While we began circling one another, Mom set up a barrier to keep the others safe from the after effects of the attacks.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCkpCLkn83
Ecluna, with her Ecliptic energy, makes herself a weapon, before dashing towards me.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccNzSyxmbT
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJqDeOeLJf
I glance towards Arelin, Jake and the others. I felt a warm feeling when I saw the turned become more normal.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEHeySTbWg
Ecluna suddenly throws herself onto me, landing blow after blow right into my stomach.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnBD9rtxKN
I feel the pain burn within my entire body as her attacks grow stronger.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y6GNL2VTh
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87sGtUsjBB
"Iris, don't tell me you're holding back to make sure your friends are okay..."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9GufwDHWu
Despite her large decrease in power, Ecluna's grip around my throat was tight.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNjfIYU2Pu
"What's the matter? Have you already given up on fighting back?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsSm0wp5ou
"T-That's e-enough.. Ecluna.." Arelin says through clenched teeth.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiOn6VFB1L
"Hmm? Did you say something Arelin?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpatPjYDUFp
She floats closer towards him.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybBRJnW8K0
"D-don't...hurt her.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbpajZZ7NL
"...Jeez, I'll need to be quick if I wanna keep you."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdAPkZLDMP
Then, she turns back to me.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHeKCxd7oX
"Hopefully I can kill you before he changes back.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0T3YHR4ej
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjDsec9vN7
The last sliver of the Eclipse had to be charged up in it's final form.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClmgMRyfNW
"Consider this a final message. If I can't kill you..."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIeUmZYEih
She immediately points the attack towards the others.
"Then I'll just kill them, and kill you from the inside!"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4tOeCiHww
The attack fired, the maroon beam of Eclipsian magic tearing straight into the area where they were.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0fO2ZKjgr
Ecluna didn't change her expression, her eyes never moved off of the area until the dust clouds cleared.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPUv2hREAx
...A familiar, ancient aura became apparent.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYnrcS8r6n
When I looked behind me, I noticed someone was standing next to Mom while she held a pendant in the air.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH35k8vfBID
"...Iset. It has been too long..." she says under her breath.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsVoP8URQv
"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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC1voXhB5O
They were safe, luckily, the barrier that shielded them had barely a scratch.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeVwY8lUDA
"Do not fret, Iris. She is weakened enough to where she can be subdued."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRbQtqv75M
"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.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVmOXqe44n
A scythe appears in her hand, as she brandishes it towards the bright red sky.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDrqb8rtMi
Slowly, I can feel my own form become more distant. Had my power begun to run out too?
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtClVaDEjnH
I put up my own weapon, but suddenly I dropped it, and shook my head.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiydPRz9pd3
"Again...your funeral.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xUQW0E4Dv
Ecluna dashes straight for my chest, but once again, someone saves me.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0uWNkp8ZN
"...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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZask2tEXO3
However, that sense of tranquility was short lived, as suddenly Ciaran was shot out of the air with a sudden beam of energy.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QSAQwduYk
"Of course you try to take my kill away from me, Ciaran!"
Ecluna says angrily.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuctjfsic5K
"I cherish her enough to put myself in danger."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6UbMFyaya
"...Okay then, one last deal..."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN830p1RJsp
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPxCkEPCMJ
"I-Iris...you have to stay awake."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5igcNwj8L
I open my eyes again. "Why?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN51WzuUmGB
He stops to think for a moment.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhSJzZYfXk
"I'm n-not sure why but... just stay awake... it's b-better if you stay awake.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ThIug2zqh
I nod. "Alright... I'll try.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4egqLtr70
I listen to the conversation between Ciaran and Ecluna.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCwXIfnmw3
"Well, what is this deal of yours?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTatZH3eND5
"Easy. Iris' safety in return of you."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp7iTlLKmp
"You want to kill me in return for Iris' life? I am usually not very greedy, but I have a lot to live for.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gaxxZxCZQ
"No no, I meant..." Ecluna pulls another transforming orb. "I get to keep you."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6WLefvLVt
"...That is something...interesting.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEodnhwvfl6
"So, deal or no deal?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PRHQ005CN
Ciaran steps forward and removes his cape.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioGZmsBmdO
"I will accept. Only if Arelin and Jake are released from your grasp.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosHl5FQo3c
"Less fun, but a deal's a deal.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD3AsrcIav
Ecluna calls on the powers of the eclipse, as Arelin and Jake dropped to the ground, but their appearance had changed back to normal.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QNhNqSwuy
The two orbs used to transform them was brought into one, and Ecluna held it as it flared brilliantly.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEX3osl6Kb
"This is where I will say farewell for now."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb3H0Eb3jU
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..
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKFah9p4PK
Ciaran stood up, examining himself.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4mNKS2PBG
"Isn't that a little better?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2R4L9LOle
"It is...exhilarating."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGLDVMgbbA
"Good good. How about we give that power a little test run, shall we?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItcpY4Wvei
"With pleasure..."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VUeJDcihG
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...
