"Rise and shine, Prodigies!" Verna's peppy voice awoken the group. "Let's get ready for the coronation of Father Time today!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyajgsajQaY
Catherine scratches her neck as she pushes the quilt off. "Coronation?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8BamwdiVP
"Apparently, a new Father Time is to be crowned today." Nathaniel states, stretching.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Qtzlmuzyi
"Your mission today is to just watch over the new guy before the celebration begins. Pretty easy, right?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccU44AZIy3
"Wait...our job today is to be a goddamn babysitter?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnEU7L7UaH
"If that's how you view it, yes. But as a reward, you get to go to the after-party!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EoRuYGtqq
"That at least solves dinner..." Ezra thinks aloud.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEpYZKL075
"Breakfast will be served once you get there, so just put on your clothes and shoes and...look a little presentable.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBja4vb39yS
"No prob.." Arsenio says. "Let me just get my morning tea before I go.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexhUyKhn6R
"T-Tea?" Isabelle asks while brushing her hair.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6s9EXuakp
"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."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90rPJCZldr
"...Alright then..." Arsenio says, slowly sitting down and sliding his hands in his coat pockets. "I'll just wait until later then.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqs6uwDW3s
"Is everyone ready?" Verna asks, peeking into the room as she does so.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjUpSIt4CM
"I think so.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0bLYFHh9Y
"Good, good!" she fully opens the doors to let the Prodigies out. "Then, let's go, shall we?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNZFDofQHw
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6ngQ2GpfE
"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."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwP8bxj3t1
"...Is it because he's blonde?" Catherine remarked.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMC6kwh6VO
"... That might have had a influence on the nickname, yes."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEdinm7rKe
They watched as walked stone faced across to the home of Father Time.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDysOJVNJS1
"Let's go." Verna says, instructing them to follow Chrono.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbTxCwqDfz
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTMUp9aZYz
"Hello?" Catherine waited for a response.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdsiJDCmSg
"J-Just a minute!" A voice called out before crashing and falling is heard. Then, from the stairs emerged Chrono.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaOYjU8SO4
"Verna, very nice to see you again. And these four might be?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmRKNd99sd
"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."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt4niDzWUk
"I see..."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzyspVmceA
"Thanks again for doing this, guys."
Verna time warps away.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m71Uh0nWi
"...Which one of you is which? I just don't want to be confused.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbilKE15sF
They introduce themselves once again, giving him some clarity.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrV5FGfBp1x
"Ah, well it's nice to meet all of you."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a9851opXn
"Verna t-told us that w-we would have s-some breakfast.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchytN2tT7r
"Of course. You've come here quite early, so I'm sure you four are starving."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDnLhiCleL
"Yeah..." Catherine agreed, lightly holding her stomach.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfBO4TE2z3
"I thought so. I've prepared something, so don't worry."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuogWRmgmc
Chrono brandishes a golden door, which he promptly throws open and reveals some nice breakfast meals, already plated and ready to eat.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xVGIfk8Xc
"You m-made all of this yourself?!" Catherine exclaimed, impressed.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz96mPPcRFL
"I was just planning on making food for myself, but I didn't want to be rude.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNqrZLTEaX
"It does look rather...delectable..." Nathaniel says, clearing his throat.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu6jkz4PUI
"Well, shall we eat or watch it get cold?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMQvifDuds
The four Prodigies and the Son of Time all sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast, basically wolfing down the entire plate before them.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgULiqldiy
"Man, that was good..." Arsenio says, stretching in his seat.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7XoX3CxLA
"I'm glad you enjoyed. It's very difficult to find people who enjoy similar interests to me."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR4vUpqAKu
"Now what? Do you just read books and whatnot?" Catherine asked, taking the last sip of her drink.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEXMmH7SRk
"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.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5XtrIRHZM
"Then why not join us? From what we've experienced, we certainly need the help." Arsenio asks, leaned back in his chair.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGW8FvnMEQ
"I was never suited for things like that, unfortunately..." Chrono sighs. "My Gift is also a little...hard to control."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnAV60xSag
"...Can we see it?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCyHNjFONn
Chrono begins to rub his arms as guilt and embarrassment threw itself on his face.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmNkehMC7m
"You can say no, you know..." Catherine speaks. "No one's forcing you."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAraOFqJGyu
"It's...complicated."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q0x3AA3gC
"That's u-understandable...I have a Gift I can't quite c-control myself..."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96vtQfEfB2
Dawlly immediately pops itself out of Isabelle's pocket with an annoyed look.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpZM3YjaUV
"I-It's true..." she looks at Dawlly with the same annoyed look.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7ke3clgYa
"Interesting.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk81Ktl9Ct
"Is there anything else you like to do other than read and fantasize?" Catherine asks.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrezQvuj2q0
"I like to learn more about my Gift."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaItBtmhh9B
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHS9MA07Hv
"O-oh my.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX5gNWEtdW
"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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzRSKFhK0v
"So, what's your Gift? I'm sure you four have gotten one.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIMYTQofkc
Catherine nudges Nathaniel. "You show yours first. You're the supposed leader."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oCKpi848n
"I have never said that I was a leader..."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1c6I5t6I4
"W-Well..." Isabelle added. "You d-do know the most out of all of us..."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYv57YARkm
"...Fine.." Nathaniel reluctantly agrees.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHystIUTc6F
First, his arm, then up to his shoulder, until his entire body was covered in armor.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMf8F27ODC2
"You never told me you could do that.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffDQd5V2ru
"I feel as if there is... no need to use the full Gift. It is...uncomfortable.." He speaks from within the suit.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUNOPpO5u4
"Well, get the hell out of it then..."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmh9q6fvHM
He removes himself from the armor, reverting back to his velvet clothes.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4ud7AxaIX
"Well, since thou wants to assume roles, maybe thou would like to go next, co-leader?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcieJK4V4HN
"Of course you pin this crap on me.." Catherine growled. "But sure, why not?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogXH6j7Z5z
She slips through her chair, and all the way through the floor.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctE1nYshWS
It was like she was in her own dimension, her escape from reality. She swam around as she heard the others from above.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2UuZiigzA
That's when she heard a voice calling her name from the distance.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSTpvIprSQ
"Hello?" The voice creepily whispered.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXeb7oqd9S
"The hell?" She exclaimed. That freaked her out enough to pull herself out of the Phasing dimension.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR4CKenMIn
She gasped, as if she was underwater when she crawled out.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCapiul9Jpv
"You alright? You've been in the floor for quite a while..." Arsenio mentioned.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4nKWScxkn
"...Yeah, something just... freaked me out.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs2hdNJ3XL
She slides back in her seat...
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7C9DyMLz1
"I-I'll go next..." Isabelle announces. Within seconds, the threads began pulling themselves out of her sleeves.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinkUn8sPQI
"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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGwZ977JHW
"I just had to wake up today! Is it wrong to get some sleep around here?!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHjupU31kV
Dawlly smiles innocently as Isabelle continues to roar.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYo8OUV8wS
"Don't worry, I've got this.." Arsenio stands up. "Trust me, my charm is irresistible."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RnzTAtKy2
He grabs her wrists, looks her deep into her eyes..
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb2v34u9Kb
"Ah, great..." Catherine grumbled, rolling her eyes.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngoN7aP8MI
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that you look adorable when you're angry?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxAKnWTduo
Isabelle, easily flustered and caught off guard, immediately snaps back to her timid self.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4q0ltoFyV
"See?" He points out. "It's like a secret perk I have." He starts throwing up two pieces of jewelry.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmmreOcn0N
Isabelle immediately feels her ears.
"M-my earrings!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4RhqQzJbh
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."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQbsgBeKUT
Isabelle just kept turning red as she puts back on her earrings.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAa6XXKIR5
"So, you yourself do not have a Gift just yet, Arsenio?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklXoJWUvAo
"I haven't really felt anything, so no...I think."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcNoVyZchq
Outside, bells begin to ring. Chrono looks up at the clock sitting across the room from him on the wall.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0JNyYaKF2
"Ah...only an hour left..."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWICjiDYE5
"Is there anything else thou wants to say to us before thou becomes Father Time?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2Lu4SpzYF
"Use your Gift well, and I hope we get to see each other more in the future."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdWCJ5XMR9
Chrono smiles genuinely.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF68naBTzM
"So, what now?" Arsenio says, picking his teeth.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUDpRhEtit
"Well, if you four are attending the ceremony, you'll have to be properly dressed."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Vh6HxDfCj
"Well, Verna could've told us that earlier.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ALzUsSu9l
"Don't worry, we have a public closet full of gowns and suits for you to wear."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz3R2mS7Rf
Chrono stands up, leads them upstairs and pulls open a closet door.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavLTs673Fr
There were attire in every color of the rainbow.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgf1yaboce
"Hey, now this is nice!" Catherine says, walking into the spacious closet.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztl4oZw3KR
"Don't be afraid to pick whatever you want!" Chrono says, leaving.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnloMsHmUX
Trying to decide what attire to wear, the Prodigies pick the most extravagant and dazzling outfit that fit them the most.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfndlfAEm4
The four take turns putting on their new clothes, which gleamed and twinkled in the light. Once the four return to the closet.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23VXCtQOJK
"Looking nice girls.." Arsenio says.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwu1nTqnvC
"These shoes are gonna kill me later, but yeah, thanks.."
Catherine complained.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TBOR47W9i
"Now that that portion has been completed.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamaR7nt86t
Nathaniel grabs Arsenio by the shoulder.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopJZQGpSih
"Arsenio. Thou shall come with me."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNqVwSXWtT
He drags him away.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTVL15WItj
"Hey uh, Nathaniel, what are you trying to do?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hoA6p1KX9
"We must fix this hair of thine.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9jzbXdtAV
"Wait...Nate no, my hair is fine-"
Nathaniel pulls Arsenio outside.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL1bI46wcB
"Well, it w-wouldn't be too wrong to d-do the same, would it?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a9pUEzr1G
"No, we can take turns doing each other's hair. That seems hella fun!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaUZBN2nLB
"O-okay!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cmQkIeN1Z
Isabelle finds some combs, brushes, and hair accessories.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6b13qb44Q
"N-now, what kind of hairstyle would you want?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoezr9iaW8z
"Something simple, I guess. Not trying to impress anyone.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH0Rjzlh0T
Isabelle gets to unbraiding Catherine's hair, carefully and gracefully taking it apart. In the middle of brushing however, Isabelle stops.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CvqeaD1gY
"Uhm...Catherine?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR5tdCEw8p
"Yeah?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88VyOeg6NG
"There's a m-mark or something...on your neck.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLsLPfwfoq
"Huh? What does it look like?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WE04NZrLi
"It l-looks like something scratched you... you didn't g-get attacked b-by anything, did you?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSjPuyR6xg
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.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qVCmUVDeI
"D-Do you have any allergies?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3oJSHe7ch
"I'm not supposed to."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKl6GkGjbv
"...Oh my.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysqcRDVUTH
"I'm not too worried about it... it'll clear up soon..."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTWUsEQg4H
"...If you say so.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYTUIyPJdR
Isabelle continues to brush and straighten Catherine's hair. Before she knew it, Isabelle was already putting a flower pin neatly upon her head.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7kRwYc1xI
Isabelle puts a mirror in front of her face. "T-Tada!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49BUDyPnV8
"Oh damn. That's actually really good."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY0hq3TVTa
"T-thank you.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSucih4zIJ
They switch positions, with Catherine sitting behind Isabelle to do her hair.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxpbKxnjDG
"Is there anything specific you want to get?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHxeozdhpo
"U-Uhm.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYs5omcfkg
"Oh wait, I actually learned how to do this one hairstyle, French roll or something like that?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR90MnLfkM0
"Okay, that one t-then.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiamUXbJ51
"Alright."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3UeIN4Ltu
