"Rise and shine, Prodigies!" Verna's peppy voice awoken the group. "Let's get ready for the coronation of Father Time today!"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSs421zv9OD
Catherine scratches her neck as she pushes the quilt off. "Coronation?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MY3aZhW1I
"Apparently, a new Father Time is to be crowned today." Nathaniel states, stretching.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQPq14fXhM
"Your mission today is to just watch over the new guy before the celebration begins. Pretty easy, right?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU52w3B5aiF
"Wait...our job today is to be a goddamn babysitter?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4XGNad0KK
"If that's how you view it, yes. But as a reward, you get to go to the after-party!"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBP7mEnSzM
"That at least solves dinner..." Ezra thinks aloud.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Op1OwMKmy
"Breakfast will be served once you get there, so just put on your clothes and shoes and...look a little presentable.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPaxgWNUwq
"No prob.." Arsenio says. "Let me just get my morning tea before I go.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3covc2D8d
"T-Tea?" Isabelle asks while brushing her hair.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs18wvAJaSi
"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."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkwZBgX4Vr
"...Alright then..." Arsenio says, slowly sitting down and sliding his hands in his coat pockets. "I'll just wait until later then.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTCzr6mIxg
"Is everyone ready?" Verna asks, peeking into the room as she does so.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0YF5FAGEa
"I think so.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3Rpr5GhsU
"Good, good!" she fully opens the doors to let the Prodigies out. "Then, let's go, shall we?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QHOI55SFW
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdSwzHZtJH
"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."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeeqaFASTN
"...Is it because he's blonde?" Catherine remarked.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdT49l4tMc
"... That might have had a influence on the nickname, yes."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPislYALid
They watched as walked stone faced across to the home of Father Time.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUpe3yQp6i
"Let's go." Verna says, instructing them to follow Chrono.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJGdfxX2KX
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Dd0Tpoxic
"Hello?" Catherine waited for a response.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EJibmNagG
"J-Just a minute!" A voice called out before crashing and falling is heard. Then, from the stairs emerged Chrono.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4Tg0W0CT0
"Verna, very nice to see you again. And these four might be?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYlSHgFH2p
"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."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb45QkZuP1Q
"I see..."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOG3eaT6TV
"Thanks again for doing this, guys."
Verna time warps away.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWXWBq9JJC
"...Which one of you is which? I just don't want to be confused.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvENeqMCBwW
They introduce themselves once again, giving him some clarity.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNK25wD5fQ
"Ah, well it's nice to meet all of you."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6HZ78ENhI
"Verna t-told us that w-we would have s-some breakfast.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtQuIVCtJX
"Of course. You've come here quite early, so I'm sure you four are starving."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngnuz8uz3A
"Yeah..." Catherine agreed, lightly holding her stomach.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqxUGUu86D
"I thought so. I've prepared something, so don't worry."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSykaHjZJfz
Chrono brandishes a golden door, which he promptly throws open and reveals some nice breakfast meals, already plated and ready to eat.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHynnOL8Ue
"You m-made all of this yourself?!" Catherine exclaimed, impressed.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRLKAtj7LH
"I was just planning on making food for myself, but I didn't want to be rude.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoOGVBmhTj
"It does look rather...delectable..." Nathaniel says, clearing his throat.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk11IMmvV5Y
"Well, shall we eat or watch it get cold?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFedzy2SNq
The four Prodigies and the Son of Time all sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast, basically wolfing down the entire plate before them.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7eHU8wGYr
"Man, that was good..." Arsenio says, stretching in his seat.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX1MqK57Cz
"I'm glad you enjoyed. It's very difficult to find people who enjoy similar interests to me."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR822oXLN5a
"Now what? Do you just read books and whatnot?" Catherine asked, taking the last sip of her drink.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjsMmaLULD
"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.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPhwK3o74T
"Then why not join us? From what we've experienced, we certainly need the help." Arsenio asks, leaned back in his chair.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPZGhqs17p
"I was never suited for things like that, unfortunately..." Chrono sighs. "My Gift is also a little...hard to control."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZd4zEcVuk
"...Can we see it?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYzai0trwb
Chrono begins to rub his arms as guilt and embarrassment threw itself on his face.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6pJWFcZpK
"You can say no, you know..." Catherine speaks. "No one's forcing you."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ypiOw1zRW
"It's...complicated."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsGDUb02Zn
"That's u-understandable...I have a Gift I can't quite c-control myself..."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2D7bPzg3i
Dawlly immediately pops itself out of Isabelle's pocket with an annoyed look.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jD47cNOs8
"I-It's true..." she looks at Dawlly with the same annoyed look.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8MKzF5CPd
"Interesting.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB1Pn5RzoR
"Is there anything else you like to do other than read and fantasize?" Catherine asks.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW1z8WQWUa
"I like to learn more about my Gift."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGm1DRc0JC
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Zui9FAZOx
"O-oh my.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKGKLmt317
"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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbB36iEgyN
"So, what's your Gift? I'm sure you four have gotten one.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A44n2eppB
Catherine nudges Nathaniel. "You show yours first. You're the supposed leader."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxkPp4Qp4j
"I have never said that I was a leader..."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpRBQEH0Eu
"W-Well..." Isabelle added. "You d-do know the most out of all of us..."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKn7pK0MJZ
"...Fine.." Nathaniel reluctantly agrees.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GWtAIolWA
First, his arm, then up to his shoulder, until his entire body was covered in armor.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfBxqvH2Gr
"You never told me you could do that.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhFrLqYO2r
"I feel as if there is... no need to use the full Gift. It is...uncomfortable.." He speaks from within the suit.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo2ADuwRZW
"Well, get the hell out of it then..."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UATi1RFyd
He removes himself from the armor, reverting back to his velvet clothes.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFC60nlqNdr
"Well, since thou wants to assume roles, maybe thou would like to go next, co-leader?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQFGr1ermk
"Of course you pin this crap on me.." Catherine growled. "But sure, why not?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51DcxlABmU
She slips through her chair, and all the way through the floor.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8qpgrVo4W
It was like she was in her own dimension, her escape from reality. She swam around as she heard the others from above.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy4bczrzeE
That's when she heard a voice calling her name from the distance.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAs1XIKwyl
"Hello?" The voice creepily whispered.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdY5w0MbzX
"The hell?" She exclaimed. That freaked her out enough to pull herself out of the Phasing dimension.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0KCHR4igA
She gasped, as if she was underwater when she crawled out.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0830auX5J
"You alright? You've been in the floor for quite a while..." Arsenio mentioned.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVP0d56cn4C
"...Yeah, something just... freaked me out.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifEG27ZYYW
She slides back in her seat...
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA1yhQInLw
"I-I'll go next..." Isabelle announces. Within seconds, the threads began pulling themselves out of her sleeves.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRykl904JH
"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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDDqqoliDu
"I just had to wake up today! Is it wrong to get some sleep around here?!"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVx8Gcnznk
Dawlly smiles innocently as Isabelle continues to roar.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU1Uzbt9fO
"Don't worry, I've got this.." Arsenio stands up. "Trust me, my charm is irresistible."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3NQegyx5x
He grabs her wrists, looks her deep into her eyes..
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIQKnxGSHi
"Ah, great..." Catherine grumbled, rolling her eyes.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKe8QLxbbd
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that you look adorable when you're angry?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dEE7QtIMj
Isabelle, easily flustered and caught off guard, immediately snaps back to her timid self.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujZu37Pfyj
"See?" He points out. "It's like a secret perk I have." He starts throwing up two pieces of jewelry.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oa7bNLByk
Isabelle immediately feels her ears.
"M-my earrings!"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIhEuUY1DF
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."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2E1IbrCehY
Isabelle just kept turning red as she puts back on her earrings.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrCFZ34Rph
"So, you yourself do not have a Gift just yet, Arsenio?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgD76QaM6z
"I haven't really felt anything, so no...I think."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTtgcCCtne
Outside, bells begin to ring. Chrono looks up at the clock sitting across the room from him on the wall.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezxvRq9xOK
"Ah...only an hour left..."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7ehTrWsEW
"Is there anything else thou wants to say to us before thou becomes Father Time?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5p3VpLPgU
"Use your Gift well, and I hope we get to see each other more in the future."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujCrEFRhAd
Chrono smiles genuinely.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxwvTb776N
"So, what now?" Arsenio says, picking his teeth.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrTscgW0S4
"Well, if you four are attending the ceremony, you'll have to be properly dressed."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6AlLfO6Yq
"Well, Verna could've told us that earlier.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvo2B3WreB
"Don't worry, we have a public closet full of gowns and suits for you to wear."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmuAbSHrLt
Chrono stands up, leads them upstairs and pulls open a closet door.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxgK9Ex18m
There were attire in every color of the rainbow.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC1EsLc04L
"Hey, now this is nice!" Catherine says, walking into the spacious closet.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswjgJ2KX08
"Don't be afraid to pick whatever you want!" Chrono says, leaving.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3mwPFJuJf
Trying to decide what attire to wear, the Prodigies pick the most extravagant and dazzling outfit that fit them the most.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmWEfu49we
The four take turns putting on their new clothes, which gleamed and twinkled in the light. Once the four return to the closet.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI68k3osHqX
"Looking nice girls.." Arsenio says.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98rvBzmMHA
"These shoes are gonna kill me later, but yeah, thanks.."
Catherine complained.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcXU2x9oto
"Now that that portion has been completed.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qBisHSuGf
Nathaniel grabs Arsenio by the shoulder.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3K0ShL3pS
"Arsenio. Thou shall come with me."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5cm3sfkTx
He drags him away.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70QCrdbKFX
"Hey uh, Nathaniel, what are you trying to do?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9uHpB6rfU
"We must fix this hair of thine.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8kjv05H4g
"Wait...Nate no, my hair is fine-"
Nathaniel pulls Arsenio outside.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU5m3TUlJ4
"Well, it w-wouldn't be too wrong to d-do the same, would it?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxekbGxkpl
"No, we can take turns doing each other's hair. That seems hella fun!"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfOsI8cuom
"O-okay!"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bpbkzCYbk
Isabelle finds some combs, brushes, and hair accessories.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3OLFmtBcL
"N-now, what kind of hairstyle would you want?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwTs6oVTfe
"Something simple, I guess. Not trying to impress anyone.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2At6qcdua
Isabelle gets to unbraiding Catherine's hair, carefully and gracefully taking it apart. In the middle of brushing however, Isabelle stops.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQGKETJUt5
"Uhm...Catherine?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5McGXzZ4lg
"Yeah?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0xRwnTdcS
"There's a m-mark or something...on your neck.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QmMr9Y0KO
"Huh? What does it look like?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCOjWaBoRr
"It l-looks like something scratched you... you didn't g-get attacked b-by anything, did you?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioiIabAGkD
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.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVJOmiO4Xu
"D-Do you have any allergies?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqOJUCuOTl
"I'm not supposed to."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFew4cJIO1b
"...Oh my.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZA2S8tHum
"I'm not too worried about it... it'll clear up soon..."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOJUEMvZyY
"...If you say so.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIDfvNy0nV
Isabelle continues to brush and straighten Catherine's hair. Before she knew it, Isabelle was already putting a flower pin neatly upon her head.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qLNL92tyV
Isabelle puts a mirror in front of her face. "T-Tada!"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOfAKJhz1w
"Oh damn. That's actually really good."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL8ZkOEkvH
"T-thank you.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSK9bvZmVfZ
They switch positions, with Catherine sitting behind Isabelle to do her hair.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPuIMvVCHj
"Is there anything specific you want to get?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPXsdtNSYx
"U-Uhm.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw5vd1vxGc
"Oh wait, I actually learned how to do this one hairstyle, French roll or something like that?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0zkXf4vWT
"Okay, that one t-then.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ972Ep5GWmb
"Alright."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpng25TJ75
Catherine gathers all of Isabelle's hair, pulling it together, wrapping it around itself, until it looks like the hairstyle.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFAMzU7xNA
"Crap, I don't have any hair pins.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ3LkqU7jJ
"D-don't worry, I have a backup.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV2Hbw3ZM8
With her Gift, Isabelle sews the updo together until it fits securely, then places her own pin into her head.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9caCBko4zH
"...That works too.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4NETzmS5j
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfRh8rvjz8
"I still don't get why you did this, it was fine as it is.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmD3A536eu
"Trust me, thou would rather look like this."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiKzLjk26v
"I see the boys didn't have a good time picking out hairstyles." Catherine taunted.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcrNYm2eyd
"T-They do seem to be in a debate.." Isabelle added.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUThKXdH6M
"It's gonna take forever to put my hair back now.." Arsenio protested.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzH0HT5sbW
"Let's not w-worry about that... we're supposed t-to have fun.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSZ4CF0Fyq
"Yeah, I guess that's true..."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lht7oKbGu
There was thirty more minutes left. Still plenty of time to waste. Chrono comes back to check on them.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA3pbllHgz
"Ah, looking exquisite Prodigies!" Chrono praises them. "I'm sure you'll be the best looking ones out there!"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvoa9iSDaq
"Eh, I doubt it, but I feel a lot prettier in this poofy thing.." Catherine flutters the ends of her dress.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFUAb45Yji
"Ah, don't be so modest, you look great!"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRClvQ0kd7
"Well, we still have lots of time. What should we do until then?" Arsenio asks.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2wZxLHwCl
"Why wait?" Chrono asks. "I can manipulate time at will. I'll just skip time a few minutes.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbW2sKUIMw
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco2s5wPQMf
"...That was...strange."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5tCpU5OwK
"Let's go. The ceremony's about to start."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCXocgDLin
Catherine pushes Chrono out of the door. "We're right behind you, don't worry."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSjuIpxSxw
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7U4aylrzOf
The crowd begins to applaud as Verna appears behind Chrono. She clears her throat.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CuFFeLgCD
"Welcome everyone, to Chrono's coronation. It's been a while since we've had one of these, huh?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSeDh5vxAI
The crowd erupted into light laughter.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNhszY5AUo
"Anyways," she continued. "let's get to the best part."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCeh8gi47s
She turns Chrono around, hold his hands gently.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K3QWYovZx
"Do you solemnly swear, as long as you live, that you will fairly rule over the Time Realm?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NF1FAXq13
Chrono silently nods.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7VjlBt7Uh
Verna releases his hands, opens her own, and in them, appears an extravagant crown which seemed to glow in the light.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC99JUMeImu
"Well then," she places it upon his head. "..you are now Father Time."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZrpbkcOce
Everyone explodes into cheers. The Prodigies couldn't help but clap along.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PrM8nFgGS
"Now, let us commence. Grab a partner, for the party is about to begin!"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQ39rewwLH
Groups begin to pull apart into parties of two, music begins to fade in.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1L7FFQ7eZ
Catherine feels fluttery from the tension.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qkL5As044
"...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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1FnW4ZGrZ
"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."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWtt83ec0c
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hv9SdCraz
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ83sqpwQu
"Does thou plan to do this at every party?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48QrDKMUB0
Catherine finds the source of the tension. She knew Nathaniel was standing behind her the entire time. Without looking back, she responds.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF0LUrfMZV
"I don't have anything else to do. Why'd you follow me anyway?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVEaJ4swl1
"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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtZPg3J1uU
"Nate, you dumbass..."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2lpxkaiB5
"Hm?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgpGIjdDvN
"You have jam and crap all over your face.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqm8ugrCp9k
She pulls a napkin, and is just about to hand it to him, when a voice yells in pain, quieting the party to silence.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJDF5HcqCn
"...What's going on?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwz29IHWgR
"I am not sure."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX32EIsr94O
"...Boost me."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaBpEOiJDQ
"What?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4sf4nvq1L
Catherine struggles to climb up Nathaniel. Once she reaches his shoulders, her eyes catch something unexpected.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sRXPiEt7X
"It's...Chrono.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfnUoU79yC
The two push participants out of the way.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2tYha83cb
"I was worried about his hands and..." a girl whispered towards them.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EeHriKpLT
"Don't worry, we've got this."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYOXRf0g7H
It seems like his Gift was finally coming into play.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRYSRa6ICn
"Chrono...are you alright?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooVDw9lHmn
Chrono grabs the edge of Catherine's dress to pull himself up.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5wN7GfMkL
"I'm fine, really! My Gift just... activated all on it's own.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWX3N1LEsY
As he stands up, everyone could see his Gift's true form. His face was plated halfway with gold, just as his arms were.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1M0NpOQg5
"But seriously, I'm fine!"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2POsvRyYxK
More of his face became jagged.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRsW0ugspV
"... Let's go. Nate, you get Arsenio and Isabelle."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTEtQqsidP
Catherine pulled Chrono away from the party, taking him back the House of Father Time.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIsXlXAl18
"Okay, Chrono...what happened?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOihX7Wnraw
"I-I think the stress...plus the demonstration from this morning..."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQILOwpNYey
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq6lwGEPAe
"C-Chrono? Are you okay?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZneWaxYRP9
"I-I am f-fine, Prodigies...this is just what happens...It's a little painful, though..."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gh31EL6LK
More barbs rip around his body, horns even start to curve from his head.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkkVMR3hnI
"O-Oh goodness.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ89aZmgvo
"I just have to...fight it. I can't hurt anyone if..."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2gzZfQTko
His breathing gets heavier than stones.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TQp7ziFLS
"Is there anyone we can get for help?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J5kvpOXmD
"You don't need to bring anyone. Just...leave before it.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZjCmmQxJ8
Without thinking, Chrono threw a glass from a table right beside him.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6ypNPla85
"Okay okay! Let's calm down.." Arsenio says, recovering from dodging.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsngip9h0g
"I-I can't! It's going to..."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtw0qmaYEwn
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJytazmwgc
Catherine simply used Phasing to break her fall, diving into the floor.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu5cZjSb9j
The voice from before called again. "There she is again!"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZLCCTtJy3
"...Who the hell are you? What do you want?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllXHNbO84O
She saw a stripe of bright cyan wave past her. Catherine tried desperately to find where the line went.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjj4c2PbPk
"...Behind you.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYp5YAhU3I6
Catherine turned around to see the menacing face of a dragon staring back at her. She was about to take a breath to scream.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2j81UBcAC
"Hey, don't scream. I just want to know how you got here."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhg1cp7MJI
Catherine confusingly looks.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaQcMad3er
"This is my Gift...I can phase through crap like it's water. I broke my fall from a building.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgC5m0XKru0
"Oh, you must be the person I marked yesterday. Makes sense, I guess.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47IPA7OpQv
"M-Marked?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ie8FOPe7l
"That itch you could never satisfy." It points towards Catherine's neck.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIbjL2RMVM
"...Wait, that was you?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbKOfVCx1r
The serpent playfully clears it's throat before bellowing menacingly.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknzYkEWdfs
"Allow me to become you, and I shall spare your life!"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQfnwBakBp
"...Do I get other abilities other than falling through stuff?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2AYrVA5KP
The dragon shrugs. "I think so?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VNEwmQvTJ
"Great. Come on then."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQVppSzbrE
It phases through Catherine, unlocking a surge of energy and power within her.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74Pl0wmWmF
Catherine climbs out of the dimension as the others were looking for her.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5hGW6Pm1k
"Sorry if I scared you guys.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pRUsx5PU3
"Catherine! Y-you're okay!"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG90pSCzMVS
"Yeah, I just got a new friend."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ526O4PQJJ8
The dragon only appeared as a ghost coiled around her body.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKL0Mwa0uN
"And her name is?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS19fbxmdrF
"Not sure.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rVYmVOQTF
Like a ghost, the dragon swapped her soul with Catherine's.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDnsE9TQUN
"Piravit. My name is Piravit, the Spiritual Dragon of Phasing. I have chosen Catherine here as my host..."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hMaorvjZn
"Thou is...possessing her.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3uYAwnphE
"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."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMGg57Fhzw
"Cool. Now...about him.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHfovPbOsE
Arsenio points at the shattered window that Catherine fell out of.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYyXtrOcDV
Chrono's roar echoed throughout the realm as he perched on the window.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QxuOCUZVi
"Oi! You have some explaining to do!"
Catherine says as she takes back control of her body.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3M9tVB70n
"...Catherine, that's the Time Beast!"
Piravit says as a echoing voice inside her head.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNxsANnI7n
"Eh? That's Chrono, that's just his Gift."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXISATu0H0
"Like you, he's been marked. If he sees me with you, he'll kill us both!"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BKd7FtJue
As on cue, Chrono jumps down right in front of Catherine, as if analyzing her. Then with angry aura, throws her again.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQP9nnlqz4
Catherine hits the ground, tumbling.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr9FSNBMI3
She struggles to pick herself up, as Chrono runs towards her.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4cVmPVERr
"What the hell did you do for him to get pissed off?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyHCzwWXHn
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.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv8sdNPcgZ
"You have gotta be kidding me!"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2EDHvqDP3
"But don't worry! I'm sure if we beat him, he'll come to his senses!"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJNPetDbwv
Chrono pulls a punch towards them, only to be stopped by Isabelle's thread.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqcNe2xtgn
"C-Chrono! You h-have to come t-to your senses!"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJN7szNoJq
"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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt2fi9Sd3J
"I-I'm sorry...I can't k-keep him still..."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgnSk5oMct
"It's alright! You've spared me some time!"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbKUBZ1MBB
"Let me take over!" Piravit immediately pulls Catherine out, becoming the one in control.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl74Fd6zh2
As soon as Chrono began a barrage of punches, Piravit pulls away, but was able to only dodge a few before tanking them.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxVOnlqX6V
"He's way too fast! I can't get a hit on him!"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWEJj0XMDJ
As Chrono kept punching her in the chest, Piravit, in Catherine's body, was thinking of ideas, pondering as hard as her breathing.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDCcwVpWwP
Piravit begins to punch rapidly in response, until the two stop.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPWyefHTol
"I have to say..." Piravit states tauntingly. " You've given me quite the workout since I left my dimension-"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFR4Kzo4yh
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRH7LxvZfH
"So, p-playing dirty are we?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6qrpOGyhT
Chrono responds with an angry, but silent, glare.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw4H8LaxeX
"Great, I like games without rules..."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AzxtJpN5U
Piravit phases back into the floor. When they return to the Phasing Dimension, the two separate.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aQaBPU0yF
"Okay, so new plan..."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4szk4gNWW9
Catherine coughs as she feels the after effects of earlier.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4Kewy3AwV
"You better think of something and fast..."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36625kG14I
"There's one last thing we can do, but you have to follow a specific set of rules and-"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fX9LtxSDS
"Nevermind... I'll figure something out.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgx91WBa3sf
Catherine jumps from the dimension and behind Chrono, where she sneakily kicks him.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NILF7dh5f
Piravit follows shortly behind her.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTIH8kfPoC
She kneels down towards Chrono.
"Well? Are you having fun yet? Not fun being attacked without noticing, huh?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhvKqQ2HEX
Chrono swipes at Catherine's arm, barely cutting her.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqu2DNp1mR
"...Nah. Didn't think so.." she says, standing up. "Didn't know you'd get this bad.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1lUH7bGqb
She picks him up. "Come on. Let's finish this so you can go back to normal at least. I have things to do.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p80mNczJu
Catherine stands in a fighting position.
"I'll only use my power alone."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3pqz0UmAD
"Then allow me to join you." Arsenio says, standing beside her.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMHNrfpxGS
"What are you gonna do, flirt him to death?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVR0Zg0wT0
"I actually had something else in mind.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcztndJZyur
Arsenio was finally able to conjure a Gift, as an arm cannon faded to fit on top of his hand.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDLiwmc9jA
"I wanted to test this thing, you know?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV1MEOlYTZ
"...Whatever."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz5P3UdLN1
"Come forward..." Chrono says menacingly.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b3KqIvNSP
"Whatever you say, your Majesty."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6kvlvtQin
As the two-on-one began, more of the participants of the ceremony began to watch from a distance.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKBQrEwvcO
"Seems like we've made quite an audience.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wsYWGtKY3
"Let's make this the best coronation the Time Realm has ever seen.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a7RxYhso7
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwz37FHjuHA
With a sharp yell, time itself began to slow.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeXL6YN5mW
"Damnit! We're stuck until.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7am9OSHTp
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvs7TouaUD
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKPB3GY5wz
"...I don't think we're gonna make it if he keeps stopping time like that.." She says, spitting up blood and standing up.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM4n8jLIOQ
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0hzhT93pM
Catherine jumps up.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO1wDRAKFS
"You're welcome!" Arsenio says from afar.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0bin71mg5
"Thanks! Keep looking for openings!"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nsfj2WGvw
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtdKXV8p8a
"A-alright...you've proven your worth.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulspPTgcdZ
"Is this Chrono we're speaking to?" Arsenio asks as his Gift charges up once again and picks Catherine up.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3cpzb8qWe
"I-I'm not sure.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4CgpBJuln
"Make sure you're sure. I'd hate to hit you with this thing for no reason."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUOr4aZY0n
"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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkohY0DRefb
Chrono shakes his head. "N-nevermind! Let us continue with the celebration, yes?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAf4ErJtJ8
"To be honest, I'm worn out..."
Catherine huffed. "You're like...crazy strong."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxht5sOwAd
"I-I'll make it up to you, I swear!"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX7kPuToi3
Piravit peeks from the floor. "Can I come out now?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbto39tgdrk
"Depends.." Chrono says. "Are you willing to take your side of the deal?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDxkiVGMMM
"Eep!" Piravit says, coiling itself around Catherine and hiding behind her. "A-Ah! My part of the deal...?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkOYEOQONn
"You shall give me full entry to your dimension. That was your promise to me."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssC526gO8W
"...Fine. But you can't keep using Chrono as a vessel for your battles."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGUK9v7Wxd
Chrono stares for a second, before hitting the ground, parts of his golden shell chipping off.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXcxsWKYTp
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQmCBjW5rY
"He's suppressed his power...I think."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtWaiLZVe1
"Wait, they have a gender?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4KJlZqCpH
"Yeah..." Piravit answered. "It is quite obvious that I'm female. No whiskers, see?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4fr91Marw
"I guess.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK9WDNFKaB
"Catherine! Arsenio!" Isabelle says, stumbling her own feet. "A-Are you two alright?"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyre5jdoQvS
"I'm good. Not sure about Catherine though."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QYvnlV9yu
"Nah, I'll be alright. I don't think he broke anything."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWxxbzFzJA
Nathaniel also approaches them with another tart in hand.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChZ2i4v3sf
"Nate! You just had one of those things!"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzM2aCpzwy
"I must try every single flavor." He says taking another giant bite.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm5q4sd81O
"..M-Maybe we should g-go.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmejo4j2IsO
"Are you sure? We can just...continue the party as normal.."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZUY3yBrht
Arsenio shrugs. "Seems like a plan to me."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI0oJlDGrW
Slowly, the music begins to play. Partners begin to group together. It was like the party was uninterrupted the entire time.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvwZN0FCo4
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.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6u7OnZQHm
After the party, the Prodigies carried Chrono back into the House of Father Time.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicwXU3tqAy
"Thank you, you four. Hopefully I can get around with solving some of your Timebreaker problems sometime!"
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13cUq4KmB9
"We'd greatly appreciate it. We don't know how strong the next one'll be."
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuXgX2Byn7
Chrono waves them away as they go back to the Sanctuary. Ezra was already asleep when they returned, wrapped up in a blanket.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk9e2hVIMe
"Well, we should get some rest too."
Catherine announced.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8IKcknS1Z
"Way ahead of you." Arsenio says, dropping into the bed.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rIyUYTCNc
Everyone puts themselves to bed for the night, and the Prodigies fall asleep.
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9gvlhCTCv
Silently, in the middle of the night, someone's Tempural Energy swarmed the room...
346Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreJ2pQDaSr
