"Rise and shine, Prodigies!" Verna's peppy voice awoken the group. "Let's get ready for the coronation of Father Time today!"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHGcVYUZ3M
Catherine scratches her neck as she pushes the quilt off. "Coronation?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20CJIkynb1
"Apparently, a new Father Time is to be crowned today." Nathaniel states, stretching.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGws69070dt
"Your mission today is to just watch over the new guy before the celebration begins. Pretty easy, right?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49LOBpYSXL
"Wait...our job today is to be a goddamn babysitter?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VVHmA0amB
"If that's how you view it, yes. But as a reward, you get to go to the after-party!"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WsXwJhP5d
"That at least solves dinner..." Ezra thinks aloud.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC7Xpj0UIM
"Breakfast will be served once you get there, so just put on your clothes and shoes and...look a little presentable.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySl7a39qVa
"No prob.." Arsenio says. "Let me just get my morning tea before I go.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoSSLAaAFM
"T-Tea?" Isabelle asks while brushing her hair.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSl9cI2Zjs
"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."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevarW17RgZ
"...Alright then..." Arsenio says, slowly sitting down and sliding his hands in his coat pockets. "I'll just wait until later then.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9LsChDjbV
"Is everyone ready?" Verna asks, peeking into the room as she does so.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiKwAA39Oy
"I think so.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rmmF893Da
"Good, good!" she fully opens the doors to let the Prodigies out. "Then, let's go, shall we?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ9uEGO56D
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.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUV4QH3rtm
"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."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvVGGcGUR9
"...Is it because he's blonde?" Catherine remarked.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxjyLpZJt2
"... That might have had a influence on the nickname, yes."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Jj65uqZD7
They watched as walked stone faced across to the home of Father Time.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqvX4pGp9X
"Let's go." Verna says, instructing them to follow Chrono.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN1TrBfODx
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.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40kNv2rDtO
"Hello?" Catherine waited for a response.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4UeRApxgT
"J-Just a minute!" A voice called out before crashing and falling is heard. Then, from the stairs emerged Chrono.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7crGTf2Hdy
"Verna, very nice to see you again. And these four might be?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1jR1s2DRK
"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."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbotxSDeJR
"I see..."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveQOwCfYjh
"Thanks again for doing this, guys."
Verna time warps away.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEkpjL48KV
"...Which one of you is which? I just don't want to be confused.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmNHkbzeOz
They introduce themselves once again, giving him some clarity.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhfT6aSs06
"Ah, well it's nice to meet all of you."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bjdvracKW
"Verna t-told us that w-we would have s-some breakfast.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRw9Nvp61V
"Of course. You've come here quite early, so I'm sure you four are starving."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXyF2jDtQl
"Yeah..." Catherine agreed, lightly holding her stomach.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VapiytsUt
"I thought so. I've prepared something, so don't worry."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3g8Q3Gqbg
Chrono brandishes a golden door, which he promptly throws open and reveals some nice breakfast meals, already plated and ready to eat.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3utMqwBec
"You m-made all of this yourself?!" Catherine exclaimed, impressed.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXx46QSwkNQ
"I was just planning on making food for myself, but I didn't want to be rude.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowWOMAN8AW
"It does look rather...delectable..." Nathaniel says, clearing his throat.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R1c2Os2X6
"Well, shall we eat or watch it get cold?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbjn1B5DqQ
The four Prodigies and the Son of Time all sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast, basically wolfing down the entire plate before them.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T7D0lGC4H
"Man, that was good..." Arsenio says, stretching in his seat.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknp9GBMxXh
"I'm glad you enjoyed. It's very difficult to find people who enjoy similar interests to me."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJ7q4e7OmU
"Now what? Do you just read books and whatnot?" Catherine asked, taking the last sip of her drink.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbbkGtyk8P
"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.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKCY5kRREa
"Then why not join us? From what we've experienced, we certainly need the help." Arsenio asks, leaned back in his chair.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s1u1SWQ3h
"I was never suited for things like that, unfortunately..." Chrono sighs. "My Gift is also a little...hard to control."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMxpJ62U4c
"...Can we see it?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDMuRn41qo
Chrono begins to rub his arms as guilt and embarrassment threw itself on his face.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPRloSBe0D
"You can say no, you know..." Catherine speaks. "No one's forcing you."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcJBwzCjgq
"It's...complicated."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwOnyt2KMo
"That's u-understandable...I have a Gift I can't quite c-control myself..."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oHTgiH20K
Dawlly immediately pops itself out of Isabelle's pocket with an annoyed look.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOQKijksCz
"I-It's true..." she looks at Dawlly with the same annoyed look.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqdTjsDPDY
"Interesting.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4NqXdJIpH
"Is there anything else you like to do other than read and fantasize?" Catherine asks.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNO1Kx6CYd
"I like to learn more about my Gift."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SIPXVCrvN
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.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xxtOByNt6
"O-oh my.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSkI8OzXA1
"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.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr66u7lyF47
"So, what's your Gift? I'm sure you four have gotten one.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhKBmbNKNb
Catherine nudges Nathaniel. "You show yours first. You're the supposed leader."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZvTtptYL4
"I have never said that I was a leader..."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxusGNPoGl
"W-Well..." Isabelle added. "You d-do know the most out of all of us..."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0nEG74XiD
"...Fine.." Nathaniel reluctantly agrees.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLQ0TrhkZK
First, his arm, then up to his shoulder, until his entire body was covered in armor.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oc0RFUxXX
"You never told me you could do that.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANj329EZXf
"I feel as if there is... no need to use the full Gift. It is...uncomfortable.." He speaks from within the suit.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWslubJn6R
"Well, get the hell out of it then..."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1XraS6ca9
He removes himself from the armor, reverting back to his velvet clothes.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqVrB2ArzO
"Well, since thou wants to assume roles, maybe thou would like to go next, co-leader?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESVcKamqcU
"Of course you pin this crap on me.." Catherine growled. "But sure, why not?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqMBIoZcoN
She slips through her chair, and all the way through the floor.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCwCqw817I
It was like she was in her own dimension, her escape from reality. She swam around as she heard the others from above.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDOgGbLn3R
That's when she heard a voice calling her name from the distance.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qN4ofQxtw
"Hello?" The voice creepily whispered.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CkA04bwS5
"The hell?" She exclaimed. That freaked her out enough to pull herself out of the Phasing dimension.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J63mYbFuh
She gasped, as if she was underwater when she crawled out.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5nYsC89pd
"You alright? You've been in the floor for quite a while..." Arsenio mentioned.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSMAtxaZPF
"...Yeah, something just... freaked me out.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAyySqdpdk
She slides back in her seat...
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzUd86FAfe
"I-I'll go next..." Isabelle announces. Within seconds, the threads began pulling themselves out of her sleeves.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz95Gs5r16
"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.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DwvHWYJeZ
"I just had to wake up today! Is it wrong to get some sleep around here?!"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1sJbbvkbR
Dawlly smiles innocently as Isabelle continues to roar.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r1fYY4hQo
"Don't worry, I've got this.." Arsenio stands up. "Trust me, my charm is irresistible."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvClsMVaEoK
He grabs her wrists, looks her deep into her eyes..
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcPobfs6SX
"Ah, great..." Catherine grumbled, rolling her eyes.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJC4oT0W90t
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that you look adorable when you're angry?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iNEK9BJfL
Isabelle, easily flustered and caught off guard, immediately snaps back to her timid self.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGO0yx25RZ
"See?" He points out. "It's like a secret perk I have." He starts throwing up two pieces of jewelry.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW8PMUzSqr
Isabelle immediately feels her ears.
"M-my earrings!"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM2mNFZQRA
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."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXq2daEcPp
Isabelle just kept turning red as she puts back on her earrings.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFw2dzDGEId
"So, you yourself do not have a Gift just yet, Arsenio?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXNwZEwcZJ
"I haven't really felt anything, so no...I think."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswKu8M7PH4
Outside, bells begin to ring. Chrono looks up at the clock sitting across the room from him on the wall.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRKvHqjOt4
"Ah...only an hour left..."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYMtsYzbR0
"Is there anything else thou wants to say to us before thou becomes Father Time?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn0CQunfhI
"Use your Gift well, and I hope we get to see each other more in the future."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkshrMnMjUP
Chrono smiles genuinely.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsKCLEQYHB
"So, what now?" Arsenio says, picking his teeth.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IAdn8Y8PG
"Well, if you four are attending the ceremony, you'll have to be properly dressed."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJagbkBoxIG
"Well, Verna could've told us that earlier.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvWPwlYua0
"Don't worry, we have a public closet full of gowns and suits for you to wear."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvPYWrr5Xx
Chrono stands up, leads them upstairs and pulls open a closet door.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KVwRJ4Ksr
There were attire in every color of the rainbow.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOgxaUxMDr
"Hey, now this is nice!" Catherine says, walking into the spacious closet.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstwBwpPdU0
"Don't be afraid to pick whatever you want!" Chrono says, leaving.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0q4dmXDStz
Trying to decide what attire to wear, the Prodigies pick the most extravagant and dazzling outfit that fit them the most.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6q6gv4Jal
The four take turns putting on their new clothes, which gleamed and twinkled in the light. Once the four return to the closet.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGAmnHenSg
"Looking nice girls.." Arsenio says.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltOack5Xij
"These shoes are gonna kill me later, but yeah, thanks.."
Catherine complained.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25mnJh1UuT
"Now that that portion has been completed.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFN1d0aNv0
Nathaniel grabs Arsenio by the shoulder.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPB7ykqdOP
"Arsenio. Thou shall come with me."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUCTyp9sv2
He drags him away.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcyUaZG1vr
"Hey uh, Nathaniel, what are you trying to do?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9Vd5HwMFz
"We must fix this hair of thine.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotzCBFHV87
"Wait...Nate no, my hair is fine-"
Nathaniel pulls Arsenio outside.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83D6j2uNn0
"Well, it w-wouldn't be too wrong to d-do the same, would it?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftouri6AfB
"No, we can take turns doing each other's hair. That seems hella fun!"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGJXyYpKYM
"O-okay!"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbY5y2qBq5
Isabelle finds some combs, brushes, and hair accessories.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ80FZ19jOC
"N-now, what kind of hairstyle would you want?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLFbUl5jMk
"Something simple, I guess. Not trying to impress anyone.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHOoCn9i2I
Isabelle gets to unbraiding Catherine's hair, carefully and gracefully taking it apart. In the middle of brushing however, Isabelle stops.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyUxzQK2wG
"Uhm...Catherine?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWpqPBV5Lj
"Yeah?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJE0FdXVVd
"There's a m-mark or something...on your neck.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc79f55KqoP
"Huh? What does it look like?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVPpSWmlJ8
"It l-looks like something scratched you... you didn't g-get attacked b-by anything, did you?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZroVrj9jm
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.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpqCjvfJM4
"D-Do you have any allergies?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogv7BSHepH
"I'm not supposed to."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ffIghjiVX
"...Oh my.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VCejS9Wbn
"I'm not too worried about it... it'll clear up soon..."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7U9Ye5tJi
"...If you say so.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpFQ0E7akw
Isabelle continues to brush and straighten Catherine's hair. Before she knew it, Isabelle was already putting a flower pin neatly upon her head.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSpu22deOV
Isabelle puts a mirror in front of her face. "T-Tada!"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AvR6P8BMa
"Oh damn. That's actually really good."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkC87FOkkNA
"T-thank you.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR34V7eSxtj
They switch positions, with Catherine sitting behind Isabelle to do her hair.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeixKNLxAS
"Is there anything specific you want to get?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsXBl3PSDH
"U-Uhm.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmMboqejGO
"Oh wait, I actually learned how to do this one hairstyle, French roll or something like that?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppDehn0b04
"Okay, that one t-then.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzOLwl7r4r
"Alright."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBvJMl83jp
Catherine gathers all of Isabelle's hair, pulling it together, wrapping it around itself, until it looks like the hairstyle.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRSQVSzu0q
"Crap, I don't have any hair pins.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5zh0vUBjs
"D-don't worry, I have a backup.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcKdAEmAjP
With her Gift, Isabelle sews the updo together until it fits securely, then places her own pin into her head.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM172cS8E8G
"...That works too.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3JbATPNOW
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.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjUKqQSqM6
"I still don't get why you did this, it was fine as it is.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboWwQKyrrK
"Trust me, thou would rather look like this."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMedv6dcwSh
"I see the boys didn't have a good time picking out hairstyles." Catherine taunted.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvZSHcLT9z
"T-They do seem to be in a debate.." Isabelle added.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdnGZL7FJH
"It's gonna take forever to put my hair back now.." Arsenio protested.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaPu5PnwKx
"Let's not w-worry about that... we're supposed t-to have fun.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM3xcAUlKI
"Yeah, I guess that's true..."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdvp6Q04ju
There was thirty more minutes left. Still plenty of time to waste. Chrono comes back to check on them.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44PJXLtI36
"Ah, looking exquisite Prodigies!" Chrono praises them. "I'm sure you'll be the best looking ones out there!"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLVoyuWeur
"Eh, I doubt it, but I feel a lot prettier in this poofy thing.." Catherine flutters the ends of her dress.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv80dS92xP
"Ah, don't be so modest, you look great!"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMZijJCpjv
"Well, we still have lots of time. What should we do until then?" Arsenio asks.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXfPs9BTTP
"Why wait?" Chrono asks. "I can manipulate time at will. I'll just skip time a few minutes.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJWmdY99Mx
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.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DfNJ5tG2J
"...That was...strange."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDbeEX9LWe
"Let's go. The ceremony's about to start."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeXFHiMdrg
Catherine pushes Chrono out of the door. "We're right behind you, don't worry."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wwISq8AAp
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.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Zg8ALKB1C
The crowd begins to applaud as Verna appears behind Chrono. She clears her throat.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Cxmb9z0wA
"Welcome everyone, to Chrono's coronation. It's been a while since we've had one of these, huh?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaOxPq6aPo
The crowd erupted into light laughter.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxYbRaiBpw
"Anyways," she continued. "let's get to the best part."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbKOwjV2q4
She turns Chrono around, hold his hands gently.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1ATCYDoF3
"Do you solemnly swear, as long as you live, that you will fairly rule over the Time Realm?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDB8DoGjK29
Chrono silently nods.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJEVs9UyAM
Verna releases his hands, opens her own, and in them, appears an extravagant crown which seemed to glow in the light.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkIVzUTPvz
"Well then," she places it upon his head. "..you are now Father Time."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMlQGhhLL6
Everyone explodes into cheers. The Prodigies couldn't help but clap along.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbJDPlHGbV
"Now, let us commence. Grab a partner, for the party is about to begin!"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0CKlcexva
Groups begin to pull apart into parties of two, music begins to fade in.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsy9LDwwve
Catherine feels fluttery from the tension.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaWr5kQDBs
"...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.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRbIgXKcbw
"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."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziYRf64UGJ
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.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHomjBJUtzI
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.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJaNMmJPxJ
"Does thou plan to do this at every party?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m5RgjvIyI
Catherine finds the source of the tension. She knew Nathaniel was standing behind her the entire time. Without looking back, she responds.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6s2NR2UW3
"I don't have anything else to do. Why'd you follow me anyway?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgtieKbRou
"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.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkhhM3kOKI
"Nate, you dumbass..."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQiS8IssP7
"Hm?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2XMhlYyxk
"You have jam and crap all over your face.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsSQ27SKUz
She pulls a napkin, and is just about to hand it to him, when a voice yells in pain, quieting the party to silence.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgd4wDVlbs
"...What's going on?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTa6BMSCQeQ
"I am not sure."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK7dfR1jXv
"...Boost me."

"What?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jcYsSoz8U
Catherine struggles to climb up Nathaniel. Once she reaches his shoulders, her eyes catch something unexpected.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeckU5tuOM7
"It's...Chrono.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8pKK142uD
The two push participants out of the way.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92UR6UOWgn
"I was worried about his hands and..." a girl whispered towards them.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbpB0NVlVT
"Don't worry, we've got this."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4B9xMCNAW
It seems like his Gift was finally coming into play.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg7hldgcEy
"Chrono...are you alright?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxIXTGI4rY
Chrono grabs the edge of Catherine's dress to pull himself up.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXDaVINJ1t
"I'm fine, really! My Gift just... activated all on it's own.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRDAWAAhU5
As he stands up, everyone could see his Gift's true form. His face was plated halfway with gold, just as his arms were.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7lE9Vg0Jh
"But seriously, I'm fine!"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zHMx2iZ5N
More of his face became jagged.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjooE2wIuM
"... Let's go. Nate, you get Arsenio and Isabelle."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzG9e9vVHP
Catherine pulled Chrono away from the party, taking him back the House of Father Time.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtknHhxmrZn
"Okay, Chrono...what happened?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19LDJ7hveo
"I-I think the stress...plus the demonstration from this morning..."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dwxYYhKD9
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.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVcRup1mwo
"C-Chrono? Are you okay?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKeXIWacS1
"I-I am f-fine, Prodigies...this is just what happens...It's a little painful, though..."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCBxZmiZyQ
More barbs rip around his body, horns even start to curve from his head.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAxbnjwtPJ
"O-Oh goodness.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSL3z2KnsF
"I just have to...fight it. I can't hurt anyone if..."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYaiPGOkiQ
His breathing gets heavier than stones.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnggzhs7dKa
"Is there anyone we can get for help?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXJf9dDpJt
"You don't need to bring anyone. Just...leave before it.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIoToxUQHP
Without thinking, Chrono threw a glass from a table right beside him.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24JB8CysXv
"Okay okay! Let's calm down.." Arsenio says, recovering from dodging.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHii4ctwZQ
"I-I can't! It's going to..."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnIu0HzKn1
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.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX9tD0PF5o
Catherine simply used Phasing to break her fall, diving into the floor.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNIpaSMyxN
The voice from before called again. "There she is again!"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYSmVEsyrw
"...Who the hell are you? What do you want?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqQecynbhB
She saw a stripe of bright cyan wave past her. Catherine tried desperately to find where the line went.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg3QsRgcIV
"...Behind you.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOHpURuaSc
Catherine turned around to see the menacing face of a dragon staring back at her. She was about to take a breath to scream.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aKz3KrUlG
"Hey, don't scream. I just want to know how you got here."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnkuPN3ZhZ
Catherine confusingly looks.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfJJjvFlRJ
"This is my Gift...I can phase through crap like it's water. I broke my fall from a building.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBi1BgWTNP
"Oh, you must be the person I marked yesterday. Makes sense, I guess.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcyEYBDMFd
"M-Marked?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD1tEFMq1h
"That itch you could never satisfy." It points towards Catherine's neck.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3JnrDWJsQ
"...Wait, that was you?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaq2zsjU21
The serpent playfully clears it's throat before bellowing menacingly.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveuiZ08wPo
"Allow me to become you, and I shall spare your life!"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUkojxr2tQ
"...Do I get other abilities other than falling through stuff?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuXktXJXX9
The dragon shrugs. "I think so?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrWiJlZHed
"Great. Come on then."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKExd4EKeQ
It phases through Catherine, unlocking a surge of energy and power within her.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMCt4SEiNm
Catherine climbs out of the dimension as the others were looking for her.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquVmfs0lLE
"Sorry if I scared you guys.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyRBchKZiK
"Catherine! Y-you're okay!"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTqUo09rRs
"Yeah, I just got a new friend."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3sMhVrKN5
The dragon only appeared as a ghost coiled around her body.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwpKdPIrkU
"And her name is?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqAVwbDxAu
"Not sure.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9parhvZUdI
Like a ghost, the dragon swapped her soul with Catherine's.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ngl7OvYq0
"Piravit. My name is Piravit, the Spiritual Dragon of Phasing. I have chosen Catherine here as my host..."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIteNViqG9T
"Thou is...possessing her.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjHyHNEk1N
"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."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m8uG0a9hT
"Cool. Now...about him.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GidffvnDC
Arsenio points at the shattered window that Catherine fell out of.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqIUrxfqxp
Chrono's roar echoed throughout the realm as he perched on the window.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXABgNCpPo
"Oi! You have some explaining to do!"
Catherine says as she takes back control of her body.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa36gzvUYz
"...Catherine, that's the Time Beast!"
Piravit says as a echoing voice inside her head.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquTVGSmdDy
"Eh? That's Chrono, that's just his Gift."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifIxCTdREX
"Like you, he's been marked. If he sees me with you, he'll kill us both!"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPaX8LvJTz
As on cue, Chrono jumps down right in front of Catherine, as if analyzing her. Then with angry aura, throws her again.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAmMcomzwE
Catherine hits the ground, tumbling.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSQky59YKw
She struggles to pick herself up, as Chrono runs towards her.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhBmAMVMGT
"What the hell did you do for him to get pissed off?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0rfvQpvuu
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.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ6kwjssR7
"You have gotta be kidding me!"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNA8vT9TwBO
"But don't worry! I'm sure if we beat him, he'll come to his senses!"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83yYiIPdxq
Chrono pulls a punch towards them, only to be stopped by Isabelle's thread.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYAUqGrQor
"C-Chrono! You h-have to come t-to your senses!"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MEYWepBaT
"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.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xxaxS6I4w
"I-I'm sorry...I can't k-keep him still..."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJcnu8mmZl
"It's alright! You've spared me some time!"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk8QUycthp
"Let me take over!" Piravit immediately pulls Catherine out, becoming the one in control.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKS6uLhOgr
As soon as Chrono began a barrage of punches, Piravit pulls away, but was able to only dodge a few before tanking them.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfvNliIChE
"He's way too fast! I can't get a hit on him!"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0s9EJtEYZL
As Chrono kept punching her in the chest, Piravit, in Catherine's body, was thinking of ideas, pondering as hard as her breathing.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10JIifWZb8
Piravit begins to punch rapidly in response, until the two stop.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCDPOr6uk8
"I have to say..." Piravit states tauntingly. " You've given me quite the workout since I left my dimension-"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3j1IxrgVr
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.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijXp7R4wTJ
"So, p-playing dirty are we?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7pHmFgkls
Chrono responds with an angry, but silent, glare.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDPGSV0m5f
"Great, I like games without rules..."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR6OAwI9dl
Piravit phases back into the floor. When they return to the Phasing Dimension, the two separate.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWsYZC9FzE
"Okay, so new plan..."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRgXqrTohR
Catherine coughs as she feels the after effects of earlier.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo6sCxgEQk
"You better think of something and fast..."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡih2xYRTG9i
"There's one last thing we can do, but you have to follow a specific set of rules and-"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrZerhbeV2
"Nevermind... I'll figure something out.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbrYUtY122
Catherine jumps from the dimension and behind Chrono, where she sneakily kicks him.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPv78EaCer
Piravit follows shortly behind her.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTnqWHLeAd
She kneels down towards Chrono.
"Well? Are you having fun yet? Not fun being attacked without noticing, huh?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJsMQ5JA98
Chrono swipes at Catherine's arm, barely cutting her.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1JhhQGlRm
"...Nah. Didn't think so.." she says, standing up. "Didn't know you'd get this bad.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7aFkFwcRg
She picks him up. "Come on. Let's finish this so you can go back to normal at least. I have things to do.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75llfUH1gm
Catherine stands in a fighting position.
"I'll only use my power alone."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFgGuKFHIx
"Then allow me to join you." Arsenio says, standing beside her.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5pzAg4lrL
"What are you gonna do, flirt him to death?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yaQszCUah
"I actually had something else in mind.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL12iEsVyn
Arsenio was finally able to conjure a Gift, as an arm cannon faded to fit on top of his hand.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCOkVwnhjg
"I wanted to test this thing, you know?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UDMLaFyTM
"...Whatever."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZxrU95BOr
"Come forward..." Chrono says menacingly.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzlCLY3r9g
"Whatever you say, your Majesty."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI0MtnZPgg
As the two-on-one began, more of the participants of the ceremony began to watch from a distance.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRyfoZYHja
"Seems like we've made quite an audience.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqRaReK1zc
"Let's make this the best coronation the Time Realm has ever seen.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMMeu3KpkO
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.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIzPZaQVaW
With a sharp yell, time itself began to slow.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1rUCArZgd
"Damnit! We're stuck until.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7WzHmp8FX
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.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCTJgruZHA
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.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYpjtKJT09
"...I don't think we're gonna make it if he keeps stopping time like that.." She says, spitting up blood and standing up.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamiNlsgHlg
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.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7n5qF2Jkj
Catherine jumps up.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk8naTkhkl
"You're welcome!" Arsenio says from afar.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ6VVcY7MU
"Thanks! Keep looking for openings!"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNxxjG6TCS
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.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvO6GmWjB9a
"A-alright...you've proven your worth.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMObZiSny7
"Is this Chrono we're speaking to?" Arsenio asks as his Gift charges up once again and picks Catherine up.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UhUkn7KQs
"I-I'm not sure.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHDu8xTpHL
"Make sure you're sure. I'd hate to hit you with this thing for no reason."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2p5LzajPM
"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.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSk8Jvnc5t
Chrono shakes his head. "N-nevermind! Let us continue with the celebration, yes?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveiiO4D3pp
"To be honest, I'm worn out..."
Catherine huffed. "You're like...crazy strong."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmk2zzbCEv
"I-I'll make it up to you, I swear!"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaAKBOzq1d
Piravit peeks from the floor. "Can I come out now?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJmJwDD8wi
"Depends.." Chrono says. "Are you willing to take your side of the deal?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEv6l3BqC1
"Eep!" Piravit says, coiling itself around Catherine and hiding behind her. "A-Ah! My part of the deal...?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nl8TiOdkZ
"You shall give me full entry to your dimension. That was your promise to me."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCSXUFjRNs
"...Fine. But you can't keep using Chrono as a vessel for your battles."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYrAgVikEM
Chrono stares for a second, before hitting the ground, parts of his golden shell chipping off.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdHHyTi7EV
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.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX6ZFGzggs
"He's suppressed his power...I think."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf7WoKwJcM
"Wait, they have a gender?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1XJjwO8XU
"Yeah..." Piravit answered. "It is quite obvious that I'm female. No whiskers, see?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkN7bNQlaS
"I guess.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDRNL6KBB8
"Catherine! Arsenio!" Isabelle says, stumbling her own feet. "A-Are you two alright?"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtgWB0rUak
"I'm good. Not sure about Catherine though."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5trkTezbnY
"Nah, I'll be alright. I don't think he broke anything."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy9VNloAgZ
Nathaniel also approaches them with another tart in hand.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehdpzOX6lv
"Nate! You just had one of those things!"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAwswH38Xm
"I must try every single flavor." He says taking another giant bite.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3fcfHMLip
"..M-Maybe we should g-go.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iMcTV3yXp
"Are you sure? We can just...continue the party as normal.."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsHtxgx0Nv
Arsenio shrugs. "Seems like a plan to me."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG7PfVqD2m
Slowly, the music begins to play. Partners begin to group together. It was like the party was uninterrupted the entire time.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQCMfHvLXf
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.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOYS0FZbOQ
After the party, the Prodigies carried Chrono back into the House of Father Time.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SS0NxSL4b
"Thank you, you four. Hopefully I can get around with solving some of your Timebreaker problems sometime!"
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSwdx6ni2v
"We'd greatly appreciate it. We don't know how strong the next one'll be."
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DoFYR2EoA
Chrono waves them away as they go back to the Sanctuary. Ezra was already asleep when they returned, wrapped up in a blanket.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb3L2r53XM
"Well, we should get some rest too."
Catherine announced.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTe3pS8mWV
"Way ahead of you." Arsenio says, dropping into the bed.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ou0r4Ugl2
Everyone puts themselves to bed for the night, and the Prodigies fall asleep.
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBM7K3w0la
Silently, in the middle of the night, someone's Tempural Energy swarmed the room...
289Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkIpnaAApq
