While we began circling one another, Mom set up a barrier to keep the others safe from the after effects of the attacks.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlAlF3APRU
Ecluna, with her Ecliptic energy, makes herself a weapon, before dashing towards me.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZchdgk3qKS
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2IWQgjdtz
I glance towards Arelin, Jake and the others. I felt a warm feeling when I saw the turned become more normal.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSqrHqINDW
Ecluna suddenly throws herself onto me, landing blow after blow right into my stomach.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4O8yQrRdGZ
I feel the pain burn within my entire body as her attacks grow stronger.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKD3zRr7kV
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYchyvGVK7
"Iris, don't tell me you're holding back to make sure your friends are okay..."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg71XaQCyI
Despite her large decrease in power, Ecluna's grip around my throat was tight.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPZNqf7Zi7
"What's the matter? Have you already given up on fighting back?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUUUWAHgrP
"T-That's e-enough.. Ecluna.." Arelin says through clenched teeth.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0ua6Cw0h6
"Hmm? Did you say something Arelin?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe44zA6vSbV
She floats closer towards him.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAypzW5Jy3
"D-don't...hurt her.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gwfJSdXo9
"...Jeez, I'll need to be quick if I wanna keep you."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoXYwtM44y
Then, she turns back to me.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYAsuLEyZw
"Hopefully I can kill you before he changes back.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNWHyYnJzO
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4VrKjgtq2
The last sliver of the Eclipse had to be charged up in it's final form.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzRYGX6N6y
"Consider this a final message. If I can't kill you..."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1XyHg8pkL
She immediately points the attack towards the others.
"Then I'll just kill them, and kill you from the inside!"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBweCVF1sn
The attack fired, the maroon beam of Eclipsian magic tearing straight into the area where they were.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcMuWRoocH
Ecluna didn't change her expression, her eyes never moved off of the area until the dust clouds cleared.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaG4AkumHN
...A familiar, ancient aura became apparent.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1l3Y7wspn
When I looked behind me, I noticed someone was standing next to Mom while she held a pendant in the air.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4siEx4gug
"...Iset. It has been too long..." she says under her breath.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeWtTZG0W7
"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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVl8PDvIR8
They were safe, luckily, the barrier that shielded them had barely a scratch.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFxUarSkee
"Do not fret, Iris. She is weakened enough to where she can be subdued."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmUrE2Jvoz
"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.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus1bgjL2xE
A scythe appears in her hand, as she brandishes it towards the bright red sky.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasvKMyynhS
Slowly, I can feel my own form become more distant. Had my power begun to run out too?
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGz8O51wjm5
I put up my own weapon, but suddenly I dropped it, and shook my head.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2sSi5XFVJ
"Again...your funeral.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6y6Brkrm3
Ecluna dashes straight for my chest, but once again, someone saves me.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tE9Sl7wU5
"...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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOlfuBTgHs
However, that sense of tranquility was short lived, as suddenly Ciaran was shot out of the air with a sudden beam of energy.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoOX6QrjgQ
"Of course you try to take my kill away from me, Ciaran!"
Ecluna says angrily.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaUGAchQX9
"I cherish her enough to put myself in danger."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMKxAhZhhB
"...Okay then, one last deal..."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ62dPRQUij
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKaFoQ66Kw
"I-Iris...you have to stay awake."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBXuEbO0CL
I open my eyes again. "Why?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEND3CabT8c
He stops to think for a moment.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EjUQSPOli
"I'm n-not sure why but... just stay awake... it's b-better if you stay awake.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXbMLTxC4P
I nod. "Alright... I'll try.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ8Dm7OifD
I listen to the conversation between Ciaran and Ecluna.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfsVSBBC4C
"Well, what is this deal of yours?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOvbHuSRq5
"Easy. Iris' safety in return of you."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62fRgootSk
"You want to kill me in return for Iris' life? I am usually not very greedy, but I have a lot to live for.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUE2VxVvTw
"No no, I meant..." Ecluna pulls another transforming orb. "I get to keep you."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELt06ZDm2s
"...That is something...interesting.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7HWXMOJ938
"So, deal or no deal?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqykSO8JMI
Ciaran steps forward and removes his cape.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLM5vT2JMU
"I will accept. Only if Arelin and Jake are released from your grasp.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87et3mqLBC
"Less fun, but a deal's a deal.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm25n79UB3
Ecluna calls on the powers of the eclipse, as Arelin and Jake dropped to the ground, but their appearance had changed back to normal.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZIP0qI1xz
The two orbs used to transform them was brought into one, and Ecluna held it as it flared brilliantly.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGs03tlxdu
"This is where I will say farewell for now."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr337I5J6tM
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..
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaZR3nevsG
Ciaran stood up, examining himself.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGizegTZx5
"Isn't that a little better?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36JGxpTlzi
"It is...exhilarating."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonKKOp2JZt
"Good good. How about we give that power a little test run, shall we?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr96wVCy5vd
"With pleasure..."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0HbHwiP2d
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...