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj6VA2kb9G
He starts to laugh. His laughing becomes so hysterical, I almost couldn't help but laugh with him. But... what was so funny?
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW6nDAiM1N
"Ecluna, Ecluna, Ecluna...you poor soul. It seems you have misunderstood..."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0IzRTno2e
He lets me go, turning back into his original form.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjp3iiV88v
"I have no bloodline. I made out of the essence of darkness itself. I cannot be Eclipsian by any means.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigz1dNHwgr
"...Well, I guess that's it then..."
She shrugs. "I have no more power to throw at you.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMwyHyOIF7
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4IFOxcLsX
"W-what happened?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnffYB3S8Io
"...Take a look for yourself." Jake says, dusting himself off.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkS1T87vg6L
Ecluna looks around. "D-did I do this?! What did I-..."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwa84xrAxf
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6dZwEv48D
I stumbled towards her.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOarg8srip
"Iris, stop! D-don't hurt yourself more!"
She cried.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v1GBq78C0
"I have to make sure you're okay too.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrnq7IFqdp
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine-..."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSjalbcfYs
More blood spills from her mouth. "I'm okay, just...stay where you are.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkpRvyjjJG
"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."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUHmIpuyVw
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADbqOBUVfO
***
I see everyone else staring back at me. I was back at home, snuggled under my quilt on my bed.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxqYAr6ago
"Hello everyone..." I croak.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkv2nERf7h
Everyone lets out a sigh of relief.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjwxE4lEwk
"Thank goodness you're alright." My mom says.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgRovmQ4uu
"...How long has it been?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZBsj6nvrm
Jake gives my head a pat.
"A good four days. Ms. Ikura patched you up pretty good though..."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDD8VJXto4
I jump up, only to be met with discomfort and dizziness. I had to stumble back into a sitting position.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrLMtghYU2
"...Is Ecluna okay?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbKrmzU4QI
"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..."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxhzo5GyFk
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.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcTwDIccR1
"And you better rest too.." Aluise added.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIoOTf2N9I
I nod. "Okay.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgueN2pq3V
I begin to shuffle back into bed, resting my head against the frame.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnQaLh2YYV
"You're heading back to bed?" Jake says, sitting back in a chair.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUEscpJFWj
I nod my head again.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtn1GXeO0N
"You're not even gonna eat first?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPANcHyd0r
"I am...a little hungry..."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZyzPsWhMP
"I think Arelin is making something..said he was waiting for you to wake up."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3m4M8vTNr
"Could you call him here for a minute then?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1OJmjRLag
"... Alright." he gets back up from the chair with a slight limp and leaves. In a few seconds, Arelin was in the doorframe.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wJvKVwPyG
"...I'm sorry if I distracted you.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEcXTk95aC
"It's fine. It's just about done right now."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI9SjPa2pU
"Ah, alright then.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtKqTQaihA
"...Ciaran was asleep behind you earlier, but I'm not sure where he could've went.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWsNzieItn
I pull back the quilt again, where Ciaran was sleeping comfortably underneath.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE1gN9tV3e
"I found him.." I say, pulling him towards me.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4Tud0BrrH
Ciaran wakes up when I do this, but promptly shuffles even closer.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZSTzMiXb8
"This is the calmest I've ever seen him..."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibhZpbv1uS
"...I'll be right back. You must be hungry..."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPonbcYEzH8
"I'm starving! Bring back something really good okay?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni1aOBFSAl
A smirk appears on his face.
"Alright.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnF4yfH0zmB
As soon as he leaves, Ciaran wakes up.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJTH5XgOH1
"You are...awake..."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtCTacR5Un
"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I just needed to rest a bit.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsW5b11pn6
Arelin comes back with a steaming plate.
"It's not much, but it should be enough with some bread.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOUnN32NUc
He places the plate in front of me, before sitting on the bed beside me. I slowly pick up the fork and start eating.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGpQEjXwAq
Afterwards, the sleepiness started to come back. I yawned as my body starts to slide underneath the quilt more and more.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03LJw3rR27
"You're going back to sleep?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdc7FgHdC9
"Mhm...I want to be up bright and early tomorrow."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtqPGlqYOw
Arelin gets up, taking the empty dish from my almost unresponsive hands.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiRiBOQcj6
"I will...check on you in the morning then.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPpYmnTimS
He turns off the lights and shuts the door. I slowly closed my eyes, and I drifted off to sleep.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CPH1nLwF8
The next morning, I felt refreshed. Getting up from bed, I stretch and walk to my mirror.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm60hTU4ISI
A sudden weight almost pulled me off my feet. As I struggled to stand up, I look at the mirror to see...
