"Rise and shine, Prodigies!" Verna's peppy voice awoken the group. "Let's get ready for the coronation of Father Time today!"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGXsB6YqnC
Catherine scratches her neck as she pushes the quilt off. "Coronation?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymP1pYNRpG
"Apparently, a new Father Time is to be crowned today." Nathaniel states, stretching.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISZ6k0yfpq
"Your mission today is to just watch over the new guy before the celebration begins. Pretty easy, right?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PbCBMzoPM
"Wait...our job today is to be a goddamn babysitter?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KXtfW84n5
"If that's how you view it, yes. But as a reward, you get to go to the after-party!"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUN0dKgcQh
"That at least solves dinner..." Ezra thinks aloud.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4t0F9QzTF
"Breakfast will be served once you get there, so just put on your clothes and shoes and...look a little presentable.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmKALnKpXA
"No prob.." Arsenio says. "Let me just get my morning tea before I go.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGcVWrBntn
"T-Tea?" Isabelle asks while brushing her hair.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSBWg3REpC
"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."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2qwS4ZW9V
"...Alright then..." Arsenio says, slowly sitting down and sliding his hands in his coat pockets. "I'll just wait until later then.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8o9M2dDDt
"Is everyone ready?" Verna asks, peeking into the room as she does so.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbMSOZ2TNR
"I think so.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IbSOcH5nf
"Good, good!" she fully opens the doors to let the Prodigies out. "Then, let's go, shall we?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtqKlccbBn
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Esw4FlruF
"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."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0eEswPrQP
"...Is it because he's blonde?" Catherine remarked.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTMfBnCIej
"... That might have had a influence on the nickname, yes."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW661QJFzFy
They watched as walked stone faced across to the home of Father Time.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ElcGQhhA9
"Let's go." Verna says, instructing them to follow Chrono.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Uq7AFHVZ0
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClD9hRVf1q
"Hello?" Catherine waited for a response.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBW4TLQJdOV
"J-Just a minute!" A voice called out before crashing and falling is heard. Then, from the stairs emerged Chrono.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK5sUGiAF1
"Verna, very nice to see you again. And these four might be?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRTQxjZewS
"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."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95oRY4lEek
"I see..."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl49cvEVw8z
"Thanks again for doing this, guys."
Verna time warps away.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZbhplvoIj
"...Which one of you is which? I just don't want to be confused.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHumwpxEQsl
They introduce themselves once again, giving him some clarity.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvmW2gpvxy
"Ah, well it's nice to meet all of you."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcv3Ruht0y
"Verna t-told us that w-we would have s-some breakfast.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDMNuACZJY
"Of course. You've come here quite early, so I'm sure you four are starving."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHTK59owF2
"Yeah..." Catherine agreed, lightly holding her stomach.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4F9ORMEkcl
"I thought so. I've prepared something, so don't worry."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMwW47kU91
Chrono brandishes a golden door, which he promptly throws open and reveals some nice breakfast meals, already plated and ready to eat.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8P8hcCKSH
"You m-made all of this yourself?!" Catherine exclaimed, impressed.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrSBFfqCEZ
"I was just planning on making food for myself, but I didn't want to be rude.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhqnWf6iz2
"It does look rather...delectable..." Nathaniel says, clearing his throat.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHr4XlsYfR
"Well, shall we eat or watch it get cold?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD36RM2di6n
The four Prodigies and the Son of Time all sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast, basically wolfing down the entire plate before them.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmb3eRiFR8
"Man, that was good..." Arsenio says, stretching in his seat.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDaDgxZ6wX
"I'm glad you enjoyed. It's very difficult to find people who enjoy similar interests to me."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YCr5NCpJW
"Now what? Do you just read books and whatnot?" Catherine asked, taking the last sip of her drink.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYewQHL9xtT
"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.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMC2cylHZs
"Then why not join us? From what we've experienced, we certainly need the help." Arsenio asks, leaned back in his chair.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmSJvOBA9H
"I was never suited for things like that, unfortunately..." Chrono sighs. "My Gift is also a little...hard to control."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKr53aFQ4b
"...Can we see it?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwJg38mz3Y
Chrono begins to rub his arms as guilt and embarrassment threw itself on his face.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRqv9R7OL1
"You can say no, you know..." Catherine speaks. "No one's forcing you."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQntn3M4fw
"It's...complicated."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJbAe3vmsq
"That's u-understandable...I have a Gift I can't quite c-control myself..."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H4oVrJKyd
Dawlly immediately pops itself out of Isabelle's pocket with an annoyed look.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBPfsXb28P
"I-It's true..." she looks at Dawlly with the same annoyed look.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27UBvn1Tp1
"Interesting.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGtpPEunm7
"Is there anything else you like to do other than read and fantasize?" Catherine asks.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCjbEKyR36
"I like to learn more about my Gift."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFOsbBQnO3
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuNaYgPUdD
"O-oh my.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx47tynRBC
"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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BtRVxgicu
"So, what's your Gift? I'm sure you four have gotten one.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jG4k3BpX8
Catherine nudges Nathaniel. "You show yours first. You're the supposed leader."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RCkGV1MWd
"I have never said that I was a leader..."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ848FizI5ge
"W-Well..." Isabelle added. "You d-do know the most out of all of us..."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq4YUqkLuI
"...Fine.." Nathaniel reluctantly agrees.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0gtw06lhT
First, his arm, then up to his shoulder, until his entire body was covered in armor.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGoF8PcSmR
"You never told me you could do that.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6Ea6nMNO4
"I feel as if there is... no need to use the full Gift. It is...uncomfortable.." He speaks from within the suit.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhum1xVSYEE
"Well, get the hell out of it then..."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDCd9qdhO4
He removes himself from the armor, reverting back to his velvet clothes.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUo34SR2U9
"Well, since thou wants to assume roles, maybe thou would like to go next, co-leader?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ42o89Itbx
"Of course you pin this crap on me.." Catherine growled. "But sure, why not?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthhrm96K4V
She slips through her chair, and all the way through the floor.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2Uo4hmVlv
It was like she was in her own dimension, her escape from reality. She swam around as she heard the others from above.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODKw0g3TAy
That's when she heard a voice calling her name from the distance.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVXcu3zjzC
"Hello?" The voice creepily whispered.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMbVZz1fBk
"The hell?" She exclaimed. That freaked her out enough to pull herself out of the Phasing dimension.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxvWepXVT1
She gasped, as if she was underwater when she crawled out.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWURj1nsmO
"You alright? You've been in the floor for quite a while..." Arsenio mentioned.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgp2HrU133
"...Yeah, something just... freaked me out.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1dxThV3Qp
She slides back in her seat...
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewHhwXuRKK
"I-I'll go next..." Isabelle announces. Within seconds, the threads began pulling themselves out of her sleeves.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4A9JUxrva
"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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUzFkAyu8G
"I just had to wake up today! Is it wrong to get some sleep around here?!"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KuzVZvZWZ
Dawlly smiles innocently as Isabelle continues to roar.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRYZJ1z7U6
"Don't worry, I've got this.." Arsenio stands up. "Trust me, my charm is irresistible."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSR3CeBF4F
He grabs her wrists, looks her deep into her eyes..
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GW6DK2u3Y
"Ah, great..." Catherine grumbled, rolling her eyes.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTbCUTN84z
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that you look adorable when you're angry?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFipqbg8n9v
Isabelle, easily flustered and caught off guard, immediately snaps back to her timid self.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPsCl3wHhM
"See?" He points out. "It's like a secret perk I have." He starts throwing up two pieces of jewelry.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QXF0fzsB7
Isabelle immediately feels her ears.
"M-my earrings!"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpgRa7V9Cg
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."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xgBc6NbB3
Isabelle just kept turning red as she puts back on her earrings.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnfLdGf3aj
"So, you yourself do not have a Gift just yet, Arsenio?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4ChddAQi2
"I haven't really felt anything, so no...I think."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy8jp4GERk
Outside, bells begin to ring. Chrono looks up at the clock sitting across the room from him on the wall.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YL34kNIld
"Ah...only an hour left..."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2lJhAjbdn
"Is there anything else thou wants to say to us before thou becomes Father Time?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRZ5KhlChu
"Use your Gift well, and I hope we get to see each other more in the future."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5BKkkBKpo
Chrono smiles genuinely.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGzQMSnfgY
"So, what now?" Arsenio says, picking his teeth.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx9c4yj7YU
"Well, if you four are attending the ceremony, you'll have to be properly dressed."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhLxQKxnNs
"Well, Verna could've told us that earlier.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCCEsD8y2T
"Don't worry, we have a public closet full of gowns and suits for you to wear."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJ2AnowboO
Chrono stands up, leads them upstairs and pulls open a closet door.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7HTrnuHBT
There were attire in every color of the rainbow.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrGg9py9PC
"Hey, now this is nice!" Catherine says, walking into the spacious closet.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQwg0PX643
"Don't be afraid to pick whatever you want!" Chrono says, leaving.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQmp8MUR0d
Trying to decide what attire to wear, the Prodigies pick the most extravagant and dazzling outfit that fit them the most.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMSamlS394
The four take turns putting on their new clothes, which gleamed and twinkled in the light. Once the four return to the closet.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQW0CX5c5c
"Looking nice girls.." Arsenio says.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEynuVXj1G
"These shoes are gonna kill me later, but yeah, thanks.."
Catherine complained.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGOxxYxRnh
"Now that that portion has been completed.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh4yeLda8I
Nathaniel grabs Arsenio by the shoulder.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWCv7Iqs0A
"Arsenio. Thou shall come with me."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAPGDX1JJJ
He drags him away.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPkA6zjPco
"Hey uh, Nathaniel, what are you trying to do?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtE9YmCgtNb
"We must fix this hair of thine.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT2n2nA0VI
"Wait...Nate no, my hair is fine-"
Nathaniel pulls Arsenio outside.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXtBaY1zIi
"Well, it w-wouldn't be too wrong to d-do the same, would it?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdG3FVtYdE
"No, we can take turns doing each other's hair. That seems hella fun!"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pqhXUrU2c
"O-okay!"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNGJBUdsXF
Isabelle finds some combs, brushes, and hair accessories.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejVryVMbrh
"N-now, what kind of hairstyle would you want?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqcEFhleyg
"Something simple, I guess. Not trying to impress anyone.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8o9iaM2Eb
Isabelle gets to unbraiding Catherine's hair, carefully and gracefully taking it apart. In the middle of brushing however, Isabelle stops.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1gIqXyw6l
"Uhm...Catherine?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJaewh0lzt
"Yeah?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGaYfCviZK
"There's a m-mark or something...on your neck.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n470sHhuU
"Huh? What does it look like?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKR6aj06Nh
"It l-looks like something scratched you... you didn't g-get attacked b-by anything, did you?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYY6IMWKiH
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.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlkFTF90hG
"D-Do you have any allergies?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvywlieCFX
"I'm not supposed to."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6CJbudeYZ
"...Oh my.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedcSffBM9f
"I'm not too worried about it... it'll clear up soon..."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cwT4byrfS
"...If you say so.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VZhpQHvGe
Isabelle continues to brush and straighten Catherine's hair. Before she knew it, Isabelle was already putting a flower pin neatly upon her head.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUmogQoICS
Isabelle puts a mirror in front of her face. "T-Tada!"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecaCwtXnbT
"Oh damn. That's actually really good."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsKsbjwXwG
"T-thank you.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UHWgYa9a0
They switch positions, with Catherine sitting behind Isabelle to do her hair.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpi3cSDMNyc
"Is there anything specific you want to get?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWVvkebGxF
"U-Uhm.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoYTKjjNEy
"Oh wait, I actually learned how to do this one hairstyle, French roll or something like that?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpefO4niXZc
"Okay, that one t-then.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIrc0fkGu2
"Alright."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmsXU2WHI1
Catherine gathers all of Isabelle's hair, pulling it together, wrapping it around itself, until it looks like the hairstyle.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzAzb6Zpxu
"Crap, I don't have any hair pins.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYuowL0tJA
"D-don't worry, I have a backup.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt21FLvtXMT
With her Gift, Isabelle sews the updo together until it fits securely, then places her own pin into her head.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxT2VPND2d
"...That works too.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2yoLgvDx6
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9jbbTy8SS
"I still don't get why you did this, it was fine as it is.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnONyWp1arJ
"Trust me, thou would rather look like this."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfDseGe99G
"I see the boys didn't have a good time picking out hairstyles." Catherine taunted.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsfeToJzpH
"T-They do seem to be in a debate.." Isabelle added.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4OP7VtNAj
"It's gonna take forever to put my hair back now.." Arsenio protested.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1rGFffjTY
"Let's not w-worry about that... we're supposed t-to have fun.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ1cyZ6Jra
"Yeah, I guess that's true..."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44zQEnUarq
There was thirty more minutes left. Still plenty of time to waste. Chrono comes back to check on them.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69VYGpJiiD
"Ah, looking exquisite Prodigies!" Chrono praises them. "I'm sure you'll be the best looking ones out there!"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIO3nPQF2Xj
"Eh, I doubt it, but I feel a lot prettier in this poofy thing.." Catherine flutters the ends of her dress.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPWs5LO1l1
"Ah, don't be so modest, you look great!"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QHt2xJQQB
"Well, we still have lots of time. What should we do until then?" Arsenio asks.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ILMCD67TW
"Why wait?" Chrono asks. "I can manipulate time at will. I'll just skip time a few minutes.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL462p73k7G
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7H2ptMmxz
"...That was...strange."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw628UF2k8R
"Let's go. The ceremony's about to start."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZyi18NptO
Catherine pushes Chrono out of the door. "We're right behind you, don't worry."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI5dc4BTuW
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm1Beyb6no
The crowd begins to applaud as Verna appears behind Chrono. She clears her throat.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbzWM95LAq
"Welcome everyone, to Chrono's coronation. It's been a while since we've had one of these, huh?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxmrfDo4Km
The crowd erupted into light laughter.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOf4cbFxbH
"Anyways," she continued. "let's get to the best part."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlNWn5Ekww
She turns Chrono around, hold his hands gently.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5f4fFeBd8m
"Do you solemnly swear, as long as you live, that you will fairly rule over the Time Realm?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULs1CNKSfH
Chrono silently nods.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH23GXlOGTE
Verna releases his hands, opens her own, and in them, appears an extravagant crown which seemed to glow in the light.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwgjDQJmDa
"Well then," she places it upon his head. "..you are now Father Time."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykCx1qhnE2
Everyone explodes into cheers. The Prodigies couldn't help but clap along.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvLrFruX9l
"Now, let us commence. Grab a partner, for the party is about to begin!"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH07Q5Bo89
Groups begin to pull apart into parties of two, music begins to fade in.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aoZV1CdKg
Catherine feels fluttery from the tension.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs9tQMos9f
"...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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjSCSfNgnD
"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."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDcu47eJ3R
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHfGu4doXC
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYEO0N6FCs
"Does thou plan to do this at every party?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1DlPVGLh8
Catherine finds the source of the tension. She knew Nathaniel was standing behind her the entire time. Without looking back, she responds.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniGVrcixIl
"I don't have anything else to do. Why'd you follow me anyway?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGljyLs0ErU
"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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN73oke5lx
"Nate, you dumbass..."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiX0JUAGXa
"Hm?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZloZeRjAd
"You have jam and crap all over your face.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgTqYUyn4e
She pulls a napkin, and is just about to hand it to him, when a voice yells in pain, quieting the party to silence.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUGtoHg11i
"...What's going on?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJJfl2kRD1
"I am not sure."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalX1HruPoK
"...Boost me."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXU68l7g4i
"What?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYiqFFcPBs
Catherine struggles to climb up Nathaniel. Once she reaches his shoulders, her eyes catch something unexpected.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGZ8AFJYOf
"It's...Chrono.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQtQKNftkK
The two push participants out of the way.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVpmf1vYpB
"I was worried about his hands and..." a girl whispered towards them.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhktqemgOnd
"Don't worry, we've got this."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq0mIYHdK8
It seems like his Gift was finally coming into play.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBSpDspDXv
"Chrono...are you alright?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKgN4SpPVw
Chrono grabs the edge of Catherine's dress to pull himself up.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gbbqMqrZo
"I'm fine, really! My Gift just... activated all on it's own.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEpp06I2S5
As he stands up, everyone could see his Gift's true form. His face was plated halfway with gold, just as his arms were.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDgC0VvJ21
"But seriously, I'm fine!"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAC8xHWodl6
More of his face became jagged.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6b9Gzw95o
"... Let's go. Nate, you get Arsenio and Isabelle."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPfNCCw2UT
Catherine pulled Chrono away from the party, taking him back the House of Father Time.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnPGzHuiiz
"Okay, Chrono...what happened?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOBsNxGiZF
"I-I think the stress...plus the demonstration from this morning..."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01iAh3ND0e
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWgxfOxPQz
"C-Chrono? Are you okay?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybQGvuf0GV
"I-I am f-fine, Prodigies...this is just what happens...It's a little painful, though..."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq4vTPban7
More barbs rip around his body, horns even start to curve from his head.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwPUyi8NDD
"O-Oh goodness.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcWarzwVi8
"I just have to...fight it. I can't hurt anyone if..."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgwVDb35Hg
His breathing gets heavier than stones.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx9eYLIDn3
"Is there anyone we can get for help?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1ZNBJBcCs
"You don't need to bring anyone. Just...leave before it.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZtFFx53c2
Without thinking, Chrono threw a glass from a table right beside him.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxU1YrmvTe
"Okay okay! Let's calm down.." Arsenio says, recovering from dodging.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLqtjoNhZk
"I-I can't! It's going to..."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlh5GPP7mcY
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfrNywBAPu
Catherine simply used Phasing to break her fall, diving into the floor.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVvSg9hpXQ
The voice from before called again. "There she is again!"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn6UEx4MEC
"...Who the hell are you? What do you want?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfnPJzknup
She saw a stripe of bright cyan wave past her. Catherine tried desperately to find where the line went.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi5RUCgy6S
"...Behind you.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6wO44ViHt
Catherine turned around to see the menacing face of a dragon staring back at her. She was about to take a breath to scream.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAwFlpu7B4
"Hey, don't scream. I just want to know how you got here."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bcdHCP0YJ
Catherine confusingly looks.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9HRNEd3VB
"This is my Gift...I can phase through crap like it's water. I broke my fall from a building.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpfHcRNQCu
"Oh, you must be the person I marked yesterday. Makes sense, I guess.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9RCDY8qFS
"M-Marked?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0fX7ByiWZ
"That itch you could never satisfy." It points towards Catherine's neck.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwJPH0wLas
"...Wait, that was you?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFpH24QdIs
The serpent playfully clears it's throat before bellowing menacingly.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjuJlGNeWk
"Allow me to become you, and I shall spare your life!"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVAtOCRM4t
"...Do I get other abilities other than falling through stuff?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuubgiByHP
The dragon shrugs. "I think so?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8crPaZrZh
"Great. Come on then."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLis9dyYvNo
It phases through Catherine, unlocking a surge of energy and power within her.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rQdepRR4x
Catherine climbs out of the dimension as the others were looking for her.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxq5F4icrc
"Sorry if I scared you guys.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ehKJpfiIV
"Catherine! Y-you're okay!"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzqo3qkc5m
"Yeah, I just got a new friend."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSYQ1dkUsI
The dragon only appeared as a ghost coiled around her body.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3Jl87ngDF
"And her name is?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEOPhaxQjO
"Not sure.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPD3UkXyqq
Like a ghost, the dragon swapped her soul with Catherine's.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSnjSYGYj4
"Piravit. My name is Piravit, the Spiritual Dragon of Phasing. I have chosen Catherine here as my host..."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyG39vsO6D
"Thou is...possessing her.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupfP0KEnEr
"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."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5BPIRndZj
"Cool. Now...about him.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpLoSXCuT2
Arsenio points at the shattered window that Catherine fell out of.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNqh8lLPlj
Chrono's roar echoed throughout the realm as he perched on the window.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV4hIuSIPu
"Oi! You have some explaining to do!"
Catherine says as she takes back control of her body.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yfzgKdQqs
"...Catherine, that's the Time Beast!"
Piravit says as a echoing voice inside her head.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAfygSXFRr
"Eh? That's Chrono, that's just his Gift."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSf8KrBll8
"Like you, he's been marked. If he sees me with you, he'll kill us both!"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ6MUzgARk
As on cue, Chrono jumps down right in front of Catherine, as if analyzing her. Then with angry aura, throws her again.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPauBQuKn7L
Catherine hits the ground, tumbling.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0OoZZzjsr
She struggles to pick herself up, as Chrono runs towards her.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxub5zuqcyy
"What the hell did you do for him to get pissed off?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLONvKX1xz
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.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwNrkYstwM
"You have gotta be kidding me!"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pxg6eWXMp
"But don't worry! I'm sure if we beat him, he'll come to his senses!"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5i7zF65bA
Chrono pulls a punch towards them, only to be stopped by Isabelle's thread.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7laVZGoG5
"C-Chrono! You h-have to come t-to your senses!"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQyPJacyjM
"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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1AEvmtYiz
"I-I'm sorry...I can't k-keep him still..."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgQFVrHJiB
"It's alright! You've spared me some time!"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVQ3okPr4U
"Let me take over!" Piravit immediately pulls Catherine out, becoming the one in control.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDo6jYsd3v
As soon as Chrono began a barrage of punches, Piravit pulls away, but was able to only dodge a few before tanking them.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oUyyGJMDH
"He's way too fast! I can't get a hit on him!"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZIsaMCXUf
As Chrono kept punching her in the chest, Piravit, in Catherine's body, was thinking of ideas, pondering as hard as her breathing.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdQ0et3mMK
Piravit begins to punch rapidly in response, until the two stop.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt4jAe9ECE
"I have to say..." Piravit states tauntingly. " You've given me quite the workout since I left my dimension-"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBTAZbhcc1
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yB1Ob9WRx
"So, p-playing dirty are we?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6cVZC1TZT
Chrono responds with an angry, but silent, glare.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZswtcJ6uE0
"Great, I like games without rules..."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dOuipKB6n
Piravit phases back into the floor. When they return to the Phasing Dimension, the two separate.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCjwMgCbgi
"Okay, so new plan..."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XjrHyx69h
Catherine coughs as she feels the after effects of earlier.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbbhxtesS9
"You better think of something and fast..."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQuf3Y2PAX
"There's one last thing we can do, but you have to follow a specific set of rules and-"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvachqnPDOu
"Nevermind... I'll figure something out.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38dHUeMl4y
Catherine jumps from the dimension and behind Chrono, where she sneakily kicks him.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92kbeatunT
Piravit follows shortly behind her.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfcvjzN5hL
She kneels down towards Chrono.
"Well? Are you having fun yet? Not fun being attacked without noticing, huh?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DNycEoZbZ
Chrono swipes at Catherine's arm, barely cutting her.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKFQZh3nox
"...Nah. Didn't think so.." she says, standing up. "Didn't know you'd get this bad.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Lh93wsRWl
She picks him up. "Come on. Let's finish this so you can go back to normal at least. I have things to do.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg78piNduX9
Catherine stands in a fighting position.
"I'll only use my power alone."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJVLi7aWbV
"Then allow me to join you." Arsenio says, standing beside her.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRblP2ok1Xl
"What are you gonna do, flirt him to death?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQKEtkNb4Y
"I actually had something else in mind.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sxpMqUhBP
Arsenio was finally able to conjure a Gift, as an arm cannon faded to fit on top of his hand.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9OxbexKWV
"I wanted to test this thing, you know?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW6yOw0lmq
"...Whatever."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RzJRQs6hA
"Come forward..." Chrono says menacingly.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rLzCIUQ2N
"Whatever you say, your Majesty."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPmSs0M2nz
As the two-on-one began, more of the participants of the ceremony began to watch from a distance.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ80LKsvY7g
"Seems like we've made quite an audience.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa02IVQAdt3
"Let's make this the best coronation the Time Realm has ever seen.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMQZ92xoJT
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJXU61fyPG
With a sharp yell, time itself began to slow.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkesOPyhsv6
"Damnit! We're stuck until.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDSjFiu1tP
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8pwucNZzb
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgOnNTSV6x
"...I don't think we're gonna make it if he keeps stopping time like that.." She says, spitting up blood and standing up.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteQeJF5VnV
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qEi9miGCn
Catherine jumps up.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4t4AScRrH
"You're welcome!" Arsenio says from afar.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAppIN0yPYq
"Thanks! Keep looking for openings!"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlWJhJgXbI
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEynN6MGSq0
"A-alright...you've proven your worth.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarGG0sDHgJ
"Is this Chrono we're speaking to?" Arsenio asks as his Gift charges up once again and picks Catherine up.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN0sOGPItJ
"I-I'm not sure.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikgb6w6fbd
"Make sure you're sure. I'd hate to hit you with this thing for no reason."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZaCcWPPTP
"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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsFeImsApm
Chrono shakes his head. "N-nevermind! Let us continue with the celebration, yes?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIl1Xgc4gu
"To be honest, I'm worn out..."
Catherine huffed. "You're like...crazy strong."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3CrRrch6S
"I-I'll make it up to you, I swear!"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA7RRGOfor
Piravit peeks from the floor. "Can I come out now?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvLBmJHcXn
"Depends.." Chrono says. "Are you willing to take your side of the deal?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hbhR5uW2P
"Eep!" Piravit says, coiling itself around Catherine and hiding behind her. "A-Ah! My part of the deal...?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z2pidgs9f
"You shall give me full entry to your dimension. That was your promise to me."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ4JCMMlvi
"...Fine. But you can't keep using Chrono as a vessel for your battles."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vEaap1GGS
Chrono stares for a second, before hitting the ground, parts of his golden shell chipping off.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmemVuIhlHD
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem7E7Wxeqc
"He's suppressed his power...I think."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGmsrxuees
"Wait, they have a gender?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVy90mtIRi
"Yeah..." Piravit answered. "It is quite obvious that I'm female. No whiskers, see?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwqLftyqhX
"I guess.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAhkpLvQQV
"Catherine! Arsenio!" Isabelle says, stumbling her own feet. "A-Are you two alright?"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAsdXCtxKM
"I'm good. Not sure about Catherine though."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfrtZjvFbV
"Nah, I'll be alright. I don't think he broke anything."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBjnco7PVU
Nathaniel also approaches them with another tart in hand.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYLWKvGK41
"Nate! You just had one of those things!"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRxTeB8pww
"I must try every single flavor." He says taking another giant bite.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaxjIcWcy8
"..M-Maybe we should g-go.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcK2lC9iMZ
"Are you sure? We can just...continue the party as normal.."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjTajP5CQd
Arsenio shrugs. "Seems like a plan to me."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcxMLk5Vi7
Slowly, the music begins to play. Partners begin to group together. It was like the party was uninterrupted the entire time.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtD5DhwkJ3
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.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzerwzVBoJg
After the party, the Prodigies carried Chrono back into the House of Father Time.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdhx2Yge1g
"Thank you, you four. Hopefully I can get around with solving some of your Timebreaker problems sometime!"
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O72kS3zLi
"We'd greatly appreciate it. We don't know how strong the next one'll be."
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyPDcQt8bc
Chrono waves them away as they go back to the Sanctuary. Ezra was already asleep when they returned, wrapped up in a blanket.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM1SImP65q
"Well, we should get some rest too."
Catherine announced.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQqvMuC6Mo
"Way ahead of you." Arsenio says, dropping into the bed.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm1VAIclrY
Everyone puts themselves to bed for the night, and the Prodigies fall asleep.
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODPRP8dnwP
Silently, in the middle of the night, someone's Tempural Energy swarmed the room...
507Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuDCOpd1Qv
