"Rise and shine, Prodigies!" Verna's peppy voice awoken the group. "Let's get ready for the coronation of Father Time today!"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EhmOl7DaD
Catherine scratches her neck as she pushes the quilt off. "Coronation?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHRLOkkz8C
"Apparently, a new Father Time is to be crowned today." Nathaniel states, stretching.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKa4APUXDJ
"Your mission today is to just watch over the new guy before the celebration begins. Pretty easy, right?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNPiyPqC2J
"Wait...our job today is to be a goddamn babysitter?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyM3HKFfMIZ
"If that's how you view it, yes. But as a reward, you get to go to the after-party!"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6heCDWtUbB
"That at least solves dinner..." Ezra thinks aloud.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuDsBVHIsD
"Breakfast will be served once you get there, so just put on your clothes and shoes and...look a little presentable.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHkaH6YxRb
"No prob.." Arsenio says. "Let me just get my morning tea before I go.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdtSnDNM7j
"T-Tea?" Isabelle asks while brushing her hair.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacZbeBpNwh
"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."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfigrSqxre
"...Alright then..." Arsenio says, slowly sitting down and sliding his hands in his coat pockets. "I'll just wait until later then.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXby8UiBmH
"Is everyone ready?" Verna asks, peeking into the room as she does so.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjYJlwHkZL
"I think so.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6l0NSDPgZ
"Good, good!" she fully opens the doors to let the Prodigies out. "Then, let's go, shall we?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QpjmX3K0b
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.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTANo2PFOfO
"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."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hIRlLH8d9
"...Is it because he's blonde?" Catherine remarked.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm0wDDp7BL
"... That might have had a influence on the nickname, yes."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIpk6OZXLy
They watched as walked stone faced across to the home of Father Time.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpHxQGeXKL
"Let's go." Verna says, instructing them to follow Chrono.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCYqQpwpoz
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.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjDIst6y74
"Hello?" Catherine waited for a response.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsC5ZpubHSI
"J-Just a minute!" A voice called out before crashing and falling is heard. Then, from the stairs emerged Chrono.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRnDL6fixn
"Verna, very nice to see you again. And these four might be?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZXaInvx3f
"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."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i7SL4ZAPM
"I see..."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEt29VWsETA
"Thanks again for doing this, guys."
Verna time warps away.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqgw1Exa5Z
"...Which one of you is which? I just don't want to be confused.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rSmV4dkMy
They introduce themselves once again, giving him some clarity.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzV10Tg9Mz
"Ah, well it's nice to meet all of you."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmv86EHuFrg
"Verna t-told us that w-we would have s-some breakfast.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZvpwoaf64
"Of course. You've come here quite early, so I'm sure you four are starving."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo61uMkbhy
"Yeah..." Catherine agreed, lightly holding her stomach.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GRYhrjcDC
"I thought so. I've prepared something, so don't worry."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwvbNeVtzO
Chrono brandishes a golden door, which he promptly throws open and reveals some nice breakfast meals, already plated and ready to eat.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv4IaFi0vl
"You m-made all of this yourself?!" Catherine exclaimed, impressed.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VEfJ8u7rr
"I was just planning on making food for myself, but I didn't want to be rude.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnL5xuCUrT
"It does look rather...delectable..." Nathaniel says, clearing his throat.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHEtmPI7gM
"Well, shall we eat or watch it get cold?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvN2RcL6ob
The four Prodigies and the Son of Time all sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast, basically wolfing down the entire plate before them.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs7G1ldnFS
"Man, that was good..." Arsenio says, stretching in his seat.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUNkxO2r8W
"I'm glad you enjoyed. It's very difficult to find people who enjoy similar interests to me."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnzLd2vTkI
"Now what? Do you just read books and whatnot?" Catherine asked, taking the last sip of her drink.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXq8AuJ3US
"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.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO2ItwOcot
"Then why not join us? From what we've experienced, we certainly need the help." Arsenio asks, leaned back in his chair.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzLYSfCJZx
"I was never suited for things like that, unfortunately..." Chrono sighs. "My Gift is also a little...hard to control."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrRn2t5t79
"...Can we see it?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiND1ZDRVrB
Chrono begins to rub his arms as guilt and embarrassment threw itself on his face.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1hOWzXRet
"You can say no, you know..." Catherine speaks. "No one's forcing you."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8kBiLFAxD
"It's...complicated."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmKp6eTwDN
"That's u-understandable...I have a Gift I can't quite c-control myself..."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pI43xf7ac
Dawlly immediately pops itself out of Isabelle's pocket with an annoyed look.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeZ6uZeys1
"I-It's true..." she looks at Dawlly with the same annoyed look.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0o5sh8koA
"Interesting.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j1pn01rfW
"Is there anything else you like to do other than read and fantasize?" Catherine asks.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza9FLI6doA
"I like to learn more about my Gift."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjY1ffzh4e
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.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXLrYeIlf6
"O-oh my.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd3ttThfms
"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.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7JEQwv8b5
"So, what's your Gift? I'm sure you four have gotten one.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuR2lV5Khm
Catherine nudges Nathaniel. "You show yours first. You're the supposed leader."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9AALNVcKA
"I have never said that I was a leader..."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtfi7Mq909
"W-Well..." Isabelle added. "You d-do know the most out of all of us..."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmmG37CwuM
"...Fine.." Nathaniel reluctantly agrees.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmvw0wbKeC
First, his arm, then up to his shoulder, until his entire body was covered in armor.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBfUhoxhzE
"You never told me you could do that.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV63yQ9zbdX
"I feel as if there is... no need to use the full Gift. It is...uncomfortable.." He speaks from within the suit.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTzQgEfHdl
"Well, get the hell out of it then..."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO7dS99Pnf
He removes himself from the armor, reverting back to his velvet clothes.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA75gTrdBTQ
"Well, since thou wants to assume roles, maybe thou would like to go next, co-leader?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYizyrI3Ga
"Of course you pin this crap on me.." Catherine growled. "But sure, why not?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX3L9m7CyU
She slips through her chair, and all the way through the floor.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw7X2U0HQ0
It was like she was in her own dimension, her escape from reality. She swam around as she heard the others from above.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ696KOyTnUu
That's when she heard a voice calling her name from the distance.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIbxSUNm7E
"Hello?" The voice creepily whispered.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVebCN23wGK
"The hell?" She exclaimed. That freaked her out enough to pull herself out of the Phasing dimension.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRECEzC91J
She gasped, as if she was underwater when she crawled out.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO80GZ9lZF
"You alright? You've been in the floor for quite a while..." Arsenio mentioned.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ010ybKCrR
"...Yeah, something just... freaked me out.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu2MYzVt43
She slides back in her seat...
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5C26nCYGtm
"I-I'll go next..." Isabelle announces. Within seconds, the threads began pulling themselves out of her sleeves.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHxetDtPhG
"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.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHUx8VDOHJ
"I just had to wake up today! Is it wrong to get some sleep around here?!"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDe935BQPn
Dawlly smiles innocently as Isabelle continues to roar.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0hqQEbMmR
"Don't worry, I've got this.." Arsenio stands up. "Trust me, my charm is irresistible."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMOfdhTCuU
He grabs her wrists, looks her deep into her eyes..
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEOLN6y9fU
"Ah, great..." Catherine grumbled, rolling her eyes.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63M46DSXFS
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that you look adorable when you're angry?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJeedI74zw
Isabelle, easily flustered and caught off guard, immediately snaps back to her timid self.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvKNsbsqLt
"See?" He points out. "It's like a secret perk I have." He starts throwing up two pieces of jewelry.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4Rv5vU6MJ
Isabelle immediately feels her ears.
"M-my earrings!"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGKv8z8J7Z
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."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG9VqDXJOH
Isabelle just kept turning red as she puts back on her earrings.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRQsabSQAb
"So, you yourself do not have a Gift just yet, Arsenio?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko8aBvqUqn
"I haven't really felt anything, so no...I think."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZCRq6BbpX
Outside, bells begin to ring. Chrono looks up at the clock sitting across the room from him on the wall.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwmOHRzrbN
"Ah...only an hour left..."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvt72z9jG5
"Is there anything else thou wants to say to us before thou becomes Father Time?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBZZbQAlcv
"Use your Gift well, and I hope we get to see each other more in the future."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakV7rPOucp
Chrono smiles genuinely.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZcHJAPHv1
"So, what now?" Arsenio says, picking his teeth.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInvemnUuO3
"Well, if you four are attending the ceremony, you'll have to be properly dressed."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sZ2aZplEw
"Well, Verna could've told us that earlier.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ510osGtkLJ
"Don't worry, we have a public closet full of gowns and suits for you to wear."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyB4hX6ClV
Chrono stands up, leads them upstairs and pulls open a closet door.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAw8TAyBgh
There were attire in every color of the rainbow.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S8K711Dek
"Hey, now this is nice!" Catherine says, walking into the spacious closet.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfDsKctoVQ
"Don't be afraid to pick whatever you want!" Chrono says, leaving.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfvol9kXEV
Trying to decide what attire to wear, the Prodigies pick the most extravagant and dazzling outfit that fit them the most.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA1UAglc5k
The four take turns putting on their new clothes, which gleamed and twinkled in the light. Once the four return to the closet.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdEH8tLNAq
"Looking nice girls.." Arsenio says.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCZhZt25Oc
"These shoes are gonna kill me later, but yeah, thanks.."
Catherine complained.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNS4Fycpet
"Now that that portion has been completed.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYCXsbFv9k
Nathaniel grabs Arsenio by the shoulder.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ806nUcgqx5
"Arsenio. Thou shall come with me."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3gALLTtfQ
He drags him away.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUlwMHc3nj
"Hey uh, Nathaniel, what are you trying to do?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ20TwFTCQr
"We must fix this hair of thine.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2r6T7eINA
"Wait...Nate no, my hair is fine-"
Nathaniel pulls Arsenio outside.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg4ZfB9aV1
"Well, it w-wouldn't be too wrong to d-do the same, would it?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuNBLA6K0J
"No, we can take turns doing each other's hair. That seems hella fun!"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewMq2H1ran
"O-okay!"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY96fnZIrPH
Isabelle finds some combs, brushes, and hair accessories.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVxQWFHnVj
"N-now, what kind of hairstyle would you want?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtplqX6Mnq
"Something simple, I guess. Not trying to impress anyone.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7OG1gJOyT
Isabelle gets to unbraiding Catherine's hair, carefully and gracefully taking it apart. In the middle of brushing however, Isabelle stops.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVPJlphp6V
"Uhm...Catherine?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E0C5xPdpo
"Yeah?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhb55WFquc
"There's a m-mark or something...on your neck.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwC8d4zHoq
"Huh? What does it look like?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Qs4jems9k
"It l-looks like something scratched you... you didn't g-get attacked b-by anything, did you?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAxsFuKWQL
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.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEA7pfYi7I
"D-Do you have any allergies?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMIjP2JJcV
"I'm not supposed to."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc8tn8rmHZ
"...Oh my.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFYCVc3Vbu
"I'm not too worried about it... it'll clear up soon..."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhhgMsBz4w
"...If you say so.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZlaeKVy5B
Isabelle continues to brush and straighten Catherine's hair. Before she knew it, Isabelle was already putting a flower pin neatly upon her head.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRhybLJHAs
Isabelle puts a mirror in front of her face. "T-Tada!"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTijPZzX6y
"Oh damn. That's actually really good."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UUfioq5KB
"T-thank you.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HNSL7iaQJ
They switch positions, with Catherine sitting behind Isabelle to do her hair.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZvFQCepiz
"Is there anything specific you want to get?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOt6Ry6P5J
"U-Uhm.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj2UKOuwuh
"Oh wait, I actually learned how to do this one hairstyle, French roll or something like that?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24qODpHFOu
"Okay, that one t-then.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kV6zFjpyn
"Alright."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyoG10fR8q
Catherine gathers all of Isabelle's hair, pulling it together, wrapping it around itself, until it looks like the hairstyle.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimAhmxYMEe
"Crap, I don't have any hair pins.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYEdZ7ylvU
"D-don't worry, I have a backup.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibcSWo27q1
With her Gift, Isabelle sews the updo together until it fits securely, then places her own pin into her head.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNfIIPjwa3
"...That works too.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfHyaykt1h
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.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml2VCzV8wS
"I still don't get why you did this, it was fine as it is.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakavWYmn1I
"Trust me, thou would rather look like this."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7wDhEFQNK
"I see the boys didn't have a good time picking out hairstyles." Catherine taunted.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUj9kAHqQZ
"T-They do seem to be in a debate.." Isabelle added.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkM8wIIsvX
"It's gonna take forever to put my hair back now.." Arsenio protested.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5RMjqFXMI
"Let's not w-worry about that... we're supposed t-to have fun.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWbUi1jxZw
"Yeah, I guess that's true..."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphf4zqqsav
There was thirty more minutes left. Still plenty of time to waste. Chrono comes back to check on them.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsNLwp1Z1Z
"Ah, looking exquisite Prodigies!" Chrono praises them. "I'm sure you'll be the best looking ones out there!"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnPygCxhFe
"Eh, I doubt it, but I feel a lot prettier in this poofy thing.." Catherine flutters the ends of her dress.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUTV6HMvuZ
"Ah, don't be so modest, you look great!"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsDQWdD6fh
"Well, we still have lots of time. What should we do until then?" Arsenio asks.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXMiFs5Qj7
"Why wait?" Chrono asks. "I can manipulate time at will. I'll just skip time a few minutes.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi14ZoVVHt
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.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSDxHnQkUL
"...That was...strange."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w8Bx1YFQW
"Let's go. The ceremony's about to start."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufeE5r46Lo
Catherine pushes Chrono out of the door. "We're right behind you, don't worry."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmtEtv56K4
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.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GFRjHR1W6
The crowd begins to applaud as Verna appears behind Chrono. She clears her throat.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPOsetG6Ws
"Welcome everyone, to Chrono's coronation. It's been a while since we've had one of these, huh?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0RUvQBs0W
The crowd erupted into light laughter.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNoHvvN7ja
"Anyways," she continued. "let's get to the best part."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteT5kckLUy
She turns Chrono around, hold his hands gently.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzFrligN5V
"Do you solemnly swear, as long as you live, that you will fairly rule over the Time Realm?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb6kmmXvYV
Chrono silently nods.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPMZUWPtVG
Verna releases his hands, opens her own, and in them, appears an extravagant crown which seemed to glow in the light.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkjE6LwOPM
"Well then," she places it upon his head. "..you are now Father Time."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCUe6mTseD
Everyone explodes into cheers. The Prodigies couldn't help but clap along.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF83WYWzar
"Now, let us commence. Grab a partner, for the party is about to begin!"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQtzRitgEs
Groups begin to pull apart into parties of two, music begins to fade in.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIJg69E2II
Catherine feels fluttery from the tension.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFembHnKgD
"...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.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQdcxeD3Wi
"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."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduYVmYOkyq
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.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE36j22U9sZ
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.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8FVRU8amu
"Does thou plan to do this at every party?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRriF2D94l1
Catherine finds the source of the tension. She knew Nathaniel was standing behind her the entire time. Without looking back, she responds.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX1TDE4Fpz
"I don't have anything else to do. Why'd you follow me anyway?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSKYLrK1j0
"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.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGckSjlwby
"Nate, you dumbass..."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw555WY2t9P
"Hm?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW4UCZCSmJ
"You have jam and crap all over your face.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIal8bvkbN
She pulls a napkin, and is just about to hand it to him, when a voice yells in pain, quieting the party to silence.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSvcGNhBMA
"...What's going on?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3B8mnbpOQ
"I am not sure."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR7n6GYvJ9
"...Boost me."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3lJdrpEpj
"What?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBryLbHDszC
Catherine struggles to climb up Nathaniel. Once she reaches his shoulders, her eyes catch something unexpected.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIAPB6esAu
"It's...Chrono.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk9uaBDOd7
The two push participants out of the way.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvC9T03cxM
"I was worried about his hands and..." a girl whispered towards them.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXEs9YblOA
"Don't worry, we've got this."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIncRn6Cps
It seems like his Gift was finally coming into play.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a5gtMPgFe
"Chrono...are you alright?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqQ3VrFezE
Chrono grabs the edge of Catherine's dress to pull himself up.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVjVIEz3QZ
"I'm fine, really! My Gift just... activated all on it's own.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wSOUIYbIT
As he stands up, everyone could see his Gift's true form. His face was plated halfway with gold, just as his arms were.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwUIsM6qox
"But seriously, I'm fine!"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx10ldvbqO
More of his face became jagged.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19ypfuXUH6
"... Let's go. Nate, you get Arsenio and Isabelle."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxNQcGL5x7
Catherine pulled Chrono away from the party, taking him back the House of Father Time.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC470Ak58Y6
"Okay, Chrono...what happened?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW0pJCcz3k
"I-I think the stress...plus the demonstration from this morning..."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9o6dABpAS
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.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzSamwSTSP
"C-Chrono? Are you okay?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcZXZwAYMc
"I-I am f-fine, Prodigies...this is just what happens...It's a little painful, though..."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqsnW9iPrs
More barbs rip around his body, horns even start to curve from his head.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFLuRXC6is
"O-Oh goodness.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0S8uuB2Iu
"I just have to...fight it. I can't hurt anyone if..."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C1mBAGr6W
His breathing gets heavier than stones.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsaeojEISF
"Is there anyone we can get for help?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkrepTasXR
"You don't need to bring anyone. Just...leave before it.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaJB8yNfDS
Without thinking, Chrono threw a glass from a table right beside him.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4KNYsoGEA
"Okay okay! Let's calm down.." Arsenio says, recovering from dodging.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBvklqio4U
"I-I can't! It's going to..."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY2MVrnJis
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.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjUnysgcmb
Catherine simply used Phasing to break her fall, diving into the floor.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6fsWB1YaJ
The voice from before called again. "There she is again!"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiOYMr1qls
"...Who the hell are you? What do you want?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09NR5MVjtw
She saw a stripe of bright cyan wave past her. Catherine tried desperately to find where the line went.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOi3huuXvu
"...Behind you.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGAN30T7ts
Catherine turned around to see the menacing face of a dragon staring back at her. She was about to take a breath to scream.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlIWphAXDy
"Hey, don't scream. I just want to know how you got here."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsSgTd7w4P
Catherine confusingly looks.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0w3CSGrsRz
"This is my Gift...I can phase through crap like it's water. I broke my fall from a building.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQ1tl18BMT
"Oh, you must be the person I marked yesterday. Makes sense, I guess.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LZrFuIiGe
"M-Marked?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFvZsqfRCj
"That itch you could never satisfy." It points towards Catherine's neck.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CRuhEjsWi
"...Wait, that was you?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQsc57ujGq
The serpent playfully clears it's throat before bellowing menacingly.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6rPaR9ebj
"Allow me to become you, and I shall spare your life!"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5RvmmN1w0
"...Do I get other abilities other than falling through stuff?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7poVeYqR4R
The dragon shrugs. "I think so?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSDSCMoVVu
"Great. Come on then."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcyjPmvNyY
It phases through Catherine, unlocking a surge of energy and power within her.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinpPBhcUMe
Catherine climbs out of the dimension as the others were looking for her.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAdlkqCK5W
"Sorry if I scared you guys.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLd6Z5sFyA
"Catherine! Y-you're okay!"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SJ0Lo56VD
"Yeah, I just got a new friend."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bhdwRRred
The dragon only appeared as a ghost coiled around her body.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvov0wkXKuJ
"And her name is?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2uA5ukJwh
"Not sure.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq0TtEWvnQ
Like a ghost, the dragon swapped her soul with Catherine's.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbK67RvQEs
"Piravit. My name is Piravit, the Spiritual Dragon of Phasing. I have chosen Catherine here as my host..."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrDvLZYfp9
"Thou is...possessing her.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbWD32D97D
"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."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxz6svZH9b
"Cool. Now...about him.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFxzgtDtBd
Arsenio points at the shattered window that Catherine fell out of.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeglwzaHFh
Chrono's roar echoed throughout the realm as he perched on the window.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcc72DlmXIY
"Oi! You have some explaining to do!"
Catherine says as she takes back control of her body.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0MXQxNUpd
"...Catherine, that's the Time Beast!"
Piravit says as a echoing voice inside her head.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2vB3QoHOT
"Eh? That's Chrono, that's just his Gift."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXiOOP8SVl
"Like you, he's been marked. If he sees me with you, he'll kill us both!"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnajb7K7wN
As on cue, Chrono jumps down right in front of Catherine, as if analyzing her. Then with angry aura, throws her again.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7InolVZ2C0
Catherine hits the ground, tumbling.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKXB3yHUfH
She struggles to pick herself up, as Chrono runs towards her.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WXrjwE4hB
"What the hell did you do for him to get pissed off?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7F7OLqsRg
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.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZXIsDHqzs
"You have gotta be kidding me!"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdfnKafdcJ
"But don't worry! I'm sure if we beat him, he'll come to his senses!"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJQm4SaJws
Chrono pulls a punch towards them, only to be stopped by Isabelle's thread.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqp7brcifyR
"C-Chrono! You h-have to come t-to your senses!"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwdQye7ITY
"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.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO33OEHYeNz
"I-I'm sorry...I can't k-keep him still..."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxOKDTMMSk
"It's alright! You've spared me some time!"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBANsendVJQ
"Let me take over!" Piravit immediately pulls Catherine out, becoming the one in control.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6fkWBFttM
As soon as Chrono began a barrage of punches, Piravit pulls away, but was able to only dodge a few before tanking them.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bU6JwWhTo
"He's way too fast! I can't get a hit on him!"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnts1R13JlW
As Chrono kept punching her in the chest, Piravit, in Catherine's body, was thinking of ideas, pondering as hard as her breathing.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMrSvgRdkd
Piravit begins to punch rapidly in response, until the two stop.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eLc4ymMD1
"I have to say..." Piravit states tauntingly. " You've given me quite the workout since I left my dimension-"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0UKrXaSJO
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.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BerLP5NeC
"So, p-playing dirty are we?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQxrMe3pab
Chrono responds with an angry, but silent, glare.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaENHemlRIl
"Great, I like games without rules..."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmmDcGlWJI
Piravit phases back into the floor. When they return to the Phasing Dimension, the two separate.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEGvYnkhJ2
"Okay, so new plan..."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRN0J9Bzjc
Catherine coughs as she feels the after effects of earlier.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuFNn0holq
"You better think of something and fast..."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxdNXbye7j
"There's one last thing we can do, but you have to follow a specific set of rules and-"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVH6cDqTj5
"Nevermind... I'll figure something out.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv4n5dQtMq
Catherine jumps from the dimension and behind Chrono, where she sneakily kicks him.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLNwiHmIGB
Piravit follows shortly behind her.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaP6lcscnE
She kneels down towards Chrono.
"Well? Are you having fun yet? Not fun being attacked without noticing, huh?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzZzBOZsQs
Chrono swipes at Catherine's arm, barely cutting her.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PRW59gQTB
"...Nah. Didn't think so.." she says, standing up. "Didn't know you'd get this bad.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Q4FBeINAG
She picks him up. "Come on. Let's finish this so you can go back to normal at least. I have things to do.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV0sPxRsJ2
Catherine stands in a fighting position.
"I'll only use my power alone."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7aZy8hpfI
"Then allow me to join you." Arsenio says, standing beside her.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6DNLHCPPL
"What are you gonna do, flirt him to death?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuYmxVL80J
"I actually had something else in mind.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniQ6jYq1hy
Arsenio was finally able to conjure a Gift, as an arm cannon faded to fit on top of his hand.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy2pa6notp
"I wanted to test this thing, you know?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZJEXyAgul
"...Whatever."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvih2TFSZw
"Come forward..." Chrono says menacingly.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY9g88RdLp
"Whatever you say, your Majesty."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8g0bARHhoJ
As the two-on-one began, more of the participants of the ceremony began to watch from a distance.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrcHXB5Wgg
"Seems like we've made quite an audience.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5C4bDWJ4c
"Let's make this the best coronation the Time Realm has ever seen.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOcLGXzfHO
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.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37ufcuwwCN
With a sharp yell, time itself began to slow.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ079Tz53kIF
"Damnit! We're stuck until.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jCygsfpkY
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.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatKK02ysZN
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.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSpa9CvtKQ
"...I don't think we're gonna make it if he keeps stopping time like that.." She says, spitting up blood and standing up.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtym3Ap8iEo
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.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc9M0hC6n3
Catherine jumps up.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDrfuj6K4A
"You're welcome!" Arsenio says from afar.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbLh0JPaKn
"Thanks! Keep looking for openings!"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTFYadsJDo
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.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZjuSuSjzR
"A-alright...you've proven your worth.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCLWxP8gbI
"Is this Chrono we're speaking to?" Arsenio asks as his Gift charges up once again and picks Catherine up.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcw9yyThR1
"I-I'm not sure.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUqiDoY8VB
"Make sure you're sure. I'd hate to hit you with this thing for no reason."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN43AGPclae
"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.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBFc5U77gV
Chrono shakes his head. "N-nevermind! Let us continue with the celebration, yes?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz8QkHAzUR
"To be honest, I'm worn out..."
Catherine huffed. "You're like...crazy strong."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKCvRDTpnT
"I-I'll make it up to you, I swear!"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVuqQQLc5r
Piravit peeks from the floor. "Can I come out now?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcwBqPPQ4B
"Depends.." Chrono says. "Are you willing to take your side of the deal?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1lA1tjc1z
"Eep!" Piravit says, coiling itself around Catherine and hiding behind her. "A-Ah! My part of the deal...?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYtDRK5WTs
"You shall give me full entry to your dimension. That was your promise to me."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShDaQ7VcP3
"...Fine. But you can't keep using Chrono as a vessel for your battles."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0oEDk4wNE
Chrono stares for a second, before hitting the ground, parts of his golden shell chipping off.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nfZK6GiWW
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.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GYtlguN6e
"He's suppressed his power...I think."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TU87QjIE2
"Wait, they have a gender?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6ds5qtBxW
"Yeah..." Piravit answered. "It is quite obvious that I'm female. No whiskers, see?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP2gUXyffj
"I guess.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRs03ZRUCo8
"Catherine! Arsenio!" Isabelle says, stumbling her own feet. "A-Are you two alright?"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnewWaD6Jc6
"I'm good. Not sure about Catherine though."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROPXrUO32g
"Nah, I'll be alright. I don't think he broke anything."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWc3JYYy2S
Nathaniel also approaches them with another tart in hand.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtgRfll2Qv
"Nate! You just had one of those things!"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpAzmErbqv
"I must try every single flavor." He says taking another giant bite.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNldXwvZdJ
"..M-Maybe we should g-go.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3mQmafiiv
"Are you sure? We can just...continue the party as normal.."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc08BA6S0Z
Arsenio shrugs. "Seems like a plan to me."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQdRX12zI2
Slowly, the music begins to play. Partners begin to group together. It was like the party was uninterrupted the entire time.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgMUaOibx8
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.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JqnnnKd7a
After the party, the Prodigies carried Chrono back into the House of Father Time.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnNpbUZsGy
"Thank you, you four. Hopefully I can get around with solving some of your Timebreaker problems sometime!"
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTy7PwQ0Wt
"We'd greatly appreciate it. We don't know how strong the next one'll be."
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueXQmMKDMF
Chrono waves them away as they go back to the Sanctuary. Ezra was already asleep when they returned, wrapped up in a blanket.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPk3MH3OGz
"Well, we should get some rest too."
Catherine announced.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWTh8DCp3G
"Way ahead of you." Arsenio says, dropping into the bed.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ1lYUM4ur
Everyone puts themselves to bed for the night, and the Prodigies fall asleep.
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqFCJzlKfE
Silently, in the middle of the night, someone's Tempural Energy swarmed the room...
435Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGEf4MEMcV
