"Rise and shine, Prodigies!" Verna's peppy voice awoken the group. "Let's get ready for the coronation of Father Time today!"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrldzkNrfR
Catherine scratches her neck as she pushes the quilt off. "Coronation?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewFxuGgYy9
"Apparently, a new Father Time is to be crowned today." Nathaniel states, stretching.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv40aVQnbgx
"Your mission today is to just watch over the new guy before the celebration begins. Pretty easy, right?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7mewlTqli
"Wait...our job today is to be a goddamn babysitter?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfNYMr3mmO
"If that's how you view it, yes. But as a reward, you get to go to the after-party!"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nFlGVMGCu
"That at least solves dinner..." Ezra thinks aloud.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasmgHHy1Y3
"Breakfast will be served once you get there, so just put on your clothes and shoes and...look a little presentable.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvhN7hGnJH
"No prob.." Arsenio says. "Let me just get my morning tea before I go.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinrXcDujCU
"T-Tea?" Isabelle asks while brushing her hair.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV1y1MF0n4
"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."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGSkeowcRd
"...Alright then..." Arsenio says, slowly sitting down and sliding his hands in his coat pockets. "I'll just wait until later then.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFspuk0WrDT
"Is everyone ready?" Verna asks, peeking into the room as she does so.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqJFY2rLpd
"I think so.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt47GtozK5E
"Good, good!" she fully opens the doors to let the Prodigies out. "Then, let's go, shall we?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcIClsKlAA
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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSbAQKEVjY
"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."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh52gTNWpne
"...Is it because he's blonde?" Catherine remarked.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRohLbAcek
"... That might have had a influence on the nickname, yes."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOt69pMlHn
They watched as walked stone faced across to the home of Father Time.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKLmmtmxGs
"Let's go." Verna says, instructing them to follow Chrono.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38xkB5SQkr
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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaytJxoRzuQ
"Hello?" Catherine waited for a response.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzZGwgZf9P
"J-Just a minute!" A voice called out before crashing and falling is heard. Then, from the stairs emerged Chrono.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf94NlBHeej
"Verna, very nice to see you again. And these four might be?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfzlWKghs0
"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."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJnezcNeN6
"I see..."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHjwSY5RBF
"Thanks again for doing this, guys."
Verna time warps away.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJoewHMcgh
"...Which one of you is which? I just don't want to be confused.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbAx2Vc1qc
They introduce themselves once again, giving him some clarity.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBRyX8wMUN
"Ah, well it's nice to meet all of you."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeI27GHYr5
"Verna t-told us that w-we would have s-some breakfast.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8bn7XIjM8
"Of course. You've come here quite early, so I'm sure you four are starving."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLuM3wYzd4
"Yeah..." Catherine agreed, lightly holding her stomach.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiOhlxHkSO
"I thought so. I've prepared something, so don't worry."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsHf2HW6oE
Chrono brandishes a golden door, which he promptly throws open and reveals some nice breakfast meals, already plated and ready to eat.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1deF0GFxK
"You m-made all of this yourself?!" Catherine exclaimed, impressed.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdIV8jUPdx
"I was just planning on making food for myself, but I didn't want to be rude.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBsDgyh3nj
"It does look rather...delectable..." Nathaniel says, clearing his throat.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cJbhlqj2b
"Well, shall we eat or watch it get cold?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEaMnMCMak
The four Prodigies and the Son of Time all sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast, basically wolfing down the entire plate before them.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31UEdE3Yx7
"Man, that was good..." Arsenio says, stretching in his seat.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltd4gKu2CU
"I'm glad you enjoyed. It's very difficult to find people who enjoy similar interests to me."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7W9kajqJ4
"Now what? Do you just read books and whatnot?" Catherine asked, taking the last sip of her drink.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl7iy8w27G
"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.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoFeBOKpmU
"Then why not join us? From what we've experienced, we certainly need the help." Arsenio asks, leaned back in his chair.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3F99KbCM5
"I was never suited for things like that, unfortunately..." Chrono sighs. "My Gift is also a little...hard to control."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTCVYGHhFZ
"...Can we see it?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapwbMPmkED
Chrono begins to rub his arms as guilt and embarrassment threw itself on his face.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5ZBGgtkeW
"You can say no, you know..." Catherine speaks. "No one's forcing you."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KsFJTmMoo
"It's...complicated."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OXBi6hHXg
"That's u-understandable...I have a Gift I can't quite c-control myself..."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg712Vcp20I
Dawlly immediately pops itself out of Isabelle's pocket with an annoyed look.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBB6oiQyPm
"I-It's true..." she looks at Dawlly with the same annoyed look.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR3pwkeflj
"Interesting.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QMYht67N7
"Is there anything else you like to do other than read and fantasize?" Catherine asks.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTXxaZPZYy
"I like to learn more about my Gift."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9DRjyhNen
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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXR4RrwzFv
"O-oh my.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDkhVasgfF
"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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FbcwwN6aH
"So, what's your Gift? I'm sure you four have gotten one.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kPlmdaF4X
Catherine nudges Nathaniel. "You show yours first. You're the supposed leader."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeWwc4TEoD
"I have never said that I was a leader..."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkPiFto8gE
"W-Well..." Isabelle added. "You d-do know the most out of all of us..."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNZPY2iIak
"...Fine.." Nathaniel reluctantly agrees.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC39iFLbof
First, his arm, then up to his shoulder, until his entire body was covered in armor.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqe0vD4zA0z
"You never told me you could do that.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFyNarc1BB
"I feel as if there is... no need to use the full Gift. It is...uncomfortable.." He speaks from within the suit.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVdsPRc3yZ
"Well, get the hell out of it then..."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2kTIAovaF
He removes himself from the armor, reverting back to his velvet clothes.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfjaUXJhZp
"Well, since thou wants to assume roles, maybe thou would like to go next, co-leader?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47Loeqpr7Z
"Of course you pin this crap on me.." Catherine growled. "But sure, why not?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHhPhAHegK
She slips through her chair, and all the way through the floor.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjfz0POEIv
It was like she was in her own dimension, her escape from reality. She swam around as she heard the others from above.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlzpJIAOWY
That's when she heard a voice calling her name from the distance.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YmesAviuJ
"Hello?" The voice creepily whispered.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4I33YF2Yq
"The hell?" She exclaimed. That freaked her out enough to pull herself out of the Phasing dimension.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMP0Qpj5GN9
She gasped, as if she was underwater when she crawled out.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw9SZMw1z7
"You alright? You've been in the floor for quite a while..." Arsenio mentioned.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1InAqbZWwM
"...Yeah, something just... freaked me out.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TC3AxH8is
She slides back in her seat...
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1oja4IgUO
"I-I'll go next..." Isabelle announces. Within seconds, the threads began pulling themselves out of her sleeves.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCldgbEHL7e
"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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRhOddzOqH
"I just had to wake up today! Is it wrong to get some sleep around here?!"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gRqhElBna
Dawlly smiles innocently as Isabelle continues to roar.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXwI4RZvCU
"Don't worry, I've got this.." Arsenio stands up. "Trust me, my charm is irresistible."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqbalvxJ6Z
He grabs her wrists, looks her deep into her eyes..
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HybmTjVXR
"Ah, great..." Catherine grumbled, rolling her eyes.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfj2YH0apJ
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that you look adorable when you're angry?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctN73PvdrO
Isabelle, easily flustered and caught off guard, immediately snaps back to her timid self.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGKVXGMduv
"See?" He points out. "It's like a secret perk I have." He starts throwing up two pieces of jewelry.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCcsCbG6bV
Isabelle immediately feels her ears.
