While we began circling one another, Mom set up a barrier to keep the others safe from the after effects of the attacks.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdeIafxLOD
Ecluna, with her Ecliptic energy, makes herself a weapon, before dashing towards me.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIX8JgvzE9
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnmmQ7usiD
I glance towards Arelin, Jake and the others. I felt a warm feeling when I saw the turned become more normal.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnFWem2rNM
Ecluna suddenly throws herself onto me, landing blow after blow right into my stomach.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaHNNOqclJ
I feel the pain burn within my entire body as her attacks grow stronger.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz0L0CKvbC
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8LkqRur8z
"Iris, don't tell me you're holding back to make sure your friends are okay..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUkCvf520s
Despite her large decrease in power, Ecluna's grip around my throat was tight.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp7QkInKVr
"What's the matter? Have you already given up on fighting back?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGijndcba7O
"T-That's e-enough.. Ecluna.." Arelin says through clenched teeth.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMJvWl1f0c
"Hmm? Did you say something Arelin?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEcGRQF7pB
She floats closer towards him.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K6KZzA0Oz
"D-don't...hurt her.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqlbsd3hvr
"...Jeez, I'll need to be quick if I wanna keep you."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0iD44EMgZ
Then, she turns back to me.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2snKZXxDST
"Hopefully I can kill you before he changes back.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tEdCQgMJa
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL849LCkTb
The last sliver of the Eclipse had to be charged up in it's final form.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq2bA6ivjC
"Consider this a final message. If I can't kill you..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIKEkdrsfQ
She immediately points the attack towards the others.
"Then I'll just kill them, and kill you from the inside!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid02SBfJW5
The attack fired, the maroon beam of Eclipsian magic tearing straight into the area where they were.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemKOv32CjX
Ecluna didn't change her expression, her eyes never moved off of the area until the dust clouds cleared.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftFboxjOmT
...A familiar, ancient aura became apparent.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4rfcnDITM
When I looked behind me, I noticed someone was standing next to Mom while she held a pendant in the air.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIREhuAGWPA
"...Iset. It has been too long..." she says under her breath.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWqF9E8sXM
"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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0U5mxGKgL
They were safe, luckily, the barrier that shielded them had barely a scratch.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV03XWHmxE
"Do not fret, Iris. She is weakened enough to where she can be subdued."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqYc1tnsl2
"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.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBkxwbqF5e
A scythe appears in her hand, as she brandishes it towards the bright red sky.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXZUpwN6yN
Slowly, I can feel my own form become more distant. Had my power begun to run out too?
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeVVUFcf7i
I put up my own weapon, but suddenly I dropped it, and shook my head.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfthD7vwe0S
"Again...your funeral.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6B2oYv0GY5
Ecluna dashes straight for my chest, but once again, someone saves me.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaho1s1mpR
"...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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mHHMTvCQw
However, that sense of tranquility was short lived, as suddenly Ciaran was shot out of the air with a sudden beam of energy.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjL5dio25A
"Of course you try to take my kill away from me, Ciaran!"
Ecluna says angrily.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpddQTtJd6b
"I cherish her enough to put myself in danger."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOJxClWRbj
"...Okay then, one last deal..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qLFiE9xEE
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqesjY7a7Du
"I-Iris...you have to stay awake."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr3SCl6dnM
I open my eyes again. "Why?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKojIp4FYtJ
He stops to think for a moment.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjW5z1bhjN
"I'm n-not sure why but... just stay awake... it's b-better if you stay awake.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk6syvYzq0
I nod. "Alright... I'll try.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpfqB6Gn2I
I listen to the conversation between Ciaran and Ecluna.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJBHEo2iSh
"Well, what is this deal of yours?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNnVOnPbKr
"Easy. Iris' safety in return of you."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajji2f3ghL
"You want to kill me in return for Iris' life? I am usually not very greedy, but I have a lot to live for.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX7wzLBjr9
"No no, I meant..." Ecluna pulls another transforming orb. "I get to keep you."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUWfVekQz7
"...That is something...interesting.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vWOxy3ZOy
"So, deal or no deal?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79BYU97CVq
Ciaran steps forward and removes his cape.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5Mva0YOba
"I will accept. Only if Arelin and Jake are released from your grasp.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6L8OTnE6e
"Less fun, but a deal's a deal.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ460aMiWnrg
Ecluna calls on the powers of the eclipse, as Arelin and Jake dropped to the ground, but their appearance had changed back to normal.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMr8yWmgVa
The two orbs used to transform them was brought into one, and Ecluna held it as it flared brilliantly.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUrGMIQMwi
"This is where I will say farewell for now."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXH36aEiEzQ
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..
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjHS4xcUtO
Ciaran stood up, examining himself.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIVKEDXQYy
"Isn't that a little better?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tyT0FjP4E
"It is...exhilarating."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTfrabT4z0
"Good good. How about we give that power a little test run, shall we?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9rDroGE4B
"With pleasure..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo0CY4GTES
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...
