While we began circling one another, Mom set up a barrier to keep the others safe from the after effects of the attacks.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG99rTHtVe
Ecluna, with her Ecliptic energy, makes herself a weapon, before dashing towards me.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8io0S90Wty
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zHD7AwhOy
I glance towards Arelin, Jake and the others. I felt a warm feeling when I saw the turned become more normal.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU44WVW3jj5
Ecluna suddenly throws herself onto me, landing blow after blow right into my stomach.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2mcfGg2Av
I feel the pain burn within my entire body as her attacks grow stronger.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ682Aj4v82o
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLu9k5pxjN
"Iris, don't tell me you're holding back to make sure your friends are okay..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoH7ZmUhPl
Despite her large decrease in power, Ecluna's grip around my throat was tight.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc137c0DEp
"What's the matter? Have you already given up on fighting back?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y08HY2kIS
"T-That's e-enough.. Ecluna.." Arelin says through clenched teeth.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8uw8GZECv
"Hmm? Did you say something Arelin?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmtt5h987S
She floats closer towards him.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P02c0wrvd
"D-don't...hurt her.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLqAwiWQHa
"...Jeez, I'll need to be quick if I wanna keep you."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbMPLPkPY1
Then, she turns back to me.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6RDejNHzi
"Hopefully I can kill you before he changes back.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbre8dfmZ08
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qKZIwUEz8
The last sliver of the Eclipse had to be charged up in it's final form.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvfl33aXnS
"Consider this a final message. If I can't kill you..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEw5wxPEVEJ
She immediately points the attack towards the others.
"Then I'll just kill them, and kill you from the inside!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshtIBXYB8K
The attack fired, the maroon beam of Eclipsian magic tearing straight into the area where they were.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZTW5fQTuR
Ecluna didn't change her expression, her eyes never moved off of the area until the dust clouds cleared.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOUGs4kuD2
...A familiar, ancient aura became apparent.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5kj19AJFP
When I looked behind me, I noticed someone was standing next to Mom while she held a pendant in the air.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz5IzOcpvz
"...Iset. It has been too long..." she says under her breath.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7WUyf2snI
"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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxwpIkv4In
They were safe, luckily, the barrier that shielded them had barely a scratch.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjokOb3xsB
"Do not fret, Iris. She is weakened enough to where she can be subdued."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIdLgXDhie
"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.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeg8qozLKi
A scythe appears in her hand, as she brandishes it towards the bright red sky.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37PTkBb3nU
Slowly, I can feel my own form become more distant. Had my power begun to run out too?
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5xdcdSxQH
I put up my own weapon, but suddenly I dropped it, and shook my head.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUdC4ROhKT
"Again...your funeral.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNlGft4ntk
Ecluna dashes straight for my chest, but once again, someone saves me.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bDbdIJZez
"...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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvRMShDwqK
However, that sense of tranquility was short lived, as suddenly Ciaran was shot out of the air with a sudden beam of energy.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRQeLUj0Xv
"Of course you try to take my kill away from me, Ciaran!"
Ecluna says angrily.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbXfLpEEml
"I cherish her enough to put myself in danger."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1bbZqB9yo
"...Okay then, one last deal..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUCTb3dXNG
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJO0nsLYW9
"I-Iris...you have to stay awake."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZB4TxONJH
I open my eyes again. "Why?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRhpbjVKNh
He stops to think for a moment.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEZqRadEzL
"I'm n-not sure why but... just stay awake... it's b-better if you stay awake.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4rdpnAUMQ
I nod. "Alright... I'll try.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7idL4KEMVC
I listen to the conversation between Ciaran and Ecluna.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTYMDv3jnM
"Well, what is this deal of yours?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuoArDL1B6
"Easy. Iris' safety in return of you."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5uZFzqqr1
"You want to kill me in return for Iris' life? I am usually not very greedy, but I have a lot to live for.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb065SyEeis
"No no, I meant..." Ecluna pulls another transforming orb. "I get to keep you."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1579wpKfuS
"...That is something...interesting.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjzS3uOAXY
"So, deal or no deal?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFwiFtBEMw
Ciaran steps forward and removes his cape.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W1oXPfCJF
"I will accept. Only if Arelin and Jake are released from your grasp.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRFehHaqui
"Less fun, but a deal's a deal.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OuwxnFums
Ecluna calls on the powers of the eclipse, as Arelin and Jake dropped to the ground, but their appearance had changed back to normal.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzvhJcnuJX
The two orbs used to transform them was brought into one, and Ecluna held it as it flared brilliantly.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLQiQ05FLK
"This is where I will say farewell for now."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV8aqWqwvi
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..
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOfy8U6FME
Ciaran stood up, examining himself.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZHhH7IRpt
"Isn't that a little better?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiQhAuKP5H
"It is...exhilarating."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuHex3u0uJ
"Good good. How about we give that power a little test run, shall we?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXkwoW0zQH
"With pleasure..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLJor5dKjd
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...
