While we began circling one another, Mom set up a barrier to keep the others safe from the after effects of the attacks.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbDANBWSou
Ecluna, with her Ecliptic energy, makes herself a weapon, before dashing towards me.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5pRBs0Y4M
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0uwIRkSBP
I glance towards Arelin, Jake and the others. I felt a warm feeling when I saw the turned become more normal.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJHirjLqW4
Ecluna suddenly throws herself onto me, landing blow after blow right into my stomach.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD9VHPgjTK
I feel the pain burn within my entire body as her attacks grow stronger.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRNWYecjK8
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSAImWyDEO
"Iris, don't tell me you're holding back to make sure your friends are okay..."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe89KQyb62E
Despite her large decrease in power, Ecluna's grip around my throat was tight.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq33ljNyW4
"What's the matter? Have you already given up on fighting back?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QMQNTAlcR
"T-That's e-enough.. Ecluna.." Arelin says through clenched teeth.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nfeAsPxps
"Hmm? Did you say something Arelin?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKNsHW9EzI
She floats closer towards him.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡela81xffjE
"D-don't...hurt her.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p8WHx8oBN
"...Jeez, I'll need to be quick if I wanna keep you."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfd9OyoQFs
Then, she turns back to me.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI8fKDAY6n
"Hopefully I can kill you before he changes back.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFZmSF2MgY
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsHvcpLsSc
The last sliver of the Eclipse had to be charged up in it's final form.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHrjyjKFzZ
"Consider this a final message. If I can't kill you..."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSz0JYCQCi
She immediately points the attack towards the others.
"Then I'll just kill them, and kill you from the inside!"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXVb4g3cp1
The attack fired, the maroon beam of Eclipsian magic tearing straight into the area where they were.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHHM2aO57k
Ecluna didn't change her expression, her eyes never moved off of the area until the dust clouds cleared.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWTs6o0bKQ
...A familiar, ancient aura became apparent.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuddAjb35Dl
When I looked behind me, I noticed someone was standing next to Mom while she held a pendant in the air.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4KhoP3hVu
"...Iset. It has been too long..." she says under her breath.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qp5uSIsfb
"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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSqGGxjsl9
They were safe, luckily, the barrier that shielded them had barely a scratch.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJKzPsI0Sm
"Do not fret, Iris. She is weakened enough to where she can be subdued."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvqfQL653u
"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.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEBB3Akx8H
A scythe appears in her hand, as she brandishes it towards the bright red sky.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlNOY0pglW
Slowly, I can feel my own form become more distant. Had my power begun to run out too?
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIYMeRARhH
I put up my own weapon, but suddenly I dropped it, and shook my head.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWysHyzaQgm
"Again...your funeral.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxREP31Nkkl
Ecluna dashes straight for my chest, but once again, someone saves me.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc8JWnHcrD
"...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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR72YQsrOUA
However, that sense of tranquility was short lived, as suddenly Ciaran was shot out of the air with a sudden beam of energy.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPQ3WDQuvK
"Of course you try to take my kill away from me, Ciaran!"
Ecluna says angrily.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydKEj5MaLc
"I cherish her enough to put myself in danger."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq3bz9IG4R
"...Okay then, one last deal..."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WmXiBoW0N
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa5pLlnX2o
"I-Iris...you have to stay awake."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyxCCy64EZ
I open my eyes again. "Why?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiYiCSLEOP
He stops to think for a moment.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5TtII8Drg
"I'm n-not sure why but... just stay awake... it's b-better if you stay awake.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEfnEikokB
I nod. "Alright... I'll try.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6eEKREvIU
I listen to the conversation between Ciaran and Ecluna.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30jMqqpJNr
"Well, what is this deal of yours?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb74aOlvV1
"Easy. Iris' safety in return of you."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCPln93teZ
"You want to kill me in return for Iris' life? I am usually not very greedy, but I have a lot to live for.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrDIgV3iaE
"No no, I meant..." Ecluna pulls another transforming orb. "I get to keep you."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeebgZZpqzB
"...That is something...interesting.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaX7cAwue9u
"So, deal or no deal?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH93sTXehcV
Ciaran steps forward and removes his cape.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVkJBLbeNM
"I will accept. Only if Arelin and Jake are released from your grasp.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUTfnTs7sx
"Less fun, but a deal's a deal.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXe7jRVIwS
Ecluna calls on the powers of the eclipse, as Arelin and Jake dropped to the ground, but their appearance had changed back to normal.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9ITf4bmxV
The two orbs used to transform them was brought into one, and Ecluna held it as it flared brilliantly.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAEuGUH1zp
"This is where I will say farewell for now."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1SvvGkqI8
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..
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wUhoJd7Ju
Ciaran stood up, examining himself.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05UMEfJGBb
"Isn't that a little better?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZTstMjre8
"It is...exhilarating."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnC1CZsUhS
"Good good. How about we give that power a little test run, shall we?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkDMDA8Rwp
"With pleasure..."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbflRoC4HYm
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...
