"Rise and shine, Prodigies!" Verna's peppy voice awoken the group. "Let's get ready for the coronation of Father Time today!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpSu7FZrQe
Catherine scratches her neck as she pushes the quilt off. "Coronation?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYEqD6Y2Gy
"Apparently, a new Father Time is to be crowned today." Nathaniel states, stretching.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU7p4PGGRG
"Your mission today is to just watch over the new guy before the celebration begins. Pretty easy, right?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUbIPmIG8y
"Wait...our job today is to be a goddamn babysitter?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6tLF02IS7
"If that's how you view it, yes. But as a reward, you get to go to the after-party!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJqqKRZPYP
"That at least solves dinner..." Ezra thinks aloud.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZjQA7WQSN
"Breakfast will be served once you get there, so just put on your clothes and shoes and...look a little presentable.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGIT3l0lwQ
"No prob.." Arsenio says. "Let me just get my morning tea before I go.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaRJz8AGtv
"T-Tea?" Isabelle asks while brushing her hair.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ReRdw1mhq
"There's no time to go time traveling now." Nathaniel interrupted, pulling his shoes on his feet. "We have to be there as soon as possible. Thou leaving would only cause delay."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHakGmWwez
"...Alright then..." Arsenio says, slowly sitting down and sliding his hands in his coat pockets. "I'll just wait until later then.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInRoNj3ZeR
"Is everyone ready?" Verna asks, peeking into the room as she does so.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsemm2v4h1
"I think so.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cUZ11F4QZ
"Good, good!" she fully opens the doors to let the Prodigies out. "Then, let's go, shall we?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklOvLGelRm
The four leave the Sanctuary, following behind Verna. A crowd of other Prodigies and Timekeepers exploded into cheers and claps, not for them, but for the soon-to-be Father Time. The five come out to take a look.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQGU2NOoKP
"See him?" Verna points towards a young man dressed in golden silk. "That's in z was Chrono, the so-called 'Golden Child' of the Time Realm."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnBFhnjUpP
"...Is it because he's blonde?" Catherine remarked.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzCjVMXNLy
"... That might have had a influence on the nickname, yes."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mrUdLZLwY
They watched as walked stone faced across to the home of Father Time.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtfm1xLOwb
"Let's go." Verna says, instructing them to follow Chrono.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49nH9PHqpR
When they finally get to the house of Father Time, opened the door and walked in, they were amazed by the interior of it. They could feel the whimsical breeze of it's godly aura.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg2JhyzyK5
"Hello?" Catherine waited for a response.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2K45U9A92
"J-Just a minute!" A voice called out before crashing and falling is heard. Then, from the stairs emerged Chrono.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATzmiLskgU
"Verna, very nice to see you again. And these four might be?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgBRHR5bUU
"This is Nathaniel, Catherine, Isabelle and Arsenio. They're the new Prodigies that are here to keep you company while we prepare for the ceremony."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWTt4cicOg
"I see..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgBO6Qu3Rq
"Thanks again for doing this, guys."
