S
"And her name is?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM3EVCnnKx
"Not sure.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftbTAqZt0f
Like a ghost, the dragon swapped her soul with Catherine's.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi7rXZiz7d
"Piravit. My name is Piravit, the Spiritual Dragon of Phasing. I have chosen Catherine here as my host..."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmHwBkY7aw
"Thou is...possessing her.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4kZdOMc07
"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."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xwnGtsvqx
"Cool. Now...about him.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfPdDXJvC1
Arsenio points at the shattered window that Catherine fell out of.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPIaBuRJfK
Chrono's roar echoed throughout the realm as he perched on the window.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQE3XIBFHw
"Oi! You have some explaining to do!"
Catherine says as she takes back control of her body.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3qkXZ0UTq
"...Catherine, that's the Time Beast!"
Piravit says as a echoing voice inside her head.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR85ucEKAVG
"Eh? That's Chrono, that's just his Gift."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmXyleszmK
"Like you, he's been marked. If he sees me with you, he'll kill us both!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1Qyl2MDXG
As on cue, Chrono jumps down right in front of Catherine, as if analyzing her. Then with angry aura, throws her again.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgojuJUVjAZ
Catherine hits the ground, tumbling.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9J1kFTRNp
She struggles to pick herself up, as Chrono runs towards her.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9r6jHVUrv
"What the hell did you do for him to get pissed off?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LHmVk6RKy
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.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7weFfN4VrK
"You have gotta be kidding me!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EBlUVlUli
"But don't worry! I'm sure if we beat him, he'll come to his senses!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbVSgUMy7l
Chrono pulls a punch towards them, only to be stopped by Isabelle's thread.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmATqzn3ji
"C-Chrono! You h-have to come t-to your senses!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd78uliXgrF
"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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VVEFg3zHw
"I-I'm sorry...I can't k-keep him still..."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNth5T8535N
"It's alright! You've spared me some time!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTa2XfUNZN
"Let me take over!" Piravit immediately pulls Catherine out, becoming the one in control.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSBBHdafvz
As soon as Chrono began a barrage of punches, Piravit pulls away, but was able to only dodge a few before tanking them.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtBGYA8R97
"He's way too fast! I can't get a hit on him!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l46HCKfmu
As Chrono kept punching her in the chest, Piravit, in Catherine's body, was thinking of ideas, pondering as hard as her breathing.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsACk9W7FIa
Piravit begins to punch rapidly in response, until the two stop.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAxBHSiste
"I have to say..." Piravit states tauntingly. " You've given me quite the workout since I left my dimension-"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqggBxqlIj
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJyh6p435K
"So, p-playing dirty are we?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTEDaProA2
Chrono responds with an angry, but silent, glare.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxshEQBXId
"Great, I like games without rules..."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFh3RO53B5D
Piravit phases back into the floor. When they return to the Phasing Dimension, the two separate.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5Dt3xIJBu
"Okay, so new plan..."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThixFKaIbF
Catherine coughs as she feels the after effects of earlier.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW6ipNgdfK
"You better think of something and fast..."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dQDC2phGC
"There's one last thing we can do, but you have to follow a specific set of rules and-"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumFLKmTMEW
"Nevermind... I'll figure something out.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNK0wML7wH
Catherine jumps from the dimension and behind Chrono, where she sneakily kicks him.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVrImh33n9
Piravit follows shortly behind her.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVQDJJPIrk
She kneels down towards Chrono.
"Well? Are you having fun yet? Not fun being attacked without noticing, huh?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h8Xk47dqg
Chrono swipes at Catherine's arm, barely cutting her.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjuJumtw38
"...Nah. Didn't think so.." she says, standing up. "Didn't know you'd get this bad.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T1IAIUpfU
She picks him up. "Come on. Let's finish this so you can go back to normal at least. I have things to do.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrHHVAD8nU
Catherine stands in a fighting position.