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dGqqa0BCg
He starts to laugh. His laughing becomes so hysterical, I almost couldn't help but laugh with him. But... what was so funny?
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xTixQkWNz
"Ecluna, Ecluna, Ecluna...you poor soul. It seems you have misunderstood..."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv9KvGkH8S
He lets me go, turning back into his original form.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xp0k3OIkH
"I have no bloodline. I made out of the essence of darkness itself. I cannot be Eclipsian by any means.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOLZoUjLs2
"...Well, I guess that's it then..."
She shrugs. "I have no more power to throw at you.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDFZ2rHSgC
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOcD7RY4z2
"W-what happened?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga1nO4Ag1m
"...Take a look for yourself." Jake says, dusting himself off.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkdCGhyma5
Ecluna looks around. "D-did I do this?! What did I-..."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqLMicqe1b
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8UVD6EjPN
I stumbled towards her.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s0oU07PIv
"Iris, stop! D-don't hurt yourself more!"
She cried.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9gOcxD8Tl
"I have to make sure you're okay too.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKN1Cl67ckT
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine-..."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1YhmP1EcN
More blood spills from her mouth. "I'm okay, just...stay where you are.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BrGFNveT7
"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."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nTPF0PXpb
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLwlTvJr9B
***
I see everyone else staring back at me. I was back at home, snuggled under my quilt on my bed.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YN98Wfsda
"Hello everyone..." I croak.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIjClqmC9K
Everyone lets out a sigh of relief.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvShDcQQZ69
"Thank goodness you're alright." My mom says.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyylLrJOzz
"...How long has it been?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSR484PoSML
Jake gives my head a pat.
"A good four days. Ms. Ikura patched you up pretty good though..."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZj4gi0TfA
I jump up, only to be met with discomfort and dizziness. I had to stumble back into a sitting position.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrnvgt9c64
"...Is Ecluna okay?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctRmLUq3rq
"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..."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nrjHxOKNp
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.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeqTixzHZz
"And you better rest too.." Aluise added.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehag4OflD9
I nod. "Okay.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y24o4SY12
I begin to shuffle back into bed, resting my head against the frame.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPax9ufhrW
"You're heading back to bed?" Jake says, sitting back in a chair.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgGPYU8ScJ
I nod my head again.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zjfeDintZ
"You're not even gonna eat first?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWRC8omO8u
"I am...a little hungry..."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwx3roS4TuQ
"I think Arelin is making something..said he was waiting for you to wake up."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Vo76jPsik
"Could you call him here for a minute then?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbf1eG38Ht2
"... Alright." he gets back up from the chair with a slight limp and leaves. In a few seconds, Arelin was in the doorframe.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGThX6TKXl
"...I'm sorry if I distracted you.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcnZLcTXnx
"It's fine. It's just about done right now."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR95VYiRrm9
"Ah, alright then.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gsd7TaMLO
"...Ciaran was asleep behind you earlier, but I'm not sure where he could've went.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx5DEOURrI
I pull back the quilt again, where Ciaran was sleeping comfortably underneath.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQms6uPt7r8
"I found him.." I say, pulling him towards me.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5MCFIxjtP
Ciaran wakes up when I do this, but promptly shuffles even closer.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgFNqUpF5D
"This is the calmest I've ever seen him..."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6QRQOUa55
"...I'll be right back. You must be hungry..."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu5k3ig0Og
"I'm starving! Bring back something really good okay?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusnfPXaJ8R
A smirk appears on his face.
"Alright.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1GP9C1Iqh
As soon as he leaves, Ciaran wakes up.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6yL4l95Hg
"You are...awake..."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE2vsdWi5A
"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I just needed to rest a bit.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgaIPVM2Uf
Arelin comes back with a steaming plate.
"It's not much, but it should be enough with some bread.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhiXUP0y8Z
He places the plate in front of me, before sitting on the bed beside me. I slowly pick up the fork and start eating.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCT4MP2eoA
Afterwards, the sleepiness started to come back. I yawned as my body starts to slide underneath the quilt more and more.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtix1TDj8qs
"You're going back to sleep?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVMKzIsFqi
"Mhm...I want to be up bright and early tomorrow."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOcFph2T6d
Arelin gets up, taking the empty dish from my almost unresponsive hands.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY3qJi2JFV
"I will...check on you in the morning then.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgJmBEeIUb
He turns off the lights and shuts the door. I slowly closed my eyes, and I drifted off to sleep.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfngNcOwK9v
The next morning, I felt refreshed. Getting up from bed, I stretch and walk to my mirror.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW78tL1Bnjb
A sudden weight almost pulled me off my feet. As I struggled to stand up, I look at the mirror to see...