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaoZvhv0xc
He starts to laugh. His laughing becomes so hysterical, I almost couldn't help but laugh with him. But... what was so funny?
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjwOaM1Lzh
"Ecluna, Ecluna, Ecluna...you poor soul. It seems you have misunderstood..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknRUCYYsB1
He lets me go, turning back into his original form.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ7S8VMxvs
"I have no bloodline. I made out of the essence of darkness itself. I cannot be Eclipsian by any means.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxr8r2jrxHx
"...Well, I guess that's it then..."
She shrugs. "I have no more power to throw at you.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWF157RvyW
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwq5PefpE9
"W-what happened?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBv7p7pKqO
"...Take a look for yourself." Jake says, dusting himself off.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljypqIuO9D
Ecluna looks around. "D-did I do this?! What did I-..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTS5ZEiUJv6
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJerVtGhY3
I stumbled towards her.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyp0MfqE914
"Iris, stop! D-don't hurt yourself more!"
She cried.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4Kl3h5tFs
"I have to make sure you're okay too.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1wU2x0mdX
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine-..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlxZ3i3JRy
More blood spills from her mouth. "I'm okay, just...stay where you are.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3KnDnKfPf
"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."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBwbElTlYg
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm07Pn59N8
***
I see everyone else staring back at me. I was back at home, snuggled under my quilt on my bed.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LfKXKr4Qt
"Hello everyone..." I croak.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYKDjMINRG
Everyone lets out a sigh of relief.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP1mLHtHQQ
"Thank goodness you're alright." My mom says.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2DkEOW6cV
"...How long has it been?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oph6pfx5D
Jake gives my head a pat.
"A good four days. Ms. Ikura patched you up pretty good though..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2C4MqhQBa
I jump up, only to be met with discomfort and dizziness. I had to stumble back into a sitting position.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TG124Phgv
"...Is Ecluna okay?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX1jwutXnO
"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..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1hm7ETbsH
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.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldvzxqtznF
"And you better rest too.." Aluise added.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBmJXQjvKu
I nod. "Okay.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu4PbK8csp
I begin to shuffle back into bed, resting my head against the frame.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4EkwVojuQ
"You're heading back to bed?" Jake says, sitting back in a chair.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJX3W3SBUo
I nod my head again.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QGQpIA6b7
"You're not even gonna eat first?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvflSiGiFJC
"I am...a little hungry..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxvJg6QceW
"I think Arelin is making something..said he was waiting for you to wake up."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoLH7Vg9ll
"Could you call him here for a minute then?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW42Yr6DlrJ
"... Alright." he gets back up from the chair with a slight limp and leaves. In a few seconds, Arelin was in the doorframe.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWqW6W3nX9
"...I'm sorry if I distracted you.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JiEOIqP3x
"It's fine. It's just about done right now."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm8zYDoiO8
"Ah, alright then.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdbZ45MSgJ
"...Ciaran was asleep behind you earlier, but I'm not sure where he could've went.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEOyjCdaQx
I pull back the quilt again, where Ciaran was sleeping comfortably underneath.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4c6fPIaFUe
"I found him.." I say, pulling him towards me.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRj6si38rQ
Ciaran wakes up when I do this, but promptly shuffles even closer.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9jl5xEmD6
"This is the calmest I've ever seen him..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxPd3DuK8L
"...I'll be right back. You must be hungry..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaDLF2JSYq
"I'm starving! Bring back something really good okay?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnRtKlNZkn
A smirk appears on his face.
"Alright.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc7tx7dN90
As soon as he leaves, Ciaran wakes up.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4deX5gWh1T
"You are...awake..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTlsH5AU1E
"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I just needed to rest a bit.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeH3QINAjq
Arelin comes back with a steaming plate.
"It's not much, but it should be enough with some bread.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZUWIhxQzL
He places the plate in front of me, before sitting on the bed beside me. I slowly pick up the fork and start eating.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHPINWGTlg
Afterwards, the sleepiness started to come back. I yawned as my body starts to slide underneath the quilt more and more.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgchT5iWAzo
"You're going back to sleep?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqywVf20An
"Mhm...I want to be up bright and early tomorrow."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVHfLJq22V
Arelin gets up, taking the empty dish from my almost unresponsive hands.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqG6dGT8cL
"I will...check on you in the morning then.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOn764eXtz
He turns off the lights and shuts the door. I slowly closed my eyes, and I drifted off to sleep.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyx827U59E
The next morning, I felt refreshed. Getting up from bed, I stretch and walk to my mirror.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlC9JEtCsG
A sudden weight almost pulled me off my feet. As I struggled to stand up, I look at the mirror to see...