Catherine gathers all of Isabelle's hair, pulling it together, wrapping it around itself, until it looks like the hairstyle.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡealDXI77Nt
"Crap, I don't have any hair pins.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr67Fg6fq09
"D-don't worry, I have a backup.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf6Ng47ORJ
With her Gift, Isabelle sews the updo together until it fits securely, then places her own pin into her head.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUCB9RwLNk
"...That works too.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztFXwAxwHi
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKeeiwMotN
"I still don't get why you did this, it was fine as it is.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYXybIlQob
"Trust me, thou would rather look like this."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtUyDx2jQg
"I see the boys didn't have a good time picking out hairstyles." Catherine taunted.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEJnd35shB
"T-They do seem to be in a debate.." Isabelle added.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC3O6KXJtM
"It's gonna take forever to put my hair back now.." Arsenio protested.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNLKK4fEHZ
"Let's not w-worry about that... we're supposed t-to have fun.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ1AJG2oT3
"Yeah, I guess that's true..."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMTO8CzJ6d
There was thirty more minutes left. Still plenty of time to waste. Chrono comes back to check on them.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlt12fMYJw
"Ah, looking exquisite Prodigies!" Chrono praises them. "I'm sure you'll be the best looking ones out there!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyUa52ATQ8
"Eh, I doubt it, but I feel a lot prettier in this poofy thing.." Catherine flutters the ends of her dress.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDvwz8kcmt
"Ah, don't be so modest, you look great!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUNKZBpNdL
"Well, we still have lots of time. What should we do until then?" Arsenio asks.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UHnGZCSYF
"Why wait?" Chrono asks. "I can manipulate time at will. I'll just skip time a few minutes.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz17BfPOhGp
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TzPRqA91Y
"...That was...strange."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHePUHWwYa
"Let's go. The ceremony's about to start."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93YxwTfJR9
Catherine pushes Chrono out of the door. "We're right behind you, don't worry."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYCPV657cZ
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjgvnKtQsv
The crowd begins to applaud as Verna appears behind Chrono. She clears her throat.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9PRmihF0D
"Welcome everyone, to Chrono's coronation. It's been a while since we've had one of these, huh?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJWbeDYRPO
The crowd erupted into light laughter.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduyStxmkMG
"Anyways," she continued. "let's get to the best part."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUFwP9IQ3r
She turns Chrono around, hold his hands gently.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SD8fwJjbC
"Do you solemnly swear, as long as you live, that you will fairly rule over the Time Realm?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXDFfcaxII
Chrono silently nods.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh50YD5pt1Q
Verna releases his hands, opens her own, and in them, appears an extravagant crown which seemed to glow in the light.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrntvxuKK7
"Well then," she places it upon his head. "..you are now Father Time."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kzAOQX4ls
Everyone explodes into cheers. The Prodigies couldn't help but clap along.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXhjVkxJij
"Now, let us commence. Grab a partner, for the party is about to begin!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9THoRlUA8y
Groups begin to pull apart into parties of two, music begins to fade in.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQJu2r9KRx
Catherine feels fluttery from the tension.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovMP8POlY5
"...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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnll5INlSS
"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."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qQsg7AxlK
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYyKoru0qL
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbYGvFl2E0
"Does thou plan to do this at every party?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27VMMtmfSP
Catherine finds the source of the tension. She knew Nathaniel was standing behind her the entire time. Without looking back, she responds.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLGjiLuOep
"I don't have anything else to do. Why'd you follow me anyway?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqKaGDkCYh
"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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aU2VvpSFA
"Nate, you dumbass..."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ81vGb6Qz
"Hm?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbY9qBTthe
"You have jam and crap all over your face.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXgl7T145E
She pulls a napkin, and is just about to hand it to him, when a voice yells in pain, quieting the party to silence.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJiMP2p4B0
"...What's going on?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTsW7F2JyU
"I am not sure."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFfO9G91oY
"...Boost me."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2kV9alMhm
"What?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3hTcWLRTl
Catherine struggles to climb up Nathaniel. Once she reaches his shoulders, her eyes catch something unexpected.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0VZCOx3F6
"It's...Chrono.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hdFIfMMwL
The two push participants out of the way.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH6ysDziot
"I was worried about his hands and..." a girl whispered towards them.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfsgRy9ViB
"Don't worry, we've got this."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP2FmhAXFG
It seems like his Gift was finally coming into play.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WGSycfdNu
"Chrono...are you alright?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkSbCSrVCH
Chrono grabs the edge of Catherine's dress to pull himself up.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco3xKmrBqp
"I'm fine, really! My Gift just... activated all on it's own.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSibEjPn1PJ
As he stands up, everyone could see his Gift's true form. His face was plated halfway with gold, just as his arms were.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10p2ZoVjUa
"But seriously, I'm fine!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSgoQpmlZQ
More of his face became jagged.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfWZ1hN7ey
"... Let's go. Nate, you get Arsenio and Isabelle."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2SQyyZJ6c
Catherine pulled Chrono away from the party, taking him back the House of Father Time.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUqwdLaCsQ
"Okay, Chrono...what happened?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYkkrn8inP
"I-I think the stress...plus the demonstration from this morning..."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NHESYpife
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp1EF6kXAJ
"C-Chrono? Are you okay?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxo4et1LcR
"I-I am f-fine, Prodigies...this is just what happens...It's a little painful, though..."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1oxZ2RY0g
More barbs rip around his body, horns even start to curve from his head.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHNjgFU22v
"O-Oh goodness.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM92mRXjib
"I just have to...fight it. I can't hurt anyone if..."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GHL6aaPxx
His breathing gets heavier than stones.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwri20G5Ng
"Is there anyone we can get for help?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ip3NoBESx
"You don't need to bring anyone. Just...leave before it.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeBdDWkgsI
Without thinking, Chrono threw a glass from a table right beside him.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4FRju3SHs
"Okay okay! Let's calm down.." Arsenio says, recovering from dodging.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W0PlzC8fe
"I-I can't! It's going to..."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqNz9XlXVg
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXnmleMQqJ
Catherine simply used Phasing to break her fall, diving into the floor.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnVNbI0XxA
The voice from before called again. "There she is again!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaNe6cKkHz
"...Who the hell are you? What do you want?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1nDmaFSMy
She saw a stripe of bright cyan wave past her. Catherine tried desperately to find where the line went.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7HhqHn39m
"...Behind you.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rmQqX8oqf
Catherine turned around to see the menacing face of a dragon staring back at her. She was about to take a breath to scream.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOdw94kF4u
"Hey, don't scream. I just want to know how you got here."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFjpcFDS1s
Catherine confusingly looks.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UmbIQxEI5
"This is my Gift...I can phase through crap like it's water. I broke my fall from a building.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGA2NHezAV
"Oh, you must be the person I marked yesterday. Makes sense, I guess.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxZNb2cR9Q
"M-Marked?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMdCu6dVO2
"That itch you could never satisfy." It points towards Catherine's neck.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWcawZV30v
"...Wait, that was you?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplGJjRhpQk
The serpent playfully clears it's throat before bellowing menacingly.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFEtslM0Ab
"Allow me to become you, and I shall spare your life!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkWCJYm3Qp
"...Do I get other abilities other than falling through stuff?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi5PTuC1LS
The dragon shrugs. "I think so?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVoKVaPLDl
"Great. Come on then."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5UFksRLaC
It phases through Catherine, unlocking a surge of energy and power within her.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBzjs3HHph
Catherine climbs out of the dimension as the others were looking for her.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqojfSLkqk
"Sorry if I scared you guys.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerzyaWJh7F
"Catherine! Y-you're okay!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkE98HQKJ3
"Yeah, I just got a new friend."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHLBexDOfx
The dragon only appeared as a ghost coiled around her body.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc37DT5hKn
"And her name is?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFVnPi1hMX
"Not sure.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR36Qqw0fvb
Like a ghost, the dragon swapped her soul with Catherine's.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7qzAdaAB0
"Piravit. My name is Piravit, the Spiritual Dragon of Phasing. I have chosen Catherine here as my host..."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O1RxVHx36
"Thou is...possessing her.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRbIhzhVjC
"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."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp7FJ8jDkg
"Cool. Now...about him.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhnGZ8qMoD
Arsenio points at the shattered window that Catherine fell out of.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZXGXARqjY
Chrono's roar echoed throughout the realm as he perched on the window.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFlfXCtPIT
"Oi! You have some explaining to do!"
Catherine says as she takes back control of her body.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrEn7nvts5
"...Catherine, that's the Time Beast!"
Piravit says as a echoing voice inside her head.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bkunLyUZw
"Eh? That's Chrono, that's just his Gift."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9sVxiNIMD
"Like you, he's been marked. If he sees me with you, he'll kill us both!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBknHkEDL8
As on cue, Chrono jumps down right in front of Catherine, as if analyzing her. Then with angry aura, throws her again.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptoBjZCk3H
Catherine hits the ground, tumbling.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYsHVboapW
She struggles to pick herself up, as Chrono runs towards her.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauqLYCvtY6
"What the hell did you do for him to get pissed off?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPwVFfZVeA
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.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVVC9E9RLM
"You have gotta be kidding me!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSyI8Mghf6
"But don't worry! I'm sure if we beat him, he'll come to his senses!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGB6rMFlfb
Chrono pulls a punch towards them, only to be stopped by Isabelle's thread.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKVwBtrKW6
"C-Chrono! You h-have to come t-to your senses!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFm5fijjtl
"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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG5bcGgJHX
"I-I'm sorry...I can't k-keep him still..."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh6QFwIasL
"It's alright! You've spared me some time!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNm7KvZWus
"Let me take over!" Piravit immediately pulls Catherine out, becoming the one in control.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNQU2YkdfL
As soon as Chrono began a barrage of punches, Piravit pulls away, but was able to only dodge a few before tanking them.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRUKQ0XMxA
"He's way too fast! I can't get a hit on him!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtjp89ttYW
As Chrono kept punching her in the chest, Piravit, in Catherine's body, was thinking of ideas, pondering as hard as her breathing.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsBrMZ61Bq
Piravit begins to punch rapidly in response, until the two stop.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ13GzFkZ4
"I have to say..." Piravit states tauntingly. " You've given me quite the workout since I left my dimension-"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg8bzTYmdY
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZVBMhZc5l
"So, p-playing dirty are we?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9UDrJkAFD
Chrono responds with an angry, but silent, glare.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z8WcoXQnM
"Great, I like games without rules..."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2q5bNNWpu
Piravit phases back into the floor. When they return to the Phasing Dimension, the two separate.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbWXJ0q8Nl
"Okay, so new plan..."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7MQ20JYRN
Catherine coughs as she feels the after effects of earlier.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbfrtcQfDG
"You better think of something and fast..."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAf7sBehXcT
"There's one last thing we can do, but you have to follow a specific set of rules and-"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC76pzVQZq
"Nevermind... I'll figure something out.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDG3ybM6dY
Catherine jumps from the dimension and behind Chrono, where she sneakily kicks him.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tVLo7Ro71
Piravit follows shortly behind her.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnpIQRSru4
She kneels down towards Chrono.
"Well? Are you having fun yet? Not fun being attacked without noticing, huh?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhOIG16S4n
Chrono swipes at Catherine's arm, barely cutting her.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKLjgOyr9B
"...Nah. Didn't think so.." she says, standing up. "Didn't know you'd get this bad.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEnHFGtg1L
She picks him up. "Come on. Let's finish this so you can go back to normal at least. I have things to do.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw84fnh23R
Catherine stands in a fighting position.
"I'll only use my power alone."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTkY0wko2o
"Then allow me to join you." Arsenio says, standing beside her.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuov8IRmEfI
"What are you gonna do, flirt him to death?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfZRwsvliN
"I actually had something else in mind.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4N5FiKQ8u
Arsenio was finally able to conjure a Gift, as an arm cannon faded to fit on top of his hand.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZRxMU43pG
"I wanted to test this thing, you know?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvKLCgLFNb
"...Whatever."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT6r6bencQ
"Come forward..." Chrono says menacingly.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGD4ewaR3E
"Whatever you say, your Majesty."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQscgfc8AM
As the two-on-one began, more of the participants of the ceremony began to watch from a distance.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqz9F0Qgq3
"Seems like we've made quite an audience.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2gNAI2TcE
"Let's make this the best coronation the Time Realm has ever seen.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdnCovMg7E
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvR0P6htvMj
With a sharp yell, time itself began to slow.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0a8fopDFO
"Damnit! We're stuck until.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yxrOawTLp
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmmce5pkKx
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Gom41xcub
"...I don't think we're gonna make it if he keeps stopping time like that.." She says, spitting up blood and standing up.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TZuT6MpvO
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipjGADei3F
Catherine jumps up.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxkk2aSVLT
"You're welcome!" Arsenio says from afar.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOitKH3XpX
"Thanks! Keep looking for openings!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfapVg0Rhfy
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRloK0jLoN
"A-alright...you've proven your worth.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89lWd4KVm3
"Is this Chrono we're speaking to?" Arsenio asks as his Gift charges up once again and picks Catherine up.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoGvnLK2tA
"I-I'm not sure.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEPXmpMb5o
"Make sure you're sure. I'd hate to hit you with this thing for no reason."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt1jFSunQv
"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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfIwJJgTZo
Chrono shakes his head. "N-nevermind! Let us continue with the celebration, yes?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnvnWb4rSB
"To be honest, I'm worn out..."
Catherine huffed. "You're like...crazy strong."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIygTpGn0eV
"I-I'll make it up to you, I swear!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftnwyATCRd
Piravit peeks from the floor. "Can I come out now?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzWDcmYOTu
"Depends.." Chrono says. "Are you willing to take your side of the deal?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhh0ZHVt9D
"Eep!" Piravit says, coiling itself around Catherine and hiding behind her. "A-Ah! My part of the deal...?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EkUjvjiim
"You shall give me full entry to your dimension. That was your promise to me."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ1LaqlHD4
"...Fine. But you can't keep using Chrono as a vessel for your battles."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq9qyNkxqY
Chrono stares for a second, before hitting the ground, parts of his golden shell chipping off.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXh7xZu6MZf
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvpjyESR0Y
"He's suppressed his power...I think."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxANJiSmOL
"Wait, they have a gender?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphe3aUPtT3
"Yeah..." Piravit answered. "It is quite obvious that I'm female. No whiskers, see?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr88d8Wc2R
"I guess.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEAvNKr2kC
"Catherine! Arsenio!" Isabelle says, stumbling her own feet. "A-Are you two alright?"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrMOfqeMtF
"I'm good. Not sure about Catherine though."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA3SJiBlvn
"Nah, I'll be alright. I don't think he broke anything."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9jCG8HIeJ
Nathaniel also approaches them with another tart in hand.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUIY0nFeZG
"Nate! You just had one of those things!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv3uAHeQgI
"I must try every single flavor." He says taking another giant bite.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMLHIEuYjY
"..M-Maybe we should g-go.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl9bDPJjGd
"Are you sure? We can just...continue the party as normal.."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG2fR3NwBy
Arsenio shrugs. "Seems like a plan to me."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPrZ664bml
Slowly, the music begins to play. Partners begin to group together. It was like the party was uninterrupted the entire time.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ztFW5KxcL
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.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aH3flNoZA
After the party, the Prodigies carried Chrono back into the House of Father Time.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeffz8ugql
"Thank you, you four. Hopefully I can get around with solving some of your Timebreaker problems sometime!"
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bFTdoxGu6
"We'd greatly appreciate it. We don't know how strong the next one'll be."
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGYXJf5VCy
Chrono waves them away as they go back to the Sanctuary. Ezra was already asleep when they returned, wrapped up in a blanket.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22umL14NaS
"Well, we should get some rest too."
Catherine announced.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjVws5HnWX
"Way ahead of you." Arsenio says, dropping into the bed.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHC6zDJVJFi
Everyone puts themselves to bed for the night, and the Prodigies fall asleep.
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT28s8uWnvf
Silently, in the middle of the night, someone's Tempural Energy swarmed the room...
427Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoLpyhwyAk