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHVs80CbqD
He starts to laugh. His laughing becomes so hysterical, I almost couldn't help but laugh with him. But... what was so funny?
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcwYnbV9Kc
"Ecluna, Ecluna, Ecluna...you poor soul. It seems you have misunderstood..."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkWDumo57q
He lets me go, turning back into his original form.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpUw2veoDR
"I have no bloodline. I made out of the essence of darkness itself. I cannot be Eclipsian by any means.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmxirUFrPQ
"...Well, I guess that's it then..."
She shrugs. "I have no more power to throw at you.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf7XLlkILT
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3ulqNZ87v
"W-what happened?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZbZ3mVJmn
"...Take a look for yourself." Jake says, dusting himself off.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlb57e2IRg
Ecluna looks around. "D-did I do this?! What did I-..."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BBje7Gf6D
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQTyYsg8Fx
I stumbled towards her.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFJujJWvtC
"Iris, stop! D-don't hurt yourself more!"
She cried.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZZ3fLFzjH
"I have to make sure you're okay too.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D00ZNavXl
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine-..."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrex4vi6coL
More blood spills from her mouth. "I'm okay, just...stay where you are.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEGzGScXGb
"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."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI2RdbK7RK
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudeeC7K2Of
***
I see everyone else staring back at me. I was back at home, snuggled under my quilt on my bed.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdmx3lrA3L
"Hello everyone..." I croak.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsbrXheTIU
Everyone lets out a sigh of relief.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdXKD4Cd27
"Thank goodness you're alright." My mom says.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6NO2EXKNl
"...How long has it been?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdvThM1XLa
Jake gives my head a pat.
"A good four days. Ms. Ikura patched you up pretty good though..."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4C59YtbShS
I jump up, only to be met with discomfort and dizziness. I had to stumble back into a sitting position.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTozzWSVKt
"...Is Ecluna okay?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVWgynxmEU
"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..."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qDsuPzf1R
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.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbGZd5j2Dm
"And you better rest too.." Aluise added.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzrIp6CyJ0
I nod. "Okay.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTyyCCd4Io
I begin to shuffle back into bed, resting my head against the frame.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eWGyvEcqD
"You're heading back to bed?" Jake says, sitting back in a chair.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21dvTQuD7A
I nod my head again.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4uvSdfiqE
"You're not even gonna eat first?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpnPIx3zpp
"I am...a little hungry..."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV8TcI4xGF
"I think Arelin is making something..said he was waiting for you to wake up."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxy8jGTbfJ
"Could you call him here for a minute then?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qOEBlB4pc
"... Alright." he gets back up from the chair with a slight limp and leaves. In a few seconds, Arelin was in the doorframe.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwQoB4YQ8g
"...I'm sorry if I distracted you.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3TIUgrX85
"It's fine. It's just about done right now."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKerFmUbaO
"Ah, alright then.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72ZkW5xSim
"...Ciaran was asleep behind you earlier, but I'm not sure where he could've went.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYLhvOdxA1
I pull back the quilt again, where Ciaran was sleeping comfortably underneath.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUHRU9LjWi
"I found him.." I say, pulling him towards me.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGryWpdrVBb
Ciaran wakes up when I do this, but promptly shuffles even closer.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspBQtIqqpw
"This is the calmest I've ever seen him..."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YTQbKX5iH
"...I'll be right back. You must be hungry..."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgM750g65a
"I'm starving! Bring back something really good okay?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q1RS0C2uf
A smirk appears on his face.
"Alright.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4LreDPyhK
As soon as he leaves, Ciaran wakes up.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lx2ukcqKB
"You are...awake..."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK510R68vD
"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I just needed to rest a bit.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxSJwgH7df
Arelin comes back with a steaming plate.
"It's not much, but it should be enough with some bread.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCplNMBUho
He places the plate in front of me, before sitting on the bed beside me. I slowly pick up the fork and start eating.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVmNGX7f3s
Afterwards, the sleepiness started to come back. I yawned as my body starts to slide underneath the quilt more and more.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK9VqRc9Rs
"You're going back to sleep?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr33zeM47l
"Mhm...I want to be up bright and early tomorrow."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykwCZTb8x1
Arelin gets up, taking the empty dish from my almost unresponsive hands.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPrmBrlKNL
"I will...check on you in the morning then.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlZikp7Oam
He turns off the lights and shuts the door. I slowly closed my eyes, and I drifted off to sleep.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycoO0FbJn1
The next morning, I felt refreshed. Getting up from bed, I stretch and walk to my mirror.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsJUmTJ0Gt
A sudden weight almost pulled me off my feet. As I struggled to stand up, I look at the mirror to see...
