"Rise and shine, Prodigies!" Verna's peppy voice awoken the group. "Let's get ready for the coronation of Father Time today!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6EHr7RtPA
Catherine scratches her neck as she pushes the quilt off. "Coronation?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsRyacR7Kl
"Apparently, a new Father Time is to be crowned today." Nathaniel states, stretching.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RstSK8zVN
"Your mission today is to just watch over the new guy before the celebration begins. Pretty easy, right?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5drkFrfoi
"Wait...our job today is to be a goddamn babysitter?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7BuD9YuJS
"If that's how you view it, yes. But as a reward, you get to go to the after-party!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlgzf6JTBE
"That at least solves dinner..." Ezra thinks aloud.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvCA9Z2hCS
"Breakfast will be served once you get there, so just put on your clothes and shoes and...look a little presentable.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfa40SD1RL
"No prob.." Arsenio says. "Let me just get my morning tea before I go.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStrRgOAMMM
"T-Tea?" Isabelle asks while brushing her hair.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4RWs1pZXW
"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."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmwOVWqxaM
"...Alright then..." Arsenio says, slowly sitting down and sliding his hands in his coat pockets. "I'll just wait until later then.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYWnLulFax
"Is everyone ready?" Verna asks, peeking into the room as she does so.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqibW9nMPgh
"I think so.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRPn90slqd
"Good, good!" she fully opens the doors to let the Prodigies out. "Then, let's go, shall we?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP77hMpPQEL
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYaobglChq
"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."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBVgP0LvRZ
"...Is it because he's blonde?" Catherine remarked.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrS2OI2M8M
"... That might have had a influence on the nickname, yes."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLALbB4Pu7
They watched as walked stone faced across to the home of Father Time.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOWoFmK0E5
"Let's go." Verna says, instructing them to follow Chrono.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LKtNPxfRu
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyrNzu0yF0
"Hello?" Catherine waited for a response.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3THKhRky3
"J-Just a minute!" A voice called out before crashing and falling is heard. Then, from the stairs emerged Chrono.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxzYiwDei9
"Verna, very nice to see you again. And these four might be?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKmY0sy1tB
"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."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcDAewuOpH
"I see..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IE8LTYV1Q
"Thanks again for doing this, guys."
Verna time warps away.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4atwK0UNvB
"...Which one of you is which? I just don't want to be confused.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6czg4lFWu
They introduce themselves once again, giving him some clarity.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZMhGoVeFx
"Ah, well it's nice to meet all of you."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGizcoYhIT
"Verna t-told us that w-we would have s-some breakfast.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCpbGDotLo
"Of course. You've come here quite early, so I'm sure you four are starving."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86E5UWTUoL
"Yeah..." Catherine agreed, lightly holding her stomach.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Mt50afp1h
"I thought so. I've prepared something, so don't worry."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy8yhxgapb
Chrono brandishes a golden door, which he promptly throws open and reveals some nice breakfast meals, already plated and ready to eat.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwfWu9OftN
"You m-made all of this yourself?!" Catherine exclaimed, impressed.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNquXKS9fp9
"I was just planning on making food for myself, but I didn't want to be rude.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3l58DFeYg
"It does look rather...delectable..." Nathaniel says, clearing his throat.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLulqKILmJ
"Well, shall we eat or watch it get cold?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwp1XfURWw
The four Prodigies and the Son of Time all sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast, basically wolfing down the entire plate before them.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTIoEhGmlZ
"Man, that was good..." Arsenio says, stretching in his seat.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDEVCigQy1
"I'm glad you enjoyed. It's very difficult to find people who enjoy similar interests to me."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJKDdpSCEf
"Now what? Do you just read books and whatnot?" Catherine asked, taking the last sip of her drink.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfnuWz4EbZ
"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.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsr0ZXkrjD
"Then why not join us? From what we've experienced, we certainly need the help." Arsenio asks, leaned back in his chair.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBZZtH5u1S
"I was never suited for things like that, unfortunately..." Chrono sighs. "My Gift is also a little...hard to control."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUZOnS18w5
"...Can we see it?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ocedFz8j2
Chrono begins to rub his arms as guilt and embarrassment threw itself on his face.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttxiE0J4Xq
"You can say no, you know..." Catherine speaks. "No one's forcing you."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Owvce3REM
"It's...complicated."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxeUvWSNiX
"That's u-understandable...I have a Gift I can't quite c-control myself..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfOnCjvNyG
Dawlly immediately pops itself out of Isabelle's pocket with an annoyed look.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLDDAXw99V
"I-It's true..." she looks at Dawlly with the same annoyed look.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqmHxOUNIZ
"Interesting.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6k7C5i1ii
"Is there anything else you like to do other than read and fantasize?" Catherine asks.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbabFXUYSz
"I like to learn more about my Gift."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIjJpEl5pk
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2rFre9XQa
"O-oh my.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI10je3xDnJ
"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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuQVi01M49
"So, what's your Gift? I'm sure you four have gotten one.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooQjIjOsQ5
Catherine nudges Nathaniel. "You show yours first. You're the supposed leader."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNStRWvU4gx
"I have never said that I was a leader..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQSSHvf8yp
"W-Well..." Isabelle added. "You d-do know the most out of all of us..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1V903nDZJC
"...Fine.." Nathaniel reluctantly agrees.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aq8CechwJ
First, his arm, then up to his shoulder, until his entire body was covered in armor.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiE3hczyx5
"You never told me you could do that.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EKJVt6S57
"I feel as if there is... no need to use the full Gift. It is...uncomfortable.." He speaks from within the suit.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKkW6O37dS
"Well, get the hell out of it then..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv9OlKdhtH
He removes himself from the armor, reverting back to his velvet clothes.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9ZJmTvYS1
"Well, since thou wants to assume roles, maybe thou would like to go next, co-leader?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKlmGyf079
"Of course you pin this crap on me.." Catherine growled. "But sure, why not?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSkcuRTfk2
She slips through her chair, and all the way through the floor.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWe0hQ9c0g
It was like she was in her own dimension, her escape from reality. She swam around as she heard the others from above.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0RjSu6fo7
That's when she heard a voice calling her name from the distance.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT38php29tk
"Hello?" The voice creepily whispered.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2E3GPBdNM
"The hell?" She exclaimed. That freaked her out enough to pull herself out of the Phasing dimension.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbgzX3pP4v
She gasped, as if she was underwater when she crawled out.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YneclMydr
"You alright? You've been in the floor for quite a while..." Arsenio mentioned.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepLerIY1Bs
"...Yeah, something just... freaked me out.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOPtANCm0g
She slides back in her seat...
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswFWplBXAh
"I-I'll go next..." Isabelle announces. Within seconds, the threads began pulling themselves out of her sleeves.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpX4nmbgKrY
"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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfEdn1xVvH
"I just had to wake up today! Is it wrong to get some sleep around here?!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkeSZ1n1ao
Dawlly smiles innocently as Isabelle continues to roar.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cKORAGCHP
"Don't worry, I've got this.." Arsenio stands up. "Trust me, my charm is irresistible."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz0kuPI9NV
He grabs her wrists, looks her deep into her eyes..
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxVcDnLnUX
"Ah, great..." Catherine grumbled, rolling her eyes.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCpUZFJoSN
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that you look adorable when you're angry?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG8hRwwIwz
Isabelle, easily flustered and caught off guard, immediately snaps back to her timid self.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3gPlh81vc
"See?" He points out. "It's like a secret perk I have." He starts throwing up two pieces of jewelry.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqsWMlwogI
Isabelle immediately feels her ears.
"M-my earrings!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1tTHOVnqc
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."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nxzvsqUBM
Isabelle just kept turning red as she puts back on her earrings.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY61ptSYJ2
"So, you yourself do not have a Gift just yet, Arsenio?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGOTq1aIIJ
"I haven't really felt anything, so no...I think."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMLlMsSAWS
Outside, bells begin to ring. Chrono looks up at the clock sitting across the room from him on the wall.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf448aemSil
"Ah...only an hour left..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1weoQFs0BL
"Is there anything else thou wants to say to us before thou becomes Father Time?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE7oklBwPP
"Use your Gift well, and I hope we get to see each other more in the future."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuShKJc7uxc
Chrono smiles genuinely.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1iiljFGsv
"So, what now?" Arsenio says, picking his teeth.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBGQMo91dr
"Well, if you four are attending the ceremony, you'll have to be properly dressed."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TS2wnnMI8
"Well, Verna could've told us that earlier.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc8Wrx92Vi
"Don't worry, we have a public closet full of gowns and suits for you to wear."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtX3dWCgjs
Chrono stands up, leads them upstairs and pulls open a closet door.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3Se9YB0Wq
There were attire in every color of the rainbow.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjeVIEJE52
"Hey, now this is nice!" Catherine says, walking into the spacious closet.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZr1x6qEfP
"Don't be afraid to pick whatever you want!" Chrono says, leaving.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bhZ4Fo4ic
Trying to decide what attire to wear, the Prodigies pick the most extravagant and dazzling outfit that fit them the most.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGvndKVCVZ
The four take turns putting on their new clothes, which gleamed and twinkled in the light. Once the four return to the closet.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw5wNVWYe9
"Looking nice girls.." Arsenio says.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2NzoALmfk
"These shoes are gonna kill me later, but yeah, thanks.."
Catherine complained.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VqGfXS3Z3
"Now that that portion has been completed.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03ATcDLr1L
Nathaniel grabs Arsenio by the shoulder.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrHMbt7H2M
"Arsenio. Thou shall come with me."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fkVEcsJgr
He drags him away.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnVEAslEbu
"Hey uh, Nathaniel, what are you trying to do?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSyenp4L0m
"We must fix this hair of thine.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeAIetXSeX
"Wait...Nate no, my hair is fine-"
Nathaniel pulls Arsenio outside.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVyZkjmlJR
"Well, it w-wouldn't be too wrong to d-do the same, would it?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd41qmTIWcl
"No, we can take turns doing each other's hair. That seems hella fun!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPiySsU21M
"O-okay!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43sBwD42UJ
Isabelle finds some combs, brushes, and hair accessories.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFwP9fdTJM
"N-now, what kind of hairstyle would you want?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDs0BAqzzV
"Something simple, I guess. Not trying to impress anyone.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQzAiNZWns
Isabelle gets to unbraiding Catherine's hair, carefully and gracefully taking it apart. In the middle of brushing however, Isabelle stops.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNaOR8RmmA
"Uhm...Catherine?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BXqA1R6Gt
"Yeah?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEspmKMP05s
"There's a m-mark or something...on your neck.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOY72ejldl
"Huh? What does it look like?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDORHe63aqs
"It l-looks like something scratched you... you didn't g-get attacked b-by anything, did you?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq9VjrhxIO
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.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLeK1MsjdM
"D-Do you have any allergies?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSHfz8ODkp
"I'm not supposed to."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7agmVdCZl
"...Oh my.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSBpr6OB9M
"I'm not too worried about it... it'll clear up soon..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5ge1AJ16P
"...If you say so.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cCz0ijqyS
Isabelle continues to brush and straighten Catherine's hair. Before she knew it, Isabelle was already putting a flower pin neatly upon her head.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDEEfSI6PE
Isabelle puts a mirror in front of her face. "T-Tada!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1MnubPGIb
"Oh damn. That's actually really good."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxDKq1I3Hn
"T-thank you.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgVEVyXMYV
They switch positions, with Catherine sitting behind Isabelle to do her hair.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf5J63xHNC
"Is there anything specific you want to get?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg4xKmc1Pr
"U-Uhm.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks0fkYGz7D
"Oh wait, I actually learned how to do this one hairstyle, French roll or something like that?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybNIHwx0H7
"Okay, that one t-then.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloiYfrphE9
"Alright."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUxDCmsmt0
Catherine gathers all of Isabelle's hair, pulling it together, wrapping it around itself, until it looks like the hairstyle.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwDqWc8Y1M
"Crap, I don't have any hair pins.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLQXPNG3z2
"D-don't worry, I have a backup.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKprBuh3CgK
With her Gift, Isabelle sews the updo together until it fits securely, then places her own pin into her head.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDhvxcOhTN
"...That works too.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5ki4J1eEr
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW9v8QQDZ4
"I still don't get why you did this, it was fine as it is.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrLGQketv7
"Trust me, thou would rather look like this."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oUSb65yjf
"I see the boys didn't have a good time picking out hairstyles." Catherine taunted.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1j1gy0chq
"T-They do seem to be in a debate.." Isabelle added.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdaJFZhOiL
"It's gonna take forever to put my hair back now.." Arsenio protested.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTT5EMgE2t
"Let's not w-worry about that... we're supposed t-to have fun.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4Sg4feE9Z
"Yeah, I guess that's true..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptq2rUUScf
There was thirty more minutes left. Still plenty of time to waste. Chrono comes back to check on them.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ2LvqdpHC
"Ah, looking exquisite Prodigies!" Chrono praises them. "I'm sure you'll be the best looking ones out there!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1HmHadsND
"Eh, I doubt it, but I feel a lot prettier in this poofy thing.." Catherine flutters the ends of her dress.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8LzoPZcN1
"Ah, don't be so modest, you look great!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PwIqe1wym
"Well, we still have lots of time. What should we do until then?" Arsenio asks.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDp3Ot4Mm1
"Why wait?" Chrono asks. "I can manipulate time at will. I'll just skip time a few minutes.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq7FvopIbm
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJgxkWhPqc
"...That was...strange."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNh4Z7ISWP7
"Let's go. The ceremony's about to start."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTZcCvYhtQ
Catherine pushes Chrono out of the door. "We're right behind you, don't worry."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhXvWba9d4
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurlZ095vzN
The crowd begins to applaud as Verna appears behind Chrono. She clears her throat.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDbGMy16ol
"Welcome everyone, to Chrono's coronation. It's been a while since we've had one of these, huh?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKzUdGBJRl
The crowd erupted into light laughter.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXsptEjvzr
"Anyways," she continued. "let's get to the best part."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UMHKcqFcB
She turns Chrono around, hold his hands gently.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbXWrHGDCw
"Do you solemnly swear, as long as you live, that you will fairly rule over the Time Realm?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDH21tkP3C
Chrono silently nods.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIpOuAr0BO
Verna releases his hands, opens her own, and in them, appears an extravagant crown which seemed to glow in the light.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYzdWrpHIo
"Well then," she places it upon his head. "..you are now Father Time."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1183qFOasf
Everyone explodes into cheers. The Prodigies couldn't help but clap along.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3UvCur2zD
"Now, let us commence. Grab a partner, for the party is about to begin!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiouQXCRdiQ
Groups begin to pull apart into parties of two, music begins to fade in.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNoW6fc1xj
Catherine feels fluttery from the tension.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ2EdipiTr
"...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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eHThCBiHO
"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."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lVeotIkU8
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWUg3BJXLq
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HFDX23ieH
"Does thou plan to do this at every party?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx4mFhvsq2
Catherine finds the source of the tension. She knew Nathaniel was standing behind her the entire time. Without looking back, she responds.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOezDxo4vGZ
"I don't have anything else to do. Why'd you follow me anyway?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1Om6L8eD6
"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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQov2ttvkr
"Nate, you dumbass..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH5e7iiL8H
"Hm?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKRpwnRl5V
"You have jam and crap all over your face.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwRV4SZVmw
She pulls a napkin, and is just about to hand it to him, when a voice yells in pain, quieting the party to silence.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFDi3dkNlm
"...What's going on?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDBN05UCHS
"I am not sure."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tLjrI8Cte
"...Boost me."

"What?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeihI1IgkVK
Catherine struggles to climb up Nathaniel. Once she reaches his shoulders, her eyes catch something unexpected.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sUxviKA4Z
"It's...Chrono.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QTyv2Jk3k
The two push participants out of the way.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1J7YHO5yS
"I was worried about his hands and..." a girl whispered towards them.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEfXKYFIF1
"Don't worry, we've got this."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerdqJA6E3n
It seems like his Gift was finally coming into play.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv9ceyksf9
"Chrono...are you alright?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP17cfmHykv
Chrono grabs the edge of Catherine's dress to pull himself up.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpqiuJvSO1
"I'm fine, really! My Gift just... activated all on it's own.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8prIooqgfY
As he stands up, everyone could see his Gift's true form. His face was plated halfway with gold, just as his arms were.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZepJuJMXh
"But seriously, I'm fine!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR90ipFnk6
More of his face became jagged.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaYB5aYJzq
"... Let's go. Nate, you get Arsenio and Isabelle."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBMbxfHnel
Catherine pulled Chrono away from the party, taking him back the House of Father Time.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P3Wgsekys
"Okay, Chrono...what happened?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGX7J1UDOV
"I-I think the stress...plus the demonstration from this morning..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt86kYN5le
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzpiTPwj4R
"C-Chrono? Are you okay?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX0Tn6mQR1
"I-I am f-fine, Prodigies...this is just what happens...It's a little painful, though..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggNVXCkQ43
More barbs rip around his body, horns even start to curve from his head.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡir56ivazqN
"O-Oh goodness.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomlmZoB8IM
"I just have to...fight it. I can't hurt anyone if..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5B2bk3f6E
His breathing gets heavier than stones.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWobkm3HkpJ
"Is there anyone we can get for help?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6DYM4YzHI
"You don't need to bring anyone. Just...leave before it.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDesRJaZqZ
Without thinking, Chrono threw a glass from a table right beside him.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBVjhRPjAk
"Okay okay! Let's calm down.." Arsenio says, recovering from dodging.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HUMv4B8wW
"I-I can't! It's going to..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhwfAnPzas
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSknYPyiBOf
Catherine simply used Phasing to break her fall, diving into the floor.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r08vdxUFk
The voice from before called again. "There she is again!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85l8wmqMUC
"...Who the hell are you? What do you want?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3P8R8AUXM
She saw a stripe of bright cyan wave past her. Catherine tried desperately to find where the line went.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWY6BqS57O1
"...Behind you.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEmH3lJT8e
Catherine turned around to see the menacing face of a dragon staring back at her. She was about to take a breath to scream.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55EEQq8IcC
"Hey, don't scream. I just want to know how you got here."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD4avd4gZX
Catherine confusingly looks.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8VqMYoaji
"This is my Gift...I can phase through crap like it's water. I broke my fall from a building.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYauHP8o0fm
"Oh, you must be the person I marked yesterday. Makes sense, I guess.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXRO7KPBIL
"M-Marked?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pgzWOMmti
"That itch you could never satisfy." It points towards Catherine's neck.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hxN5B98su
"...Wait, that was you?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoEHKAhL5Y
The serpent playfully clears it's throat before bellowing menacingly.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Acr9ewVzs
"Allow me to become you, and I shall spare your life!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8lAZDl3fS
"...Do I get other abilities other than falling through stuff?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy82q1ReHXY
The dragon shrugs. "I think so?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1m6IhAOiw
"Great. Come on then."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc4w83TEKy
It phases through Catherine, unlocking a surge of energy and power within her.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItrMMNJb00
Catherine climbs out of the dimension as the others were looking for her.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagmJG07iEn
"Sorry if I scared you guys.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfPgfWwSfP
"Catherine! Y-you're okay!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cbrzUHezM
"Yeah, I just got a new friend."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzpAAV09hN
The dragon only appeared as a ghost coiled around her body.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJmmZzXYp8
"And her name is?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyB3WsUuOz
"Not sure.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsFXD34ecI
Like a ghost, the dragon swapped her soul with Catherine's.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplglQ3kvFT
"Piravit. My name is Piravit, the Spiritual Dragon of Phasing. I have chosen Catherine here as my host..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrKrjQKVdg
"Thou is...possessing her.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VkQSEDYzx
"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."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbzpb31i1w
"Cool. Now...about him.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbSpP12dKt
Arsenio points at the shattered window that Catherine fell out of.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pJMD28UnQ
Chrono's roar echoed throughout the realm as he perched on the window.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ983AksZNna
"Oi! You have some explaining to do!"
Catherine says as she takes back control of her body.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSFLinEUT7
"...Catherine, that's the Time Beast!"
Piravit says as a echoing voice inside her head.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2k0BeTndc9
"Eh? That's Chrono, that's just his Gift."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCdgTtDTSS
"Like you, he's been marked. If he sees me with you, he'll kill us both!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbJT0MurWN
As on cue, Chrono jumps down right in front of Catherine, as if analyzing her. Then with angry aura, throws her again.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ3UBRFiSe
Catherine hits the ground, tumbling.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X8IhKdK2r
She struggles to pick herself up, as Chrono runs towards her.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy5aaY5j7C
"What the hell did you do for him to get pissed off?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3XGVYr84A
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.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3nnbebJqT
"You have gotta be kidding me!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHbSWfHsPq
"But don't worry! I'm sure if we beat him, he'll come to his senses!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnTfiWQyeR
Chrono pulls a punch towards them, only to be stopped by Isabelle's thread.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMchmumW5i
"C-Chrono! You h-have to come t-to your senses!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT93wDN2Kj
"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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEIiwrQyU1
"I-I'm sorry...I can't k-keep him still..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgxQ2GFzMp
"It's alright! You've spared me some time!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy5YhI3HD2
"Let me take over!" Piravit immediately pulls Catherine out, becoming the one in control.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjbsLEreJZ
As soon as Chrono began a barrage of punches, Piravit pulls away, but was able to only dodge a few before tanking them.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3QDqp4jEq
"He's way too fast! I can't get a hit on him!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgk5O6XagA
As Chrono kept punching her in the chest, Piravit, in Catherine's body, was thinking of ideas, pondering as hard as her breathing.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZFoD0j8fz
Piravit begins to punch rapidly in response, until the two stop.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtmyR4sC78
"I have to say..." Piravit states tauntingly. " You've given me quite the workout since I left my dimension-"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrqGXQFkpN
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9ZaBGold7
"So, p-playing dirty are we?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlP7b3mrQf
Chrono responds with an angry, but silent, glare.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCHQfRMShp
"Great, I like games without rules..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfkfjEJYNX
Piravit phases back into the floor. When they return to the Phasing Dimension, the two separate.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtzliqd05S
"Okay, so new plan..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzPWwbIFY2
Catherine coughs as she feels the after effects of earlier.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98kjiC0IPn
"You better think of something and fast..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHA3n6joZYb
"There's one last thing we can do, but you have to follow a specific set of rules and-"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTKEuxVkli
"Nevermind... I'll figure something out.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ypqe7Dj4h
Catherine jumps from the dimension and behind Chrono, where she sneakily kicks him.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtnK5poa90
Piravit follows shortly behind her.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKc8fo1Wff
She kneels down towards Chrono.
"Well? Are you having fun yet? Not fun being attacked without noticing, huh?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBM7cwMyceW
Chrono swipes at Catherine's arm, barely cutting her.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv4j7Z84Oz
"...Nah. Didn't think so.." she says, standing up. "Didn't know you'd get this bad.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OZaDw5V1w
She picks him up. "Come on. Let's finish this so you can go back to normal at least. I have things to do.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wkoyIxDAl
Catherine stands in a fighting position.
"I'll only use my power alone."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T3YKWz8wJ
"Then allow me to join you." Arsenio says, standing beside her.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0kIAwMp3D
"What are you gonna do, flirt him to death?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZ7QlHDVSY
"I actually had something else in mind.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOmybGxAw9
Arsenio was finally able to conjure a Gift, as an arm cannon faded to fit on top of his hand.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzZHk6CE5M
"I wanted to test this thing, you know?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkBumBEgKk
"...Whatever."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWVFDncRUD
"Come forward..." Chrono says menacingly.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeomTiAEMW
"Whatever you say, your Majesty."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1uiUtiLjx
As the two-on-one began, more of the participants of the ceremony began to watch from a distance.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKG8ldrSJf
"Seems like we've made quite an audience.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUx43CzX9qZ
"Let's make this the best coronation the Time Realm has ever seen.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm4wWfFZxm
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsDRuL9wDo
With a sharp yell, time itself began to slow.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLS1BsNu53
"Damnit! We're stuck until.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzYhxjpYi1
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpAoPjGJy4
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCs5VvkFAi
"...I don't think we're gonna make it if he keeps stopping time like that.." She says, spitting up blood and standing up.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6bQ8F7DYO
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgMMJXPYOh
Catherine jumps up.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbIkhWO3au
"You're welcome!" Arsenio says from afar.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLXZFI18wK
"Thanks! Keep looking for openings!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WKniK49Is
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7608tlFqP1
"A-alright...you've proven your worth.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb30fvQ5sV0
"Is this Chrono we're speaking to?" Arsenio asks as his Gift charges up once again and picks Catherine up.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOJy1x2JNG
"I-I'm not sure.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTH2EcDTuU
"Make sure you're sure. I'd hate to hit you with this thing for no reason."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8Dn0szSaS
"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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnG48V80E6
Chrono shakes his head. "N-nevermind! Let us continue with the celebration, yes?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDv6DcIFrx
"To be honest, I'm worn out..."
Catherine huffed. "You're like...crazy strong."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ992ob9bnV8
"I-I'll make it up to you, I swear!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosCcnvWJm3
Piravit peeks from the floor. "Can I come out now?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9VB46Dmks
"Depends.." Chrono says. "Are you willing to take your side of the deal?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6MPklJuKK
"Eep!" Piravit says, coiling itself around Catherine and hiding behind her. "A-Ah! My part of the deal...?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz4g9hlPwK
"You shall give me full entry to your dimension. That was your promise to me."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2QKUgsgPl
"...Fine. But you can't keep using Chrono as a vessel for your battles."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXcE2UViil
Chrono stares for a second, before hitting the ground, parts of his golden shell chipping off.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDUB30sA4z
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvnKX15nsg
"He's suppressed his power...I think."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76Nb3d4HMX
"Wait, they have a gender?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwZELP60zO
"Yeah..." Piravit answered. "It is quite obvious that I'm female. No whiskers, see?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sYXhxUWqa
"I guess.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3uOyOfJyN
"Catherine! Arsenio!" Isabelle says, stumbling her own feet. "A-Are you two alright?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5S2YNuUqG6
"I'm good. Not sure about Catherine though."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq891Zovv4X
"Nah, I'll be alright. I don't think he broke anything."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgUTBBzpC6
Nathaniel also approaches them with another tart in hand.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6toWbTbxLs
"Nate! You just had one of those things!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ncYzzhvnR
"I must try every single flavor." He says taking another giant bite.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPaqYn6aLn
"..M-Maybe we should g-go.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg25iIO1oH
"Are you sure? We can just...continue the party as normal.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbjOJC6HNX
Arsenio shrugs. "Seems like a plan to me."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bUMaDHNcv
Slowly, the music begins to play. Partners begin to group together. It was like the party was uninterrupted the entire time.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo5N5Gqzds
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.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkueP2TFftd
After the party, the Prodigies carried Chrono back into the House of Father Time.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTMT2ukwpw
"Thank you, you four. Hopefully I can get around with solving some of your Timebreaker problems sometime!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExiNO3PYLE
"We'd greatly appreciate it. We don't know how strong the next one'll be."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bXn4xRLrE
Chrono waves them away as they go back to the Sanctuary. Ezra was already asleep when they returned, wrapped up in a blanket.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvPNYl0nlF
"Well, we should get some rest too."
Catherine announced.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHqexWdtA5
"Way ahead of you." Arsenio says, dropping into the bed.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWwPDaEiVj
Everyone puts themselves to bed for the night, and the Prodigies fall asleep.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehULGvG6lT
Silently, in the middle of the night, someone's Tempural Energy swarmed the room...
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYzJx9CuaN
