While we began circling one another, Mom set up a barrier to keep the others safe from the after effects of the attacks.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb5EBIYbzS
Ecluna, with her Ecliptic energy, makes herself a weapon, before dashing towards me.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT9DepjCje
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.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMNsm2x5RJ
I glance towards Arelin, Jake and the others. I felt a warm feeling when I saw the turned become more normal.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa9Px5XlJO
Ecluna suddenly throws herself onto me, landing blow after blow right into my stomach.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyrCUKjndC
I feel the pain burn within my entire body as her attacks grow stronger.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OYxIimGfq
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.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fS7JtXY4X
"Iris, don't tell me you're holding back to make sure your friends are okay..."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNnSjd3oLK
Despite her large decrease in power, Ecluna's grip around my throat was tight.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY4PnKNmKw
"What's the matter? Have you already given up on fighting back?"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXR0RUENFD
"T-That's e-enough.. Ecluna.." Arelin says through clenched teeth.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtfhKVS6M9
"Hmm? Did you say something Arelin?"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD37aY3uY2
She floats closer towards him.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tywdpx86F
"D-don't...hurt her.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Qzy3gCxvr
"...Jeez, I'll need to be quick if I wanna keep you."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZxNc2eluX
Then, she turns back to me.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1eItVgi1J
"Hopefully I can kill you before he changes back.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17ufihilSU
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.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP2CUgyJlS
The last sliver of the Eclipse had to be charged up in it's final form.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZY2KL9ZywH
"Consider this a final message. If I can't kill you..."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e41wKTeWH
She immediately points the attack towards the others.
"Then I'll just kill them, and kill you from the inside!"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIZL5IG8jB
The attack fired, the maroon beam of Eclipsian magic tearing straight into the area where they were.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR7fiWKU4G
Ecluna didn't change her expression, her eyes never moved off of the area until the dust clouds cleared.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTtrzD9Mye
...A familiar, ancient aura became apparent.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwhMMq1yL6
When I looked behind me, I noticed someone was standing next to Mom while she held a pendant in the air.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAn7uJwznR
"...Iset. It has been too long..." she says under her breath.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7pZl635uG
"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.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedinv1Cydt
They were safe, luckily, the barrier that shielded them had barely a scratch.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRuoZQoGyM
"Do not fret, Iris. She is weakened enough to where she can be subdued."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKbZ6iGg0M
"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.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfrKQbNuM7
A scythe appears in her hand, as she brandishes it towards the bright red sky.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVwQFRWOm9
Slowly, I can feel my own form become more distant. Had my power begun to run out too?
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi8XzqbB1O
I put up my own weapon, but suddenly I dropped it, and shook my head.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpA6imPFKg
"Again...your funeral.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BT4ozOpHQ
Ecluna dashes straight for my chest, but once again, someone saves me.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGra1Hwpapi
"...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.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkACkwJnq5o
However, that sense of tranquility was short lived, as suddenly Ciaran was shot out of the air with a sudden beam of energy.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49DtTK8PG4
"Of course you try to take my kill away from me, Ciaran!"
Ecluna says angrily.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMg07Pr4kL
"I cherish her enough to put myself in danger."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMVrPhYLxG
"...Okay then, one last deal..."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qzh1MUIu8
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.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc1WOygkAm
"I-Iris...you have to stay awake."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7Ed6LUz9k
I open my eyes again. "Why?"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW39479izXr
He stops to think for a moment.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt58SmQOKqm
"I'm n-not sure why but... just stay awake... it's b-better if you stay awake.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n8gb0qPST
I nod. "Alright... I'll try.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFnKNs2Xgo
I listen to the conversation between Ciaran and Ecluna.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmzK5PoAWw
"Well, what is this deal of yours?"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT5KMBVH18
"Easy. Iris' safety in return of you."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKSGxcbH9L
"You want to kill me in return for Iris' life? I am usually not very greedy, but I have a lot to live for.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFtDp52VDS
"No no, I meant..." Ecluna pulls another transforming orb. "I get to keep you."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5QyQR4xKo
"...That is something...interesting.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqqC3DHiDi
"So, deal or no deal?"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkRA1xi5OI
Ciaran steps forward and removes his cape.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq1nXgmkCy
"I will accept. Only if Arelin and Jake are released from your grasp.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ed4MJFyy6
"Less fun, but a deal's a deal.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHy8FKgyhA
Ecluna calls on the powers of the eclipse, as Arelin and Jake dropped to the ground, but their appearance had changed back to normal.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CrikpyAj9
The two orbs used to transform them was brought into one, and Ecluna held it as it flared brilliantly.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebSpYnQvKY
"This is where I will say farewell for now."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtjulnDQVD
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..
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbDtCNKFMz
Ciaran stood up, examining himself.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HW5i0vYa4
"Isn't that a little better?"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio8AcwkZyY
"It is...exhilarating."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8xcuj14qQ
"Good good. How about we give that power a little test run, shall we?"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFgsZZmEPA
"With pleasure..."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AdztrWm4e
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...
