"Rise and shine, Prodigies!" Verna's peppy voice awoken the group. "Let's get ready for the coronation of Father Time today!"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGUmIqW8Nx
Catherine scratches her neck as she pushes the quilt off. "Coronation?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GRfkEoMn0
"Apparently, a new Father Time is to be crowned today." Nathaniel states, stretching.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOYyPsiGgl
"Your mission today is to just watch over the new guy before the celebration begins. Pretty easy, right?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ChCra2E1Q
"Wait...our job today is to be a goddamn babysitter?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJNTohP3fl
"If that's how you view it, yes. But as a reward, you get to go to the after-party!"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6r2hF3K0G
"That at least solves dinner..." Ezra thinks aloud.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmFLqwAUxk
"Breakfast will be served once you get there, so just put on your clothes and shoes and...look a little presentable.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAtKnRLy6b
"No prob.." Arsenio says. "Let me just get my morning tea before I go.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9teUnKUngY
"T-Tea?" Isabelle asks while brushing her hair.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eVQ97XnWM
"There's no time to go time traveling now." Nathaniel interrupted, pulling his shoes on his feet. "We have to be there as soon as possible. Thou leaving would only cause delay."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgEzD1KwQV
"...Alright then..." Arsenio says, slowly sitting down and sliding his hands in his coat pockets. "I'll just wait until later then.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIp32NHswt
"Is everyone ready?" Verna asks, peeking into the room as she does so.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44NLbPIhFx
"I think so.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQegKqjU4c
"Good, good!" she fully opens the doors to let the Prodigies out. "Then, let's go, shall we?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlfJM4hSMJ
The four leave the Sanctuary, following behind Verna. A crowd of other Prodigies and Timekeepers exploded into cheers and claps, not for them, but for the soon-to-be Father Time. The five come out to take a look.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEwrGWmD2x
"See him?" Verna points towards a young man dressed in golden silk. "That's in z was Chrono, the so-called 'Golden Child' of the Time Realm."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7jPGgYBgk
"...Is it because he's blonde?" Catherine remarked.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ203cHlJWiQ
"... That might have had a influence on the nickname, yes."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiwckXz9CJ
They watched as walked stone faced across to the home of Father Time.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCmwQHNx3L
"Let's go." Verna says, instructing them to follow Chrono.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5ef2K3Mw1
When they finally get to the house of Father Time, opened the door and walked in, they were amazed by the interior of it. They could feel the whimsical breeze of it's godly aura.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1lxuYwRXy
"Hello?" Catherine waited for a response.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fPkUu2TrL
"J-Just a minute!" A voice called out before crashing and falling is heard. Then, from the stairs emerged Chrono.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgWOYoPsSt
"Verna, very nice to see you again. And these four might be?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5ZJM9ceNU
"This is Nathaniel, Catherine, Isabelle and Arsenio. They're the new Prodigies that are here to keep you company while we prepare for the ceremony."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYy7YfoYAI
"I see..."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhs1Jw0RjXX
"Thanks again for doing this, guys."
Verna time warps away.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL40KxcqJp
"...Which one of you is which? I just don't want to be confused.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWD0rQuZTG
They introduce themselves once again, giving him some clarity.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVyg7Bfe5i
"Ah, well it's nice to meet all of you."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W6daTIvbJ
"Verna t-told us that w-we would have s-some breakfast.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAEr8wl5MA
"Of course. You've come here quite early, so I'm sure you four are starving."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6KNXnxwug
"Yeah..." Catherine agreed, lightly holding her stomach.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCzAHM9Psn
"I thought so. I've prepared something, so don't worry."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfPmjw8CZe
Chrono brandishes a golden door, which he promptly throws open and reveals some nice breakfast meals, already plated and ready to eat.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCXvMdulNV
"You m-made all of this yourself?!" Catherine exclaimed, impressed.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfkDZt3hMJ
"I was just planning on making food for myself, but I didn't want to be rude.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2vY125e8h
"It does look rather...delectable..." Nathaniel says, clearing his throat.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPlmDruvOK
"Well, shall we eat or watch it get cold?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WnZbfcCcZ
The four Prodigies and the Son of Time all sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast, basically wolfing down the entire plate before them.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqECCTJiCf2
"Man, that was good..." Arsenio says, stretching in his seat.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWB9K3mPSs
"I'm glad you enjoyed. It's very difficult to find people who enjoy similar interests to me."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCMwEKDaWw
"Now what? Do you just read books and whatnot?" Catherine asked, taking the last sip of her drink.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P7OuELJMo
"I'm afraid so...I yearn to join you Prodigies on adventures. They sound full of excitement, far more exciting than being the future ruler of the Time Realm.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX53Rx68cu
"Then why not join us? From what we've experienced, we certainly need the help." Arsenio asks, leaned back in his chair.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEQOUqMup9
"I was never suited for things like that, unfortunately..." Chrono sighs. "My Gift is also a little...hard to control."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRW8zvUnJ2
"...Can we see it?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEo2p3suYc
Chrono begins to rub his arms as guilt and embarrassment threw itself on his face.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwyR7SC19E
"You can say no, you know..." Catherine speaks. "No one's forcing you."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStpbauhRZ9
"It's...complicated."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZWQrzBYaU
"That's u-understandable...I have a Gift I can't quite c-control myself..."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzauqRudHw
Dawlly immediately pops itself out of Isabelle's pocket with an annoyed look.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgRMThWFK2
"I-It's true..." she looks at Dawlly with the same annoyed look.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBe63wHRva
"Interesting.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQ2PE8mvCJ
"Is there anything else you like to do other than read and fantasize?" Catherine asks.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq689qBQLkY
"I like to learn more about my Gift."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMXEJZNkZy
Carefully, as not to fully summon his Gift, Chrono slides his sleeves back and reveals the shiny, golden exterior, speckled with gems of many, his fingernails now sharpened and curved.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzn5ZlrIMHB
"O-oh my.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9MHi7YSOn
"This is as far as I'll go..the last thing I want is to turn on you.." Chrono quickly pulls his sleeves back up.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuHgPi68Bp
"So, what's your Gift? I'm sure you four have gotten one.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UrI8qvuTt
Catherine nudges Nathaniel. "You show yours first. You're the supposed leader."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRCTLuDkCt
"I have never said that I was a leader..."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw1S8aCy4Z
"W-Well..." Isabelle added. "You d-do know the most out of all of us..."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVeHZYGUao
"...Fine.." Nathaniel reluctantly agrees.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CB5YeSn6M
First, his arm, then up to his shoulder, until his entire body was covered in armor.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyebRmWXlr
"You never told me you could do that.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DyWM0iVOD
"I feel as if there is... no need to use the full Gift. It is...uncomfortable.." He speaks from within the suit.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzo17a0JLlI
"Well, get the hell out of it then..."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡailw4E8yYK
He removes himself from the armor, reverting back to his velvet clothes.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8PMvCVAfs
"Well, since thou wants to assume roles, maybe thou would like to go next, co-leader?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2CaX6oT2J
"Of course you pin this crap on me.." Catherine growled. "But sure, why not?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe935jVf30I
She slips through her chair, and all the way through the floor.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkMMKKZVD9
It was like she was in her own dimension, her escape from reality. She swam around as she heard the others from above.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVZU5oy6qJ
That's when she heard a voice calling her name from the distance.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukuT4fqZY8
"Hello?" The voice creepily whispered.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHUS7U2CQ5
"The hell?" She exclaimed. That freaked her out enough to pull herself out of the Phasing dimension.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLetU4F2mtz
She gasped, as if she was underwater when she crawled out.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOniljtbnmW
"You alright? You've been in the floor for quite a while..." Arsenio mentioned.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCVBTU96uU
"...Yeah, something just... freaked me out.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRKAKgPYJM
She slides back in her seat...
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WLuGJ9VvI
"I-I'll go next..." Isabelle announces. Within seconds, the threads began pulling themselves out of her sleeves.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajkoAR933R
"I can even control her emotions like this!"
Dawlly pulls itself against the rest of the threads. Isabelle clenches her chest, before dropping. She wakes up in a fit of rage.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVZ2nrbnQ5
"I just had to wake up today! Is it wrong to get some sleep around here?!"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QLI7GqVEP
Dawlly smiles innocently as Isabelle continues to roar.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMv8IJQUgI
"Don't worry, I've got this.." Arsenio stands up. "Trust me, my charm is irresistible."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbDAUJdyAK
He grabs her wrists, looks her deep into her eyes..
