While we began circling one another, Mom set up a barrier to keep the others safe from the after effects of the attacks.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYXiCP9BIn
Ecluna, with her Ecliptic energy, makes herself a weapon, before dashing towards me.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOYxcJj8Dd
With my spear, I managed to block the first attack, before dodging another. Ecluna continues to giggle as she continues to attack. Finally, I landed a stunning blow on Ecluna. I could feel the Eclipse grow weaker.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPoH8wI5Ks
I glance towards Arelin, Jake and the others. I felt a warm feeling when I saw the turned become more normal.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZLKAWpCW3
Ecluna suddenly throws herself onto me, landing blow after blow right into my stomach.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBo5zV8OsjS
I feel the pain burn within my entire body as her attacks grow stronger.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjj3WatbGg
Pushing her away, I return with my own barrage of attacks. I painfully get up with steady legs, but I just couldn't help but to make sure the others were okay.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqOmYoXa0b
"Iris, don't tell me you're holding back to make sure your friends are okay..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktZgl5YzWq
Despite her large decrease in power, Ecluna's grip around my throat was tight.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvGUSicl6Z
"What's the matter? Have you already given up on fighting back?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lwhOoBIlw
"T-That's e-enough.. Ecluna.." Arelin says through clenched teeth.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeNwMnvF9W
"Hmm? Did you say something Arelin?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZQZkw39mE
She floats closer towards him.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OQQFe7nH2
"D-don't...hurt her.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGxoeOcBPF
"...Jeez, I'll need to be quick if I wanna keep you."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOfO12K1dp
Then, she turns back to me.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a1j0zgjDX
"Hopefully I can kill you before he changes back.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpyvk21w5T
She charges up another magic to attack me with, but I didn't move, because I was trying to help Arelin snap out of it.
Arelin was switching back and forth through forms, as if..this nightmare was finally coming to an end.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUdafNRssj
The last sliver of the Eclipse had to be charged up in it's final form.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF9UvBqzTL
"Consider this a final message. If I can't kill you..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXSEcS1OHV
She immediately points the attack towards the others.
"Then I'll just kill them, and kill you from the inside!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp65ClrkhB2
The attack fired, the maroon beam of Eclipsian magic tearing straight into the area where they were.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjedamTyed6
Ecluna didn't change her expression, her eyes never moved off of the area until the dust clouds cleared.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdG8YjVhy9
...A familiar, ancient aura became apparent.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVN9u4x8QW
When I looked behind me, I noticed someone was standing next to Mom while she held a pendant in the air.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC4pqoIGJ5
"...Iset. It has been too long..." she says under her breath.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SiBwqHUp1
"Now is not the time for salutations. You have summoned me to aid you in battle..."
The woman returns, hovering only slightly off of the ground.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamErRC7tc1
They were safe, luckily, the barrier that shielded them had barely a scratch.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsrTvcCG6l
"Do not fret, Iris. She is weakened enough to where she can be subdued."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6fc2kTq0L
"Subdue me? When she's barely touched me?"
Ecluna taunts again. "If you want her to die so bad, I'll always make it quick.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE5lQUejGK
A scythe appears in her hand, as she brandishes it towards the bright red sky.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbL3auLIRs
Slowly, I can feel my own form become more distant. Had my power begun to run out too?
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLjTrquHCN
I put up my own weapon, but suddenly I dropped it, and shook my head.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf0kbDhEb2
"Again...your funeral.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW0UGMZDm5
Ecluna dashes straight for my chest, but once again, someone saves me.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosXbRFs5Cg
"...Rest now. You've done your task, Araginee."
Ciaran calmly says, cradling me. I let my true Darken form disappear. A great weight had been lifted from my chest as I grew tired.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TVko1Xqfn
However, that sense of tranquility was short lived, as suddenly Ciaran was shot out of the air with a sudden beam of energy.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMq2WiXBsSX
"Of course you try to take my kill away from me, Ciaran!"
Ecluna says angrily.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJce5CUZg3
"I cherish her enough to put myself in danger."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM1GIcl310
"...Okay then, one last deal..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzdPYJXwZQ
Ciaran preciously plants another kiss upon my head and handing me to a confused Arelin, and by this point, I had already started to close my eyes.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQHoBqfdHm
"I-Iris...you have to stay awake."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU14TCJs9o
I open my eyes again. "Why?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPd28gM1rW
He stops to think for a moment.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnC0UzXEEP
"I'm n-not sure why but... just stay awake... it's b-better if you stay awake.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKSvTYfvhb
I nod. "Alright... I'll try.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTQpS7kmq9
I listen to the conversation between Ciaran and Ecluna.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBQmyFcTN8
"Well, what is this deal of yours?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELqaqccGYU
"Easy. Iris' safety in return of you."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhASUCmwz2
"You want to kill me in return for Iris' life? I am usually not very greedy, but I have a lot to live for.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzZFzu4uhc
"No no, I meant..." Ecluna pulls another transforming orb. "I get to keep you."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpXVtqNazc
"...That is something...interesting.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMK4eI9sBc
"So, deal or no deal?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WvO80aneQ
Ciaran steps forward and removes his cape.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU3n2LFgDd
"I will accept. Only if Arelin and Jake are released from your grasp.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNro9vym78N
"Less fun, but a deal's a deal.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtULwI7Wk3
Ecluna calls on the powers of the eclipse, as Arelin and Jake dropped to the ground, but their appearance had changed back to normal.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lUjnkIDpS
The two orbs used to transform them was brought into one, and Ecluna held it as it flared brilliantly.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6Zan0g61G
"This is where I will say farewell for now."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Rm0hiUhvs
Ecluna pushes the orb into his chest. I almost felt like puking as Ciaran's eyes began to blur. The transformation began to happen again..
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxjZoxxuCx
Ciaran stood up, examining himself.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL3b8tvhao
"Isn't that a little better?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2F7jY6GTW
"It is...exhilarating."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvFbtvQLJ3
"Good good. How about we give that power a little test run, shall we?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7MsGHnKqp
"With pleasure..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOheEoI2zip
Ciaran direction went straight to me. With no more of my energy readily available, I let him pull me from the ground with both of my wrists in his hands. He leans closer to my face and then...
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LWSm8p500
He starts to laugh. His laughing becomes so hysterical, I almost couldn't help but laugh with him. But... what was so funny?
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2asR2jjI3
"Ecluna, Ecluna, Ecluna...you poor soul. It seems you have misunderstood..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibow8yEqcX
He lets me go, turning back into his original form.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jvcBXEccM
"I have no bloodline. I made out of the essence of darkness itself. I cannot be Eclipsian by any means.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv1s7Vcyjj
"...Well, I guess that's it then..."
She shrugs. "I have no more power to throw at you.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUb1Opn7Gf
The eclipse disappears from the sky, leaving dawn in it's place. Ecluna returns back to normal, with the small change of red tips at the ends of Ecluna's hair. Ecluna blinks, as if everything that has happened... disappeared from her mind without a trace.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs0sCYGj5G
"W-what happened?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYoaKKu7Uw
"...Take a look for yourself." Jake says, dusting himself off.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XmVz8KCID
Ecluna looks around. "D-did I do this?! What did I-..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE1aLqPWvr
The injuries she has sustained during the battle came as she started to cough up large amounts of blood. I was so worried about her, I had forgotten about my own blood running down my face.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz34zpCCWZv
I stumbled towards her.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa2K8naLnT
"Iris, stop! D-don't hurt yourself more!"
She cried.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4FDFkUp8P
"I have to make sure you're okay too.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc29WwWkcHm
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine-..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTPPku0sNV
More blood spills from her mouth. "I'm okay, just...stay where you are.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQIPgIz6PT
"We have to get both of you to a hospital."
Arelin states. "The severity of your injuries could be fatal if they aren't treated."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyrksnFryR
Arelin scoops Ecluna from the ground, while Ciaran does the same for me. That was the last thing I remember before finally giving into my tiredness.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPU6hoVqiU
***
I see everyone else staring back at me. I was back at home, snuggled under my quilt on my bed.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIc95MxNnQ
"Hello everyone..." I croak.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNEW933RNp
Everyone lets out a sigh of relief.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DZRONLoSr
"Thank goodness you're alright." My mom says.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAXjVM3R0f
"...How long has it been?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj06qXctZuW
Jake gives my head a pat.
"A good four days. Ms. Ikura patched you up pretty good though..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrbpVMsxe9
I jump up, only to be met with discomfort and dizziness. I had to stumble back into a sitting position.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS58YIpfRNz
"...Is Ecluna okay?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWt9GQYHBmE
"She's disappeared, we have no idea where she could've gone..." Soluna says somberly.
"She was asleep at one point, and then the next...she wasn't there..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIDYeuQJZZ
Mom rubs her shoulder, comforting her.
"We've sent your father and uncle to find her, Iris. The best thing you can do is rest.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPJTFYq198
"And you better rest too.." Aluise added.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVLRoUYqIM
I nod. "Okay.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4jp3Cgu9Z
I begin to shuffle back into bed, resting my head against the frame.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsgf1jQgnX
"You're heading back to bed?" Jake says, sitting back in a chair.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZVdRcEhLf
I nod my head again.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbM2hTm4kM
"You're not even gonna eat first?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaQ8emYQCu
"I am...a little hungry..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr1iLYPlPH
"I think Arelin is making something..said he was waiting for you to wake up."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE8TSKmGDy
"Could you call him here for a minute then?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YgggAde5r
"... Alright." he gets back up from the chair with a slight limp and leaves. In a few seconds, Arelin was in the doorframe.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0nsVUBeAA
"...I'm sorry if I distracted you.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9bqz8H1yR
"It's fine. It's just about done right now."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ify3yfmK7
"Ah, alright then.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjT6LuXGiY
"...Ciaran was asleep behind you earlier, but I'm not sure where he could've went.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgqqQUsp7F
I pull back the quilt again, where Ciaran was sleeping comfortably underneath.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVa4whWbhi
"I found him.." I say, pulling him towards me.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZTYFXW2P0
Ciaran wakes up when I do this, but promptly shuffles even closer.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyGDDCR8TL
"This is the calmest I've ever seen him..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2lINfyrGR
"...I'll be right back. You must be hungry..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1Q9eOZvA1
"I'm starving! Bring back something really good okay?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JRQ4ooNvH
A smirk appears on his face.
"Alright.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUE05MW73O
As soon as he leaves, Ciaran wakes up.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn4Vu5HJm6
"You are...awake..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZ7AN6mlsz
"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I just needed to rest a bit.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYz7kxy85n
Arelin comes back with a steaming plate.
"It's not much, but it should be enough with some bread.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUgWgLnfX6
He places the plate in front of me, before sitting on the bed beside me. I slowly pick up the fork and start eating.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBGRiJiTtB
Afterwards, the sleepiness started to come back. I yawned as my body starts to slide underneath the quilt more and more.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zqPqDxfUl
"You're going back to sleep?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuH1K0zPJqd
"Mhm...I want to be up bright and early tomorrow."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRaU0dkAA3
Arelin gets up, taking the empty dish from my almost unresponsive hands.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU8uL2Ye9t
"I will...check on you in the morning then.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMmwTUSTEU
He turns off the lights and shuts the door. I slowly closed my eyes, and I drifted off to sleep.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdGRgTiIB0
The next morning, I felt refreshed. Getting up from bed, I stretch and walk to my mirror.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97jjDgPe1V
A sudden weight almost pulled me off my feet. As I struggled to stand up, I look at the mirror to see...
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL8aKy6O6p
"Good morning, Araginee..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oF1r1BegR
"Ciaran!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPZtteDDOO
Ciaran held onto my shoulders and tried his best to hold on to my back while I tried to remove him.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG2XFC5fDg
"Get off of me! You're too heavy!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWMHqWZvFu
"You seem to be holding me just fine.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHowouajl7
I sighed heavily. "I don't want to carry you around!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5pVXIB3gS
We have a wrestle for a bit. Eventually, I gave into his ways and let him stay there.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjJXSlwTY6
"How was your sleep?" he asked.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXxM0z91UC
I stumble to the hallway. "It was fine. You were taking up all the bed space though.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3WSMlv1AY
I go into the kitchen, where Uncle Damien was asleep on the couch, and Mom and Dad sitting and drinking a cup of coffee together while Arelin made breakfast.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcqAGlyL1s
"Good morning, Iris." Mom greeted, before giving Ciaran an untrusting, mean glare. "And Ciaran..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEig6wSloX
Ciaran responds. "Good morning to you too.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkeXTq1vBL
Uncle Damien woke up in an attacking stance. I couldn't help but snicker a little at his expression, but I also had to feel a little sympathetic.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLREjwq9pCQ
"Did you have a nightmare, Uncle Damien?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItN9ybalhU
Walking over to him, I give him a grin. "If you keep thinking about stressful stuff, you'll never get any sleep.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehikgC779a
He responds by tiredly turning around while mumbling and returning to sleep.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFyAnDdGWV
"That grumpy older brother of mine won't even smile a little for his only niece.."
Mom smirked and shook her head.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrUUu7mTEj
"Arelin! Iris!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEVo4GvXgx
Someone comes running into my arms, but quickly, from the long, almost midnight colored hair, I immediately knew who it was.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz5Kt2Xqth
"Hey, Alena!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOksb1Iu2X
"I came as soon as I heard. Are you feeling alright?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSAisN0Rjc
I assure her that I was feeling fine. "Yep! I'm doing really well!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS641cykONZ
"Good!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgXWPOTxOo
Alena then turns her attention to Ciaran, who I was still carrying.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUgvXOffUP
"Huh? Why is he here?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERnnKXbvWR
"He decided it was a good idea to ride around with me today..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMgqzMTGEJ
Ciaran only snickered mischievously.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5jVQAPUz5
"I sadly haven't been able to remove him yet.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJHWxE4ThH
Alena playfully flicks his nose.
"I think he's cute. He's like a little baby."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2FciXPcIv
"You compare me to a child?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mWawOHsya
"Admit it, you can't go anywhere without Iris."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6o62I7mtT
A weight was lifted from my back as Ciaran jumps off to lend Alena a stare.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0svz73HUeA
"A-Ah! He's quick to anger!"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXB61IRGO9
"Do not belittle me, Alena."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleG4FcHWdD
"Hehe, belittle." She punned. Arelin laughs as well.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2Jil5Hg1x
"Why you..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYOa9cEkGV
Before Ciaran could get a hold of her neck, I pull him back. "Alright Ciaran, no need to get all snippy."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcjPHYpMgF
He slips back behind me.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLLV98IubD
"That...girl..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqKy8jdwxY
"Don't worry, she's just messing with you."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYISTj4qcQ
"...Her presence now pesters me to no end.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfvBJ0wGmr
I sigh. "You're a lot of work, you know that?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyRh484BbT
He rests his chin on my shoulder.
"Am I?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtm1toKGiN
"...No, not really. Not anymore."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfmmgOtUNg
"Perfect. Then I will never leave your side."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf0OzPvLaW
I immediately regretted the words I said earlier, as I realized he wasn't going to let me go.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFiodnzuxV
I had to walk around with Ciaran all day, having small talk every other hour or so. Once the sky became a deep blue, I had found a comforting aura within the Darken as he slept.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5LrSOLwab
I took him to bed, and about to head there myself, when someone knocked on my room window.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsub4CNYgM
I quickly cover Ciaran up with the quilt and walk to the window. I slowly unlock and open it, where a piece of the night jumped into my room.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5STx5Ctop4
"Hey Iris..."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk66RMVlZOx
Ecluna was still wrapped up in the old bandages.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWGuoHjkii
"Ecluna?! We've been looking for you! Where have you been?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdln21A3bi
"I was only doing what I promised.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEic2rTPAiL
I lead her to the edge of the bed to sit, and rests her head on my shoulder.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPZULLX81z
"I didn't want you to leave. I just wanted my friend back. That's why I pushed as hard as I did."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYI2nEapCw
"...I understand how destructive I can be under influence of the Eclipse."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlFUUCK7HI
"As do I with my new Darken forms.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB681xzsK0d
She sadly chuckled. "...If only I had your mental strength.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EPNQ4mpjD
"...It's getting late. Do you still want to leave?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhzeto95OI
Ecluna was weighing her options. After a confusing thought, finally, she came to a conclusion.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR4j8gMUIE
"...I'll have to think about it."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz6Tn6epc2
"Then you can stay here for the night." I threw her a pillow and pointed towards the closet."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTF57Okwz2
"There's blankets and extra pillows in there. Help yourself to them."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXLnDVERDA
"Thanks again for...forgiving me.."
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhIgX7gk9s
"Of course. That's what I'm supposed to do, isn't it?"
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV03T2XXovv
She slowly pulls a blanket from the closet, making a makeshift bed. I then turned off my bedside lamp and shuffled into bed.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3o2HbtbFi
I wonder what the morning will bring.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6ze8jIfu3