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqF8O8TT07
He starts to laugh. His laughing becomes so hysterical, I almost couldn't help but laugh with him. But... what was so funny?
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Vi6BTiu5B
"Ecluna, Ecluna, Ecluna...you poor soul. It seems you have misunderstood..."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcFbnLRhZ2
He lets me go, turning back into his original form.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQSqLVyKbi
"I have no bloodline. I made out of the essence of darkness itself. I cannot be Eclipsian by any means.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDctLniMJa
"...Well, I guess that's it then..."
She shrugs. "I have no more power to throw at you.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz2XSTprAL
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.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5590a8U0Zh
"W-what happened?"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJvjdwpzUq
"...Take a look for yourself." Jake says, dusting himself off.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetXVH1WGem
Ecluna looks around. "D-did I do this?! What did I-..."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtsDsEWS44
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.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVTZp5L5Ul
I stumbled towards her.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoZNx7iWNx
"Iris, stop! D-don't hurt yourself more!"
She cried.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0sqXNBBXr
"I have to make sure you're okay too.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO3YxBEnik
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine-..."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYhXNKCnBN
More blood spills from her mouth. "I'm okay, just...stay where you are.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I8xUfVhzs
"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."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXfIrCnKCP
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.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWGLTenhtz
***
I see everyone else staring back at me. I was back at home, snuggled under my quilt on my bed.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHPPRJUFlV
"Hello everyone..." I croak.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt0TuoOZQE
Everyone lets out a sigh of relief.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo3Mz9RPqB
"Thank goodness you're alright." My mom says.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk262QxeTd
"...How long has it been?"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RuFubqYfk
Jake gives my head a pat.
"A good four days. Ms. Ikura patched you up pretty good though..."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaE1HucBwO
I jump up, only to be met with discomfort and dizziness. I had to stumble back into a sitting position.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtc3R4nTXqE
"...Is Ecluna okay?"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7AFtFTuH5
"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..."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQB397Z0ns
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.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgVVjqUwyt
"And you better rest too.." Aluise added.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGRupvo9xG
I nod. "Okay.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhPLnAnxWL
I begin to shuffle back into bed, resting my head against the frame.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡko237HY6Zx
"You're heading back to bed?" Jake says, sitting back in a chair.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6Huroqufk
I nod my head again.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGysWWf3nN
"You're not even gonna eat first?"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmC5Rt2sft
"I am...a little hungry..."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qaWw20MfZ
"I think Arelin is making something..said he was waiting for you to wake up."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwrcFINS69
"Could you call him here for a minute then?"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ObJdydMB0
"... Alright." he gets back up from the chair with a slight limp and leaves. In a few seconds, Arelin was in the doorframe.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB80DAfaYNr
"...I'm sorry if I distracted you.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsymxOGV9K
"It's fine. It's just about done right now."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInOddQOdbL
"Ah, alright then.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzEzyFZIbM
"...Ciaran was asleep behind you earlier, but I'm not sure where he could've went.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaptUshE5L
I pull back the quilt again, where Ciaran was sleeping comfortably underneath.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgKcy8REsG
"I found him.." I say, pulling him towards me.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsf7WGBp0z
Ciaran wakes up when I do this, but promptly shuffles even closer.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaI927Zck4
"This is the calmest I've ever seen him..."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScJQ4Cd5Dt
"...I'll be right back. You must be hungry..."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vNxKmWQGf
"I'm starving! Bring back something really good okay?"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EnFf5YL56
A smirk appears on his face.
"Alright.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgv8oKmOmB
As soon as he leaves, Ciaran wakes up.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNJIxbHvAy
"You are...awake..."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM54ASxL0s
"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I just needed to rest a bit.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqcQI2qBsM
Arelin comes back with a steaming plate.
"It's not much, but it should be enough with some bread.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB1FLDXU7s
He places the plate in front of me, before sitting on the bed beside me. I slowly pick up the fork and start eating.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoVmRhE514
Afterwards, the sleepiness started to come back. I yawned as my body starts to slide underneath the quilt more and more.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WzYEjnD1f
"You're going back to sleep?"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMUwlbSs92
"Mhm...I want to be up bright and early tomorrow."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfLyiFwW4l
Arelin gets up, taking the empty dish from my almost unresponsive hands.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu8GfNAZQV
"I will...check on you in the morning then.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW891lX4DQ
He turns off the lights and shuts the door. I slowly closed my eyes, and I drifted off to sleep.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNdXiBk4Db
The next morning, I felt refreshed. Getting up from bed, I stretch and walk to my mirror.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZCudoRSRm
A sudden weight almost pulled me off my feet. As I struggled to stand up, I look at the mirror to see...
