"Rise and shine, Prodigies!" Verna's peppy voice awoken the group. "Let's get ready for the coronation of Father Time today!"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1bLnAdTlv
Catherine scratches her neck as she pushes the quilt off. "Coronation?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfZlRmqwrC
"Apparently, a new Father Time is to be crowned today." Nathaniel states, stretching.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryzaypPM6u
"Your mission today is to just watch over the new guy before the celebration begins. Pretty easy, right?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGy0wmx73m
"Wait...our job today is to be a goddamn babysitter?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UuJg2q2ae
"If that's how you view it, yes. But as a reward, you get to go to the after-party!"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZSW9k5ykq
"That at least solves dinner..." Ezra thinks aloud.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8Z5xBQjBw
"Breakfast will be served once you get there, so just put on your clothes and shoes and...look a little presentable.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXmREo0Yl0
"No prob.." Arsenio says. "Let me just get my morning tea before I go.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3N8dIUfwd
"T-Tea?" Isabelle asks while brushing her hair.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtR57SYuon
"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."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSLhLB7vZ5
"...Alright then..." Arsenio says, slowly sitting down and sliding his hands in his coat pockets. "I'll just wait until later then.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5LsiVhG9X
"Is everyone ready?" Verna asks, peeking into the room as she does so.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa2SMncdhb
"I think so.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPd3SavsUw
"Good, good!" she fully opens the doors to let the Prodigies out. "Then, let's go, shall we?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PWZxf6bck
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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9tLSFQyrc
"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."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UhmqyvDtc
"...Is it because he's blonde?" Catherine remarked.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobequqKcki
"... That might have had a influence on the nickname, yes."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyhNnIrDFG
They watched as walked stone faced across to the home of Father Time.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfpiTwjEeQ
"Let's go." Verna says, instructing them to follow Chrono.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTYWyEWZeR
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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxReMr34CR
"Hello?" Catherine waited for a response.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcobkrOSkt0
"J-Just a minute!" A voice called out before crashing and falling is heard. Then, from the stairs emerged Chrono.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaIzLKn7Nu
"Verna, very nice to see you again. And these four might be?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u1N5JMjmn
"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."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7L8m8WY1z2
"I see..."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9j298vwuk
"Thanks again for doing this, guys."
Verna time warps away.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwKLV5SaJZ
"...Which one of you is which? I just don't want to be confused.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz0R3I4Rya
They introduce themselves once again, giving him some clarity.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GtA8CbQB0
"Ah, well it's nice to meet all of you."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihRXOe0384
"Verna t-told us that w-we would have s-some breakfast.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡId4RwkcTcj
"Of course. You've come here quite early, so I'm sure you four are starving."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPlVDOmj0p
"Yeah..." Catherine agreed, lightly holding her stomach.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHed0PE93J
"I thought so. I've prepared something, so don't worry."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi43uThQvN
Chrono brandishes a golden door, which he promptly throws open and reveals some nice breakfast meals, already plated and ready to eat.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMG0UC4rRc
"You m-made all of this yourself?!" Catherine exclaimed, impressed.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79HIZT5RYN
"I was just planning on making food for myself, but I didn't want to be rude.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM172yT1cMj
"It does look rather...delectable..." Nathaniel says, clearing his throat.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdrMERZ363
"Well, shall we eat or watch it get cold?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqQ4ETwXID
The four Prodigies and the Son of Time all sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast, basically wolfing down the entire plate before them.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Sy3mdEz4A
"Man, that was good..." Arsenio says, stretching in his seat.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTbDZmCDfV
"I'm glad you enjoyed. It's very difficult to find people who enjoy similar interests to me."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xfo1vEbEy
"Now what? Do you just read books and whatnot?" Catherine asked, taking the last sip of her drink.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB4Fb84bT0
"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.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnE1EYg3MK
"Then why not join us? From what we've experienced, we certainly need the help." Arsenio asks, leaned back in his chair.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71klh7415M
"I was never suited for things like that, unfortunately..." Chrono sighs. "My Gift is also a little...hard to control."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE1hU5CSfj
"...Can we see it?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWVg4H0Hh8
Chrono begins to rub his arms as guilt and embarrassment threw itself on his face.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJv3jWads7
"You can say no, you know..." Catherine speaks. "No one's forcing you."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzkFuUZNbl
"It's...complicated."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVzGiaSIRI
"That's u-understandable...I have a Gift I can't quite c-control myself..."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeSbGw2i3W
Dawlly immediately pops itself out of Isabelle's pocket with an annoyed look.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt9ftpANDP
"I-It's true..." she looks at Dawlly with the same annoyed look.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI7oPhXTnc
"Interesting.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0mN1op2Pg
"Is there anything else you like to do other than read and fantasize?" Catherine asks.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIvqY5lQYy
"I like to learn more about my Gift."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yg6B8awWP
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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasQLJ6gPie
"O-oh my.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6DEUjwG9D
"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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzwLJhPkDL
"So, what's your Gift? I'm sure you four have gotten one.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0B6Yem5Ql
Catherine nudges Nathaniel. "You show yours first. You're the supposed leader."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAy6MDxYTU
"I have never said that I was a leader..."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87qCBKKZRj
"W-Well..." Isabelle added. "You d-do know the most out of all of us..."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyhlJawhBI
"...Fine.." Nathaniel reluctantly agrees.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tYHV7wynm
First, his arm, then up to his shoulder, until his entire body was covered in armor.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1RZPM15Fv
"You never told me you could do that.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V4p7aOBxs
"I feel as if there is... no need to use the full Gift. It is...uncomfortable.." He speaks from within the suit.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE0FeUecRP
"Well, get the hell out of it then..."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClx6MN5urx
He removes himself from the armor, reverting back to his velvet clothes.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQo4vgwAkf
"Well, since thou wants to assume roles, maybe thou would like to go next, co-leader?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaxF4CBoCH
"Of course you pin this crap on me.." Catherine growled. "But sure, why not?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9reU7sPPzC
She slips through her chair, and all the way through the floor.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYwH55FHXu
It was like she was in her own dimension, her escape from reality. She swam around as she heard the others from above.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguoPgxvFTj
That's when she heard a voice calling her name from the distance.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2mVvobGwW
"Hello?" The voice creepily whispered.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte0Q5WMlV2
"The hell?" She exclaimed. That freaked her out enough to pull herself out of the Phasing dimension.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtzI8ZLDRm
She gasped, as if she was underwater when she crawled out.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cnrEwvGwz
"You alright? You've been in the floor for quite a while..." Arsenio mentioned.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXeHn2kgJF
"...Yeah, something just... freaked me out.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5V2KpMuig
She slides back in her seat...
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v2zV3GDCL
"I-I'll go next..." Isabelle announces. Within seconds, the threads began pulling themselves out of her sleeves.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2YOvECtUq
"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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9moCneo8k
"I just had to wake up today! Is it wrong to get some sleep around here?!"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2eNr96Wld
Dawlly smiles innocently as Isabelle continues to roar.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDvdyELjBa
"Don't worry, I've got this.." Arsenio stands up. "Trust me, my charm is irresistible."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwljUdAJAhv
He grabs her wrists, looks her deep into her eyes..
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotDYwGRQSD
"Ah, great..." Catherine grumbled, rolling her eyes.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnUqN7d5tW
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that you look adorable when you're angry?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkUxZgWwK8
Isabelle, easily flustered and caught off guard, immediately snaps back to her timid self.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyugnBVldjR
"See?" He points out. "It's like a secret perk I have." He starts throwing up two pieces of jewelry.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVwZiWx4VG
Isabelle immediately feels her ears.
"M-my earrings!"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetle8Uvrmo
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."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Y9d4ZSW2L
Isabelle just kept turning red as she puts back on her earrings.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsDkvXNzh3
"So, you yourself do not have a Gift just yet, Arsenio?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7cTKPNEeM
"I haven't really felt anything, so no...I think."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMSY1GD2xv
Outside, bells begin to ring. Chrono looks up at the clock sitting across the room from him on the wall.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtRJ1C4u6o
"Ah...only an hour left..."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjK2c1OcoJ
"Is there anything else thou wants to say to us before thou becomes Father Time?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9nWBcKsP9
"Use your Gift well, and I hope we get to see each other more in the future."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwmKq7nWtU
Chrono smiles genuinely.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEERg2kWDy
"So, what now?" Arsenio says, picking his teeth.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ45SXnbmOn
"Well, if you four are attending the ceremony, you'll have to be properly dressed."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz9uan9t96
"Well, Verna could've told us that earlier.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLH7j8CrBF
"Don't worry, we have a public closet full of gowns and suits for you to wear."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPcDPPKzvo
Chrono stands up, leads them upstairs and pulls open a closet door.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHNDV12VbS
There were attire in every color of the rainbow.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU2lMiBPi2
"Hey, now this is nice!" Catherine says, walking into the spacious closet.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvoXfDmXRK
"Don't be afraid to pick whatever you want!" Chrono says, leaving.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ3Qr5YNrT
Trying to decide what attire to wear, the Prodigies pick the most extravagant and dazzling outfit that fit them the most.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmUGfj3DKx
The four take turns putting on their new clothes, which gleamed and twinkled in the light. Once the four return to the closet.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dHt2v7Nwc
"Looking nice girls.." Arsenio says.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWhpmqbtS9
"These shoes are gonna kill me later, but yeah, thanks.."
Catherine complained.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQCbCcSSMw
"Now that that portion has been completed.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8Xb0qNlrw
Nathaniel grabs Arsenio by the shoulder.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz8eu6Ozv8
"Arsenio. Thou shall come with me."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7schYfNpgx
He drags him away.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0cofNZ2WA
"Hey uh, Nathaniel, what are you trying to do?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPJFLHAXHd
"We must fix this hair of thine.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6gJiS0D4E
"Wait...Nate no, my hair is fine-"
Nathaniel pulls Arsenio outside.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4j9bokP1Q
"Well, it w-wouldn't be too wrong to d-do the same, would it?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR6TTXnYaR
"No, we can take turns doing each other's hair. That seems hella fun!"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uelDnxInZ
"O-okay!"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46owvCDgXD
Isabelle finds some combs, brushes, and hair accessories.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpPtAFT6b9
"N-now, what kind of hairstyle would you want?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmOo0iQuJT
"Something simple, I guess. Not trying to impress anyone.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrNgIY8nVu
Isabelle gets to unbraiding Catherine's hair, carefully and gracefully taking it apart. In the middle of brushing however, Isabelle stops.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3ELWRNhpr
"Uhm...Catherine?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMmNG8oSao
"Yeah?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfPfZUh4ME
"There's a m-mark or something...on your neck.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTarugcHwC
"Huh? What does it look like?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGyeigjgc0
"It l-looks like something scratched you... you didn't g-get attacked b-by anything, did you?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv7i29SVjx
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.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8590LQsN8
"D-Do you have any allergies?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhem8x34xlS
"I'm not supposed to."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmU8FMGAfVf
"...Oh my.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitMlWIgm4B
"I'm not too worried about it... it'll clear up soon..."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcnRt7fpyh
"...If you say so.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo5NRGV0Ct
Isabelle continues to brush and straighten Catherine's hair. Before she knew it, Isabelle was already putting a flower pin neatly upon her head.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr0k8Z3WzX
Isabelle puts a mirror in front of her face. "T-Tada!"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgcLHTuduh
"Oh damn. That's actually really good."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvlHCvqmUM
"T-thank you.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vDyCqhX9D
They switch positions, with Catherine sitting behind Isabelle to do her hair.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBJP1NxnIE
"Is there anything specific you want to get?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ewWuczsMm
"U-Uhm.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHBWXqXenN
"Oh wait, I actually learned how to do this one hairstyle, French roll or something like that?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WOEIQXkdL
"Okay, that one t-then.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFwCwEr4Ya
"Alright."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e8xo1mOqa
Catherine gathers all of Isabelle's hair, pulling it together, wrapping it around itself, until it looks like the hairstyle.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfabQGIedP
"Crap, I don't have any hair pins.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwt1GgKlgYV
"D-don't worry, I have a backup.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pjWWHOHfm
With her Gift, Isabelle sews the updo together until it fits securely, then places her own pin into her head.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTUZsj76X8
"...That works too.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8QdnAo0Qm
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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdxXwg2HR9
"I still don't get why you did this, it was fine as it is.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApkOgVp5zJ
"Trust me, thou would rather look like this."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRv3vhJ9vP
"I see the boys didn't have a good time picking out hairstyles." Catherine taunted.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvrkBfuylU
"T-They do seem to be in a debate.." Isabelle added.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXi4UxMw5C
"It's gonna take forever to put my hair back now.." Arsenio protested.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CkrlTSAqK
"Let's not w-worry about that... we're supposed t-to have fun.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPyMbIzf8g
"Yeah, I guess that's true..."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoUy93DIKU
There was thirty more minutes left. Still plenty of time to waste. Chrono comes back to check on them.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqAlxmLM3v
"Ah, looking exquisite Prodigies!" Chrono praises them. "I'm sure you'll be the best looking ones out there!"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYLr7VTNiu
"Eh, I doubt it, but I feel a lot prettier in this poofy thing.." Catherine flutters the ends of her dress.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYStNvxeOi
"Ah, don't be so modest, you look great!"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l4tOHKyHt
"Well, we still have lots of time. What should we do until then?" Arsenio asks.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoJOgLMVLJ
"Why wait?" Chrono asks. "I can manipulate time at will. I'll just skip time a few minutes.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jKbn7igBL
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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQShuJCqVh
"...That was...strange."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDICdPeFDc2
"Let's go. The ceremony's about to start."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa3iy5nXem
Catherine pushes Chrono out of the door. "We're right behind you, don't worry."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiU6bcRmH8
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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sCz3MgxQu
The crowd begins to applaud as Verna appears behind Chrono. She clears her throat.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpjWdWbFQQ
"Welcome everyone, to Chrono's coronation. It's been a while since we've had one of these, huh?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXr20rnvQHw
The crowd erupted into light laughter.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPfhIizCfg
"Anyways," she continued. "let's get to the best part."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuRtnlBkwf
She turns Chrono around, hold his hands gently.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta3N6jEnpI
"Do you solemnly swear, as long as you live, that you will fairly rule over the Time Realm?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAzAnEkTXU
Chrono silently nods.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7rAt01Jkq
Verna releases his hands, opens her own, and in them, appears an extravagant crown which seemed to glow in the light.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39J8ILVmMX
"Well then," she places it upon his head. "..you are now Father Time."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hTCzEMAOV
Everyone explodes into cheers. The Prodigies couldn't help but clap along.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRdmecTnnB
"Now, let us commence. Grab a partner, for the party is about to begin!"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtF0ZHG6sU
Groups begin to pull apart into parties of two, music begins to fade in.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGycSYysNhx
Catherine feels fluttery from the tension.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimAfhJRsxr
"...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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA2gONGrMz
"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."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EWIslUx2q
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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WDPUpuOod
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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmdmWcDSz8
"Does thou plan to do this at every party?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfTMbMUJcA
Catherine finds the source of the tension. She knew Nathaniel was standing behind her the entire time. Without looking back, she responds.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg6Wd9P0gA
"I don't have anything else to do. Why'd you follow me anyway?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWGGMepqrP
"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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HYYmmkZ1f
"Nate, you dumbass..."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaWZs8GUiP
"Hm?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5W9HKpgIl
"You have jam and crap all over your face.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYOsgzv78O
She pulls a napkin, and is just about to hand it to him, when a voice yells in pain, quieting the party to silence.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRim5mZIeH
"...What's going on?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuOtB6xif1
"I am not sure."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZBNUJVSQW
"...Boost me."

"What?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrBL56YbMr
Catherine struggles to climb up Nathaniel. Once she reaches his shoulders, her eyes catch something unexpected.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlCHmW3Qjn
"It's...Chrono.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPGngMBMO7
The two push participants out of the way.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuJT6Kjg5I
"I was worried about his hands and..." a girl whispered towards them.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SZUUG22KS
"Don't worry, we've got this."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuMohp654x
It seems like his Gift was finally coming into play.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMqZd4F1J3
"Chrono...are you alright?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFcBVJ72VG
Chrono grabs the edge of Catherine's dress to pull himself up.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYwIRsoMg3
"I'm fine, really! My Gift just... activated all on it's own.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENxflVrX9i
As he stands up, everyone could see his Gift's true form. His face was plated halfway with gold, just as his arms were.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUep62XScDT
"But seriously, I'm fine!"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVMmHui13A
More of his face became jagged.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4SUiOOzys
"... Let's go. Nate, you get Arsenio and Isabelle."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP85CBXQjTp
Catherine pulled Chrono away from the party, taking him back the House of Father Time.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4Fo3QbShj
"Okay, Chrono...what happened?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnqhH779TN
"I-I think the stress...plus the demonstration from this morning..."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV54sNV5wt
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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvLJIEpbvU
"C-Chrono? Are you okay?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZbVjeJLvQ
"I-I am f-fine, Prodigies...this is just what happens...It's a little painful, though..."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9iDbBmqLc
More barbs rip around his body, horns even start to curve from his head.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd1ZkX5nbY
"O-Oh goodness.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirK3atwYBU
"I just have to...fight it. I can't hurt anyone if..."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq1hrHJKnI
His breathing gets heavier than stones.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeagfHMEmM
"Is there anyone we can get for help?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGTgeRLQnT
"You don't need to bring anyone. Just...leave before it.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ2GVF1Mej
Without thinking, Chrono threw a glass from a table right beside him.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK0jyWBfbg
"Okay okay! Let's calm down.." Arsenio says, recovering from dodging.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MdwqsslXB
"I-I can't! It's going to..."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNewIrG3mg
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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkZ4tiWYmT
Catherine simply used Phasing to break her fall, diving into the floor.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMfUqCq4Bl
The voice from before called again. "There she is again!"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx5Jx0IXWY
"...Who the hell are you? What do you want?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHYRIjuUiC
She saw a stripe of bright cyan wave past her. Catherine tried desperately to find where the line went.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjcgzIAuYj
"...Behind you.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVMLXGSKHL
Catherine turned around to see the menacing face of a dragon staring back at her. She was about to take a breath to scream.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoYntX5B3X
"Hey, don't scream. I just want to know how you got here."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qLufHpwlQ
Catherine confusingly looks.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnfkjqUotS
"This is my Gift...I can phase through crap like it's water. I broke my fall from a building.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTTTO6SSJT
"Oh, you must be the person I marked yesterday. Makes sense, I guess.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWBA1pSRYH
"M-Marked?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPV7qlfB3N
"That itch you could never satisfy." It points towards Catherine's neck.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrtQX4enTU
"...Wait, that was you?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoawlw11t2
The serpent playfully clears it's throat before bellowing menacingly.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PEzo2Gt3d
"Allow me to become you, and I shall spare your life!"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFKYzkWu4w
"...Do I get other abilities other than falling through stuff?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7uq58JDXq
The dragon shrugs. "I think so?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9QDAXpA1V
"Great. Come on then."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNO6fiMTMC
It phases through Catherine, unlocking a surge of energy and power within her.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFfY1vnzD3
Catherine climbs out of the dimension as the others were looking for her.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6L55jX1fRr
"Sorry if I scared you guys.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEXrabddLO
"Catherine! Y-you're okay!"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZiIR3SFNp
"Yeah, I just got a new friend."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8uAOoVtHQ
The dragon only appeared as a ghost coiled around her body.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPLQj2Md5m
"And her name is?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AzOhCCDpQ
"Not sure.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbdgocgWEK
Like a ghost, the dragon swapped her soul with Catherine's.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2HaHZ47OC
"Piravit. My name is Piravit, the Spiritual Dragon of Phasing. I have chosen Catherine here as my host..."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGca4eJxRyJ
"Thou is...possessing her.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGCfZYl7U9
"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."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOT66WHnawD
"Cool. Now...about him.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrKsD8Brzh
Arsenio points at the shattered window that Catherine fell out of.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj7DCpp4dN
Chrono's roar echoed throughout the realm as he perched on the window.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTIjsSPoP2
"Oi! You have some explaining to do!"
Catherine says as she takes back control of her body.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WVnH3EBQx
"...Catherine, that's the Time Beast!"
Piravit says as a echoing voice inside her head.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCJUeULzTh
"Eh? That's Chrono, that's just his Gift."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboP232jShL
"Like you, he's been marked. If he sees me with you, he'll kill us both!"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDktq3lQjqA
As on cue, Chrono jumps down right in front of Catherine, as if analyzing her. Then with angry aura, throws her again.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZpduhutLv
Catherine hits the ground, tumbling.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCSOgM6uAT
She struggles to pick herself up, as Chrono runs towards her.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYTvnlaS63
"What the hell did you do for him to get pissed off?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSC4ftza0j
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.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtBA91reol
"You have gotta be kidding me!"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLDL4wEgbP
"But don't worry! I'm sure if we beat him, he'll come to his senses!"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0eramf2PL
Chrono pulls a punch towards them, only to be stopped by Isabelle's thread.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBEi5YFDJy
"C-Chrono! You h-have to come t-to your senses!"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tUrsL9FfQ
"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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7cbYCbVXE
"I-I'm sorry...I can't k-keep him still..."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNqeT0EyhG
"It's alright! You've spared me some time!"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLJ0czcSYp
"Let me take over!" Piravit immediately pulls Catherine out, becoming the one in control.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡushYQFKMOJ
As soon as Chrono began a barrage of punches, Piravit pulls away, but was able to only dodge a few before tanking them.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1toql4F84i
"He's way too fast! I can't get a hit on him!"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNSm8hU1aR
As Chrono kept punching her in the chest, Piravit, in Catherine's body, was thinking of ideas, pondering as hard as her breathing.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4Gh1wlyOT
Piravit begins to punch rapidly in response, until the two stop.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABwWL8TqOk
"I have to say..." Piravit states tauntingly. " You've given me quite the workout since I left my dimension-"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKGh1WWSap
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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHAoxod8yU
"So, p-playing dirty are we?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNK3MviYN2R
Chrono responds with an angry, but silent, glare.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5s6He4IsP
"Great, I like games without rules..."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4r53GiR5q
Piravit phases back into the floor. When they return to the Phasing Dimension, the two separate.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnU6vUGv1kg
"Okay, so new plan..."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnShHC16YFE
Catherine coughs as she feels the after effects of earlier.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0U84CGmL9
"You better think of something and fast..."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6TLlm81lE
"There's one last thing we can do, but you have to follow a specific set of rules and-"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbB0iGxnIk
"Nevermind... I'll figure something out.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIdQzETFdW
Catherine jumps from the dimension and behind Chrono, where she sneakily kicks him.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZNSL5yvvH
Piravit follows shortly behind her.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5FXuKWg2q
She kneels down towards Chrono.
"Well? Are you having fun yet? Not fun being attacked without noticing, huh?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2bys7m6dd
Chrono swipes at Catherine's arm, barely cutting her.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CKmDd711n
"...Nah. Didn't think so.." she says, standing up. "Didn't know you'd get this bad.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqX3nRsBhH
She picks him up. "Come on. Let's finish this so you can go back to normal at least. I have things to do.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRAuke6zFd
Catherine stands in a fighting position.
"I'll only use my power alone."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PcFgayRf6
"Then allow me to join you." Arsenio says, standing beside her.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sRcpPnl9A
"What are you gonna do, flirt him to death?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidTLcsXf6n
"I actually had something else in mind.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwdPogsx9g
Arsenio was finally able to conjure a Gift, as an arm cannon faded to fit on top of his hand.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhbhgeyFH5
"I wanted to test this thing, you know?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PYy1KCdko
"...Whatever."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkn0kBvjpeQ
"Come forward..." Chrono says menacingly.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFdBtx8QiE
"Whatever you say, your Majesty."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z0KKcssp8
As the two-on-one began, more of the participants of the ceremony began to watch from a distance.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5IwP0cSCy
"Seems like we've made quite an audience.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L5UeQFURQ
"Let's make this the best coronation the Time Realm has ever seen.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT3AwOLTpE
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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSDGWNEqED
With a sharp yell, time itself began to slow.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiR6IHueTnz
"Damnit! We're stuck until.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4HsyIQmKj
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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlELF5KJ57V
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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFe59XKSfu
"...I don't think we're gonna make it if he keeps stopping time like that.." She says, spitting up blood and standing up.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNHiufS75C
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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSISVSxcze
Catherine jumps up.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkrky5zTZd
"You're welcome!" Arsenio says from afar.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DSeJPRs0s
"Thanks! Keep looking for openings!"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT98Y7dO72
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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarMLygR9YG
"A-alright...you've proven your worth.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zMiSkUylE
"Is this Chrono we're speaking to?" Arsenio asks as his Gift charges up once again and picks Catherine up.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbqiFRiXQR
"I-I'm not sure.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrMw1qrs4F
"Make sure you're sure. I'd hate to hit you with this thing for no reason."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACKlvoDqUk
"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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIssQeGpCa
Chrono shakes his head. "N-nevermind! Let us continue with the celebration, yes?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzovxHvjQr
"To be honest, I'm worn out..."
Catherine huffed. "You're like...crazy strong."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEjKf8BW9g
"I-I'll make it up to you, I swear!"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8p1DHvcyl
Piravit peeks from the floor. "Can I come out now?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lTXEtAzJ3
"Depends.." Chrono says. "Are you willing to take your side of the deal?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJmAznVOUh
"Eep!" Piravit says, coiling itself around Catherine and hiding behind her. "A-Ah! My part of the deal...?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY9kpKcGVT
"You shall give me full entry to your dimension. That was your promise to me."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXraedwmNMZ
"...Fine. But you can't keep using Chrono as a vessel for your battles."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15NHJukK3f
Chrono stares for a second, before hitting the ground, parts of his golden shell chipping off.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUpdhjgcki
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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkLMo7uI9t
"He's suppressed his power...I think."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpU1EwY7kTT
"Wait, they have a gender?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgpJGlZJdE
"Yeah..." Piravit answered. "It is quite obvious that I'm female. No whiskers, see?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CADl1sutG
"I guess.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgGIxmXQfV
"Catherine! Arsenio!" Isabelle says, stumbling her own feet. "A-Are you two alright?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNY2iO8n2Q
"I'm good. Not sure about Catherine though."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqb27q4aro
"Nah, I'll be alright. I don't think he broke anything."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NxKvOPdJF
Nathaniel also approaches them with another tart in hand.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CMipGOFL7
"Nate! You just had one of those things!"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCju967fR8u
"I must try every single flavor." He says taking another giant bite.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaG0sWOXYJ
"..M-Maybe we should g-go.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2IYOJ565h
"Are you sure? We can just...continue the party as normal.."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3XcYeWQNF
Arsenio shrugs. "Seems like a plan to me."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqg4jW6cqb
Slowly, the music begins to play. Partners begin to group together. It was like the party was uninterrupted the entire time.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25yCgchQcx
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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOqTa0ra0E
After the party, the Prodigies carried Chrono back into the House of Father Time.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggcUwYcZTx
"Thank you, you four. Hopefully I can get around with solving some of your Timebreaker problems sometime!"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsfsjAEwvp
"We'd greatly appreciate it. We don't know how strong the next one'll be."
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4UpY4g2zx
Chrono waves them away as they go back to the Sanctuary. Ezra was already asleep when they returned, wrapped up in a blanket.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhRa5fXN1k
"Well, we should get some rest too."
Catherine announced.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQGvQaDFrk
"Way ahead of you." Arsenio says, dropping into the bed.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup5R58JNpJ
Everyone puts themselves to bed for the night, and the Prodigies fall asleep.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnNI18wW46
Silently, in the middle of the night, someone's Tempural Energy swarmed the room...
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcaovDYpl7