Verna time warps away.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5idkO9MMll
"...Which one of you is which? I just don't want to be confused.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJKMgsBvAP
They introduce themselves once again, giving him some clarity.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinW2bW4TQt
"Ah, well it's nice to meet all of you."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwMhJzNhnD
"Verna t-told us that w-we would have s-some breakfast.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2eiYageIk
"Of course. You've come here quite early, so I'm sure you four are starving."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPqJG8XFuR
"Yeah..." Catherine agreed, lightly holding her stomach.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUBjMtHeHT
"I thought so. I've prepared something, so don't worry."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTblojSxZV
Chrono brandishes a golden door, which he promptly throws open and reveals some nice breakfast meals, already plated and ready to eat.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQllstD1sn
"You m-made all of this yourself?!" Catherine exclaimed, impressed.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qXmJAuXJb
"I was just planning on making food for myself, but I didn't want to be rude.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPPsWKRL8v
"It does look rather...delectable..." Nathaniel says, clearing his throat.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85EXIrLdv2
"Well, shall we eat or watch it get cold?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kgqxAkat0
The four Prodigies and the Son of Time all sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast, basically wolfing down the entire plate before them.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSoOUonTKg
"Man, that was good..." Arsenio says, stretching in his seat.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xXM8C6aks
"I'm glad you enjoyed. It's very difficult to find people who enjoy similar interests to me."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vcxylA2Kj
"Now what? Do you just read books and whatnot?" Catherine asked, taking the last sip of her drink.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJKwgjLavq
"I'm afraid so...I yearn to join you Prodigies on adventures. They sound full of excitement, far more exciting than being the future ruler of the Time Realm.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXCVEadtt6
"Then why not join us? From what we've experienced, we certainly need the help." Arsenio asks, leaned back in his chair.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpp8ISyUaLs
"I was never suited for things like that, unfortunately..." Chrono sighs. "My Gift is also a little...hard to control."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh87yb8vkvL
"...Can we see it?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVEziHByM3
Chrono begins to rub his arms as guilt and embarrassment threw itself on his face.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5dkFh0bjx
"You can say no, you know..." Catherine speaks. "No one's forcing you."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OokUy7JGl
"It's...complicated."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVvMCOaLCN
"That's u-understandable...I have a Gift I can't quite c-control myself..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCELJ9YuBvG
Dawlly immediately pops itself out of Isabelle's pocket with an annoyed look.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpvHLNM1zD
"I-It's true..." she looks at Dawlly with the same annoyed look.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdrDyHyphH
"Interesting.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUsr1Xe4wd
"Is there anything else you like to do other than read and fantasize?" Catherine asks.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8U4JjhRhz
"I like to learn more about my Gift."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGc2d18Q3FO
Carefully, as not to fully summon his Gift, Chrono slides his sleeves back and reveals the shiny, golden exterior, speckled with gems of many, his fingernails now sharpened and curved.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN5qxDxsic
"O-oh my.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTOmSR19xZ
"This is as far as I'll go..the last thing I want is to turn on you.." Chrono quickly pulls his sleeves back up.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvbQ8xov3L
"So, what's your Gift? I'm sure you four have gotten one.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOezGNDVoGT
Catherine nudges Nathaniel. "You show yours first. You're the supposed leader."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMOYgvG3ZO
"I have never said that I was a leader..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBqHgTbzpj
"W-Well..." Isabelle added. "You d-do know the most out of all of us..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLceihfT3G
"...Fine.." Nathaniel reluctantly agrees.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDCk3m5XfF
First, his arm, then up to his shoulder, until his entire body was covered in armor.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUewuZEZhQb
"You never told me you could do that.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLhQKZpiaR
"I feel as if there is... no need to use the full Gift. It is...uncomfortable.." He speaks from within the suit.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKc8Ilv33w
"Well, get the hell out of it then..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT5Piok5HJ
He removes himself from the armor, reverting back to his velvet clothes.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP90wzMZru
"Well, since thou wants to assume roles, maybe thou would like to go next, co-leader?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhzHLuGWP2
"Of course you pin this crap on me.." Catherine growled. "But sure, why not?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYscGaznDGx
She slips through her chair, and all the way through the floor.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuPIHppATG
It was like she was in her own dimension, her escape from reality. She swam around as she heard the others from above.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4g4dTfixL
That's when she heard a voice calling her name from the distance.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaInwKJdlKo
"Hello?" The voice creepily whispered.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAFFlrUmRj
"The hell?" She exclaimed. That freaked her out enough to pull herself out of the Phasing dimension.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqee6Vfc7h2
She gasped, as if she was underwater when she crawled out.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QL8oDOX0x
"You alright? You've been in the floor for quite a while..." Arsenio mentioned.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT2EgiJoYv
"...Yeah, something just... freaked me out.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA5ReKwOf8
She slides back in her seat...
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4IDFSMcl6
"I-I'll go next..." Isabelle announces. Within seconds, the threads began pulling themselves out of her sleeves.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YqVTezw6m
"I can even control her emotions like this!"
Dawlly pulls itself against the rest of the threads. Isabelle clenches her chest, before dropping. She wakes up in a fit of rage.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFidlPBf11q
"I just had to wake up today! Is it wrong to get some sleep around here?!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7KBchKQXk
Dawlly smiles innocently as Isabelle continues to roar.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJNX0gr7uB
"Don't worry, I've got this.." Arsenio stands up. "Trust me, my charm is irresistible."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ49ku48qWC
He grabs her wrists, looks her deep into her eyes..