"M-my earrings!"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzok4nh0uU
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."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKnpikyKEQ
Isabelle just kept turning red as she puts back on her earrings.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgAkdnRjgz
"So, you yourself do not have a Gift just yet, Arsenio?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Y87xju0Bi
"I haven't really felt anything, so no...I think."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2aw1R8oVh
Outside, bells begin to ring. Chrono looks up at the clock sitting across the room from him on the wall.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZty9wNzLR1
"Ah...only an hour left..."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubXv4JdtiS
"Is there anything else thou wants to say to us before thou becomes Father Time?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yKhyCAaa2
"Use your Gift well, and I hope we get to see each other more in the future."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oSN4nBmLm
Chrono smiles genuinely.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ9m8GMkC4
"So, what now?" Arsenio says, picking his teeth.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxjNj8MzTg
"Well, if you four are attending the ceremony, you'll have to be properly dressed."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5dKvS4uUU
"Well, Verna could've told us that earlier.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Vq1WtPHXw
"Don't worry, we have a public closet full of gowns and suits for you to wear."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTDfaFrLSj
Chrono stands up, leads them upstairs and pulls open a closet door.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUe8kiBIvb
There were attire in every color of the rainbow.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM8vg1U8c8
"Hey, now this is nice!" Catherine says, walking into the spacious closet.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgfvJLfPdO
"Don't be afraid to pick whatever you want!" Chrono says, leaving.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnG282O9LVy
Trying to decide what attire to wear, the Prodigies pick the most extravagant and dazzling outfit that fit them the most.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW90rKeKDu
The four take turns putting on their new clothes, which gleamed and twinkled in the light. Once the four return to the closet.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTCVhq6bS1
"Looking nice girls.." Arsenio says.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKys4gdic9W
"These shoes are gonna kill me later, but yeah, thanks.."
Catherine complained.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsAPYkhT4q
"Now that that portion has been completed.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l0kwQ4163
Nathaniel grabs Arsenio by the shoulder.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFWj2BHprE
"Arsenio. Thou shall come with me."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw7j6HM7LT
He drags him away.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinFozWPOqX
"Hey uh, Nathaniel, what are you trying to do?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzowTMoM6TM
"We must fix this hair of thine.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxPkvebtLq
"Wait...Nate no, my hair is fine-"
Nathaniel pulls Arsenio outside.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDJ8ud0TJY
"Well, it w-wouldn't be too wrong to d-do the same, would it?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXvWpION9I
"No, we can take turns doing each other's hair. That seems hella fun!"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6G3rPuNLeS
"O-okay!"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWMUJvKLoO
Isabelle finds some combs, brushes, and hair accessories.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTJcjp1FiC
"N-now, what kind of hairstyle would you want?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH7lpFJnXW
"Something simple, I guess. Not trying to impress anyone.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v8Rjn6LSN
Isabelle gets to unbraiding Catherine's hair, carefully and gracefully taking it apart. In the middle of brushing however, Isabelle stops.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNDHhWOSLS
"Uhm...Catherine?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjTIezABHq
"Yeah?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpB50JNObK
"There's a m-mark or something...on your neck.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYQvN5Uk8h
"Huh? What does it look like?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPwThVujqZ
"It l-looks like something scratched you... you didn't g-get attacked b-by anything, did you?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh8hDGEG1q
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.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDi7nFIt8O9
"D-Do you have any allergies?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AY4PtmUiY
"I'm not supposed to."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZE6jek5gj
"...Oh my.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jllajYDKi
"I'm not too worried about it... it'll clear up soon..."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2izwFQkE8P
"...If you say so.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfqu7tgVwg
Isabelle continues to brush and straighten Catherine's hair. Before she knew it, Isabelle was already putting a flower pin neatly upon her head.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JZd9xjdbC
Isabelle puts a mirror in front of her face. "T-Tada!"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0kWK72vGv
"Oh damn. That's actually really good."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7Zc4pjxS4
"T-thank you.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0Mc18cLHx
They switch positions, with Catherine sitting behind Isabelle to do her hair.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5svPRM7dLG
"Is there anything specific you want to get?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0C9S6LN9L
"U-Uhm.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu39ZzIt8wo
"Oh wait, I actually learned how to do this one hairstyle, French roll or something like that?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEu0nMIt32
"Okay, that one t-then.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0CLQrRRGd
"Alright."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U8jqrrRqM
Catherine gathers all of Isabelle's hair, pulling it together, wrapping it around itself, until it looks like the hairstyle.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI2aLNlR7y
"Crap, I don't have any hair pins.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZlL1qCjFr
"D-don't worry, I have a backup.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphiI2wDRhe
With her Gift, Isabelle sews the updo together until it fits securely, then places her own pin into her head.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsFxRFRI4x
"...That works too.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7dQJQT0IY
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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LsNoD4kUm
"I still don't get why you did this, it was fine as it is.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESf6GmqsE2
"Trust me, thou would rather look like this."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy30jsM0yA
"I see the boys didn't have a good time picking out hairstyles." Catherine taunted.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMoT4f5s0d
"T-They do seem to be in a debate.." Isabelle added.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Lo4dXK1hK
"It's gonna take forever to put my hair back now.." Arsenio protested.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLfRLjxKP8
"Let's not w-worry about that... we're supposed t-to have fun.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG6eTXZb95
"Yeah, I guess that's true..."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9l8TPneIA
There was thirty more minutes left. Still plenty of time to waste. Chrono comes back to check on them.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ7meSnW8l
"Ah, looking exquisite Prodigies!" Chrono praises them. "I'm sure you'll be the best looking ones out there!"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2LMg6VA2H
"Eh, I doubt it, but I feel a lot prettier in this poofy thing.." Catherine flutters the ends of her dress.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigVIU7Mbfz
"Ah, don't be so modest, you look great!"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdIN0zZND3
"Well, we still have lots of time. What should we do until then?" Arsenio asks.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3J8OJTVMER
"Why wait?" Chrono asks. "I can manipulate time at will. I'll just skip time a few minutes.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ArnSQyHRN
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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIChtlSj3dD
"...That was...strange."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6TOAwCbmN
"Let's go. The ceremony's about to start."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqck5VzdF8W
Catherine pushes Chrono out of the door. "We're right behind you, don't worry."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLvwWk2kZn
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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP4YR6jkum
The crowd begins to applaud as Verna appears behind Chrono. She clears her throat.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA57H46XAU5
"Welcome everyone, to Chrono's coronation. It's been a while since we've had one of these, huh?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3pX8gWSgm
The crowd erupted into light laughter.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblf9aBfWg3
"Anyways," she continued. "let's get to the best part."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTENknjMveh
She turns Chrono around, hold his hands gently.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvIm8A4sAQ
"Do you solemnly swear, as long as you live, that you will fairly rule over the Time Realm?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu5eYXEuH9
Chrono silently nods.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7Ki4VgIx8
Verna releases his hands, opens her own, and in them, appears an extravagant crown which seemed to glow in the light.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqfI6MXUjB
"Well then," she places it upon his head. "..you are now Father Time."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV8kNHXvF0
Everyone explodes into cheers. The Prodigies couldn't help but clap along.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiFvsaA0zx
"Now, let us commence. Grab a partner, for the party is about to begin!"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnMprEWvvC
Groups begin to pull apart into parties of two, music begins to fade in.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuW41C3JZp
Catherine feels fluttery from the tension.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzShNNf9rUO
"...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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8e8ZxlrfJ
"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."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK9FFf40Zo
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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebwSUyaE5n
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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvqP3GLC7E
"Does thou plan to do this at every party?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXMRvT1X9n
Catherine finds the source of the tension. She knew Nathaniel was standing behind her the entire time. Without looking back, she responds.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKH2ve4LtXi
"I don't have anything else to do. Why'd you follow me anyway?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkZbs703Og
"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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWAQLI7GUw
"Nate, you dumbass..."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpWMG329uE
"Hm?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlvGKsbPC3
"You have jam and crap all over your face.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcr1eLxzPM
She pulls a napkin, and is just about to hand it to him, when a voice yells in pain, quieting the party to silence.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmcl9HjZwx
"...What's going on?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bhJ2rx2Lv
"I am not sure."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYivj2Undso
"...Boost me."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe27rAaCa1
"What?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcU1JxVVCHb
Catherine struggles to climb up Nathaniel. Once she reaches his shoulders, her eyes catch something unexpected.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQPaO8PaZy
"It's...Chrono.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8JidrVNfu
The two push participants out of the way.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnwVBnAOQF
"I was worried about his hands and..." a girl whispered towards them.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQkNiVl8wv
"Don't worry, we've got this."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sR1rxJPMk
It seems like his Gift was finally coming into play.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PkQZAAouj
"Chrono...are you alright?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEPJYoz08K
Chrono grabs the edge of Catherine's dress to pull himself up.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxNPsw9LGv
"I'm fine, really! My Gift just... activated all on it's own.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKkTADPBOp
As he stands up, everyone could see his Gift's true form. His face was plated halfway with gold, just as his arms were.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9IQenX3w3
"But seriously, I'm fine!"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmFJ7nOzjZ
More of his face became jagged.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNR4U8D9Dd
"... Let's go. Nate, you get Arsenio and Isabelle."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNf2ljFCFq
Catherine pulled Chrono away from the party, taking him back the House of Father Time.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPBTgRnyja
"Okay, Chrono...what happened?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS4ocpkYHu
"I-I think the stress...plus the demonstration from this morning..."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM49LBHuzRw
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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwNF36xp6d
"C-Chrono? Are you okay?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SgEpK4gNX
"I-I am f-fine, Prodigies...this is just what happens...It's a little painful, though..."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CaZXTz7Ao
More barbs rip around his body, horns even start to curve from his head.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdeu7kf8cg
"O-Oh goodness.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKJdPrtNrx
"I just have to...fight it. I can't hurt anyone if..."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkVkbpgeWV
His breathing gets heavier than stones.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7AzKvTIoT
"Is there anyone we can get for help?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSeQUp4QPp
"You don't need to bring anyone. Just...leave before it.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiJXPqU36Y
Without thinking, Chrono threw a glass from a table right beside him.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFecKjqoPx
"Okay okay! Let's calm down.." Arsenio says, recovering from dodging.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg9vEb3gpe
"I-I can't! It's going to..."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKXoLNylh1
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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmoFBNarG1
Catherine simply used Phasing to break her fall, diving into the floor.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CQW5CT8Vt
The voice from before called again. "There she is again!"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBrIpMlXKe
"...Who the hell are you? What do you want?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWWm4eeCND
She saw a stripe of bright cyan wave past her. Catherine tried desperately to find where the line went.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbnAgeVJ5J
"...Behind you.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgPDaeQRgV
Catherine turned around to see the menacing face of a dragon staring back at her. She was about to take a breath to scream.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE8pThuvdX
"Hey, don't scream. I just want to know how you got here."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKICsywYAY
Catherine confusingly looks.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUT6AVdXwh
"This is my Gift...I can phase through crap like it's water. I broke my fall from a building.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEjlbLyIXM
"Oh, you must be the person I marked yesterday. Makes sense, I guess.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPo3LogruQ
"M-Marked?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtDBMk9nzG
"That itch you could never satisfy." It points towards Catherine's neck.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR4K2CNpoG
"...Wait, that was you?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVxVwpufnY
The serpent playfully clears it's throat before bellowing menacingly.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40KI6ZSAvT
"Allow me to become you, and I shall spare your life!"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxVtyqo8WC
"...Do I get other abilities other than falling through stuff?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDhXf8Epjf
The dragon shrugs. "I think so?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlpmvbx7vX
"Great. Come on then."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoS3baHM7c
It phases through Catherine, unlocking a surge of energy and power within her.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRy2w8rgxLb
Catherine climbs out of the dimension as the others were looking for her.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQz7RPvWbQ
"Sorry if I scared you guys.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuRbKrnsJW
"Catherine! Y-you're okay!"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHQSDfKi5p
"Yeah, I just got a new friend."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOw6h4U5Rh1
The dragon only appeared as a ghost coiled around her body.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCTcqF4dAb
"And her name is?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2iZhWQfjk
"Not sure.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLzLu2t26Y
Like a ghost, the dragon swapped her soul with Catherine's.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwjLbLKuU4
"Piravit. My name is Piravit, the Spiritual Dragon of Phasing. I have chosen Catherine here as my host..."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYB0Sikpf7m
"Thou is...possessing her.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6cZDaj7EJ
"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."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzraztUaEj
"Cool. Now...about him.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln91RmDGCu
Arsenio points at the shattered window that Catherine fell out of.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ892eoWafeC
Chrono's roar echoed throughout the realm as he perched on the window.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTkSqXkc6S
"Oi! You have some explaining to do!"
