"Rise and shine, Prodigies!" Verna's peppy voice awoken the group. "Let's get ready for the coronation of Father Time today!"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzV2OOivWu
Catherine scratches her neck as she pushes the quilt off. "Coronation?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbdkothgZy
"Apparently, a new Father Time is to be crowned today." Nathaniel states, stretching.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvIzIVWaev
"Your mission today is to just watch over the new guy before the celebration begins. Pretty easy, right?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TyCtMGx6S
"Wait...our job today is to be a goddamn babysitter?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dF9T0Z6fw
"If that's how you view it, yes. But as a reward, you get to go to the after-party!"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgQWsX0NZL
"That at least solves dinner..." Ezra thinks aloud.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ul8RrtEmn
"Breakfast will be served once you get there, so just put on your clothes and shoes and...look a little presentable.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRyjoocJyz
"No prob.." Arsenio says. "Let me just get my morning tea before I go.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsSJcpM36g
"T-Tea?" Isabelle asks while brushing her hair.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqyYW25ouE
"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."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hJ63wgYe1
"...Alright then..." Arsenio says, slowly sitting down and sliding his hands in his coat pockets. "I'll just wait until later then.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fk3GGCFit
"Is everyone ready?" Verna asks, peeking into the room as she does so.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OLPIi02pf
"I think so.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbZDznMN4J
"Good, good!" she fully opens the doors to let the Prodigies out. "Then, let's go, shall we?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLjKm5rBdp
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.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAbWRr2lrm
"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."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyztY6N9vG
"...Is it because he's blonde?" Catherine remarked.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntWWlGH6OW
"... That might have had a influence on the nickname, yes."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzS8l1TBXr
They watched as walked stone faced across to the home of Father Time.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHTI0YvjTR
"Let's go." Verna says, instructing them to follow Chrono.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCLmsTTXOh
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.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqFYYiwa02
"Hello?" Catherine waited for a response.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg8YRGPn6U
"J-Just a minute!" A voice called out before crashing and falling is heard. Then, from the stairs emerged Chrono.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPVlTf9f2f
"Verna, very nice to see you again. And these four might be?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabE107LbbT
"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."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHA57DVmhw
"I see..."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn1M3v6U1A
"Thanks again for doing this, guys."
Verna time warps away.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUYJ4vqbQO
"...Which one of you is which? I just don't want to be confused.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rZBqyTAPe
They introduce themselves once again, giving him some clarity.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PA73boND1
"Ah, well it's nice to meet all of you."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aOhpytvpg
"Verna t-told us that w-we would have s-some breakfast.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirDlHrjel9
"Of course. You've come here quite early, so I'm sure you four are starving."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01KpG3zhR2
"Yeah..." Catherine agreed, lightly holding her stomach.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttl3wTmgpy
"I thought so. I've prepared something, so don't worry."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2kARZlXbB
Chrono brandishes a golden door, which he promptly throws open and reveals some nice breakfast meals, already plated and ready to eat.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0h12Ri7jv
"You m-made all of this yourself?!" Catherine exclaimed, impressed.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHmE8ouLNG
"I was just planning on making food for myself, but I didn't want to be rude.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmtK9LIo8U
"It does look rather...delectable..." Nathaniel says, clearing his throat.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq65C7DecNH
"Well, shall we eat or watch it get cold?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY065YJ3oQ
The four Prodigies and the Son of Time all sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast, basically wolfing down the entire plate before them.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOM8455tDJ
"Man, that was good..." Arsenio says, stretching in his seat.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAjgH5zQAy
"I'm glad you enjoyed. It's very difficult to find people who enjoy similar interests to me."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu0E7KIx7f
"Now what? Do you just read books and whatnot?" Catherine asked, taking the last sip of her drink.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoAu8VxOAX
"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.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoVpJE8Vhg
"Then why not join us? From what we've experienced, we certainly need the help." Arsenio asks, leaned back in his chair.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YVR7Mnt3D
"I was never suited for things like that, unfortunately..." Chrono sighs. "My Gift is also a little...hard to control."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N1AK5ROB8
"...Can we see it?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVoZbg3Ymh
Chrono begins to rub his arms as guilt and embarrassment threw itself on his face.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5COqWSDjXh
"You can say no, you know..." Catherine speaks. "No one's forcing you."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE2ivuHrKF
"It's...complicated."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8Q1QXNiab
"That's u-understandable...I have a Gift I can't quite c-control myself..."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeE4IoPoUn
Dawlly immediately pops itself out of Isabelle's pocket with an annoyed look.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1J8DhAhY6E
"I-It's true..." she looks at Dawlly with the same annoyed look.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPSzi2y8nS
"Interesting.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rq3eYo6tk
"Is there anything else you like to do other than read and fantasize?" Catherine asks.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2eZCyINK1
"I like to learn more about my Gift."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z0iHRAmBF
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.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAWHmE3rgV
"O-oh my.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPDNQvIn5l
"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.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP3dGfceOC
"So, what's your Gift? I'm sure you four have gotten one.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8innP2Y0dL
Catherine nudges Nathaniel. "You show yours first. You're the supposed leader."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujqJY6PFlK
"I have never said that I was a leader..."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueTQRg0zFv
"W-Well..." Isabelle added. "You d-do know the most out of all of us..."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlrYi9yDwm
"...Fine.." Nathaniel reluctantly agrees.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDFCNGlq1f
First, his arm, then up to his shoulder, until his entire body was covered in armor.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxdxQqtVjA
"You never told me you could do that.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhS7YCFWqp
"I feel as if there is... no need to use the full Gift. It is...uncomfortable.." He speaks from within the suit.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAwex3iVFk
"Well, get the hell out of it then..."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh8Yavkva7
He removes himself from the armor, reverting back to his velvet clothes.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6AGDensKi
"Well, since thou wants to assume roles, maybe thou would like to go next, co-leader?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5UYCg6O3F
"Of course you pin this crap on me.." Catherine growled. "But sure, why not?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtUA1z9ans
She slips through her chair, and all the way through the floor.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14pX3oSjXJ
It was like she was in her own dimension, her escape from reality. She swam around as she heard the others from above.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0vFxmyXv6
That's when she heard a voice calling her name from the distance.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3lqaR7XA0
"Hello?" The voice creepily whispered.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP82T8oVHS1
"The hell?" She exclaimed. That freaked her out enough to pull herself out of the Phasing dimension.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yT0M7oxGp
She gasped, as if she was underwater when she crawled out.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlDkEfhXlS
"You alright? You've been in the floor for quite a while..." Arsenio mentioned.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Vk6IftHfa
"...Yeah, something just... freaked me out.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA5Et0IEUj
She slides back in her seat...
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIXFz0DQ0D
"I-I'll go next..." Isabelle announces. Within seconds, the threads began pulling themselves out of her sleeves.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNlVBaEuje
"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.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dcvg4ZkdJ
"I just had to wake up today! Is it wrong to get some sleep around here?!"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRuSlF782N
Dawlly smiles innocently as Isabelle continues to roar.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet8caUPjK5
"Don't worry, I've got this.." Arsenio stands up. "Trust me, my charm is irresistible."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1LUW6nw1d
He grabs her wrists, looks her deep into her eyes..
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVOFXQ2qaq
"Ah, great..." Catherine grumbled, rolling her eyes.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYjlf4pSU2
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that you look adorable when you're angry?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPdhPedqvJ
Isabelle, easily flustered and caught off guard, immediately snaps back to her timid self.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKIbJEaHaX
"See?" He points out. "It's like a secret perk I have." He starts throwing up two pieces of jewelry.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLMuzvVNeY
Isabelle immediately feels her ears.
"M-my earrings!"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtanMKzVrE
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."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0EJR8aE76
Isabelle just kept turning red as she puts back on her earrings.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuJZ61zXuX
"So, you yourself do not have a Gift just yet, Arsenio?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY9aiahDzW
"I haven't really felt anything, so no...I think."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoerLH3iQAv
Outside, bells begin to ring. Chrono looks up at the clock sitting across the room from him on the wall.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI59IHRf98N
"Ah...only an hour left..."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M9luqJzFJ
"Is there anything else thou wants to say to us before thou becomes Father Time?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5uZXu1tFl
"Use your Gift well, and I hope we get to see each other more in the future."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiByBN0dtfj
Chrono smiles genuinely.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZVTdRoOKu
"So, what now?" Arsenio says, picking his teeth.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aZplBYeDH
"Well, if you four are attending the ceremony, you'll have to be properly dressed."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgXz26wXxZ
"Well, Verna could've told us that earlier.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TwZxiQ4Aw
"Don't worry, we have a public closet full of gowns and suits for you to wear."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2fJVj79iz
Chrono stands up, leads them upstairs and pulls open a closet door.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E4ChdkatQ
There were attire in every color of the rainbow.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXizawqePdi
"Hey, now this is nice!" Catherine says, walking into the spacious closet.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylaOf0xQdM
"Don't be afraid to pick whatever you want!" Chrono says, leaving.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPXJjurtAR
Trying to decide what attire to wear, the Prodigies pick the most extravagant and dazzling outfit that fit them the most.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1j3nlSNnz1
The four take turns putting on their new clothes, which gleamed and twinkled in the light. Once the four return to the closet.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKfpyFrSmY
"Looking nice girls.." Arsenio says.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE86JRTwUAV
"These shoes are gonna kill me later, but yeah, thanks.."
Catherine complained.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx5DXZEH3s
"Now that that portion has been completed.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EkgoMICEx
Nathaniel grabs Arsenio by the shoulder.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE8FXzIDb0
"Arsenio. Thou shall come with me."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGocHfZxPKC
He drags him away.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoy5DQxaPR
"Hey uh, Nathaniel, what are you trying to do?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUm32mSi5N
"We must fix this hair of thine.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbeLlDlyIM
"Wait...Nate no, my hair is fine-"
Nathaniel pulls Arsenio outside.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5axqvZB9vs
"Well, it w-wouldn't be too wrong to d-do the same, would it?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInRK1Hv1Wm
"No, we can take turns doing each other's hair. That seems hella fun!"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBapYLliyT
"O-okay!"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa0xknAKQV
Isabelle finds some combs, brushes, and hair accessories.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIEvIkpvrY
"N-now, what kind of hairstyle would you want?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TWmMuQDHP
"Something simple, I guess. Not trying to impress anyone.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOcHBzeIgP
Isabelle gets to unbraiding Catherine's hair, carefully and gracefully taking it apart. In the middle of brushing however, Isabelle stops.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwPxC8wyqr
"Uhm...Catherine?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYQufS3U19
"Yeah?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuAWrlF5xW
"There's a m-mark or something...on your neck.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPq675wzBT
"Huh? What does it look like?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbxQcPAFCp
"It l-looks like something scratched you... you didn't g-get attacked b-by anything, did you?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDu881e7r3W
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.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj24dAuj9e
"D-Do you have any allergies?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoZ5D4UHzF
"I'm not supposed to."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYVIucuR2f
"...Oh my.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVROvJjxVO
"I'm not too worried about it... it'll clear up soon..."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgEgceyjSH
"...If you say so.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtF14IUrqNf
Isabelle continues to brush and straighten Catherine's hair. Before she knew it, Isabelle was already putting a flower pin neatly upon her head.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AZX9j6N6X
Isabelle puts a mirror in front of her face. "T-Tada!"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0eiilT1Oj
"Oh damn. That's actually really good."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyplEp8TmKh
"T-thank you.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhMGFI7lSl
They switch positions, with Catherine sitting behind Isabelle to do her hair.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxpICL6xAb
"Is there anything specific you want to get?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5nJYbZiT1
"U-Uhm.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58b81vEftj
"Oh wait, I actually learned how to do this one hairstyle, French roll or something like that?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVdPZ8fn58
"Okay, that one t-then.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFUQFYIRnl
"Alright."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6dQ8SWtLs
Catherine gathers all of Isabelle's hair, pulling it together, wrapping it around itself, until it looks like the hairstyle.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvFkVCEC9O
"Crap, I don't have any hair pins.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkjG2BK08t
"D-don't worry, I have a backup.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1aJHwcNtM
With her Gift, Isabelle sews the updo together until it fits securely, then places her own pin into her head.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwD8jWKgp8
"...That works too.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctfJhMQdyh
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.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepYDvRkrvE
"I still don't get why you did this, it was fine as it is.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNx762TFW3
"Trust me, thou would rather look like this."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZriaG3qaP
"I see the boys didn't have a good time picking out hairstyles." Catherine taunted.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq6fxEEd7i
"T-They do seem to be in a debate.." Isabelle added.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBrTqxGaQL
"It's gonna take forever to put my hair back now.." Arsenio protested.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ7Jg4O8ae
"Let's not w-worry about that... we're supposed t-to have fun.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5woLrJ4o0o
"Yeah, I guess that's true..."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIjP2kqrQg
There was thirty more minutes left. Still plenty of time to waste. Chrono comes back to check on them.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRXA9FZevU
"Ah, looking exquisite Prodigies!" Chrono praises them. "I'm sure you'll be the best looking ones out there!"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLC79GiOzo
"Eh, I doubt it, but I feel a lot prettier in this poofy thing.." Catherine flutters the ends of her dress.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GAiSdjpus
"Ah, don't be so modest, you look great!"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64CPNTOUf5
"Well, we still have lots of time. What should we do until then?" Arsenio asks.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSmqT0VuZn
"Why wait?" Chrono asks. "I can manipulate time at will. I'll just skip time a few minutes.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzenFVbNgPf
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.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OFlrk1xNT
"...That was...strange."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCvYcGyJTT
"Let's go. The ceremony's about to start."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhODiUq3mON
Catherine pushes Chrono out of the door. "We're right behind you, don't worry."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF12tw9IwT
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.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpsPKbi0bs
The crowd begins to applaud as Verna appears behind Chrono. She clears her throat.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5txylRKUn
"Welcome everyone, to Chrono's coronation. It's been a while since we've had one of these, huh?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTigVr4ngm
The crowd erupted into light laughter.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWePhaq6x2O
"Anyways," she continued. "let's get to the best part."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx2ZEcT0tF
She turns Chrono around, hold his hands gently.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKslLfl70L
"Do you solemnly swear, as long as you live, that you will fairly rule over the Time Realm?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoBczPc6CG
Chrono silently nods.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmt3BpZkTl
Verna releases his hands, opens her own, and in them, appears an extravagant crown which seemed to glow in the light.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPE6vhOZqJz
"Well then," she places it upon his head. "..you are now Father Time."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8e0J2LOSn
Everyone explodes into cheers. The Prodigies couldn't help but clap along.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d8KxcvtYW
"Now, let us commence. Grab a partner, for the party is about to begin!"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4prBBDisdL
Groups begin to pull apart into parties of two, music begins to fade in.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPYkVt36Tg
Catherine feels fluttery from the tension.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FCaiERV6f
"...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.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmIoc14npp
"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."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1kmZkIYlD
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.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pm6Z51vzz
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.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnuPEGWG6E
"Does thou plan to do this at every party?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkrgcYDA40
Catherine finds the source of the tension. She knew Nathaniel was standing behind her the entire time. Without looking back, she responds.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlta2lFK4Cf
"I don't have anything else to do. Why'd you follow me anyway?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XKiGeddM9
"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.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNxvQYowRU
"Nate, you dumbass..."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm0eQmJpg0
"Hm?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtWfmMvscI
"You have jam and crap all over your face.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKhXpXItjT
She pulls a napkin, and is just about to hand it to him, when a voice yells in pain, quieting the party to silence.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tV8kX3FqU
"...What's going on?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnqr91tl7A
"I am not sure."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2HfLPhd0v
"...Boost me."

"What?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNgQ70CAgj
Catherine struggles to climb up Nathaniel. Once she reaches his shoulders, her eyes catch something unexpected.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGVWmritD9
"It's...Chrono.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyAz85vnNE
The two push participants out of the way.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU572PVWtr
"I was worried about his hands and..." a girl whispered towards them.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWazVOhdDBy
"Don't worry, we've got this."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9xjFJV5Wc
It seems like his Gift was finally coming into play.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaLIQZE7AX
"Chrono...are you alright?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNRyxaFf1Q
Chrono grabs the edge of Catherine's dress to pull himself up.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKCToy6PpV
"I'm fine, really! My Gift just... activated all on it's own.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbpIImt0vu
As he stands up, everyone could see his Gift's true form. His face was plated halfway with gold, just as his arms were.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7OCjAPv6S
"But seriously, I'm fine!"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckNP9NAp2l
More of his face became jagged.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMWlQ22Ik8
"... Let's go. Nate, you get Arsenio and Isabelle."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTqV9iOGWA
Catherine pulled Chrono away from the party, taking him back the House of Father Time.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuf7fpCj10
"Okay, Chrono...what happened?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv44wMsUE4J
"I-I think the stress...plus the demonstration from this morning..."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjvjAkYniU
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.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZGZPeS71P
"C-Chrono? Are you okay?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvqh0CAUT7
"I-I am f-fine, Prodigies...this is just what happens...It's a little painful, though..."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZtmvotQDw
More barbs rip around his body, horns even start to curve from his head.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOb6kRDCbu9
"O-Oh goodness.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbztMhxmo3o
"I just have to...fight it. I can't hurt anyone if..."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqa5a5huDTu
His breathing gets heavier than stones.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb9Kn7Jxio
"Is there anyone we can get for help?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaRryvm3fO
"You don't need to bring anyone. Just...leave before it.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyILkrbt2zR
Without thinking, Chrono threw a glass from a table right beside him.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwhMtUCebm
"Okay okay! Let's calm down.." Arsenio says, recovering from dodging.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrmFltSn72
"I-I can't! It's going to..."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuDX90cyaP
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.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrkAs2A0Mq
Catherine simply used Phasing to break her fall, diving into the floor.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknzayogMWJ
The voice from before called again. "There she is again!"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNVzZoxip2
"...Who the hell are you? What do you want?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoT8a8Jk0D
She saw a stripe of bright cyan wave past her. Catherine tried desperately to find where the line went.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu46osA5VV0
"...Behind you.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnVqsESjj2
Catherine turned around to see the menacing face of a dragon staring back at her. She was about to take a breath to scream.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEYqCPoxpl
"Hey, don't scream. I just want to know how you got here."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z7We6eVL5
Catherine confusingly looks.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczN5Xm86IU
"This is my Gift...I can phase through crap like it's water. I broke my fall from a building.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrQb1M6J6y
"Oh, you must be the person I marked yesterday. Makes sense, I guess.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssazsGt6PN
"M-Marked?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe6j0QhZRU
"That itch you could never satisfy." It points towards Catherine's neck.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvmiB7cbxT
"...Wait, that was you?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJU5InZ9Zq8
The serpent playfully clears it's throat before bellowing menacingly.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLtFLewue8
"Allow me to become you, and I shall spare your life!"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uwOXI2dCe
"...Do I get other abilities other than falling through stuff?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE9GhxH2m2
The dragon shrugs. "I think so?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3cnNFDQBT
"Great. Come on then."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhMEUedqHh
It phases through Catherine, unlocking a surge of energy and power within her.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6QoSNFm3I
Catherine climbs out of the dimension as the others were looking for her.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaCk4AxAcV
"Sorry if I scared you guys.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGQZJYlZOT
"Catherine! Y-you're okay!"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzb1JGiLFf
"Yeah, I just got a new friend."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIYL3nvmR2
The dragon only appeared as a ghost coiled around her body.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAml58NGa0w
"And her name is?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI0OZM58BE
"Not sure.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNWC3S0nAL
Like a ghost, the dragon swapped her soul with Catherine's.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbPP7I728Q
"Piravit. My name is Piravit, the Spiritual Dragon of Phasing. I have chosen Catherine here as my host..."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinqPJu8bkn
"Thou is...possessing her.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWi2tE82vKd
"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."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KwCSzXaFG
"Cool. Now...about him.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1sowvrKZH
Arsenio points at the shattered window that Catherine fell out of.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocrz62FJWa
Chrono's roar echoed throughout the realm as he perched on the window.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTiXRJ9EY6
"Oi! You have some explaining to do!"
Catherine says as she takes back control of her body.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLW7FFr0aOR
"...Catherine, that's the Time Beast!"
Piravit says as a echoing voice inside her head.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5Yava7jHs
"Eh? That's Chrono, that's just his Gift."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGonk0J9MjC
"Like you, he's been marked. If he sees me with you, he'll kill us both!"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpChmpBDWo
As on cue, Chrono jumps down right in front of Catherine, as if analyzing her. Then with angry aura, throws her again.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oQ7HhkFkH
Catherine hits the ground, tumbling.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYqX4Bvel6
She struggles to pick herself up, as Chrono runs towards her.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqqXGVQf0b
"What the hell did you do for him to get pissed off?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJQXYYnttd
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.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoh5KICFIy
"You have gotta be kidding me!"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LPda99SUI
"But don't worry! I'm sure if we beat him, he'll come to his senses!"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSReuupv9P
Chrono pulls a punch towards them, only to be stopped by Isabelle's thread.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAr5erk2bh
"C-Chrono! You h-have to come t-to your senses!"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqsiCNDmT4
"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.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY2K061F0v
"I-I'm sorry...I can't k-keep him still..."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOi8t6cZnI
"It's alright! You've spared me some time!"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgvXhE3nsI
"Let me take over!" Piravit immediately pulls Catherine out, becoming the one in control.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CpFc6A5lA
As soon as Chrono began a barrage of punches, Piravit pulls away, but was able to only dodge a few before tanking them.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5nm9ipaWw
"He's way too fast! I can't get a hit on him!"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLN8YxDPTz
As Chrono kept punching her in the chest, Piravit, in Catherine's body, was thinking of ideas, pondering as hard as her breathing.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7puBNXvgR
Piravit begins to punch rapidly in response, until the two stop.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pYL8YzzG5
"I have to say..." Piravit states tauntingly. " You've given me quite the workout since I left my dimension-"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGjG1e6C3p
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.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqh8Wa7XYE
"So, p-playing dirty are we?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSMPQ9uqwp
Chrono responds with an angry, but silent, glare.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ddHYTIvaN
"Great, I like games without rules..."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD50jQ29ex
Piravit phases back into the floor. When they return to the Phasing Dimension, the two separate.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZ9vS6cNUN
"Okay, so new plan..."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AIkkBltWv
Catherine coughs as she feels the after effects of earlier.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy6o5ozrLn
"You better think of something and fast..."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Vr4oOb7mt
"There's one last thing we can do, but you have to follow a specific set of rules and-"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eIF9HVn2n
"Nevermind... I'll figure something out.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeyhsNrbeV
Catherine jumps from the dimension and behind Chrono, where she sneakily kicks him.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLDVr2dCYp
Piravit follows shortly behind her.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhPNottOY7
She kneels down towards Chrono.
"Well? Are you having fun yet? Not fun being attacked without noticing, huh?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoePa7Xa1w
Chrono swipes at Catherine's arm, barely cutting her.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MJ6LpRa3m
"...Nah. Didn't think so.." she says, standing up. "Didn't know you'd get this bad.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0zCaNKL82
She picks him up. "Come on. Let's finish this so you can go back to normal at least. I have things to do.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfmf7IZHIh
Catherine stands in a fighting position.
"I'll only use my power alone."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xYbH2nrPN
"Then allow me to join you." Arsenio says, standing beside her.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ076poYnFbV
"What are you gonna do, flirt him to death?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc6EGBx0bO
"I actually had something else in mind.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceuk3TSSHT
Arsenio was finally able to conjure a Gift, as an arm cannon faded to fit on top of his hand.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXPfdU3BRF
"I wanted to test this thing, you know?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3cJEW64rT
"...Whatever."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmOW1briVw
"Come forward..." Chrono says menacingly.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcLloJq9hp
"Whatever you say, your Majesty."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnSTrXrGn6
As the two-on-one began, more of the participants of the ceremony began to watch from a distance.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFWtgfeRYN
"Seems like we've made quite an audience.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYbPC9JFfk
"Let's make this the best coronation the Time Realm has ever seen.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgx4RNBrhU
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.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKC8EY1ucM
With a sharp yell, time itself began to slow.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV9ubj0Nfl
"Damnit! We're stuck until.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqw71VgARWc
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.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFry2IM6O9
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.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq92gJQGJ1A
"...I don't think we're gonna make it if he keeps stopping time like that.." She says, spitting up blood and standing up.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWwvc8Nd7R
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.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGyhl2N47z
Catherine jumps up.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ep8EmLqVx
"You're welcome!" Arsenio says from afar.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDwcRPRqp8
"Thanks! Keep looking for openings!"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aiCvaPJOm
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.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJQWN0BxbE
"A-alright...you've proven your worth.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP28iw6ucOg
"Is this Chrono we're speaking to?" Arsenio asks as his Gift charges up once again and picks Catherine up.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQspbrnEqY
"I-I'm not sure.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajb7t3jZMJ
"Make sure you're sure. I'd hate to hit you with this thing for no reason."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRcHd7ucoP
"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.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo7zPcRPyR
Chrono shakes his head. "N-nevermind! Let us continue with the celebration, yes?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1AkQiOPms
"To be honest, I'm worn out..."
Catherine huffed. "You're like...crazy strong."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Dy6pUkGlt
"I-I'll make it up to you, I swear!"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZoM4cCFLv
Piravit peeks from the floor. "Can I come out now?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKY2Jk5M9Q
"Depends.." Chrono says. "Are you willing to take your side of the deal?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKcft3CXRa
"Eep!" Piravit says, coiling itself around Catherine and hiding behind her. "A-Ah! My part of the deal...?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MLsJ5HA4Q
"You shall give me full entry to your dimension. That was your promise to me."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80si8j7ZC2
"...Fine. But you can't keep using Chrono as a vessel for your battles."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxKylAwPcO
Chrono stares for a second, before hitting the ground, parts of his golden shell chipping off.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aau3xcreF
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.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ748pc5IyGO
"He's suppressed his power...I think."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjOEKdm2Ii
"Wait, they have a gender?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuLRKOge12
"Yeah..." Piravit answered. "It is quite obvious that I'm female. No whiskers, see?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiCiYAjXyU
"I guess.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN5cKkyt6m
"Catherine! Arsenio!" Isabelle says, stumbling her own feet. "A-Are you two alright?"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jAIgb4hO4
"I'm good. Not sure about Catherine though."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPsLLFaMqC
"Nah, I'll be alright. I don't think he broke anything."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzkF1rL0de
Nathaniel also approaches them with another tart in hand.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWhhiKJIAh
"Nate! You just had one of those things!"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9CRYRxKRj
"I must try every single flavor." He says taking another giant bite.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmwfuwDL2b
"..M-Maybe we should g-go.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdckMOpugwD
"Are you sure? We can just...continue the party as normal.."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVoEuoV1jn
Arsenio shrugs. "Seems like a plan to me."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb5BRlWtxZ
Slowly, the music begins to play. Partners begin to group together. It was like the party was uninterrupted the entire time.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDejaSlpGhr
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.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZluq3UimP
After the party, the Prodigies carried Chrono back into the House of Father Time.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5SIazrn7U
"Thank you, you four. Hopefully I can get around with solving some of your Timebreaker problems sometime!"
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMf8vIJOxF
"We'd greatly appreciate it. We don't know how strong the next one'll be."
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAPA0WxpO0
Chrono waves them away as they go back to the Sanctuary. Ezra was already asleep when they returned, wrapped up in a blanket.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1AFHOGqxc
"Well, we should get some rest too."
Catherine announced.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbOV6Q6XYB
"Way ahead of you." Arsenio says, dropping into the bed.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImshTzkFdk
Everyone puts themselves to bed for the night, and the Prodigies fall asleep.
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47OYQiElWs
Silently, in the middle of the night, someone's Tempural Energy swarmed the room...
338Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnZjhQdNUX
