"Rise and shine, Prodigies!" Verna's peppy voice awoken the group. "Let's get ready for the coronation of Father Time today!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKJwuKV2UZ
Catherine scratches her neck as she pushes the quilt off. "Coronation?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hZgQc5zK8
"Apparently, a new Father Time is to be crowned today." Nathaniel states, stretching.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS82TC5ccGc
"Your mission today is to just watch over the new guy before the celebration begins. Pretty easy, right?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJyX4nkAhw
"Wait...our job today is to be a goddamn babysitter?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cAhcx7apR
"If that's how you view it, yes. But as a reward, you get to go to the after-party!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7MxfxmvYE
"That at least solves dinner..." Ezra thinks aloud.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNUIrgm1g8
"Breakfast will be served once you get there, so just put on your clothes and shoes and...look a little presentable.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxlfWxqrTL
"No prob.." Arsenio says. "Let me just get my morning tea before I go.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqqMzX1BOq
"T-Tea?" Isabelle asks while brushing her hair.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvqhb3078X
"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."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WYUcU1C2A
"...Alright then..." Arsenio says, slowly sitting down and sliding his hands in his coat pockets. "I'll just wait until later then.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNicUc6lJ4
"Is everyone ready?" Verna asks, peeking into the room as she does so.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheouFaTuaJ
"I think so.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLsNsVA011
"Good, good!" she fully opens the doors to let the Prodigies out. "Then, let's go, shall we?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMkbVX2mG6
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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡackaVyc7yb
"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."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfT0mMmmjr
"...Is it because he's blonde?" Catherine remarked.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRxsdCJrcy
"... That might have had a influence on the nickname, yes."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJIep8zBak
They watched as walked stone faced across to the home of Father Time.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0g0AI4HcS
"Let's go." Verna says, instructing them to follow Chrono.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaOKXrrAyB
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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDknFSB2Z2
"Hello?" Catherine waited for a response.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4sjnxEeX0
"J-Just a minute!" A voice called out before crashing and falling is heard. Then, from the stairs emerged Chrono.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAe5xpwVhI
"Verna, very nice to see you again. And these four might be?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHK2Ft8F3b
"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."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz5VeO7pGc
"I see..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWqS8h4i6H
"Thanks again for doing this, guys."
Verna time warps away.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUOQAmM42l
"...Which one of you is which? I just don't want to be confused.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dyiBiSayS
They introduce themselves once again, giving him some clarity.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvptu89Bwod
"Ah, well it's nice to meet all of you."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNrMXtre1E
"Verna t-told us that w-we would have s-some breakfast.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUmOCcH6yS
"Of course. You've come here quite early, so I'm sure you four are starving."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJoU5ZI6kI
"Yeah..." Catherine agreed, lightly holding her stomach.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqBtGTU6ba
"I thought so. I've prepared something, so don't worry."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsItNAml9l8
Chrono brandishes a golden door, which he promptly throws open and reveals some nice breakfast meals, already plated and ready to eat.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAWNkDoMto
"You m-made all of this yourself?!" Catherine exclaimed, impressed.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOpJEgJlqW
"I was just planning on making food for myself, but I didn't want to be rude.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQlvC4XGNx
"It does look rather...delectable..." Nathaniel says, clearing his throat.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp691sg250
"Well, shall we eat or watch it get cold?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqDl9lorXk
The four Prodigies and the Son of Time all sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast, basically wolfing down the entire plate before them.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguwko441JA
"Man, that was good..." Arsenio says, stretching in his seat.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6N5TAg0V5
"I'm glad you enjoyed. It's very difficult to find people who enjoy similar interests to me."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeVGC01Afz
"Now what? Do you just read books and whatnot?" Catherine asked, taking the last sip of her drink.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuOXc3zvQX
"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.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwCHOaXiBT
"Then why not join us? From what we've experienced, we certainly need the help." Arsenio asks, leaned back in his chair.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOwGvEpH0b
"I was never suited for things like that, unfortunately..." Chrono sighs. "My Gift is also a little...hard to control."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrJMTFdIih
"...Can we see it?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTqArOcyMd
Chrono begins to rub his arms as guilt and embarrassment threw itself on his face.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIUFGWqSsV
"You can say no, you know..." Catherine speaks. "No one's forcing you."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYpSnvxwTH
"It's...complicated."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLwuFEP0AS
"That's u-understandable...I have a Gift I can't quite c-control myself..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXZAK0n3qI
Dawlly immediately pops itself out of Isabelle's pocket with an annoyed look.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoe2cpvp3w
"I-It's true..." she looks at Dawlly with the same annoyed look.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Z7HxEKwSy
"Interesting.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQuG6imLob
"Is there anything else you like to do other than read and fantasize?" Catherine asks.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf29hhSNxh6
"I like to learn more about my Gift."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1XSMweQH6
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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9dbB5jKz0
"O-oh my.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oRdtJkknv
"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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaxKjaLLpK
"So, what's your Gift? I'm sure you four have gotten one.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOoCQZtW3o
Catherine nudges Nathaniel. "You show yours first. You're the supposed leader."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0TqOmsB80
"I have never said that I was a leader..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyglqTS9Fe
"W-Well..." Isabelle added. "You d-do know the most out of all of us..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24oQvO3Ldg
"...Fine.." Nathaniel reluctantly agrees.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQn1qofqB9
First, his arm, then up to his shoulder, until his entire body was covered in armor.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzZqIZFGdh
"You never told me you could do that.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIioebvYvz
"I feel as if there is... no need to use the full Gift. It is...uncomfortable.." He speaks from within the suit.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERZcLeeAto
"Well, get the hell out of it then..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHzcvts2u9
He removes himself from the armor, reverting back to his velvet clothes.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2MTrA5c9o
"Well, since thou wants to assume roles, maybe thou would like to go next, co-leader?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeTJQo1em9
"Of course you pin this crap on me.." Catherine growled. "But sure, why not?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1byxJQl4J
She slips through her chair, and all the way through the floor.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8FdKJQfiV
It was like she was in her own dimension, her escape from reality. She swam around as she heard the others from above.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfClMt9jeFr
That's when she heard a voice calling her name from the distance.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB67rVJQRT
"Hello?" The voice creepily whispered.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToxHEoXTRI
"The hell?" She exclaimed. That freaked her out enough to pull herself out of the Phasing dimension.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRu8kHsNE7
She gasped, as if she was underwater when she crawled out.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA7YIiCnCA
"You alright? You've been in the floor for quite a while..." Arsenio mentioned.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAGpgVUCOj
"...Yeah, something just... freaked me out.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEwFy2F4wE
She slides back in her seat...
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxkqE3Yi8l
"I-I'll go next..." Isabelle announces. Within seconds, the threads began pulling themselves out of her sleeves.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdnkSyJE9r
"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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7UIq25iM2
"I just had to wake up today! Is it wrong to get some sleep around here?!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAAIitFx1O
Dawlly smiles innocently as Isabelle continues to roar.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgqeqKuW8M
"Don't worry, I've got this.." Arsenio stands up. "Trust me, my charm is irresistible."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDVdVJK7th
He grabs her wrists, looks her deep into her eyes..
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNsHbof8Qk
"Ah, great..." Catherine grumbled, rolling her eyes.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QnvfVTdtO
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that you look adorable when you're angry?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy4JFzCpCe
Isabelle, easily flustered and caught off guard, immediately snaps back to her timid self.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzGzGUKOpM
"See?" He points out. "It's like a secret perk I have." He starts throwing up two pieces of jewelry.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLiBVZNuxM
Isabelle immediately feels her ears.
"M-my earrings!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZZu4OMuKi
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."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBGnNPlLZi
Isabelle just kept turning red as she puts back on her earrings.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWa17oQsjX
"So, you yourself do not have a Gift just yet, Arsenio?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRonR7rxTs7
"I haven't really felt anything, so no...I think."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2o2owFXLA
Outside, bells begin to ring. Chrono looks up at the clock sitting across the room from him on the wall.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBseDKEU5n
"Ah...only an hour left..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5x6diDdjx
"Is there anything else thou wants to say to us before thou becomes Father Time?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj08cuOjZn
"Use your Gift well, and I hope we get to see each other more in the future."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjSsP6UCMK
Chrono smiles genuinely.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEpCJKyWuL
"So, what now?" Arsenio says, picking his teeth.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOfPUmj7MP
"Well, if you four are attending the ceremony, you'll have to be properly dressed."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWdXQFbw8I
"Well, Verna could've told us that earlier.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvmVPqHFTk
"Don't worry, we have a public closet full of gowns and suits for you to wear."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWppbqJ9dy
Chrono stands up, leads them upstairs and pulls open a closet door.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg4TUcz1XD
There were attire in every color of the rainbow.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyruSByTFON
"Hey, now this is nice!" Catherine says, walking into the spacious closet.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2lVLiy7V0
"Don't be afraid to pick whatever you want!" Chrono says, leaving.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cSl9bv7UN
Trying to decide what attire to wear, the Prodigies pick the most extravagant and dazzling outfit that fit them the most.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFEeawUTbB
The four take turns putting on their new clothes, which gleamed and twinkled in the light. Once the four return to the closet.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRm8bqD3QPq
"Looking nice girls.." Arsenio says.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1Ce3gFyx7
"These shoes are gonna kill me later, but yeah, thanks.."
Catherine complained.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhZf1DvrwT
"Now that that portion has been completed.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcERbmepuQD
Nathaniel grabs Arsenio by the shoulder.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqauYfpvqNQ
"Arsenio. Thou shall come with me."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSa1eiKcMV
He drags him away.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXR5PWFNSg
"Hey uh, Nathaniel, what are you trying to do?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwv1sACIbI
"We must fix this hair of thine.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcQhlxQnyE
"Wait...Nate no, my hair is fine-"
Nathaniel pulls Arsenio outside.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCuJmaMo2A
"Well, it w-wouldn't be too wrong to d-do the same, would it?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOQnD4Wy3k
"No, we can take turns doing each other's hair. That seems hella fun!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm33JR9CR6K
"O-okay!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI0Jlr6jpL
Isabelle finds some combs, brushes, and hair accessories.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4i28Oq85rW
"N-now, what kind of hairstyle would you want?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTOEyyKfcd
"Something simple, I guess. Not trying to impress anyone.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJtD3ZosCH
Isabelle gets to unbraiding Catherine's hair, carefully and gracefully taking it apart. In the middle of brushing however, Isabelle stops.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlU9YzFPH0
"Uhm...Catherine?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4QR53KMyb
"Yeah?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6cEKWTqYI
"There's a m-mark or something...on your neck.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6msww9Gbw
"Huh? What does it look like?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoRvFjYnpl
"It l-looks like something scratched you... you didn't g-get attacked b-by anything, did you?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw3ptw4kDO
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.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u9U0rYsGa
"D-Do you have any allergies?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBvVcSoHR0
"I'm not supposed to."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC9Mj4yhRG
"...Oh my.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALO3d78gm7
"I'm not too worried about it... it'll clear up soon..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKlHWfAfx6
"...If you say so.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcVe1q7DDV
Isabelle continues to brush and straighten Catherine's hair. Before she knew it, Isabelle was already putting a flower pin neatly upon her head.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l6Bc8tjVK
Isabelle puts a mirror in front of her face. "T-Tada!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0wLAi0trO
"Oh damn. That's actually really good."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXm7zmEEga
"T-thank you.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBck4dR8ria
They switch positions, with Catherine sitting behind Isabelle to do her hair.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMCE3X104w
"Is there anything specific you want to get?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgobN84vCi
"U-Uhm.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufeDqHpdR3
"Oh wait, I actually learned how to do this one hairstyle, French roll or something like that?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RbLBvCBv2
"Okay, that one t-then.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznfgaMxH6q
"Alright."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD2muU8EXo
Catherine gathers all of Isabelle's hair, pulling it together, wrapping it around itself, until it looks like the hairstyle.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvRiNj2b0K
"Crap, I don't have any hair pins.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs32pYcRRFV
"D-don't worry, I have a backup.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbXOztLHN9
With her Gift, Isabelle sews the updo together until it fits securely, then places her own pin into her head.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGc3cmsAPW
"...That works too.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQQ9viahbZ
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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k2TpI09Iy
"I still don't get why you did this, it was fine as it is.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYCAPyiior
"Trust me, thou would rather look like this."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDua7ErIqX
"I see the boys didn't have a good time picking out hairstyles." Catherine taunted.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0kpmOpzoh
"T-They do seem to be in a debate.." Isabelle added.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb0Ms9OYwj
"It's gonna take forever to put my hair back now.." Arsenio protested.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzd4PTaN8DO
"Let's not w-worry about that... we're supposed t-to have fun.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcZxB0eiZm
"Yeah, I guess that's true..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKEsmh8Srz
There was thirty more minutes left. Still plenty of time to waste. Chrono comes back to check on them.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DKgC6s967
"Ah, looking exquisite Prodigies!" Chrono praises them. "I'm sure you'll be the best looking ones out there!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsAQt48ml6
"Eh, I doubt it, but I feel a lot prettier in this poofy thing.." Catherine flutters the ends of her dress.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59HHVsoBtv
"Ah, don't be so modest, you look great!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCxQSRoLXJ
"Well, we still have lots of time. What should we do until then?" Arsenio asks.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YJLI5A2Ua
"Why wait?" Chrono asks. "I can manipulate time at will. I'll just skip time a few minutes.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ0EEoC81c
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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliuYnbvhVs
"...That was...strange."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVq4OHryH0
"Let's go. The ceremony's about to start."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBew2KJJ2em
Catherine pushes Chrono out of the door. "We're right behind you, don't worry."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCRuC7g6Im
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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7Hffo4wvC
The crowd begins to applaud as Verna appears behind Chrono. She clears her throat.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XxNMsR56A
"Welcome everyone, to Chrono's coronation. It's been a while since we've had one of these, huh?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCp85YWL0W
The crowd erupted into light laughter.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L6YBLWlwP
"Anyways," she continued. "let's get to the best part."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGOtEURzd4
She turns Chrono around, hold his hands gently.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16qzdJc2f1
"Do you solemnly swear, as long as you live, that you will fairly rule over the Time Realm?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yA6wWBNuH
Chrono silently nods.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZ75Gqy9F2
Verna releases his hands, opens her own, and in them, appears an extravagant crown which seemed to glow in the light.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAkKMxNBgH
"Well then," she places it upon his head. "..you are now Father Time."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30OQTfw6tm
Everyone explodes into cheers. The Prodigies couldn't help but clap along.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1gt12d5Mg
"Now, let us commence. Grab a partner, for the party is about to begin!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81pqXlYfhQ
Groups begin to pull apart into parties of two, music begins to fade in.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S5pmitqKJ
Catherine feels fluttery from the tension.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtcMixU7Jv
"...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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO5kttGZNZ
"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."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yhcS5JO2U
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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h70COmF6h
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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNpLfvuYb0
"Does thou plan to do this at every party?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kLRmjr5eJ
Catherine finds the source of the tension. She knew Nathaniel was standing behind her the entire time. Without looking back, she responds.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5mPCbLrba
"I don't have anything else to do. Why'd you follow me anyway?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6VA5BsMbd
"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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmvY0Egiuu
"Nate, you dumbass..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XqDHbbD9o
"Hm?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxC12vDEQIY
"You have jam and crap all over your face.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH0LDNRLR1
She pulls a napkin, and is just about to hand it to him, when a voice yells in pain, quieting the party to silence.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYiDYPq8UO
"...What's going on?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYajeb4ghtK
"I am not sure."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDFJ0BBMcF
"...Boost me."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPwW881pRW
"What?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9430hC3xXC
Catherine struggles to climb up Nathaniel. Once she reaches his shoulders, her eyes catch something unexpected.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWSrVf1sX2
"It's...Chrono.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3fRQtFOdo
The two push participants out of the way.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFllIogaXOj
"I was worried about his hands and..." a girl whispered towards them.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ODaxBxYtj
"Don't worry, we've got this."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVlgMh8Bso
It seems like his Gift was finally coming into play.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCmojrIoZG
"Chrono...are you alright?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHT93e77HQ
Chrono grabs the edge of Catherine's dress to pull himself up.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXDTfQbUKN
"I'm fine, really! My Gift just... activated all on it's own.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlX1jTMOrV
As he stands up, everyone could see his Gift's true form. His face was plated halfway with gold, just as his arms were.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiprTbSrgcC
"But seriously, I'm fine!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGchxWhyxO
More of his face became jagged.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCxUOQukaZ
"... Let's go. Nate, you get Arsenio and Isabelle."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8wdJLSIyg
Catherine pulled Chrono away from the party, taking him back the House of Father Time.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz31ioN2cey
"Okay, Chrono...what happened?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIackjjMfx2
"I-I think the stress...plus the demonstration from this morning..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEmeml30EL
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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsdbkmuDCR
"C-Chrono? Are you okay?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qBV3O6qPA
"I-I am f-fine, Prodigies...this is just what happens...It's a little painful, though..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01z4h46ZRt
More barbs rip around his body, horns even start to curve from his head.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DaBDEImtO
"O-Oh goodness.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkecKXHV4E
"I just have to...fight it. I can't hurt anyone if..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNEcrvfsx7
His breathing gets heavier than stones.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9dJMGrymk
"Is there anyone we can get for help?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYMCmq8QiX
"You don't need to bring anyone. Just...leave before it.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8zuKqvpsa
Without thinking, Chrono threw a glass from a table right beside him.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C1Ul4IlRM
"Okay okay! Let's calm down.." Arsenio says, recovering from dodging.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEotcJAOeF
"I-I can't! It's going to..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHwJdKSQ9x
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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcx5GZ2Eim
Catherine simply used Phasing to break her fall, diving into the floor.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jRB9ttgCp
The voice from before called again. "There she is again!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUaAzlaUqQ
"...Who the hell are you? What do you want?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8vfqgVvuh
She saw a stripe of bright cyan wave past her. Catherine tried desperately to find where the line went.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3i2uer74P
"...Behind you.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlJp44u9N4
Catherine turned around to see the menacing face of a dragon staring back at her. She was about to take a breath to scream.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAOkh1yqmj
"Hey, don't scream. I just want to know how you got here."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH90bgJezEX
Catherine confusingly looks.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVShzEwr4r
"This is my Gift...I can phase through crap like it's water. I broke my fall from a building.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2bzHe382a
"Oh, you must be the person I marked yesterday. Makes sense, I guess.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XP3djLgZi
"M-Marked?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvpo1M1HOI
"That itch you could never satisfy." It points towards Catherine's neck.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmChYFJj9rj
"...Wait, that was you?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBnAUgKf8E
The serpent playfully clears it's throat before bellowing menacingly.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6psNe3fY1l
"Allow me to become you, and I shall spare your life!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w4HoDXZlk
"...Do I get other abilities other than falling through stuff?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGE261RokP
The dragon shrugs. "I think so?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN72tzhCUBs
"Great. Come on then."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsy7ovcF0f
It phases through Catherine, unlocking a surge of energy and power within her.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx1JbIHgpF
Catherine climbs out of the dimension as the others were looking for her.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvK8iLqrDU
"Sorry if I scared you guys.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3OAnpCQAL
"Catherine! Y-you're okay!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IfoH5br0I
"Yeah, I just got a new friend."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06ekeNYREQ
The dragon only appeared as a ghost coiled around her body.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAYwg6xYw6
"And her name is?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VuBUOPrte
"Not sure.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk8KUdtOaZ
Like a ghost, the dragon swapped her soul with Catherine's.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9t2cHlKi8
"Piravit. My name is Piravit, the Spiritual Dragon of Phasing. I have chosen Catherine here as my host..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLQe7KqmnR
"Thou is...possessing her.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi0Sq48Pac
"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."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPyxTzh4Xl
"Cool. Now...about him.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcLeBr5SNm
Arsenio points at the shattered window that Catherine fell out of.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZWfeW4Y4V
Chrono's roar echoed throughout the realm as he perched on the window.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq89OCm7x7x
"Oi! You have some explaining to do!"
Catherine says as she takes back control of her body.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHhkpxSQaT
"...Catherine, that's the Time Beast!"
Piravit says as a echoing voice inside her head.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD1TNPRDOp
"Eh? That's Chrono, that's just his Gift."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXjsa7qvUK
"Like you, he's been marked. If he sees me with you, he'll kill us both!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYndAfd3f0Q
As on cue, Chrono jumps down right in front of Catherine, as if analyzing her. Then with angry aura, throws her again.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF41lRwlgj
Catherine hits the ground, tumbling.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWEgJFZLmm
She struggles to pick herself up, as Chrono runs towards her.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXblRbkMver
"What the hell did you do for him to get pissed off?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCFWbTR9l4
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.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b1bLRviyA
"You have gotta be kidding me!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdZN4IfTFP
"But don't worry! I'm sure if we beat him, he'll come to his senses!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H8ZA6ac4P
Chrono pulls a punch towards them, only to be stopped by Isabelle's thread.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBRrQImmwH
"C-Chrono! You h-have to come t-to your senses!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmQX7xb7MH
"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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fBPmP3UDV
"I-I'm sorry...I can't k-keep him still..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eUs1S5WkM
"It's alright! You've spared me some time!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fKOwhY8rd
"Let me take over!" Piravit immediately pulls Catherine out, becoming the one in control.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjTWkaVIhg
As soon as Chrono began a barrage of punches, Piravit pulls away, but was able to only dodge a few before tanking them.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEkY0rLpKT
"He's way too fast! I can't get a hit on him!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX99Dq3s1LI
As Chrono kept punching her in the chest, Piravit, in Catherine's body, was thinking of ideas, pondering as hard as her breathing.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsuATvTJB2
Piravit begins to punch rapidly in response, until the two stop.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VWSfOXZMj
"I have to say..." Piravit states tauntingly. " You've given me quite the workout since I left my dimension-"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedLCvFpaaG
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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yNPrwWKEn
"So, p-playing dirty are we?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVHN5AhhwS
Chrono responds with an angry, but silent, glare.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqD8IDkrM7
"Great, I like games without rules..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi75tjhYNlw
Piravit phases back into the floor. When they return to the Phasing Dimension, the two separate.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LoOH3Jx2V
"Okay, so new plan..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCylZZmNd7A
Catherine coughs as she feels the after effects of earlier.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2krzjvU2D
"You better think of something and fast..."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu71ozs3yQ
"There's one last thing we can do, but you have to follow a specific set of rules and-"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaYwA3plFc
"Nevermind... I'll figure something out.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcE2e8UyiM
Catherine jumps from the dimension and behind Chrono, where she sneakily kicks him.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMu0jrZ4kz
Piravit follows shortly behind her.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6A6Iuav66
She kneels down towards Chrono.
"Well? Are you having fun yet? Not fun being attacked without noticing, huh?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxhYi1Dk5V
Chrono swipes at Catherine's arm, barely cutting her.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW7FdKhrXp
"...Nah. Didn't think so.." she says, standing up. "Didn't know you'd get this bad.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix633e332Q
She picks him up. "Come on. Let's finish this so you can go back to normal at least. I have things to do.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8TLDD9WOv
Catherine stands in a fighting position.
"I'll only use my power alone."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfx8BgxgrW
"Then allow me to join you." Arsenio says, standing beside her.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhIuKLxaGf
"What are you gonna do, flirt him to death?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ok4wDcK5s
"I actually had something else in mind.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95bc8dmw1a
Arsenio was finally able to conjure a Gift, as an arm cannon faded to fit on top of his hand.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxmajcBP9k
"I wanted to test this thing, you know?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhGNPaVghB
"...Whatever."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMavKoCRG8L
"Come forward..." Chrono says menacingly.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc21UVPRbC1
"Whatever you say, your Majesty."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eZcfPy7BC
As the two-on-one began, more of the participants of the ceremony began to watch from a distance.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fVP7IBwVe
"Seems like we've made quite an audience.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRACl9lTXLP
"Let's make this the best coronation the Time Realm has ever seen.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhunY4eFVdC
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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrlR1Z0BWu
With a sharp yell, time itself began to slow.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mqmUBNyxC
"Damnit! We're stuck until.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgipBNykT8c
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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABDIL11g3Z
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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMfvDIxtil
"...I don't think we're gonna make it if he keeps stopping time like that.." She says, spitting up blood and standing up.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRvKPN5bLb
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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84g6WqnMBv
Catherine jumps up.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKK79WhXsB
"You're welcome!" Arsenio says from afar.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZBUmfrRFJ
"Thanks! Keep looking for openings!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayZegtl441
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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhIqBtKPkg
"A-alright...you've proven your worth.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuUUlgUUeH
"Is this Chrono we're speaking to?" Arsenio asks as his Gift charges up once again and picks Catherine up.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMVWfDAxA5
"I-I'm not sure.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXUawNT5vy
"Make sure you're sure. I'd hate to hit you with this thing for no reason."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKYgmeoMbF
"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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV4RSSmd4y
Chrono shakes his head. "N-nevermind! Let us continue with the celebration, yes?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmZU7qAWhH
"To be honest, I'm worn out..."
Catherine huffed. "You're like...crazy strong."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMFQCEA52w
"I-I'll make it up to you, I swear!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAgjip72sO
Piravit peeks from the floor. "Can I come out now?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3andZ0tbI
"Depends.." Chrono says. "Are you willing to take your side of the deal?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5ppHZiCHZ
"Eep!" Piravit says, coiling itself around Catherine and hiding behind her. "A-Ah! My part of the deal...?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpG40UfRwP
"You shall give me full entry to your dimension. That was your promise to me."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFry2Yb5bC4
"...Fine. But you can't keep using Chrono as a vessel for your battles."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTjyc436NM
Chrono stares for a second, before hitting the ground, parts of his golden shell chipping off.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk4zG0LBr5
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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJM9blHcxo
"He's suppressed his power...I think."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZqK0Sthcg
"Wait, they have a gender?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XnQVcKbxW
"Yeah..." Piravit answered. "It is quite obvious that I'm female. No whiskers, see?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln3HQkwpO6
"I guess.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZEBFPH07s
"Catherine! Arsenio!" Isabelle says, stumbling her own feet. "A-Are you two alright?"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCaYTiHzNL
"I'm good. Not sure about Catherine though."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnNmEpXLnr
"Nah, I'll be alright. I don't think he broke anything."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgeRyfab1A
Nathaniel also approaches them with another tart in hand.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wSxmBg7sb
"Nate! You just had one of those things!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xQrqYUHWy
"I must try every single flavor." He says taking another giant bite.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytMSG0GnCX
"..M-Maybe we should g-go.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48k1iC2Yoj
"Are you sure? We can just...continue the party as normal.."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIvTq0DY5W
Arsenio shrugs. "Seems like a plan to me."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H1EdpSRgU
Slowly, the music begins to play. Partners begin to group together. It was like the party was uninterrupted the entire time.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVfEEFKhHM
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.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr38arxk6s
After the party, the Prodigies carried Chrono back into the House of Father Time.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw9O3zFjIs
"Thank you, you four. Hopefully I can get around with solving some of your Timebreaker problems sometime!"
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs27mc3YgY
"We'd greatly appreciate it. We don't know how strong the next one'll be."
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40wr1IP8eA
Chrono waves them away as they go back to the Sanctuary. Ezra was already asleep when they returned, wrapped up in a blanket.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQhkYotTUX
"Well, we should get some rest too."
Catherine announced.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkqN3aFxGQ
"Way ahead of you." Arsenio says, dropping into the bed.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL2pe8iQiR
Everyone puts themselves to bed for the night, and the Prodigies fall asleep.
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0CjxyHFrW
Silently, in the middle of the night, someone's Tempural Energy swarmed the room...
432Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAM35VairH
