"Rise and shine, Prodigies!" Verna's peppy voice awoken the group. "Let's get ready for the coronation of Father Time today!"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NMXDZ4VqT
Catherine scratches her neck as she pushes the quilt off. "Coronation?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlrGrdr2hs
"Apparently, a new Father Time is to be crowned today." Nathaniel states, stretching.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMsv7VDeXC
"Your mission today is to just watch over the new guy before the celebration begins. Pretty easy, right?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ076XRfdUn6
"Wait...our job today is to be a goddamn babysitter?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVplokolo0z
"If that's how you view it, yes. But as a reward, you get to go to the after-party!"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKpwXS4v0O
"That at least solves dinner..." Ezra thinks aloud.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi50qISuQR9
"Breakfast will be served once you get there, so just put on your clothes and shoes and...look a little presentable.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo3mQerI6B
"No prob.." Arsenio says. "Let me just get my morning tea before I go.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8CcR8mp5M
"T-Tea?" Isabelle asks while brushing her hair.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ARvR4q4tp
"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."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcC9AAOZjX
"...Alright then..." Arsenio says, slowly sitting down and sliding his hands in his coat pockets. "I'll just wait until later then.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc3nrXen4s
"Is everyone ready?" Verna asks, peeking into the room as she does so.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthPe2KxCCg
"I think so.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0CNRPWlip
"Good, good!" she fully opens the doors to let the Prodigies out. "Then, let's go, shall we?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6XleCFyif
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy8G0BIwnd
"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."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMEW68QSUx
"...Is it because he's blonde?" Catherine remarked.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOigtFy7xTK
"... That might have had a influence on the nickname, yes."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO1Vm4ZKlq
They watched as walked stone faced across to the home of Father Time.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OT8bQVZBo
"Let's go." Verna says, instructing them to follow Chrono.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe71xA5cPEd
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrsV3JGPLM
"Hello?" Catherine waited for a response.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq60xLPCd6
"J-Just a minute!" A voice called out before crashing and falling is heard. Then, from the stairs emerged Chrono.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP7MYuoTsH
"Verna, very nice to see you again. And these four might be?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrzIduCH2L
"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."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQyNYIEL8T
"I see..."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcenxbZgEqf
"Thanks again for doing this, guys."
Verna time warps away.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HJejugiKe
"...Which one of you is which? I just don't want to be confused.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8PKQgd9Qw
They introduce themselves once again, giving him some clarity.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9kbt9d6am
"Ah, well it's nice to meet all of you."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwv0qZTGI7R
"Verna t-told us that w-we would have s-some breakfast.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTpT7ioK8I
"Of course. You've come here quite early, so I'm sure you four are starving."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7estRy5UR3
"Yeah..." Catherine agreed, lightly holding her stomach.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl2g4xd1F8
"I thought so. I've prepared something, so don't worry."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1xowokcVR
Chrono brandishes a golden door, which he promptly throws open and reveals some nice breakfast meals, already plated and ready to eat.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ALeLTBTHq
"You m-made all of this yourself?!" Catherine exclaimed, impressed.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqEypxGIW4
"I was just planning on making food for myself, but I didn't want to be rude.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSXHfPG9Qc
"It does look rather...delectable..." Nathaniel says, clearing his throat.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEg352Q2aB
"Well, shall we eat or watch it get cold?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJOGbxneSt
The four Prodigies and the Son of Time all sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast, basically wolfing down the entire plate before them.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMZc2THM6H
"Man, that was good..." Arsenio says, stretching in his seat.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuxPlGqf7F
"I'm glad you enjoyed. It's very difficult to find people who enjoy similar interests to me."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1mPxGIH1b
"Now what? Do you just read books and whatnot?" Catherine asked, taking the last sip of her drink.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZcMnDxtQN
"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.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgJnkzyt1G
"Then why not join us? From what we've experienced, we certainly need the help." Arsenio asks, leaned back in his chair.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdTGR2BQfX
"I was never suited for things like that, unfortunately..." Chrono sighs. "My Gift is also a little...hard to control."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisGtcr7BS0
"...Can we see it?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkbNKzFT3I
Chrono begins to rub his arms as guilt and embarrassment threw itself on his face.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUN6UGmp1q
"You can say no, you know..." Catherine speaks. "No one's forcing you."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO1q2rTPdI
"It's...complicated."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMdwYs23b0
"That's u-understandable...I have a Gift I can't quite c-control myself..."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NOQPseNn6
Dawlly immediately pops itself out of Isabelle's pocket with an annoyed look.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqeozrI9tK
"I-It's true..." she looks at Dawlly with the same annoyed look.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiejXTOezVf
"Interesting.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZjNSid5Tr
"Is there anything else you like to do other than read and fantasize?" Catherine asks.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDoqLiF1AJ
"I like to learn more about my Gift."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx01DL1l9O
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlPbzbrR3g
"O-oh my.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsuC3Z5ZHq
"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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhhGtMHL1r
"So, what's your Gift? I'm sure you four have gotten one.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64KZnNOIPO
Catherine nudges Nathaniel. "You show yours first. You're the supposed leader."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyfOCv1eJp
"I have never said that I was a leader..."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyPTl1p5ge
"W-Well..." Isabelle added. "You d-do know the most out of all of us..."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKpjSdnaAu
"...Fine.." Nathaniel reluctantly agrees.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4wbGPPAvD
First, his arm, then up to his shoulder, until his entire body was covered in armor.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH01TxlCse
"You never told me you could do that.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7i0EjH4OV
"I feel as if there is... no need to use the full Gift. It is...uncomfortable.." He speaks from within the suit.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNigmc4Br8Y
"Well, get the hell out of it then..."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNO2PZfrQX
He removes himself from the armor, reverting back to his velvet clothes.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yoP8TLoSp
"Well, since thou wants to assume roles, maybe thou would like to go next, co-leader?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnFhDGFGtL
"Of course you pin this crap on me.." Catherine growled. "But sure, why not?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDe2LIUmTI
She slips through her chair, and all the way through the floor.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBUz92sFOG
It was like she was in her own dimension, her escape from reality. She swam around as she heard the others from above.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUArP45OHG
That's when she heard a voice calling her name from the distance.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg71j1xGdcf
"Hello?" The voice creepily whispered.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsEX8caU3g
"The hell?" She exclaimed. That freaked her out enough to pull herself out of the Phasing dimension.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FJeiwSL9k
She gasped, as if she was underwater when she crawled out.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygHUOhDGB4
"You alright? You've been in the floor for quite a while..." Arsenio mentioned.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65vWtVkGrI
"...Yeah, something just... freaked me out.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmn4k0hUff
She slides back in her seat...
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMbVOUc5K8
"I-I'll go next..." Isabelle announces. Within seconds, the threads began pulling themselves out of her sleeves.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMFvJWe9kv
"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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX45PtsOP4a
"I just had to wake up today! Is it wrong to get some sleep around here?!"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOWYbNEgw2
Dawlly smiles innocently as Isabelle continues to roar.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpJxTt37Ul
"Don't worry, I've got this.." Arsenio stands up. "Trust me, my charm is irresistible."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2yHmkhcGV
He grabs her wrists, looks her deep into her eyes..
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX89Qb7ZcCQ
"Ah, great..." Catherine grumbled, rolling her eyes.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdlzLzjkrC
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that you look adorable when you're angry?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCIiuQkAym
Isabelle, easily flustered and caught off guard, immediately snaps back to her timid self.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFdiVRnOBk
"See?" He points out. "It's like a secret perk I have." He starts throwing up two pieces of jewelry.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAqTMaDDpI
Isabelle immediately feels her ears.
"M-my earrings!"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLo1wt7vrV
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."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKzMs4Vhhh
Isabelle just kept turning red as she puts back on her earrings.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMfp9tlRwK
"So, you yourself do not have a Gift just yet, Arsenio?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxCmYBxg93
"I haven't really felt anything, so no...I think."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0UUbaMGFN
Outside, bells begin to ring. Chrono looks up at the clock sitting across the room from him on the wall.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxUIG7J3bq
"Ah...only an hour left..."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPE9Dzn5JLE
"Is there anything else thou wants to say to us before thou becomes Father Time?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iXjNPLL1F
"Use your Gift well, and I hope we get to see each other more in the future."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVLfJeXrjJ
Chrono smiles genuinely.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kJstxGViG
"So, what now?" Arsenio says, picking his teeth.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DaRFVBQ5J
"Well, if you four are attending the ceremony, you'll have to be properly dressed."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbxMA7fzpZ
"Well, Verna could've told us that earlier.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHopOzh8sUK
"Don't worry, we have a public closet full of gowns and suits for you to wear."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZpN9kCd4L
Chrono stands up, leads them upstairs and pulls open a closet door.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ2s0m6rOH
There were attire in every color of the rainbow.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hMRgM2lAy
"Hey, now this is nice!" Catherine says, walking into the spacious closet.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgR7FONI0Z
"Don't be afraid to pick whatever you want!" Chrono says, leaving.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDEr9CqgDR
Trying to decide what attire to wear, the Prodigies pick the most extravagant and dazzling outfit that fit them the most.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN67zJmPJB
The four take turns putting on their new clothes, which gleamed and twinkled in the light. Once the four return to the closet.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pXAuhJYrJ
"Looking nice girls.." Arsenio says.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HJwoL9N8G
"These shoes are gonna kill me later, but yeah, thanks.."
Catherine complained.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEmknlhi0I
"Now that that portion has been completed.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG3aQi2Lvx
Nathaniel grabs Arsenio by the shoulder.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvmwbCz3FW
"Arsenio. Thou shall come with me."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQRVPrKoQs
He drags him away.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj3lHtbs3j
"Hey uh, Nathaniel, what are you trying to do?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiT4GfGsM7P
"We must fix this hair of thine.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVyEWcVDGq
"Wait...Nate no, my hair is fine-"
Nathaniel pulls Arsenio outside.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOiTf4YH8V
"Well, it w-wouldn't be too wrong to d-do the same, would it?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFH9I1MRsS
"No, we can take turns doing each other's hair. That seems hella fun!"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnN1ggaNY6K
"O-okay!"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtka0gq04NT
Isabelle finds some combs, brushes, and hair accessories.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ597tvBzGwe
"N-now, what kind of hairstyle would you want?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWmZrTug6P
"Something simple, I guess. Not trying to impress anyone.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwJeDFMkvh
Isabelle gets to unbraiding Catherine's hair, carefully and gracefully taking it apart. In the middle of brushing however, Isabelle stops.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0njDfyfX09
"Uhm...Catherine?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v992umhZv
"Yeah?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ckkbHbL8o
"There's a m-mark or something...on your neck.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1NKQg12sS
"Huh? What does it look like?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡensKCOMFOz
"It l-looks like something scratched you... you didn't g-get attacked b-by anything, did you?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9jcwfabGA
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.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLSfg7dRyr
"D-Do you have any allergies?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwq46Y7j9p
"I'm not supposed to."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUy6PRMeVO
"...Oh my.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEzEgAGZfg
"I'm not too worried about it... it'll clear up soon..."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nu4ysxEuS
"...If you say so.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTrsBpD0cn
Isabelle continues to brush and straighten Catherine's hair. Before she knew it, Isabelle was already putting a flower pin neatly upon her head.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89Z8Xd5k25
Isabelle puts a mirror in front of her face. "T-Tada!"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSRIE4M90G
"Oh damn. That's actually really good."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS0mATeNwO
"T-thank you.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nEKQB0j3S
They switch positions, with Catherine sitting behind Isabelle to do her hair.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5uXSgHLhe
"Is there anything specific you want to get?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgW0D30GmBT
"U-Uhm.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn0U8jbZUL
"Oh wait, I actually learned how to do this one hairstyle, French roll or something like that?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX3ByszZoH
"Okay, that one t-then.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHtgYpsUOd
"Alright."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThdEyj7i3O
Catherine gathers all of Isabelle's hair, pulling it together, wrapping it around itself, until it looks like the hairstyle.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUooekTExs3
"Crap, I don't have any hair pins.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivrmn03x2K
"D-don't worry, I have a backup.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXSy4rVruc
With her Gift, Isabelle sews the updo together until it fits securely, then places her own pin into her head.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7lODfpu3a
"...That works too.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjWypMkW5Y
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUjFsJPeEW
"I still don't get why you did this, it was fine as it is.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ew1AE91Zc
"Trust me, thou would rather look like this."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC96KJ67q5p
"I see the boys didn't have a good time picking out hairstyles." Catherine taunted.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDWLxIBpnc
"T-They do seem to be in a debate.." Isabelle added.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTmGrwwWLJ
"It's gonna take forever to put my hair back now.." Arsenio protested.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPreQT43Bi7
"Let's not w-worry about that... we're supposed t-to have fun.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ml4i8EnrB
"Yeah, I guess that's true..."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OiEN5IDcI
There was thirty more minutes left. Still plenty of time to waste. Chrono comes back to check on them.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtg1HYTANw
"Ah, looking exquisite Prodigies!" Chrono praises them. "I'm sure you'll be the best looking ones out there!"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUAgrKjEM2
"Eh, I doubt it, but I feel a lot prettier in this poofy thing.." Catherine flutters the ends of her dress.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA45dLqMNAO
"Ah, don't be so modest, you look great!"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCJu2n1PEa
"Well, we still have lots of time. What should we do until then?" Arsenio asks.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OLrhkQqd8
"Why wait?" Chrono asks. "I can manipulate time at will. I'll just skip time a few minutes.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCVPszFgT0
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZjFb5wIuH
"...That was...strange."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUvpX5lRTu
"Let's go. The ceremony's about to start."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1V9JrfDWO
Catherine pushes Chrono out of the door. "We're right behind you, don't worry."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmSWgxvWKx
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhKX3rR2nI
The crowd begins to applaud as Verna appears behind Chrono. She clears her throat.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDqCrE9YK6
"Welcome everyone, to Chrono's coronation. It's been a while since we've had one of these, huh?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMGN1n82nb
The crowd erupted into light laughter.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCQQsVmFD7
"Anyways," she continued. "let's get to the best part."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRCL7AM16h
She turns Chrono around, hold his hands gently.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuwyWTmMAn
"Do you solemnly swear, as long as you live, that you will fairly rule over the Time Realm?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuIZpBeeOc
Chrono silently nods.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpfEtMjGv3
Verna releases his hands, opens her own, and in them, appears an extravagant crown which seemed to glow in the light.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjzwoPAU7T
"Well then," she places it upon his head. "..you are now Father Time."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMyqNRLwZ9
Everyone explodes into cheers. The Prodigies couldn't help but clap along.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVEMZ6OKTZ
"Now, let us commence. Grab a partner, for the party is about to begin!"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlth8cD1e2
Groups begin to pull apart into parties of two, music begins to fade in.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt44zZcYAA
Catherine feels fluttery from the tension.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5gdK2YMzc
"...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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlr4FaBiQog
"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."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXooddZd0QR
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIgPYHjdMp
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3oQbFfeQc
"Does thou plan to do this at every party?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmBl18Rekd
Catherine finds the source of the tension. She knew Nathaniel was standing behind her the entire time. Without looking back, she responds.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWlkPmgUXT
"I don't have anything else to do. Why'd you follow me anyway?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KEKaG7rLV
"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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaF2i1C6Luk
"Nate, you dumbass..."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr93NguSq4
"Hm?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pLGaqtUKN
"You have jam and crap all over your face.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUj0tcwogx
She pulls a napkin, and is just about to hand it to him, when a voice yells in pain, quieting the party to silence.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PVpEK4kO5
"...What's going on?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKquWJAVthH
"I am not sure."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5GPmRdz8R
"...Boost me."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUx7XFcerj
"What?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiUAG3bS5n
Catherine struggles to climb up Nathaniel. Once she reaches his shoulders, her eyes catch something unexpected.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI6A4RkwEA
"It's...Chrono.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk0gDNXxNR
The two push participants out of the way.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGBpdc7JVY
"I was worried about his hands and..." a girl whispered towards them.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0s8IrgNFf
"Don't worry, we've got this."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNSEsR5C24
It seems like his Gift was finally coming into play.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOJ6McVWad
"Chrono...are you alright?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O0ROjw5o0
Chrono grabs the edge of Catherine's dress to pull himself up.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UYXntuR05
"I'm fine, really! My Gift just... activated all on it's own.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8tZH9OJj6
As he stands up, everyone could see his Gift's true form. His face was plated halfway with gold, just as his arms were.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJMQI79B5X
"But seriously, I'm fine!"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpFd2LitfQ
More of his face became jagged.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEU7ThY8rik
"... Let's go. Nate, you get Arsenio and Isabelle."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjTEAJKj6p
Catherine pulled Chrono away from the party, taking him back the House of Father Time.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuObHvKM1x
"Okay, Chrono...what happened?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGJ6G67750
"I-I think the stress...plus the demonstration from this morning..."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM5cKn3Mw5
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzmjtjhIWv
"C-Chrono? Are you okay?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2A8n1fF0X
"I-I am f-fine, Prodigies...this is just what happens...It's a little painful, though..."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PF2aSd5Su
More barbs rip around his body, horns even start to curve from his head.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWhUPgiyuM
"O-Oh goodness.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuA92PDmGk
"I just have to...fight it. I can't hurt anyone if..."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWd2gRmivj
His breathing gets heavier than stones.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWeBaR1YUH
"Is there anyone we can get for help?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE5LKhmfWC
"You don't need to bring anyone. Just...leave before it.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPsxgM69H2
Without thinking, Chrono threw a glass from a table right beside him.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6pVaL1Vzd
"Okay okay! Let's calm down.." Arsenio says, recovering from dodging.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2j6SDWTze
"I-I can't! It's going to..."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXoqcPBHYx
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lujvdO8FH
Catherine simply used Phasing to break her fall, diving into the floor.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Rda9fdM1f
The voice from before called again. "There she is again!"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWu6SjRVWW
"...Who the hell are you? What do you want?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFW8IBS93x
She saw a stripe of bright cyan wave past her. Catherine tried desperately to find where the line went.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZKcPD80D1
"...Behind you.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrqH9oPNWj
Catherine turned around to see the menacing face of a dragon staring back at her. She was about to take a breath to scream.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zmx7h7xS4
"Hey, don't scream. I just want to know how you got here."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoQ4gVeZX6
Catherine confusingly looks.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNA9HxzlA4
"This is my Gift...I can phase through crap like it's water. I broke my fall from a building.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwfKtimZKC
"Oh, you must be the person I marked yesterday. Makes sense, I guess.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1pKCn4MHm
"M-Marked?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjOuNa7Ra3
"That itch you could never satisfy." It points towards Catherine's neck.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr5RrJq3ih
"...Wait, that was you?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvGSFSQdt2
The serpent playfully clears it's throat before bellowing menacingly.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNimo0Yq5F
"Allow me to become you, and I shall spare your life!"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLKMHhcZzm
"...Do I get other abilities other than falling through stuff?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13dbrdzrLJ
The dragon shrugs. "I think so?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Oxf74LbM6
"Great. Come on then."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgC8gw7eBE
It phases through Catherine, unlocking a surge of energy and power within her.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKILgNjrtJ
Catherine climbs out of the dimension as the others were looking for her.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrxp0W4l6L
"Sorry if I scared you guys.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4V2iRs7IM
"Catherine! Y-you're okay!"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42lrWs1gAz
"Yeah, I just got a new friend."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfHzeNtGYg
The dragon only appeared as a ghost coiled around her body.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMR3uIC1g8
"And her name is?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDf3kpKEr0
"Not sure.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJagXyjycgl
Like a ghost, the dragon swapped her soul with Catherine's.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFQVtzZ7En
"Piravit. My name is Piravit, the Spiritual Dragon of Phasing. I have chosen Catherine here as my host..."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCupxYzGDwx
"Thou is...possessing her.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPhntwEBy6
"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."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2pB7STlv4
"Cool. Now...about him.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCOjkE9jhV
Arsenio points at the shattered window that Catherine fell out of.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6peJ7WQBO
Chrono's roar echoed throughout the realm as he perched on the window.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOcVjcHCQO
"Oi! You have some explaining to do!"
Catherine says as she takes back control of her body.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKm5Yc5Dey
"...Catherine, that's the Time Beast!"
Piravit says as a echoing voice inside her head.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ3QnaSBBi
"Eh? That's Chrono, that's just his Gift."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9c9S4D5hv
"Like you, he's been marked. If he sees me with you, he'll kill us both!"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zIme6xQDS
As on cue, Chrono jumps down right in front of Catherine, as if analyzing her. Then with angry aura, throws her again.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8jVbWENMX
Catherine hits the ground, tumbling.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfEnrYASRQ
She struggles to pick herself up, as Chrono runs towards her.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Jlo2s4UVx
"What the hell did you do for him to get pissed off?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxodL5nuX12
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.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPVXucQ1oK
"You have gotta be kidding me!"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWOOir0lrQ
"But don't worry! I'm sure if we beat him, he'll come to his senses!"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM10R5W1C2
Chrono pulls a punch towards them, only to be stopped by Isabelle's thread.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadLs3DvMqg
"C-Chrono! You h-have to come t-to your senses!"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMgDtEwQ2Y
"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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex4ruhMMbP
"I-I'm sorry...I can't k-keep him still..."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyXxIWiiIK
"It's alright! You've spared me some time!"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcEsEgPtGk
"Let me take over!" Piravit immediately pulls Catherine out, becoming the one in control.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuMc5Xorsf
As soon as Chrono began a barrage of punches, Piravit pulls away, but was able to only dodge a few before tanking them.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpY1c50DS3
"He's way too fast! I can't get a hit on him!"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcEtEuVVI6
As Chrono kept punching her in the chest, Piravit, in Catherine's body, was thinking of ideas, pondering as hard as her breathing.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSDkYhVVIb
Piravit begins to punch rapidly in response, until the two stop.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUgBdcRjTN
"I have to say..." Piravit states tauntingly. " You've given me quite the workout since I left my dimension-"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXV2rbFvJO
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvHqMMqwdg
"So, p-playing dirty are we?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrcDx2SdZp
Chrono responds with an angry, but silent, glare.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXruIBYKPj
"Great, I like games without rules..."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI7j2MGoEa
Piravit phases back into the floor. When they return to the Phasing Dimension, the two separate.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIJe4a4WDT
"Okay, so new plan..."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMRSrtHIiE
Catherine coughs as she feels the after effects of earlier.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT64jOSfuzP
"You better think of something and fast..."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPv2xfwrWF
"There's one last thing we can do, but you have to follow a specific set of rules and-"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZxZYSBarR
"Nevermind... I'll figure something out.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw6ayXz9zN
Catherine jumps from the dimension and behind Chrono, where she sneakily kicks him.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC6nhii30m
Piravit follows shortly behind her.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZNKoueNtl
She kneels down towards Chrono.
"Well? Are you having fun yet? Not fun being attacked without noticing, huh?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDDfplRBjk
Chrono swipes at Catherine's arm, barely cutting her.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtCkXkXqxz
"...Nah. Didn't think so.." she says, standing up. "Didn't know you'd get this bad.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRXIcxEX45
She picks him up. "Come on. Let's finish this so you can go back to normal at least. I have things to do.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6xmTCkpBk
Catherine stands in a fighting position.
"I'll only use my power alone."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgoF0Lgm3d
"Then allow me to join you." Arsenio says, standing beside her.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8Lrj6GceC
"What are you gonna do, flirt him to death?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aVl76VQ3i
"I actually had something else in mind.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULLDSV1122
Arsenio was finally able to conjure a Gift, as an arm cannon faded to fit on top of his hand.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RlXoK4q8r
"I wanted to test this thing, you know?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrerEn7UUhX
"...Whatever."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgnH1GfHHs
"Come forward..." Chrono says menacingly.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULLCYWuWnR
"Whatever you say, your Majesty."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYNsKA1C91
As the two-on-one began, more of the participants of the ceremony began to watch from a distance.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1AqDWG1EX
"Seems like we've made quite an audience.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt03tBpabg
"Let's make this the best coronation the Time Realm has ever seen.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePoHy6avgj
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOysb27I7kK
With a sharp yell, time itself began to slow.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhdw5Rr4G2
"Damnit! We're stuck until.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJR7zCy2En
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1SzSUUGba
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3LmBRoM0L
"...I don't think we're gonna make it if he keeps stopping time like that.." She says, spitting up blood and standing up.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQIGNJQkAy
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9sWT5rK0i
Catherine jumps up.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbeicZChAQ
"You're welcome!" Arsenio says from afar.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhumJ0FMS9
"Thanks! Keep looking for openings!"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNgLiMIWUC
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIbImyodjU
"A-alright...you've proven your worth.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGsnKyz2YZ
"Is this Chrono we're speaking to?" Arsenio asks as his Gift charges up once again and picks Catherine up.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IxxNa9qpT
"I-I'm not sure.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I3pmH46Su
"Make sure you're sure. I'd hate to hit you with this thing for no reason."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyG7qsGQRe
"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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfT9Oz9hXCi
Chrono shakes his head. "N-nevermind! Let us continue with the celebration, yes?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnt7CyWRUE
"To be honest, I'm worn out..."
Catherine huffed. "You're like...crazy strong."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7z99snAJH
"I-I'll make it up to you, I swear!"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcK2gs6dsQv
Piravit peeks from the floor. "Can I come out now?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rj9LiANez
"Depends.." Chrono says. "Are you willing to take your side of the deal?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9yXJ96MIk
"Eep!" Piravit says, coiling itself around Catherine and hiding behind her. "A-Ah! My part of the deal...?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBKSXyMCMZ
"You shall give me full entry to your dimension. That was your promise to me."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7ufRAA4ZE
"...Fine. But you can't keep using Chrono as a vessel for your battles."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzwRqckRAX
Chrono stares for a second, before hitting the ground, parts of his golden shell chipping off.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRF0ZHP9BrH
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhuT0WnJwg
"He's suppressed his power...I think."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBvR1AaqYU
"Wait, they have a gender?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0VuT5HrUY
"Yeah..." Piravit answered. "It is quite obvious that I'm female. No whiskers, see?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFshWD1cyR6
"I guess.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuC7aXMpko
"Catherine! Arsenio!" Isabelle says, stumbling her own feet. "A-Are you two alright?"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMs2N4PJjj
"I'm good. Not sure about Catherine though."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCcHZ5ZV5e
"Nah, I'll be alright. I don't think he broke anything."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZIkLTIzke
Nathaniel also approaches them with another tart in hand.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ezbk5L4pN
"Nate! You just had one of those things!"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgI0Nfc290
"I must try every single flavor." He says taking another giant bite.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0W9y9cRKA
"..M-Maybe we should g-go.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66X6klrtaB
"Are you sure? We can just...continue the party as normal.."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQj4RyMIoN
Arsenio shrugs. "Seems like a plan to me."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I4vSrgjsO
Slowly, the music begins to play. Partners begin to group together. It was like the party was uninterrupted the entire time.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg0Nlp08dH
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.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5eyRDu47Z
After the party, the Prodigies carried Chrono back into the House of Father Time.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TwROTU4lY
"Thank you, you four. Hopefully I can get around with solving some of your Timebreaker problems sometime!"
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwLrQxjqev
"We'd greatly appreciate it. We don't know how strong the next one'll be."
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjTbKkXEfs
Chrono waves them away as they go back to the Sanctuary. Ezra was already asleep when they returned, wrapped up in a blanket.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcGUoYZL3u
"Well, we should get some rest too."
Catherine announced.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkcwrhPGzR
"Way ahead of you." Arsenio says, dropping into the bed.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisnU9UDQFG
Everyone puts themselves to bed for the night, and the Prodigies fall asleep.
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFBbNOID5m
Silently, in the middle of the night, someone's Tempural Energy swarmed the room...
408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RE6L7hLVu
