While we began circling one another, Mom set up a barrier to keep the others safe from the after effects of the attacks.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JolWjvHZK
Ecluna, with her Ecliptic energy, makes herself a weapon, before dashing towards me.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FN81oIWD5
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.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Yp5zPVxGy
I glance towards Arelin, Jake and the others. I felt a warm feeling when I saw the turned become more normal.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pGRGwLXyZ
Ecluna suddenly throws herself onto me, landing blow after blow right into my stomach.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaLrPzXpzy
I feel the pain burn within my entire body as her attacks grow stronger.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wLDgeNMfU
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.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBp5ICI341
"Iris, don't tell me you're holding back to make sure your friends are okay..."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYpvGL4kOb
Despite her large decrease in power, Ecluna's grip around my throat was tight.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ocWeW68Q6
"What's the matter? Have you already given up on fighting back?"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUrU9agbRq
"T-That's e-enough.. Ecluna.." Arelin says through clenched teeth.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsASwqDg1TE
"Hmm? Did you say something Arelin?"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmQ3rR0ygF
She floats closer towards him.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtVJu6TDkS
"D-don't...hurt her.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZO9zlhOp2
"...Jeez, I'll need to be quick if I wanna keep you."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVDAkfkikX
Then, she turns back to me.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBiWOD7nLz
"Hopefully I can kill you before he changes back.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpxZwXHioo
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.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fTvIJL8zp
The last sliver of the Eclipse had to be charged up in it's final form.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPXJb6YIkL
"Consider this a final message. If I can't kill you..."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0caEedhPU8
She immediately points the attack towards the others.
"Then I'll just kill them, and kill you from the inside!"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt0m9sPp1B
The attack fired, the maroon beam of Eclipsian magic tearing straight into the area where they were.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEYEiiob7M
Ecluna didn't change her expression, her eyes never moved off of the area until the dust clouds cleared.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEhUU6RfD5
...A familiar, ancient aura became apparent.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4o7yYgnVv
When I looked behind me, I noticed someone was standing next to Mom while she held a pendant in the air.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZekKdIph4
"...Iset. It has been too long..." she says under her breath.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF5iiFAmXC
"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.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxoRIK40Qb
They were safe, luckily, the barrier that shielded them had barely a scratch.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qOgQBLFMR
"Do not fret, Iris. She is weakened enough to where she can be subdued."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkcz7DiXtY
"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.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R3Okwd8cw
A scythe appears in her hand, as she brandishes it towards the bright red sky.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnSs1rjJu3
Slowly, I can feel my own form become more distant. Had my power begun to run out too?
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrF5w5KrtP
I put up my own weapon, but suddenly I dropped it, and shook my head.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg5K0Y3VWW
"Again...your funeral.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvG9nfLDTc
Ecluna dashes straight for my chest, but once again, someone saves me.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnGMOYeCKv
"...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.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnycXrW6Ln
However, that sense of tranquility was short lived, as suddenly Ciaran was shot out of the air with a sudden beam of energy.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapGyYJRn6L
"Of course you try to take my kill away from me, Ciaran!"
Ecluna says angrily.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dsif7gntw
"I cherish her enough to put myself in danger."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vZ0dUp1uw
"...Okay then, one last deal..."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgYXLogfQW
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.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBiHA6E0jP
"I-Iris...you have to stay awake."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6oyHTcPuP
I open my eyes again. "Why?"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYX0DPCWNT
He stops to think for a moment.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FZHeOzzcZ
"I'm n-not sure why but... just stay awake... it's b-better if you stay awake.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQncKntSnOc
I nod. "Alright... I'll try.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ22ACdev1
I listen to the conversation between Ciaran and Ecluna.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftowbUhEp9
"Well, what is this deal of yours?"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjkI7ID8XC
"Easy. Iris' safety in return of you."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeoK5gWshb
"You want to kill me in return for Iris' life? I am usually not very greedy, but I have a lot to live for.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnHQM6Od8J
"No no, I meant..." Ecluna pulls another transforming orb. "I get to keep you."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JDxJm0WD4
"...That is something...interesting.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEyinJPAoI
"So, deal or no deal?"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0Ab23F1yz
Ciaran steps forward and removes his cape.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssBRupwnlM
"I will accept. Only if Arelin and Jake are released from your grasp.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qMzKTulux
"Less fun, but a deal's a deal.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS4xiYkrgv
Ecluna calls on the powers of the eclipse, as Arelin and Jake dropped to the ground, but their appearance had changed back to normal.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq6bPFXs9L
The two orbs used to transform them was brought into one, and Ecluna held it as it flared brilliantly.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9urvUoW4x
"This is where I will say farewell for now."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPioiuNHiV
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..
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaY2WTsqGH
Ciaran stood up, examining himself.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iX575OCXF
"Isn't that a little better?"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWISywoaQwH
"It is...exhilarating."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBVmafkbJl
"Good good. How about we give that power a little test run, shall we?"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJt3Vawyjk
"With pleasure..."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2qg7kTMGR
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...
