"Rise and shine, Prodigies!" Verna's peppy voice awoken the group. "Let's get ready for the coronation of Father Time today!"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNg6dupO1s
Catherine scratches her neck as she pushes the quilt off. "Coronation?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJYuLIsMjv
"Apparently, a new Father Time is to be crowned today." Nathaniel states, stretching.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OK7mX9rb9
"Your mission today is to just watch over the new guy before the celebration begins. Pretty easy, right?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1PsIb1448
"Wait...our job today is to be a goddamn babysitter?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF2JzdCAg9
"If that's how you view it, yes. But as a reward, you get to go to the after-party!"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO3umD2nP3
"That at least solves dinner..." Ezra thinks aloud.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnHz5HiMOl
"Breakfast will be served once you get there, so just put on your clothes and shoes and...look a little presentable.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq2zTu4Mg3
"No prob.." Arsenio says. "Let me just get my morning tea before I go.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2PlllQCQM
"T-Tea?" Isabelle asks while brushing her hair.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkddunJ40X4
"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."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYSi1abJ7p
"...Alright then..." Arsenio says, slowly sitting down and sliding his hands in his coat pockets. "I'll just wait until later then.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUCjw30XvH
"Is everyone ready?" Verna asks, peeking into the room as she does so.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy19ixJDQo3
"I think so.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vNHzPUutK
"Good, good!" she fully opens the doors to let the Prodigies out. "Then, let's go, shall we?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXOVCYtLYq
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs5A0VqHJE
"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."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrfM2G4QSn
"...Is it because he's blonde?" Catherine remarked.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MPW610TPD
"... That might have had a influence on the nickname, yes."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQljfIeDu6j
They watched as walked stone faced across to the home of Father Time.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9bCXdXSPp
"Let's go." Verna says, instructing them to follow Chrono.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUR2cj6Q7C
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFLK9Tm51T
"Hello?" Catherine waited for a response.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRhR6MZtZQ
"J-Just a minute!" A voice called out before crashing and falling is heard. Then, from the stairs emerged Chrono.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSClhopTUIS
"Verna, very nice to see you again. And these four might be?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hzuPy8bUM
"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."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGw3HvVWgS
"I see..."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UvpGzanbF
"Thanks again for doing this, guys."
Verna time warps away.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5YueKqqbD
"...Which one of you is which? I just don't want to be confused.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJYQCdOrMD
They introduce themselves once again, giving him some clarity.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6pQuuQBJx
"Ah, well it's nice to meet all of you."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstw1uwlNFL
"Verna t-told us that w-we would have s-some breakfast.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIavFr8aB0
"Of course. You've come here quite early, so I'm sure you four are starving."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c0JOwcG7E
"Yeah..." Catherine agreed, lightly holding her stomach.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVjL5gWk1M
"I thought so. I've prepared something, so don't worry."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ5lWBIZiw
Chrono brandishes a golden door, which he promptly throws open and reveals some nice breakfast meals, already plated and ready to eat.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfDLcDf02V
"You m-made all of this yourself?!" Catherine exclaimed, impressed.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnjFfaUvRL
"I was just planning on making food for myself, but I didn't want to be rude.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCiQEBweWN
"It does look rather...delectable..." Nathaniel says, clearing his throat.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAnovuerAd
"Well, shall we eat or watch it get cold?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIhjyEgHSc
The four Prodigies and the Son of Time all sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast, basically wolfing down the entire plate before them.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rK7YxzALi
"Man, that was good..." Arsenio says, stretching in his seat.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCD7ZmRxKR
"I'm glad you enjoyed. It's very difficult to find people who enjoy similar interests to me."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EzduZiOVX
"Now what? Do you just read books and whatnot?" Catherine asked, taking the last sip of her drink.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPVZyDNN7E
"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.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uuMzYX0dj
