"Rise and shine, Prodigies!" Verna's peppy voice awoken the group. "Let's get ready for the coronation of Father Time today!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiqqHbjHbS
Catherine scratches her neck as she pushes the quilt off. "Coronation?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6IGrHngEx
"Apparently, a new Father Time is to be crowned today." Nathaniel states, stretching.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrmXKjranJ
"Your mission today is to just watch over the new guy before the celebration begins. Pretty easy, right?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYyowwPFiT
"Wait...our job today is to be a goddamn babysitter?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAWxrJeznZ
"If that's how you view it, yes. But as a reward, you get to go to the after-party!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM0RfsZNeI
"That at least solves dinner..." Ezra thinks aloud.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4fcgmLc9k
"Breakfast will be served once you get there, so just put on your clothes and shoes and...look a little presentable.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXLwMLsUGk
"No prob.." Arsenio says. "Let me just get my morning tea before I go.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwWv1nZ87T
"T-Tea?" Isabelle asks while brushing her hair.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG7UO1Ns0o
"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."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaGdidhhup
"...Alright then..." Arsenio says, slowly sitting down and sliding his hands in his coat pockets. "I'll just wait until later then.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3R1yKV8WMu
"Is everyone ready?" Verna asks, peeking into the room as she does so.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡset8whqLCd
"I think so.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWPvcwj1c8
"Good, good!" she fully opens the doors to let the Prodigies out. "Then, let's go, shall we?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0leK6u2KB
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr1WteKzBH
"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."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2oNUMG5Hs
"...Is it because he's blonde?" Catherine remarked.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9buYz8hn8
"... That might have had a influence on the nickname, yes."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFPi7zgBgK
They watched as walked stone faced across to the home of Father Time.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVj9LwJ0kna
"Let's go." Verna says, instructing them to follow Chrono.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YEGvCrexE
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44wCVlXf06
"Hello?" Catherine waited for a response.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBSS8YLsfe
"J-Just a minute!" A voice called out before crashing and falling is heard. Then, from the stairs emerged Chrono.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvgZdJcgdL
"Verna, very nice to see you again. And these four might be?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENNR3UnT0r
"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."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfr5CFxdj6
"I see..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorqqkM2m02
"Thanks again for doing this, guys."
Verna time warps away.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZG4fYzKMW
"...Which one of you is which? I just don't want to be confused.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFbDgFulop
They introduce themselves once again, giving him some clarity.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQnx4aB8m3
"Ah, well it's nice to meet all of you."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElGlqHemSX
"Verna t-told us that w-we would have s-some breakfast.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsH3pO7LGt7
"Of course. You've come here quite early, so I'm sure you four are starving."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4dnryKQ83
"Yeah..." Catherine agreed, lightly holding her stomach.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy8I7x0Pr9
"I thought so. I've prepared something, so don't worry."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeca98IJDu
Chrono brandishes a golden door, which he promptly throws open and reveals some nice breakfast meals, already plated and ready to eat.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmccS8BukBk
"You m-made all of this yourself?!" Catherine exclaimed, impressed.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMCigklDS5
"I was just planning on making food for myself, but I didn't want to be rude.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5Gq5QehgR
"It does look rather...delectable..." Nathaniel says, clearing his throat.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagFwjgq1j3
"Well, shall we eat or watch it get cold?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l18nSzHnP
The four Prodigies and the Son of Time all sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast, basically wolfing down the entire plate before them.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9HVBXtIsS
"Man, that was good..." Arsenio says, stretching in his seat.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdG2zKFig5
"I'm glad you enjoyed. It's very difficult to find people who enjoy similar interests to me."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vL0iq16j2
"Now what? Do you just read books and whatnot?" Catherine asked, taking the last sip of her drink.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFlFE1ycSm
"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.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pWw1tPDxS
"Then why not join us? From what we've experienced, we certainly need the help." Arsenio asks, leaned back in his chair.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5iXQlJ6EE
"I was never suited for things like that, unfortunately..." Chrono sighs. "My Gift is also a little...hard to control."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lXZ18UDCh
"...Can we see it?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2NUfyEHO8
Chrono begins to rub his arms as guilt and embarrassment threw itself on his face.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAiRz5H3HJ
"You can say no, you know..." Catherine speaks. "No one's forcing you."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A261lAwEu
"It's...complicated."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLOOQpmkxH
"That's u-understandable...I have a Gift I can't quite c-control myself..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOYUxggNQk
Dawlly immediately pops itself out of Isabelle's pocket with an annoyed look.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQPXFfum32
"I-It's true..." she looks at Dawlly with the same annoyed look.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK4XWJkYdp
"Interesting.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7cXgDYruB
"Is there anything else you like to do other than read and fantasize?" Catherine asks.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPvOHT7Gcd
"I like to learn more about my Gift."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W12ez2uBl
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ626cYFnMao
"O-oh my.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xAiCqGMpw
"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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eOZ76mi61
"So, what's your Gift? I'm sure you four have gotten one.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkN0rlyfdP
Catherine nudges Nathaniel. "You show yours first. You're the supposed leader."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPpPSyFXIX
"I have never said that I was a leader..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2f960HUZk
"W-Well..." Isabelle added. "You d-do know the most out of all of us..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqSgx2icoG
"...Fine.." Nathaniel reluctantly agrees.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKACjvqBPpI
First, his arm, then up to his shoulder, until his entire body was covered in armor.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyVZ6YjMqm
"You never told me you could do that.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndLaJKFYSG
"I feel as if there is... no need to use the full Gift. It is...uncomfortable.." He speaks from within the suit.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4TrTyw35t
"Well, get the hell out of it then..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULQoKC2wuo
He removes himself from the armor, reverting back to his velvet clothes.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01gGmzQakr
"Well, since thou wants to assume roles, maybe thou would like to go next, co-leader?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBLAghMpQw
"Of course you pin this crap on me.." Catherine growled. "But sure, why not?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEITo7EF6LC
She slips through her chair, and all the way through the floor.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOJ1oKQTeA
It was like she was in her own dimension, her escape from reality. She swam around as she heard the others from above.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWwAQhx1P8
That's when she heard a voice calling her name from the distance.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbamse1dXY
"Hello?" The voice creepily whispered.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGahAmjYFy7
"The hell?" She exclaimed. That freaked her out enough to pull herself out of the Phasing dimension.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXSoeJEMXO
She gasped, as if she was underwater when she crawled out.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5imTpM2NVX
"You alright? You've been in the floor for quite a while..." Arsenio mentioned.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLKFr8zXU5
"...Yeah, something just... freaked me out.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4w8t20LxW
She slides back in her seat...
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQIB8PQKoH
"I-I'll go next..." Isabelle announces. Within seconds, the threads began pulling themselves out of her sleeves.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZEEEYf8Qa
"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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdio5MX97V
"I just had to wake up today! Is it wrong to get some sleep around here?!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J2z2Jgos8
Dawlly smiles innocently as Isabelle continues to roar.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEMJQpN72z
"Don't worry, I've got this.." Arsenio stands up. "Trust me, my charm is irresistible."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz80SbQeHD
He grabs her wrists, looks her deep into her eyes..
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqMTRwWp0K
"Ah, great..." Catherine grumbled, rolling her eyes.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEur8ShwpUB
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that you look adorable when you're angry?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j84Bmq21Q
Isabelle, easily flustered and caught off guard, immediately snaps back to her timid self.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzmWa8FFr2
"See?" He points out. "It's like a secret perk I have." He starts throwing up two pieces of jewelry.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBLA2mwEDq
Isabelle immediately feels her ears.
"M-my earrings!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7AQis7blL
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."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNyq8l5i6y
Isabelle just kept turning red as she puts back on her earrings.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55og4t1fXg
"So, you yourself do not have a Gift just yet, Arsenio?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3Dy7XubwM
"I haven't really felt anything, so no...I think."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJYmF7ZDPC
Outside, bells begin to ring. Chrono looks up at the clock sitting across the room from him on the wall.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlx6FZcsxa
"Ah...only an hour left..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVhb9Iw1aW
"Is there anything else thou wants to say to us before thou becomes Father Time?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcqeb9ms8u
"Use your Gift well, and I hope we get to see each other more in the future."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg5CPf4hPq
Chrono smiles genuinely.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GN3C6PN44
"So, what now?" Arsenio says, picking his teeth.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtemEOlEoHO
"Well, if you four are attending the ceremony, you'll have to be properly dressed."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAC0kbc30L
"Well, Verna could've told us that earlier.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUcdgKRm6W
"Don't worry, we have a public closet full of gowns and suits for you to wear."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bi4yy5CNX
Chrono stands up, leads them upstairs and pulls open a closet door.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuw5XRbRvO
There were attire in every color of the rainbow.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg09ozZ2CM
"Hey, now this is nice!" Catherine says, walking into the spacious closet.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb26U7ffZX
"Don't be afraid to pick whatever you want!" Chrono says, leaving.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY2myKhvAj
Trying to decide what attire to wear, the Prodigies pick the most extravagant and dazzling outfit that fit them the most.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNcF4xFwoi
The four take turns putting on their new clothes, which gleamed and twinkled in the light. Once the four return to the closet.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJdCosD3pL
"Looking nice girls.." Arsenio says.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwTo1BW02t
"These shoes are gonna kill me later, but yeah, thanks.."
Catherine complained.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYIo2c7CT5
"Now that that portion has been completed.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr5JStJAxQ
Nathaniel grabs Arsenio by the shoulder.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa6XCq6TY7
"Arsenio. Thou shall come with me."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq97okFKrXW
He drags him away.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvktyeleRX
"Hey uh, Nathaniel, what are you trying to do?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrzJja2jXW
"We must fix this hair of thine.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lME4U0Jw8
"Wait...Nate no, my hair is fine-"
Nathaniel pulls Arsenio outside.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT0HbYatRJ
"Well, it w-wouldn't be too wrong to d-do the same, would it?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqBeVha3R8
"No, we can take turns doing each other's hair. That seems hella fun!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMd04iRruqO
"O-okay!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm6XwwdBIS
Isabelle finds some combs, brushes, and hair accessories.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aE66vKfSF
"N-now, what kind of hairstyle would you want?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDykZbPqPe
"Something simple, I guess. Not trying to impress anyone.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKs518NbJh
Isabelle gets to unbraiding Catherine's hair, carefully and gracefully taking it apart. In the middle of brushing however, Isabelle stops.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUHRbGsKSJ
"Uhm...Catherine?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39bE6C1yEj
"Yeah?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKENouRsr3
"There's a m-mark or something...on your neck.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA29d4x8Uy
"Huh? What does it look like?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIck6lwYo5
"It l-looks like something scratched you... you didn't g-get attacked b-by anything, did you?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BuccOaT6I
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.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpUxWKw4e4
"D-Do you have any allergies?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg9nbl5iYv
"I'm not supposed to."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUQuHHrUzh
"...Oh my.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5pKBRiefC
"I'm not too worried about it... it'll clear up soon..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgXUW5LJZX
"...If you say so.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04d0Aqax54
Isabelle continues to brush and straighten Catherine's hair. Before she knew it, Isabelle was already putting a flower pin neatly upon her head.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJEYyDuHNr
Isabelle puts a mirror in front of her face. "T-Tada!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM9vaaOxXh
"Oh damn. That's actually really good."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGFyLDPWsA
"T-thank you.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiSS18tcdb
They switch positions, with Catherine sitting behind Isabelle to do her hair.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdOEP2g7zm
"Is there anything specific you want to get?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LIhB6Btls
"U-Uhm.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUfMX0OHjW
"Oh wait, I actually learned how to do this one hairstyle, French roll or something like that?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMqC0BOFew
"Okay, that one t-then.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxV5uvU6NL
"Alright."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMaeYKt0qm
Catherine gathers all of Isabelle's hair, pulling it together, wrapping it around itself, until it looks like the hairstyle.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTBA2CB7nR
"Crap, I don't have any hair pins.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nkNIoh0kJ
"D-don't worry, I have a backup.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz9QmnrHG7
With her Gift, Isabelle sews the updo together until it fits securely, then places her own pin into her head.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0QDgtvLWr
"...That works too.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOydgZqOY9
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3AQCek8pP
"I still don't get why you did this, it was fine as it is.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRpv3Xz4z9
"Trust me, thou would rather look like this."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmcXJ3Z816
"I see the boys didn't have a good time picking out hairstyles." Catherine taunted.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFLmNnil3n
"T-They do seem to be in a debate.." Isabelle added.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubfvZ4QqRf
"It's gonna take forever to put my hair back now.." Arsenio protested.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz9PwhYPrL
"Let's not w-worry about that... we're supposed t-to have fun.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOt37JlPHXx
"Yeah, I guess that's true..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDivmEZlvvJ
There was thirty more minutes left. Still plenty of time to waste. Chrono comes back to check on them.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmprar3vF4r
"Ah, looking exquisite Prodigies!" Chrono praises them. "I'm sure you'll be the best looking ones out there!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTk8lB3xlY
"Eh, I doubt it, but I feel a lot prettier in this poofy thing.." Catherine flutters the ends of her dress.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPifIjuHCt
"Ah, don't be so modest, you look great!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRukCdjE3m
"Well, we still have lots of time. What should we do until then?" Arsenio asks.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm39Qs0ULPx
"Why wait?" Chrono asks. "I can manipulate time at will. I'll just skip time a few minutes.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnQB4updB0
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiIn2upNBG
"...That was...strange."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrTp4K951u
"Let's go. The ceremony's about to start."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYbonPsozw
Catherine pushes Chrono out of the door. "We're right behind you, don't worry."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBruvQm4YG9
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A4DJo2AiP
The crowd begins to applaud as Verna appears behind Chrono. She clears her throat.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcsx1AzuNO
"Welcome everyone, to Chrono's coronation. It's been a while since we've had one of these, huh?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmIKg1PwfH
The crowd erupted into light laughter.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNhY4lbaDy
"Anyways," she continued. "let's get to the best part."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdssYyBFqL
She turns Chrono around, hold his hands gently.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUuRZqSJJQ
"Do you solemnly swear, as long as you live, that you will fairly rule over the Time Realm?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOB7L2IBli
Chrono silently nods.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6SvjJNHlh
Verna releases his hands, opens her own, and in them, appears an extravagant crown which seemed to glow in the light.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJJDHPk2to
"Well then," she places it upon his head. "..you are now Father Time."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3vW2md4UK
Everyone explodes into cheers. The Prodigies couldn't help but clap along.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTNAlSadjV
"Now, let us commence. Grab a partner, for the party is about to begin!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHZnPerN3o
Groups begin to pull apart into parties of two, music begins to fade in.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9k5A20Hkrk
Catherine feels fluttery from the tension.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ziPITNmEI
"...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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDr0eZPaRw
"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."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75czZuBDKA
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNi2OA5uo8
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXEUh4lqW9
"Does thou plan to do this at every party?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWJzcGs9Sw
Catherine finds the source of the tension. She knew Nathaniel was standing behind her the entire time. Without looking back, she responds.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIs2XZPWrB
"I don't have anything else to do. Why'd you follow me anyway?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBML14Vqui
"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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk0HvNQkAB
"Nate, you dumbass..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡendsXJOnEC
"Hm?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtY5JnMJu5
"You have jam and crap all over your face.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmfvxQCAMM
She pulls a napkin, and is just about to hand it to him, when a voice yells in pain, quieting the party to silence.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjd0Gs6oXH
"...What's going on?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6ArA4KsQV
"I am not sure."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2TsFCjzt4
"...Boost me."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLGERvyg2Z
"What?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8VQ9QYQu7
Catherine struggles to climb up Nathaniel. Once she reaches his shoulders, her eyes catch something unexpected.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpnLVxRopw
"It's...Chrono.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfIqcfxU3f
The two push participants out of the way.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yCjsWRlYB
"I was worried about his hands and..." a girl whispered towards them.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3VNdZcHl4
"Don't worry, we've got this."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqBCuzq9Yl
It seems like his Gift was finally coming into play.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesNIJU2d4l
"Chrono...are you alright?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlX3J0BvOF
Chrono grabs the edge of Catherine's dress to pull himself up.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcHdZlisnF
"I'm fine, really! My Gift just... activated all on it's own.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4w1bqOWU6
As he stands up, everyone could see his Gift's true form. His face was plated halfway with gold, just as his arms were.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6Migykeby
"But seriously, I'm fine!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJNODEdPnW
More of his face became jagged.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2XhBoSG5J
"... Let's go. Nate, you get Arsenio and Isabelle."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE834AbyI0x
Catherine pulled Chrono away from the party, taking him back the House of Father Time.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulmpU86WHz
"Okay, Chrono...what happened?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQxadbB5bu
"I-I think the stress...plus the demonstration from this morning..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33ZgNgmng4
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9mgyQFfH2
"C-Chrono? Are you okay?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36wanGzv30
"I-I am f-fine, Prodigies...this is just what happens...It's a little painful, though..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqTCNhmOlS
More barbs rip around his body, horns even start to curve from his head.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZzKsTYc2r
"O-Oh goodness.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02Fwvgh6vj
"I just have to...fight it. I can't hurt anyone if..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4v3J7pp7m
His breathing gets heavier than stones.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmVij8X2KQ
"Is there anyone we can get for help?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBCRrlbXvg
"You don't need to bring anyone. Just...leave before it.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRML1Jpil9
Without thinking, Chrono threw a glass from a table right beside him.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjBHNxK5kN
"Okay okay! Let's calm down.." Arsenio says, recovering from dodging.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCzMr5MSDv
"I-I can't! It's going to..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gG7Ps6PVJ
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eJSZWafYO
Catherine simply used Phasing to break her fall, diving into the floor.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQSBJteOa4
The voice from before called again. "There she is again!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXeL1iAQy7
"...Who the hell are you? What do you want?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIChCjJQkr
She saw a stripe of bright cyan wave past her. Catherine tried desperately to find where the line went.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoxfuANrIf
"...Behind you.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmijcC3RTPl
Catherine turned around to see the menacing face of a dragon staring back at her. She was about to take a breath to scream.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hKMeVuSuk
"Hey, don't scream. I just want to know how you got here."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqlk8VbM1Y
Catherine confusingly looks.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm2rv0jeU3
"This is my Gift...I can phase through crap like it's water. I broke my fall from a building.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkg3HRyUT8l
"Oh, you must be the person I marked yesterday. Makes sense, I guess.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsEhLTf2KN
"M-Marked?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbortgXvCpa
"That itch you could never satisfy." It points towards Catherine's neck.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApoQUv7KJc
"...Wait, that was you?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ694elrGHaG
The serpent playfully clears it's throat before bellowing menacingly.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomftrLcQOa
"Allow me to become you, and I shall spare your life!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRTKHTJUI6
"...Do I get other abilities other than falling through stuff?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PqQoUgtHf
The dragon shrugs. "I think so?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajpVQ174Bz
"Great. Come on then."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy6aABZjHs
It phases through Catherine, unlocking a surge of energy and power within her.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmDDYCxBVo
Catherine climbs out of the dimension as the others were looking for her.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaedFrcnia
"Sorry if I scared you guys.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTVgcU8LKf
"Catherine! Y-you're okay!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVmnHBxcjk
"Yeah, I just got a new friend."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo8vM3MbMR
The dragon only appeared as a ghost coiled around her body.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHuKhqx6nb
"And her name is?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM303JknRrl
"Not sure.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhi1GORY3F
Like a ghost, the dragon swapped her soul with Catherine's.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLXk3y7F89
"Piravit. My name is Piravit, the Spiritual Dragon of Phasing. I have chosen Catherine here as my host..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstEEea7J79
"Thou is...possessing her.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSvwZ4IyiX
"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."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWtTBHCTe2
"Cool. Now...about him.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOvLMloNRI
Arsenio points at the shattered window that Catherine fell out of.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RrO45e2FB
Chrono's roar echoed throughout the realm as he perched on the window.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd94ke4xTr8
"Oi! You have some explaining to do!"
Catherine says as she takes back control of her body.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4lPByM0qk
"...Catherine, that's the Time Beast!"
Piravit says as a echoing voice inside her head.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswbFHwKKhj
"Eh? That's Chrono, that's just his Gift."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc10HR7KCg
"Like you, he's been marked. If he sees me with you, he'll kill us both!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qv0wfEfxP
As on cue, Chrono jumps down right in front of Catherine, as if analyzing her. Then with angry aura, throws her again.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvpLxXH7I6
Catherine hits the ground, tumbling.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7svaSocFES
She struggles to pick herself up, as Chrono runs towards her.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yL5sMwfqV
"What the hell did you do for him to get pissed off?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFGpp3MKx0
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.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOyZDmX7zw
"You have gotta be kidding me!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OKx4gt6yQ
"But don't worry! I'm sure if we beat him, he'll come to his senses!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIGBrLhsYx
Chrono pulls a punch towards them, only to be stopped by Isabelle's thread.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdWkjkKsPW
"C-Chrono! You h-have to come t-to your senses!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hOXXyobxY
"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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBni2JOZvk
"I-I'm sorry...I can't k-keep him still..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJZ4ThOqFb
"It's alright! You've spared me some time!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pTfS8WTut
"Let me take over!" Piravit immediately pulls Catherine out, becoming the one in control.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUdGfTQdrK
As soon as Chrono began a barrage of punches, Piravit pulls away, but was able to only dodge a few before tanking them.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqjKORJcI1
"He's way too fast! I can't get a hit on him!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JxM23NHdO
As Chrono kept punching her in the chest, Piravit, in Catherine's body, was thinking of ideas, pondering as hard as her breathing.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BpF3achZX
Piravit begins to punch rapidly in response, until the two stop.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlJxjQsZTZ
"I have to say..." Piravit states tauntingly. " You've given me quite the workout since I left my dimension-"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHV464o1y1
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jl5WD6eqW
"So, p-playing dirty are we?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76DEyqtjHG
Chrono responds with an angry, but silent, glare.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPJ8jEYHLc
"Great, I like games without rules..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXJtN6otzY
Piravit phases back into the floor. When they return to the Phasing Dimension, the two separate.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHlt79mkgl
"Okay, so new plan..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz9pavg5C9
Catherine coughs as she feels the after effects of earlier.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQn0Zhy0ZJ
"You better think of something and fast..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBl7skZwItQ
"There's one last thing we can do, but you have to follow a specific set of rules and-"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YLKkLCkz5
"Nevermind... I'll figure something out.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFUpClODMZ
Catherine jumps from the dimension and behind Chrono, where she sneakily kicks him.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRPHh0ltw2
Piravit follows shortly behind her.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUJBpcYAL6
She kneels down towards Chrono.
"Well? Are you having fun yet? Not fun being attacked without noticing, huh?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJ24DQrRjy
Chrono swipes at Catherine's arm, barely cutting her.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgHmOmUZl1
"...Nah. Didn't think so.." she says, standing up. "Didn't know you'd get this bad.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrhRondgtz
She picks him up. "Come on. Let's finish this so you can go back to normal at least. I have things to do.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED5aMUumtI
Catherine stands in a fighting position.
"I'll only use my power alone."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxJk5YoslZ
"Then allow me to join you." Arsenio says, standing beside her.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FmD4YCnUC
"What are you gonna do, flirt him to death?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfZC2iNrCn
"I actually had something else in mind.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvM8WH2f9z
Arsenio was finally able to conjure a Gift, as an arm cannon faded to fit on top of his hand.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbHuNyyzFS
"I wanted to test this thing, you know?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20r206XLce
"...Whatever."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0r5OM36FF
"Come forward..." Chrono says menacingly.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGXpwuog3Q
"Whatever you say, your Majesty."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgZaXgmvdE
As the two-on-one began, more of the participants of the ceremony began to watch from a distance.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiKXqQ7ZdW
"Seems like we've made quite an audience.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZANECBKhR
"Let's make this the best coronation the Time Realm has ever seen.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpHRJmgYu6
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRqreb1Rs9
With a sharp yell, time itself began to slow.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8rCPy0c1L
"Damnit! We're stuck until.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkCmfrtXyZ
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjttMmrwlFu
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbixpu6vNx9
"...I don't think we're gonna make it if he keeps stopping time like that.." She says, spitting up blood and standing up.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rlsM4BigA
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4loxpQq3rc
Catherine jumps up.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6pNlA0pv6
"You're welcome!" Arsenio says from afar.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgacjrePxI
"Thanks! Keep looking for openings!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHoOlfKdB6
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTzrj4m4h8
"A-alright...you've proven your worth.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gNZfDt7RF
"Is this Chrono we're speaking to?" Arsenio asks as his Gift charges up once again and picks Catherine up.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgXQEXJvGF
"I-I'm not sure.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtN1nNTsnI
"Make sure you're sure. I'd hate to hit you with this thing for no reason."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqfUf57rwI
"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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDjUBOiKML
Chrono shakes his head. "N-nevermind! Let us continue with the celebration, yes?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0mLc27uPR
"To be honest, I'm worn out..."
Catherine huffed. "You're like...crazy strong."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHKMvrZUYT
"I-I'll make it up to you, I swear!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9yOgVRWNR
Piravit peeks from the floor. "Can I come out now?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNBjAD0Y0u
"Depends.." Chrono says. "Are you willing to take your side of the deal?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6gJJu9nl9
"Eep!" Piravit says, coiling itself around Catherine and hiding behind her. "A-Ah! My part of the deal...?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKIRmzQylC
"You shall give me full entry to your dimension. That was your promise to me."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS4iOZog8b
"...Fine. But you can't keep using Chrono as a vessel for your battles."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfSYL0sKwi
Chrono stares for a second, before hitting the ground, parts of his golden shell chipping off.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJSMWxZB18
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI8xh73IQd
"He's suppressed his power...I think."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qlqP87mlh
"Wait, they have a gender?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLVq96IY9C
"Yeah..." Piravit answered. "It is quite obvious that I'm female. No whiskers, see?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z8ESj4Qeo
"I guess.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTA2bFBmIQ
"Catherine! Arsenio!" Isabelle says, stumbling her own feet. "A-Are you two alright?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG0EWLE2VY
"I'm good. Not sure about Catherine though."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStfIuzb8qz
"Nah, I'll be alright. I don't think he broke anything."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9UZBFZIiM
Nathaniel also approaches them with another tart in hand.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrcl6AkhOu
"Nate! You just had one of those things!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQWECYoWY7
"I must try every single flavor." He says taking another giant bite.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNAN3ijL5I
"..M-Maybe we should g-go.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa4BSwoaWo
"Are you sure? We can just...continue the party as normal.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoLAWelJlP
Arsenio shrugs. "Seems like a plan to me."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuWMSDhU2R
Slowly, the music begins to play. Partners begin to group together. It was like the party was uninterrupted the entire time.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM8wAbgq7C
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDy3nlfG6W
After the party, the Prodigies carried Chrono back into the House of Father Time.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPzcpUgG8b
"Thank you, you four. Hopefully I can get around with solving some of your Timebreaker problems sometime!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAICzLrV3t
"We'd greatly appreciate it. We don't know how strong the next one'll be."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa92R62V9z0
Chrono waves them away as they go back to the Sanctuary. Ezra was already asleep when they returned, wrapped up in a blanket.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ydx0zi9fa
"Well, we should get some rest too."
Catherine announced.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qnVtab1RF
"Way ahead of you." Arsenio says, dropping into the bed.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzX0joraL2
Everyone puts themselves to bed for the night, and the Prodigies fall asleep.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuTodNLixE
Silently, in the middle of the night, someone's Tempural Energy swarmed the room...
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgJR3wuajK