"I'll only use my power alone."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nB9jk4hgQ
"Then allow me to join you." Arsenio says, standing beside her.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QYd71Bzpt
"What are you gonna do, flirt him to death?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc40sAgu9ka
"I actually had something else in mind.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhiUOKpUo9
Arsenio was finally able to conjure a Gift, as an arm cannon faded to fit on top of his hand.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEtXIz46cw
"I wanted to test this thing, you know?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ859YgXLTsb
"...Whatever."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GSe2xoSjh
"Come forward..." Chrono says menacingly.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RXdtzF8Xo
"Whatever you say, your Majesty."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoogzHdbZh
As the two-on-one began, more of the participants of the ceremony began to watch from a distance.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0VyVCBZdZ
"Seems like we've made quite an audience.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKD2yBSbqFP
"Let's make this the best coronation the Time Realm has ever seen.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckHK4coBLU
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeJSLlV1bo
With a sharp yell, time itself began to slow.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTrsyWNgWS
"Damnit! We're stuck until.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiew8bOm2IZ
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaz1pr8uvW
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaRauApPpm
"...I don't think we're gonna make it if he keeps stopping time like that.." She says, spitting up blood and standing up.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEKycOVMIb
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiJ4ZJL5jB
Catherine jumps up.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiLkG1Pir5
"You're welcome!" Arsenio says from afar.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGadNCQFRU
"Thanks! Keep looking for openings!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRF4PlH7d6
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM2GDActK8
"A-alright...you've proven your worth.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV1bpdXNk8
"Is this Chrono we're speaking to?" Arsenio asks as his Gift charges up once again and picks Catherine up.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xo83D7ffO
"I-I'm not sure.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC6ulZIvzc
"Make sure you're sure. I'd hate to hit you with this thing for no reason."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbZkH9HR2b
"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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8slPnelgya
Chrono shakes his head. "N-nevermind! Let us continue with the celebration, yes?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsIjMlxhQ5
"To be honest, I'm worn out..."
Catherine huffed. "You're like...crazy strong."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAIx6bKwCB
"I-I'll make it up to you, I swear!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyVm1v6hql
Piravit peeks from the floor. "Can I come out now?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9uUbR2SHL
"Depends.." Chrono says. "Are you willing to take your side of the deal?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkaFkGjqCT
"Eep!" Piravit says, coiling itself around Catherine and hiding behind her. "A-Ah! My part of the deal...?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR0ldMGRwC
"You shall give me full entry to your dimension. That was your promise to me."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TxBU5hPCg
"...Fine. But you can't keep using Chrono as a vessel for your battles."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEidSBcVRP
Chrono stares for a second, before hitting the ground, parts of his golden shell chipping off.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoE9HSG5Fp
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzu3As6Br8
"He's suppressed his power...I think."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lDK3jrui8
"Wait, they have a gender?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcP2EW8PjF
"Yeah..." Piravit answered. "It is quite obvious that I'm female. No whiskers, see?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIQhFJ55gS
"I guess.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKyQeCX4tA
"Catherine! Arsenio!" Isabelle says, stumbling her own feet. "A-Are you two alright?"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcGpXLTVTx
"I'm good. Not sure about Catherine though."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpmddbGPs6
"Nah, I'll be alright. I don't think he broke anything."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jcoUvqTu6
Nathaniel also approaches them with another tart in hand.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqjNrIcvSy
"Nate! You just had one of those things!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOH10xNSRA
"I must try every single flavor." He says taking another giant bite.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSOTeVxilG
"..M-Maybe we should g-go.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT8HukCd1t
"Are you sure? We can just...continue the party as normal.."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoGQaysMB3
Arsenio shrugs. "Seems like a plan to me."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5seBNmheQ
Slowly, the music begins to play. Partners begin to group together. It was like the party was uninterrupted the entire time.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j37L2qXkb
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3UZ0Td8cg
After the party, the Prodigies carried Chrono back into the House of Father Time.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJyyvVZkaq
"Thank you, you four. Hopefully I can get around with solving some of your Timebreaker problems sometime!"
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtmXSy3ZQ3
"We'd greatly appreciate it. We don't know how strong the next one'll be."
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJglwnKnQzm
Chrono waves them away as they go back to the Sanctuary. Ezra was already asleep when they returned, wrapped up in a blanket.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8cSsaeEu8
"Well, we should get some rest too."
Catherine announced.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhOg8u6ScR
"Way ahead of you." Arsenio says, dropping into the bed.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUPbaUWZNi
Everyone puts themselves to bed for the night, and the Prodigies fall asleep.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TQcnFDiJb
Silently, in the middle of the night, someone's Tempural Energy swarmed the room...
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRGSYPZrF5