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXqH4UA8dp
"Ah, great..." Catherine grumbled, rolling her eyes.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSrsGDyZiJ
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that you look adorable when you're angry?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG1dzBNe65
Isabelle, easily flustered and caught off guard, immediately snaps back to her timid self.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HZd7mV6lC
"See?" He points out. "It's like a secret perk I have." He starts throwing up two pieces of jewelry.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AIAFTRdbN
Isabelle immediately feels her ears.
"M-my earrings!"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflMYgaweOZ
Arsenio chuckles and gives them back to Isabelle. "Don't worry Belle, I might be a thief, but I couldn't steal from a sweet girl like you."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3FZ7LWIyF
Isabelle just kept turning red as she puts back on her earrings.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk1eg0XRkK
"So, you yourself do not have a Gift just yet, Arsenio?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlXDnwPHm9
"I haven't really felt anything, so no...I think."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGO6Bq3Xm9
Outside, bells begin to ring. Chrono looks up at the clock sitting across the room from him on the wall.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v2gn6zlIc
"Ah...only an hour left..."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAC6PqW2H7
"Is there anything else thou wants to say to us before thou becomes Father Time?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9p8WfOdqgD
"Use your Gift well, and I hope we get to see each other more in the future."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EKDvbpnLr
Chrono smiles genuinely.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDwJm0GJIb
"So, what now?" Arsenio says, picking his teeth.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc2UO4FEhc
"Well, if you four are attending the ceremony, you'll have to be properly dressed."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPqkEXrMMj
"Well, Verna could've told us that earlier.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMhLprLJcH
"Don't worry, we have a public closet full of gowns and suits for you to wear."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAC7BrUn72N
Chrono stands up, leads them upstairs and pulls open a closet door.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhY4zYPznK
There were attire in every color of the rainbow.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd8VIgfhIL
"Hey, now this is nice!" Catherine says, walking into the spacious closet.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqU2uZKqB7
"Don't be afraid to pick whatever you want!" Chrono says, leaving.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pg9pNLFIA
Trying to decide what attire to wear, the Prodigies pick the most extravagant and dazzling outfit that fit them the most.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYrwTSjWlV
The four take turns putting on their new clothes, which gleamed and twinkled in the light. Once the four return to the closet.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIcgnXYYwK
"Looking nice girls.." Arsenio says.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamgIpBUdhI
"These shoes are gonna kill me later, but yeah, thanks.."
Catherine complained.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eytXpbf9n
"Now that that portion has been completed.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjXWpOpENZ
Nathaniel grabs Arsenio by the shoulder.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DUONc3mGJ
"Arsenio. Thou shall come with me."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtDW9TqjHi
He drags him away.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNcf6wTHpz
"Hey uh, Nathaniel, what are you trying to do?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwqaJeuanB
"We must fix this hair of thine.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0meuEIHvP
"Wait...Nate no, my hair is fine-"
Nathaniel pulls Arsenio outside.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sCJVI3BiH
"Well, it w-wouldn't be too wrong to d-do the same, would it?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5iYUX0y3b
"No, we can take turns doing each other's hair. That seems hella fun!"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbunhGOSCr
"O-okay!"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09WeX2RBcD
Isabelle finds some combs, brushes, and hair accessories.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmZM8cxcWm
"N-now, what kind of hairstyle would you want?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDD4Jj8eLN
"Something simple, I guess. Not trying to impress anyone.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8YW6vFDZ0
Isabelle gets to unbraiding Catherine's hair, carefully and gracefully taking it apart. In the middle of brushing however, Isabelle stops.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL8qC1OoBl
"Uhm...Catherine?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqtOIPvhKI
"Yeah?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxD4FcZ5lEl
"There's a m-mark or something...on your neck.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYL2sRjEPA
"Huh? What does it look like?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMa8FR9giE
"It l-looks like something scratched you... you didn't g-get attacked b-by anything, did you?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4RJOqCSK2
Catherine scratches her neck once again.
"I dunno, I thought I just had an allergic reaction to something yesterday, that's when it started itching like crazy.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0Qpxezo6W
"D-Do you have any allergies?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLmv8gpTSd
"I'm not supposed to."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVmV81ow43
"...Oh my.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtzURjm77R
"I'm not too worried about it... it'll clear up soon..."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa7yPI9PFX
"...If you say so.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZzJsVQ7yG
Isabelle continues to brush and straighten Catherine's hair. Before she knew it, Isabelle was already putting a flower pin neatly upon her head.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVhsEDKyud
Isabelle puts a mirror in front of her face. "T-Tada!"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFBjySRjhX
"Oh damn. That's actually really good."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFhqRxcnzk
"T-thank you.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKGsyRweha
They switch positions, with Catherine sitting behind Isabelle to do her hair.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68uVTDN6br
"Is there anything specific you want to get?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlYi0Gnj5I
"U-Uhm.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SJ8B7sGqQ
"Oh wait, I actually learned how to do this one hairstyle, French roll or something like that?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41ObPqcmMf
"Okay, that one t-then.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxpEepEG6f
"Alright."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8l3U7njG3
Catherine gathers all of Isabelle's hair, pulling it together, wrapping it around itself, until it looks like the hairstyle.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtsCZLsHTi
"Crap, I don't have any hair pins.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FxERFiCzf
"D-don't worry, I have a backup.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKchI4su4F
With her Gift, Isabelle sews the updo together until it fits securely, then places her own pin into her head.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQdbj30sQ6
"...That works too.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWN3MoVxOzd
Both the boys suddenly walk back into the closet. Arsenio's hair was no longer covering his eye, but instead pulled back to where someone could see both.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqRa7YYKeb
"I still don't get why you did this, it was fine as it is.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujdGnwNEzv
"Trust me, thou would rather look like this."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSD5lnCA8G
"I see the boys didn't have a good time picking out hairstyles." Catherine taunted.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTxqTiIW7R
"T-They do seem to be in a debate.." Isabelle added.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHlDsrB3eH
"It's gonna take forever to put my hair back now.." Arsenio protested.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo7RPrKbVT
"Let's not w-worry about that... we're supposed t-to have fun.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5MSijMY1M
"Yeah, I guess that's true..."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuA2JvUMtxI
There was thirty more minutes left. Still plenty of time to waste. Chrono comes back to check on them.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8vgkaADTR
"Ah, looking exquisite Prodigies!" Chrono praises them. "I'm sure you'll be the best looking ones out there!"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVV9WeH76w
"Eh, I doubt it, but I feel a lot prettier in this poofy thing.." Catherine flutters the ends of her dress.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJhxzdLxM5
"Ah, don't be so modest, you look great!"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinrjtdjugB
"Well, we still have lots of time. What should we do until then?" Arsenio asks.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA16kBycQT
"Why wait?" Chrono asks. "I can manipulate time at will. I'll just skip time a few minutes.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi9gGSvmcN
Chrono raises his arms. Their breathing gets faster, no, everything they did became quicker than their eyes can see, then abruptly...it all stops. The bells ring once again.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbGkKefo9h
"...That was...strange."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2tBb0uRn0
"Let's go. The ceremony's about to start."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6pW4AIcgz
Catherine pushes Chrono out of the door. "We're right behind you, don't worry."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzIBgxne11
Chrono sighs, stands in a more noble-like pose, and walks out with same neutral face as before. The Prodigies start walking similarly, standing on the sidelines as they got to the end of the golden aisle.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSkkyZXOfg
The crowd begins to applaud as Verna appears behind Chrono. She clears her throat.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxwJqtuIgp
"Welcome everyone, to Chrono's coronation. It's been a while since we've had one of these, huh?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslpmXhiq8q
The crowd erupted into light laughter.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP8npdrZ5q
"Anyways," she continued. "let's get to the best part."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45P29rcet0
She turns Chrono around, hold his hands gently.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrgY96DBid
"Do you solemnly swear, as long as you live, that you will fairly rule over the Time Realm?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMar1RwSBp1
Chrono silently nods.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNOwXYM10v
Verna releases his hands, opens her own, and in them, appears an extravagant crown which seemed to glow in the light.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBzzf2TwL6
"Well then," she places it upon his head. "..you are now Father Time."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBem2fVzVWc
Everyone explodes into cheers. The Prodigies couldn't help but clap along.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQjJ8Y5qce
"Now, let us commence. Grab a partner, for the party is about to begin!"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSQBlyjaT6
Groups begin to pull apart into parties of two, music begins to fade in.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTBEfD0aAk
Catherine feels fluttery from the tension.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJSYxpkmcn
"...Is something the matter Catherine?" Nathaniel's voice seemed louder than the opening song softly playing in background, the duos of dancers twirling around like a top.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE39mtxjoUR
"I just...never danced before. I just sat in the back of the room drinking punch and looking at everyone else at prom." she returned, sadly chuckling. "Speaking of which...I should go do that now."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qXRgvSWRk
She trudges off to a table, which had some people conversing between each other, and some cool punch standing on a table. Catherine brainlessly takes a cup, picks up the golden ladle, and puts the drink in the cup before taking a sip, like she always does.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJPHAUEPrZ
She tries to find familiar people swimming through the crowd like fish in water. Catherine is lost in thought as she took another sip, the cool temperature of the drink removing the clawing tension from her head and shoulders.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qYyfaOCMn
"Does thou plan to do this at every party?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mWgis4ggM
Catherine finds the source of the tension. She knew Nathaniel was standing behind her the entire time. Without looking back, she responds.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CLkgzyN1V
"I don't have anything else to do. Why'd you follow me anyway?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVav54J27AN
"I actually came here for a pastry.." he reaches behind her to grab a tart from the tray on the table, taking a bite and getting jam and whipped cream on his face.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AURUnJcLc
"Nate, you dumbass..."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU186YyfmY3
"Hm?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xhH72VOsl
"You have jam and crap all over your face.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jDJtkTqw8
She pulls a napkin, and is just about to hand it to him, when a voice yells in pain, quieting the party to silence.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMwwVIPHhP
"...What's going on?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLpMBbCyOI
"I am not sure."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshn8Nw2gEv
"...Boost me."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDiPM1TBQO
"What?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQ9BYIx8R9
Catherine struggles to climb up Nathaniel. Once she reaches his shoulders, her eyes catch something unexpected.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJIhSApZtv
"It's...Chrono.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMh9mxOidN
The two push participants out of the way.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD8DkyMPsH
"I was worried about his hands and..." a girl whispered towards them.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tAmbR1k0W
"Don't worry, we've got this."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmVtLbEWQr
It seems like his Gift was finally coming into play.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioCaNjKfOP
"Chrono...are you alright?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmCF8kzfwp
Chrono grabs the edge of Catherine's dress to pull himself up.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTxVq5FYqK
"I'm fine, really! My Gift just... activated all on it's own.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58ZvHC2oAO
As he stands up, everyone could see his Gift's true form. His face was plated halfway with gold, just as his arms were.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8KI9b1mIk
"But seriously, I'm fine!"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt9a4n299p
More of his face became jagged.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AC44RVFoh
"... Let's go. Nate, you get Arsenio and Isabelle."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJtRLl9RE8
Catherine pulled Chrono away from the party, taking him back the House of Father Time.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGC64oeYZN
"Okay, Chrono...what happened?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqWJcfziLo
"I-I think the stress...plus the demonstration from this morning..."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwXoQP8n6w
Nathaniel and the others enter the room as more of Chrono's face became encased into more gold. His clothing began to rip as thorns began poking through.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThZMESTqCw
"C-Chrono? Are you okay?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDhViUWHmt
"I-I am f-fine, Prodigies...this is just what happens...It's a little painful, though..."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAgTVBIb9g
More barbs rip around his body, horns even start to curve from his head.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAQYB2a7t2
"O-Oh goodness.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QD33Rjel1
"I just have to...fight it. I can't hurt anyone if..."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXJCnhqnai
His breathing gets heavier than stones.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmzhrodB1a
"Is there anyone we can get for help?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzo4CBaK53
"You don't need to bring anyone. Just...leave before it.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLax6KDqnIc
Without thinking, Chrono threw a glass from a table right beside him.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbqWaB2k8F
"Okay okay! Let's calm down.." Arsenio says, recovering from dodging.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CMTmV9ada
"I-I can't! It's going to..."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwQvKD0zzn
The Prodigies prepare themselves, but they were still unprepared for Chrono's unpredictable speed as he dashed at Catherine and threw her out of the window behind them.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8aoB9C3sB
Catherine simply used Phasing to break her fall, diving into the floor.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83wf1sR2Fr
The voice from before called again. "There she is again!"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio0KJsfjlc
"...Who the hell are you? What do you want?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m4U5lEdBf
She saw a stripe of bright cyan wave past her. Catherine tried desperately to find where the line went.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEcGAyN5Ys
"...Behind you.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAxA4Vb9QF
Catherine turned around to see the menacing face of a dragon staring back at her. She was about to take a breath to scream.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphhk6IdHva
"Hey, don't scream. I just want to know how you got here."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNSt3EZADj
Catherine confusingly looks.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAq60604X8
"This is my Gift...I can phase through crap like it's water. I broke my fall from a building.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq3ODeyuXr
"Oh, you must be the person I marked yesterday. Makes sense, I guess.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQhCSNmhI8
"M-Marked?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8nO2ETqD3
"That itch you could never satisfy." It points towards Catherine's neck.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOMhkWLcTM
"...Wait, that was you?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmaryTEQ55
The serpent playfully clears it's throat before bellowing menacingly.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRAzBl30Mt
"Allow me to become you, and I shall spare your life!"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69Ae1nOGDa
"...Do I get other abilities other than falling through stuff?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5G62lvk3D6
The dragon shrugs. "I think so?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzKJ7TJMG2
"Great. Come on then."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy2EkPZlkA
It phases through Catherine, unlocking a surge of energy and power within her.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl1RgI3isQ
Catherine climbs out of the dimension as the others were looking for her.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFibIn0jmTm
"Sorry if I scared you guys.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBJBXcdMVz
"Catherine! Y-you're okay!"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4POwUFxt0Z
"Yeah, I just got a new friend."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIdWbhAUdQ
The dragon only appeared as a ghost coiled around her body.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSRE7CHjDI
"And her name is?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDqJ81VY46
"Not sure.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pGZtamipp
Like a ghost, the dragon swapped her soul with Catherine's.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcef3EfFzN8
"Piravit. My name is Piravit, the Spiritual Dragon of Phasing. I have chosen Catherine here as my host..."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXgK7VNQwS
"Thou is...possessing her.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU5oiAyrJ2
"Oh no, she agreed to this. It's more of a symbiotic relationship. I get to go to stay here in her body, and she gets my strength."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3lEcp1lfn
"Cool. Now...about him.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG1sWa0bTw
Arsenio points at the shattered window that Catherine fell out of.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyde0OZxDN
Chrono's roar echoed throughout the realm as he perched on the window.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXLcsRErFV
"Oi! You have some explaining to do!"
Catherine says as she takes back control of her body.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuq8NzuhFUW
"...Catherine, that's the Time Beast!"
Piravit says as a echoing voice inside her head.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn9NLdlQbn
"Eh? That's Chrono, that's just his Gift."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVclhZ7N9h
"Like you, he's been marked. If he sees me with you, he'll kill us both!"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsG2m8ub1n1
As on cue, Chrono jumps down right in front of Catherine, as if analyzing her. Then with angry aura, throws her again.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHf8AVZTDG
Catherine hits the ground, tumbling.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW1dUcaozp
She struggles to pick herself up, as Chrono runs towards her.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3o8y9m9vr
"What the hell did you do for him to get pissed off?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ew0vlf3QD
The dragon goes back to it's spiritual state.
"Sooo, about 2,000 years ago...I made a bet with him...I kinda lost said bet and I hid in the Phasing Dimension until someone strong enough could become my host... hehe.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0T6jiwJD4
"You have gotta be kidding me!"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxg6naeBz6
"But don't worry! I'm sure if we beat him, he'll come to his senses!"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqXuzO8mlO
Chrono pulls a punch towards them, only to be stopped by Isabelle's thread.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0faHzrRJN
"C-Chrono! You h-have to come t-to your senses!"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfTwdSxKYk
"Get off!" He returns in a ferocious roar as he cuts the thread with his nails. Isabelle, pained, has to step back and catch her breath.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9kUp7fEKA
"I-I'm sorry...I can't k-keep him still..."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2pHFwtdWs
"It's alright! You've spared me some time!"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde3VobnRzp
"Let me take over!" Piravit immediately pulls Catherine out, becoming the one in control.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sFhCnwLiw
As soon as Chrono began a barrage of punches, Piravit pulls away, but was able to only dodge a few before tanking them.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fiQV3NOmY
"He's way too fast! I can't get a hit on him!"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5MRDiFfD9
As Chrono kept punching her in the chest, Piravit, in Catherine's body, was thinking of ideas, pondering as hard as her breathing.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDkVO07g05
Piravit begins to punch rapidly in response, until the two stop.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzRP08quoq
"I have to say..." Piravit states tauntingly. " You've given me quite the workout since I left my dimension-"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelCM6CXmOE
While it's still in the middle of it's sentence, Chrono begins to attack again, as Piravit had to take what seemed to be dozens of punches at once.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUxSc0NVjy
"So, p-playing dirty are we?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQj2rCDFuK
Chrono responds with an angry, but silent, glare.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXW8VMhvn5
"Great, I like games without rules..."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdxfPZGJGP
Piravit phases back into the floor. When they return to the Phasing Dimension, the two separate.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdpMUtxHu0
"Okay, so new plan..."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIMHjcKeDz
Catherine coughs as she feels the after effects of earlier.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7gA63EPcF
"You better think of something and fast..."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmTPBcYbCi
"There's one last thing we can do, but you have to follow a specific set of rules and-"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWIqGNcuO2
"Nevermind... I'll figure something out.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixWXluiLjL
Catherine jumps from the dimension and behind Chrono, where she sneakily kicks him.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqLVhFsHtB
Piravit follows shortly behind her.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUG1WP4HLB
She kneels down towards Chrono.
"Well? Are you having fun yet? Not fun being attacked without noticing, huh?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDDdKgcpKX
Chrono swipes at Catherine's arm, barely cutting her.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nHKhAjnnI
"...Nah. Didn't think so.." she says, standing up. "Didn't know you'd get this bad.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUNEpRx8Mr
She picks him up. "Come on. Let's finish this so you can go back to normal at least. I have things to do.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2zd7FwUhO
Catherine stands in a fighting position.
"I'll only use my power alone."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraSmwGen5C
"Then allow me to join you." Arsenio says, standing beside her.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKGvSlcPs6
"What are you gonna do, flirt him to death?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfJ0DsiXVL
"I actually had something else in mind.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEpp7Bhy2x
Arsenio was finally able to conjure a Gift, as an arm cannon faded to fit on top of his hand.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQKWTzr6WE
"I wanted to test this thing, you know?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UTfzAgrIx
"...Whatever."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqJhgsx1yR
"Come forward..." Chrono says menacingly.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25yJbN5QSp
"Whatever you say, your Majesty."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrJU8wwPsh
As the two-on-one began, more of the participants of the ceremony began to watch from a distance.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5MalkVTQC
"Seems like we've made quite an audience.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBxvoh9iSV
"Let's make this the best coronation the Time Realm has ever seen.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzMV7KfUOC
The two Prodigies went two different directions, hoping for one of them to leave an opening for the other, but Chrono had a few more abilities to use to his disposal.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTt1uexcto
With a sharp yell, time itself began to slow.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvbI1NYNT7
"Damnit! We're stuck until.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z6UzPA8BX
Chrono begins his attack while they're stuck midair within the clutches of time. Catherine can feel the struggle as she tries to move and break herself free, to no avail.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8oOuH9MW3
She feels the true strength of Chrono as he lands multiple attacks, the pain settling in before she could react. Chrono snaps his fingers, releasing time from it's statue. The sharp, deep pains only burned more as she fell.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF66nuAlMn
"...I don't think we're gonna make it if he keeps stopping time like that.." She says, spitting up blood and standing up.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrc8UhT8Xm
Arsenio reveals the power of his own Gift, as a fiery beam escaped from his hands as a brilliant red. It took Chrono's mind off of Catherine as he tries to block the flame beam with his bare arms.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhEzpGKDEf
Catherine jumps up.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihsFNLApG4
"You're welcome!" Arsenio says from afar.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgVg8jZceD
"Thanks! Keep looking for openings!"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIpD8AZZhd
As Arsenio keeps circling the area, and the crowd becomes more congested, Catherine continues to fight, dodging and landing punches. She even managed to crack the golden frame that latched onto Chrono's face. The both of them couldn't tell if they were trembling from fatigue or excitement. Their legs were just about to give in, when Chrono stops attacking.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOfaNYknbT
"A-alright...you've proven your worth.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcmPiHJnvZ
"Is this Chrono we're speaking to?" Arsenio asks as his Gift charges up once again and picks Catherine up.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsvm4hd1aF
"I-I'm not sure.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx92FANhq7
"Make sure you're sure. I'd hate to hit you with this thing for no reason."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzBEWsKgxV
"I'm in the conscious of Chrono yes, but..." he looks at his hands and feels against face. "I don't know what body I'm in anymore.."
More cracks split the golden covering, from head to toe.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTetnLl8pV
Chrono shakes his head. "N-nevermind! Let us continue with the celebration, yes?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCZcyFYrwc
"To be honest, I'm worn out..."
Catherine huffed. "You're like...crazy strong."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09eCOpPdUG
"I-I'll make it up to you, I swear!"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmCQXp1ARS
Piravit peeks from the floor. "Can I come out now?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveYKFmekfd
"Depends.." Chrono says. "Are you willing to take your side of the deal?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzwVJxDEB5
"Eep!" Piravit says, coiling itself around Catherine and hiding behind her. "A-Ah! My part of the deal...?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVODPQvkTGe
"You shall give me full entry to your dimension. That was your promise to me."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAAp5XBLPC
"...Fine. But you can't keep using Chrono as a vessel for your battles."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUL09XCjkf
Chrono stares for a second, before hitting the ground, parts of his golden shell chipping off.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWaacNz7Pa
The Time Beast appears as a ghost, similar to Piravit, above Chrono's body. His body pulls from the floor, as he dusts himself off.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsqS4LOZgU
"He's suppressed his power...I think."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5cRzSG9i8
"Wait, they have a gender?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjqEKXkD4e
"Yeah..." Piravit answered. "It is quite obvious that I'm female. No whiskers, see?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7M6nOAhF2
"I guess.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM5kdD4IxL
"Catherine! Arsenio!" Isabelle says, stumbling her own feet. "A-Are you two alright?"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctC7wGLqYD
"I'm good. Not sure about Catherine though."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCw4ydRN3l
"Nah, I'll be alright. I don't think he broke anything."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrFYZ9Hm2h
Nathaniel also approaches them with another tart in hand.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtudJbdQbJ
"Nate! You just had one of those things!"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MpqDvQwH0
"I must try every single flavor." He says taking another giant bite.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhFgGGYwg8
"..M-Maybe we should g-go.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8lDZBYaHB
"Are you sure? We can just...continue the party as normal.."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn64ElzhHF1
Arsenio shrugs. "Seems like a plan to me."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqhwWDh9RS
Slowly, the music begins to play. Partners begin to group together. It was like the party was uninterrupted the entire time.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lOvQmwfT2
The Prodigies were peppered with compliments of their strength, but eventually, the other participants calmed down and went back to chat amongst themselves. The Prodigies had fun eating and dancing to the music that wafted throughout the realm air.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYhB0bnrBh
After the party, the Prodigies carried Chrono back into the House of Father Time.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJDmjON3g6
"Thank you, you four. Hopefully I can get around with solving some of your Timebreaker problems sometime!"
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDBJ9o0I2i
"We'd greatly appreciate it. We don't know how strong the next one'll be."
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0butyxX0u
Chrono waves them away as they go back to the Sanctuary. Ezra was already asleep when they returned, wrapped up in a blanket.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4ocM74VjQ
"Well, we should get some rest too."
Catherine announced.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4WQ69De22
"Way ahead of you." Arsenio says, dropping into the bed.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3GJUQdkO1
Everyone puts themselves to bed for the night, and the Prodigies fall asleep.
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6nBzxB72m
Silently, in the middle of the night, someone's Tempural Energy swarmed the room...
262Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5g67nX1VIY