Catherine says as she takes back control of her body.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHV9sPjsQd
"...Catherine, that's the Time Beast!"
Piravit says as a echoing voice inside her head.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0jRGFhk2u
"Eh? That's Chrono, that's just his Gift."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZvRqlJqb7
"Like you, he's been marked. If he sees me with you, he'll kill us both!"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLupBIlgsc
As on cue, Chrono jumps down right in front of Catherine, as if analyzing her. Then with angry aura, throws her again.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmVcShZkZa
Catherine hits the ground, tumbling.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4vlAeVYg2
She struggles to pick herself up, as Chrono runs towards her.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3R4ELAW3S
"What the hell did you do for him to get pissed off?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAOkhICk71
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.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60yKBdCS9c
"You have gotta be kidding me!"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKICSP5yKTw
"But don't worry! I'm sure if we beat him, he'll come to his senses!"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWPcoVDWeF
Chrono pulls a punch towards them, only to be stopped by Isabelle's thread.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOmxUn55rA
"C-Chrono! You h-have to come t-to your senses!"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRchnooWOL6
"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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lXm36Spvs
"I-I'm sorry...I can't k-keep him still..."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpTszUrp4b
"It's alright! You've spared me some time!"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tfz4qjckt
"Let me take over!" Piravit immediately pulls Catherine out, becoming the one in control.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtLX7ICE6z
As soon as Chrono began a barrage of punches, Piravit pulls away, but was able to only dodge a few before tanking them.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh25jGHnSb
"He's way too fast! I can't get a hit on him!"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpMMoFj94z
As Chrono kept punching her in the chest, Piravit, in Catherine's body, was thinking of ideas, pondering as hard as her breathing.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtKRIO8hmW
Piravit begins to punch rapidly in response, until the two stop.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkDZ3fTWCg
"I have to say..." Piravit states tauntingly. " You've given me quite the workout since I left my dimension-"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpdFDL2kcE
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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSDjJN0mtC
"So, p-playing dirty are we?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr51NXjwPxV
Chrono responds with an angry, but silent, glare.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lZFm4fdvH
"Great, I like games without rules..."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32qUooC87d
Piravit phases back into the floor. When they return to the Phasing Dimension, the two separate.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWMrKSYH8s
"Okay, so new plan..."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zFK49xyBg
Catherine coughs as she feels the after effects of earlier.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AOWwrd5i3
"You better think of something and fast..."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1TLlKye40
"There's one last thing we can do, but you have to follow a specific set of rules and-"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam4vsRN181
"Nevermind... I'll figure something out.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOBkHzgmRN
Catherine jumps from the dimension and behind Chrono, where she sneakily kicks him.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB5q57ew1Y
Piravit follows shortly behind her.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LRCsWA9lO
She kneels down towards Chrono.
"Well? Are you having fun yet? Not fun being attacked without noticing, huh?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMdtcIIwOf
Chrono swipes at Catherine's arm, barely cutting her.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9cck0uRmG
"...Nah. Didn't think so.." she says, standing up. "Didn't know you'd get this bad.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt37BlgJDr
She picks him up. "Come on. Let's finish this so you can go back to normal at least. I have things to do.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9Yeqpu6xJ
Catherine stands in a fighting position.
"I'll only use my power alone."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEmFrya1I0
"Then allow me to join you." Arsenio says, standing beside her.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk22SRrQurv
"What are you gonna do, flirt him to death?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzXtkGqGdA
"I actually had something else in mind.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL7QO4vQE5
Arsenio was finally able to conjure a Gift, as an arm cannon faded to fit on top of his hand.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJz9NkOaqO
"I wanted to test this thing, you know?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wJwymAwKU
"...Whatever."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCKug9mQyV
"Come forward..." Chrono says menacingly.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqAS0KYJF4
"Whatever you say, your Majesty."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdsGdnqlwH
As the two-on-one began, more of the participants of the ceremony began to watch from a distance.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g7zIfd3d6
"Seems like we've made quite an audience.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL5jBXtpAw
"Let's make this the best coronation the Time Realm has ever seen.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4euRQAnfM
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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPU9PagOD5
With a sharp yell, time itself began to slow.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK4U3TZ82F
"Damnit! We're stuck until.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGJDPUHZ0C
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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiPTBwWQ0s
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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6r2hNSjTVC
"...I don't think we're gonna make it if he keeps stopping time like that.." She says, spitting up blood and standing up.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuKwDTyHe5
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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiANgRdsEDy
Catherine jumps up.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1lLjlMNaD
"You're welcome!" Arsenio says from afar.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWBTT3feQN
"Thanks! Keep looking for openings!"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjewH0175O
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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGt5E0ChXe
"A-alright...you've proven your worth.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3ChKq52dw
"Is this Chrono we're speaking to?" Arsenio asks as his Gift charges up once again and picks Catherine up.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5cFWR4dOC
"I-I'm not sure.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8cnGxS9fz
"Make sure you're sure. I'd hate to hit you with this thing for no reason."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi26tCpGA9R
"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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjZxJIgN64
Chrono shakes his head. "N-nevermind! Let us continue with the celebration, yes?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiQRCwEBOf
"To be honest, I'm worn out..."
Catherine huffed. "You're like...crazy strong."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05RHXGb6qG
"I-I'll make it up to you, I swear!"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsbAaKxN4X
Piravit peeks from the floor. "Can I come out now?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe3l3CdWi4
"Depends.." Chrono says. "Are you willing to take your side of the deal?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjKWHvEuhP
"Eep!" Piravit says, coiling itself around Catherine and hiding behind her. "A-Ah! My part of the deal...?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfCV0Xf81r
"You shall give me full entry to your dimension. That was your promise to me."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW15bCcLfMX
"...Fine. But you can't keep using Chrono as a vessel for your battles."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkcURGGDhk
Chrono stares for a second, before hitting the ground, parts of his golden shell chipping off.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz6LqYwuhi
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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRz2dseNoo
"He's suppressed his power...I think."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQiuAVToIc
"Wait, they have a gender?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNoGplgr2m
"Yeah..." Piravit answered. "It is quite obvious that I'm female. No whiskers, see?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JLtWv3EuY
"I guess.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C6DHxdyUW
"Catherine! Arsenio!" Isabelle says, stumbling her own feet. "A-Are you two alright?"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdhab5jwNh
"I'm good. Not sure about Catherine though."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrrbLQv35U
"Nah, I'll be alright. I don't think he broke anything."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVT43wcfIm
Nathaniel also approaches them with another tart in hand.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8HxAbW8xa
"Nate! You just had one of those things!"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtqCLigvem
"I must try every single flavor." He says taking another giant bite.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIOJkqrheR
"..M-Maybe we should g-go.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlon6s8t5lw
"Are you sure? We can just...continue the party as normal.."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4yzjrMUkB
Arsenio shrugs. "Seems like a plan to me."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1KOzmLbjA
Slowly, the music begins to play. Partners begin to group together. It was like the party was uninterrupted the entire time.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh54NxjzQHg
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.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWx5QtOrDW
After the party, the Prodigies carried Chrono back into the House of Father Time.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxhqnPWlMj
"Thank you, you four. Hopefully I can get around with solving some of your Timebreaker problems sometime!"
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy3rniMAbP
"We'd greatly appreciate it. We don't know how strong the next one'll be."
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fLv3mOD4F
Chrono waves them away as they go back to the Sanctuary. Ezra was already asleep when they returned, wrapped up in a blanket.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BrIFyaspi
"Well, we should get some rest too."
Catherine announced.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntziO0ZcMW
"Way ahead of you." Arsenio says, dropping into the bed.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k10wm8qWG
Everyone puts themselves to bed for the night, and the Prodigies fall asleep.
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvXSy7poOQ
Silently, in the middle of the night, someone's Tempural Energy swarmed the room...
385Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdj7nDmTF3