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkP2xWIG3i
"Good morning, Araginee..."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Whu88rCQY
"Ciaran!"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZuFwmhYQ0
Ciaran held onto my shoulders and tried his best to hold on to my back while I tried to remove him.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhN6f0TkZX
"Get off of me! You're too heavy!"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAhrwxYH9O
"You seem to be holding me just fine.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXsOr6Xx40
I sighed heavily. "I don't want to carry you around!"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUhqXPssfH
We have a wrestle for a bit. Eventually, I gave into his ways and let him stay there.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz6LU1jH3x
"How was your sleep?" he asked.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcbZpSVImU
I stumble to the hallway. "It was fine. You were taking up all the bed space though.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngU0ethzBd
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.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3GYReemCg
"Good morning, Iris." Mom greeted, before giving Ciaran an untrusting, mean glare. "And Ciaran..."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gA4gRviMu
Ciaran responds. "Good morning to you too.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv73fGEwxX
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.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf4fAOXzX5
"Did you have a nightmare, Uncle Damien?"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75Lb8vketJ
Walking over to him, I give him a grin. "If you keep thinking about stressful stuff, you'll never get any sleep.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBY3fpm0Ch
He responds by tiredly turning around while mumbling and returning to sleep.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl95wwzHpO
"That grumpy older brother of mine won't even smile a little for his only niece.."
Mom smirked and shook her head.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn1abk5Mjq
"Arelin! Iris!"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3Ozs6lXJA
Someone comes running into my arms, but quickly, from the long, almost midnight colored hair, I immediately knew who it was.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cYymHYjlc
"Hey, Alena!"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHvB2XGCfp
"I came as soon as I heard. Are you feeling alright?"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk5lCctWm7
I assure her that I was feeling fine. "Yep! I'm doing really well!"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2FeAovCrv
"Good!"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygE8r9afVo
Alena then turns her attention to Ciaran, who I was still carrying.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLNz54oeGk
"Huh? Why is he here?"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccIUaOkZJE
"He decided it was a good idea to ride around with me today..."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpQWScTaOz
Ciaran only snickered mischievously.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKKae9ltIQ
"I sadly haven't been able to remove him yet.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLHQCGbY4E
Alena playfully flicks his nose.
"I think he's cute. He's like a little baby."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz6wWf46a9
"You compare me to a child?"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SjQbWP2vn
"Admit it, you can't go anywhere without Iris."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDKBycy3x9
A weight was lifted from my back as Ciaran jumps off to lend Alena a stare.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29NZG74SRY
"A-Ah! He's quick to anger!"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2t9zpegKk
"Do not belittle me, Alena."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyatZFgxF7d
"Hehe, belittle." She punned. Arelin laughs as well.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmRFPN4Txz
"Why you..."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzda2Ecw0H
Before Ciaran could get a hold of her neck, I pull him back. "Alright Ciaran, no need to get all snippy."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgVzbrTO69
He slips back behind me.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0tYiWtzUB
"That...girl..."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYJIgFRDvN
"Don't worry, she's just messing with you."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTODKyEsCiF
"...Her presence now pesters me to no end.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XUYviCQxB
I sigh. "You're a lot of work, you know that?"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JyO7UYtrA
He rests his chin on my shoulder.
"Am I?"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxThRZRhl7v
"...No, not really. Not anymore."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xtUO6J66b
"Perfect. Then I will never leave your side."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrkbZKWbth
I immediately regretted the words I said earlier, as I realized he wasn't going to let me go.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3vCcuCRQb
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.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI2uuxktM1
I took him to bed, and about to head there myself, when someone knocked on my room window.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsaKKBXz5r
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.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdHSoouXFd
"Hey Iris..."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn346QlfLhX
Ecluna was still wrapped up in the old bandages.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnb3eGylYj
"Ecluna?! We've been looking for you! Where have you been?"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR9QbrZHeX
"I was only doing what I promised.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcT98goD97B
I lead her to the edge of the bed to sit, and rests her head on my shoulder.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8qKeEZj9G
"I didn't want you to leave. I just wanted my friend back. That's why I pushed as hard as I did."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRUupnyUhm
"...I understand how destructive I can be under influence of the Eclipse."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPCuh1zKPy
"As do I with my new Darken forms.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBEGxPvsP5
She sadly chuckled. "...If only I had your mental strength.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVb7DbjR5MF
"...It's getting late. Do you still want to leave?"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNQqGV2F2i
Ecluna was weighing her options. After a confusing thought, finally, she came to a conclusion.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rp4hB3vTj
"...I'll have to think about it."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmkHldPbjN
"Then you can stay here for the night." I threw her a pillow and pointed towards the closet."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZkptGvvur
"There's blankets and extra pillows in there. Help yourself to them."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrTHHTt81j
"Thanks again for...forgiving me.."
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2F9uQDCys
"Of course. That's what I'm supposed to do, isn't it?"
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMwFapHTBM
She slowly pulls a blanket from the closet, making a makeshift bed. I then turned off my bedside lamp and shuffled into bed.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPJo98GLW0
I wonder what the morning will bring.
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbp4GO5fVB
622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiuIVMcXjl
and then Add to home screen.