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ShK4Xsbjm
He starts to laugh. His laughing becomes so hysterical, I almost couldn't help but laugh with him. But... what was so funny?
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJHkwco3qX
"Ecluna, Ecluna, Ecluna...you poor soul. It seems you have misunderstood..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGWkV8t1gn
He lets me go, turning back into his original form.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTalEU6lkvA
"I have no bloodline. I made out of the essence of darkness itself. I cannot be Eclipsian by any means.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6zo1nzfR7
"...Well, I guess that's it then..."
She shrugs. "I have no more power to throw at you.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5E0oIIBSi
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43EIutRJ75
"W-what happened?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTnTTMqwCT
"...Take a look for yourself." Jake says, dusting himself off.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FeS84UXyj
Ecluna looks around. "D-did I do this?! What did I-..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXs9xuQCrs
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm8MWrbqB2
I stumbled towards her.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq3HOPe2ty
"Iris, stop! D-don't hurt yourself more!"
She cried.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pdmYcC9bu
"I have to make sure you're okay too.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFsLGGrLvf
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine-..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNTYg8NfJi
More blood spills from her mouth. "I'm okay, just...stay where you are.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgNC4HVIpp
"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."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaCsnYzBgY
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxOsDtq9VZ
***
I see everyone else staring back at me. I was back at home, snuggled under my quilt on my bed.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hCnMJd3uP
"Hello everyone..." I croak.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkXdj5pqP7
Everyone lets out a sigh of relief.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8WPWisdHs
"Thank goodness you're alright." My mom says.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IJSfW8Ll4
"...How long has it been?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SIjsDjJIQ
Jake gives my head a pat.
"A good four days. Ms. Ikura patched you up pretty good though..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY8MabzaFF
I jump up, only to be met with discomfort and dizziness. I had to stumble back into a sitting position.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbyf14B4zj
"...Is Ecluna okay?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJq3OYNQQn
"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..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUxshAmFET
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.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLjqFX5sbt
"And you better rest too.." Aluise added.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF3FxnMOEd
I nod. "Okay.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6AVCyCB7A
I begin to shuffle back into bed, resting my head against the frame.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF71C0CPxz0
"You're heading back to bed?" Jake says, sitting back in a chair.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfvZT7OYMr
I nod my head again.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuleeoi5Jr
"You're not even gonna eat first?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3HvEreuyW
"I am...a little hungry..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKuB3umW0v
"I think Arelin is making something..said he was waiting for you to wake up."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WaIjfucty
"Could you call him here for a minute then?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OXxBGPGO7
"... Alright." he gets back up from the chair with a slight limp and leaves. In a few seconds, Arelin was in the doorframe.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH8ofVRU4T
"...I'm sorry if I distracted you.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOfXTeZmlo
"It's fine. It's just about done right now."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzhioSXMLB
"Ah, alright then.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QSwfz1pKY
"...Ciaran was asleep behind you earlier, but I'm not sure where he could've went.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdQYHGdyEl
I pull back the quilt again, where Ciaran was sleeping comfortably underneath.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rp9YLZ9j2
"I found him.." I say, pulling him towards me.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I05ePm2jl
Ciaran wakes up when I do this, but promptly shuffles even closer.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxfp9DPTOf
"This is the calmest I've ever seen him..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7omxsGKJ2T
"...I'll be right back. You must be hungry..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bvstwwZHk
"I'm starving! Bring back something really good okay?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSzMknFqFO
A smirk appears on his face.
"Alright.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKlGf9sZeH
As soon as he leaves, Ciaran wakes up.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatlU551UsK
"You are...awake..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXfopEmxY3
"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I just needed to rest a bit.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtVCUNaHmy
Arelin comes back with a steaming plate.
"It's not much, but it should be enough with some bread.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksLlXEgSu4
He places the plate in front of me, before sitting on the bed beside me. I slowly pick up the fork and start eating.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXKgNzLSwk
Afterwards, the sleepiness started to come back. I yawned as my body starts to slide underneath the quilt more and more.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPDCCTJc0Q
"You're going back to sleep?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTXKiCTQB7
"Mhm...I want to be up bright and early tomorrow."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vJSVREBw6
Arelin gets up, taking the empty dish from my almost unresponsive hands.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4j0dCUSZY
"I will...check on you in the morning then.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TuYc0rNjE
He turns off the lights and shuts the door. I slowly closed my eyes, and I drifted off to sleep.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaXy9XL2R2
The next morning, I felt refreshed. Getting up from bed, I stretch and walk to my mirror.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs8iX39kVb
A sudden weight almost pulled me off my feet. As I struggled to stand up, I look at the mirror to see...
