"Chrono, how far away are we from the fish lady?" Catherine asks, struggling to keep her head above water.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklFBjqWvoo
"I'm not quite sure. We'll need a better strategy in order to get there faster and spare the people some casualties.." Chrono replies.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf807mB3g8
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR0f94GKsC
The rain poured down even more with every shriek Noelani made.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGRq0kkfu8
At that moment, the both of them knew what they needed to do. They swapped their souls with their respective deities, and their almost invincible bodies made it possible for them to swim underwater without issues.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyev9ttXwGH
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6Xwil8yJN
Approaching the siren, Piravit tries her best to cover the Time Beast while he prepares his attack.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55nmx95ErJ
With a hearty roar from Piravit, the waves of water split away from the two, as a rift to the Phasing Dimension creates a crater of protection around the entire city.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D7kWJ884k
Time Beast had began his attack, starting with the Roar of Time, which stopped everything.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4BlHQg0pn
For the first time, Piravit and Chrono worked together to fight the Timebreaker Noelani.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh66qCjtt7
They landed hit after hit to damage the Timebreaker, and when the time returned, Noelani, in pain, screeched another horrid song.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA32wu5IyU
More rain rushes to the ground. Chrono had to stop time once again to relieve the pressure of the rain.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgTZL7MROb
"This will not end well. We have to go back in time and try again...but..."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT8Zw8bzqq
"What?"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5YFHPWVRc
"We'll have to move even quicker to avoid repeating this."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lD3Mz8kOl
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5vRpap8PC
"...I can do that."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4BRFJzMUU
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpY8WKVA04Y
"Good."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHFsc6cqD3
With a similar roar, time itself began to slow, then repeat itself in reverse. Catherine had barely any time to blink before they were back at her dorm, but this time, she had no time to stall.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEE04ZPgQY
She threw open the door, where Chrono appeared by her side. Catherine and Chrono sprinted towards the opening rift of time. Rain began to pour again.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK7xTMP0Y9
"At least it's not as bad as was before.."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g1YzKMWKg
"We just have to stop Noelani before she manages to fully insert herself into the Human Realm.."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbhjm6bFsJ
Chrono, in his normal form, stops time once again.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzSJZzmbVr
"Hurry Catherine! Run as quickly as possible! Get as close as you can!"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmoUjNvFRL
"What the hell? Why aren't you coming with me?!"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqCNgM9oS7
"I'll tell you later! Just please, go!"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oUw2SmiEK
Catherine, concerned and a bit afraid, pulled herself together and calls on the powers of the Phasing Dragon, letting the cyan flames envelope her hands.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMH1RAfuh1
Within seconds, Catherine pulls punch after punch, kick after kick, getting in as much damage as possible.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGPAetYMlZ
Chrono's time stop began to fade away, as the strain was beginning to be too much. Chrono's next move was to run as fast as he can to Catherine to aid her.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVunLpI0KbI
Catherine had just been blown away with the small gust that the hurricane had brought.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBvn71uuF8
Catherine's face, arms and legs were covered in dirt and scrapes.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNJKXiUCRo
"Ow..." she stands up and turns to Chrono as a slight annoyed look flew across her face. "What the hell are you standing there for!?"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyr6lIOFzu
Chrono fumbles with a secret satchel that he had stored for events like this. He then pulls out a dagger, the blade's shape zigzagged like the thunderbolts flickering among the sky.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnXnZJAxPn
"Quick! Catch!" Chrono then slides the blade closer to her. "Infuse your energy into that blade! It's the only thing I have that could possibly stop her!"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA23ulhU57Y
Catherine swipes it from the moist ground, as cyan energy began forming a longer blade around the original one.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4bDowFDkn
Catherine's face became stern with determination.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yLF8hHZ7s
"Now Noelani...get the hell out of here!"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPgt6a4hlY
She runs as fast as she can with hilt in hand and begins to throw the sword, but as soon as she let it go.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87ULsRUhrs
It pierced flesh, but not from who she was hitting.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUEZwYIRyz
Nathaniel immediately staggers while the others began to roll up to his side.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VJ8IiJfCZ
"Nathaniel! A-Are you okay?" Isabelle cries.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3MlbcUqLr
"I am fine, Isabelle." Nathaniel slowly begins to pull the blade from his shoulder.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLvsT8mMlM
"Nate, don't! You'll bleed out!"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpnUO2F5Og
"I will survive until that happens..."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0E7d8hldy
The dagger was torn out as Nathaniel drops to his knees. When the other Prodigies tried to get him back to his feet, he refused their attempt to help.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6QFoaTOK8
"Sorry for being late. We didn't realize something was wrong until just now..."
Kenzo said, using his chains to protect himself from the rain.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliE7QZPKZd
Catherine takes the now bloodied blade from the ground in front of Nathaniel, reactivating the cyan blade.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahqWmYbFBu
The Prodigies, now reunited, take a fighting stance.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMZcCTySsm
Noelani cocks her head in curiosity, then with a song, the pouring rain became a light drizzle.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtji0KkXFiG
"...She's giving us a fair fight." Arsenio says, pushing his hands into his pocket.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMk8x8xWg7
"Like she had a chance. She's still outnumbered, one to five!" Kenzo states, pulling out his chained scythes.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLirzc0IDB3
That's when Verna's voice yelled from behind.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbRFIeWJHT
"Don't lower your guard!"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3aqomSD1G
"V-Verna?"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0qJRP5LHh
"T-Tempus: Cessatio!"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1RI5OL4V9
That's when time stops, including the Prodigies.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYxmd4sKmW
The Timekeeper floats closer to the group, pushing them aside, but too focused on her students to notice, she accidentally returns time to normal..
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAPM1mtGHT
Suddenly, a strong barrage of thunderbolts began stomping down towards Verna, each bolt becoming even more stronger and painful than the last.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad1iE99q9Y
With each strike, Verna gets more hurt until her golden white hair is completely disheveled.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9fFg8COJ7
Verna ends up on her knees, staring into space.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgasjNuLIS
"No...no...you can't...be serious..." Catherine whispered in disbelief.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ouavhDSIq
The rain had completely stopped. As her body struggled to breathe, Verna looked to the sky with tears welling in her eyes.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByOMToG96L
"Prodigies..thank you..."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVkXgtiEwm
Verna gave them a small smile, knowing that her life wouldn't be the same.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2JlvydICE
"I've done the last thing I wanted to do for myself...dying protecting the Prodigies I tried tirelessly to train and grow fond of."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjISWuQaEc
Verna's face turns to sadness as she begins to look at the darkness in front of her.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TgHmM7tCq
"...I wish we could've stayed together a little longer...I never really got to know you five...personally.."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFh72m1qR6z
She blinks her tears away.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrPlTkQNcC
Noticing the golden white cracks in her skin, Verna calls out a name to atmosphere above.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q8QiDYTmh
"...Eran..."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XKqQthkiJ
The Prodigies were extremely confused, but stood frozen in place.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIb28IJhdFZ
"... I'm coming back...don't worry...I'll be there, I promise..."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWiev3u1gp
Catherine couldn't stay quiet any longer.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOBk6OfJCp
"Who the hell is-"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c9Ybns5E1
Nathaniel holds her back.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CoVHH7fYh
"...Now is not the time for your remarks, Catherine..."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fdk10XpU2
"You know what, I'm sick and damn tired of you, Nathaniel!"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsNs8BQh2f
"Me?"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAO8SS1FlLz
"Ever since we've met, you've been the sharpest thorn in my side!"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYYb7U4nZt
"P-P-Prodigies..." Verna interrupted her rant. "There's n-no need to fight...I know you're confused and scared, but don't put that on your peers..."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnqrIYQg4L
Her face continues to shatter like glass.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmqSI0b4vQ
"I know someone who can help... you'll have to trek a dangerous path, but I know you five together will make it to him..."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgE18SRRtvV
She pulls the watch shakily, pulling out a folded sheet of paper, handing it to Catherine. Shattered pieces clattered to the ground as she knelt down even more.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoMjccgIG8
"A-And Prodigies...one more thing..."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5odNoxewg
A dazzling light began to envelope Verna as the Prodigies reach out to her. The last of her tears trickle down her cheeks as she muttered out her last words.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSBWx2OsfN
"...Don't give up. Fix the Fabric of Time, even if it takes a lifetime.."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dUc0HW7mx
She takes the watch from her neck and hands it to Nathaniel, who took it with hesitation.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgp36SuFaB
"I'm leaving the power of stopping time to you Nathaniel..."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeteqGgfaS
Catherine and the others stood back as fear and solemn struck their hearts.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZJdI0WpHM
Her skin...became that of porcelain, the final word she spoke forever plastered into a cold statue of death.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMaTUSV9Qn
A warm light floated above it, but as soon as hope seemed to fill the Prodigies, Noelani swiped it from the air, before looking at the five with a stern look.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhklbWer51f
"N-No! Wait!" Catherine attempted to stop her.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcx4lYynz0B
The siren ignored her attempt though, and returned to the warp she came from, leaving the street a flooded mess, and the Prodigies with Verna's soulless statue.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wGaukXiRb
Catherine could see Nathaniel grip the watch that Verna had gifted him. It's rims reflected the now shining sun's light, but no matter how bright the sun was, it wouldn't stop the somber shadow that cast upon the spirits of the Prodigies.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mlbyVaZFT
***
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqySatQtbd
It was days after, and the Prodigies, still stricken with grief, split up to their own Time Periods.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJX0NreianL
Catherine was back at home, helping Talia with her studies and hanging out with her.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAxe3SCc8p
That's when a time warp opens with the other four Prodigies returning to her side.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYod4wARlxp
Nathaniel wore the Timekeeper watch around his neck, holding his original watch in his hand.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax1jEvWTYB
Arsenio was carrying Isabelle as she slept, with Ezra watching him like a hawk.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8raO6Ykq0f
"Hey guys..." Catherine says, slumping back in the cushion of her couch.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OXdqCJluA
"...It is time to leave."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtam7KP6CF3
Nathaniel says this while placing his watch on the table, motioning her to return to the Sanctuary with them.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8WVVlxcO5
"Talia, if you ever want to join us, just put on the watch, alright?" Kenzo states with a small smile.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8o7oNc1EO
Talia glances at the watch, then the group.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VGuJbZxJN
"I'll think about it.."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dWCG98Sml
Catherine stands up from her seat, placing a hand on Talia's shoulder.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqWKXkduDn
"Think about it before you decide on this. Don't come along just because. Things are bound to happen where we're going."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudASem8Bm3
"Things like?"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rHczTAD0l
"I don't even know if we'll all survive. Verna said it's a dangerous place.."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29ugeKGHAM
Talia nods. "Alright..."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd3zqKpSPu
Catherine looks behind her as the other Prodigies slowly push their way back to the Time Realm, then follows behind. The warp closes behind her.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdo5BNhPhum
Back at the Sanctuary, the stuffy air of tension kept them from speaking to one another, so when Kenzo stood up, looking quite annoyed, it startled the rest.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVfzPpeHxb
"We shouldn't stay quiet like this! We need to prepare for our journey!"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv9grGdv89
"W-what?" Isabelle said, more tired than ever.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjXI6I69gd
"If we just sit here without doing anything to avenge Verna or fixing the Fabric of Time, what are we Prodigies for?"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVkMT99zhD
"I don't think you've noticed, but-" Arsenio began to say.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsFKGxJWof
"I know what I've noticed, Arsenio. We need to get up. Right now."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwihtDdZ6MF
Slowly but surely, every Prodigy stood up.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbocvtbTkoy
"Nathaniel, you're the leader. You tell us what we need to do next."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bsvTueURs
Nathaniel calmly dusts himself off and clears his throat, before directing the other Prodigies.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKxVK0njZb
"We leave at dawn." He says with his back turned, before perching on the ceiling beam to read a book. The other Prodigies left to their own hobbies, Isabelle, Arsenio, and Ezra all taking a time warp to another place, and Kenzo silently leaving the Sanctuary.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxFJ8FEfb2
Catherine decided this was the perfect time to mess with Nathaniel. She tries to jump up as similarly to him as possible, only to slip when she stepped higher.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33UN8vcCad
Nathaniel was just about to flip to the next page when he noticed Catherine's struggle. He rolls his eyes and pulls her up, before leading her to the other nook which was similar to his.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzTDOLjC3q
Before she climbed to the other end, she snatched the book from his hands and began flipping through the pages.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRROFwd1vSe
"Whatcha reading Nathaniel?"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeFYJoLmee
"Return that book to me, Catherine."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xPHsEIABI
She mischievously giggled and continued to suspend herself by her legs while she continues to scan the book.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs2Mj513Hu
"Catherine.."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpcwnjvQJM
"It doesn't seem that interesting."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcrYtShsGn
"Everyone has their tastes..."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtptzIX3gMb
"Well, I can't understand it. I think it's in French."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a5F1FmMZb
"It is. That is my first language."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuohQduDyN6
She hands him back the book. "That's cool, I guess.."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBwyQNsXqD
She climbs to the other ceiling beam, uncomfortably sitting in it's corner.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xMRcWTsqa
"How the hell do you sit like this? This is super uncomfortable..."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLjiQjc5n8
"Thou does not have to keep thine feet on the perch as well. If thou happens to fall-"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCBr7oLBAI
"I've got it. While we're here, let's teach you some modern English so you can stop speaking in Shakespeare."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7Q5T5I9JM
Her change of subject changed so quickly, Nathaniel couldn't keep track of what she was saying.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFvyrQLzg1
"Pardon?"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlHBtycEI2
She sits horizontally to the perch, facing towards Nathaniel.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITGD4IykVY
"It's really easy, we just have to change a couple words. Instead of thou, you'd say you, and thine would be yours."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqqvB5Zqoh
"...Why change my dialect if you-"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiFzTJx26W
Nathaniel stops. He realized Catherine had already brainwashed him into speaking modern English.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5lQj2x1Pw
"See? You'll be speaking like us in no time!"
Catherine laughed.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9m7HCkgOX
Nathaniel scowled at her half- jokingly. "You witch... you have tricked me."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUXAPY7ogb
He noticed how easily the words easily slipped from his tongue. Nathaniel tries to keep himself from speaking any further.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkzAf2yibk
"I knew you could do it. Good job Nate."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8UZrHI72H
Nathaniel couldn't choose if he wanted to be angry with Catherine, frustrated with himself, or astonished at how easily he learned.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VjDv6FAxM
He succumbed to the dilemma, silently sticking his nose back into his book. Catherine jumps from the height of the near ceiling, bouncing onto her bed.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukjI5lxH0H
"Time well spent, eh Nathaniel?"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkUFFZc0Vb
He stays silent.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysd7K0K5k1
She lays back, taking a deep sigh of relief.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV25PzxfAN
"Y'know, you're not too bad after all. To think you were some pompous prick.."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMJLkkeIRL
"I am glad you think that way.." He says, flipping again to another page.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPORdsr66D
The tension started to pile again.
"... About the thing I said...that day..."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHhLcGo3bG
"What about it?"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsrykj66PE
"I don't feel like I really meant that. When I'm angry, I lash out at other people...it helps me calm down, I guess?"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis1Nec8ADu
She leans up to look Nathaniel in the face.
"I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm sorry..."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zXbXVhybw
Nathaniel darts his eyes towards her.
"It is...fine. It was a stressful situation, after all."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JF6j0sga1
That's when a time warp appeared. Arsenio, Isabelle, and Ezra all walked through it, all holding a drink in hand.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeninM1ptv
"You two are still here?" Ezra asks, head turned to one side in confusion. "I thought you and Kenzo would be out there together..."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTkag82WNE
"A-Are you two alright?"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1KIBAekoo
"Uhh...yeah. We're just having small talk, I guess.." Catherine looks at the bubble tea the three had in their grip.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPQG8J7NbQ
"Whatcha got there?"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Qnzx9gFtW
Arsenio takes a drink before answering.
"Just bubble tea. They said they wanted one of their own, so I went to buy them one.."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjTAINYuDI
Isabelle nods, proving what Arsenio said was fact.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOIEywlkZJ
"I-It's very delicious..."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXxHxmvdA2
Arsenio drinks again from his own beverage.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbMopX6XEU
"Where's Kenzo?"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGhRmNMSGp
"I dunno, he left at the same time as you three."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfItqME8NJ
"He'll be b-back, I'm sure of it.."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6fxC4C56P
"Yeah, that goofball always comes back somehow.."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNMJhycvSK
As if on cue, Kenzo slowly opens the door to the Sanctuary.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yqOwELJJe
"Are we ready to leave?" Kenzo asks. "Why are you guys standing?"
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04KlbZw5pQ
"No, neither mentally nor physically. We were just talking." Nathaniel states.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hKxR7n7KD
"Oh..."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNLh1rRghn
"But we should sleep either way. If we want to be well rested, that is." Ezra says.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndiKxm3cUz
"Then it's settled." Kenzo states. "Let's head to bed."
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0ebDA8by9
All five Prodigies prepare for bed. Only the day had things to bring to them.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dbavOCB7q
Sleep consumed the Prodigies almost as much as their fear and nervousness. Were they all going to survive by the time they get to the top? Who was this friend of Verna and how will they help them bring back her soul?
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPONYCzkKO
These were questions scrambling around in the Prodigies head as they held their eyes shut.
325Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4tcbkfgQj
