"Rise and shine, Prodigies!" Verna's peppy voice awoken the group. "Let's get ready for the coronation of Father Time today!"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx41fkC0Vpm
Catherine scratches her neck as she pushes the quilt off. "Coronation?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXIKVwkiEN
"Apparently, a new Father Time is to be crowned today." Nathaniel states, stretching.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiCPH3I1sr
"Your mission today is to just watch over the new guy before the celebration begins. Pretty easy, right?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgB9cURv9SP
"Wait...our job today is to be a goddamn babysitter?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZqI8jxbmF
"If that's how you view it, yes. But as a reward, you get to go to the after-party!"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3wRaM0CUF
"That at least solves dinner..." Ezra thinks aloud.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oAQz9jlxq
"Breakfast will be served once you get there, so just put on your clothes and shoes and...look a little presentable.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9AlJ6oqVr
"No prob.." Arsenio says. "Let me just get my morning tea before I go.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXP4ZQV45QG
"T-Tea?" Isabelle asks while brushing her hair.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xeCeH8oKt
"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."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUew56RUJDp
"...Alright then..." Arsenio says, slowly sitting down and sliding his hands in his coat pockets. "I'll just wait until later then.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttwc2MFmAc
"Is everyone ready?" Verna asks, peeking into the room as she does so.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKnzAlzUrX
"I think so.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70WaMVa1Ed
"Good, good!" she fully opens the doors to let the Prodigies out. "Then, let's go, shall we?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxMKNeMHYG
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq6sIT2Qkp
"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."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQbrOYcCrO
"...Is it because he's blonde?" Catherine remarked.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRcVHKgM1u
"... That might have had a influence on the nickname, yes."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWDyeZgFX7
They watched as walked stone faced across to the home of Father Time.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7k5G7GJAF
"Let's go." Verna says, instructing them to follow Chrono.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbnBIZVlxS
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsxws9LorI
"Hello?" Catherine waited for a response.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfrtrM7TSh
"J-Just a minute!" A voice called out before crashing and falling is heard. Then, from the stairs emerged Chrono.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzOqBC9w4V
"Verna, very nice to see you again. And these four might be?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9SnZ8Jbcw
"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."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fUycjhZbU
"I see..."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRhKvRaN6D
"Thanks again for doing this, guys."
Verna time warps away.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUdWw8KUqE
"...Which one of you is which? I just don't want to be confused.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zKIPtSmA1
They introduce themselves once again, giving him some clarity.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtzHItnqSm
"Ah, well it's nice to meet all of you."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7OZuVipIn
"Verna t-told us that w-we would have s-some breakfast.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmVPkNEEEJ
"Of course. You've come here quite early, so I'm sure you four are starving."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSje4NVp15
"Yeah..." Catherine agreed, lightly holding her stomach.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5StjrZWDcc
"I thought so. I've prepared something, so don't worry."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoezk5pGAmz
Chrono brandishes a golden door, which he promptly throws open and reveals some nice breakfast meals, already plated and ready to eat.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlCzt3HDxG
"You m-made all of this yourself?!" Catherine exclaimed, impressed.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRSKcbtaPl
"I was just planning on making food for myself, but I didn't want to be rude.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoIc8sMdV9
"It does look rather...delectable..." Nathaniel says, clearing his throat.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW0o8rxwAw
"Well, shall we eat or watch it get cold?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDfpDHXvJ5
The four Prodigies and the Son of Time all sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast, basically wolfing down the entire plate before them.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmv7Jz3k1W
"Man, that was good..." Arsenio says, stretching in his seat.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eNGMK1RSB
"I'm glad you enjoyed. It's very difficult to find people who enjoy similar interests to me."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xhL6lrNPr
"Now what? Do you just read books and whatnot?" Catherine asked, taking the last sip of her drink.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOclj2Mwax
"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.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmeWLVEPEQ
"Then why not join us? From what we've experienced, we certainly need the help." Arsenio asks, leaned back in his chair.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJDPy7zcNc
"I was never suited for things like that, unfortunately..." Chrono sighs. "My Gift is also a little...hard to control."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHjrgFmTbG
"...Can we see it?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI28c9zCcb
Chrono begins to rub his arms as guilt and embarrassment threw itself on his face.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKqlFCDyOa
"You can say no, you know..." Catherine speaks. "No one's forcing you."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSXcA90Utq
"It's...complicated."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HHmT6E9F0
"That's u-understandable...I have a Gift I can't quite c-control myself..."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrPoQ60sQD
Dawlly immediately pops itself out of Isabelle's pocket with an annoyed look.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhd6RF8qyt
"I-It's true..." she looks at Dawlly with the same annoyed look.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eF82uCElj
"Interesting.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1QAoo10LP
"Is there anything else you like to do other than read and fantasize?" Catherine asks.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrp5aSHHes
"I like to learn more about my Gift."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDGWBBFaOF
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡay0q6DTdDY
"O-oh my.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcae0ZNSxI
"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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblQGQqyEED
"So, what's your Gift? I'm sure you four have gotten one.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrtq2TNhq0
Catherine nudges Nathaniel. "You show yours first. You're the supposed leader."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgNZi7plYT
"I have never said that I was a leader..."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN13G9ylPBe
"W-Well..." Isabelle added. "You d-do know the most out of all of us..."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYFR3keLm9
"...Fine.." Nathaniel reluctantly agrees.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFZsb7z76R
First, his arm, then up to his shoulder, until his entire body was covered in armor.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG1ZtkLzPF
"You never told me you could do that.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnbEzcVS54
"I feel as if there is... no need to use the full Gift. It is...uncomfortable.." He speaks from within the suit.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fys5HUwhZ
"Well, get the hell out of it then..."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuzK8JKLTV
He removes himself from the armor, reverting back to his velvet clothes.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7viGUTrcAs
"Well, since thou wants to assume roles, maybe thou would like to go next, co-leader?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUzbSMjClV
"Of course you pin this crap on me.." Catherine growled. "But sure, why not?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQL6lL2drY
She slips through her chair, and all the way through the floor.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKTT2mujae
It was like she was in her own dimension, her escape from reality. She swam around as she heard the others from above.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoaFln29qr
That's when she heard a voice calling her name from the distance.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9321d5uRJg
"Hello?" The voice creepily whispered.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY3GH7Aw0F
"The hell?" She exclaimed. That freaked her out enough to pull herself out of the Phasing dimension.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8p94sjXfN
She gasped, as if she was underwater when she crawled out.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxbgLmZI7F
"You alright? You've been in the floor for quite a while..." Arsenio mentioned.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5DIL5MYJ1
"...Yeah, something just... freaked me out.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KKS9kYCq8
She slides back in her seat...
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYmgrzospl
"I-I'll go next..." Isabelle announces. Within seconds, the threads began pulling themselves out of her sleeves.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCEaom73dd
"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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPB3OMwYbIO
"I just had to wake up today! Is it wrong to get some sleep around here?!"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUbBhNcqAX
Dawlly smiles innocently as Isabelle continues to roar.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDEwhXwVq0
"Don't worry, I've got this.." Arsenio stands up. "Trust me, my charm is irresistible."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPuGEMTk9c
He grabs her wrists, looks her deep into her eyes..
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHYRmsWH2U
"Ah, great..." Catherine grumbled, rolling her eyes.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUmMVBIVcQ
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that you look adorable when you're angry?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNjUh34el9
Isabelle, easily flustered and caught off guard, immediately snaps back to her timid self.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiHkvO2ZOT
"See?" He points out. "It's like a secret perk I have." He starts throwing up two pieces of jewelry.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRhOHunDrJ
Isabelle immediately feels her ears.
"M-my earrings!"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTEAaBuLKJ
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."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGmRunM8nr
Isabelle just kept turning red as she puts back on her earrings.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeSK0t4PhZ
"So, you yourself do not have a Gift just yet, Arsenio?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFIju0Y1Du
"I haven't really felt anything, so no...I think."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IapaeLPmh
Outside, bells begin to ring. Chrono looks up at the clock sitting across the room from him on the wall.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD4ahsXndE
"Ah...only an hour left..."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfJJsOL4m7
"Is there anything else thou wants to say to us before thou becomes Father Time?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YKMUM1wGI
"Use your Gift well, and I hope we get to see each other more in the future."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyz8JCBLl5
Chrono smiles genuinely.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2BroYu3tR
"So, what now?" Arsenio says, picking his teeth.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkPAvyd8bW
"Well, if you four are attending the ceremony, you'll have to be properly dressed."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRYXpBoKUe
"Well, Verna could've told us that earlier.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UJXCl91mQ
"Don't worry, we have a public closet full of gowns and suits for you to wear."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN7R43ZncN
Chrono stands up, leads them upstairs and pulls open a closet door.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw6nLIWRqP
There were attire in every color of the rainbow.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKPhlDqLAr
"Hey, now this is nice!" Catherine says, walking into the spacious closet.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ135yGScUAf
"Don't be afraid to pick whatever you want!" Chrono says, leaving.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloRJQWWbqS
Trying to decide what attire to wear, the Prodigies pick the most extravagant and dazzling outfit that fit them the most.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhkhm1Ogqf
The four take turns putting on their new clothes, which gleamed and twinkled in the light. Once the four return to the closet.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYgEuJNEhf
"Looking nice girls.." Arsenio says.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmK82U1RlFe
"These shoes are gonna kill me later, but yeah, thanks.."
Catherine complained.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqblIISu2I
"Now that that portion has been completed.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcGGPwstPA
Nathaniel grabs Arsenio by the shoulder.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3AmlzGJ0y
"Arsenio. Thou shall come with me."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21t4Kk0NCU
He drags him away.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV56YXODpo
"Hey uh, Nathaniel, what are you trying to do?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4eK3TUZVP
"We must fix this hair of thine.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRecQ7UK1tU
"Wait...Nate no, my hair is fine-"
Nathaniel pulls Arsenio outside.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVxOHGtESS
"Well, it w-wouldn't be too wrong to d-do the same, would it?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhJe1qgLvr
"No, we can take turns doing each other's hair. That seems hella fun!"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4FHTCRIPq
"O-okay!"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSDJ28HESy
Isabelle finds some combs, brushes, and hair accessories.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWTeoBkiL5
"N-now, what kind of hairstyle would you want?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojCSgIqVUh
"Something simple, I guess. Not trying to impress anyone.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsEg0xXhwu
Isabelle gets to unbraiding Catherine's hair, carefully and gracefully taking it apart. In the middle of brushing however, Isabelle stops.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IWjLdknKv
"Uhm...Catherine?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yFkQyKGLy
"Yeah?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWkc7J9whs
"There's a m-mark or something...on your neck.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNpZ1iQvaQ
"Huh? What does it look like?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIhTsBKgsx
"It l-looks like something scratched you... you didn't g-get attacked b-by anything, did you?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4WXjf05pn
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.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPJxiE1uhe
"D-Do you have any allergies?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1Qlmj01aH
"I'm not supposed to."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouGGe02087
"...Oh my.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ132tD18nGg
"I'm not too worried about it... it'll clear up soon..."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp35g92aaT
"...If you say so.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjVUV2zVR4
Isabelle continues to brush and straighten Catherine's hair. Before she knew it, Isabelle was already putting a flower pin neatly upon her head.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCVQJkro3R
Isabelle puts a mirror in front of her face. "T-Tada!"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPNEXlyCtz
"Oh damn. That's actually really good."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzA3ummGJV
"T-thank you.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifu0TJFpYN
They switch positions, with Catherine sitting behind Isabelle to do her hair.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci7K3tjglT
"Is there anything specific you want to get?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy5bw7OaiG
"U-Uhm.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xSVRQuXYx
"Oh wait, I actually learned how to do this one hairstyle, French roll or something like that?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX65yZOEDSj
"Okay, that one t-then.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XSHZK2V34
"Alright."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOi6Y2PAsU
Catherine gathers all of Isabelle's hair, pulling it together, wrapping it around itself, until it looks like the hairstyle.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0D3vOnpRM
"Crap, I don't have any hair pins.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdn61NO3oa
"D-don't worry, I have a backup.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wrLInzb0Q
With her Gift, Isabelle sews the updo together until it fits securely, then places her own pin into her head.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB2RTddMoa
"...That works too.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsOTkkrS3W
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoePHeS6MW5
"I still don't get why you did this, it was fine as it is.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uVkXj8CF2
"Trust me, thou would rather look like this."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SoiZgBVmk
"I see the boys didn't have a good time picking out hairstyles." Catherine taunted.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt9d7qK3z3
"T-They do seem to be in a debate.." Isabelle added.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMH1bAE64p
"It's gonna take forever to put my hair back now.." Arsenio protested.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TQZ0J3c5k
"Let's not w-worry about that... we're supposed t-to have fun.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTG0fyWYhB
"Yeah, I guess that's true..."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUeqQLsEJ5
There was thirty more minutes left. Still plenty of time to waste. Chrono comes back to check on them.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkqKEZm3RQ
"Ah, looking exquisite Prodigies!" Chrono praises them. "I'm sure you'll be the best looking ones out there!"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvkTYcG6wS
"Eh, I doubt it, but I feel a lot prettier in this poofy thing.." Catherine flutters the ends of her dress.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsx6CU5dcCW
"Ah, don't be so modest, you look great!"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3Fwf5HPgu
"Well, we still have lots of time. What should we do until then?" Arsenio asks.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrnOo2JqEu
"Why wait?" Chrono asks. "I can manipulate time at will. I'll just skip time a few minutes.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCbwCkwHAd
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckmPokDyS4
"...That was...strange."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQl4dAEgk54
"Let's go. The ceremony's about to start."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKDOSqqfx2
Catherine pushes Chrono out of the door. "We're right behind you, don't worry."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgmJzcoLNe
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQV9rvvqHs
The crowd begins to applaud as Verna appears behind Chrono. She clears her throat.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ph63B78hZ
"Welcome everyone, to Chrono's coronation. It's been a while since we've had one of these, huh?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPQpa3d1c0
The crowd erupted into light laughter.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjME7iYAGE
"Anyways," she continued. "let's get to the best part."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDhW0WdLvE
She turns Chrono around, hold his hands gently.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb14Vl71nnQ
"Do you solemnly swear, as long as you live, that you will fairly rule over the Time Realm?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7xyWO1Ptt
Chrono silently nods.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ2arnTqy4
Verna releases his hands, opens her own, and in them, appears an extravagant crown which seemed to glow in the light.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLtuy6nrDf
"Well then," she places it upon his head. "..you are now Father Time."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yNuT6VzjS
Everyone explodes into cheers. The Prodigies couldn't help but clap along.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8JGxLk8w5
"Now, let us commence. Grab a partner, for the party is about to begin!"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWBjlDS7lJ
Groups begin to pull apart into parties of two, music begins to fade in.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8QgGnGQL4
Catherine feels fluttery from the tension.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdS5XGrYj5
"...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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MI4c8JqYU
"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."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aJvQWYckn
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnxb7sTKTX
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeVpG9srZu
"Does thou plan to do this at every party?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVEE68PK75
Catherine finds the source of the tension. She knew Nathaniel was standing behind her the entire time. Without looking back, she responds.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SJsgppPCj
"I don't have anything else to do. Why'd you follow me anyway?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEviNP3vVO
"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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ634xIoZ6Ng
"Nate, you dumbass..."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegofS14JbI
"Hm?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxowmqIRnc
"You have jam and crap all over your face.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡca0Fkxue2m
She pulls a napkin, and is just about to hand it to him, when a voice yells in pain, quieting the party to silence.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YU31IuKst
"...What's going on?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWw62YrcgA
"I am not sure."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWqbM6iisA
"...Boost me."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKgdhfaMfS
"What?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe0lAnuCyF
Catherine struggles to climb up Nathaniel. Once she reaches his shoulders, her eyes catch something unexpected.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXUnnUYYf3
"It's...Chrono.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrw0SUimtPG
The two push participants out of the way.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVwkPy3Ais
"I was worried about his hands and..." a girl whispered towards them.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh69UPQwlly
"Don't worry, we've got this."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4W6x5qNps
It seems like his Gift was finally coming into play.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mZrBz0Qep
"Chrono...are you alright?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i0mMWnzfl
Chrono grabs the edge of Catherine's dress to pull himself up.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRz2vyAXkb
"I'm fine, really! My Gift just... activated all on it's own.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdFvfm90ln
As he stands up, everyone could see his Gift's true form. His face was plated halfway with gold, just as his arms were.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZFDki9ezo
"But seriously, I'm fine!"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfle4LmXP8V
More of his face became jagged.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT0hUL0UiJ
"... Let's go. Nate, you get Arsenio and Isabelle."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW4s6eo5cx
Catherine pulled Chrono away from the party, taking him back the House of Father Time.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZChBhSpyy2
"Okay, Chrono...what happened?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLmbOBIa7s
"I-I think the stress...plus the demonstration from this morning..."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQKK0TgLs0
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7BL49FX1R
"C-Chrono? Are you okay?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6KwesVyVu
"I-I am f-fine, Prodigies...this is just what happens...It's a little painful, though..."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeC7HINzHs
More barbs rip around his body, horns even start to curve from his head.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGhz25Zu1M
"O-Oh goodness.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DxhZwc43k
"I just have to...fight it. I can't hurt anyone if..."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiNBlVLjg8
His breathing gets heavier than stones.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eBxOo4F4N
"Is there anyone we can get for help?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirKEAm1Q6D
"You don't need to bring anyone. Just...leave before it.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwGCY9QWma
Without thinking, Chrono threw a glass from a table right beside him.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghu6G6Sevz
"Okay okay! Let's calm down.." Arsenio says, recovering from dodging.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T5xpiVNky
"I-I can't! It's going to..."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau5uYP6Kxf
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2IIVttxPrk
Catherine simply used Phasing to break her fall, diving into the floor.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS9kHLka5P
The voice from before called again. "There she is again!"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBx87bYJwhT
"...Who the hell are you? What do you want?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDXiZ1Hohb
She saw a stripe of bright cyan wave past her. Catherine tried desperately to find where the line went.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfaJi1sXcD
"...Behind you.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfcDOYkXnz
Catherine turned around to see the menacing face of a dragon staring back at her. She was about to take a breath to scream.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZfWZXROuU
"Hey, don't scream. I just want to know how you got here."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLW5yY0UlX
Catherine confusingly looks.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tvESWkaju
"This is my Gift...I can phase through crap like it's water. I broke my fall from a building.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRvV6i30aF
"Oh, you must be the person I marked yesterday. Makes sense, I guess.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl2gVGYjBJ
"M-Marked?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXQXSpqcuS
"That itch you could never satisfy." It points towards Catherine's neck.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNJArrRViC
"...Wait, that was you?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxli3zbg1u
The serpent playfully clears it's throat before bellowing menacingly.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6U1AckT7K
"Allow me to become you, and I shall spare your life!"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSP6qeyr3y
"...Do I get other abilities other than falling through stuff?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiddcot7pUq
The dragon shrugs. "I think so?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyksqnwvfVP
"Great. Come on then."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN3dNKiyrm
It phases through Catherine, unlocking a surge of energy and power within her.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdQwJtybh9
Catherine climbs out of the dimension as the others were looking for her.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH20Ehze7S
"Sorry if I scared you guys.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKPuXvtbQU
"Catherine! Y-you're okay!"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhndpxLh427
"Yeah, I just got a new friend."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ65D0efI9
The dragon only appeared as a ghost coiled around her body.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnLhK5uiFn
"And her name is?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxytnocQsBL
"Not sure.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E1TGPGIp3
Like a ghost, the dragon swapped her soul with Catherine's.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQKv5IxCED
"Piravit. My name is Piravit, the Spiritual Dragon of Phasing. I have chosen Catherine here as my host..."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDj3tnvgyx
"Thou is...possessing her.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkv8CUnkGI
"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."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDJT3NMxqU
"Cool. Now...about him.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyoKA8GnAR
Arsenio points at the shattered window that Catherine fell out of.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfclVxotsTF
Chrono's roar echoed throughout the realm as he perched on the window.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC7OX1Ikoz
"Oi! You have some explaining to do!"
Catherine says as she takes back control of her body.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSib3P0zmv
"...Catherine, that's the Time Beast!"
Piravit says as a echoing voice inside her head.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauwB7pniy3
"Eh? That's Chrono, that's just his Gift."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWGhvMSV6y
"Like you, he's been marked. If he sees me with you, he'll kill us both!"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPIj5L9fYB
As on cue, Chrono jumps down right in front of Catherine, as if analyzing her. Then with angry aura, throws her again.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHKcS0Qbs9
Catherine hits the ground, tumbling.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryUQ0mIqy6
She struggles to pick herself up, as Chrono runs towards her.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRsM4TSvvr
"What the hell did you do for him to get pissed off?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuW7AlQag8S
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.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNsGMINWqp
"You have gotta be kidding me!"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxPiFcTF8d
"But don't worry! I'm sure if we beat him, he'll come to his senses!"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTQubMyUWp
Chrono pulls a punch towards them, only to be stopped by Isabelle's thread.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzY1tcdSo3
"C-Chrono! You h-have to come t-to your senses!"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuB5NliD9WS
"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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY0UABI2ox
"I-I'm sorry...I can't k-keep him still..."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYIo14INpf
"It's alright! You've spared me some time!"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjGyfN1Cnr
"Let me take over!" Piravit immediately pulls Catherine out, becoming the one in control.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1y6lXMbt3
As soon as Chrono began a barrage of punches, Piravit pulls away, but was able to only dodge a few before tanking them.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisoo6drs3Z
"He's way too fast! I can't get a hit on him!"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmLvHsx0d2
As Chrono kept punching her in the chest, Piravit, in Catherine's body, was thinking of ideas, pondering as hard as her breathing.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi9XwnQOfR
Piravit begins to punch rapidly in response, until the two stop.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFxoFWPQ0a
"I have to say..." Piravit states tauntingly. " You've given me quite the workout since I left my dimension-"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7Dw13LKj3
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZCH0G8ts2
"So, p-playing dirty are we?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnuMIN7wM4
Chrono responds with an angry, but silent, glare.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZhVnlTfwm
"Great, I like games without rules..."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dbF3tdvFA
Piravit phases back into the floor. When they return to the Phasing Dimension, the two separate.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yhjK7JA4k
"Okay, so new plan..."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaf9049veA4
Catherine coughs as she feels the after effects of earlier.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOZGcpt5Ma
"You better think of something and fast..."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnrOnjkUZl
"There's one last thing we can do, but you have to follow a specific set of rules and-"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCCkrEw4vk
"Nevermind... I'll figure something out.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiP2aoiFBX
Catherine jumps from the dimension and behind Chrono, where she sneakily kicks him.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Lql4LgTE5
Piravit follows shortly behind her.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNRpUMVyR5
She kneels down towards Chrono.
"Well? Are you having fun yet? Not fun being attacked without noticing, huh?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleip9jx5Kk
Chrono swipes at Catherine's arm, barely cutting her.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcdrbNnkQF
"...Nah. Didn't think so.." she says, standing up. "Didn't know you'd get this bad.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFDi9Dojeo
She picks him up. "Come on. Let's finish this so you can go back to normal at least. I have things to do.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA95vyWLky
Catherine stands in a fighting position.
"I'll only use my power alone."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgK6e7dmNO
"Then allow me to join you." Arsenio says, standing beside her.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4nxzzLW4X
"What are you gonna do, flirt him to death?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7WEKp4WcM
"I actually had something else in mind.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LlDtcegSk
Arsenio was finally able to conjure a Gift, as an arm cannon faded to fit on top of his hand.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqXg80bewa
"I wanted to test this thing, you know?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BCkXmBBVv
"...Whatever."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmKYuErYqe
"Come forward..." Chrono says menacingly.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv865TWY1sy
"Whatever you say, your Majesty."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKycL64Ll7E
As the two-on-one began, more of the participants of the ceremony began to watch from a distance.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GURvytb8V
"Seems like we've made quite an audience.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaXM264xez
"Let's make this the best coronation the Time Realm has ever seen.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4nxPfskiP
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkgFSkKcUC
With a sharp yell, time itself began to slow.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtavrV20kF
"Damnit! We're stuck until.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtJGJWEYEO
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr507lVGfTY
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3vvr3doHc
"...I don't think we're gonna make it if he keeps stopping time like that.." She says, spitting up blood and standing up.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69RWB1Ta2E
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMduaLPU8u
Catherine jumps up.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kRc4C0BTl
"You're welcome!" Arsenio says from afar.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqudqJt48LX
"Thanks! Keep looking for openings!"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3apmqTDz0o
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBF9kjtZaGN
"A-alright...you've proven your worth.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQ2zyWGi2B
"Is this Chrono we're speaking to?" Arsenio asks as his Gift charges up once again and picks Catherine up.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkepfeYnzb3
"I-I'm not sure.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs9gyWqJN4
"Make sure you're sure. I'd hate to hit you with this thing for no reason."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡish7cbK0uT
"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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRE5zf17TT
Chrono shakes his head. "N-nevermind! Let us continue with the celebration, yes?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCULUtem7uS
"To be honest, I'm worn out..."
Catherine huffed. "You're like...crazy strong."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGjRwdG4i6
"I-I'll make it up to you, I swear!"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQyja2PUiY
Piravit peeks from the floor. "Can I come out now?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmlOJxfYrm
"Depends.." Chrono says. "Are you willing to take your side of the deal?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFND96iVY2
"Eep!" Piravit says, coiling itself around Catherine and hiding behind her. "A-Ah! My part of the deal...?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCBQhLeulj
"You shall give me full entry to your dimension. That was your promise to me."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEBwI9rN1h
"...Fine. But you can't keep using Chrono as a vessel for your battles."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCyWHpHI0C
Chrono stares for a second, before hitting the ground, parts of his golden shell chipping off.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ51Pjlaufu
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuh2D14Mx7r
"He's suppressed his power...I think."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ4CgFyb5l
"Wait, they have a gender?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNATgPeT2i
"Yeah..." Piravit answered. "It is quite obvious that I'm female. No whiskers, see?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoyrnnqHQI
"I guess.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwSHMXkle1
"Catherine! Arsenio!" Isabelle says, stumbling her own feet. "A-Are you two alright?"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xw469xHY0
"I'm good. Not sure about Catherine though."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZ714NxvlR
"Nah, I'll be alright. I don't think he broke anything."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uJns7Ap5W
Nathaniel also approaches them with another tart in hand.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIM9AG8jpG
"Nate! You just had one of those things!"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BmwCdsukf
"I must try every single flavor." He says taking another giant bite.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDPy0lI9XC
"..M-Maybe we should g-go.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0Rcfdkc1K
"Are you sure? We can just...continue the party as normal.."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqmRpTtxmY
Arsenio shrugs. "Seems like a plan to me."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8XPiypltC
Slowly, the music begins to play. Partners begin to group together. It was like the party was uninterrupted the entire time.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIrvh34wGX
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPhu258Jlq
After the party, the Prodigies carried Chrono back into the House of Father Time.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWncQE6f5al
"Thank you, you four. Hopefully I can get around with solving some of your Timebreaker problems sometime!"
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvlNg0IHHu
"We'd greatly appreciate it. We don't know how strong the next one'll be."
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtCK4LwHUx
Chrono waves them away as they go back to the Sanctuary. Ezra was already asleep when they returned, wrapped up in a blanket.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyxk7ebmIN
"Well, we should get some rest too."
Catherine announced.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkbroL5j3e
"Way ahead of you." Arsenio says, dropping into the bed.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSwiQvYj1N
Everyone puts themselves to bed for the night, and the Prodigies fall asleep.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ajPh9TsPR
Silently, in the middle of the night, someone's Tempural Energy swarmed the room...
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sNMEGcRoF