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhu6KM3Bsp
"Good morning, Araginee..."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVVeilixgH
"Ciaran!"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt99lvbXb28
Ciaran held onto my shoulders and tried his best to hold on to my back while I tried to remove him.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8JA9kp6Mo
"Get off of me! You're too heavy!"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWf5WiVYH4
"You seem to be holding me just fine.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSYMinyPig
I sighed heavily. "I don't want to carry you around!"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSW6u7h5wN
We have a wrestle for a bit. Eventually, I gave into his ways and let him stay there.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7sQYgg06M
"How was your sleep?" he asked.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMU197zVDXx
I stumble to the hallway. "It was fine. You were taking up all the bed space though.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQueBz3wWS
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7XJD4rB2f
"Good morning, Iris." Mom greeted, before giving Ciaran an untrusting, mean glare. "And Ciaran..."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznD8qOXKHq
Ciaran responds. "Good morning to you too.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXfv9yDFBO
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNubA7E0ZLY
"Did you have a nightmare, Uncle Damien?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrI4pRP2wL
Walking over to him, I give him a grin. "If you keep thinking about stressful stuff, you'll never get any sleep.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbmFegcDg5
He responds by tiredly turning around while mumbling and returning to sleep.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCfqcvJVhQ
"That grumpy older brother of mine won't even smile a little for his only niece.."
Mom smirked and shook her head.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk467Oy9voq
"Arelin! Iris!"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHxFbjxldo
Someone comes running into my arms, but quickly, from the long, almost midnight colored hair, I immediately knew who it was.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3c84t0aL8
"Hey, Alena!"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVY9C1N2wQf
"I came as soon as I heard. Are you feeling alright?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL0ePBqKUs
I assure her that I was feeling fine. "Yep! I'm doing really well!"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhzDuzLAaO
"Good!"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0p1Ks1hnTF
Alena then turns her attention to Ciaran, who I was still carrying.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvXGZseW3c
"Huh? Why is he here?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyPThzMj2X
"He decided it was a good idea to ride around with me today..."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8EJf2SzYW
Ciaran only snickered mischievously.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzdPwdlFVu
"I sadly haven't been able to remove him yet.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNonWhNA86
Alena playfully flicks his nose.
"I think he's cute. He's like a little baby."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa08QXznmmo
"You compare me to a child?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo0T1xoafB
"Admit it, you can't go anywhere without Iris."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNAN625XXM
A weight was lifted from my back as Ciaran jumps off to lend Alena a stare.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYhfX9JEdR
"A-Ah! He's quick to anger!"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpprDtU4n5
"Do not belittle me, Alena."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghccYk4ORY
"Hehe, belittle." She punned. Arelin laughs as well.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE0LN1rJdY
"Why you..."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGeaPqqj8C
Before Ciaran could get a hold of her neck, I pull him back. "Alright Ciaran, no need to get all snippy."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsEQZmug2O
He slips back behind me.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlELqYQvWk
"That...girl..."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ338qDX9pnN
"Don't worry, she's just messing with you."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2un2bNk7AO
"...Her presence now pesters me to no end.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFBQCtni5v
I sigh. "You're a lot of work, you know that?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28wQFR5KZ2
He rests his chin on my shoulder.
"Am I?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi5zVnmHrt
"...No, not really. Not anymore."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7luvtRjtN
"Perfect. Then I will never leave your side."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsuLs7SGv2
I immediately regretted the words I said earlier, as I realized he wasn't going to let me go.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL4FZGoFTL
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTLYgB6GMI
I took him to bed, and about to head there myself, when someone knocked on my room window.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCp1F90H7T
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.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxFsZU9PFs
"Hey Iris..."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk8FPexD5c
Ecluna was still wrapped up in the old bandages.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7780dNGF5
"Ecluna?! We've been looking for you! Where have you been?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8phvT1HqGt
"I was only doing what I promised.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2g078zZzc
I lead her to the edge of the bed to sit, and rests her head on my shoulder.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Bw2UUxECm
"I didn't want you to leave. I just wanted my friend back. That's why I pushed as hard as I did."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW74a0FtbpW
"...I understand how destructive I can be under influence of the Eclipse."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBptX80hhs
"As do I with my new Darken forms.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodQpFxFJyj
She sadly chuckled. "...If only I had your mental strength.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfx6qoyEi6q
"...It's getting late. Do you still want to leave?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX6H4yaxpD
Ecluna was weighing her options. After a confusing thought, finally, she came to a conclusion.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrmWWvBW3F
"...I'll have to think about it."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdYfMUUCbn
"Then you can stay here for the night." I threw her a pillow and pointed towards the closet."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy28TmIkrAS
"There's blankets and extra pillows in there. Help yourself to them."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul8CvmEorp
"Thanks again for...forgiving me.."
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdfFDATB1D
"Of course. That's what I'm supposed to do, isn't it?"
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYhMdtgiMm
She slowly pulls a blanket from the closet, making a makeshift bed. I then turned off my bedside lamp and shuffled into bed.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicTBhbMTcF
I wonder what the morning will bring.
345Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWcTXecUZC