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6GnZNBV1I
"Ah, great..." Catherine grumbled, rolling her eyes.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0om2ZbkzrH
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that you look adorable when you're angry?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFcUyY5JwQ
Isabelle, easily flustered and caught off guard, immediately snaps back to her timid self.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5c4STgV0y
"See?" He points out. "It's like a secret perk I have." He starts throwing up two pieces of jewelry.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wCL0zr0Ko
Isabelle immediately feels her ears.
"M-my earrings!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6xHdGq83s
Arsenio chuckles and gives them back to Isabelle. "Don't worry Belle, I might be a thief, but I couldn't steal from a sweet girl like you."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQNjScahUX
Isabelle just kept turning red as she puts back on her earrings.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0SXgwzqto
"So, you yourself do not have a Gift just yet, Arsenio?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3EPWlZKbY
"I haven't really felt anything, so no...I think."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwKl5O81uY
Outside, bells begin to ring. Chrono looks up at the clock sitting across the room from him on the wall.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzTE5EeOhS
"Ah...only an hour left..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IBGwctFGO
"Is there anything else thou wants to say to us before thou becomes Father Time?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFAHnHnVQq
"Use your Gift well, and I hope we get to see each other more in the future."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmmNCsoxhq
Chrono smiles genuinely.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonTihIYg50
"So, what now?" Arsenio says, picking his teeth.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xny86uXkb
"Well, if you four are attending the ceremony, you'll have to be properly dressed."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX9oYEbqgm
"Well, Verna could've told us that earlier.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi5ehTmGSy
"Don't worry, we have a public closet full of gowns and suits for you to wear."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Fy0zTN5al
Chrono stands up, leads them upstairs and pulls open a closet door.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwCxsfqG35
There were attire in every color of the rainbow.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeOz85JWuk
"Hey, now this is nice!" Catherine says, walking into the spacious closet.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFYW6hnwvf
"Don't be afraid to pick whatever you want!" Chrono says, leaving.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡao4cznWDA2
Trying to decide what attire to wear, the Prodigies pick the most extravagant and dazzling outfit that fit them the most.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyi8SIuS6qU
The four take turns putting on their new clothes, which gleamed and twinkled in the light. Once the four return to the closet.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kiMzUbEb2
"Looking nice girls.." Arsenio says.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBYFtXtVTH
"These shoes are gonna kill me later, but yeah, thanks.."
Catherine complained.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx44FoeADT
"Now that that portion has been completed.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFys2fes2tT
Nathaniel grabs Arsenio by the shoulder.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXXZAuWiRB
"Arsenio. Thou shall come with me."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk0NUE4pnw
He drags him away.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg8i2cKGXG
"Hey uh, Nathaniel, what are you trying to do?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OZe2aYaKB
"We must fix this hair of thine.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1zbBfuMgi
"Wait...Nate no, my hair is fine-"
Nathaniel pulls Arsenio outside.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21gssUELnU
"Well, it w-wouldn't be too wrong to d-do the same, would it?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt07owMzH4O
"No, we can take turns doing each other's hair. That seems hella fun!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xsyCjg3rq
"O-okay!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevVymCuDfb
Isabelle finds some combs, brushes, and hair accessories.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsK4Hj2unJ
"N-now, what kind of hairstyle would you want?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5H9f9bM7R
"Something simple, I guess. Not trying to impress anyone.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRIhDl3XyT
Isabelle gets to unbraiding Catherine's hair, carefully and gracefully taking it apart. In the middle of brushing however, Isabelle stops.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpEaAFvxfK
"Uhm...Catherine?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTViLZbHKR
"Yeah?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrrhFGmMeO
"There's a m-mark or something...on your neck.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEghT300kJz
"Huh? What does it look like?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ8R2ZTEui
"It l-looks like something scratched you... you didn't g-get attacked b-by anything, did you?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfmFQAmEtV
Catherine scratches her neck once again.
"I dunno, I thought I just had an allergic reaction to something yesterday, that's when it started itching like crazy.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC4zpDuQqK
"D-Do you have any allergies?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwxq88XJE6
"I'm not supposed to."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo00VB47Go
"...Oh my.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8ij5k0XtD
"I'm not too worried about it... it'll clear up soon..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUljpU34aS
"...If you say so.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1dR4lr7Vu
Isabelle continues to brush and straighten Catherine's hair. Before she knew it, Isabelle was already putting a flower pin neatly upon her head.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmle2ev2WJX
Isabelle puts a mirror in front of her face. "T-Tada!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtZL2XsvmG
"Oh damn. That's actually really good."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nYGva2JIy
"T-thank you.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkqtpEkEdR
They switch positions, with Catherine sitting behind Isabelle to do her hair.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxdTDWPfZY
"Is there anything specific you want to get?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzZ7Hewld5
"U-Uhm.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gOLFkw1Yx
"Oh wait, I actually learned how to do this one hairstyle, French roll or something like that?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl4CWMlKjJ
"Okay, that one t-then.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJK2Djmeuq
"Alright."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLBaM28UbC
Catherine gathers all of Isabelle's hair, pulling it together, wrapping it around itself, until it looks like the hairstyle.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5Q3aoAm11
"Crap, I don't have any hair pins.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2eTUGWJWu
"D-don't worry, I have a backup.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiWWkJnTAO
With her Gift, Isabelle sews the updo together until it fits securely, then places her own pin into her head.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNlonTaIET
"...That works too.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4407IlvAR
Both the boys suddenly walk back into the closet. Arsenio's hair was no longer covering his eye, but instead pulled back to where someone could see both.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKecJEq1rj
"I still don't get why you did this, it was fine as it is.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjaRukCpaM
"Trust me, thou would rather look like this."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArr8Ne3nqi
"I see the boys didn't have a good time picking out hairstyles." Catherine taunted.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDOu5UE8FF
"T-They do seem to be in a debate.." Isabelle added.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4NwCmHLPj
"It's gonna take forever to put my hair back now.." Arsenio protested.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G1pBGZbuW
"Let's not w-worry about that... we're supposed t-to have fun.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJAM1yQba2
"Yeah, I guess that's true..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP1FbQstVX
There was thirty more minutes left. Still plenty of time to waste. Chrono comes back to check on them.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaIKfRl8yl
"Ah, looking exquisite Prodigies!" Chrono praises them. "I'm sure you'll be the best looking ones out there!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmF1Diy76l
"Eh, I doubt it, but I feel a lot prettier in this poofy thing.." Catherine flutters the ends of her dress.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2lVmiXNvs
"Ah, don't be so modest, you look great!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJH9Bw2Z2a
"Well, we still have lots of time. What should we do until then?" Arsenio asks.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VpN2p3aAv
"Why wait?" Chrono asks. "I can manipulate time at will. I'll just skip time a few minutes.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fkz1R1Tpd
Chrono raises his arms. Their breathing gets faster, no, everything they did became quicker than their eyes can see, then abruptly...it all stops. The bells ring once again.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIxpKQrgcJ
"...That was...strange."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡborTTwfUn2
"Let's go. The ceremony's about to start."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE0t2LSQc7
Catherine pushes Chrono out of the door. "We're right behind you, don't worry."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2yFW84XRX
Chrono sighs, stands in a more noble-like pose, and walks out with same neutral face as before. The Prodigies start walking similarly, standing on the sidelines as they got to the end of the golden aisle.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsd0ac8y3Q
The crowd begins to applaud as Verna appears behind Chrono. She clears her throat.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTWPF5DlU6
"Welcome everyone, to Chrono's coronation. It's been a while since we've had one of these, huh?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpygCJtCXC2
The crowd erupted into light laughter.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu21MCFBFGw
"Anyways," she continued. "let's get to the best part."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXbAnrDlIL
She turns Chrono around, hold his hands gently.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupEWxcEFn8
"Do you solemnly swear, as long as you live, that you will fairly rule over the Time Realm?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkdJjrIawE
Chrono silently nods.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSmW9FAyEi
Verna releases his hands, opens her own, and in them, appears an extravagant crown which seemed to glow in the light.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq3f3I0Gz8
"Well then," she places it upon his head. "..you are now Father Time."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdnncGOXj6
Everyone explodes into cheers. The Prodigies couldn't help but clap along.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap5EbCGFEU
"Now, let us commence. Grab a partner, for the party is about to begin!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufMBaWCvkQ
Groups begin to pull apart into parties of two, music begins to fade in.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaQRpFoKf9
Catherine feels fluttery from the tension.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycPRuHZxpc
"...Is something the matter Catherine?" Nathaniel's voice seemed louder than the opening song softly playing in background, the duos of dancers twirling around like a top.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerlop3sCmD
"I just...never danced before. I just sat in the back of the room drinking punch and looking at everyone else at prom." she returned, sadly chuckling. "Speaking of which...I should go do that now."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMTtq5E6Ls
She trudges off to a table, which had some people conversing between each other, and some cool punch standing on a table. Catherine brainlessly takes a cup, picks up the golden ladle, and puts the drink in the cup before taking a sip, like she always does.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqY1w1Yta4
She tries to find familiar people swimming through the crowd like fish in water. Catherine is lost in thought as she took another sip, the cool temperature of the drink removing the clawing tension from her head and shoulders.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEzefRMJci
"Does thou plan to do this at every party?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH1CVNuRM5
Catherine finds the source of the tension. She knew Nathaniel was standing behind her the entire time. Without looking back, she responds.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmMVh3kLym
"I don't have anything else to do. Why'd you follow me anyway?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyLpuQegAU
"I actually came here for a pastry.." he reaches behind her to grab a tart from the tray on the table, taking a bite and getting jam and whipped cream on his face.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xbfU04k8Y
"Nate, you dumbass..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I7ShGfc5B
"Hm?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsyFt7RLsC
"You have jam and crap all over your face.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEJULzuI1b
She pulls a napkin, and is just about to hand it to him, when a voice yells in pain, quieting the party to silence.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsQpgq8Pua
"...What's going on?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WqGEW9Yyt
"I am not sure."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKLKTSOfeZ
"...Boost me."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL55fb3ZFi
"What?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ldTil8ITl
Catherine struggles to climb up Nathaniel. Once she reaches his shoulders, her eyes catch something unexpected.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz94NiwGS8
"It's...Chrono.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3NrCbNhlc
The two push participants out of the way.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN6Lbyn7HS
"I was worried about his hands and..." a girl whispered towards them.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwJR9Ujsyy
"Don't worry, we've got this."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4g9JekUAc
It seems like his Gift was finally coming into play.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUIB5AcEgR
"Chrono...are you alright?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTDw3Wl6xk
Chrono grabs the edge of Catherine's dress to pull himself up.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuMC9mVjKz
"I'm fine, really! My Gift just... activated all on it's own.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWDmL79Qws
As he stands up, everyone could see his Gift's true form. His face was plated halfway with gold, just as his arms were.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡod3yGthJ5i
"But seriously, I'm fine!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlCiWDy5f9
More of his face became jagged.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl2dC8Ztr2
"... Let's go. Nate, you get Arsenio and Isabelle."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZwU7ZaJxT
Catherine pulled Chrono away from the party, taking him back the House of Father Time.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzEKZypQAs
"Okay, Chrono...what happened?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTrL1DNNUp
"I-I think the stress...plus the demonstration from this morning..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9p50CUrQTA
Nathaniel and the others enter the room as more of Chrono's face became encased into more gold. His clothing began to rip as thorns began poking through.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULHX66qCt3
"C-Chrono? Are you okay?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoDNtVBISM
"I-I am f-fine, Prodigies...this is just what happens...It's a little painful, though..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmwjwRRxsm
More barbs rip around his body, horns even start to curve from his head.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1APBlpJ11R
"O-Oh goodness.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWjEPHmGeV
"I just have to...fight it. I can't hurt anyone if..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFM7Pyb7ZKU
His breathing gets heavier than stones.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58nvt8pqK5
"Is there anyone we can get for help?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4im3mrykL
"You don't need to bring anyone. Just...leave before it.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiL2uCbE7d
Without thinking, Chrono threw a glass from a table right beside him.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCH40CPVgAE
"Okay okay! Let's calm down.." Arsenio says, recovering from dodging.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm0eOhY6XU
"I-I can't! It's going to..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdps4jwtigi
The Prodigies prepare themselves, but they were still unprepared for Chrono's unpredictable speed as he dashed at Catherine and threw her out of the window behind them.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqShJhKhmt
Catherine simply used Phasing to break her fall, diving into the floor.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSiNIJTPMS
The voice from before called again. "There she is again!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0cuMN2HmD
"...Who the hell are you? What do you want?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBSB7LHBKK
She saw a stripe of bright cyan wave past her. Catherine tried desperately to find where the line went.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc7fdXeRYN
"...Behind you.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsygJ911qvE
Catherine turned around to see the menacing face of a dragon staring back at her. She was about to take a breath to scream.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17wS0rJmPH
"Hey, don't scream. I just want to know how you got here."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP99FBCrEY
Catherine confusingly looks.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvgSdj72d6
"This is my Gift...I can phase through crap like it's water. I broke my fall from a building.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngEpN0aKe7
"Oh, you must be the person I marked yesterday. Makes sense, I guess.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nN0W2VXhX
"M-Marked?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqofzskyK9j
"That itch you could never satisfy." It points towards Catherine's neck.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1wUtP8lAa
"...Wait, that was you?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspSG4O9k5n
The serpent playfully clears it's throat before bellowing menacingly.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwwGxPQ6Un
"Allow me to become you, and I shall spare your life!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUfjnClDbY
"...Do I get other abilities other than falling through stuff?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuD12GFt2X
The dragon shrugs. "I think so?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoLSeiQ6rE
"Great. Come on then."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEYzTcYTO8
It phases through Catherine, unlocking a surge of energy and power within her.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4oOy25EDT
Catherine climbs out of the dimension as the others were looking for her.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiz6K4y8P6q
"Sorry if I scared you guys.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR57nL7GwAI
"Catherine! Y-you're okay!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq393AmPzg
"Yeah, I just got a new friend."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezRna4YPA6
The dragon only appeared as a ghost coiled around her body.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2quyENGmSk
"And her name is?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt5lXY30Qm
"Not sure.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh7cZ0mEob
Like a ghost, the dragon swapped her soul with Catherine's.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuhtNayEsf
"Piravit. My name is Piravit, the Spiritual Dragon of Phasing. I have chosen Catherine here as my host..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovMnO7dqAs
"Thou is...possessing her.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkriElJpha
"Oh no, she agreed to this. It's more of a symbiotic relationship. I get to go to stay here in her body, and she gets my strength."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tPNm3yXvz
"Cool. Now...about him.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GV57TwR1m
Arsenio points at the shattered window that Catherine fell out of.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2HQmDOgDv
Chrono's roar echoed throughout the realm as he perched on the window.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPXtVjR7Dj
"Oi! You have some explaining to do!"
Catherine says as she takes back control of her body.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIm5cgq0dp
"...Catherine, that's the Time Beast!"
Piravit says as a echoing voice inside her head.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtROkn55Fq
"Eh? That's Chrono, that's just his Gift."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uMl6xiUFU
"Like you, he's been marked. If he sees me with you, he'll kill us both!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi67D53ndye
As on cue, Chrono jumps down right in front of Catherine, as if analyzing her. Then with angry aura, throws her again.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjchyS2pbG
Catherine hits the ground, tumbling.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0QIuqrftl
She struggles to pick herself up, as Chrono runs towards her.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ1k4LB3Qe
"What the hell did you do for him to get pissed off?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcILhAnXC7S
The dragon goes back to it's spiritual state.
"Sooo, about 2,000 years ago...I made a bet with him...I kinda lost said bet and I hid in the Phasing Dimension until someone strong enough could become my host... hehe.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpcab4said
"You have gotta be kidding me!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuqYlthzNO
"But don't worry! I'm sure if we beat him, he'll come to his senses!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF8QLAvToQ
Chrono pulls a punch towards them, only to be stopped by Isabelle's thread.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D54m6LVpc
"C-Chrono! You h-have to come t-to your senses!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEev0KsmVGL
"Get off!" He returns in a ferocious roar as he cuts the thread with his nails. Isabelle, pained, has to step back and catch her breath.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaPJhXddEJ
"I-I'm sorry...I can't k-keep him still..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe79tnJURRr
"It's alright! You've spared me some time!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjexS10n6E0
"Let me take over!" Piravit immediately pulls Catherine out, becoming the one in control.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFt2Ccb9X9
As soon as Chrono began a barrage of punches, Piravit pulls away, but was able to only dodge a few before tanking them.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ29HnxvrtO
"He's way too fast! I can't get a hit on him!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQFjmm8cUZ
As Chrono kept punching her in the chest, Piravit, in Catherine's body, was thinking of ideas, pondering as hard as her breathing.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8sBMgscyT
Piravit begins to punch rapidly in response, until the two stop.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOsMKqEbgR
"I have to say..." Piravit states tauntingly. " You've given me quite the workout since I left my dimension-"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fjfen9t8E
While it's still in the middle of it's sentence, Chrono begins to attack again, as Piravit had to take what seemed to be dozens of punches at once.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraYkuBfCEG
"So, p-playing dirty are we?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEbcSOttlp
Chrono responds with an angry, but silent, glare.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQieM74qDAc
"Great, I like games without rules..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tThN7UYSV
Piravit phases back into the floor. When they return to the Phasing Dimension, the two separate.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4dnsDB8tI
"Okay, so new plan..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvtCjpUsdm
Catherine coughs as she feels the after effects of earlier.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4hWDsc3n5
"You better think of something and fast..."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtVAqeTgAP
"There's one last thing we can do, but you have to follow a specific set of rules and-"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBOmVQuPUC
"Nevermind... I'll figure something out.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2my2G40ceo
Catherine jumps from the dimension and behind Chrono, where she sneakily kicks him.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcqVKhRMOG
Piravit follows shortly behind her.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjaGjTDGR8
She kneels down towards Chrono.
"Well? Are you having fun yet? Not fun being attacked without noticing, huh?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94wVdDi1tB
Chrono swipes at Catherine's arm, barely cutting her.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2QWPclk8F
"...Nah. Didn't think so.." she says, standing up. "Didn't know you'd get this bad.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kHittsw68
She picks him up. "Come on. Let's finish this so you can go back to normal at least. I have things to do.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw53BjU5F2r
Catherine stands in a fighting position.
"I'll only use my power alone."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pORkPIreb
"Then allow me to join you." Arsenio says, standing beside her.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9H4IHdlrKJ
"What are you gonna do, flirt him to death?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi69554fJN
"I actually had something else in mind.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQGaCM9rYT
Arsenio was finally able to conjure a Gift, as an arm cannon faded to fit on top of his hand.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjDpRuIKWm
"I wanted to test this thing, you know?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa6e66PHjA
"...Whatever."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVdlDETnnv
"Come forward..." Chrono says menacingly.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXVyFPy8vf
"Whatever you say, your Majesty."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhaLxiqcNU
As the two-on-one began, more of the participants of the ceremony began to watch from a distance.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPDrfDGrel
"Seems like we've made quite an audience.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eTDiNqOOv
"Let's make this the best coronation the Time Realm has ever seen.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotI7SgVBUa
The two Prodigies went two different directions, hoping for one of them to leave an opening for the other, but Chrono had a few more abilities to use to his disposal.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBojq06bPN6
With a sharp yell, time itself began to slow.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDrILbSNoE
"Damnit! We're stuck until.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90yWVkrdlD
Chrono begins his attack while they're stuck midair within the clutches of time. Catherine can feel the struggle as she tries to move and break herself free, to no avail.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG2hTA5xqq
She feels the true strength of Chrono as he lands multiple attacks, the pain settling in before she could react. Chrono snaps his fingers, releasing time from it's statue. The sharp, deep pains only burned more as she fell.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwaub5XjuY
"...I don't think we're gonna make it if he keeps stopping time like that.." She says, spitting up blood and standing up.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PfJ8EERph
Arsenio reveals the power of his own Gift, as a fiery beam escaped from his hands as a brilliant red. It took Chrono's mind off of Catherine as he tries to block the flame beam with his bare arms.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQ8DJ8eTUj
Catherine jumps up.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpdQrmFoH4
"You're welcome!" Arsenio says from afar.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIon0kmj9H
"Thanks! Keep looking for openings!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8L9DHgHQfg
As Arsenio keeps circling the area, and the crowd becomes more congested, Catherine continues to fight, dodging and landing punches. She even managed to crack the golden frame that latched onto Chrono's face. The both of them couldn't tell if they were trembling from fatigue or excitement. Their legs were just about to give in, when Chrono stops attacking.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4nXPCGEoJ
"A-alright...you've proven your worth.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7IZ83XWZl
"Is this Chrono we're speaking to?" Arsenio asks as his Gift charges up once again and picks Catherine up.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tfZhAxqp0
"I-I'm not sure.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJqVlOw5aH
"Make sure you're sure. I'd hate to hit you with this thing for no reason."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz2HwQHGm1
"I'm in the conscious of Chrono yes, but..." he looks at his hands and feels against face. "I don't know what body I'm in anymore.."
More cracks split the golden covering, from head to toe.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQLaedTRgf
Chrono shakes his head. "N-nevermind! Let us continue with the celebration, yes?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW8SPll9m7
"To be honest, I'm worn out..."
Catherine huffed. "You're like...crazy strong."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uamvl1yTO
"I-I'll make it up to you, I swear!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS1menM2O6
Piravit peeks from the floor. "Can I come out now?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lwtMmTXle
"Depends.." Chrono says. "Are you willing to take your side of the deal?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8tvbIH9zR
"Eep!" Piravit says, coiling itself around Catherine and hiding behind her. "A-Ah! My part of the deal...?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhNi1D49Hs
"You shall give me full entry to your dimension. That was your promise to me."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1FDlBhsXu
"...Fine. But you can't keep using Chrono as a vessel for your battles."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zcQB9pXSW
Chrono stares for a second, before hitting the ground, parts of his golden shell chipping off.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KRcRintc4
The Time Beast appears as a ghost, similar to Piravit, above Chrono's body. His body pulls from the floor, as he dusts himself off.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZrlhGriNF
"He's suppressed his power...I think."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7WTB7Q7sD
"Wait, they have a gender?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfyvI20Iwa
"Yeah..." Piravit answered. "It is quite obvious that I'm female. No whiskers, see?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29VMl78oDS
"I guess.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2odWAkaBBy
"Catherine! Arsenio!" Isabelle says, stumbling her own feet. "A-Are you two alright?"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TvyI5oBXC
"I'm good. Not sure about Catherine though."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2lekspwAM
"Nah, I'll be alright. I don't think he broke anything."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBKHJ8pnIp
Nathaniel also approaches them with another tart in hand.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7Hxeq3TU8
"Nate! You just had one of those things!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdUCsSgGEn
"I must try every single flavor." He says taking another giant bite.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWGXAF8pIb
"..M-Maybe we should g-go.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNA3JamlCx
"Are you sure? We can just...continue the party as normal.."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxmYOSu5yq
Arsenio shrugs. "Seems like a plan to me."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUt69250nf
Slowly, the music begins to play. Partners begin to group together. It was like the party was uninterrupted the entire time.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwUmMZdX6J
The Prodigies were peppered with compliments of their strength, but eventually, the other participants calmed down and went back to chat amongst themselves. The Prodigies had fun eating and dancing to the music that wafted throughout the realm air.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnUmlx037g
After the party, the Prodigies carried Chrono back into the House of Father Time.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mntkliuC0
"Thank you, you four. Hopefully I can get around with solving some of your Timebreaker problems sometime!"
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn4ZIszYHi
"We'd greatly appreciate it. We don't know how strong the next one'll be."
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAwG9R8pY4
Chrono waves them away as they go back to the Sanctuary. Ezra was already asleep when they returned, wrapped up in a blanket.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9whBvCGvK
"Well, we should get some rest too."
Catherine announced.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxN6gmmT1b
"Way ahead of you." Arsenio says, dropping into the bed.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWS6HZwjti
Everyone puts themselves to bed for the night, and the Prodigies fall asleep.
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDqEB0Je6K
Silently, in the middle of the night, someone's Tempural Energy swarmed the room...
462Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1wK8IpbRl
