"Rise and shine, Prodigies!" Verna's peppy voice awoken the group. "Let's get ready for the coronation of Father Time today!"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv3L8Fbn8L
Catherine scratches her neck as she pushes the quilt off. "Coronation?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnm9GjZOP6
"Apparently, a new Father Time is to be crowned today." Nathaniel states, stretching.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPl2OnZiUR
"Your mission today is to just watch over the new guy before the celebration begins. Pretty easy, right?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzlNzS07iW
"Wait...our job today is to be a goddamn babysitter?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRlIY8XzGL
"If that's how you view it, yes. But as a reward, you get to go to the after-party!"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mm8ZH7M8j
"That at least solves dinner..." Ezra thinks aloud.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03d6T2ezHk
"Breakfast will be served once you get there, so just put on your clothes and shoes and...look a little presentable.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKYbdIs2eE
"No prob.." Arsenio says. "Let me just get my morning tea before I go.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9SvFgGBVf
"T-Tea?" Isabelle asks while brushing her hair.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGWmKeqBox
"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."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0K1KKaaOC
"...Alright then..." Arsenio says, slowly sitting down and sliding his hands in his coat pockets. "I'll just wait until later then.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXAtMileTr
"Is everyone ready?" Verna asks, peeking into the room as she does so.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6qWx9MnEH
"I think so.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsS6Rzy5mn
"Good, good!" she fully opens the doors to let the Prodigies out. "Then, let's go, shall we?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHRAFCbU6V
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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd9xIKD3t9
"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."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXi1IrLY8u
"...Is it because he's blonde?" Catherine remarked.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BHZlhXvJJ
"... That might have had a influence on the nickname, yes."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse512kR3eP
They watched as walked stone faced across to the home of Father Time.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wg2RgDQVI
"Let's go." Verna says, instructing them to follow Chrono.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMQgLTQb9s
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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWYfozdrO6
"Hello?" Catherine waited for a response.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFNpYxVcoH
"J-Just a minute!" A voice called out before crashing and falling is heard. Then, from the stairs emerged Chrono.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEvJr9xpeG
"Verna, very nice to see you again. And these four might be?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa15wkgXRlm
"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."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2waDRXHKS
"I see..."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCke1tmsjE3
"Thanks again for doing this, guys."
Verna time warps away.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwVEw5TS9S
"...Which one of you is which? I just don't want to be confused.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vzI7bmoP6
They introduce themselves once again, giving him some clarity.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqPvoqP5sA
"Ah, well it's nice to meet all of you."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxDZ1WGLh9
"Verna t-told us that w-we would have s-some breakfast.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciloGXOkBP
"Of course. You've come here quite early, so I'm sure you four are starving."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNu1nw6BROj
"Yeah..." Catherine agreed, lightly holding her stomach.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtfBvW5aTi
"I thought so. I've prepared something, so don't worry."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNBetXqH9k
Chrono brandishes a golden door, which he promptly throws open and reveals some nice breakfast meals, already plated and ready to eat.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovYbhQYDlw
"You m-made all of this yourself?!" Catherine exclaimed, impressed.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSllSV7iAa
"I was just planning on making food for myself, but I didn't want to be rude.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxkEORZ0CE
"It does look rather...delectable..." Nathaniel says, clearing his throat.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgLczLPTmJ
"Well, shall we eat or watch it get cold?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a7W8lrS5g
The four Prodigies and the Son of Time all sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast, basically wolfing down the entire plate before them.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gkKh1kuU1
"Man, that was good..." Arsenio says, stretching in his seat.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4ANZyITvW
"I'm glad you enjoyed. It's very difficult to find people who enjoy similar interests to me."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HrR1zpMmK
"Now what? Do you just read books and whatnot?" Catherine asked, taking the last sip of her drink.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KURT7Jqxh
"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.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9aJHNnToI
"Then why not join us? From what we've experienced, we certainly need the help." Arsenio asks, leaned back in his chair.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUPdovRuCy
"I was never suited for things like that, unfortunately..." Chrono sighs. "My Gift is also a little...hard to control."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVrTWgIy6P
"...Can we see it?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm863Sa9Lx
Chrono begins to rub his arms as guilt and embarrassment threw itself on his face.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM8Vl6Pqy2
"You can say no, you know..." Catherine speaks. "No one's forcing you."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSzwgFY7G3
"It's...complicated."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YWdcMJz26
"That's u-understandable...I have a Gift I can't quite c-control myself..."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wPljzRfBA
Dawlly immediately pops itself out of Isabelle's pocket with an annoyed look.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8djNRjmcJ
"I-It's true..." she looks at Dawlly with the same annoyed look.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0jbh9aIv3
"Interesting.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xw1C0INqQ
"Is there anything else you like to do other than read and fantasize?" Catherine asks.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNUw2ylOjg
"I like to learn more about my Gift."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTM1En6MET
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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QWJxM4s1q
"O-oh my.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPMkUxpfbb
"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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwjrZblLMh
"So, what's your Gift? I'm sure you four have gotten one.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQdQ6E3s7P
Catherine nudges Nathaniel. "You show yours first. You're the supposed leader."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TMOGw67KY
"I have never said that I was a leader..."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pLprMoYIk
"W-Well..." Isabelle added. "You d-do know the most out of all of us..."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jgrboc5ph
"...Fine.." Nathaniel reluctantly agrees.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr3pmroChr
First, his arm, then up to his shoulder, until his entire body was covered in armor.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jLvtAohte
"You never told me you could do that.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsN7DRyf66Z
"I feel as if there is... no need to use the full Gift. It is...uncomfortable.." He speaks from within the suit.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLfX8YqlGD
"Well, get the hell out of it then..."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObXeOrrxJg
He removes himself from the armor, reverting back to his velvet clothes.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIDtUF5Hq4
"Well, since thou wants to assume roles, maybe thou would like to go next, co-leader?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8cqywlDOQ
"Of course you pin this crap on me.." Catherine growled. "But sure, why not?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIClQqGsRZ
She slips through her chair, and all the way through the floor.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxu3slkc3X
It was like she was in her own dimension, her escape from reality. She swam around as she heard the others from above.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp1YdNHyuL
That's when she heard a voice calling her name from the distance.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvc3UObDqg
"Hello?" The voice creepily whispered.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCcKyPDnGQ
"The hell?" She exclaimed. That freaked her out enough to pull herself out of the Phasing dimension.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaszoPyoyB
She gasped, as if she was underwater when she crawled out.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpAbZMslK5
"You alright? You've been in the floor for quite a while..." Arsenio mentioned.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFOm73K5Lc
"...Yeah, something just... freaked me out.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRsDSY6nUE
She slides back in her seat...
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcoURLu3JU
"I-I'll go next..." Isabelle announces. Within seconds, the threads began pulling themselves out of her sleeves.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUPp2ruMgF
"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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomU4wL8WO5
"I just had to wake up today! Is it wrong to get some sleep around here?!"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAi6funbKJ6
Dawlly smiles innocently as Isabelle continues to roar.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMwKxzJbEm
"Don't worry, I've got this.." Arsenio stands up. "Trust me, my charm is irresistible."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZkSedutbd
He grabs her wrists, looks her deep into her eyes..
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEDC0sOa8a
"Ah, great..." Catherine grumbled, rolling her eyes.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHahz2kg7r
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that you look adorable when you're angry?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsejUWlK4J
Isabelle, easily flustered and caught off guard, immediately snaps back to her timid self.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfJDbkDF0n
"See?" He points out. "It's like a secret perk I have." He starts throwing up two pieces of jewelry.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9aUQ29Dte
Isabelle immediately feels her ears.
"M-my earrings!"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXJcTaznn3
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."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VsQ67t3IG
Isabelle just kept turning red as she puts back on her earrings.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7MDBugtha
"So, you yourself do not have a Gift just yet, Arsenio?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzLutCsSj9
"I haven't really felt anything, so no...I think."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdujdkoNpyx
Outside, bells begin to ring. Chrono looks up at the clock sitting across the room from him on the wall.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoRSY52a7V
"Ah...only an hour left..."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XYvbMF4Ud
"Is there anything else thou wants to say to us before thou becomes Father Time?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssQ7pXAu6x
"Use your Gift well, and I hope we get to see each other more in the future."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yCVSHE9tB
Chrono smiles genuinely.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGBOlZZn7K
"So, what now?" Arsenio says, picking his teeth.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllpnTgh01M
"Well, if you four are attending the ceremony, you'll have to be properly dressed."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnhPeclUms
"Well, Verna could've told us that earlier.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eABSKk56q
"Don't worry, we have a public closet full of gowns and suits for you to wear."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dqVOC69Wn
Chrono stands up, leads them upstairs and pulls open a closet door.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLO6NBiFcr
There were attire in every color of the rainbow.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SxJzH2E85
"Hey, now this is nice!" Catherine says, walking into the spacious closet.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyiV31CtDP
"Don't be afraid to pick whatever you want!" Chrono says, leaving.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KJgdH8Gr3
Trying to decide what attire to wear, the Prodigies pick the most extravagant and dazzling outfit that fit them the most.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8EAAzBWgz
The four take turns putting on their new clothes, which gleamed and twinkled in the light. Once the four return to the closet.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsoaDj78ML
"Looking nice girls.." Arsenio says.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPbu9z7dKX
"These shoes are gonna kill me later, but yeah, thanks.."
Catherine complained.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUV69rMWFP
"Now that that portion has been completed.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixrqlJhlqA
Nathaniel grabs Arsenio by the shoulder.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwudVqV8uO
"Arsenio. Thou shall come with me."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuthZfHcr6
He drags him away.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7VfjWA75h
"Hey uh, Nathaniel, what are you trying to do?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pctxAPPi1
"We must fix this hair of thine.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBztXWibhcJ
"Wait...Nate no, my hair is fine-"
Nathaniel pulls Arsenio outside.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOMY4xHzWq
"Well, it w-wouldn't be too wrong to d-do the same, would it?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgmRG7NdYU
"No, we can take turns doing each other's hair. That seems hella fun!"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1IYbVH65N
"O-okay!"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13iDRseFVE
Isabelle finds some combs, brushes, and hair accessories.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IqrgkpFIA
"N-now, what kind of hairstyle would you want?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiI9ShysyN
"Something simple, I guess. Not trying to impress anyone.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs4TuQDde7
Isabelle gets to unbraiding Catherine's hair, carefully and gracefully taking it apart. In the middle of brushing however, Isabelle stops.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloXvg3Fa9X
"Uhm...Catherine?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWdDd7p6Rc
"Yeah?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUkKLY1jTc
"There's a m-mark or something...on your neck.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCHGeHm50e
"Huh? What does it look like?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRMeczBegp
"It l-looks like something scratched you... you didn't g-get attacked b-by anything, did you?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi8YPbY6Ao
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.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuWyvmLBwG
"D-Do you have any allergies?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNoDkY6WWT
"I'm not supposed to."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHSjHoTi9i
"...Oh my.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3s3lMjoeW8
"I'm not too worried about it... it'll clear up soon..."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tfX4JjrF5
"...If you say so.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4O1l9hBc0
Isabelle continues to brush and straighten Catherine's hair. Before she knew it, Isabelle was already putting a flower pin neatly upon her head.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexLzcLvD9P
Isabelle puts a mirror in front of her face. "T-Tada!"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pfDsdbV6e
"Oh damn. That's actually really good."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdUpjVAYqL
"T-thank you.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EPwVYFPyM
They switch positions, with Catherine sitting behind Isabelle to do her hair.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ4tySh8Jw
"Is there anything specific you want to get?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVirzw8Eitu
"U-Uhm.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZauSF9oFJg
"Oh wait, I actually learned how to do this one hairstyle, French roll or something like that?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaY1027VoW
"Okay, that one t-then.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKrRgc6DrR
"Alright."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9gd30WiJQ
Catherine gathers all of Isabelle's hair, pulling it together, wrapping it around itself, until it looks like the hairstyle.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUmfQ7l878
"Crap, I don't have any hair pins.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM7PIaCeiX
"D-don't worry, I have a backup.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8HIuhGd6H
With her Gift, Isabelle sews the updo together until it fits securely, then places her own pin into her head.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnrOHgtdoK
"...That works too.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmENLBZ0MSK
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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlhb3nSbf9
"I still don't get why you did this, it was fine as it is.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVePLVIi3Q
"Trust me, thou would rather look like this."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B1P052faV
"I see the boys didn't have a good time picking out hairstyles." Catherine taunted.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsrqb4GPY3
"T-They do seem to be in a debate.." Isabelle added.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZJXpvwuX2
"It's gonna take forever to put my hair back now.." Arsenio protested.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLfxEU7m3x
"Let's not w-worry about that... we're supposed t-to have fun.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA5xYQhtmq
"Yeah, I guess that's true..."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpskM4VI5y
There was thirty more minutes left. Still plenty of time to waste. Chrono comes back to check on them.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi74k3j2aO
"Ah, looking exquisite Prodigies!" Chrono praises them. "I'm sure you'll be the best looking ones out there!"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL39k4cbNO
"Eh, I doubt it, but I feel a lot prettier in this poofy thing.." Catherine flutters the ends of her dress.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqn5wDRUyz9
"Ah, don't be so modest, you look great!"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJRFc6qt6c
"Well, we still have lots of time. What should we do until then?" Arsenio asks.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxKeV0H5I6
"Why wait?" Chrono asks. "I can manipulate time at will. I'll just skip time a few minutes.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWiTIERnJH
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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphqM5xXfwa
"...That was...strange."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3hGpnhAbp
"Let's go. The ceremony's about to start."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdECVXEbUq
Catherine pushes Chrono out of the door. "We're right behind you, don't worry."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHZVhxl8JJ
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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVhUZkh14T
The crowd begins to applaud as Verna appears behind Chrono. She clears her throat.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9VbNexj7Q
"Welcome everyone, to Chrono's coronation. It's been a while since we've had one of these, huh?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTB3BsApdI
The crowd erupted into light laughter.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5eE67Vl7U
"Anyways," she continued. "let's get to the best part."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxP5YY8EKKM
She turns Chrono around, hold his hands gently.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKyRNtRjd4
"Do you solemnly swear, as long as you live, that you will fairly rule over the Time Realm?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhWCyS1fKz
Chrono silently nods.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62NosLwqPn
Verna releases his hands, opens her own, and in them, appears an extravagant crown which seemed to glow in the light.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1ZRo6nuNT
"Well then," she places it upon his head. "..you are now Father Time."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uV4SuOdgx
Everyone explodes into cheers. The Prodigies couldn't help but clap along.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSlRpTUlkl
"Now, let us commence. Grab a partner, for the party is about to begin!"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqY1zq1f16
Groups begin to pull apart into parties of two, music begins to fade in.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx0PXBjPlp
Catherine feels fluttery from the tension.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvgIkUkHDJ
"...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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZV87FvsKd
"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."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEeXa2phXq
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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLF1QTnnxJY
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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybsN5bw6LA
"Does thou plan to do this at every party?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH5w9WW8Zu
Catherine finds the source of the tension. She knew Nathaniel was standing behind her the entire time. Without looking back, she responds.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0lfvZqroO
"I don't have anything else to do. Why'd you follow me anyway?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HFljGidKg
"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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaS2tHBHrcn
"Nate, you dumbass..."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1FpcGIJhe
"Hm?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCv3G4rCTv
"You have jam and crap all over your face.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVaPGzTN7b
She pulls a napkin, and is just about to hand it to him, when a voice yells in pain, quieting the party to silence.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8lrMH363G
"...What's going on?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJctjLuBbe
"I am not sure."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVsp3lsDRo
"...Boost me."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqpup4578V
"What?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalSehp31KW
Catherine struggles to climb up Nathaniel. Once she reaches his shoulders, her eyes catch something unexpected.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpU6ARZluj
"It's...Chrono.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCodEzi2Ign
The two push participants out of the way.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ1MLVFO5T
"I was worried about his hands and..." a girl whispered towards them.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlh6laDF9q
"Don't worry, we've got this."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8tOAcNTkE
It seems like his Gift was finally coming into play.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsudQ1k0Iq
"Chrono...are you alright?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nnrmtNDmE
Chrono grabs the edge of Catherine's dress to pull himself up.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZvWsPcnzB
"I'm fine, really! My Gift just... activated all on it's own.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2z0dhkP67
As he stands up, everyone could see his Gift's true form. His face was plated halfway with gold, just as his arms were.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUGh2zi3ch
"But seriously, I'm fine!"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlok09qaCZo
More of his face became jagged.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONEt2rhlRT
"... Let's go. Nate, you get Arsenio and Isabelle."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJMiMV39e1
Catherine pulled Chrono away from the party, taking him back the House of Father Time.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG5IAWclqw
"Okay, Chrono...what happened?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf95r2P7sH
"I-I think the stress...plus the demonstration from this morning..."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXaLGzdfGO
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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2phEUHM9c6
"C-Chrono? Are you okay?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphAH0TRUY9
"I-I am f-fine, Prodigies...this is just what happens...It's a little painful, though..."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqGb2nQluI
More barbs rip around his body, horns even start to curve from his head.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZau24jhdG
"O-Oh goodness.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEkeDcNFCs
"I just have to...fight it. I can't hurt anyone if..."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzwKGeOzD0
His breathing gets heavier than stones.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzVjVT2Fid
"Is there anyone we can get for help?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KetniVYwJ
"You don't need to bring anyone. Just...leave before it.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNUJtWQYK8
Without thinking, Chrono threw a glass from a table right beside him.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkFiXGkbTT
"Okay okay! Let's calm down.." Arsenio says, recovering from dodging.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j0iz5jVes
"I-I can't! It's going to..."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi2o1AjbrT
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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKKRdDS3rg
Catherine simply used Phasing to break her fall, diving into the floor.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQL6Kd8nCc
The voice from before called again. "There she is again!"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul1deye3Y7
"...Who the hell are you? What do you want?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVbq23kg4y
She saw a stripe of bright cyan wave past her. Catherine tried desperately to find where the line went.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWN1XiN4zg
"...Behind you.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYufFmvaEka
Catherine turned around to see the menacing face of a dragon staring back at her. She was about to take a breath to scream.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrqFWubUDe
"Hey, don't scream. I just want to know how you got here."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZnqwQRtWm
Catherine confusingly looks.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCrzQ9pgxV
"This is my Gift...I can phase through crap like it's water. I broke my fall from a building.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqgxvcDTVd
"Oh, you must be the person I marked yesterday. Makes sense, I guess.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquKAcSsrBd
"M-Marked?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw98QShF2yk
"That itch you could never satisfy." It points towards Catherine's neck.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtpPL0VHHW
"...Wait, that was you?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuO4IV71SVU
The serpent playfully clears it's throat before bellowing menacingly.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHNSR2FhIJ
"Allow me to become you, and I shall spare your life!"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9L3ACuG4g
"...Do I get other abilities other than falling through stuff?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mlntaePSq
The dragon shrugs. "I think so?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ABsPxNZfk
"Great. Come on then."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt78Ydtlo6s
It phases through Catherine, unlocking a surge of energy and power within her.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38WjVZotYj
Catherine climbs out of the dimension as the others were looking for her.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ2nCTkwpc
"Sorry if I scared you guys.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz6eUe3fXE
"Catherine! Y-you're okay!"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZsfGzzvYX
"Yeah, I just got a new friend."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1bhx6W3sv
The dragon only appeared as a ghost coiled around her body.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLPz5bS3i6
"And her name is?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoekkymR4EA
"Not sure.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkNqg03es4
Like a ghost, the dragon swapped her soul with Catherine's.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdT3xkII3LX
"Piravit. My name is Piravit, the Spiritual Dragon of Phasing. I have chosen Catherine here as my host..."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxPDTAnvA1
"Thou is...possessing her.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyuJRtP1vx
"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."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYxeFreOnR
"Cool. Now...about him.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAasuWdBcF8
Arsenio points at the shattered window that Catherine fell out of.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLPNuBBpAN
Chrono's roar echoed throughout the realm as he perched on the window.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9Th5VtQh6
"Oi! You have some explaining to do!"
Catherine says as she takes back control of her body.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9cXWPpEp3
"...Catherine, that's the Time Beast!"
Piravit says as a echoing voice inside her head.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYH3MamCs6
"Eh? That's Chrono, that's just his Gift."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkJ8oFovjZ
"Like you, he's been marked. If he sees me with you, he'll kill us both!"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkK1vTm7G0
As on cue, Chrono jumps down right in front of Catherine, as if analyzing her. Then with angry aura, throws her again.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmsEw13ASc
Catherine hits the ground, tumbling.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOpeFJxGt9
She struggles to pick herself up, as Chrono runs towards her.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2jsvwl0t6
"What the hell did you do for him to get pissed off?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9itmCD8Ml
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.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzUxVHImp6
"You have gotta be kidding me!"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkR7yT175x
"But don't worry! I'm sure if we beat him, he'll come to his senses!"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKYMWs0TgQ
Chrono pulls a punch towards them, only to be stopped by Isabelle's thread.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RlikRx0es
"C-Chrono! You h-have to come t-to your senses!"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ9GAkjdVJ
"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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSvIsfTiAE
"I-I'm sorry...I can't k-keep him still..."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WIS287Ffk
"It's alright! You've spared me some time!"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVJSQVZYx5
"Let me take over!" Piravit immediately pulls Catherine out, becoming the one in control.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYHGmA9Evs
As soon as Chrono began a barrage of punches, Piravit pulls away, but was able to only dodge a few before tanking them.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyyg14xiYQ
"He's way too fast! I can't get a hit on him!"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k5iOVfzTy
As Chrono kept punching her in the chest, Piravit, in Catherine's body, was thinking of ideas, pondering as hard as her breathing.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sz3AoVcYy
Piravit begins to punch rapidly in response, until the two stop.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ9ggiDc5G
"I have to say..." Piravit states tauntingly. " You've given me quite the workout since I left my dimension-"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MCKPr7vyY
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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXThvxrTdtY
"So, p-playing dirty are we?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuroDtWtWG
Chrono responds with an angry, but silent, glare.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKAw2ki7sQ
"Great, I like games without rules..."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7Kj6U1kYz
Piravit phases back into the floor. When they return to the Phasing Dimension, the two separate.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8IocincEM
"Okay, so new plan..."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4hu4mflVV
Catherine coughs as she feels the after effects of earlier.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jKOdXxFJ0
"You better think of something and fast..."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7dmI5U4Jb
"There's one last thing we can do, but you have to follow a specific set of rules and-"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4JYqYv0kh
"Nevermind... I'll figure something out.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26oU4LL4lN
Catherine jumps from the dimension and behind Chrono, where she sneakily kicks him.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZIkrzla9Z
Piravit follows shortly behind her.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme2Fe89pHy
She kneels down towards Chrono.
"Well? Are you having fun yet? Not fun being attacked without noticing, huh?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSslJrOJ3M
Chrono swipes at Catherine's arm, barely cutting her.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOGtov1zVT
"...Nah. Didn't think so.." she says, standing up. "Didn't know you'd get this bad.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0QGcef3Td
She picks him up. "Come on. Let's finish this so you can go back to normal at least. I have things to do.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98vvLnTjwP
Catherine stands in a fighting position.
"I'll only use my power alone."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WVJ3UM3PC
"Then allow me to join you." Arsenio says, standing beside her.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjpS84vjb8
"What are you gonna do, flirt him to death?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSOMABepGq
"I actually had something else in mind.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2kayaMoNq
Arsenio was finally able to conjure a Gift, as an arm cannon faded to fit on top of his hand.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtHdJNFjTC
"I wanted to test this thing, you know?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT0KTaRvqi
"...Whatever."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEb3HPGvFX
"Come forward..." Chrono says menacingly.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmc8YroyTU
"Whatever you say, your Majesty."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGURsFmrO7
As the two-on-one began, more of the participants of the ceremony began to watch from a distance.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMxcujBOVN
"Seems like we've made quite an audience.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhjdWgROLL
"Let's make this the best coronation the Time Realm has ever seen.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h2WtjiyPC
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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5yi3U6DYa
With a sharp yell, time itself began to slow.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECNCdLRCjl
"Damnit! We're stuck until.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WY7pHCUaG
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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdU0AcCjDh
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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDZcBZ00Q6
"...I don't think we're gonna make it if he keeps stopping time like that.." She says, spitting up blood and standing up.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHKVe3ohWW
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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEUYWHKhBm
Catherine jumps up.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE9uxXPRnD
"You're welcome!" Arsenio says from afar.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAzZZclFGi
"Thanks! Keep looking for openings!"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUMpP5vEC5
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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk9r07Nwqo
"A-alright...you've proven your worth.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1pTUl21fv
"Is this Chrono we're speaking to?" Arsenio asks as his Gift charges up once again and picks Catherine up.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEciYepDlio
"I-I'm not sure.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EjaH02AuS
"Make sure you're sure. I'd hate to hit you with this thing for no reason."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotS0Pzfjy6
"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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ3va9FGtQ
Chrono shakes his head. "N-nevermind! Let us continue with the celebration, yes?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTwTVhXsg1
"To be honest, I'm worn out..."
Catherine huffed. "You're like...crazy strong."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OpkR4tpMj
"I-I'll make it up to you, I swear!"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a71pufk8k
Piravit peeks from the floor. "Can I come out now?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNavy5cTd48
"Depends.." Chrono says. "Are you willing to take your side of the deal?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvcl5Esfah
"Eep!" Piravit says, coiling itself around Catherine and hiding behind her. "A-Ah! My part of the deal...?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMVbj52sEo
"You shall give me full entry to your dimension. That was your promise to me."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VVo6vjeDs
"...Fine. But you can't keep using Chrono as a vessel for your battles."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ocEaQhFpL
Chrono stares for a second, before hitting the ground, parts of his golden shell chipping off.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2PgnM7DCZ
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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzy6x3dEAd
"He's suppressed his power...I think."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcliIa7P564
"Wait, they have a gender?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuy1WT8V0B
"Yeah..." Piravit answered. "It is quite obvious that I'm female. No whiskers, see?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Buy5420lw
"I guess.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyjHxMeXKp
"Catherine! Arsenio!" Isabelle says, stumbling her own feet. "A-Are you two alright?"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCzfoqG43U
"I'm good. Not sure about Catherine though."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXcuM9ozIb
"Nah, I'll be alright. I don't think he broke anything."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVV4udfs7H
Nathaniel also approaches them with another tart in hand.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCqZqxWo8V
"Nate! You just had one of those things!"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyzBhQfSz2
"I must try every single flavor." He says taking another giant bite.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopG7XG0H5G
"..M-Maybe we should g-go.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchT2pPfzZE
"Are you sure? We can just...continue the party as normal.."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiub1Al2CNs
Arsenio shrugs. "Seems like a plan to me."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM77LlmUF9
Slowly, the music begins to play. Partners begin to group together. It was like the party was uninterrupted the entire time.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTllHnDnZMe
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.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOuHLnRKFE
After the party, the Prodigies carried Chrono back into the House of Father Time.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2V0cBqDoB
"Thank you, you four. Hopefully I can get around with solving some of your Timebreaker problems sometime!"
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QOriGmyEt
"We'd greatly appreciate it. We don't know how strong the next one'll be."
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnfsMXmkHQ
Chrono waves them away as they go back to the Sanctuary. Ezra was already asleep when they returned, wrapped up in a blanket.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLHwJLD3cE
"Well, we should get some rest too."
Catherine announced.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pdRyyrVv4
"Way ahead of you." Arsenio says, dropping into the bed.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJ2s6rJmHl
Everyone puts themselves to bed for the night, and the Prodigies fall asleep.
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJhFMWXUGV
Silently, in the middle of the night, someone's Tempural Energy swarmed the room...
461Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiry8HAGoT0