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwICalP32ut
"Good morning, Araginee..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8vlG3QYbz
"Ciaran!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b98N8UkSg
Ciaran held onto my shoulders and tried his best to hold on to my back while I tried to remove him.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76GkcibOSB
"Get off of me! You're too heavy!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefRilC1zzu
"You seem to be holding me just fine.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCpZ4VSIyo
I sighed heavily. "I don't want to carry you around!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0GGzIe9w7
We have a wrestle for a bit. Eventually, I gave into his ways and let him stay there.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Z1OhWA6ny
"How was your sleep?" he asked.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5GikV4cGz
I stumble to the hallway. "It was fine. You were taking up all the bed space though.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTb4xyu9iTk
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2paUpXdnx
"Good morning, Iris." Mom greeted, before giving Ciaran an untrusting, mean glare. "And Ciaran..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtLZY7Nc7I
Ciaran responds. "Good morning to you too.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbocoPeSd98
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpm8EknCcEH
"Did you have a nightmare, Uncle Damien?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xQgFrHNlE
Walking over to him, I give him a grin. "If you keep thinking about stressful stuff, you'll never get any sleep.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDiWKvbCT0
He responds by tiredly turning around while mumbling and returning to sleep.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlqYQcFN0M
"That grumpy older brother of mine won't even smile a little for his only niece.."
Mom smirked and shook her head.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyaArcU5Fd
"Arelin! Iris!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo386IVPe2I
Someone comes running into my arms, but quickly, from the long, almost midnight colored hair, I immediately knew who it was.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoy18CxsrV
"Hey, Alena!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyKED8YxqM
"I came as soon as I heard. Are you feeling alright?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZqbiZaqo1
I assure her that I was feeling fine. "Yep! I'm doing really well!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoKpgh0gdP
"Good!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcdtZD5qmX
Alena then turns her attention to Ciaran, who I was still carrying.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRpDvg86TI
"Huh? Why is he here?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOE7TQbFPi
"He decided it was a good idea to ride around with me today..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSFGVGhtEQ
Ciaran only snickered mischievously.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SKe1pCfaS
"I sadly haven't been able to remove him yet.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl3tY2je0b
Alena playfully flicks his nose.
"I think he's cute. He's like a little baby."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPPashND36
"You compare me to a child?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3YYYqxQQi
"Admit it, you can't go anywhere without Iris."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjb2eGIWox
A weight was lifted from my back as Ciaran jumps off to lend Alena a stare.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRFKJiiopI
"A-Ah! He's quick to anger!"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyJd3gR1hX
"Do not belittle me, Alena."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNHtVDjojh
"Hehe, belittle." She punned. Arelin laughs as well.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Y5ILAfsH0
"Why you..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTzEPAV852
Before Ciaran could get a hold of her neck, I pull him back. "Alright Ciaran, no need to get all snippy."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0PAF3ugKC
He slips back behind me.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrGXhxLZQm
"That...girl..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRduwXRdosj
"Don't worry, she's just messing with you."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kQxuKhqHb
"...Her presence now pesters me to no end.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC53db7YLe
I sigh. "You're a lot of work, you know that?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6TtSzKZdi
He rests his chin on my shoulder.
"Am I?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCtxnQXRw8
"...No, not really. Not anymore."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHpfnykcim
"Perfect. Then I will never leave your side."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVabXQ3aaKB
I immediately regretted the words I said earlier, as I realized he wasn't going to let me go.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWQsegdYrk
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XtTLYSfn6
I took him to bed, and about to head there myself, when someone knocked on my room window.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuoCOcuSUn
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.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufZdCYT0V4
"Hey Iris..."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hQROPpwqH
Ecluna was still wrapped up in the old bandages.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8EAph83Yl
"Ecluna?! We've been looking for you! Where have you been?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjk1E9kXhV
"I was only doing what I promised.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH24Al04Ot7
I lead her to the edge of the bed to sit, and rests her head on my shoulder.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0RMnLQtlx
"I didn't want you to leave. I just wanted my friend back. That's why I pushed as hard as I did."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0ZdIQMCIR
"...I understand how destructive I can be under influence of the Eclipse."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ076Fc1JikI
"As do I with my new Darken forms.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhkeZLUS1S
She sadly chuckled. "...If only I had your mental strength.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalWu8d1XlB
"...It's getting late. Do you still want to leave?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t2u6Zag6B
Ecluna was weighing her options. After a confusing thought, finally, she came to a conclusion.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bZyzRptkh
"...I'll have to think about it."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1Cnw42TKp
"Then you can stay here for the night." I threw her a pillow and pointed towards the closet."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUosU2advbc
"There's blankets and extra pillows in there. Help yourself to them."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPd5IwspYyF
"Thanks again for...forgiving me.."
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0QJormh3y
"Of course. That's what I'm supposed to do, isn't it?"
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHLHRd25WC
She slowly pulls a blanket from the closet, making a makeshift bed. I then turned off my bedside lamp and shuffled into bed.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMHNmVYkMy
I wonder what the morning will bring.
341Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIDlibDgSg