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeMr46vull
"Good morning, Araginee..."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHCYqV2vX6
"Ciaran!"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcloeZ36rsx
Ciaran held onto my shoulders and tried his best to hold on to my back while I tried to remove him.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bUHclJClH
"Get off of me! You're too heavy!"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrTCbAOqPh
"You seem to be holding me just fine.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPYvKuZy0Y
I sighed heavily. "I don't want to carry you around!"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifdwpQoDTJ
We have a wrestle for a bit. Eventually, I gave into his ways and let him stay there.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gqzLgJ5Uq
"How was your sleep?" he asked.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gk7viquJO
I stumble to the hallway. "It was fine. You were taking up all the bed space though.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOUaEj50wy
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgz25FsDAs
"Good morning, Iris." Mom greeted, before giving Ciaran an untrusting, mean glare. "And Ciaran..."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHISSp8GBXT
Ciaran responds. "Good morning to you too.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1rg6BSnoV
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr1Q3IGLEa
"Did you have a nightmare, Uncle Damien?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk9fZBs4Xv
Walking over to him, I give him a grin. "If you keep thinking about stressful stuff, you'll never get any sleep.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAK5ZXIckK
He responds by tiredly turning around while mumbling and returning to sleep.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKmn2zbJQo
"That grumpy older brother of mine won't even smile a little for his only niece.."
Mom smirked and shook her head.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0hqVV9Mxq
"Arelin! Iris!"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ40W2JH6rR
Someone comes running into my arms, but quickly, from the long, almost midnight colored hair, I immediately knew who it was.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0xKGF9vpX
"Hey, Alena!"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3lhWr9YQy
"I came as soon as I heard. Are you feeling alright?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobIDBZk0T2
I assure her that I was feeling fine. "Yep! I'm doing really well!"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtKkLSSIf5
"Good!"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DiQxIHFYd
Alena then turns her attention to Ciaran, who I was still carrying.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6aPOVnDYR
"Huh? Why is he here?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3HAITlzQQ
"He decided it was a good idea to ride around with me today..."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoRBgQEeHf
Ciaran only snickered mischievously.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvZisyw8Dw
"I sadly haven't been able to remove him yet.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOzRBx4Zia
Alena playfully flicks his nose.
"I think he's cute. He's like a little baby."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1plJBtAod
"You compare me to a child?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcUU9tiqez
"Admit it, you can't go anywhere without Iris."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7aWrXjIXZ
A weight was lifted from my back as Ciaran jumps off to lend Alena a stare.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTFzYIgtt5
"A-Ah! He's quick to anger!"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg3OQfYgrG
"Do not belittle me, Alena."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hbwuKv7t6
"Hehe, belittle." She punned. Arelin laughs as well.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9ACda9R6v
"Why you..."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM5xuvEPqq
Before Ciaran could get a hold of her neck, I pull him back. "Alright Ciaran, no need to get all snippy."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMv5Esojkx
He slips back behind me.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CCzToR3i3
"That...girl..."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2i8zctubyx
"Don't worry, she's just messing with you."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVhvkuhVr0
"...Her presence now pesters me to no end.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD0SZDquJX
I sigh. "You're a lot of work, you know that?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiH6UrqIGFS
He rests his chin on my shoulder.
"Am I?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzquTxoU5uM
"...No, not really. Not anymore."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVwjEGTjfV
"Perfect. Then I will never leave your side."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV2QYkpCuY
I immediately regretted the words I said earlier, as I realized he wasn't going to let me go.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqXV3Qebz8
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qIHxRxh21
I took him to bed, and about to head there myself, when someone knocked on my room window.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI4YrLAXgJ
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.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhXyyRrGlg
"Hey Iris..."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OflFLuQfm
Ecluna was still wrapped up in the old bandages.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39a5QiVrTM
"Ecluna?! We've been looking for you! Where have you been?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b40qNTfQ9
"I was only doing what I promised.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJdB7GdaEW
I lead her to the edge of the bed to sit, and rests her head on my shoulder.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J40bmAYBC
"I didn't want you to leave. I just wanted my friend back. That's why I pushed as hard as I did."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMj2JMIAb9
"...I understand how destructive I can be under influence of the Eclipse."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO82sQgdlF
"As do I with my new Darken forms.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwkfDSQXl6
She sadly chuckled. "...If only I had your mental strength.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JgFfZbfTO
"...It's getting late. Do you still want to leave?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A1Z7YC9Xv
Ecluna was weighing her options. After a confusing thought, finally, she came to a conclusion.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUttsvyC6x9
"...I'll have to think about it."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSzf4UxeOo
"Then you can stay here for the night." I threw her a pillow and pointed towards the closet."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9e8q6DR72
"There's blankets and extra pillows in there. Help yourself to them."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQNySPhJs9
"Thanks again for...forgiving me.."
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHwLAEFXOq
"Of course. That's what I'm supposed to do, isn't it?"
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0KZUUb36F
She slowly pulls a blanket from the closet, making a makeshift bed. I then turned off my bedside lamp and shuffled into bed.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegFdJBhc7j
I wonder what the morning will bring.
363Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbKvjcBTg0
