While we began circling one another, Mom set up a barrier to keep the others safe from the after effects of the attacks.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwqDYW6GlM
Ecluna, with her Ecliptic energy, makes herself a weapon, before dashing towards me.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv09DfZIF4
With my spear, I managed to block the first attack, before dodging another. Ecluna continues to giggle as she continues to attack. Finally, I landed a stunning blow on Ecluna. I could feel the Eclipse grow weaker.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkf5XxA0FV
I glance towards Arelin, Jake and the others. I felt a warm feeling when I saw the turned become more normal.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeXleqzGDJ
Ecluna suddenly throws herself onto me, landing blow after blow right into my stomach.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YCUaIEpGb
I feel the pain burn within my entire body as her attacks grow stronger.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIo3rNGu6Q
Pushing her away, I return with my own barrage of attacks. I painfully get up with steady legs, but I just couldn't help but to make sure the others were okay.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhOTdxzSwr
"Iris, don't tell me you're holding back to make sure your friends are okay..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZaPaKGhuW
Despite her large decrease in power, Ecluna's grip around my throat was tight.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZcBc2TwNo
"What's the matter? Have you already given up on fighting back?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT31mZRzRMF
"T-That's e-enough.. Ecluna.." Arelin says through clenched teeth.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNntJiCF58l
"Hmm? Did you say something Arelin?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOTXquTxVP
She floats closer towards him.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT54ESZ1d4
"D-don't...hurt her.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO5eJ5F8eK
"...Jeez, I'll need to be quick if I wanna keep you."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYoklGboFv
Then, she turns back to me.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62mByYPMOR
"Hopefully I can kill you before he changes back.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzb36zIDcf
She charges up another magic to attack me with, but I didn't move, because I was trying to help Arelin snap out of it.
Arelin was switching back and forth through forms, as if..this nightmare was finally coming to an end.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7jfyshbj3
The last sliver of the Eclipse had to be charged up in it's final form.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWQYkoiM6E
"Consider this a final message. If I can't kill you..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg2jYJ4F31
She immediately points the attack towards the others.
"Then I'll just kill them, and kill you from the inside!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiwP8VMMS3
The attack fired, the maroon beam of Eclipsian magic tearing straight into the area where they were.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhb7YolmSkf
Ecluna didn't change her expression, her eyes never moved off of the area until the dust clouds cleared.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqIh9SzMRY
...A familiar, ancient aura became apparent.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaiQaE3Gf8
When I looked behind me, I noticed someone was standing next to Mom while she held a pendant in the air.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TXO6k2zaZ
"...Iset. It has been too long..." she says under her breath.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PI7XEQdMZ
"Now is not the time for salutations. You have summoned me to aid you in battle..."
The woman returns, hovering only slightly off of the ground.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPb8nBhyD6e
They were safe, luckily, the barrier that shielded them had barely a scratch.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhwyaMyzCF
"Do not fret, Iris. She is weakened enough to where she can be subdued."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP4PQGxJpr
"Subdue me? When she's barely touched me?"
Ecluna taunts again. "If you want her to die so bad, I'll always make it quick.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5hyfD1Eum
A scythe appears in her hand, as she brandishes it towards the bright red sky.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88VkcuNiWw
Slowly, I can feel my own form become more distant. Had my power begun to run out too?
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjx7OaXbbqF
I put up my own weapon, but suddenly I dropped it, and shook my head.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2AUMEvjFR
"Again...your funeral.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoQ6Zrbzgw
Ecluna dashes straight for my chest, but once again, someone saves me.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QhbvUoXay
"...Rest now. You've done your task, Araginee."
Ciaran calmly says, cradling me. I let my true Darken form disappear. A great weight had been lifted from my chest as I grew tired.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oerCUREsK
However, that sense of tranquility was short lived, as suddenly Ciaran was shot out of the air with a sudden beam of energy.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4dIN6gkIH
"Of course you try to take my kill away from me, Ciaran!"
Ecluna says angrily.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8HebCdis3
"I cherish her enough to put myself in danger."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1xmsI2klS
"...Okay then, one last deal..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLi1P0VhVGO
Ciaran preciously plants another kiss upon my head and handing me to a confused Arelin, and by this point, I had already started to close my eyes.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLUFfSf38A
"I-Iris...you have to stay awake."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevNxyi50L0
I open my eyes again. "Why?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjmvTXujcA
He stops to think for a moment.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdGmI08kQC
"I'm n-not sure why but... just stay awake... it's b-better if you stay awake.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMh7Uf8I0E
I nod. "Alright... I'll try.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgRxJoqILb
I listen to the conversation between Ciaran and Ecluna.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqXWPvCzbg
"Well, what is this deal of yours?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFH6GYDoYLz
"Easy. Iris' safety in return of you."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT25FwIAowe
"You want to kill me in return for Iris' life? I am usually not very greedy, but I have a lot to live for.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX47CnWVLZ
"No no, I meant..." Ecluna pulls another transforming orb. "I get to keep you."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI7X47m1da
"...That is something...interesting.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5Y09goW0p
"So, deal or no deal?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0dYXTxZyN
Ciaran steps forward and removes his cape.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeBveZIT6M
"I will accept. Only if Arelin and Jake are released from your grasp.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XhjJtavo4
"Less fun, but a deal's a deal.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBwLcR04lh
Ecluna calls on the powers of the eclipse, as Arelin and Jake dropped to the ground, but their appearance had changed back to normal.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuy15ta10q
The two orbs used to transform them was brought into one, and Ecluna held it as it flared brilliantly.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul8rXzRyUi
"This is where I will say farewell for now."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0gSJdv6Zj
Ecluna pushes the orb into his chest. I almost felt like puking as Ciaran's eyes began to blur. The transformation began to happen again..
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDgyMZY1dy
Ciaran stood up, examining himself.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZxM7PfFfA
"Isn't that a little better?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvE81L9J4Lm
"It is...exhilarating."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupYygUb0dN
"Good good. How about we give that power a little test run, shall we?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEc0pRKqHd
"With pleasure..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Xhv5KeGF1
Ciaran direction went straight to me. With no more of my energy readily available, I let him pull me from the ground with both of my wrists in his hands. He leans closer to my face and then...
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgUuOUxwRl
He starts to laugh. His laughing becomes so hysterical, I almost couldn't help but laugh with him. But... what was so funny?
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwLcqeTYZA
"Ecluna, Ecluna, Ecluna...you poor soul. It seems you have misunderstood..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGizSONoQv9
He lets me go, turning back into his original form.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnLOFWo9GW
"I have no bloodline. I made out of the essence of darkness itself. I cannot be Eclipsian by any means.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozfIr4N5d5
"...Well, I guess that's it then..."
She shrugs. "I have no more power to throw at you.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZDsUdNFIQ
The eclipse disappears from the sky, leaving dawn in it's place. Ecluna returns back to normal, with the small change of red tips at the ends of Ecluna's hair. Ecluna blinks, as if everything that has happened... disappeared from her mind without a trace.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdwIJ2uPGY
"W-what happened?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ559RA2Ae30
"...Take a look for yourself." Jake says, dusting himself off.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaRVzLontZ
Ecluna looks around. "D-did I do this?! What did I-..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHi7UigjJx
The injuries she has sustained during the battle came as she started to cough up large amounts of blood. I was so worried about her, I had forgotten about my own blood running down my face.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTRoLVHg20
I stumbled towards her.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzgSMN0pul
"Iris, stop! D-don't hurt yourself more!"
She cried.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFC0c9WZ06
"I have to make sure you're okay too.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO6zSWStpH
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine-..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7Fpz5P2Hc
More blood spills from her mouth. "I'm okay, just...stay where you are.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSvKiTaAUL
"We have to get both of you to a hospital."
Arelin states. "The severity of your injuries could be fatal if they aren't treated."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpXJuyTesD
Arelin scoops Ecluna from the ground, while Ciaran does the same for me. That was the last thing I remember before finally giving into my tiredness.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCrbRafXVi
***
I see everyone else staring back at me. I was back at home, snuggled under my quilt on my bed.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGTgBqezIl
"Hello everyone..." I croak.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1JiGPZP1s
Everyone lets out a sigh of relief.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xx18yuLLQ
"Thank goodness you're alright." My mom says.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ygwA94vEC
"...How long has it been?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfEzFoaceJ
Jake gives my head a pat.
"A good four days. Ms. Ikura patched you up pretty good though..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJTz0nBxNJ
I jump up, only to be met with discomfort and dizziness. I had to stumble back into a sitting position.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZLmqwaYXB
"...Is Ecluna okay?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnumxNhhV71
"She's disappeared, we have no idea where she could've gone..." Soluna says somberly.
"She was asleep at one point, and then the next...she wasn't there..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHmLGSKAdd
Mom rubs her shoulder, comforting her.
"We've sent your father and uncle to find her, Iris. The best thing you can do is rest.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFWbD3i11h
"And you better rest too.." Aluise added.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXVbB2Z5mM
I nod. "Okay.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsg8o22hrn
I begin to shuffle back into bed, resting my head against the frame.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujUgClwZQo
"You're heading back to bed?" Jake says, sitting back in a chair.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpEqzS9GBW
I nod my head again.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi4BJAL624
"You're not even gonna eat first?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYJX5g7ZyU
"I am...a little hungry..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7SLaeIe9b
"I think Arelin is making something..said he was waiting for you to wake up."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP19vaxk3xf
"Could you call him here for a minute then?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIQ1xWGVRC
"... Alright." he gets back up from the chair with a slight limp and leaves. In a few seconds, Arelin was in the doorframe.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9Okpocjn0
"...I'm sorry if I distracted you.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPRizh9gqa
"It's fine. It's just about done right now."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ELwSMyIuP
"Ah, alright then.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN4HPeNv30
"...Ciaran was asleep behind you earlier, but I'm not sure where he could've went.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXklSaGf5OE
I pull back the quilt again, where Ciaran was sleeping comfortably underneath.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaw0eQH66I
"I found him.." I say, pulling him towards me.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCziWxjLBJn
Ciaran wakes up when I do this, but promptly shuffles even closer.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHql6VZCEJU
"This is the calmest I've ever seen him..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34zsk5WUE3
"...I'll be right back. You must be hungry..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAc5BBaadOd
"I'm starving! Bring back something really good okay?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQe4k6OJou
A smirk appears on his face.
"Alright.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49jw1aGt8l
As soon as he leaves, Ciaran wakes up.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1Uv5cZAX4
"You are...awake..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3M0ozdeD9Y
"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I just needed to rest a bit.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRdnho1r3u
Arelin comes back with a steaming plate.
"It's not much, but it should be enough with some bread.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn6G5hQiAu
He places the plate in front of me, before sitting on the bed beside me. I slowly pick up the fork and start eating.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg6Ti3QT1f
Afterwards, the sleepiness started to come back. I yawned as my body starts to slide underneath the quilt more and more.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYBJh01GHw
"You're going back to sleep?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEk5kmXUru
"Mhm...I want to be up bright and early tomorrow."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tQMV9F3UM
Arelin gets up, taking the empty dish from my almost unresponsive hands.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7QrqzbD0K
"I will...check on you in the morning then.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC0DLJnujH
He turns off the lights and shuts the door. I slowly closed my eyes, and I drifted off to sleep.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulAsRLoFO3
The next morning, I felt refreshed. Getting up from bed, I stretch and walk to my mirror.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViDiWWezXv
A sudden weight almost pulled me off my feet. As I struggled to stand up, I look at the mirror to see...
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKeX43GDn9
"Good morning, Araginee..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwn5In79e4
"Ciaran!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjyfhUoV5G
Ciaran held onto my shoulders and tried his best to hold on to my back while I tried to remove him.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0U9nvAYjM
"Get off of me! You're too heavy!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0WO98gjvD
"You seem to be holding me just fine.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLucYLjRUX4
I sighed heavily. "I don't want to carry you around!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTkT6yR2HH
We have a wrestle for a bit. Eventually, I gave into his ways and let him stay there.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzgZASH2VP
"How was your sleep?" he asked.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDY5oGi5Cc
I stumble to the hallway. "It was fine. You were taking up all the bed space though.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN05Guw35Tp
I go into the kitchen, where Uncle Damien was asleep on the couch, and Mom and Dad sitting and drinking a cup of coffee together while Arelin made breakfast.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgmnBpCqUc
"Good morning, Iris." Mom greeted, before giving Ciaran an untrusting, mean glare. "And Ciaran..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjv2cBuPnL
Ciaran responds. "Good morning to you too.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJADdEkigE
Uncle Damien woke up in an attacking stance. I couldn't help but snicker a little at his expression, but I also had to feel a little sympathetic.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxFGlAcdRx
"Did you have a nightmare, Uncle Damien?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNv7O1DtFS
Walking over to him, I give him a grin. "If you keep thinking about stressful stuff, you'll never get any sleep.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPOI4bm6kn
He responds by tiredly turning around while mumbling and returning to sleep.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL4kbPtOrW
"That grumpy older brother of mine won't even smile a little for his only niece.."
Mom smirked and shook her head.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7JV8SSQnD
"Arelin! Iris!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiancr2LU4o
Someone comes running into my arms, but quickly, from the long, almost midnight colored hair, I immediately knew who it was.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ4vUNdOzb
"Hey, Alena!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKmCWp0kfx
"I came as soon as I heard. Are you feeling alright?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPBpSVvRkg
I assure her that I was feeling fine. "Yep! I'm doing really well!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXKcWR5Q1U
"Good!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB14waKVspD
Alena then turns her attention to Ciaran, who I was still carrying.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyoLfXPqgG
"Huh? Why is he here?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbUWoxlEGd
"He decided it was a good idea to ride around with me today..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTq20RRn8U
Ciaran only snickered mischievously.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYG6anScY5
"I sadly haven't been able to remove him yet.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkOG8ZipJk
Alena playfully flicks his nose.
"I think he's cute. He's like a little baby."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLD4rX9Vjw1
"You compare me to a child?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf88wXmalom
"Admit it, you can't go anywhere without Iris."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSj3UNx4xT
A weight was lifted from my back as Ciaran jumps off to lend Alena a stare.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf0CMVlPk7
"A-Ah! He's quick to anger!"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VhXFfsZlQ
"Do not belittle me, Alena."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CaVa3ppph
"Hehe, belittle." She punned. Arelin laughs as well.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaG3RZWYii
"Why you..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsic1T2zw9
Before Ciaran could get a hold of her neck, I pull him back. "Alright Ciaran, no need to get all snippy."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmnZCp6cjL
He slips back behind me.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYUiZffyf0
"That...girl..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzodpEXxsp6
"Don't worry, she's just messing with you."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t3mYvuPzP
"...Her presence now pesters me to no end.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvThsPp1AvG
I sigh. "You're a lot of work, you know that?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUM2IPKlGf
He rests his chin on my shoulder.
"Am I?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwPGDUy50B
"...No, not really. Not anymore."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTMdPijw61
"Perfect. Then I will never leave your side."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO07DltbbBs
I immediately regretted the words I said earlier, as I realized he wasn't going to let me go.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl6aGEmHSb
I had to walk around with Ciaran all day, having small talk every other hour or so. Once the sky became a deep blue, I had found a comforting aura within the Darken as he slept.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgROUlu85SO
I took him to bed, and about to head there myself, when someone knocked on my room window.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpKA0nGrkB
I quickly cover Ciaran up with the quilt and walk to the window. I slowly unlock and open it, where a piece of the night jumped into my room.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFEvrwytTl
"Hey Iris..."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoVYc0tMBZ
Ecluna was still wrapped up in the old bandages.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1Qw63MXcI
"Ecluna?! We've been looking for you! Where have you been?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2V84yEWPh
"I was only doing what I promised.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfOEK9KmkN
I lead her to the edge of the bed to sit, and rests her head on my shoulder.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ePSLBQjHI
"I didn't want you to leave. I just wanted my friend back. That's why I pushed as hard as I did."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaPrRzg826
"...I understand how destructive I can be under influence of the Eclipse."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXrOJ2PO5E
"As do I with my new Darken forms.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBKJniOYne
She sadly chuckled. "...If only I had your mental strength.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXxUpc9XiU
"...It's getting late. Do you still want to leave?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7GWOWfFPs
Ecluna was weighing her options. After a confusing thought, finally, she came to a conclusion.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1g2dLOgnM
"...I'll have to think about it."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81A6e3Ohjz
"Then you can stay here for the night." I threw her a pillow and pointed towards the closet."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP32hAXz38O
"There's blankets and extra pillows in there. Help yourself to them."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6kiohMDkE
"Thanks again for...forgiving me.."
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWElKo98v1X
"Of course. That's what I'm supposed to do, isn't it?"
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQsSdr5b4s
She slowly pulls a blanket from the closet, making a makeshift bed. I then turned off my bedside lamp and shuffled into bed.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHqmafyRl1
I wonder what the morning will bring.
438Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKwIACHCCI