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd0ovpLT1o
"Good morning, Araginee..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNJykEQqbr
"Ciaran!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJCBDgeSSD
Ciaran held onto my shoulders and tried his best to hold on to my back while I tried to remove him.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTb8dSt4JL
"Get off of me! You're too heavy!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0VqJKfJDg
"You seem to be holding me just fine.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20lki9e5XJ
I sighed heavily. "I don't want to carry you around!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUbtTlrnw6
We have a wrestle for a bit. Eventually, I gave into his ways and let him stay there.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbInuncD8Ue
"How was your sleep?" he asked.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpIFPCTEkZ
I stumble to the hallway. "It was fine. You were taking up all the bed space though.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHdJpKTHCG
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3YBis29BL
"Good morning, Iris." Mom greeted, before giving Ciaran an untrusting, mean glare. "And Ciaran..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREylEnQ1f4
Ciaran responds. "Good morning to you too.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEYLxCGi29
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFoDiKsCDF
"Did you have a nightmare, Uncle Damien?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7lIWsqHHM
Walking over to him, I give him a grin. "If you keep thinking about stressful stuff, you'll never get any sleep.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbWKx6BhgL
He responds by tiredly turning around while mumbling and returning to sleep.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnFaiH5mLT
"That grumpy older brother of mine won't even smile a little for his only niece.."
Mom smirked and shook her head.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcQyS8euhF
"Arelin! Iris!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2HG3H4AzO
Someone comes running into my arms, but quickly, from the long, almost midnight colored hair, I immediately knew who it was.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K81pQ4ly1
"Hey, Alena!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf1s5T1Zy1
"I came as soon as I heard. Are you feeling alright?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUd7n71dwx
I assure her that I was feeling fine. "Yep! I'm doing really well!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepWyo2MeIw
"Good!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bqDNDtZNK
Alena then turns her attention to Ciaran, who I was still carrying.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57tpTW22DT
"Huh? Why is he here?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7h1pstcRI
"He decided it was a good idea to ride around with me today..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgloxovhXG
Ciaran only snickered mischievously.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj9I2nQrQd
"I sadly haven't been able to remove him yet.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqcdKQYhHt
Alena playfully flicks his nose.
"I think he's cute. He's like a little baby."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiJi7c57nr
"You compare me to a child?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FJKvlijAu
"Admit it, you can't go anywhere without Iris."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxBuEOYaiC
A weight was lifted from my back as Ciaran jumps off to lend Alena a stare.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KWY4fQGrX
"A-Ah! He's quick to anger!"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t8BwAEZqC
"Do not belittle me, Alena."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm0uBBYbKJ
"Hehe, belittle." She punned. Arelin laughs as well.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx44nJ69lP
"Why you..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQdLu8p22j
Before Ciaran could get a hold of her neck, I pull him back. "Alright Ciaran, no need to get all snippy."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrp5iaACo7
He slips back behind me.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycEwo3Pslw
"That...girl..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQ66dohIPU
"Don't worry, she's just messing with you."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuf03a2jem
"...Her presence now pesters me to no end.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BVmiNHyT0
I sigh. "You're a lot of work, you know that?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYRNjmXgb6
He rests his chin on my shoulder.
"Am I?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEX1tgi7g3
"...No, not really. Not anymore."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqXkmJaqXq
"Perfect. Then I will never leave your side."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZCN1CPTEU
I immediately regretted the words I said earlier, as I realized he wasn't going to let me go.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOFFA4iFYF
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RSfBkB6Zp
I took him to bed, and about to head there myself, when someone knocked on my room window.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFiRNrJRVC
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.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOdZIXO5B3
"Hey Iris..."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmPKozMRFH
Ecluna was still wrapped up in the old bandages.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9ylcrHBFv
"Ecluna?! We've been looking for you! Where have you been?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNttxGf3Of
"I was only doing what I promised.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu5AHbqGyh
I lead her to the edge of the bed to sit, and rests her head on my shoulder.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S3pbBxTdX
"I didn't want you to leave. I just wanted my friend back. That's why I pushed as hard as I did."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZBHI29ZwT
"...I understand how destructive I can be under influence of the Eclipse."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuQ9M5hIBj
"As do I with my new Darken forms.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKFqzVQ6ZS
She sadly chuckled. "...If only I had your mental strength.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCYZdqPI5e
"...It's getting late. Do you still want to leave?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I1BJ5HUaJ
Ecluna was weighing her options. After a confusing thought, finally, she came to a conclusion.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjsixrWHbg
"...I'll have to think about it."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKRLRfNUWd
"Then you can stay here for the night." I threw her a pillow and pointed towards the closet."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenHOaMJoFo
"There's blankets and extra pillows in there. Help yourself to them."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3uAkDHtRU
"Thanks again for...forgiving me.."
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZpqaM2lik
"Of course. That's what I'm supposed to do, isn't it?"
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbjoyHkRGV
She slowly pulls a blanket from the closet, making a makeshift bed. I then turned off my bedside lamp and shuffled into bed.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRpu2g52Zw
I wonder what the morning will bring.
362Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4Uw1VRES2
