"Rise and shine, Prodigies!" Verna's peppy voice awoken the group. "Let's get ready for the coronation of Father Time today!"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrePWEtmNZ
Catherine scratches her neck as she pushes the quilt off. "Coronation?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeLhBvQbNB
"Apparently, a new Father Time is to be crowned today." Nathaniel states, stretching.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjY8w3TFXVC
"Your mission today is to just watch over the new guy before the celebration begins. Pretty easy, right?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsDJZjIODx
"Wait...our job today is to be a goddamn babysitter?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kXwC69QEd
"If that's how you view it, yes. But as a reward, you get to go to the after-party!"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVjJsehsEx
"That at least solves dinner..." Ezra thinks aloud.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oPMd6409x
"Breakfast will be served once you get there, so just put on your clothes and shoes and...look a little presentable.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZqVNqM7vX
"No prob.." Arsenio says. "Let me just get my morning tea before I go.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6amNPGJYX7
"T-Tea?" Isabelle asks while brushing her hair.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEBatErv4E
"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."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMyyJVMOOL
"...Alright then..." Arsenio says, slowly sitting down and sliding his hands in his coat pockets. "I'll just wait until later then.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwtdyb8ian
"Is everyone ready?" Verna asks, peeking into the room as she does so.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZS0pRFTRP
"I think so.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4YOAPuhhQ
"Good, good!" she fully opens the doors to let the Prodigies out. "Then, let's go, shall we?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsfvJN4Po9
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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfgskjVmfk
"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."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2tjWx4dLP
"...Is it because he's blonde?" Catherine remarked.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NmXoAyGs9
"... That might have had a influence on the nickname, yes."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgAGt1ZUmN
They watched as walked stone faced across to the home of Father Time.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5USKsrErFj
"Let's go." Verna says, instructing them to follow Chrono.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaAFlL29gJ
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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOFMd3kmae
"Hello?" Catherine waited for a response.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTpfD7Kyb9
"J-Just a minute!" A voice called out before crashing and falling is heard. Then, from the stairs emerged Chrono.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlrj0naLWv
"Verna, very nice to see you again. And these four might be?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrhWBYj5iN
"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."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhNWBS86uu
"I see..."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHNoFlhsqx
"Thanks again for doing this, guys."
Verna time warps away.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EYGLjKP4z
"...Which one of you is which? I just don't want to be confused.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9ybfBaCfv
They introduce themselves once again, giving him some clarity.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKLCKszyMb
"Ah, well it's nice to meet all of you."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5vpd4Lueo
"Verna t-told us that w-we would have s-some breakfast.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1sHlL1FDL
"Of course. You've come here quite early, so I'm sure you four are starving."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgbjcrYnAM
"Yeah..." Catherine agreed, lightly holding her stomach.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2AMbMHziI
"I thought so. I've prepared something, so don't worry."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gmvPKITQz
Chrono brandishes a golden door, which he promptly throws open and reveals some nice breakfast meals, already plated and ready to eat.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlzjPQfdW9
"You m-made all of this yourself?!" Catherine exclaimed, impressed.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDDSlFoZyu
"I was just planning on making food for myself, but I didn't want to be rude.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhk8cDswvRP
"It does look rather...delectable..." Nathaniel says, clearing his throat.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0tcgH55zX
"Well, shall we eat or watch it get cold?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstouYyhzYj
The four Prodigies and the Son of Time all sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast, basically wolfing down the entire plate before them.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoziTgSIUeG
"Man, that was good..." Arsenio says, stretching in his seat.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rVhiBs1gM
"I'm glad you enjoyed. It's very difficult to find people who enjoy similar interests to me."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQhGHGMrG0
"Now what? Do you just read books and whatnot?" Catherine asked, taking the last sip of her drink.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchAAJQBj9s
"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.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWE4z63OsF
"Then why not join us? From what we've experienced, we certainly need the help." Arsenio asks, leaned back in his chair.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iXHFZwZem
"I was never suited for things like that, unfortunately..." Chrono sighs. "My Gift is also a little...hard to control."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtNn7dCyXD
"...Can we see it?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGUiWSrtB8
Chrono begins to rub his arms as guilt and embarrassment threw itself on his face.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMZKMlrME4
"You can say no, you know..." Catherine speaks. "No one's forcing you."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk2hPQuFud
"It's...complicated."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgLl5Ai0B2
"That's u-understandable...I have a Gift I can't quite c-control myself..."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUTJKJdDRQ
Dawlly immediately pops itself out of Isabelle's pocket with an annoyed look.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BnIQ08uCC
"I-It's true..." she looks at Dawlly with the same annoyed look.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64vfgwoZQx
"Interesting.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezuCle1sBC
"Is there anything else you like to do other than read and fantasize?" Catherine asks.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsYaRqmxFZ
"I like to learn more about my Gift."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSTG47Kt94
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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp0mHMLUja
"O-oh my.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCTJM0da7n
"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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwAjXrfln2
"So, what's your Gift? I'm sure you four have gotten one.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUtxxngkeA
Catherine nudges Nathaniel. "You show yours first. You're the supposed leader."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8T02Pzoz9
"I have never said that I was a leader..."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJLAigB7fV
"W-Well..." Isabelle added. "You d-do know the most out of all of us..."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIU2ijpQvG
"...Fine.." Nathaniel reluctantly agrees.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1zwF48lrB
First, his arm, then up to his shoulder, until his entire body was covered in armor.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2HV5uhFYp
"You never told me you could do that.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EhqKVxrFB
"I feel as if there is... no need to use the full Gift. It is...uncomfortable.." He speaks from within the suit.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd7MXK0uRF
"Well, get the hell out of it then..."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHkduE3ud1
He removes himself from the armor, reverting back to his velvet clothes.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrMuSX3bgS
"Well, since thou wants to assume roles, maybe thou would like to go next, co-leader?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV93TSmOIj
"Of course you pin this crap on me.." Catherine growled. "But sure, why not?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx31nYhdYf
She slips through her chair, and all the way through the floor.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoKgLMwJiZ
It was like she was in her own dimension, her escape from reality. She swam around as she heard the others from above.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7eAijydTF
That's when she heard a voice calling her name from the distance.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7TO4joYge
"Hello?" The voice creepily whispered.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0fcgnSwib
"The hell?" She exclaimed. That freaked her out enough to pull herself out of the Phasing dimension.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWT6JJ5fXG
She gasped, as if she was underwater when she crawled out.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfr2xkhqZx
"You alright? You've been in the floor for quite a while..." Arsenio mentioned.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm3DX45Zfb
"...Yeah, something just... freaked me out.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwn32oJZn7
She slides back in her seat...
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRA3egLXC4
"I-I'll go next..." Isabelle announces. Within seconds, the threads began pulling themselves out of her sleeves.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEMj8Se1c5
"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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtR3QB2m3G
"I just had to wake up today! Is it wrong to get some sleep around here?!"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw137BwRuRe
Dawlly smiles innocently as Isabelle continues to roar.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KH79Gi1NC
"Don't worry, I've got this.." Arsenio stands up. "Trust me, my charm is irresistible."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaL2vczZ5i
He grabs her wrists, looks her deep into her eyes..
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOVV0i01Ge
"Ah, great..." Catherine grumbled, rolling her eyes.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRO5hoh0BR
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that you look adorable when you're angry?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH32LvbaTt0
Isabelle, easily flustered and caught off guard, immediately snaps back to her timid self.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fMuVQLWnY
"See?" He points out. "It's like a secret perk I have." He starts throwing up two pieces of jewelry.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ysf7c9Azm
Isabelle immediately feels her ears.
"M-my earrings!"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bVGHNFKaG
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."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2rGymmAbB
Isabelle just kept turning red as she puts back on her earrings.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjawM4v8ZS
"So, you yourself do not have a Gift just yet, Arsenio?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTpD2LTEMn
"I haven't really felt anything, so no...I think."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjfOjksSsP
Outside, bells begin to ring. Chrono looks up at the clock sitting across the room from him on the wall.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZsx4vjphZ
"Ah...only an hour left..."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzTkKAwatd
"Is there anything else thou wants to say to us before thou becomes Father Time?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7CFRIn6pQ
"Use your Gift well, and I hope we get to see each other more in the future."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBB3gI2vgF
Chrono smiles genuinely.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWSdnO6reY
"So, what now?" Arsenio says, picking his teeth.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2edWHt9Tf
"Well, if you four are attending the ceremony, you'll have to be properly dressed."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakkFJJ4aT2
"Well, Verna could've told us that earlier.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t8UTmA5O0
"Don't worry, we have a public closet full of gowns and suits for you to wear."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNpG0Ye2Pm
Chrono stands up, leads them upstairs and pulls open a closet door.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqbADY95hh
There were attire in every color of the rainbow.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFtR3ynfb9
"Hey, now this is nice!" Catherine says, walking into the spacious closet.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuJpKPWCg5
"Don't be afraid to pick whatever you want!" Chrono says, leaving.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwOxImSKSl
Trying to decide what attire to wear, the Prodigies pick the most extravagant and dazzling outfit that fit them the most.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCiq7XtApC
The four take turns putting on their new clothes, which gleamed and twinkled in the light. Once the four return to the closet.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9XVchCHwj
"Looking nice girls.." Arsenio says.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkQJlkYh85
"These shoes are gonna kill me later, but yeah, thanks.."
Catherine complained.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdlQaPGceY
"Now that that portion has been completed.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CtNRv4T6e
Nathaniel grabs Arsenio by the shoulder.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRGbrR90LH
"Arsenio. Thou shall come with me."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXYbk3aXIc
He drags him away.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7fe7tAD2V
"Hey uh, Nathaniel, what are you trying to do?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUCDDCzXtf
"We must fix this hair of thine.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCjboPlX7o
"Wait...Nate no, my hair is fine-"
Nathaniel pulls Arsenio outside.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQLmWMEHhC
"Well, it w-wouldn't be too wrong to d-do the same, would it?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18X0bN5bqn
"No, we can take turns doing each other's hair. That seems hella fun!"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NHfNDAHXS
"O-okay!"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8Apl7ANWv
Isabelle finds some combs, brushes, and hair accessories.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93dqtBxdKI
"N-now, what kind of hairstyle would you want?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrhtDS1YiP
"Something simple, I guess. Not trying to impress anyone.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSuzBzXUZh
Isabelle gets to unbraiding Catherine's hair, carefully and gracefully taking it apart. In the middle of brushing however, Isabelle stops.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UVwrzM037
"Uhm...Catherine?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXniWpdyGFh
"Yeah?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpegzTLGtWX
"There's a m-mark or something...on your neck.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OokIAwEfD
"Huh? What does it look like?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsg7cKSEKL
"It l-looks like something scratched you... you didn't g-get attacked b-by anything, did you?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOrSkV0cx6
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.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkynreAIN1w
"D-Do you have any allergies?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd1f5FSPOt
"I'm not supposed to."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA2KbQzET1
"...Oh my.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbrJLw9NfZ
"I'm not too worried about it... it'll clear up soon..."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OcujmtMak
"...If you say so.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQGGfuCBDn
Isabelle continues to brush and straighten Catherine's hair. Before she knew it, Isabelle was already putting a flower pin neatly upon her head.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrBE1sgTkp
Isabelle puts a mirror in front of her face. "T-Tada!"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvSHSXlCGE
"Oh damn. That's actually really good."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZuCRgmWai
"T-thank you.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHDBr7MmLu
They switch positions, with Catherine sitting behind Isabelle to do her hair.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4kY9uuqjy
"Is there anything specific you want to get?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV4uvOmPhX
"U-Uhm.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlne29ww1yR
"Oh wait, I actually learned how to do this one hairstyle, French roll or something like that?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfXD4Il39T
"Okay, that one t-then.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZOMo10Lpw
"Alright."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnrM9QfL1X
Catherine gathers all of Isabelle's hair, pulling it together, wrapping it around itself, until it looks like the hairstyle.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz7Ra7Ht5n
"Crap, I don't have any hair pins.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPbQTsmjid
"D-don't worry, I have a backup.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZAL20UxzV
With her Gift, Isabelle sews the updo together until it fits securely, then places her own pin into her head.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkvXiMpvsv
"...That works too.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Fh9DDpfd2
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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rBLcqwR75
"I still don't get why you did this, it was fine as it is.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QKQdWdsJ2
"Trust me, thou would rather look like this."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rzns7wdFg
"I see the boys didn't have a good time picking out hairstyles." Catherine taunted.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc6o3GlFjH
"T-They do seem to be in a debate.." Isabelle added.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOSaYxkRFW
"It's gonna take forever to put my hair back now.." Arsenio protested.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI6i5PFO88
"Let's not w-worry about that... we're supposed t-to have fun.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXECGx8fNNN
"Yeah, I guess that's true..."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRJiz2TOtV
There was thirty more minutes left. Still plenty of time to waste. Chrono comes back to check on them.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXVFtahAFb
"Ah, looking exquisite Prodigies!" Chrono praises them. "I'm sure you'll be the best looking ones out there!"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIB3HsQsRr
"Eh, I doubt it, but I feel a lot prettier in this poofy thing.." Catherine flutters the ends of her dress.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySZ2vnxp3M
"Ah, don't be so modest, you look great!"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgaOka28sp
"Well, we still have lots of time. What should we do until then?" Arsenio asks.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDkY4CAW5u
"Why wait?" Chrono asks. "I can manipulate time at will. I'll just skip time a few minutes.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOZKbCRXiF
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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDNfnuRrtr
"...That was...strange."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpuWHHaYel
"Let's go. The ceremony's about to start."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8HYQsGPKv
Catherine pushes Chrono out of the door. "We're right behind you, don't worry."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJhF20vl1w
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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6RFupcFUZ
The crowd begins to applaud as Verna appears behind Chrono. She clears her throat.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoy77k6CKG
"Welcome everyone, to Chrono's coronation. It's been a while since we've had one of these, huh?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ364SypQ3B
The crowd erupted into light laughter.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty58KIv7XK
"Anyways," she continued. "let's get to the best part."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESvafsybPr
She turns Chrono around, hold his hands gently.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWmI9PHVfJ
"Do you solemnly swear, as long as you live, that you will fairly rule over the Time Realm?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvhWX5qhtF
Chrono silently nods.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TKJYQ3nGK
Verna releases his hands, opens her own, and in them, appears an extravagant crown which seemed to glow in the light.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7AhU3K68z
"Well then," she places it upon his head. "..you are now Father Time."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal4bJ65wYE
Everyone explodes into cheers. The Prodigies couldn't help but clap along.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cGEeCkIlf
"Now, let us commence. Grab a partner, for the party is about to begin!"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRoiv6iGb7
Groups begin to pull apart into parties of two, music begins to fade in.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19kwJil1FE
Catherine feels fluttery from the tension.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiff1A6vQR
"...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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1DZMv0NYe
"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."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoEuwref5E
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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzs6QJFZd9k
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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjaPXh6pNZ
"Does thou plan to do this at every party?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1xncDjq67
Catherine finds the source of the tension. She knew Nathaniel was standing behind her the entire time. Without looking back, she responds.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovKin11jq6
"I don't have anything else to do. Why'd you follow me anyway?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly8tCWspDn
"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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCoCrNRWBK
"Nate, you dumbass..."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnLiULzqvA
"Hm?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiP4FjtMXk
"You have jam and crap all over your face.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGmt6I50MO
She pulls a napkin, and is just about to hand it to him, when a voice yells in pain, quieting the party to silence.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjgOr8DeiB
"...What's going on?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFqKiFNGWF
"I am not sure."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gVRkeOyan
"...Boost me."

"What?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vR8TUktuL
Catherine struggles to climb up Nathaniel. Once she reaches his shoulders, her eyes catch something unexpected.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1fWMiecWM
"It's...Chrono.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMosLSBoR96
The two push participants out of the way.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbWviZIouX
"I was worried about his hands and..." a girl whispered towards them.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1gdJ0zbv3
"Don't worry, we've got this."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWluLL5WZPv
It seems like his Gift was finally coming into play.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDHQjan8Ku
"Chrono...are you alright?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwMmfjNCrn
Chrono grabs the edge of Catherine's dress to pull himself up.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JPS0xdnxW
"I'm fine, really! My Gift just... activated all on it's own.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwoGvzAWll
As he stands up, everyone could see his Gift's true form. His face was plated halfway with gold, just as his arms were.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUdvWKEgss
"But seriously, I'm fine!"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcCCALGZqP
More of his face became jagged.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRLzTmQGaw
"... Let's go. Nate, you get Arsenio and Isabelle."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GHNZonS2J
Catherine pulled Chrono away from the party, taking him back the House of Father Time.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUofuEbf4a4
"Okay, Chrono...what happened?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86skQEAyLg
"I-I think the stress...plus the demonstration from this morning..."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfk96vCk4P
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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlAPEUrVNX
"C-Chrono? Are you okay?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w2opbpAud
"I-I am f-fine, Prodigies...this is just what happens...It's a little painful, though..."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf2Q3ag9uN
More barbs rip around his body, horns even start to curve from his head.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ouS0csLFJ
"O-Oh goodness.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi2do2DLTd
"I just have to...fight it. I can't hurt anyone if..."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQZ50Nhvff
His breathing gets heavier than stones.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSZKsIpVX4
"Is there anyone we can get for help?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QUlNa9MGm
"You don't need to bring anyone. Just...leave before it.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrAWgZ4sRZ
Without thinking, Chrono threw a glass from a table right beside him.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZvdZHyDNq
"Okay okay! Let's calm down.." Arsenio says, recovering from dodging.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNldf96kMU
"I-I can't! It's going to..."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAp9vFu6HJ
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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMC5wb4Nyp
Catherine simply used Phasing to break her fall, diving into the floor.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoYmksQFT3
The voice from before called again. "There she is again!"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rtNby0QpV
"...Who the hell are you? What do you want?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrvyF4HxDQ
She saw a stripe of bright cyan wave past her. Catherine tried desperately to find where the line went.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp4Q5FOCIz
"...Behind you.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpmxlyy69f
Catherine turned around to see the menacing face of a dragon staring back at her. She was about to take a breath to scream.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFki3jUnIh
"Hey, don't scream. I just want to know how you got here."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfH0QmX5Em
Catherine confusingly looks.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSga44eMvR0
"This is my Gift...I can phase through crap like it's water. I broke my fall from a building.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjJjDtre5B
"Oh, you must be the person I marked yesterday. Makes sense, I guess.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KrEjIRlhE
"M-Marked?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqlTkWJTlB
"That itch you could never satisfy." It points towards Catherine's neck.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZtGQiJp5f
"...Wait, that was you?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXYH2oT4GG
The serpent playfully clears it's throat before bellowing menacingly.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RvDZMRuVm
"Allow me to become you, and I shall spare your life!"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr9dAQq7mg
"...Do I get other abilities other than falling through stuff?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdXtyJtTqp
The dragon shrugs. "I think so?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR8oGHbWYI
"Great. Come on then."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsxDx2HrSD
It phases through Catherine, unlocking a surge of energy and power within her.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS5IGu9JsF
Catherine climbs out of the dimension as the others were looking for her.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7E5yI5cM0
"Sorry if I scared you guys.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmAaH4Gq4g
"Catherine! Y-you're okay!"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D1VpzTSkb
"Yeah, I just got a new friend."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2DvfBwLip
The dragon only appeared as a ghost coiled around her body.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmZvGibvsf
"And her name is?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K1r3btzsw
"Not sure.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF2H1HPdPl
Like a ghost, the dragon swapped her soul with Catherine's.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp0RwjSrv8
"Piravit. My name is Piravit, the Spiritual Dragon of Phasing. I have chosen Catherine here as my host..."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssdJhFZ9AP
"Thou is...possessing her.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIxWTgG0T3
"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."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnkYTykBZM
"Cool. Now...about him.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWZpMxOLOk
Arsenio points at the shattered window that Catherine fell out of.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5ifOmLzBo
Chrono's roar echoed throughout the realm as he perched on the window.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1svoVkTwe
"Oi! You have some explaining to do!"
Catherine says as she takes back control of her body.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk5ytqT5eN
"...Catherine, that's the Time Beast!"
Piravit says as a echoing voice inside her head.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpQXoFgnh2
"Eh? That's Chrono, that's just his Gift."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLajDNl5bD
"Like you, he's been marked. If he sees me with you, he'll kill us both!"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqoPnkRcxI
As on cue, Chrono jumps down right in front of Catherine, as if analyzing her. Then with angry aura, throws her again.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh1KloHfIp
Catherine hits the ground, tumbling.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAEied9DTs
She struggles to pick herself up, as Chrono runs towards her.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwro7BqAGz7
"What the hell did you do for him to get pissed off?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E3fGI4qDy
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.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTg1qB3Ct5
"You have gotta be kidding me!"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAn4X45Nx0
"But don't worry! I'm sure if we beat him, he'll come to his senses!"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawyDGPbi43
Chrono pulls a punch towards them, only to be stopped by Isabelle's thread.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQjcrVLmsC
"C-Chrono! You h-have to come t-to your senses!"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqpcleX5J2
"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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI1DBp6osi
"I-I'm sorry...I can't k-keep him still..."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTmMYFwM2M
"It's alright! You've spared me some time!"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY60L95ffw
"Let me take over!" Piravit immediately pulls Catherine out, becoming the one in control.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyggCjcdpHA
As soon as Chrono began a barrage of punches, Piravit pulls away, but was able to only dodge a few before tanking them.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZIw5gLbY1
"He's way too fast! I can't get a hit on him!"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkrmuUfuJO
As Chrono kept punching her in the chest, Piravit, in Catherine's body, was thinking of ideas, pondering as hard as her breathing.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdEO7aLAka
Piravit begins to punch rapidly in response, until the two stop.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBeJMKpope
"I have to say..." Piravit states tauntingly. " You've given me quite the workout since I left my dimension-"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLQQBklUnj
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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiB7Q4xzFf
"So, p-playing dirty are we?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mURoOlzg2
Chrono responds with an angry, but silent, glare.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGX5MDgtMM
"Great, I like games without rules..."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIeiUEwzXf
Piravit phases back into the floor. When they return to the Phasing Dimension, the two separate.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ502qxno8tW
"Okay, so new plan..."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cCip8yKCv
Catherine coughs as she feels the after effects of earlier.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2J3D464Bi
"You better think of something and fast..."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4jKvUQpxi
"There's one last thing we can do, but you have to follow a specific set of rules and-"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2FHyduwCY
"Nevermind... I'll figure something out.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAY0zST5I3
Catherine jumps from the dimension and behind Chrono, where she sneakily kicks him.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF5YCJEAHi
Piravit follows shortly behind her.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKHHUP0ZuI
She kneels down towards Chrono.
"Well? Are you having fun yet? Not fun being attacked without noticing, huh?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhD3cHPwvP
Chrono swipes at Catherine's arm, barely cutting her.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoKHQZyLQ8
"...Nah. Didn't think so.." she says, standing up. "Didn't know you'd get this bad.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2SwJPJWjD
She picks him up. "Come on. Let's finish this so you can go back to normal at least. I have things to do.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvkE8LNR0D
Catherine stands in a fighting position.
"I'll only use my power alone."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCXwF6tGsu
"Then allow me to join you." Arsenio says, standing beside her.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs2aprdyRm
"What are you gonna do, flirt him to death?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDldeK14I0T
"I actually had something else in mind.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxCNwLlWKM
Arsenio was finally able to conjure a Gift, as an arm cannon faded to fit on top of his hand.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl8LFxqJiE
"I wanted to test this thing, you know?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaGqBgWZLM
"...Whatever."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfvs4XKnrD
"Come forward..." Chrono says menacingly.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgWfm3bQ2s
"Whatever you say, your Majesty."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsh0eQEvEA
As the two-on-one began, more of the participants of the ceremony began to watch from a distance.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtakXUhiWMh
"Seems like we've made quite an audience.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBZf9QiCzd
"Let's make this the best coronation the Time Realm has ever seen.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xz08B9sVk
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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl21KrwedK
With a sharp yell, time itself began to slow.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1F4EHWpxa
"Damnit! We're stuck until.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YL7BJUitJ
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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAvbPDZWr0
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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9dVFv8g4m
"...I don't think we're gonna make it if he keeps stopping time like that.." She says, spitting up blood and standing up.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngLr2pftvb
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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Te1U5nKcP
Catherine jumps up.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyj7tdpD7v
"You're welcome!" Arsenio says from afar.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFDa4rA8zJ
"Thanks! Keep looking for openings!"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp13olYidM
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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fNY6OlrFe
"A-alright...you've proven your worth.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RpsrAIcCo
"Is this Chrono we're speaking to?" Arsenio asks as his Gift charges up once again and picks Catherine up.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3iBl4Kenc
"I-I'm not sure.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsMLtop52V
"Make sure you're sure. I'd hate to hit you with this thing for no reason."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrqOadmwP5
"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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCD4tdycA7
Chrono shakes his head. "N-nevermind! Let us continue with the celebration, yes?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pKqWOaShk
"To be honest, I'm worn out..."
Catherine huffed. "You're like...crazy strong."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP3kemH8wj
"I-I'll make it up to you, I swear!"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemqUibbaIT
Piravit peeks from the floor. "Can I come out now?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsSpqPwyl4
"Depends.." Chrono says. "Are you willing to take your side of the deal?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb101IhfS7
"Eep!" Piravit says, coiling itself around Catherine and hiding behind her. "A-Ah! My part of the deal...?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfbBO6AN7j
"You shall give me full entry to your dimension. That was your promise to me."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnAI4TNjHn
"...Fine. But you can't keep using Chrono as a vessel for your battles."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYpjkVsawe
Chrono stares for a second, before hitting the ground, parts of his golden shell chipping off.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDITbBbGnmr
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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WQgsqK1so
"He's suppressed his power...I think."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4Yo9Orsj8
"Wait, they have a gender?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcSy46OOFk
"Yeah..." Piravit answered. "It is quite obvious that I'm female. No whiskers, see?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLX8fCn0xo
"I guess.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZcohifwKH
"Catherine! Arsenio!" Isabelle says, stumbling her own feet. "A-Are you two alright?"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqGmsDFV8i
"I'm good. Not sure about Catherine though."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH3iGOAW5Z
"Nah, I'll be alright. I don't think he broke anything."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY7Lwq00Td
Nathaniel also approaches them with another tart in hand.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkh4ZW4wF7
"Nate! You just had one of those things!"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrcWYeRbwf
"I must try every single flavor." He says taking another giant bite.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD4RqgHlGb
"..M-Maybe we should g-go.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQQaMVqRk3
"Are you sure? We can just...continue the party as normal.."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2mPS2kYXH
Arsenio shrugs. "Seems like a plan to me."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqkbxLtSH2
Slowly, the music begins to play. Partners begin to group together. It was like the party was uninterrupted the entire time.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1oTRHGqtJ
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.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiXgOV8d1Y
After the party, the Prodigies carried Chrono back into the House of Father Time.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3actgmqH8x
"Thank you, you four. Hopefully I can get around with solving some of your Timebreaker problems sometime!"
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1UWvMiFx5
"We'd greatly appreciate it. We don't know how strong the next one'll be."
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImnNTqwk7c
Chrono waves them away as they go back to the Sanctuary. Ezra was already asleep when they returned, wrapped up in a blanket.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PRACoKlNp
"Well, we should get some rest too."
Catherine announced.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNjegD5YM0
"Way ahead of you." Arsenio says, dropping into the bed.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qAbj747BD
Everyone puts themselves to bed for the night, and the Prodigies fall asleep.
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfwhDU1roS
Silently, in the middle of the night, someone's Tempural Energy swarmed the room...
436Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtolbwTxyTR