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9m0ntqVOJ
"Good morning, Araginee..."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJShLh2M0mP
"Ciaran!"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HMrCvmKqN
Ciaran held onto my shoulders and tried his best to hold on to my back while I tried to remove him.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5az5cTtZ9Q
"Get off of me! You're too heavy!"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7faSt2wNqK
"You seem to be holding me just fine.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2ZLVXwZ29
I sighed heavily. "I don't want to carry you around!"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm85009w9x
We have a wrestle for a bit. Eventually, I gave into his ways and let him stay there.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkqWhLOfIC
"How was your sleep?" he asked.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YkkygcCKz
I stumble to the hallway. "It was fine. You were taking up all the bed space though.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49SIUr6iR9
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnFUE40wUV
"Good morning, Iris." Mom greeted, before giving Ciaran an untrusting, mean glare. "And Ciaran..."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtqPeLixcd
Ciaran responds. "Good morning to you too.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu76P7ZGeSI
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiz5EYk7Bk
"Did you have a nightmare, Uncle Damien?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iCnStsZqI
Walking over to him, I give him a grin. "If you keep thinking about stressful stuff, you'll never get any sleep.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9SSkHyYoM
He responds by tiredly turning around while mumbling and returning to sleep.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOnsQonQxk
"That grumpy older brother of mine won't even smile a little for his only niece.."
Mom smirked and shook her head.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQmPtIPgx9
"Arelin! Iris!"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFJt5ehZfq
Someone comes running into my arms, but quickly, from the long, almost midnight colored hair, I immediately knew who it was.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHv5FcJwK9
"Hey, Alena!"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JkiKpHbnv
"I came as soon as I heard. Are you feeling alright?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oUBIJ6Oka
I assure her that I was feeling fine. "Yep! I'm doing really well!"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLmNfPt1kx
"Good!"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOpnJJlxUJ
Alena then turns her attention to Ciaran, who I was still carrying.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYozvGQxN3
"Huh? Why is he here?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutxTbHZQQl
"He decided it was a good idea to ride around with me today..."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcugEsQgztV
Ciaran only snickered mischievously.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlDXXlNNEW
"I sadly haven't been able to remove him yet.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFfe38SCdg
Alena playfully flicks his nose.
"I think he's cute. He's like a little baby."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFBJxF00bO
"You compare me to a child?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIdfOIR0IF
"Admit it, you can't go anywhere without Iris."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlDGCYe8mI
A weight was lifted from my back as Ciaran jumps off to lend Alena a stare.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7UFcpwqOn
"A-Ah! He's quick to anger!"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYRLCvr5sh
"Do not belittle me, Alena."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9URJuHToVg
"Hehe, belittle." She punned. Arelin laughs as well.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT2XbHYMQt
"Why you..."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5FqcwC6kw
Before Ciaran could get a hold of her neck, I pull him back. "Alright Ciaran, no need to get all snippy."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZhoffxRlP
He slips back behind me.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT89pYDI4D
"That...girl..."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu1Jwpg2pQ
"Don't worry, she's just messing with you."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpdnU9Au4z
"...Her presence now pesters me to no end.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdZcfeEGPv
I sigh. "You're a lot of work, you know that?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVcjzhFkgW
He rests his chin on my shoulder.
"Am I?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI5P9RPfHR
"...No, not really. Not anymore."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL2jNTiBvN
"Perfect. Then I will never leave your side."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbccFQM3Xn
I immediately regretted the words I said earlier, as I realized he wasn't going to let me go.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5o2exOS3i
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpDghe5den
I took him to bed, and about to head there myself, when someone knocked on my room window.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFlLeEPhSR
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.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIvEyhnhFY
"Hey Iris..."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUztXOsxzz
Ecluna was still wrapped up in the old bandages.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIttVxL3DIa
"Ecluna?! We've been looking for you! Where have you been?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8ePTrGmGl
"I was only doing what I promised.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkXXpdZSFd
I lead her to the edge of the bed to sit, and rests her head on my shoulder.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9RCSV0wUk
"I didn't want you to leave. I just wanted my friend back. That's why I pushed as hard as I did."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEFpQHGEv8
"...I understand how destructive I can be under influence of the Eclipse."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv1bNJ36w1
"As do I with my new Darken forms.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGTUyriazT
She sadly chuckled. "...If only I had your mental strength.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqShm6FsUb
"...It's getting late. Do you still want to leave?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX91z77AvY
Ecluna was weighing her options. After a confusing thought, finally, she came to a conclusion.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EDDdcgnNX
"...I'll have to think about it."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBpps2HFXi
"Then you can stay here for the night." I threw her a pillow and pointed towards the closet."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN975Fyq2K
"There's blankets and extra pillows in there. Help yourself to them."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMItYWhrsWa
"Thanks again for...forgiving me.."
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOCuXz463X
"Of course. That's what I'm supposed to do, isn't it?"
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPL5pHqeQt
She slowly pulls a blanket from the closet, making a makeshift bed. I then turned off my bedside lamp and shuffled into bed.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwo1TOlIgCi
I wonder what the morning will bring.
445Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAA54Vi014