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGLV5KEFEk
He starts to laugh. His laughing becomes so hysterical, I almost couldn't help but laugh with him. But... what was so funny?
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8usmDZzM7
"Ecluna, Ecluna, Ecluna...you poor soul. It seems you have misunderstood..."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX85VczxSr
He lets me go, turning back into his original form.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66GB0Px5Yf
"I have no bloodline. I made out of the essence of darkness itself. I cannot be Eclipsian by any means.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetLLmSZIwz
"...Well, I guess that's it then..."
She shrugs. "I have no more power to throw at you.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyhqzjb79Z
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.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2UHN6nIpi
"W-what happened?"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNP0It0Pvk
"...Take a look for yourself." Jake says, dusting himself off.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNKngcIyE9
Ecluna looks around. "D-did I do this?! What did I-..."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgthhyotkkc
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.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh1PtRSKHa
I stumbled towards her.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ykDe96lCX
"Iris, stop! D-don't hurt yourself more!"
She cried.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyAsK391gD
"I have to make sure you're okay too.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj5sEB8Cq9
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine-..."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSeQLZAVs1
More blood spills from her mouth. "I'm okay, just...stay where you are.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0LepZFRzA
"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."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuBwKm6Je2
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.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl6aATtxE0
***
I see everyone else staring back at me. I was back at home, snuggled under my quilt on my bed.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7PwNuQjJj
"Hello everyone..." I croak.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYGGu4ZgYv
Everyone lets out a sigh of relief.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPe3DAfzeH
"Thank goodness you're alright." My mom says.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTxMbs00Fm
"...How long has it been?"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL7tTqyKiy
Jake gives my head a pat.
"A good four days. Ms. Ikura patched you up pretty good though..."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISXZu3Qx6G
I jump up, only to be met with discomfort and dizziness. I had to stumble back into a sitting position.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarSnVN5TWm
"...Is Ecluna okay?"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV0J42CGPh
"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..."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvSN9xSuX5
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.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsChLZGfSE
"And you better rest too.." Aluise added.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hwkdWn1zE
I nod. "Okay.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPADvviAz6H
I begin to shuffle back into bed, resting my head against the frame.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcMoKErKJI
"You're heading back to bed?" Jake says, sitting back in a chair.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1l0plUgCJ
I nod my head again.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9gS7oO1Rf
"You're not even gonna eat first?"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOAOmh5ACX
"I am...a little hungry..."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZsibGBINl
"I think Arelin is making something..said he was waiting for you to wake up."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVzSlZe1I1
"Could you call him here for a minute then?"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvS165E5qC
"... Alright." he gets back up from the chair with a slight limp and leaves. In a few seconds, Arelin was in the doorframe.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOdDULg4JU
"...I'm sorry if I distracted you.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAZGRTacKq
"It's fine. It's just about done right now."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xeXWD48NV
"Ah, alright then.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCAhw2FxXg
"...Ciaran was asleep behind you earlier, but I'm not sure where he could've went.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfgCgR5D5j
I pull back the quilt again, where Ciaran was sleeping comfortably underneath.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJanHDbCFaK
"I found him.." I say, pulling him towards me.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ug5QkzlXy
Ciaran wakes up when I do this, but promptly shuffles even closer.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltgVpCtTgW
"This is the calmest I've ever seen him..."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BMkMxT2RU
"...I'll be right back. You must be hungry..."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2Gxte9OHw
"I'm starving! Bring back something really good okay?"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ131g2uXen6
A smirk appears on his face.
"Alright.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP64clZXNa
As soon as he leaves, Ciaran wakes up.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnZXTG85qS
"You are...awake..."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEY9i5c8aI
"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I just needed to rest a bit.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqTiMWoSUS
Arelin comes back with a steaming plate.
"It's not much, but it should be enough with some bread.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qiNMCkVgF
He places the plate in front of me, before sitting on the bed beside me. I slowly pick up the fork and start eating.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgxmHEA5Fr
Afterwards, the sleepiness started to come back. I yawned as my body starts to slide underneath the quilt more and more.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD0ZvGvFas
"You're going back to sleep?"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WXPG1b8P8
"Mhm...I want to be up bright and early tomorrow."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAnD6sNsLM
Arelin gets up, taking the empty dish from my almost unresponsive hands.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj631HR0dIJ
"I will...check on you in the morning then.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1V1Bq6nl8
He turns off the lights and shuts the door. I slowly closed my eyes, and I drifted off to sleep.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEeU94fL6M
The next morning, I felt refreshed. Getting up from bed, I stretch and walk to my mirror.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHft8nddro
A sudden weight almost pulled me off my feet. As I struggled to stand up, I look at the mirror to see...
