"Rise and shine, Prodigies!" Verna's peppy voice awoken the group. "Let's get ready for the coronation of Father Time today!"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR1rw8kfkX
Catherine scratches her neck as she pushes the quilt off. "Coronation?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomWeHBxjAa
"Apparently, a new Father Time is to be crowned today." Nathaniel states, stretching.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8a2tNXQMv
"Your mission today is to just watch over the new guy before the celebration begins. Pretty easy, right?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtOsRLONFz
"Wait...our job today is to be a goddamn babysitter?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bcl1dXh5w
"If that's how you view it, yes. But as a reward, you get to go to the after-party!"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRObrjUUqf
"That at least solves dinner..." Ezra thinks aloud.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkW0f5ByGt
"Breakfast will be served once you get there, so just put on your clothes and shoes and...look a little presentable.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4h0fz9XES
"No prob.." Arsenio says. "Let me just get my morning tea before I go.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVfeeRFXUg
"T-Tea?" Isabelle asks while brushing her hair.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKrCE8UjMA
"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."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UdJ1txzan
"...Alright then..." Arsenio says, slowly sitting down and sliding his hands in his coat pockets. "I'll just wait until later then.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7REjaw3n4
"Is everyone ready?" Verna asks, peeking into the room as she does so.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMEoTq2euS
"I think so.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN6rXZ5R9n
"Good, good!" she fully opens the doors to let the Prodigies out. "Then, let's go, shall we?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMfi5Lth86
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwtSXl5aUP
"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."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFnwHvk2at
"...Is it because he's blonde?" Catherine remarked.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC52cPCEYg
"... That might have had a influence on the nickname, yes."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyawqKBKw7P
They watched as walked stone faced across to the home of Father Time.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1u44MWZUC
"Let's go." Verna says, instructing them to follow Chrono.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeZsDCoR3E
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpepmZIaQm
"Hello?" Catherine waited for a response.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlng2Yjk14A
"J-Just a minute!" A voice called out before crashing and falling is heard. Then, from the stairs emerged Chrono.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeECJvyIWh
"Verna, very nice to see you again. And these four might be?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZiQzXkwwn
"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."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbI4QjbqSIc
"I see..."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCsfF6Teom
"Thanks again for doing this, guys."
Verna time warps away.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdQFshrhGn
"...Which one of you is which? I just don't want to be confused.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkwqGgARB2
They introduce themselves once again, giving him some clarity.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyJmWjuLQX
"Ah, well it's nice to meet all of you."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaamnYSoGuK
"Verna t-told us that w-we would have s-some breakfast.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPxVUeDrsr
"Of course. You've come here quite early, so I'm sure you four are starving."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGyUpwxi19
"Yeah..." Catherine agreed, lightly holding her stomach.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhB9i3XCz1
"I thought so. I've prepared something, so don't worry."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTMxSvYuiJ
Chrono brandishes a golden door, which he promptly throws open and reveals some nice breakfast meals, already plated and ready to eat.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX1SKB31op
"You m-made all of this yourself?!" Catherine exclaimed, impressed.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMIMvIXVJg
"I was just planning on making food for myself, but I didn't want to be rude.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf2KxRC5sq
"It does look rather...delectable..." Nathaniel says, clearing his throat.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnemmeUcuV1
"Well, shall we eat or watch it get cold?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bFRn6qfmS
The four Prodigies and the Son of Time all sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast, basically wolfing down the entire plate before them.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyELwC5uojA
"Man, that was good..." Arsenio says, stretching in his seat.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5oG0nnJ2S
"I'm glad you enjoyed. It's very difficult to find people who enjoy similar interests to me."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MfTRhkaeQ
"Now what? Do you just read books and whatnot?" Catherine asked, taking the last sip of her drink.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCXg56yC2q
"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.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5BObDJ3ZW
"Then why not join us? From what we've experienced, we certainly need the help." Arsenio asks, leaned back in his chair.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGSjeiu75e
"I was never suited for things like that, unfortunately..." Chrono sighs. "My Gift is also a little...hard to control."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrxYoXvBJw
"...Can we see it?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6VTTkRQfY
Chrono begins to rub his arms as guilt and embarrassment threw itself on his face.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXy1jNF8AaJ
"You can say no, you know..." Catherine speaks. "No one's forcing you."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZt2buQiqb
"It's...complicated."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51bOnOKtqb
"That's u-understandable...I have a Gift I can't quite c-control myself..."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdPKOR8rnj
Dawlly immediately pops itself out of Isabelle's pocket with an annoyed look.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj6ykGzk9E
"I-It's true..." she looks at Dawlly with the same annoyed look.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzNi5rkKQz
"Interesting.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjthLVQqDG
"Is there anything else you like to do other than read and fantasize?" Catherine asks.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YvdrtJQ3v
"I like to learn more about my Gift."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI7lHuNCQe
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4bDMDiFIK
"O-oh my.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vUhM9RSqX
"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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOErW9mTAIQ
"So, what's your Gift? I'm sure you four have gotten one.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjUC08VlUU
Catherine nudges Nathaniel. "You show yours first. You're the supposed leader."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEae4c2lad
"I have never said that I was a leader..."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPxZmW1N5M
"W-Well..." Isabelle added. "You d-do know the most out of all of us..."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5dzebCU1I
"...Fine.." Nathaniel reluctantly agrees.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy25uMMqqiu
First, his arm, then up to his shoulder, until his entire body was covered in armor.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrEJ1SKTtJ
"You never told me you could do that.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m1VaAhidI
"I feel as if there is... no need to use the full Gift. It is...uncomfortable.." He speaks from within the suit.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LTkgy24V5
"Well, get the hell out of it then..."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkX3hbwaWN4
He removes himself from the armor, reverting back to his velvet clothes.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPaqn62kqP
"Well, since thou wants to assume roles, maybe thou would like to go next, co-leader?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yKD9bP6KH
"Of course you pin this crap on me.." Catherine growled. "But sure, why not?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf31jxXjvLY
She slips through her chair, and all the way through the floor.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2MmcYQ5Nf
It was like she was in her own dimension, her escape from reality. She swam around as she heard the others from above.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFFRhVprvl
That's when she heard a voice calling her name from the distance.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZc3ml5hHW
"Hello?" The voice creepily whispered.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf46TL3rx4
"The hell?" She exclaimed. That freaked her out enough to pull herself out of the Phasing dimension.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaoVWZJJR4
She gasped, as if she was underwater when she crawled out.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNQtYUtKg4
"You alright? You've been in the floor for quite a while..." Arsenio mentioned.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8rqgKUDVZ
"...Yeah, something just... freaked me out.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAnQfVev2H
She slides back in her seat...
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk8IQFd5An
"I-I'll go next..." Isabelle announces. Within seconds, the threads began pulling themselves out of her sleeves.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXLRhCv9tb
"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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn23yPRKoCw
"I just had to wake up today! Is it wrong to get some sleep around here?!"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEZhlNO82z
Dawlly smiles innocently as Isabelle continues to roar.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UVHbNh0GH
"Don't worry, I've got this.." Arsenio stands up. "Trust me, my charm is irresistible."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7XxFtQQzh
He grabs her wrists, looks her deep into her eyes..
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLq4dUl00I
"Ah, great..." Catherine grumbled, rolling her eyes.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPJSF2Hn0K
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that you look adorable when you're angry?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nr3QTHnxr
Isabelle, easily flustered and caught off guard, immediately snaps back to her timid self.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCyEz9ppK7
"See?" He points out. "It's like a secret perk I have." He starts throwing up two pieces of jewelry.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwfhRccpz0
Isabelle immediately feels her ears.
"M-my earrings!"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eXtTi2dHu
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."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhXhjxpf6c
Isabelle just kept turning red as she puts back on her earrings.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgT3VSE58E
"So, you yourself do not have a Gift just yet, Arsenio?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdV3qaXlKpW
"I haven't really felt anything, so no...I think."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeymQTdI4RX
Outside, bells begin to ring. Chrono looks up at the clock sitting across the room from him on the wall.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa2qofdA2g
"Ah...only an hour left..."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkDGta1muM
"Is there anything else thou wants to say to us before thou becomes Father Time?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6EUBNYAvt
"Use your Gift well, and I hope we get to see each other more in the future."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtNNRnNJWw
Chrono smiles genuinely.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTLWIrYDRM
"So, what now?" Arsenio says, picking his teeth.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQlH0uZb17
"Well, if you four are attending the ceremony, you'll have to be properly dressed."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFsKtUbgSB
"Well, Verna could've told us that earlier.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYriFnvIGB7
"Don't worry, we have a public closet full of gowns and suits for you to wear."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡema4cs6x1Z
Chrono stands up, leads them upstairs and pulls open a closet door.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG34O9rR9L
There were attire in every color of the rainbow.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYbKlbVmAu
"Hey, now this is nice!" Catherine says, walking into the spacious closet.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtVg0I5aNF
"Don't be afraid to pick whatever you want!" Chrono says, leaving.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwVaywMCla
Trying to decide what attire to wear, the Prodigies pick the most extravagant and dazzling outfit that fit them the most.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLxSPDPVrK
The four take turns putting on their new clothes, which gleamed and twinkled in the light. Once the four return to the closet.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlfzSFfSrN
"Looking nice girls.." Arsenio says.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNUzHHGylV
"These shoes are gonna kill me later, but yeah, thanks.."
Catherine complained.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5qhfcP0hG
"Now that that portion has been completed.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EyZaOMe4i
Nathaniel grabs Arsenio by the shoulder.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkGyoog0Ji
"Arsenio. Thou shall come with me."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPqxtPo9FH
He drags him away.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93jaHwrhh1
"Hey uh, Nathaniel, what are you trying to do?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEMdE2DDHh
"We must fix this hair of thine.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxNwBJp9Y3
"Wait...Nate no, my hair is fine-"
Nathaniel pulls Arsenio outside.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW1J0JZWMa
"Well, it w-wouldn't be too wrong to d-do the same, would it?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlA2heLSCF
"No, we can take turns doing each other's hair. That seems hella fun!"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkbmS373cD
"O-okay!"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpJJnyil6t
Isabelle finds some combs, brushes, and hair accessories.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBw4OePIoW
"N-now, what kind of hairstyle would you want?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8DjPncZkL
"Something simple, I guess. Not trying to impress anyone.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa3hQG11m9
Isabelle gets to unbraiding Catherine's hair, carefully and gracefully taking it apart. In the middle of brushing however, Isabelle stops.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMRblwLEmC
"Uhm...Catherine?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1XsmMIVGl
"Yeah?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCKQgX4AbY
"There's a m-mark or something...on your neck.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4Ye1pnMub
"Huh? What does it look like?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmVnLsRN6z
"It l-looks like something scratched you... you didn't g-get attacked b-by anything, did you?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7R2sZqf73
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.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBaAoZxBbE
"D-Do you have any allergies?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zEIVARV8J
"I'm not supposed to."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVF12YP49T
"...Oh my.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtcyh146Hd
"I'm not too worried about it... it'll clear up soon..."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowvjndBkbt
"...If you say so.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHljYVN5cp9
Isabelle continues to brush and straighten Catherine's hair. Before she knew it, Isabelle was already putting a flower pin neatly upon her head.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMbIa40MGO
Isabelle puts a mirror in front of her face. "T-Tada!"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN7LVRKM67
"Oh damn. That's actually really good."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKD0TYBHjp
"T-thank you.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5lhFgXU38
They switch positions, with Catherine sitting behind Isabelle to do her hair.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH6y5NYOCu
"Is there anything specific you want to get?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4Hum2y6yX
"U-Uhm.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9656THfzG
"Oh wait, I actually learned how to do this one hairstyle, French roll or something like that?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZkRvTe7SH
"Okay, that one t-then.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TVyTAXhFP
"Alright."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooJFCzd6Oj
Catherine gathers all of Isabelle's hair, pulling it together, wrapping it around itself, until it looks like the hairstyle.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAk0mY2Pzy
"Crap, I don't have any hair pins.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTfJVysnYH
"D-don't worry, I have a backup.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ni4CgOF4X
With her Gift, Isabelle sews the updo together until it fits securely, then places her own pin into her head.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KB5WmMyj6
"...That works too.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsoQ6qnCDf
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxNVccPJWN
"I still don't get why you did this, it was fine as it is.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk4i3BRZnw
"Trust me, thou would rather look like this."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDnksIRCsK
"I see the boys didn't have a good time picking out hairstyles." Catherine taunted.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL5EZVEUYv
"T-They do seem to be in a debate.." Isabelle added.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmiWtYIVr8
"It's gonna take forever to put my hair back now.." Arsenio protested.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhCu036Y7D
"Let's not w-worry about that... we're supposed t-to have fun.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtkn8SwFIF
"Yeah, I guess that's true..."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T27FGJR5t
There was thirty more minutes left. Still plenty of time to waste. Chrono comes back to check on them.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfIOd7vBPE
"Ah, looking exquisite Prodigies!" Chrono praises them. "I'm sure you'll be the best looking ones out there!"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8CMCbC5VK
"Eh, I doubt it, but I feel a lot prettier in this poofy thing.." Catherine flutters the ends of her dress.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0ymaLI8Zw
"Ah, don't be so modest, you look great!"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89LMrZ09pz
"Well, we still have lots of time. What should we do until then?" Arsenio asks.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxFuMU8SuW
"Why wait?" Chrono asks. "I can manipulate time at will. I'll just skip time a few minutes.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaNiaioPI8
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKEON7VZDH
"...That was...strange."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUseMQofuMP
"Let's go. The ceremony's about to start."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1IMj0W2pN
Catherine pushes Chrono out of the door. "We're right behind you, don't worry."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOvGNqePII
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqZAjwbrIc
The crowd begins to applaud as Verna appears behind Chrono. She clears her throat.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPV4eqQlvJ
"Welcome everyone, to Chrono's coronation. It's been a while since we've had one of these, huh?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclHEqj5D34
The crowd erupted into light laughter.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8Na3xZZSV
"Anyways," she continued. "let's get to the best part."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7eIyZojf7
She turns Chrono around, hold his hands gently.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXizJtOATho
"Do you solemnly swear, as long as you live, that you will fairly rule over the Time Realm?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rl5GNPavs
Chrono silently nods.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡds0Ng60EEg
Verna releases his hands, opens her own, and in them, appears an extravagant crown which seemed to glow in the light.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0H9I8A9ZQX
"Well then," she places it upon his head. "..you are now Father Time."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxtspr572g
Everyone explodes into cheers. The Prodigies couldn't help but clap along.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RAS8gBPnD
"Now, let us commence. Grab a partner, for the party is about to begin!"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ngktaZUYY
Groups begin to pull apart into parties of two, music begins to fade in.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjLvJuqDPM
Catherine feels fluttery from the tension.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoN3XEs405
"...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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlozttIPHz
"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."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0CoNO5YlH
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LSKWotOEa
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EPhdGRi0p
"Does thou plan to do this at every party?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks9clrrIX6
Catherine finds the source of the tension. She knew Nathaniel was standing behind her the entire time. Without looking back, she responds.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGp7YbgWHs
"I don't have anything else to do. Why'd you follow me anyway?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwavCVhhbjJ
"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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDHBY4b6Wr
"Nate, you dumbass..."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNHovPDChZ
"Hm?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gFTsF28Wx
"You have jam and crap all over your face.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNKohpXrOz
She pulls a napkin, and is just about to hand it to him, when a voice yells in pain, quieting the party to silence.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ2XGbCI9C
"...What's going on?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDhGpiuAk3
"I am not sure."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2sKU5BqIO
"...Boost me."

"What?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1AP8AWgzL
Catherine struggles to climb up Nathaniel. Once she reaches his shoulders, her eyes catch something unexpected.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QH7rxmoS5
"It's...Chrono.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLr7MW37Nf
The two push participants out of the way.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ENNe9fMlJ
"I was worried about his hands and..." a girl whispered towards them.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBGiGVcexS
"Don't worry, we've got this."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyXWHqcO5M
It seems like his Gift was finally coming into play.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG01AZHBKHX
"Chrono...are you alright?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjMyjUwAck
Chrono grabs the edge of Catherine's dress to pull himself up.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1ZPosO1AE
"I'm fine, really! My Gift just... activated all on it's own.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0aREFuf0q
As he stands up, everyone could see his Gift's true form. His face was plated halfway with gold, just as his arms were.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWUtHpGea3
"But seriously, I'm fine!"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkQD626hWl
More of his face became jagged.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw4ttvHZOm
"... Let's go. Nate, you get Arsenio and Isabelle."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AidFc4nnB
Catherine pulled Chrono away from the party, taking him back the House of Father Time.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UFCyaIfII
"Okay, Chrono...what happened?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe7lmBRqLr
"I-I think the stress...plus the demonstration from this morning..."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJqR5lg8FU
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBT3h1f9KrR
"C-Chrono? Are you okay?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWWnYksood
"I-I am f-fine, Prodigies...this is just what happens...It's a little painful, though..."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgbsDX40Bo
More barbs rip around his body, horns even start to curve from his head.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxrmIJkD0Z
"O-Oh goodness.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexEetmqitN
"I just have to...fight it. I can't hurt anyone if..."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUngEhrues6
His breathing gets heavier than stones.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxt0hHiurzy
"Is there anyone we can get for help?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PYypYQAtz
"You don't need to bring anyone. Just...leave before it.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc6db9KY12
Without thinking, Chrono threw a glass from a table right beside him.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cRmheMlsG
"Okay okay! Let's calm down.." Arsenio says, recovering from dodging.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGwXZRsVN9
"I-I can't! It's going to..."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLUuZZasig
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLdTTQNJLU
Catherine simply used Phasing to break her fall, diving into the floor.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gXIw8th19
The voice from before called again. "There she is again!"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3UepA7bpq
"...Who the hell are you? What do you want?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyvzVlCUTw
She saw a stripe of bright cyan wave past her. Catherine tried desperately to find where the line went.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnCtk0DI9X
"...Behind you.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcu35L7Mwnu
Catherine turned around to see the menacing face of a dragon staring back at her. She was about to take a breath to scream.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRKelaFM3Q
"Hey, don't scream. I just want to know how you got here."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCPRgexC0f
Catherine confusingly looks.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPvDJgj5zb
"This is my Gift...I can phase through crap like it's water. I broke my fall from a building.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu4w6RhSUU
"Oh, you must be the person I marked yesterday. Makes sense, I guess.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHqsO1tU8v
"M-Marked?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45P2GTw2CW
"That itch you could never satisfy." It points towards Catherine's neck.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JSI8D210k
"...Wait, that was you?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy9snGzs41
The serpent playfully clears it's throat before bellowing menacingly.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95B9BAA9DL
"Allow me to become you, and I shall spare your life!"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZP03sWt9M
"...Do I get other abilities other than falling through stuff?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQkd1sgBms
The dragon shrugs. "I think so?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehrd6FI3JC
"Great. Come on then."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVAeuNqzla
It phases through Catherine, unlocking a surge of energy and power within her.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUV8ikfQBu
Catherine climbs out of the dimension as the others were looking for her.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JvJHIhHVG
"Sorry if I scared you guys.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFNCmTryCz
"Catherine! Y-you're okay!"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmBsIk0ctW
"Yeah, I just got a new friend."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF68QHez46A
The dragon only appeared as a ghost coiled around her body.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw3kK1liVw
"And her name is?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjiofacSPP
"Not sure.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfFvqCuYNm
Like a ghost, the dragon swapped her soul with Catherine's.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOg8CCzl2io
"Piravit. My name is Piravit, the Spiritual Dragon of Phasing. I have chosen Catherine here as my host..."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fbfLxFdxm
"Thou is...possessing her.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNcz5NifTF
"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."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfl1cguGr5
"Cool. Now...about him.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdmy6Mv2Qg
Arsenio points at the shattered window that Catherine fell out of.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGJZHUNAig
Chrono's roar echoed throughout the realm as he perched on the window.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQxgkLizLm
"Oi! You have some explaining to do!"
Catherine says as she takes back control of her body.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23nsBx8jlA
"...Catherine, that's the Time Beast!"
Piravit says as a echoing voice inside her head.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDaABNx3K7
"Eh? That's Chrono, that's just his Gift."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7c74giZJe
"Like you, he's been marked. If he sees me with you, he'll kill us both!"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYBF6XRtly
As on cue, Chrono jumps down right in front of Catherine, as if analyzing her. Then with angry aura, throws her again.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1JX892ySh
Catherine hits the ground, tumbling.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmuZB44q8n
She struggles to pick herself up, as Chrono runs towards her.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gc1H5bewL
"What the hell did you do for him to get pissed off?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcDTXd1SEL
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.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8QmxQPlYx
"You have gotta be kidding me!"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuyT9a392y
"But don't worry! I'm sure if we beat him, he'll come to his senses!"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZRXQ6b67z
Chrono pulls a punch towards them, only to be stopped by Isabelle's thread.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUrjCmu9kl
"C-Chrono! You h-have to come t-to your senses!"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SyBgOC80x
"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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQGNV5Rvdy
"I-I'm sorry...I can't k-keep him still..."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eXBz7ZmIo
"It's alright! You've spared me some time!"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthIP9DybT4
"Let me take over!" Piravit immediately pulls Catherine out, becoming the one in control.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnyEm9A6iM
As soon as Chrono began a barrage of punches, Piravit pulls away, but was able to only dodge a few before tanking them.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RvQVJRET6
"He's way too fast! I can't get a hit on him!"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEmGqU0gqF
As Chrono kept punching her in the chest, Piravit, in Catherine's body, was thinking of ideas, pondering as hard as her breathing.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGjsK9BdLS
Piravit begins to punch rapidly in response, until the two stop.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij0gKdmjpb
"I have to say..." Piravit states tauntingly. " You've given me quite the workout since I left my dimension-"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOfAHGNrMm
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaEafVRGX4
"So, p-playing dirty are we?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGvRhzQbXw
Chrono responds with an angry, but silent, glare.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIidRN8Nds
"Great, I like games without rules..."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUx1wZR1vM
Piravit phases back into the floor. When they return to the Phasing Dimension, the two separate.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0j8MOctDa
"Okay, so new plan..."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhZ1gwH3N3
Catherine coughs as she feels the after effects of earlier.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBlEKgw0rY
"You better think of something and fast..."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgkXHUabRy
"There's one last thing we can do, but you have to follow a specific set of rules and-"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tGoF89tgO
"Nevermind... I'll figure something out.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0jRdjdwvY
Catherine jumps from the dimension and behind Chrono, where she sneakily kicks him.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWyNytR7e4
Piravit follows shortly behind her.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnE04jlaNT
She kneels down towards Chrono.
"Well? Are you having fun yet? Not fun being attacked without noticing, huh?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUAj8iQunl
Chrono swipes at Catherine's arm, barely cutting her.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiWQuv1eMB
"...Nah. Didn't think so.." she says, standing up. "Didn't know you'd get this bad.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdlPQ5fMdG
She picks him up. "Come on. Let's finish this so you can go back to normal at least. I have things to do.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1FOMLzN6v
Catherine stands in a fighting position.
"I'll only use my power alone."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk42hhGu6uY
"Then allow me to join you." Arsenio says, standing beside her.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLweCVw6r0
"What are you gonna do, flirt him to death?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT74qRYlopo
"I actually had something else in mind.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJflSTOdmgK
Arsenio was finally able to conjure a Gift, as an arm cannon faded to fit on top of his hand.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7hXqeIFOl
"I wanted to test this thing, you know?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfEAmc8YVQ
"...Whatever."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvfWX4SBc2
"Come forward..." Chrono says menacingly.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8Z4qeWTvx
"Whatever you say, your Majesty."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzynTTkz3u
As the two-on-one began, more of the participants of the ceremony began to watch from a distance.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdJLcOwDQZ
"Seems like we've made quite an audience.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIDySRWvrc
"Let's make this the best coronation the Time Realm has ever seen.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhpaRFUV5Vo
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0a0ITTzht
With a sharp yell, time itself began to slow.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4oIMQMEAX
"Damnit! We're stuck until.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttxtsyZZ0i
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOMvSqeQT5
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfTFjnyYew
"...I don't think we're gonna make it if he keeps stopping time like that.." She says, spitting up blood and standing up.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDkHATHNPm
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9voSQVlNiv
Catherine jumps up.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoHR51oDp0
"You're welcome!" Arsenio says from afar.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKRKicFHLT
"Thanks! Keep looking for openings!"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOoPTokDxC
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmplRotmmoI
"A-alright...you've proven your worth.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG9qBIXC7Z
"Is this Chrono we're speaking to?" Arsenio asks as his Gift charges up once again and picks Catherine up.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YpLlTcYxA
"I-I'm not sure.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2Z6JZ12Ic
"Make sure you're sure. I'd hate to hit you with this thing for no reason."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh7NkiGXwv
"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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jV4Wm8xYV
Chrono shakes his head. "N-nevermind! Let us continue with the celebration, yes?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTKAdgzHCZ
"To be honest, I'm worn out..."
Catherine huffed. "You're like...crazy strong."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdnwjFx8pR
"I-I'll make it up to you, I swear!"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHmTgmkphO
Piravit peeks from the floor. "Can I come out now?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHK7DBzVFd
"Depends.." Chrono says. "Are you willing to take your side of the deal?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKazosnsaoZ
"Eep!" Piravit says, coiling itself around Catherine and hiding behind her. "A-Ah! My part of the deal...?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHMboUkmm1
"You shall give me full entry to your dimension. That was your promise to me."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFnfWvpYnU
"...Fine. But you can't keep using Chrono as a vessel for your battles."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cwnHlbz4r
Chrono stares for a second, before hitting the ground, parts of his golden shell chipping off.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsAy1oaIkK
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3CLj6N3Ur
"He's suppressed his power...I think."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDXZibdU3v
"Wait, they have a gender?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWMZeTDY4c
"Yeah..." Piravit answered. "It is quite obvious that I'm female. No whiskers, see?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9rPOr97WW
"I guess.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyd0ANCCbJE
"Catherine! Arsenio!" Isabelle says, stumbling her own feet. "A-Are you two alright?"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEscljuFKm
"I'm good. Not sure about Catherine though."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pljmMawNp
"Nah, I'll be alright. I don't think he broke anything."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1SAz6Xz5B
Nathaniel also approaches them with another tart in hand.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJlvnMt977
"Nate! You just had one of those things!"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSysESCzZVR
"I must try every single flavor." He says taking another giant bite.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY9oSf99p3
"..M-Maybe we should g-go.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ904yHL3Obe
"Are you sure? We can just...continue the party as normal.."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ffpHa0OoH
Arsenio shrugs. "Seems like a plan to me."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHZ4041OLG
Slowly, the music begins to play. Partners begin to group together. It was like the party was uninterrupted the entire time.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi73uBx992N
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.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmsWVJfO75
After the party, the Prodigies carried Chrono back into the House of Father Time.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6YaNZRCK7
"Thank you, you four. Hopefully I can get around with solving some of your Timebreaker problems sometime!"
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5Dpq9DFRw
"We'd greatly appreciate it. We don't know how strong the next one'll be."
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhcPVXrtgg
Chrono waves them away as they go back to the Sanctuary. Ezra was already asleep when they returned, wrapped up in a blanket.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF4GBJc1F8
"Well, we should get some rest too."
Catherine announced.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UjAPLo3n7
"Way ahead of you." Arsenio says, dropping into the bed.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f2Ae78Hrw
Everyone puts themselves to bed for the night, and the Prodigies fall asleep.
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6DoVLLLWO
Silently, in the middle of the night, someone's Tempural Energy swarmed the room...
709Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtW6nKOn2N
