"Rise and shine, Prodigies!" Verna's peppy voice awoken the group. "Let's get ready for the coronation of Father Time today!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m7mW4VAsM
Catherine scratches her neck as she pushes the quilt off. "Coronation?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1bXvViFfz
"Apparently, a new Father Time is to be crowned today." Nathaniel states, stretching.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeTfYVqUCK
"Your mission today is to just watch over the new guy before the celebration begins. Pretty easy, right?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0wcg2FPpD
"Wait...our job today is to be a goddamn babysitter?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHMJBB5Pv2
"If that's how you view it, yes. But as a reward, you get to go to the after-party!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhBLVYBhif
"That at least solves dinner..." Ezra thinks aloud.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmTK647Vxl
"Breakfast will be served once you get there, so just put on your clothes and shoes and...look a little presentable.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkPYtF676I
"No prob.." Arsenio says. "Let me just get my morning tea before I go.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuFf8eRn4g
"T-Tea?" Isabelle asks while brushing her hair.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBl1W0V6V6
"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."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWb513UKuNM
"...Alright then..." Arsenio says, slowly sitting down and sliding his hands in his coat pockets. "I'll just wait until later then.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2FYvZZCYL
"Is everyone ready?" Verna asks, peeking into the room as she does so.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTe4TKgWUUT
"I think so.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeGNmmKbuI
"Good, good!" she fully opens the doors to let the Prodigies out. "Then, let's go, shall we?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONj2mzCyTL
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.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6XzecFGFZ
"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."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9VQuNMbSn
"...Is it because he's blonde?" Catherine remarked.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULKnBE3jpp
"... That might have had a influence on the nickname, yes."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJZOnDIFMh
They watched as walked stone faced across to the home of Father Time.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60nhJXDyDF
"Let's go." Verna says, instructing them to follow Chrono.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlrUzZXlHV
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.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho7LE5lpU2
"Hello?" Catherine waited for a response.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxchLv4iZH
"J-Just a minute!" A voice called out before crashing and falling is heard. Then, from the stairs emerged Chrono.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5q6Vq41rm
"Verna, very nice to see you again. And these four might be?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lAIiZaJ7o
"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."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaBVK0fo1E
"I see..."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeivAGgjSA
"Thanks again for doing this, guys."
Verna time warps away.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvi8AJjU6i
"...Which one of you is which? I just don't want to be confused.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ucYDcPGvg
They introduce themselves once again, giving him some clarity.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfBcU6kodG
"Ah, well it's nice to meet all of you."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3IyDq9kzd
"Verna t-told us that w-we would have s-some breakfast.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1JGYpJrDk
"Of course. You've come here quite early, so I'm sure you four are starving."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONyFEbHZHK
"Yeah..." Catherine agreed, lightly holding her stomach.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVMxDe4a0s
"I thought so. I've prepared something, so don't worry."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGK8ylkuQs
Chrono brandishes a golden door, which he promptly throws open and reveals some nice breakfast meals, already plated and ready to eat.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQuskMA2xE
"You m-made all of this yourself?!" Catherine exclaimed, impressed.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XaA8V7dod
"I was just planning on making food for myself, but I didn't want to be rude.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VFBSQTwik
"It does look rather...delectable..." Nathaniel says, clearing his throat.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BaYfYxLt3
"Well, shall we eat or watch it get cold?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1wMTHYxgA
The four Prodigies and the Son of Time all sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast, basically wolfing down the entire plate before them.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgILraiWRWj
"Man, that was good..." Arsenio says, stretching in his seat.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv2vcwv4aB
"I'm glad you enjoyed. It's very difficult to find people who enjoy similar interests to me."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVdsfVBnDq
"Now what? Do you just read books and whatnot?" Catherine asked, taking the last sip of her drink.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ104UZdIXVg
"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.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCORvPOHKm
"Then why not join us? From what we've experienced, we certainly need the help." Arsenio asks, leaned back in his chair.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kY2OTjh4I
"I was never suited for things like that, unfortunately..." Chrono sighs. "My Gift is also a little...hard to control."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8zuj9lJBH
"...Can we see it?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl3HEQAVLm
Chrono begins to rub his arms as guilt and embarrassment threw itself on his face.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXsluV68ov
"You can say no, you know..." Catherine speaks. "No one's forcing you."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKg9rkoypf
"It's...complicated."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWm9IMQcvs
"That's u-understandable...I have a Gift I can't quite c-control myself..."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68g7sutiNx
Dawlly immediately pops itself out of Isabelle's pocket with an annoyed look.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU51VdLzyS
"I-It's true..." she looks at Dawlly with the same annoyed look.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDYx8zaLr1
"Interesting.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaDO8cAJuz
"Is there anything else you like to do other than read and fantasize?" Catherine asks.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6F49S7lNz
"I like to learn more about my Gift."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPgm6uDyk2
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.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn09EDPkXgy
"O-oh my.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N0TOQ74sY
"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.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqia1Q4d4n
"So, what's your Gift? I'm sure you four have gotten one.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLzg7NumpK
Catherine nudges Nathaniel. "You show yours first. You're the supposed leader."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKHK7W9pmd
"I have never said that I was a leader..."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FvsfoCXDe
"W-Well..." Isabelle added. "You d-do know the most out of all of us..."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5u3o2zEKg
"...Fine.." Nathaniel reluctantly agrees.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehJNXGbla3
First, his arm, then up to his shoulder, until his entire body was covered in armor.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiOUcMbRiN
"You never told me you could do that.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj08GWiX6Ju
"I feel as if there is... no need to use the full Gift. It is...uncomfortable.." He speaks from within the suit.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3T3UvvAgN
"Well, get the hell out of it then..."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH41rdaUPw
He removes himself from the armor, reverting back to his velvet clothes.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwREo6WxPNI
"Well, since thou wants to assume roles, maybe thou would like to go next, co-leader?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvhx0u7hJJ
"Of course you pin this crap on me.." Catherine growled. "But sure, why not?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKQ6kfMKq6
She slips through her chair, and all the way through the floor.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JnSreIAVV
It was like she was in her own dimension, her escape from reality. She swam around as she heard the others from above.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4cPvF8vjy
That's when she heard a voice calling her name from the distance.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2fMRSuq3X
"Hello?" The voice creepily whispered.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIPr680XHz
"The hell?" She exclaimed. That freaked her out enough to pull herself out of the Phasing dimension.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUFmb8ZeMw
She gasped, as if she was underwater when she crawled out.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw4tZhVTAP
"You alright? You've been in the floor for quite a while..." Arsenio mentioned.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nS2d68URc
"...Yeah, something just... freaked me out.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAZm5RuHkp
She slides back in her seat...
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0ASbfxfXC
"I-I'll go next..." Isabelle announces. Within seconds, the threads began pulling themselves out of her sleeves.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYDsV3fC6e
"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.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh31hDQNne
"I just had to wake up today! Is it wrong to get some sleep around here?!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0UZ4z3OVD
Dawlly smiles innocently as Isabelle continues to roar.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlxFQhHN59
"Don't worry, I've got this.." Arsenio stands up. "Trust me, my charm is irresistible."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSozpm6VxC5
He grabs her wrists, looks her deep into her eyes..
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1mnsVpHwQ
"Ah, great..." Catherine grumbled, rolling her eyes.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11zeSVzX7i
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that you look adorable when you're angry?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QHG2sBKWE
Isabelle, easily flustered and caught off guard, immediately snaps back to her timid self.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvujf3Ouum
"See?" He points out. "It's like a secret perk I have." He starts throwing up two pieces of jewelry.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTIpyjvPC8
Isabelle immediately feels her ears.
"M-my earrings!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyibMDZo8p
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."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CMbiClwqm
Isabelle just kept turning red as she puts back on her earrings.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj13xQ2lhOK
"So, you yourself do not have a Gift just yet, Arsenio?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i9NNsknIm
"I haven't really felt anything, so no...I think."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidcRk7LujP
Outside, bells begin to ring. Chrono looks up at the clock sitting across the room from him on the wall.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuiy95G0wp
"Ah...only an hour left..."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhM4kVZcoGp
"Is there anything else thou wants to say to us before thou becomes Father Time?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLkUEhD4al
"Use your Gift well, and I hope we get to see each other more in the future."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfSLzTmbHs
Chrono smiles genuinely.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2lWbsDEIV
"So, what now?" Arsenio says, picking his teeth.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gwjz219lB
"Well, if you four are attending the ceremony, you'll have to be properly dressed."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZupq6OUob
"Well, Verna could've told us that earlier.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbCFWsDict
"Don't worry, we have a public closet full of gowns and suits for you to wear."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIEnvcXcXP
Chrono stands up, leads them upstairs and pulls open a closet door.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjG69qIyoI
There were attire in every color of the rainbow.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0o3aQG0uD
"Hey, now this is nice!" Catherine says, walking into the spacious closet.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXS44HcE6RW
"Don't be afraid to pick whatever you want!" Chrono says, leaving.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQceEebypYy
Trying to decide what attire to wear, the Prodigies pick the most extravagant and dazzling outfit that fit them the most.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtCXyzwNmo
The four take turns putting on their new clothes, which gleamed and twinkled in the light. Once the four return to the closet.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBnKVtQ1f7
"Looking nice girls.." Arsenio says.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi6jg54Ido
"These shoes are gonna kill me later, but yeah, thanks.."
Catherine complained.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv4C4vBP4D
"Now that that portion has been completed.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8T0EVc1Gk9
Nathaniel grabs Arsenio by the shoulder.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfZ5y2S7A2
"Arsenio. Thou shall come with me."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNEdlrIqrN
He drags him away.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnAEAUzSjd
"Hey uh, Nathaniel, what are you trying to do?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeav9NuQZ1
"We must fix this hair of thine.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwUYAhfjmQ
"Wait...Nate no, my hair is fine-"
Nathaniel pulls Arsenio outside.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWfuvIdeeL
"Well, it w-wouldn't be too wrong to d-do the same, would it?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdBYs57Svu
"No, we can take turns doing each other's hair. That seems hella fun!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguwCT0LK4Q
"O-okay!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9MmgDj6CB
Isabelle finds some combs, brushes, and hair accessories.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyHHxukCF8
"N-now, what kind of hairstyle would you want?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVJZ1SiyZe
"Something simple, I guess. Not trying to impress anyone.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgBpN25yPk
Isabelle gets to unbraiding Catherine's hair, carefully and gracefully taking it apart. In the middle of brushing however, Isabelle stops.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmnO6OafVH
"Uhm...Catherine?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGJXpanCSY
"Yeah?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6mg4rPQvB
"There's a m-mark or something...on your neck.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbO3R9OVcU
"Huh? What does it look like?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A5JHPtTOG
"It l-looks like something scratched you... you didn't g-get attacked b-by anything, did you?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWatX0dB3p
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.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPsuHhrXm6
"D-Do you have any allergies?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dtFOH72Ac
"I'm not supposed to."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mBGUtXF0Y
"...Oh my.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1zMTX9WDZ
"I'm not too worried about it... it'll clear up soon..."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGIFt5nGkN
"...If you say so.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNwZI1ys0j
Isabelle continues to brush and straighten Catherine's hair. Before she knew it, Isabelle was already putting a flower pin neatly upon her head.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8Ihamrvio
Isabelle puts a mirror in front of her face. "T-Tada!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGH3dMdHz3
"Oh damn. That's actually really good."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExKS74cl31
"T-thank you.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOlOPa9hkL
They switch positions, with Catherine sitting behind Isabelle to do her hair.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3W8rzodjt
"Is there anything specific you want to get?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr0zEzWho9
"U-Uhm.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3YCDk1LdO
"Oh wait, I actually learned how to do this one hairstyle, French roll or something like that?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgsERGwOww
"Okay, that one t-then.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HH6ycnnMP
"Alright."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApTATRIw04
Catherine gathers all of Isabelle's hair, pulling it together, wrapping it around itself, until it looks like the hairstyle.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dLP1Zwh8o
"Crap, I don't have any hair pins.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg8zbsYzVZ
"D-don't worry, I have a backup.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8aJX6G8HB
With her Gift, Isabelle sews the updo together until it fits securely, then places her own pin into her head.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69tuhCxut6
"...That works too.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f6YQ0KLeH
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.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLYgudXe9D
"I still don't get why you did this, it was fine as it is.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxLs8AIFIl
"Trust me, thou would rather look like this."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJYcNNPsve
"I see the boys didn't have a good time picking out hairstyles." Catherine taunted.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqem5lI9Fvh
"T-They do seem to be in a debate.." Isabelle added.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwS42XsPiis
"It's gonna take forever to put my hair back now.." Arsenio protested.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOYB6si6xB
"Let's not w-worry about that... we're supposed t-to have fun.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZspqnUiO3D
"Yeah, I guess that's true..."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonMSDXE8gt
There was thirty more minutes left. Still plenty of time to waste. Chrono comes back to check on them.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPtMkyZHo1
"Ah, looking exquisite Prodigies!" Chrono praises them. "I'm sure you'll be the best looking ones out there!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSXdxBqOVN
"Eh, I doubt it, but I feel a lot prettier in this poofy thing.." Catherine flutters the ends of her dress.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6Um4Iq9dz
"Ah, don't be so modest, you look great!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPPLVew8UB
"Well, we still have lots of time. What should we do until then?" Arsenio asks.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCU1q5Kzv4z
"Why wait?" Chrono asks. "I can manipulate time at will. I'll just skip time a few minutes.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhRVxKdJUT
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.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8okJvSUxt
"...That was...strange."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvWw3iJ6ah
"Let's go. The ceremony's about to start."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6u23nAzAU
Catherine pushes Chrono out of the door. "We're right behind you, don't worry."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj500R4taa
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.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjl0gbZLzS
The crowd begins to applaud as Verna appears behind Chrono. She clears her throat.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xgonjoLCv
"Welcome everyone, to Chrono's coronation. It's been a while since we've had one of these, huh?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WPvdkdiCs
The crowd erupted into light laughter.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlFScN1hpx
"Anyways," she continued. "let's get to the best part."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC6aVvT2ss
She turns Chrono around, hold his hands gently.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlcHB2ZhTs
"Do you solemnly swear, as long as you live, that you will fairly rule over the Time Realm?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhES0A0JOG
Chrono silently nods.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFb5h9aZhA3
Verna releases his hands, opens her own, and in them, appears an extravagant crown which seemed to glow in the light.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bi2Ve0JpD
"Well then," she places it upon his head. "..you are now Father Time."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1k9bsStn5
Everyone explodes into cheers. The Prodigies couldn't help but clap along.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcrZs5Lxio
"Now, let us commence. Grab a partner, for the party is about to begin!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qmqEIag8Z
Groups begin to pull apart into parties of two, music begins to fade in.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUzoYlLTw1
Catherine feels fluttery from the tension.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmQ2t3JzK4
"...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.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4GZmDEuui
"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."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIadAqOWoqT
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.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRijxVzZgwb
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.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3B0mYaSxU
"Does thou plan to do this at every party?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEgiNOMILK
Catherine finds the source of the tension. She knew Nathaniel was standing behind her the entire time. Without looking back, she responds.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrPOddv0DB
"I don't have anything else to do. Why'd you follow me anyway?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpI6QKrDIA
"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.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Iezpl0sDK
"Nate, you dumbass..."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlt4uXwMKG
"Hm?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAxHu7dOLQ
"You have jam and crap all over your face.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaI02KTBoB
She pulls a napkin, and is just about to hand it to him, when a voice yells in pain, quieting the party to silence.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAkWlMXteA
"...What's going on?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhABIQUtKA
"I am not sure."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1UMEb97GP
"...Boost me."

"What?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gobg9j5tK
Catherine struggles to climb up Nathaniel. Once she reaches his shoulders, her eyes catch something unexpected.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gZsIRHz7b
"It's...Chrono.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGtdlvU9Cn
The two push participants out of the way.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi1nYzmtqc
"I was worried about his hands and..." a girl whispered towards them.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DUbYHwv9H
"Don't worry, we've got this."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nmCP31bVR
It seems like his Gift was finally coming into play.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwl0353eGs
"Chrono...are you alright?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPJrszmQgN
Chrono grabs the edge of Catherine's dress to pull himself up.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49VWpVp0cx
"I'm fine, really! My Gift just... activated all on it's own.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRgKZW830H
As he stands up, everyone could see his Gift's true form. His face was plated halfway with gold, just as his arms were.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqLysh0qhP
"But seriously, I'm fine!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEEtAuM6qD
More of his face became jagged.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKfKbo90JO
"... Let's go. Nate, you get Arsenio and Isabelle."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQuDd2amrS
Catherine pulled Chrono away from the party, taking him back the House of Father Time.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5afcU7KcE
"Okay, Chrono...what happened?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKEdKZRYEu
"I-I think the stress...plus the demonstration from this morning..."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XIYINRmeY
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.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuzwM50uhN
"C-Chrono? Are you okay?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM4CR3Dbf4
"I-I am f-fine, Prodigies...this is just what happens...It's a little painful, though..."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OJ0ivzIRw
More barbs rip around his body, horns even start to curve from his head.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCT6Wj9Gn2
"O-Oh goodness.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBynv4uJ6Sj
"I just have to...fight it. I can't hurt anyone if..."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjXNlNj0Vj
His breathing gets heavier than stones.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvxYUg1rTB
"Is there anyone we can get for help?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyvtxHBUgG
"You don't need to bring anyone. Just...leave before it.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4NXLERISs
Without thinking, Chrono threw a glass from a table right beside him.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlI07S3pFHA
"Okay okay! Let's calm down.." Arsenio says, recovering from dodging.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH00U2XW7z
"I-I can't! It's going to..."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2VjtSwkje
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.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWj56oHrX6
Catherine simply used Phasing to break her fall, diving into the floor.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdJG13S06J
The voice from before called again. "There she is again!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1maafi416H
"...Who the hell are you? What do you want?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcnqhXYtm0
She saw a stripe of bright cyan wave past her. Catherine tried desperately to find where the line went.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUcwc8JiSw
"...Behind you.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmYB1VWyCM
Catherine turned around to see the menacing face of a dragon staring back at her. She was about to take a breath to scream.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LzrHwpSMB
"Hey, don't scream. I just want to know how you got here."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8huPZeEZ4I
Catherine confusingly looks.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMadVfgKhEF
"This is my Gift...I can phase through crap like it's water. I broke my fall from a building.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8dIk3V1Js
"Oh, you must be the person I marked yesterday. Makes sense, I guess.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFuOvxhrGw
"M-Marked?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5ci3N9Y1v
"That itch you could never satisfy." It points towards Catherine's neck.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnzUb2aLBR
"...Wait, that was you?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDCyCSqkPV
The serpent playfully clears it's throat before bellowing menacingly.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q1HsxlJKl
"Allow me to become you, and I shall spare your life!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Lubb1wagt
"...Do I get other abilities other than falling through stuff?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXTlDr9j6W
The dragon shrugs. "I think so?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9lKPeNOpL
"Great. Come on then."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnXK4ZYHWT
It phases through Catherine, unlocking a surge of energy and power within her.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJyXV8stwP
Catherine climbs out of the dimension as the others were looking for her.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNlQK3tQJH
"Sorry if I scared you guys.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2geR9ezYUp
"Catherine! Y-you're okay!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvN10bePzov
"Yeah, I just got a new friend."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHfOQCYZGd
The dragon only appeared as a ghost coiled around her body.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDp4bIUYcC
"And her name is?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4SoNJNBiV
"Not sure.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ous2vyDjA
Like a ghost, the dragon swapped her soul with Catherine's.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eOl4ec1KR
"Piravit. My name is Piravit, the Spiritual Dragon of Phasing. I have chosen Catherine here as my host..."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKLg8NNXau
"Thou is...possessing her.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD3YUMXmjU
"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."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU6WT4p9TS
"Cool. Now...about him.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucQLshK2zb
Arsenio points at the shattered window that Catherine fell out of.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWMMjPvqqn
Chrono's roar echoed throughout the realm as he perched on the window.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWL6gMp9Ev
"Oi! You have some explaining to do!"
Catherine says as she takes back control of her body.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnw1k57pn3
"...Catherine, that's the Time Beast!"
Piravit says as a echoing voice inside her head.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AGM3ubI29
"Eh? That's Chrono, that's just his Gift."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0NZRE8mEN
"Like you, he's been marked. If he sees me with you, he'll kill us both!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtRsyM58ck
As on cue, Chrono jumps down right in front of Catherine, as if analyzing her. Then with angry aura, throws her again.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhW5hE5sMF
Catherine hits the ground, tumbling.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GoWJUvdXS
She struggles to pick herself up, as Chrono runs towards her.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpW5pOrctc
"What the hell did you do for him to get pissed off?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKrS7JnOQw
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.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyijIePS35
"You have gotta be kidding me!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM894vexAv
"But don't worry! I'm sure if we beat him, he'll come to his senses!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IypYKr9vy
Chrono pulls a punch towards them, only to be stopped by Isabelle's thread.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EiYTwCTJq
"C-Chrono! You h-have to come t-to your senses!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA9SxZNuW4
"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.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoiKje4IdY
"I-I'm sorry...I can't k-keep him still..."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9UC5vv2s0
"It's alright! You've spared me some time!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOVEEeda7a
"Let me take over!" Piravit immediately pulls Catherine out, becoming the one in control.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIq4HHv8Vv
As soon as Chrono began a barrage of punches, Piravit pulls away, but was able to only dodge a few before tanking them.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODc2cneV9h
"He's way too fast! I can't get a hit on him!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMGm3SiMtf
As Chrono kept punching her in the chest, Piravit, in Catherine's body, was thinking of ideas, pondering as hard as her breathing.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3fRvLAMAX
Piravit begins to punch rapidly in response, until the two stop.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z5DJQw02G
"I have to say..." Piravit states tauntingly. " You've given me quite the workout since I left my dimension-"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtffxfFbZK8
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.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIVAoEc2Yj
"So, p-playing dirty are we?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY5XXVKMvu
Chrono responds with an angry, but silent, glare.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaQbMKJTD2
"Great, I like games without rules..."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokyhmeqf8K
Piravit phases back into the floor. When they return to the Phasing Dimension, the two separate.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5n9W2uex9
"Okay, so new plan..."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvXt8BaM1G
Catherine coughs as she feels the after effects of earlier.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTaKL0rBha
"You better think of something and fast..."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWhF9bjp2b
"There's one last thing we can do, but you have to follow a specific set of rules and-"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjgpnxC2cR
"Nevermind... I'll figure something out.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2VREHCsRS
Catherine jumps from the dimension and behind Chrono, where she sneakily kicks him.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQnPddVGLp
Piravit follows shortly behind her.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UgyO5fmx3
She kneels down towards Chrono.
"Well? Are you having fun yet? Not fun being attacked without noticing, huh?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wjCrXqngY
Chrono swipes at Catherine's arm, barely cutting her.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM302T561o
"...Nah. Didn't think so.." she says, standing up. "Didn't know you'd get this bad.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMONIdlt54
She picks him up. "Come on. Let's finish this so you can go back to normal at least. I have things to do.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDw4X2Ug8B9
Catherine stands in a fighting position.
"I'll only use my power alone."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0hEXYMRed
"Then allow me to join you." Arsenio says, standing beside her.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbG87c1dA7
"What are you gonna do, flirt him to death?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcvAeOiZsc
"I actually had something else in mind.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBxo0iEoPQ
Arsenio was finally able to conjure a Gift, as an arm cannon faded to fit on top of his hand.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V8hQgsPhj
"I wanted to test this thing, you know?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CzixwRwpc
"...Whatever."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0KzSByTnu
"Come forward..." Chrono says menacingly.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31u9Glm89n
"Whatever you say, your Majesty."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IZlW1u3zs
As the two-on-one began, more of the participants of the ceremony began to watch from a distance.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0QvrE0b9N
"Seems like we've made quite an audience.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCSjwZwEcC
"Let's make this the best coronation the Time Realm has ever seen.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXbb599BMH
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.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalwhfFXfG1
With a sharp yell, time itself began to slow.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh6WuDMFVp
"Damnit! We're stuck until.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWaVsr4bIF
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.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZh2tdKD1h
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.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZNhMVaLAF
"...I don't think we're gonna make it if he keeps stopping time like that.." She says, spitting up blood and standing up.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNxAgd5RXC
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.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriAywrAC6W
Catherine jumps up.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJIkDV6yRQ
"You're welcome!" Arsenio says from afar.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4cdtQTlk6
"Thanks! Keep looking for openings!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8CJWvjVxF
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.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVm3xyrQll
"A-alright...you've proven your worth.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk95h45ap8
"Is this Chrono we're speaking to?" Arsenio asks as his Gift charges up once again and picks Catherine up.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhZiVTDvmM
"I-I'm not sure.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYA08Gn1nMT
"Make sure you're sure. I'd hate to hit you with this thing for no reason."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgYDPfdF25
"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.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQ6RRbk4RK
Chrono shakes his head. "N-nevermind! Let us continue with the celebration, yes?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCp4UCXCfp
"To be honest, I'm worn out..."
Catherine huffed. "You're like...crazy strong."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zERGQE4wN
"I-I'll make it up to you, I swear!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gK2QTkeVy
Piravit peeks from the floor. "Can I come out now?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X3Zq71hvQ
"Depends.." Chrono says. "Are you willing to take your side of the deal?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOmoqZRQj9
"Eep!" Piravit says, coiling itself around Catherine and hiding behind her. "A-Ah! My part of the deal...?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0WMfBDhHb
"You shall give me full entry to your dimension. That was your promise to me."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtS6gKwv5c
"...Fine. But you can't keep using Chrono as a vessel for your battles."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0Ej1rijqX
Chrono stares for a second, before hitting the ground, parts of his golden shell chipping off.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zoAZqG9WJ
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.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV2lDlr49Y
"He's suppressed his power...I think."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI3Hu4oXKq
"Wait, they have a gender?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg1RgqT6bu
"Yeah..." Piravit answered. "It is quite obvious that I'm female. No whiskers, see?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhi5yy0Xwb
"I guess.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8iaCOW00t
"Catherine! Arsenio!" Isabelle says, stumbling her own feet. "A-Are you two alright?"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vccHDj0N1
"I'm good. Not sure about Catherine though."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeFk47PKSn
"Nah, I'll be alright. I don't think he broke anything."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio2mOStbqZ
Nathaniel also approaches them with another tart in hand.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kltVlgGFS
"Nate! You just had one of those things!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJNLybKpw3
"I must try every single flavor." He says taking another giant bite.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91W276sWTO
"..M-Maybe we should g-go.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCwJTmoBwP
"Are you sure? We can just...continue the party as normal.."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmc6jZd6xd
Arsenio shrugs. "Seems like a plan to me."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUkPaDh9uo
Slowly, the music begins to play. Partners begin to group together. It was like the party was uninterrupted the entire time.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe3EWh3M9V
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.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSpGaaqmF0
After the party, the Prodigies carried Chrono back into the House of Father Time.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEpsEpfbXY
"Thank you, you four. Hopefully I can get around with solving some of your Timebreaker problems sometime!"
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDUqY5oUcV
"We'd greatly appreciate it. We don't know how strong the next one'll be."
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem2B4I1UaH
Chrono waves them away as they go back to the Sanctuary. Ezra was already asleep when they returned, wrapped up in a blanket.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5AXEcMR6u
"Well, we should get some rest too."
Catherine announced.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRghcL2s4T
"Way ahead of you." Arsenio says, dropping into the bed.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdq3E1oxHOy
Everyone puts themselves to bed for the night, and the Prodigies fall asleep.
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv3X77XZOF
Silently, in the middle of the night, someone's Tempural Energy swarmed the room...
359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKdOB9T0aL