"Then why not join us? From what we've experienced, we certainly need the help." Arsenio asks, leaned back in his chair.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6SH5e6xwu
"I was never suited for things like that, unfortunately..." Chrono sighs. "My Gift is also a little...hard to control."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KjuDygohr
"...Can we see it?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS6acnHg8Y
Chrono begins to rub his arms as guilt and embarrassment threw itself on his face.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCAilqZcMa
"You can say no, you know..." Catherine speaks. "No one's forcing you."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdfGS6ZRoa
"It's...complicated."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYTH7jSTUW
"That's u-understandable...I have a Gift I can't quite c-control myself..."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6tGZTdHaJ
Dawlly immediately pops itself out of Isabelle's pocket with an annoyed look.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQKKBfXUCm
"I-It's true..." she looks at Dawlly with the same annoyed look.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnXD2bh0CO
"Interesting.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjccwvZXIz
"Is there anything else you like to do other than read and fantasize?" Catherine asks.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQGzbtXlpJ
"I like to learn more about my Gift."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Mho6TiO3t
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6aMfD0mZX
"O-oh my.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzObVryAHn
"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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0km2HLnYFJ
"So, what's your Gift? I'm sure you four have gotten one.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzIK6WPxR3
Catherine nudges Nathaniel. "You show yours first. You're the supposed leader."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiuPZIJ3BK
"I have never said that I was a leader..."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNioO34B6iW
"W-Well..." Isabelle added. "You d-do know the most out of all of us..."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SRBZW5Jp7
"...Fine.." Nathaniel reluctantly agrees.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTysogY2xP
First, his arm, then up to his shoulder, until his entire body was covered in armor.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRcpFlE8Cv
"You never told me you could do that.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jWne4kI9C
"I feel as if there is... no need to use the full Gift. It is...uncomfortable.." He speaks from within the suit.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi9NoHTaPM
"Well, get the hell out of it then..."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzLPz5Bc4e
He removes himself from the armor, reverting back to his velvet clothes.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDXqHIqy9m
"Well, since thou wants to assume roles, maybe thou would like to go next, co-leader?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1oYZQdFib
"Of course you pin this crap on me.." Catherine growled. "But sure, why not?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7K4L1SLkk
She slips through her chair, and all the way through the floor.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfUbEFxb50
It was like she was in her own dimension, her escape from reality. She swam around as she heard the others from above.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vpQzR1P7M
That's when she heard a voice calling her name from the distance.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY68dCgOVk
"Hello?" The voice creepily whispered.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvw3tcsxRnG
"The hell?" She exclaimed. That freaked her out enough to pull herself out of the Phasing dimension.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK6w9gmDim
She gasped, as if she was underwater when she crawled out.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbvNvht74O
"You alright? You've been in the floor for quite a while..." Arsenio mentioned.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm6CtD7GGr
"...Yeah, something just... freaked me out.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTagmIekeAW
She slides back in her seat...
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImQHgdNeVp
"I-I'll go next..." Isabelle announces. Within seconds, the threads began pulling themselves out of her sleeves.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0KbGEGj8A
"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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUW5MenkPu
"I just had to wake up today! Is it wrong to get some sleep around here?!"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjp4gLNzCrr
Dawlly smiles innocently as Isabelle continues to roar.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyEIqghufc
"Don't worry, I've got this.." Arsenio stands up. "Trust me, my charm is irresistible."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTOjQGYwbt
He grabs her wrists, looks her deep into her eyes..
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr66rTaJf6
"Ah, great..." Catherine grumbled, rolling her eyes.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyD7H4XqaI
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that you look adorable when you're angry?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu81iRFtXw2
Isabelle, easily flustered and caught off guard, immediately snaps back to her timid self.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q9gPYb9p9
"See?" He points out. "It's like a secret perk I have." He starts throwing up two pieces of jewelry.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dA8EqLMwP
Isabelle immediately feels her ears.
"M-my earrings!"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFeFGwdFIs
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."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4lMmiNd03
Isabelle just kept turning red as she puts back on her earrings.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT3nWUgLIG
"So, you yourself do not have a Gift just yet, Arsenio?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkBqNkBiCR
"I haven't really felt anything, so no...I think."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymoEl8wY3A
Outside, bells begin to ring. Chrono looks up at the clock sitting across the room from him on the wall.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0Qa0vbedK
"Ah...only an hour left..."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqfzAlgPAe
"Is there anything else thou wants to say to us before thou becomes Father Time?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DwvvQ0tZ1
"Use your Gift well, and I hope we get to see each other more in the future."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWnpNhVwwM
Chrono smiles genuinely.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m7XAvs1IV
"So, what now?" Arsenio says, picking his teeth.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdnUqyhHcv
"Well, if you four are attending the ceremony, you'll have to be properly dressed."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vJkpe0x69
"Well, Verna could've told us that earlier.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UXiGu246e
"Don't worry, we have a public closet full of gowns and suits for you to wear."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04lZwja0mw
Chrono stands up, leads them upstairs and pulls open a closet door.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuX6RPZE4Ne
There were attire in every color of the rainbow.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErkIEL1J4l
"Hey, now this is nice!" Catherine says, walking into the spacious closet.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhVYvkPLdA
"Don't be afraid to pick whatever you want!" Chrono says, leaving.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YkqPSC78d
Trying to decide what attire to wear, the Prodigies pick the most extravagant and dazzling outfit that fit them the most.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Kspt80ENc
The four take turns putting on their new clothes, which gleamed and twinkled in the light. Once the four return to the closet.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGqPkdLvb7
"Looking nice girls.." Arsenio says.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25THoLYjlz
"These shoes are gonna kill me later, but yeah, thanks.."
Catherine complained.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jk4V9TLgJ
"Now that that portion has been completed.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFPjPMzNXY
Nathaniel grabs Arsenio by the shoulder.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf18GmxtEv
"Arsenio. Thou shall come with me."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKYU0o8kf6
He drags him away.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjwduMrZOm
"Hey uh, Nathaniel, what are you trying to do?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAxHeuVi4G
"We must fix this hair of thine.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N7I4thGVQ
"Wait...Nate no, my hair is fine-"
Nathaniel pulls Arsenio outside.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEPucbnHlH
"Well, it w-wouldn't be too wrong to d-do the same, would it?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN56V6bhVL
"No, we can take turns doing each other's hair. That seems hella fun!"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmWEMN3q9d
"O-okay!"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVln5jTahiN
Isabelle finds some combs, brushes, and hair accessories.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVsHjJjKK6
"N-now, what kind of hairstyle would you want?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqbY3O0Lvb
"Something simple, I guess. Not trying to impress anyone.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgPFFRnsxk
Isabelle gets to unbraiding Catherine's hair, carefully and gracefully taking it apart. In the middle of brushing however, Isabelle stops.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwzCukLXCK
"Uhm...Catherine?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnBgBD1iz1
"Yeah?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPh9wMdxPV
"There's a m-mark or something...on your neck.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIw5a9rMaY
"Huh? What does it look like?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX6IgJq18s
"It l-looks like something scratched you... you didn't g-get attacked b-by anything, did you?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7RX3tXq6r
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.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN91rZkXenm
"D-Do you have any allergies?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd3ySF0bBD
"I'm not supposed to."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMaQsHru8I
"...Oh my.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujRNEiFbvT
"I'm not too worried about it... it'll clear up soon..."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxS36OD6iB
"...If you say so.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS77fXrRw3Z
Isabelle continues to brush and straighten Catherine's hair. Before she knew it, Isabelle was already putting a flower pin neatly upon her head.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2yAISKCqG
Isabelle puts a mirror in front of her face. "T-Tada!"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxYz5FS5QZ
"Oh damn. That's actually really good."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nTM5afrmC
"T-thank you.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdrkUN5qH7
They switch positions, with Catherine sitting behind Isabelle to do her hair.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeSf1updye
"Is there anything specific you want to get?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ciLiC7Fs3
"U-Uhm.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTduaEeAtYM
"Oh wait, I actually learned how to do this one hairstyle, French roll or something like that?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAwpoCzFH9
"Okay, that one t-then.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeWnhG2J5C
"Alright."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm3qKpOcAA
Catherine gathers all of Isabelle's hair, pulling it together, wrapping it around itself, until it looks like the hairstyle.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp1nuT720X
"Crap, I don't have any hair pins.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNl9RN7GyD
"D-don't worry, I have a backup.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHLpG82UBC
With her Gift, Isabelle sews the updo together until it fits securely, then places her own pin into her head.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCla7YbKcF
"...That works too.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9YUU2RLo8
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb2ikNtZeH
"I still don't get why you did this, it was fine as it is.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5QSlJvf15
"Trust me, thou would rather look like this."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkVpiOh4cb
"I see the boys didn't have a good time picking out hairstyles." Catherine taunted.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLScJQyuC56
"T-They do seem to be in a debate.." Isabelle added.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrcVuLaseM
"It's gonna take forever to put my hair back now.." Arsenio protested.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZsfY3z9WR
"Let's not w-worry about that... we're supposed t-to have fun.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoeYgKLr96
"Yeah, I guess that's true..."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwqEebUciv
There was thirty more minutes left. Still plenty of time to waste. Chrono comes back to check on them.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm4lKl8kSr
"Ah, looking exquisite Prodigies!" Chrono praises them. "I'm sure you'll be the best looking ones out there!"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCxojsXGj1
"Eh, I doubt it, but I feel a lot prettier in this poofy thing.." Catherine flutters the ends of her dress.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2Gju9HHv9
"Ah, don't be so modest, you look great!"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtjk7dzQHl
"Well, we still have lots of time. What should we do until then?" Arsenio asks.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uY9gto5ta
"Why wait?" Chrono asks. "I can manipulate time at will. I'll just skip time a few minutes.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7POn9n6Ya
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugnDeSfHas
"...That was...strange."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdciHfAhkc0
"Let's go. The ceremony's about to start."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk801uSPy5v
Catherine pushes Chrono out of the door. "We're right behind you, don't worry."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pEBBDQEkP
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CqomdBka9
The crowd begins to applaud as Verna appears behind Chrono. She clears her throat.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8swyAR1DZ
"Welcome everyone, to Chrono's coronation. It's been a while since we've had one of these, huh?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzX0Gs0gzF
The crowd erupted into light laughter.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyWkqyNmza
"Anyways," she continued. "let's get to the best part."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7QQtRvphP
She turns Chrono around, hold his hands gently.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EUzI8rZ4E
"Do you solemnly swear, as long as you live, that you will fairly rule over the Time Realm?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkTpCwigjz
Chrono silently nods.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnORzJyD7K
Verna releases his hands, opens her own, and in them, appears an extravagant crown which seemed to glow in the light.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3znBv7K8i
"Well then," she places it upon his head. "..you are now Father Time."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ120Bo9w9z
Everyone explodes into cheers. The Prodigies couldn't help but clap along.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68E4hyeYd1
"Now, let us commence. Grab a partner, for the party is about to begin!"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7WuQrXJGT
Groups begin to pull apart into parties of two, music begins to fade in.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6Ha1pIJtU
Catherine feels fluttery from the tension.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo68z5IDtiL
"...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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ948aqNaCYB
"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."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3SWpJtQS0
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtotimQzsN2
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyIRvktC4A
"Does thou plan to do this at every party?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJr4h4mlbx
Catherine finds the source of the tension. She knew Nathaniel was standing behind her the entire time. Without looking back, she responds.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQjQM3x9td
"I don't have anything else to do. Why'd you follow me anyway?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkEgj9e5AK
"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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuCEuTAzTm
"Nate, you dumbass..."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGtEUWqRQG
"Hm?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNMHeT7MLP
"You have jam and crap all over your face.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRfwcED9zE
She pulls a napkin, and is just about to hand it to him, when a voice yells in pain, quieting the party to silence.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31jVaQRXz1
"...What's going on?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIQJFO2TzL
"I am not sure."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uAoJBnByQ
"...Boost me."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxpw1zDNEZ
"What?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuioY6XuE7G
Catherine struggles to climb up Nathaniel. Once she reaches his shoulders, her eyes catch something unexpected.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTp2T7pIEa
"It's...Chrono.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0uSmjBMay
The two push participants out of the way.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tsL1xp3ON
"I was worried about his hands and..." a girl whispered towards them.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYtBaHunM5
"Don't worry, we've got this."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDIQUrAE0L
It seems like his Gift was finally coming into play.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5jkHzMDS3
"Chrono...are you alright?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtLDkNeG0G
Chrono grabs the edge of Catherine's dress to pull himself up.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQiqOWB8y4
"I'm fine, really! My Gift just... activated all on it's own.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp3ANfsnrg
As he stands up, everyone could see his Gift's true form. His face was plated halfway with gold, just as his arms were.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqJS3WVgWS
"But seriously, I'm fine!"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g4QWr3aB0
More of his face became jagged.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzzKmN46LL
"... Let's go. Nate, you get Arsenio and Isabelle."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzbbMKO3fg
Catherine pulled Chrono away from the party, taking him back the House of Father Time.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3THn84LTD
"Okay, Chrono...what happened?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpneFxELk1Y
"I-I think the stress...plus the demonstration from this morning..."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcqwMZXgVw
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RNrNLedcP
"C-Chrono? Are you okay?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnJ7Oh5ikY
"I-I am f-fine, Prodigies...this is just what happens...It's a little painful, though..."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AOwhljRY8
More barbs rip around his body, horns even start to curve from his head.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmzHHP03DF
"O-Oh goodness.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa6cXLoaxY
"I just have to...fight it. I can't hurt anyone if..."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEqsjj80ri
His breathing gets heavier than stones.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6BQEQS8Ju
"Is there anyone we can get for help?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡves8UOZXQ9
"You don't need to bring anyone. Just...leave before it.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ1Yy5jUwk
Without thinking, Chrono threw a glass from a table right beside him.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUgiZOINg0
"Okay okay! Let's calm down.." Arsenio says, recovering from dodging.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6Dvvjlan6
"I-I can't! It's going to..."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPRVRrC1ZA
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlbqWnYOEb
Catherine simply used Phasing to break her fall, diving into the floor.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYkhrAjc2c
The voice from before called again. "There she is again!"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJCO9NBoMm
"...Who the hell are you? What do you want?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRmoI7rZYG
She saw a stripe of bright cyan wave past her. Catherine tried desperately to find where the line went.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNkAWW4rO7
"...Behind you.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqhDzNieJv
Catherine turned around to see the menacing face of a dragon staring back at her. She was about to take a breath to scream.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCncRzIFpVO
"Hey, don't scream. I just want to know how you got here."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97UZbjr9NU
Catherine confusingly looks.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz48DxEsxGA
"This is my Gift...I can phase through crap like it's water. I broke my fall from a building.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I9xrNMNM0
"Oh, you must be the person I marked yesterday. Makes sense, I guess.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBxj1jgzpH
"M-Marked?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ271nFdSypK
"That itch you could never satisfy." It points towards Catherine's neck.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3qExHEJ8b
"...Wait, that was you?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoPRr4HlDm
The serpent playfully clears it's throat before bellowing menacingly.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cThOlsro8
"Allow me to become you, and I shall spare your life!"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7wFKwIGfA
"...Do I get other abilities other than falling through stuff?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6u2ADjmg3
The dragon shrugs. "I think so?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCD11JLnU9
"Great. Come on then."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgBFcOEDsv
It phases through Catherine, unlocking a surge of energy and power within her.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUX4OIQQxt
Catherine climbs out of the dimension as the others were looking for her.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYfwJMyivP
"Sorry if I scared you guys.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocTh3BN9Fc
"Catherine! Y-you're okay!"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMrZr8zlpU
"Yeah, I just got a new friend."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuQ7xXxhYI
The dragon only appeared as a ghost coiled around her body.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR2FN0CYX6
"And her name is?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgI0V9P7w3
"Not sure.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXG8ISzFfe
Like a ghost, the dragon swapped her soul with Catherine's.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡod4paOAhpE
"Piravit. My name is Piravit, the Spiritual Dragon of Phasing. I have chosen Catherine here as my host..."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFl3WehxjO
"Thou is...possessing her.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOexks8WO46
"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."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpPdE6ExHN
"Cool. Now...about him.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Kq5Ei85H7
Arsenio points at the shattered window that Catherine fell out of.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP99rPkdYgz
Chrono's roar echoed throughout the realm as he perched on the window.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdttjVfnuY
"Oi! You have some explaining to do!"
Catherine says as she takes back control of her body.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoGdhfB1Q6
"...Catherine, that's the Time Beast!"
Piravit says as a echoing voice inside her head.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiWyCHv6Fq
"Eh? That's Chrono, that's just his Gift."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHROIhFoUp
"Like you, he's been marked. If he sees me with you, he'll kill us both!"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGbCb8cvQN
As on cue, Chrono jumps down right in front of Catherine, as if analyzing her. Then with angry aura, throws her again.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNbATkBzyu
Catherine hits the ground, tumbling.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMIeOJ6J3R
She struggles to pick herself up, as Chrono runs towards her.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6IKKHGa2O
"What the hell did you do for him to get pissed off?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAqFUC7Ecq
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.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyNyL2skj2
"You have gotta be kidding me!"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5Q0QLmnjX
"But don't worry! I'm sure if we beat him, he'll come to his senses!"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIKNSv4DMe
Chrono pulls a punch towards them, only to be stopped by Isabelle's thread.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkHc8Sx7IE
"C-Chrono! You h-have to come t-to your senses!"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4Oi5J5q8H
"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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J61RVFNgd
"I-I'm sorry...I can't k-keep him still..."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ijHkY2RCW
"It's alright! You've spared me some time!"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQjaZcuQe6
"Let me take over!" Piravit immediately pulls Catherine out, becoming the one in control.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmouTi5r1d
As soon as Chrono began a barrage of punches, Piravit pulls away, but was able to only dodge a few before tanking them.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3RgIQYNyI
"He's way too fast! I can't get a hit on him!"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Rcpg9dIjQ
As Chrono kept punching her in the chest, Piravit, in Catherine's body, was thinking of ideas, pondering as hard as her breathing.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n85nNUyQt
Piravit begins to punch rapidly in response, until the two stop.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNASHpZvDj3
"I have to say..." Piravit states tauntingly. " You've given me quite the workout since I left my dimension-"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2yec6oxjO
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXIP8fQGmT
"So, p-playing dirty are we?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8euMfpcAR4
Chrono responds with an angry, but silent, glare.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlQI61icJT
"Great, I like games without rules..."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprHo4PgQXM
Piravit phases back into the floor. When they return to the Phasing Dimension, the two separate.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN71IxPB3bV
"Okay, so new plan..."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrePgvEsg1G
Catherine coughs as she feels the after effects of earlier.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl5MOYG7hx
"You better think of something and fast..."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0auXqoLVGd
"There's one last thing we can do, but you have to follow a specific set of rules and-"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6lCePk59W
"Nevermind... I'll figure something out.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce7bSE2ASQ
Catherine jumps from the dimension and behind Chrono, where she sneakily kicks him.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfkQcHTtxu
Piravit follows shortly behind her.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89bGGahes7
She kneels down towards Chrono.
"Well? Are you having fun yet? Not fun being attacked without noticing, huh?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmM65Wusnq
Chrono swipes at Catherine's arm, barely cutting her.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYx8NP5W6d
"...Nah. Didn't think so.." she says, standing up. "Didn't know you'd get this bad.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDU5BRtqQf
She picks him up. "Come on. Let's finish this so you can go back to normal at least. I have things to do.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWasKZpVrZH
Catherine stands in a fighting position.
"I'll only use my power alone."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMB9rZAn1CT
"Then allow me to join you." Arsenio says, standing beside her.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RvJzMTOWo
"What are you gonna do, flirt him to death?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsXmKMgDZS
"I actually had something else in mind.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeBwdkUijC
Arsenio was finally able to conjure a Gift, as an arm cannon faded to fit on top of his hand.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2mvagUM9B
"I wanted to test this thing, you know?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWOiRkblJU
"...Whatever."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ml9QrkIpX
"Come forward..." Chrono says menacingly.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0BgYTNOxx
"Whatever you say, your Majesty."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu0nfcgyOm
As the two-on-one began, more of the participants of the ceremony began to watch from a distance.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1xYEvD0BW
"Seems like we've made quite an audience.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3SSUgLyc4
"Let's make this the best coronation the Time Realm has ever seen.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAW3NxgmW4
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXM80mpURgJ
With a sharp yell, time itself began to slow.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UPmUobrkR
"Damnit! We're stuck until.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tfA6FUqzo
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2v7h8Ah5n
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo74w5mLCYD
"...I don't think we're gonna make it if he keeps stopping time like that.." She says, spitting up blood and standing up.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQv4H50VwPQ
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOc5E30Ea2
Catherine jumps up.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4FSnpNrmA
"You're welcome!" Arsenio says from afar.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MgQqBDw4V
"Thanks! Keep looking for openings!"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpLPd0TNHM
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAvlfobIKY
"A-alright...you've proven your worth.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozRWHC8kom
"Is this Chrono we're speaking to?" Arsenio asks as his Gift charges up once again and picks Catherine up.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwheAbcbTPa
"I-I'm not sure.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOvaBOkgaf
"Make sure you're sure. I'd hate to hit you with this thing for no reason."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarMWlMRUr5
"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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZfRLT87fK
Chrono shakes his head. "N-nevermind! Let us continue with the celebration, yes?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPFcVleQoo
"To be honest, I'm worn out..."
Catherine huffed. "You're like...crazy strong."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaGCpIsdZ4
"I-I'll make it up to you, I swear!"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8Zd9UGrZY
Piravit peeks from the floor. "Can I come out now?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvusNaPpfT
"Depends.." Chrono says. "Are you willing to take your side of the deal?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7coSIBDUK
"Eep!" Piravit says, coiling itself around Catherine and hiding behind her. "A-Ah! My part of the deal...?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2bCcfWqOo
"You shall give me full entry to your dimension. That was your promise to me."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRzAwBdHy4
"...Fine. But you can't keep using Chrono as a vessel for your battles."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixEJwfhoJ5
Chrono stares for a second, before hitting the ground, parts of his golden shell chipping off.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEra15JwdlW
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoplJJRzVZ
"He's suppressed his power...I think."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQUxKWjBql
"Wait, they have a gender?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK3oiCFJEE
"Yeah..." Piravit answered. "It is quite obvious that I'm female. No whiskers, see?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z9718sXWK
"I guess.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQREyNAYLs
"Catherine! Arsenio!" Isabelle says, stumbling her own feet. "A-Are you two alright?"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17ZsagQCnh
"I'm good. Not sure about Catherine though."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmeO1cl73P
"Nah, I'll be alright. I don't think he broke anything."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa2IZ8tR7n
Nathaniel also approaches them with another tart in hand.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXxxQLN28L
"Nate! You just had one of those things!"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q82ZHFQSb
"I must try every single flavor." He says taking another giant bite.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfP5aY1YxPk
"..M-Maybe we should g-go.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEvVLNKkoF
"Are you sure? We can just...continue the party as normal.."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrPDXwJfoB
Arsenio shrugs. "Seems like a plan to me."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3AYi45YOG
Slowly, the music begins to play. Partners begin to group together. It was like the party was uninterrupted the entire time.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGKFPvdl0P
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.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2x41Xk64Y
After the party, the Prodigies carried Chrono back into the House of Father Time.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ480CVF6XG
"Thank you, you four. Hopefully I can get around with solving some of your Timebreaker problems sometime!"
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMvSI3wDYn
"We'd greatly appreciate it. We don't know how strong the next one'll be."
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIbCXCm4mF
Chrono waves them away as they go back to the Sanctuary. Ezra was already asleep when they returned, wrapped up in a blanket.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90Jge17duW
"Well, we should get some rest too."
Catherine announced.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIIq9ROAMb
"Way ahead of you." Arsenio says, dropping into the bed.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66cbqJCI2O
Everyone puts themselves to bed for the night, and the Prodigies fall asleep.
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6dRMegtF0
Silently, in the middle of the night, someone's Tempural Energy swarmed the room...
508Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC6R77hwDA
