"Rise and shine, Prodigies!" Verna's peppy voice awoken the group. "Let's get ready for the coronation of Father Time today!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEguGAVnWBb
Catherine scratches her neck as she pushes the quilt off. "Coronation?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWERc6dNtAk
"Apparently, a new Father Time is to be crowned today." Nathaniel states, stretching.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2UJr80bNP
"Your mission today is to just watch over the new guy before the celebration begins. Pretty easy, right?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZx52oQACQ
"Wait...our job today is to be a goddamn babysitter?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKdomaS4FA
"If that's how you view it, yes. But as a reward, you get to go to the after-party!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJthi0L5vFV
"That at least solves dinner..." Ezra thinks aloud.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYB1QylW2T
"Breakfast will be served once you get there, so just put on your clothes and shoes and...look a little presentable.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrmHE9IWe7
"No prob.." Arsenio says. "Let me just get my morning tea before I go.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJddgx6HB7K
"T-Tea?" Isabelle asks while brushing her hair.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGZ1UpLPEf
"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."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrlfwlu9OC
"...Alright then..." Arsenio says, slowly sitting down and sliding his hands in his coat pockets. "I'll just wait until later then.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KjAXj5n5C
"Is everyone ready?" Verna asks, peeking into the room as she does so.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpN3yqaYTq
"I think so.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwBxZ4pHa0
"Good, good!" she fully opens the doors to let the Prodigies out. "Then, let's go, shall we?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuVg3XJluQ
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.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKCXN9SFaf
"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."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7nP5wB1EX
"...Is it because he's blonde?" Catherine remarked.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zXA3nVk2u
"... That might have had a influence on the nickname, yes."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ228emWp5L1
They watched as walked stone faced across to the home of Father Time.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE2fYTYqdv
"Let's go." Verna says, instructing them to follow Chrono.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1HUXxkpn9
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.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7UzH3WZdf
"Hello?" Catherine waited for a response.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j6sKknY9C
"J-Just a minute!" A voice called out before crashing and falling is heard. Then, from the stairs emerged Chrono.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtSF5Z5Bvm
"Verna, very nice to see you again. And these four might be?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqT9Y5JGvH
"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."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Waj1R3R3O
"I see..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBfv0sZz1M
"Thanks again for doing this, guys."
Verna time warps away.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerNdED03IM
"...Which one of you is which? I just don't want to be confused.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjh2IPJYxm
They introduce themselves once again, giving him some clarity.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AyrxdWU7f
"Ah, well it's nice to meet all of you."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVxfxUVuhE
"Verna t-told us that w-we would have s-some breakfast.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xUsSmGcV7
"Of course. You've come here quite early, so I'm sure you four are starving."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5d6cBzrwu
"Yeah..." Catherine agreed, lightly holding her stomach.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyIQhLf0ta
"I thought so. I've prepared something, so don't worry."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN7VC2qe32
Chrono brandishes a golden door, which he promptly throws open and reveals some nice breakfast meals, already plated and ready to eat.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkySirHVdXf
"You m-made all of this yourself?!" Catherine exclaimed, impressed.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbxevgCPZ3
"I was just planning on making food for myself, but I didn't want to be rude.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlp8xPqyYS5
"It does look rather...delectable..." Nathaniel says, clearing his throat.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSXcVZr2AV
"Well, shall we eat or watch it get cold?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIfwkX2QBR
The four Prodigies and the Son of Time all sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast, basically wolfing down the entire plate before them.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoTDbyjQEz
"Man, that was good..." Arsenio says, stretching in his seat.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWRTuqqU0x
"I'm glad you enjoyed. It's very difficult to find people who enjoy similar interests to me."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5iZmo14Z9
"Now what? Do you just read books and whatnot?" Catherine asked, taking the last sip of her drink.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZfrIAD6s3
"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.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhxnxOU2km
"Then why not join us? From what we've experienced, we certainly need the help." Arsenio asks, leaned back in his chair.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFlecXUDg4
"I was never suited for things like that, unfortunately..." Chrono sighs. "My Gift is also a little...hard to control."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwrOZUuXu8
"...Can we see it?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO28KrJfuG
Chrono begins to rub his arms as guilt and embarrassment threw itself on his face.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxIQubIGKj
"You can say no, you know..." Catherine speaks. "No one's forcing you."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUgpGhv1b3
"It's...complicated."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9z3ks6xBfE
"That's u-understandable...I have a Gift I can't quite c-control myself..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRssOJQFKeP
Dawlly immediately pops itself out of Isabelle's pocket with an annoyed look.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnRyauJDvS
"I-It's true..." she looks at Dawlly with the same annoyed look.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrY4g4zTTj
"Interesting.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1ZaDB4XqF
"Is there anything else you like to do other than read and fantasize?" Catherine asks.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCLwaNyT9l
"I like to learn more about my Gift."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Gw22BKX8Y
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.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzVh1e5tlI
"O-oh my.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvbaGV1p9c
"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.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHikXhHpi3s
"So, what's your Gift? I'm sure you four have gotten one.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8Gw05W0tU
Catherine nudges Nathaniel. "You show yours first. You're the supposed leader."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQivymrmTw
"I have never said that I was a leader..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLpKhlKJrq
"W-Well..." Isabelle added. "You d-do know the most out of all of us..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2E0dSMNao
"...Fine.." Nathaniel reluctantly agrees.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhm96ldr7F
First, his arm, then up to his shoulder, until his entire body was covered in armor.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6NeOX79XQ
"You never told me you could do that.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboQPknuvFn
"I feel as if there is... no need to use the full Gift. It is...uncomfortable.." He speaks from within the suit.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs2nX7vVBU
"Well, get the hell out of it then..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp45LtP1EbI
He removes himself from the armor, reverting back to his velvet clothes.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nn2LfTdKB
"Well, since thou wants to assume roles, maybe thou would like to go next, co-leader?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDNkQ2y9zq
"Of course you pin this crap on me.." Catherine growled. "But sure, why not?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkkKOMt9lT
She slips through her chair, and all the way through the floor.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBUaJBxlGf
It was like she was in her own dimension, her escape from reality. She swam around as she heard the others from above.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ytx4KYm3h
That's when she heard a voice calling her name from the distance.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFrFmW0AC4
"Hello?" The voice creepily whispered.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiKdDmi0LG
"The hell?" She exclaimed. That freaked her out enough to pull herself out of the Phasing dimension.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjxpJ8KXFr
She gasped, as if she was underwater when she crawled out.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszVlb1Umey
"You alright? You've been in the floor for quite a while..." Arsenio mentioned.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ201VdNPhGS
"...Yeah, something just... freaked me out.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LengtwCkV
She slides back in her seat...
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcBfBzq5S4
"I-I'll go next..." Isabelle announces. Within seconds, the threads began pulling themselves out of her sleeves.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7H6FOe06b
"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.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOuvHrnvAm
"I just had to wake up today! Is it wrong to get some sleep around here?!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDuEuqRQtw
Dawlly smiles innocently as Isabelle continues to roar.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBYhdNEDzY
"Don't worry, I've got this.." Arsenio stands up. "Trust me, my charm is irresistible."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvPzop5wtU
He grabs her wrists, looks her deep into her eyes..
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkspyZaAsfx
"Ah, great..." Catherine grumbled, rolling her eyes.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGJQqZvVsL
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that you look adorable when you're angry?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X64uSWBlH
Isabelle, easily flustered and caught off guard, immediately snaps back to her timid self.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyRVCsV6XU
"See?" He points out. "It's like a secret perk I have." He starts throwing up two pieces of jewelry.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnmshos83X
Isabelle immediately feels her ears.
"M-my earrings!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOqFJldYz5
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."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGvih3aBVd
Isabelle just kept turning red as she puts back on her earrings.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyuqwcJ9bs
"So, you yourself do not have a Gift just yet, Arsenio?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWASZcuWPz
"I haven't really felt anything, so no...I think."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY8GLJxR7Z
Outside, bells begin to ring. Chrono looks up at the clock sitting across the room from him on the wall.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimoVYe0AKu
"Ah...only an hour left..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUwOUZNXkm
"Is there anything else thou wants to say to us before thou becomes Father Time?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr3hxtetjq
"Use your Gift well, and I hope we get to see each other more in the future."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB8XztXhw7
Chrono smiles genuinely.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPcbJNKRrX
"So, what now?" Arsenio says, picking his teeth.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSjf8RVE2p
"Well, if you four are attending the ceremony, you'll have to be properly dressed."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb8iIeNaaU
"Well, Verna could've told us that earlier.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZD7aNKrcl
"Don't worry, we have a public closet full of gowns and suits for you to wear."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPPq75Z07L
Chrono stands up, leads them upstairs and pulls open a closet door.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVU1R8I6ju
There were attire in every color of the rainbow.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kK2InPohS
"Hey, now this is nice!" Catherine says, walking into the spacious closet.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYr3zM3n61a
"Don't be afraid to pick whatever you want!" Chrono says, leaving.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOl5e1RwfD
Trying to decide what attire to wear, the Prodigies pick the most extravagant and dazzling outfit that fit them the most.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8eQEyDOQJ
The four take turns putting on their new clothes, which gleamed and twinkled in the light. Once the four return to the closet.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YtGVs8erA
"Looking nice girls.." Arsenio says.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfeWfVCwzY
"These shoes are gonna kill me later, but yeah, thanks.."
Catherine complained.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvsXCJwH3e
"Now that that portion has been completed.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI711SrWScu
Nathaniel grabs Arsenio by the shoulder.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9F6CotSPtu
"Arsenio. Thou shall come with me."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYpFaW2Ocq
He drags him away.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRnuovYGRI
"Hey uh, Nathaniel, what are you trying to do?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVQGN8uagO
"We must fix this hair of thine.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUaSGXSjPx
"Wait...Nate no, my hair is fine-"
Nathaniel pulls Arsenio outside.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQWKoaFe1b
"Well, it w-wouldn't be too wrong to d-do the same, would it?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP3e1kpLGl
"No, we can take turns doing each other's hair. That seems hella fun!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl3bqbGpES
"O-okay!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJkE0qgQ9j
Isabelle finds some combs, brushes, and hair accessories.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiNux2h8vQ
"N-now, what kind of hairstyle would you want?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVvSitrN7j
"Something simple, I guess. Not trying to impress anyone.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwKoj22ZzZ
Isabelle gets to unbraiding Catherine's hair, carefully and gracefully taking it apart. In the middle of brushing however, Isabelle stops.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHEZh9VZoC
"Uhm...Catherine?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cxfAXAEED
"Yeah?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1unFgoSBia
"There's a m-mark or something...on your neck.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQtI0SI81q
"Huh? What does it look like?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZao64OmBe
"It l-looks like something scratched you... you didn't g-get attacked b-by anything, did you?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SpSMLRd5e
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.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkb16wdn1S
"D-Do you have any allergies?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19D4MnJoJH
"I'm not supposed to."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jJv2AG3if
"...Oh my.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJKTVFOufe
"I'm not too worried about it... it'll clear up soon..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zaMvek09q
"...If you say so.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYFUuA49dY
Isabelle continues to brush and straighten Catherine's hair. Before she knew it, Isabelle was already putting a flower pin neatly upon her head.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LdowZA3MN
Isabelle puts a mirror in front of her face. "T-Tada!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS433QOwm5
"Oh damn. That's actually really good."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIErTYDYLlK
"T-thank you.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wR1KoKBxv
They switch positions, with Catherine sitting behind Isabelle to do her hair.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQh741Ck4B
"Is there anything specific you want to get?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2udnex3cGX
"U-Uhm.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHyd2PwYsa
"Oh wait, I actually learned how to do this one hairstyle, French roll or something like that?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnib8lnfqXG
"Okay, that one t-then.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTD7zsB8j5
"Alright."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSSCP4bErC
Catherine gathers all of Isabelle's hair, pulling it together, wrapping it around itself, until it looks like the hairstyle.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpyg5Zeoda
"Crap, I don't have any hair pins.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp8wm5LvkD
"D-don't worry, I have a backup.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDAGN9MIio
With her Gift, Isabelle sews the updo together until it fits securely, then places her own pin into her head.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ647FlpsUri
"...That works too.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQmlsxyzKM
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.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡco1NWKQ02S
"I still don't get why you did this, it was fine as it is.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbPZI2Xh7D
"Trust me, thou would rather look like this."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4N2iFSkeD
"I see the boys didn't have a good time picking out hairstyles." Catherine taunted.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRV3NWYHXZ
"T-They do seem to be in a debate.." Isabelle added.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hTIceOFux
"It's gonna take forever to put my hair back now.." Arsenio protested.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHvJV05pgY
"Let's not w-worry about that... we're supposed t-to have fun.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRkcJIVxHw
"Yeah, I guess that's true..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozgwQecyyk
There was thirty more minutes left. Still plenty of time to waste. Chrono comes back to check on them.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxH5KJEorMW
"Ah, looking exquisite Prodigies!" Chrono praises them. "I'm sure you'll be the best looking ones out there!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuZ99Ho8KF
"Eh, I doubt it, but I feel a lot prettier in this poofy thing.." Catherine flutters the ends of her dress.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgbmsp20Mz
"Ah, don't be so modest, you look great!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC5MpmagUj
"Well, we still have lots of time. What should we do until then?" Arsenio asks.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00OGcUz474
"Why wait?" Chrono asks. "I can manipulate time at will. I'll just skip time a few minutes.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cq5Os16QL
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.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR8a5yhGXK
"...That was...strange."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8be26AH4mo
"Let's go. The ceremony's about to start."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT58VM42B6
Catherine pushes Chrono out of the door. "We're right behind you, don't worry."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I6gyTUwc2
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.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpY4Rzlt9K
The crowd begins to applaud as Verna appears behind Chrono. She clears her throat.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAKRgaIQyn
"Welcome everyone, to Chrono's coronation. It's been a while since we've had one of these, huh?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoDiX2Hgjy
The crowd erupted into light laughter.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53T37M5q2f
"Anyways," she continued. "let's get to the best part."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlMAqiGPtI
She turns Chrono around, hold his hands gently.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVH6NcCB2b
"Do you solemnly swear, as long as you live, that you will fairly rule over the Time Realm?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDiGoGaFdn
Chrono silently nods.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK0q6POl9Q
Verna releases his hands, opens her own, and in them, appears an extravagant crown which seemed to glow in the light.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1udtoPHbYC
"Well then," she places it upon his head. "..you are now Father Time."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP8LJ5xbwY
Everyone explodes into cheers. The Prodigies couldn't help but clap along.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvdWIqYGiT
"Now, let us commence. Grab a partner, for the party is about to begin!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr1O3gfUWZ
Groups begin to pull apart into parties of two, music begins to fade in.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgYApqWlhu
Catherine feels fluttery from the tension.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWF4pjuFalk
"...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.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpfDVOsGDW
"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."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn127HMom5
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.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GQLibdhL3
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.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLKbk4mBSi
"Does thou plan to do this at every party?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV7Bbps1yy
Catherine finds the source of the tension. She knew Nathaniel was standing behind her the entire time. Without looking back, she responds.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdKQbwovfH
"I don't have anything else to do. Why'd you follow me anyway?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0Za12IZTM
"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.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukh9KKLh0t
"Nate, you dumbass..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0byOfYYfRv
"Hm?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Cb2CeqbFH
"You have jam and crap all over your face.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8q3acEBgl
She pulls a napkin, and is just about to hand it to him, when a voice yells in pain, quieting the party to silence.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAXFHdchaL
"...What's going on?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjUMb1QS5K
"I am not sure."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqSmvzu1Py
"...Boost me."

"What?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65YWdt1mli
Catherine struggles to climb up Nathaniel. Once she reaches his shoulders, her eyes catch something unexpected.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSWr8bdg2o
"It's...Chrono.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvkKl3MAyG
The two push participants out of the way.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oYxf2J5yP
"I was worried about his hands and..." a girl whispered towards them.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUedSPT5Qdk
"Don't worry, we've got this."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGqm1PSoAE
It seems like his Gift was finally coming into play.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVIR3gPNmM
"Chrono...are you alright?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk2zzoJmFw
Chrono grabs the edge of Catherine's dress to pull himself up.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42golOcJZ1
"I'm fine, really! My Gift just... activated all on it's own.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIdEPb6yka
As he stands up, everyone could see his Gift's true form. His face was plated halfway with gold, just as his arms were.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtjFOlK5TT
"But seriously, I'm fine!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3IgPtZyoB
More of his face became jagged.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBTGVxDT0g
"... Let's go. Nate, you get Arsenio and Isabelle."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXuKFJ2mAn
Catherine pulled Chrono away from the party, taking him back the House of Father Time.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu6ugFrDox
"Okay, Chrono...what happened?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZV8c3KqJe
"I-I think the stress...plus the demonstration from this morning..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YSjjKjfLs
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.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBN4ZXmpfb
"C-Chrono? Are you okay?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbyS5oeURK
"I-I am f-fine, Prodigies...this is just what happens...It's a little painful, though..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJsydBSfLm
More barbs rip around his body, horns even start to curve from his head.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHrY1O8CG6
"O-Oh goodness.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4ejRUCTip
"I just have to...fight it. I can't hurt anyone if..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7Esuq1dvX
His breathing gets heavier than stones.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5rEmPlFlP
"Is there anyone we can get for help?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bWJVD80cn
"You don't need to bring anyone. Just...leave before it.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2jsey4zcl
Without thinking, Chrono threw a glass from a table right beside him.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnLQiOgdaD
"Okay okay! Let's calm down.." Arsenio says, recovering from dodging.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSEHbtbh5i
"I-I can't! It's going to..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsilKbpSeA
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.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C95Zbka07
Catherine simply used Phasing to break her fall, diving into the floor.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cFAQaSQRF
The voice from before called again. "There she is again!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6mMpHxwuQ
"...Who the hell are you? What do you want?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyVCNYdrv5
She saw a stripe of bright cyan wave past her. Catherine tried desperately to find where the line went.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIdY9GeQ6C
"...Behind you.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQWxtsXkfN
Catherine turned around to see the menacing face of a dragon staring back at her. She was about to take a breath to scream.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZecfvZUXe4
"Hey, don't scream. I just want to know how you got here."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMXISrAQLG
Catherine confusingly looks.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy86PmRvjqT
"This is my Gift...I can phase through crap like it's water. I broke my fall from a building.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsStsxOl5I
"Oh, you must be the person I marked yesterday. Makes sense, I guess.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUs5Glx4xM
"M-Marked?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb6Rc45fqW
"That itch you could never satisfy." It points towards Catherine's neck.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxftjrrN3K4
"...Wait, that was you?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVyQBRzrVc
The serpent playfully clears it's throat before bellowing menacingly.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6RhBWU7nD
"Allow me to become you, and I shall spare your life!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXt82kktaJ
"...Do I get other abilities other than falling through stuff?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFkSuCx7Fy
The dragon shrugs. "I think so?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPNgMe5XLc
"Great. Come on then."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NXkmmlhvH
It phases through Catherine, unlocking a surge of energy and power within her.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXppIFvuE6
Catherine climbs out of the dimension as the others were looking for her.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwLckTTTdd
"Sorry if I scared you guys.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43PTxbnL0c
"Catherine! Y-you're okay!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcbsEcmXco
"Yeah, I just got a new friend."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVIfbGN169
The dragon only appeared as a ghost coiled around her body.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgb7QB6rGD
"And her name is?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEtJYiXOrL
"Not sure.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcQ1UrZpfd
Like a ghost, the dragon swapped her soul with Catherine's.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohYeZgcXup
"Piravit. My name is Piravit, the Spiritual Dragon of Phasing. I have chosen Catherine here as my host..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCIAx7MfnQ
"Thou is...possessing her.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsREXbLjnH
"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."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxLJvrPfcP
"Cool. Now...about him.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlKYuLHC1F
Arsenio points at the shattered window that Catherine fell out of.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoSHX3RIdJ
Chrono's roar echoed throughout the realm as he perched on the window.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Soz5PmFyC
"Oi! You have some explaining to do!"
Catherine says as she takes back control of her body.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPo8KZSJ2qY
"...Catherine, that's the Time Beast!"
Piravit says as a echoing voice inside her head.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRAw6c3nPh
"Eh? That's Chrono, that's just his Gift."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrTMVYeGDA
"Like you, he's been marked. If he sees me with you, he'll kill us both!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUxguXn2oS
As on cue, Chrono jumps down right in front of Catherine, as if analyzing her. Then with angry aura, throws her again.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKGMk2uIih
Catherine hits the ground, tumbling.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRPtJ46sYd
She struggles to pick herself up, as Chrono runs towards her.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaQwzhp0Rz
"What the hell did you do for him to get pissed off?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosGPdYrIrO
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.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRzSTrqPRx
"You have gotta be kidding me!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r5nDocKYH
"But don't worry! I'm sure if we beat him, he'll come to his senses!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuoyRLU0hT
Chrono pulls a punch towards them, only to be stopped by Isabelle's thread.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡml1DwLaHkj
"C-Chrono! You h-have to come t-to your senses!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbdiZ06tTB
"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.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrdivvq3Yk
"I-I'm sorry...I can't k-keep him still..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMDDwAO7lu
"It's alright! You've spared me some time!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrMVi2pdo3
"Let me take over!" Piravit immediately pulls Catherine out, becoming the one in control.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc9eLTOxnU
As soon as Chrono began a barrage of punches, Piravit pulls away, but was able to only dodge a few before tanking them.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAEdLqWJHr
"He's way too fast! I can't get a hit on him!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc0ZsUxlbF
As Chrono kept punching her in the chest, Piravit, in Catherine's body, was thinking of ideas, pondering as hard as her breathing.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfLV2MXeQl
Piravit begins to punch rapidly in response, until the two stop.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOCafwikcv
"I have to say..." Piravit states tauntingly. " You've given me quite the workout since I left my dimension-"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfPvjykVbv
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.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9p3vPBjHS
"So, p-playing dirty are we?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQWBs60674
Chrono responds with an angry, but silent, glare.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafOghcjRwX
"Great, I like games without rules..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6Fq3grjK0
Piravit phases back into the floor. When they return to the Phasing Dimension, the two separate.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JL5tWI8Fj
"Okay, so new plan..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAhJBogv7P
Catherine coughs as she feels the after effects of earlier.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kYtrZ9Ndu
"You better think of something and fast..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa2YP4yWXs
"There's one last thing we can do, but you have to follow a specific set of rules and-"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGZcKZ0MsY
"Nevermind... I'll figure something out.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauescb0RMz
Catherine jumps from the dimension and behind Chrono, where she sneakily kicks him.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQT6u981dJa
Piravit follows shortly behind her.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGwO1FRIEX
She kneels down towards Chrono.
"Well? Are you having fun yet? Not fun being attacked without noticing, huh?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxli7YFEsM
Chrono swipes at Catherine's arm, barely cutting her.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7Etm5UQ1C
"...Nah. Didn't think so.." she says, standing up. "Didn't know you'd get this bad.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8CBJHoc26
She picks him up. "Come on. Let's finish this so you can go back to normal at least. I have things to do.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwxWxQu11w
Catherine stands in a fighting position.
"I'll only use my power alone."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR6FBsI3Hq
"Then allow me to join you." Arsenio says, standing beside her.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyyDgVvNyS
"What are you gonna do, flirt him to death?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNh4J2ykZm
"I actually had something else in mind.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0xhbQLAYL
Arsenio was finally able to conjure a Gift, as an arm cannon faded to fit on top of his hand.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDeraNcjiO
"I wanted to test this thing, you know?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYVk9LjZm6
"...Whatever."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3aay6kBaK
"Come forward..." Chrono says menacingly.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjXpfG86Tp
"Whatever you say, your Majesty."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYZU2cMiiQ
As the two-on-one began, more of the participants of the ceremony began to watch from a distance.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN96LExvy3A
"Seems like we've made quite an audience.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkmdDPQVE3
"Let's make this the best coronation the Time Realm has ever seen.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsiPbujNNM
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.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZTosk0jiV
With a sharp yell, time itself began to slow.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6C4Id3Lhv
"Damnit! We're stuck until.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VSGJPnxg3
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.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KEwSv8M8D
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.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulBXGv6fio
"...I don't think we're gonna make it if he keeps stopping time like that.." She says, spitting up blood and standing up.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YriZfzdXt
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.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04GF3RkIxK
Catherine jumps up.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lszNjSqnc
"You're welcome!" Arsenio says from afar.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EOkNKX85i
"Thanks! Keep looking for openings!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVntYT72Ed
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.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDeWMShTwx
"A-alright...you've proven your worth.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewTNgneeA0
"Is this Chrono we're speaking to?" Arsenio asks as his Gift charges up once again and picks Catherine up.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoLzEvkOxg
"I-I'm not sure.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoERq7ffUaX
"Make sure you're sure. I'd hate to hit you with this thing for no reason."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kXspsYZnf
"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.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKHvXQeggu
Chrono shakes his head. "N-nevermind! Let us continue with the celebration, yes?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCtygZqAvH
"To be honest, I'm worn out..."
Catherine huffed. "You're like...crazy strong."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yi9wisHWJ
"I-I'll make it up to you, I swear!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXXPusIkmZ
Piravit peeks from the floor. "Can I come out now?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd35YidHY3
"Depends.." Chrono says. "Are you willing to take your side of the deal?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pPHq78U38
"Eep!" Piravit says, coiling itself around Catherine and hiding behind her. "A-Ah! My part of the deal...?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3unL7tXFB
"You shall give me full entry to your dimension. That was your promise to me."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2Zc5b8ZmS
"...Fine. But you can't keep using Chrono as a vessel for your battles."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAICbKMwNr
Chrono stares for a second, before hitting the ground, parts of his golden shell chipping off.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZEtc2qNCD
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.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y8x9YL6Lh
"He's suppressed his power...I think."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHV6UUmReE
"Wait, they have a gender?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcOsedqXRg
"Yeah..." Piravit answered. "It is quite obvious that I'm female. No whiskers, see?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67IKImmsay
"I guess.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1JXd8vD3E
"Catherine! Arsenio!" Isabelle says, stumbling her own feet. "A-Are you two alright?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB7fq4W0rR
"I'm good. Not sure about Catherine though."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwRwCzThg9
"Nah, I'll be alright. I don't think he broke anything."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fsx8YfZy6
Nathaniel also approaches them with another tart in hand.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH0V69cCDR
"Nate! You just had one of those things!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdcZ688Nfz
"I must try every single flavor." He says taking another giant bite.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLahejIif3z
"..M-Maybe we should g-go.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkL051rdxe
"Are you sure? We can just...continue the party as normal.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rdJNXRshx
Arsenio shrugs. "Seems like a plan to me."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXmR5sx4SC
Slowly, the music begins to play. Partners begin to group together. It was like the party was uninterrupted the entire time.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4bPSH26Ok
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.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7lmYSgNV8
After the party, the Prodigies carried Chrono back into the House of Father Time.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJAvSjkjZP
"Thank you, you four. Hopefully I can get around with solving some of your Timebreaker problems sometime!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOCd80b2Ff
"We'd greatly appreciate it. We don't know how strong the next one'll be."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgHR4ChM6R
Chrono waves them away as they go back to the Sanctuary. Ezra was already asleep when they returned, wrapped up in a blanket.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X3v4asxHV
"Well, we should get some rest too."
Catherine announced.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DuH42yc2l
"Way ahead of you." Arsenio says, dropping into the bed.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO1Nj2liGA
Everyone puts themselves to bed for the night, and the Prodigies fall asleep.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkPGB0j5AP
Silently, in the middle of the night, someone's Tempural Energy swarmed the room...
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXKbLNmRkV
