"Rise and shine, Prodigies!" Verna's peppy voice awoken the group. "Let's get ready for the coronation of Father Time today!"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxRExLOAVl
Catherine scratches her neck as she pushes the quilt off. "Coronation?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkhE5GIt3K
"Apparently, a new Father Time is to be crowned today." Nathaniel states, stretching.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2f5kUiByr
"Your mission today is to just watch over the new guy before the celebration begins. Pretty easy, right?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQpCjoyxMH
"Wait...our job today is to be a goddamn babysitter?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA1cv49OBa
"If that's how you view it, yes. But as a reward, you get to go to the after-party!"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL66waru6AH
"That at least solves dinner..." Ezra thinks aloud.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkhjzYqRrk
"Breakfast will be served once you get there, so just put on your clothes and shoes and...look a little presentable.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyt0paMqRd
"No prob.." Arsenio says. "Let me just get my morning tea before I go.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnL0RGvIiwI
"T-Tea?" Isabelle asks while brushing her hair.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6MQmqWWBa
"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."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y1kH55Pi6
"...Alright then..." Arsenio says, slowly sitting down and sliding his hands in his coat pockets. "I'll just wait until later then.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9SApBatbb
"Is everyone ready?" Verna asks, peeking into the room as she does so.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNsA7sZj7u
"I think so.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURk27qlToV
"Good, good!" she fully opens the doors to let the Prodigies out. "Then, let's go, shall we?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FQa3TCuew
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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF1UbVfvLs
"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."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYthBOSgq7O
"...Is it because he's blonde?" Catherine remarked.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOCGRHFjd0
"... That might have had a influence on the nickname, yes."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL5KpPVnFj
They watched as walked stone faced across to the home of Father Time.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1Z62jy7CY
"Let's go." Verna says, instructing them to follow Chrono.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W1tZYZnIN
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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstkvq6CRMs
"Hello?" Catherine waited for a response.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hznHq5tlf
"J-Just a minute!" A voice called out before crashing and falling is heard. Then, from the stairs emerged Chrono.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYE2XQ07Cc
"Verna, very nice to see you again. And these four might be?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNyVnkXNi1
"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."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyHZK5Bvtl
"I see..."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFKs0ploTN
"Thanks again for doing this, guys."
Verna time warps away.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VEb0CS1Dv
"...Which one of you is which? I just don't want to be confused.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllbUPl8C9P
They introduce themselves once again, giving him some clarity.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN23q07nm30
"Ah, well it's nice to meet all of you."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5ak5Em53f
"Verna t-told us that w-we would have s-some breakfast.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rwMT7AiP0
"Of course. You've come here quite early, so I'm sure you four are starving."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeM85Jwhvx
"Yeah..." Catherine agreed, lightly holding her stomach.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPVFF4KrYM
"I thought so. I've prepared something, so don't worry."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWsAmLNKIH
Chrono brandishes a golden door, which he promptly throws open and reveals some nice breakfast meals, already plated and ready to eat.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lmM3GKQqy
"You m-made all of this yourself?!" Catherine exclaimed, impressed.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuA1itaZaq
"I was just planning on making food for myself, but I didn't want to be rude.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKSPR58XnS
"It does look rather...delectable..." Nathaniel says, clearing his throat.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsMkYU9kXJ
"Well, shall we eat or watch it get cold?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJQuyLB6vu
The four Prodigies and the Son of Time all sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast, basically wolfing down the entire plate before them.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhXKJKMt9r
"Man, that was good..." Arsenio says, stretching in his seat.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVsV7KuMlc
"I'm glad you enjoyed. It's very difficult to find people who enjoy similar interests to me."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJYN0QQS1v
"Now what? Do you just read books and whatnot?" Catherine asked, taking the last sip of her drink.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWcNY2w7lv
"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.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbnzyGU4Pw
"Then why not join us? From what we've experienced, we certainly need the help." Arsenio asks, leaned back in his chair.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQeEhDP2rp
"I was never suited for things like that, unfortunately..." Chrono sighs. "My Gift is also a little...hard to control."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFG9nKRqvT
"...Can we see it?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSmNTWZSJc
Chrono begins to rub his arms as guilt and embarrassment threw itself on his face.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAnTsZcMBa
"You can say no, you know..." Catherine speaks. "No one's forcing you."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4akbC3D6k
"It's...complicated."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpf0gmfiaK
"That's u-understandable...I have a Gift I can't quite c-control myself..."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5wmvwzWzx
Dawlly immediately pops itself out of Isabelle's pocket with an annoyed look.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXSfNOfkyt
"I-It's true..." she looks at Dawlly with the same annoyed look.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSR59mjgDG
"Interesting.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDY04N6yKd
"Is there anything else you like to do other than read and fantasize?" Catherine asks.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoiFD0dLdv
"I like to learn more about my Gift."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZUmtSpX6D
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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHztvaTIH7
"O-oh my.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95v5fSspd0
"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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50vpvhVMQ2
"So, what's your Gift? I'm sure you four have gotten one.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGPdPLiGpD
Catherine nudges Nathaniel. "You show yours first. You're the supposed leader."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCSgT46k5u
"I have never said that I was a leader..."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8QTtDDA4m
"W-Well..." Isabelle added. "You d-do know the most out of all of us..."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC7BuBdals
"...Fine.." Nathaniel reluctantly agrees.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW44xV2ifTK
First, his arm, then up to his shoulder, until his entire body was covered in armor.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvGRwu04Rj
"You never told me you could do that.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe81zegJspU
"I feel as if there is... no need to use the full Gift. It is...uncomfortable.." He speaks from within the suit.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgRhakrtA5
"Well, get the hell out of it then..."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPCiBlKQPX
He removes himself from the armor, reverting back to his velvet clothes.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iYF2oUqIe
"Well, since thou wants to assume roles, maybe thou would like to go next, co-leader?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7v94s5D7S
"Of course you pin this crap on me.." Catherine growled. "But sure, why not?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbwaIXZ2xO
She slips through her chair, and all the way through the floor.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNngKyWDc25
It was like she was in her own dimension, her escape from reality. She swam around as she heard the others from above.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRPO1R8k53
That's when she heard a voice calling her name from the distance.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pOYVpZ7Zs
"Hello?" The voice creepily whispered.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HnQFz6Omq
"The hell?" She exclaimed. That freaked her out enough to pull herself out of the Phasing dimension.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN7ox2RKHu
She gasped, as if she was underwater when she crawled out.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wWw1TqQsA
"You alright? You've been in the floor for quite a while..." Arsenio mentioned.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4QRMmRdDH
"...Yeah, something just... freaked me out.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZ3hTYfR2W
She slides back in her seat...
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQif5khT1mY
"I-I'll go next..." Isabelle announces. Within seconds, the threads began pulling themselves out of her sleeves.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR8hIvBZga
"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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nGRnM4Y9c
"I just had to wake up today! Is it wrong to get some sleep around here?!"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwYDGLr0am
Dawlly smiles innocently as Isabelle continues to roar.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrqkUyQc78
"Don't worry, I've got this.." Arsenio stands up. "Trust me, my charm is irresistible."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ042v9tzHXc
He grabs her wrists, looks her deep into her eyes..
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUpsHZiuNN
"Ah, great..." Catherine grumbled, rolling her eyes.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdk6FY3Awgs
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that you look adorable when you're angry?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWjDM51nPR
Isabelle, easily flustered and caught off guard, immediately snaps back to her timid self.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPZaJURenM
"See?" He points out. "It's like a secret perk I have." He starts throwing up two pieces of jewelry.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcupRUKR25L
Isabelle immediately feels her ears.
"M-my earrings!"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO98SHlHjYO
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."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn2r41y3KO
Isabelle just kept turning red as she puts back on her earrings.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnMcQzCyBX
"So, you yourself do not have a Gift just yet, Arsenio?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gvlhHqJ0x
"I haven't really felt anything, so no...I think."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKMeIC41HF
Outside, bells begin to ring. Chrono looks up at the clock sitting across the room from him on the wall.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDXh61MtlJ
"Ah...only an hour left..."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWkzMkaE4P
"Is there anything else thou wants to say to us before thou becomes Father Time?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykHnPlw2kS
"Use your Gift well, and I hope we get to see each other more in the future."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9szX10zsdR
Chrono smiles genuinely.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbPyolmszE
"So, what now?" Arsenio says, picking his teeth.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTqLbCp2nc
"Well, if you four are attending the ceremony, you'll have to be properly dressed."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr6JQfMljA
"Well, Verna could've told us that earlier.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6OXKH8VTI
"Don't worry, we have a public closet full of gowns and suits for you to wear."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHD1jUe4Fw
Chrono stands up, leads them upstairs and pulls open a closet door.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YRDdYNRlN
There were attire in every color of the rainbow.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJDt9rpSMa
"Hey, now this is nice!" Catherine says, walking into the spacious closet.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrxXlsNYVF
"Don't be afraid to pick whatever you want!" Chrono says, leaving.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEKu93oms9
Trying to decide what attire to wear, the Prodigies pick the most extravagant and dazzling outfit that fit them the most.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DNZFrIaPP
The four take turns putting on their new clothes, which gleamed and twinkled in the light. Once the four return to the closet.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkDhhFUX8V
"Looking nice girls.." Arsenio says.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbwxdC4nGi
"These shoes are gonna kill me later, but yeah, thanks.."
Catherine complained.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7jPjS7gsq
"Now that that portion has been completed.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurX4Zb96Tj
Nathaniel grabs Arsenio by the shoulder.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2eDs3gQaC
"Arsenio. Thou shall come with me."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9riSI9TWyI
He drags him away.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOEcL6aI75
"Hey uh, Nathaniel, what are you trying to do?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvKzjLra6Z
"We must fix this hair of thine.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7BY3sq9VA
"Wait...Nate no, my hair is fine-"
Nathaniel pulls Arsenio outside.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm0lf8vNxe
"Well, it w-wouldn't be too wrong to d-do the same, would it?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUSCqfExmE
"No, we can take turns doing each other's hair. That seems hella fun!"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcivx61vkYu
"O-okay!"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62I7s4CMxk
Isabelle finds some combs, brushes, and hair accessories.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQasAwYpxgT
"N-now, what kind of hairstyle would you want?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC0A0EWqfy
"Something simple, I guess. Not trying to impress anyone.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoFzQ1Sxb9
Isabelle gets to unbraiding Catherine's hair, carefully and gracefully taking it apart. In the middle of brushing however, Isabelle stops.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLC03SkO8c
"Uhm...Catherine?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaxszqNZtH
"Yeah?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvH9O3kBMIu
"There's a m-mark or something...on your neck.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq7o3zXfxd
"Huh? What does it look like?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHnfNjuGrJ
"It l-looks like something scratched you... you didn't g-get attacked b-by anything, did you?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn9HoS1kWy
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.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEuYQaIawO
"D-Do you have any allergies?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ7f1aMNTC
"I'm not supposed to."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6StekzZno
"...Oh my.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu9CbBuVuH
"I'm not too worried about it... it'll clear up soon..."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58LaNUg7Qx
"...If you say so.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu7nwdOOC0
Isabelle continues to brush and straighten Catherine's hair. Before she knew it, Isabelle was already putting a flower pin neatly upon her head.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSihxK9njj
Isabelle puts a mirror in front of her face. "T-Tada!"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIikbb9Mtw5
"Oh damn. That's actually really good."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgEZip8e5E
"T-thank you.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6f1CTJlTl
They switch positions, with Catherine sitting behind Isabelle to do her hair.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OSb210tbe
"Is there anything specific you want to get?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG9L5L94fT
"U-Uhm.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2gmSjTYYB
"Oh wait, I actually learned how to do this one hairstyle, French roll or something like that?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFau1qB9Npw
"Okay, that one t-then.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyCu9IxFXW
"Alright."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeOUnqanve
Catherine gathers all of Isabelle's hair, pulling it together, wrapping it around itself, until it looks like the hairstyle.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnjDMjwzUN
"Crap, I don't have any hair pins.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Pz1dDH9Ky
"D-don't worry, I have a backup.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7COzpF0OX
With her Gift, Isabelle sews the updo together until it fits securely, then places her own pin into her head.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kgAtqQh3J
"...That works too.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVagzqpS51k
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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ694RE1Zt72
"I still don't get why you did this, it was fine as it is.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvbgOP5qAb
"Trust me, thou would rather look like this."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbf320uIWu
"I see the boys didn't have a good time picking out hairstyles." Catherine taunted.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHAdUiRoUe
"T-They do seem to be in a debate.." Isabelle added.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NdjIyDBER
"It's gonna take forever to put my hair back now.." Arsenio protested.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2dt0ACDlL
"Let's not w-worry about that... we're supposed t-to have fun.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDviFyV33D
"Yeah, I guess that's true..."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13L90PHtmP
There was thirty more minutes left. Still plenty of time to waste. Chrono comes back to check on them.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhNQ2cjftK
"Ah, looking exquisite Prodigies!" Chrono praises them. "I'm sure you'll be the best looking ones out there!"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS694hCbn1k
"Eh, I doubt it, but I feel a lot prettier in this poofy thing.." Catherine flutters the ends of her dress.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYiBuYtJSE
"Ah, don't be so modest, you look great!"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBBp7cr3KD
"Well, we still have lots of time. What should we do until then?" Arsenio asks.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5fpLk4PVz
"Why wait?" Chrono asks. "I can manipulate time at will. I'll just skip time a few minutes.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJPOSw8k8Z
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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqzovU3KEs
"...That was...strange."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtnBZlxAhf
"Let's go. The ceremony's about to start."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgEiTN6S7E
Catherine pushes Chrono out of the door. "We're right behind you, don't worry."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hy8DiQXRh
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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PJRsqcZ9B
The crowd begins to applaud as Verna appears behind Chrono. She clears her throat.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ8KyhWsMt
"Welcome everyone, to Chrono's coronation. It's been a while since we've had one of these, huh?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrVGBrtZDz
The crowd erupted into light laughter.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdYmI6J9tk
"Anyways," she continued. "let's get to the best part."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeioybERh3R
She turns Chrono around, hold his hands gently.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzwF7X8EuK
"Do you solemnly swear, as long as you live, that you will fairly rule over the Time Realm?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQVaZT1suQ
Chrono silently nods.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxNfPXB1at
Verna releases his hands, opens her own, and in them, appears an extravagant crown which seemed to glow in the light.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡampAAjWbY6
"Well then," she places it upon his head. "..you are now Father Time."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qT3KWJQ8v
Everyone explodes into cheers. The Prodigies couldn't help but clap along.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xAzomnBPC
"Now, let us commence. Grab a partner, for the party is about to begin!"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMyY46RWOI
Groups begin to pull apart into parties of two, music begins to fade in.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6m8WSpXgy
Catherine feels fluttery from the tension.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gZ2Bo1BeT
"...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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe7jrUg4Hj
"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."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSxHR1vWY7
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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlAtvXpPTR
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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpBD62TbfS
"Does thou plan to do this at every party?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8gPnWhVVM
Catherine finds the source of the tension. She knew Nathaniel was standing behind her the entire time. Without looking back, she responds.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxYqKI936I
"I don't have anything else to do. Why'd you follow me anyway?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh43kBrMEn
"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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuEGjMWxPX
"Nate, you dumbass..."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oQzS2Hds7
"Hm?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfY1JbmaX3
"You have jam and crap all over your face.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL5W5aUSKx
She pulls a napkin, and is just about to hand it to him, when a voice yells in pain, quieting the party to silence.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfh0nfRziZ
"...What's going on?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF6ZFDSMRI
"I am not sure."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQHYDjxngq
"...Boost me."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc31Bfj05mC
"What?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnOcnfR3N1
Catherine struggles to climb up Nathaniel. Once she reaches his shoulders, her eyes catch something unexpected.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GwgNdcwkJ
"It's...Chrono.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdLrpC0yzV
The two push participants out of the way.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u72gbZW5w
"I was worried about his hands and..." a girl whispered towards them.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaZWJxSHOY
"Don't worry, we've got this."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdoVQIVsDD
It seems like his Gift was finally coming into play.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiuL6szRZH
"Chrono...are you alright?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCfwQuGIdn
Chrono grabs the edge of Catherine's dress to pull himself up.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOJTQbP2vR
"I'm fine, really! My Gift just... activated all on it's own.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AG5usjmgD
As he stands up, everyone could see his Gift's true form. His face was plated halfway with gold, just as his arms were.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM1LDRN4oO
"But seriously, I'm fine!"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7vgghcjvL
More of his face became jagged.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cWgPEPRMY
"... Let's go. Nate, you get Arsenio and Isabelle."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJhOsZdIah
Catherine pulled Chrono away from the party, taking him back the House of Father Time.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPNmXENjkV
"Okay, Chrono...what happened?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyRNZpqEMS
"I-I think the stress...plus the demonstration from this morning..."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLXl6GlmEm
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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjZF8TtRGV
"C-Chrono? Are you okay?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57t1mt5mIv
"I-I am f-fine, Prodigies...this is just what happens...It's a little painful, though..."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87faWKvdmE
More barbs rip around his body, horns even start to curve from his head.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEv3bNP9BF
"O-Oh goodness.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoWJZM3PU7
"I just have to...fight it. I can't hurt anyone if..."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCWVZ1Iell
His breathing gets heavier than stones.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV967atMeP9
"Is there anyone we can get for help?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HQmLgJ7FX
"You don't need to bring anyone. Just...leave before it.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Zqv4CU423
Without thinking, Chrono threw a glass from a table right beside him.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrblIumiTST
"Okay okay! Let's calm down.." Arsenio says, recovering from dodging.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqb7nEsjMG
"I-I can't! It's going to..."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdr6q76jIrk
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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznRmpEh8p1
Catherine simply used Phasing to break her fall, diving into the floor.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ924Cbcsgma
The voice from before called again. "There she is again!"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqlAYlMz0K
"...Who the hell are you? What do you want?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuvz8rafM9
She saw a stripe of bright cyan wave past her. Catherine tried desperately to find where the line went.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhXvwXUe3m
"...Behind you.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScSKS1h8Z4
Catherine turned around to see the menacing face of a dragon staring back at her. She was about to take a breath to scream.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3f74IKlnP
"Hey, don't scream. I just want to know how you got here."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanvjb5oKs0
Catherine confusingly looks.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUWmPPagVA
"This is my Gift...I can phase through crap like it's water. I broke my fall from a building.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbKRCvFDEs
"Oh, you must be the person I marked yesterday. Makes sense, I guess.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyimj6L2hX
"M-Marked?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRgfcGHLef
"That itch you could never satisfy." It points towards Catherine's neck.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrgYMVaOXs
"...Wait, that was you?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxVzncImQn
The serpent playfully clears it's throat before bellowing menacingly.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIQisryGfD
"Allow me to become you, and I shall spare your life!"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVo07vMBmf
"...Do I get other abilities other than falling through stuff?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekarz5hxlu
The dragon shrugs. "I think so?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7WD1mT77b
"Great. Come on then."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nQNSGrVib
It phases through Catherine, unlocking a surge of energy and power within her.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY2tc6gdvO
Catherine climbs out of the dimension as the others were looking for her.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYttFcnRBDM
"Sorry if I scared you guys.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAgl2jeKPC
"Catherine! Y-you're okay!"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xxm4opqiV
"Yeah, I just got a new friend."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqQcBQnJJ1
The dragon only appeared as a ghost coiled around her body.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIXG1hiLFR
"And her name is?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqzsU5H7ED
"Not sure.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPge7Rn8fH
Like a ghost, the dragon swapped her soul with Catherine's.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUmKaMwI4A
"Piravit. My name is Piravit, the Spiritual Dragon of Phasing. I have chosen Catherine here as my host..."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP9BNox8k6
"Thou is...possessing her.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Kh1JQc3jD
"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."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6Vjcm3Jci
"Cool. Now...about him.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXekM64K7C8
Arsenio points at the shattered window that Catherine fell out of.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkz7um3eNB
Chrono's roar echoed throughout the realm as he perched on the window.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTPvODCnkm
"Oi! You have some explaining to do!"
Catherine says as she takes back control of her body.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYjuOa3J4w
"...Catherine, that's the Time Beast!"
Piravit says as a echoing voice inside her head.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh1fN7or4V
"Eh? That's Chrono, that's just his Gift."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbUaWh9mfS
"Like you, he's been marked. If he sees me with you, he'll kill us both!"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz6ifmGTiM
As on cue, Chrono jumps down right in front of Catherine, as if analyzing her. Then with angry aura, throws her again.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkxwny6gPT
Catherine hits the ground, tumbling.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQnDTpy84t
She struggles to pick herself up, as Chrono runs towards her.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQerROgSRe
"What the hell did you do for him to get pissed off?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TKlgqt50v
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.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSggnKeiqmP
"You have gotta be kidding me!"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfzisLzOXB
"But don't worry! I'm sure if we beat him, he'll come to his senses!"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjBBpqXOv7
Chrono pulls a punch towards them, only to be stopped by Isabelle's thread.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeKxxKW3fW
"C-Chrono! You h-have to come t-to your senses!"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5iRYP0yFK
"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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvxhr8Vxni
"I-I'm sorry...I can't k-keep him still..."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEd9ZEam19
"It's alright! You've spared me some time!"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANvvJRuoUH
"Let me take over!" Piravit immediately pulls Catherine out, becoming the one in control.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlQJNALeGK
As soon as Chrono began a barrage of punches, Piravit pulls away, but was able to only dodge a few before tanking them.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9046Ibjurw
"He's way too fast! I can't get a hit on him!"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNgEeVxDoQ
As Chrono kept punching her in the chest, Piravit, in Catherine's body, was thinking of ideas, pondering as hard as her breathing.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCddyO8hvn
Piravit begins to punch rapidly in response, until the two stop.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ8sLXaMxf
"I have to say..." Piravit states tauntingly. " You've given me quite the workout since I left my dimension-"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlp16MdXv7
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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWBuTP8wSx
"So, p-playing dirty are we?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLplsURco1v
Chrono responds with an angry, but silent, glare.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc3gq7u2kJ
"Great, I like games without rules..."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhoFpyZSXE
Piravit phases back into the floor. When they return to the Phasing Dimension, the two separate.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHhOxae9pG
"Okay, so new plan..."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLvQ1xRXQd
Catherine coughs as she feels the after effects of earlier.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM12fkWv6L
"You better think of something and fast..."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcf2348YFhD
"There's one last thing we can do, but you have to follow a specific set of rules and-"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGejYjW23LW
"Nevermind... I'll figure something out.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BqrxFcSoK
Catherine jumps from the dimension and behind Chrono, where she sneakily kicks him.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbVLOYGCd1
Piravit follows shortly behind her.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OEwA2QIyE
She kneels down towards Chrono.
"Well? Are you having fun yet? Not fun being attacked without noticing, huh?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7arJsr1Qj
Chrono swipes at Catherine's arm, barely cutting her.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYDVgLOs94
"...Nah. Didn't think so.." she says, standing up. "Didn't know you'd get this bad.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiSCWJ1IWu
She picks him up. "Come on. Let's finish this so you can go back to normal at least. I have things to do.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NPAeYeNCK
Catherine stands in a fighting position.
"I'll only use my power alone."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lcfMwdkkE
"Then allow me to join you." Arsenio says, standing beside her.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAQjtukacu
"What are you gonna do, flirt him to death?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMwAzaIb3O
"I actually had something else in mind.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCct5tFHyl
Arsenio was finally able to conjure a Gift, as an arm cannon faded to fit on top of his hand.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV56uTAxKL
"I wanted to test this thing, you know?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3UaKTPasy
"...Whatever."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau9bLokSYn
"Come forward..." Chrono says menacingly.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUzwsyDiSM
"Whatever you say, your Majesty."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmMXvPgyeg
As the two-on-one began, more of the participants of the ceremony began to watch from a distance.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP7cR9Nj00
"Seems like we've made quite an audience.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Daa308Kvn
"Let's make this the best coronation the Time Realm has ever seen.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuoe1BW3iq
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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm4bQDFtS0
With a sharp yell, time itself began to slow.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0tjAy5QoJ
"Damnit! We're stuck until.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUbBtSvi9l
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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwwnyIRcYg
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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlsJdvYAZC
"...I don't think we're gonna make it if he keeps stopping time like that.." She says, spitting up blood and standing up.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYEaAcpDgx
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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DcuP2NWoE
Catherine jumps up.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBCf3hdqA1
"You're welcome!" Arsenio says from afar.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjpwnqOGnk
"Thanks! Keep looking for openings!"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6SMRhjVuW
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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77J7x8NmzH
"A-alright...you've proven your worth.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sE5aanOjj
"Is this Chrono we're speaking to?" Arsenio asks as his Gift charges up once again and picks Catherine up.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a8lNbH5cv
"I-I'm not sure.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDo9ookSOL
"Make sure you're sure. I'd hate to hit you with this thing for no reason."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY1WE2stqg
"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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BDRMrNd9p
Chrono shakes his head. "N-nevermind! Let us continue with the celebration, yes?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfz7n5K6e32
"To be honest, I'm worn out..."
Catherine huffed. "You're like...crazy strong."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxKAYmUxx1
"I-I'll make it up to you, I swear!"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW0nksJDT2
Piravit peeks from the floor. "Can I come out now?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNiJY6I3hY
"Depends.." Chrono says. "Are you willing to take your side of the deal?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGJrE3anVp
"Eep!" Piravit says, coiling itself around Catherine and hiding behind her. "A-Ah! My part of the deal...?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83L5wShnBx
"You shall give me full entry to your dimension. That was your promise to me."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEI7jZGnch
"...Fine. But you can't keep using Chrono as a vessel for your battles."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJXj1hsSDP
Chrono stares for a second, before hitting the ground, parts of his golden shell chipping off.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Le9aHyV72
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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhWFRmJnXZ
"He's suppressed his power...I think."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n1Vcsz8Z6
"Wait, they have a gender?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUmUdITvFD
"Yeah..." Piravit answered. "It is quite obvious that I'm female. No whiskers, see?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QoFApARll
"I guess.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0Rwa3U2vp
"Catherine! Arsenio!" Isabelle says, stumbling her own feet. "A-Are you two alright?"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznrtXXCbmj
"I'm good. Not sure about Catherine though."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4N6zUYZK2
"Nah, I'll be alright. I don't think he broke anything."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJScMIvcPC
Nathaniel also approaches them with another tart in hand.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1TINxxmh9
"Nate! You just had one of those things!"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo02mvbXBp
"I must try every single flavor." He says taking another giant bite.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJEW8Uvup7
"..M-Maybe we should g-go.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hCLbklYCE
"Are you sure? We can just...continue the party as normal.."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY3fNgqCWQ
Arsenio shrugs. "Seems like a plan to me."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ1ukY0YXZ
Slowly, the music begins to play. Partners begin to group together. It was like the party was uninterrupted the entire time.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfN3jIQrLqe
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.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZjEhfbFD7
After the party, the Prodigies carried Chrono back into the House of Father Time.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerI5mmcLd6
"Thank you, you four. Hopefully I can get around with solving some of your Timebreaker problems sometime!"
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQI70DAoUe
"We'd greatly appreciate it. We don't know how strong the next one'll be."
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2vXtp2V7m
Chrono waves them away as they go back to the Sanctuary. Ezra was already asleep when they returned, wrapped up in a blanket.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlaAHE1WRV
"Well, we should get some rest too."
Catherine announced.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxC1Jq5Uiu
"Way ahead of you." Arsenio says, dropping into the bed.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZoVOCTV1z
Everyone puts themselves to bed for the night, and the Prodigies fall asleep.
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUzN7woYJQ
Silently, in the middle of the night, someone's Tempural Energy swarmed the room...
406Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktqGMlj5Zc