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFQ68L3Emy
"Good morning, Araginee..."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZFHSQPpSo
"Ciaran!"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2H1lSuQcug
Ciaran held onto my shoulders and tried his best to hold on to my back while I tried to remove him.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt7Y0akoSp
"Get off of me! You're too heavy!"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaTjrSxUep
"You seem to be holding me just fine.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfCneKJXN8
I sighed heavily. "I don't want to carry you around!"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucsDvZhEcu
We have a wrestle for a bit. Eventually, I gave into his ways and let him stay there.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvDkBFdQjV
"How was your sleep?" he asked.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZkkEz6o07
I stumble to the hallway. "It was fine. You were taking up all the bed space though.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb7Idv1Qaj
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.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbuuHZVnj3
"Good morning, Iris." Mom greeted, before giving Ciaran an untrusting, mean glare. "And Ciaran..."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0ePBfUsPe
Ciaran responds. "Good morning to you too.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9Myv11W9u
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.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ3ZMXIP0d
"Did you have a nightmare, Uncle Damien?"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5M4ZjXOW7x
Walking over to him, I give him a grin. "If you keep thinking about stressful stuff, you'll never get any sleep.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifwO0LZI8f
He responds by tiredly turning around while mumbling and returning to sleep.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb78fhRf4V
"That grumpy older brother of mine won't even smile a little for his only niece.."
Mom smirked and shook her head.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBB224H50Y
"Arelin! Iris!"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaPRRNMJxK
Someone comes running into my arms, but quickly, from the long, almost midnight colored hair, I immediately knew who it was.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0jdCE5F2G
"Hey, Alena!"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1uwm2WarW
"I came as soon as I heard. Are you feeling alright?"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPY2WI6P17
I assure her that I was feeling fine. "Yep! I'm doing really well!"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWxRtCJiFu
"Good!"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEzwRnFYOm
Alena then turns her attention to Ciaran, who I was still carrying.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPeofD7OyE
"Huh? Why is he here?"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vnptUcrYN
"He decided it was a good idea to ride around with me today..."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsCzgBa5Ed
Ciaran only snickered mischievously.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVKdPHI4Nl
"I sadly haven't been able to remove him yet.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinGvO0Hxp5
Alena playfully flicks his nose.
"I think he's cute. He's like a little baby."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJaDPYoI1l
"You compare me to a child?"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLucJ1tIQCZ
"Admit it, you can't go anywhere without Iris."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSfvLPdIth
A weight was lifted from my back as Ciaran jumps off to lend Alena a stare.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVcrdaKRQa
"A-Ah! He's quick to anger!"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMYBn4Kshk
"Do not belittle me, Alena."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jjvB2Y4Pz
"Hehe, belittle." She punned. Arelin laughs as well.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3I8hLCqbb
"Why you..."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmAorAfhfw
Before Ciaran could get a hold of her neck, I pull him back. "Alright Ciaran, no need to get all snippy."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgv5kxA2AH
He slips back behind me.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3lqce3BI5
"That...girl..."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX52HDM0LnU
"Don't worry, she's just messing with you."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6V19ZoGyw
"...Her presence now pesters me to no end.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyMqSubejB
I sigh. "You're a lot of work, you know that?"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdpmsjEQIc
He rests his chin on my shoulder.
"Am I?"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbugWxMd6Pt
"...No, not really. Not anymore."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxBSaYYOy3
"Perfect. Then I will never leave your side."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkpkcDBPJw
I immediately regretted the words I said earlier, as I realized he wasn't going to let me go.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrEuxDO3aB
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.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZRYKpXvHT
I took him to bed, and about to head there myself, when someone knocked on my room window.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pjxgg3i90
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.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmr1GJYIXJ
"Hey Iris..."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJTLBrxChc
Ecluna was still wrapped up in the old bandages.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5zp8uyFni
"Ecluna?! We've been looking for you! Where have you been?"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgSY8Dkqp7
"I was only doing what I promised.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmyKKpkXRu
I lead her to the edge of the bed to sit, and rests her head on my shoulder.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kYFxP5NSX
"I didn't want you to leave. I just wanted my friend back. That's why I pushed as hard as I did."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SqKSuHzco
"...I understand how destructive I can be under influence of the Eclipse."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlapod74hn
"As do I with my new Darken forms.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKrxSTS9xB
She sadly chuckled. "...If only I had your mental strength.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOfw4Q2ilQ
"...It's getting late. Do you still want to leave?"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6Y43vcKZ6
Ecluna was weighing her options. After a confusing thought, finally, she came to a conclusion.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzB6u6HZDb
"...I'll have to think about it."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IOnKREGtN
"Then you can stay here for the night." I threw her a pillow and pointed towards the closet."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfipH7vep5e
"There's blankets and extra pillows in there. Help yourself to them."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPwbAfMulo
"Thanks again for...forgiving me.."
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIcKRjh8GS
"Of course. That's what I'm supposed to do, isn't it?"
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuQfynYjBn
She slowly pulls a blanket from the closet, making a makeshift bed. I then turned off my bedside lamp and shuffled into bed.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaTXwwV15n
I wonder what the morning will bring.
324Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7N03Chuqx
