"Rise and shine, Prodigies!" Verna's peppy voice awoken the group. "Let's get ready for the coronation of Father Time today!"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP5gzNEWhy
Catherine scratches her neck as she pushes the quilt off. "Coronation?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTD86lHPgl4
"Apparently, a new Father Time is to be crowned today." Nathaniel states, stretching.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexojwJ16G1
"Your mission today is to just watch over the new guy before the celebration begins. Pretty easy, right?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtkMlfdNfE
"Wait...our job today is to be a goddamn babysitter?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOaGpKqzmz
"If that's how you view it, yes. But as a reward, you get to go to the after-party!"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfi1zxcU2T
"That at least solves dinner..." Ezra thinks aloud.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYXE8SMfBR
"Breakfast will be served once you get there, so just put on your clothes and shoes and...look a little presentable.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhj9z9Z9Ym
"No prob.." Arsenio says. "Let me just get my morning tea before I go.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbr6dBFpJb
"T-Tea?" Isabelle asks while brushing her hair.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttFwLLknnv
"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."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zU3uwr71t
"...Alright then..." Arsenio says, slowly sitting down and sliding his hands in his coat pockets. "I'll just wait until later then.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHplCRX6ck
"Is everyone ready?" Verna asks, peeking into the room as she does so.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSPGQi5fEH
"I think so.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusoU5hU9jr
"Good, good!" she fully opens the doors to let the Prodigies out. "Then, let's go, shall we?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVO9udXxw5
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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3EVztTz4B
"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."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJeheP0qza
"...Is it because he's blonde?" Catherine remarked.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5mbVVtJvw
"... That might have had a influence on the nickname, yes."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzJtB7Za7Z
They watched as walked stone faced across to the home of Father Time.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QqBUid7En
"Let's go." Verna says, instructing them to follow Chrono.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MVVVuTTyB
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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTngVFEN7E
"Hello?" Catherine waited for a response.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRLWLmUdDy
"J-Just a minute!" A voice called out before crashing and falling is heard. Then, from the stairs emerged Chrono.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1mBuqvqv7
"Verna, very nice to see you again. And these four might be?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqzHvFqwIP
"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."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5Rm5oaKzn
"I see..."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviduifKRAj
"Thanks again for doing this, guys."
Verna time warps away.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf5hts78EK
"...Which one of you is which? I just don't want to be confused.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJvh26mlxr
They introduce themselves once again, giving him some clarity.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgl6SfZs67
"Ah, well it's nice to meet all of you."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrbv2p4bK5
"Verna t-told us that w-we would have s-some breakfast.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx27fKF7jbw
"Of course. You've come here quite early, so I'm sure you four are starving."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPeuklaezF
"Yeah..." Catherine agreed, lightly holding her stomach.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTszGInTgNV
"I thought so. I've prepared something, so don't worry."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTn4bNkpxg
Chrono brandishes a golden door, which he promptly throws open and reveals some nice breakfast meals, already plated and ready to eat.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFch8n3Tfd
"You m-made all of this yourself?!" Catherine exclaimed, impressed.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyInoEtLIg
"I was just planning on making food for myself, but I didn't want to be rude.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qdJKTt59R
"It does look rather...delectable..." Nathaniel says, clearing his throat.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9tXkToCm4
"Well, shall we eat or watch it get cold?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgssXQmCqo5
The four Prodigies and the Son of Time all sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast, basically wolfing down the entire plate before them.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPcMakz8qo
"Man, that was good..." Arsenio says, stretching in his seat.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE9zTKuJfF
"I'm glad you enjoyed. It's very difficult to find people who enjoy similar interests to me."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYpbwFq37I
"Now what? Do you just read books and whatnot?" Catherine asked, taking the last sip of her drink.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ifXIR9zuB
"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.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkEUQOFeuW
"Then why not join us? From what we've experienced, we certainly need the help." Arsenio asks, leaned back in his chair.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv4Rl8RUX8
"I was never suited for things like that, unfortunately..." Chrono sighs. "My Gift is also a little...hard to control."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArKCbXSfpy
"...Can we see it?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpi7MzEWws
Chrono begins to rub his arms as guilt and embarrassment threw itself on his face.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswX1oNw2ek
"You can say no, you know..." Catherine speaks. "No one's forcing you."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZo6L2potr
"It's...complicated."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrqorrl3Q7
"That's u-understandable...I have a Gift I can't quite c-control myself..."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7PAaDkH3M
Dawlly immediately pops itself out of Isabelle's pocket with an annoyed look.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW9c63aQAi
"I-It's true..." she looks at Dawlly with the same annoyed look.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBv7McSJwk
"Interesting.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctmoWnoiTu
"Is there anything else you like to do other than read and fantasize?" Catherine asks.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyQGtXThba
"I like to learn more about my Gift."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwlV5EWnI0
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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68gFbiiaH0
"O-oh my.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD76g909Cz
"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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTSzpiANn0
"So, what's your Gift? I'm sure you four have gotten one.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtbC158iME
Catherine nudges Nathaniel. "You show yours first. You're the supposed leader."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKslehXy5xx
"I have never said that I was a leader..."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRIm44DOjV
"W-Well..." Isabelle added. "You d-do know the most out of all of us..."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBm7JhrYgR
"...Fine.." Nathaniel reluctantly agrees.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FxWdKuyki
First, his arm, then up to his shoulder, until his entire body was covered in armor.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5rISxMAFt
"You never told me you could do that.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZR0zB4ii2
"I feel as if there is... no need to use the full Gift. It is...uncomfortable.." He speaks from within the suit.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyECPjORjnj
"Well, get the hell out of it then..."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Gpp069Xhm
He removes himself from the armor, reverting back to his velvet clothes.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vWijJY4Uy
"Well, since thou wants to assume roles, maybe thou would like to go next, co-leader?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS6x8LIzWD
"Of course you pin this crap on me.." Catherine growled. "But sure, why not?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0E09MFb4I
She slips through her chair, and all the way through the floor.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcNVQOLLXS
It was like she was in her own dimension, her escape from reality. She swam around as she heard the others from above.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JfTjtah4w
That's when she heard a voice calling her name from the distance.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqspkxhQzVg
"Hello?" The voice creepily whispered.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWELdMW267
"The hell?" She exclaimed. That freaked her out enough to pull herself out of the Phasing dimension.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnrKhJ8Uof
She gasped, as if she was underwater when she crawled out.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUwHBNDAOm
"You alright? You've been in the floor for quite a while..." Arsenio mentioned.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qIAPhScdd
"...Yeah, something just... freaked me out.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuwJdrnihk
She slides back in her seat...
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TkIkT5Uha
"I-I'll go next..." Isabelle announces. Within seconds, the threads began pulling themselves out of her sleeves.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW0FxcYzLW
"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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd2wFfxSUL
"I just had to wake up today! Is it wrong to get some sleep around here?!"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWimwQAoxN
Dawlly smiles innocently as Isabelle continues to roar.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWWVIprtiM
"Don't worry, I've got this.." Arsenio stands up. "Trust me, my charm is irresistible."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFzqBvFqo5
He grabs her wrists, looks her deep into her eyes..
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe55NgoTJVS
"Ah, great..." Catherine grumbled, rolling her eyes.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYHGWh8Mup
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that you look adorable when you're angry?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW7bobKzN1
Isabelle, easily flustered and caught off guard, immediately snaps back to her timid self.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz2MKsotbe
"See?" He points out. "It's like a secret perk I have." He starts throwing up two pieces of jewelry.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mhEgNhS5N
Isabelle immediately feels her ears.
"M-my earrings!"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNxs4Km0ug
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."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1IVRpdiye
Isabelle just kept turning red as she puts back on her earrings.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjDRDU8Ufz
"So, you yourself do not have a Gift just yet, Arsenio?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5bH2CSAED
"I haven't really felt anything, so no...I think."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnsHi930Hz
Outside, bells begin to ring. Chrono looks up at the clock sitting across the room from him on the wall.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcJeJcb5Z7
"Ah...only an hour left..."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn5zRo3xSP
"Is there anything else thou wants to say to us before thou becomes Father Time?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCl0pCTBD9
"Use your Gift well, and I hope we get to see each other more in the future."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX4nftx8fw
Chrono smiles genuinely.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOi9ywProK
"So, what now?" Arsenio says, picking his teeth.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyiw5RxNOy
"Well, if you four are attending the ceremony, you'll have to be properly dressed."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlojpiEKxe7
"Well, Verna could've told us that earlier.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHjxHTzkj7
"Don't worry, we have a public closet full of gowns and suits for you to wear."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcvLkOicoP
Chrono stands up, leads them upstairs and pulls open a closet door.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMrFVvrP2p
There were attire in every color of the rainbow.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGuzcZBuTh
"Hey, now this is nice!" Catherine says, walking into the spacious closet.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCMVIQA6rI
"Don't be afraid to pick whatever you want!" Chrono says, leaving.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlW4LKyzIE
Trying to decide what attire to wear, the Prodigies pick the most extravagant and dazzling outfit that fit them the most.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbddqkxGVD
The four take turns putting on their new clothes, which gleamed and twinkled in the light. Once the four return to the closet.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7smmcSJIM
"Looking nice girls.." Arsenio says.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVpxGcPMPC
"These shoes are gonna kill me later, but yeah, thanks.."
Catherine complained.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH0Hi9XYUO
"Now that that portion has been completed.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZd6TFOyUW
Nathaniel grabs Arsenio by the shoulder.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHZgL07FEm
"Arsenio. Thou shall come with me."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQLC4Alj9g
He drags him away.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8g7WgnkqD
"Hey uh, Nathaniel, what are you trying to do?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58QRBMX4G9
"We must fix this hair of thine.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FYalHNfDd
"Wait...Nate no, my hair is fine-"
Nathaniel pulls Arsenio outside.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwzNwAbvqG
"Well, it w-wouldn't be too wrong to d-do the same, would it?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqtlH4133s
"No, we can take turns doing each other's hair. That seems hella fun!"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFWFj5CG9B
"O-okay!"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLx7Aq4MUk
Isabelle finds some combs, brushes, and hair accessories.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsB2hQAIXs
"N-now, what kind of hairstyle would you want?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UYHlkobvH
"Something simple, I guess. Not trying to impress anyone.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJKoGeupzL
Isabelle gets to unbraiding Catherine's hair, carefully and gracefully taking it apart. In the middle of brushing however, Isabelle stops.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZdrlrVo3T
"Uhm...Catherine?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvknxIdMtH
"Yeah?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaoupNZu96
"There's a m-mark or something...on your neck.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWu5oVYSp6
"Huh? What does it look like?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw7xqupUoc
"It l-looks like something scratched you... you didn't g-get attacked b-by anything, did you?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZHtGLUDKp
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.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JXMSabpX4
"D-Do you have any allergies?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaay5U4w38U
"I'm not supposed to."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJzPqQ3ukR
"...Oh my.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P1dAwupcW
"I'm not too worried about it... it'll clear up soon..."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH5ayKcZVq
"...If you say so.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e78FzBqHu
Isabelle continues to brush and straighten Catherine's hair. Before she knew it, Isabelle was already putting a flower pin neatly upon her head.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOMUZrrvXf
Isabelle puts a mirror in front of her face. "T-Tada!"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPBKGDrEvg
"Oh damn. That's actually really good."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5zEdgqAz3
"T-thank you.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdt9t0vrUO2
They switch positions, with Catherine sitting behind Isabelle to do her hair.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9Um6LEvyv
"Is there anything specific you want to get?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzCgW85vuD
"U-Uhm.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Rt9VXstZ5
"Oh wait, I actually learned how to do this one hairstyle, French roll or something like that?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8jgZerRZy
"Okay, that one t-then.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaypLIdT5Ap
"Alright."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYxztyufJx
Catherine gathers all of Isabelle's hair, pulling it together, wrapping it around itself, until it looks like the hairstyle.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9moVOAeHgN
"Crap, I don't have any hair pins.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvA25gh1mw
"D-don't worry, I have a backup.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGX5jUNVUh
With her Gift, Isabelle sews the updo together until it fits securely, then places her own pin into her head.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHmRdG6o7s
"...That works too.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnySsSvOJd
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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTzOF9DPxa
"I still don't get why you did this, it was fine as it is.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX48bUIkfgA
"Trust me, thou would rather look like this."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNBfaFxZfn
"I see the boys didn't have a good time picking out hairstyles." Catherine taunted.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aY4Whp15F
"T-They do seem to be in a debate.." Isabelle added.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkh04BWhBK
"It's gonna take forever to put my hair back now.." Arsenio protested.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVnS6hwCpd
"Let's not w-worry about that... we're supposed t-to have fun.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR8B5bI9xy
"Yeah, I guess that's true..."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorgsy6alap
There was thirty more minutes left. Still plenty of time to waste. Chrono comes back to check on them.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx079B2V2ml
"Ah, looking exquisite Prodigies!" Chrono praises them. "I'm sure you'll be the best looking ones out there!"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9lFOPNPh5
"Eh, I doubt it, but I feel a lot prettier in this poofy thing.." Catherine flutters the ends of her dress.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqiAQnzMnu
"Ah, don't be so modest, you look great!"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5ecntsemq
"Well, we still have lots of time. What should we do until then?" Arsenio asks.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zJcaZ0j5t
"Why wait?" Chrono asks. "I can manipulate time at will. I'll just skip time a few minutes.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX0r69m0hs
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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97TCUkB7r1
"...That was...strange."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTByedUacod
"Let's go. The ceremony's about to start."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyNyh5qfVf
Catherine pushes Chrono out of the door. "We're right behind you, don't worry."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6WyfWHp0A
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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlesnAnOPrr
The crowd begins to applaud as Verna appears behind Chrono. She clears her throat.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkruAbaRq6i
"Welcome everyone, to Chrono's coronation. It's been a while since we've had one of these, huh?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVDY5UNsXN
The crowd erupted into light laughter.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhL5VsApwn
"Anyways," she continued. "let's get to the best part."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrX96olzbqq
She turns Chrono around, hold his hands gently.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE2WILUjUJ
"Do you solemnly swear, as long as you live, that you will fairly rule over the Time Realm?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHWTmUG0E8
Chrono silently nods.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oGBzrRsY7
Verna releases his hands, opens her own, and in them, appears an extravagant crown which seemed to glow in the light.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV2B6XgJBY
"Well then," she places it upon his head. "..you are now Father Time."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvojM8hwiQH
Everyone explodes into cheers. The Prodigies couldn't help but clap along.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPJQx2J7CP
"Now, let us commence. Grab a partner, for the party is about to begin!"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlVg6gZVnN
Groups begin to pull apart into parties of two, music begins to fade in.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZBdD8wFSH
Catherine feels fluttery from the tension.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqDYd7iLSo
"...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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVhhgTWCxm
"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."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RVq6XXlVq
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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNooDigbVU
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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDMGkxAu8B
"Does thou plan to do this at every party?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBqYuRC6NQ
Catherine finds the source of the tension. She knew Nathaniel was standing behind her the entire time. Without looking back, she responds.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFwRkt1hkz
"I don't have anything else to do. Why'd you follow me anyway?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabrMlwYgYb
"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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2un19cUqnb
"Nate, you dumbass..."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyyx6w0Y7o
"Hm?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5t8tcYHRh
"You have jam and crap all over your face.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyjcK1LdFW
She pulls a napkin, and is just about to hand it to him, when a voice yells in pain, quieting the party to silence.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSRobVOw2Q
"...What's going on?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoUsCizdeK
"I am not sure."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzYiobKe2G
"...Boost me."

"What?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJc9QvNqlc
Catherine struggles to climb up Nathaniel. Once she reaches his shoulders, her eyes catch something unexpected.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡda3zPQoQSO
"It's...Chrono.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrl7i4InDI
The two push participants out of the way.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdG4TndXpd
"I was worried about his hands and..." a girl whispered towards them.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7R9Cn1YoMg
"Don't worry, we've got this."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWhBOtQMTw
It seems like his Gift was finally coming into play.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nHKppSkhQ
"Chrono...are you alright?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTPA3lO5xJ
Chrono grabs the edge of Catherine's dress to pull himself up.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YWZzOeada
"I'm fine, really! My Gift just... activated all on it's own.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dN8dRQafv
As he stands up, everyone could see his Gift's true form. His face was plated halfway with gold, just as his arms were.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5bKz1DAnP
"But seriously, I'm fine!"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WV2nd4Dut
More of his face became jagged.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa0JyEdxrN
"... Let's go. Nate, you get Arsenio and Isabelle."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53yWVjRAN7
Catherine pulled Chrono away from the party, taking him back the House of Father Time.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYV2FcAIdr
"Okay, Chrono...what happened?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BK3Ws8Az1
"I-I think the stress...plus the demonstration from this morning..."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DXHf3viNh
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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoLSVOX3iE
"C-Chrono? Are you okay?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjwBN9fsgU
"I-I am f-fine, Prodigies...this is just what happens...It's a little painful, though..."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdJfrjqPdZ
More barbs rip around his body, horns even start to curve from his head.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iyk8GNRhJ
"O-Oh goodness.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYzSAqutPO
"I just have to...fight it. I can't hurt anyone if..."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62p0Sn62Db
His breathing gets heavier than stones.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7G2a5N749
"Is there anyone we can get for help?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQKamqZmRm
"You don't need to bring anyone. Just...leave before it.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFwJMFLtdY
Without thinking, Chrono threw a glass from a table right beside him.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1QRxE27HY
"Okay okay! Let's calm down.." Arsenio says, recovering from dodging.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sUq93DLFv
"I-I can't! It's going to..."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS7wmsf3OO
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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOS7ogWrZj
Catherine simply used Phasing to break her fall, diving into the floor.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmjE6lV4pu
The voice from before called again. "There she is again!"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMqRUNXidw
"...Who the hell are you? What do you want?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPnAZYnTu1
She saw a stripe of bright cyan wave past her. Catherine tried desperately to find where the line went.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGfgC2yfGT
"...Behind you.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIIKxtGb3H
Catherine turned around to see the menacing face of a dragon staring back at her. She was about to take a breath to scream.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKweyVRYdH
"Hey, don't scream. I just want to know how you got here."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6N4iooker
Catherine confusingly looks.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZbRR7tKU7
"This is my Gift...I can phase through crap like it's water. I broke my fall from a building.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXmtzuQU2s
"Oh, you must be the person I marked yesterday. Makes sense, I guess.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWNIi6UdB3
"M-Marked?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6YE4Eaa6Q
"That itch you could never satisfy." It points towards Catherine's neck.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NycDovgMY
"...Wait, that was you?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2D66DZbFm
The serpent playfully clears it's throat before bellowing menacingly.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm6Trt6u94
"Allow me to become you, and I shall spare your life!"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmlrWnX7zi
"...Do I get other abilities other than falling through stuff?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrrER5c51g
The dragon shrugs. "I think so?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kUZmzySrc
"Great. Come on then."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUYcjtqoLI
It phases through Catherine, unlocking a surge of energy and power within her.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM2Rf8kr5m
Catherine climbs out of the dimension as the others were looking for her.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39iTgCv28Z
"Sorry if I scared you guys.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot9NeMJhrZ
"Catherine! Y-you're okay!"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbElbxhNtZG
"Yeah, I just got a new friend."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMEeTmh7I4
The dragon only appeared as a ghost coiled around her body.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcfAYlQy0W
"And her name is?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnpfkEdzIA
"Not sure.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkLtC8AgZN
Like a ghost, the dragon swapped her soul with Catherine's.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4VwID1IV4
"Piravit. My name is Piravit, the Spiritual Dragon of Phasing. I have chosen Catherine here as my host..."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL4vVW5ipg
"Thou is...possessing her.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqtmd3vz7i
"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."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI1CtBgGx7
"Cool. Now...about him.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73AhcXxkpm
Arsenio points at the shattered window that Catherine fell out of.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4YVlTzk6k
Chrono's roar echoed throughout the realm as he perched on the window.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2nuOkoMQC
"Oi! You have some explaining to do!"
Catherine says as she takes back control of her body.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VbjfupLkX
"...Catherine, that's the Time Beast!"
Piravit says as a echoing voice inside her head.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9fnq38fwh
"Eh? That's Chrono, that's just his Gift."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtrg31GXHM
"Like you, he's been marked. If he sees me with you, he'll kill us both!"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzOVHOx0VR
As on cue, Chrono jumps down right in front of Catherine, as if analyzing her. Then with angry aura, throws her again.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuTYtUzzss
Catherine hits the ground, tumbling.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSv1KSgHUq
She struggles to pick herself up, as Chrono runs towards her.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDp1GUiS7i
"What the hell did you do for him to get pissed off?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxRL7q60C0
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.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kVxdPgV8c
"You have gotta be kidding me!"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnZyMQgf7G
"But don't worry! I'm sure if we beat him, he'll come to his senses!"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo5bp37hsb
Chrono pulls a punch towards them, only to be stopped by Isabelle's thread.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWcBmrZtvO
"C-Chrono! You h-have to come t-to your senses!"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JmJKQPIPg
"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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBgGYoxlU5
"I-I'm sorry...I can't k-keep him still..."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MPIYxqiCO
"It's alright! You've spared me some time!"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMxIUtL8lw
"Let me take over!" Piravit immediately pulls Catherine out, becoming the one in control.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoFB0OdsGl
As soon as Chrono began a barrage of punches, Piravit pulls away, but was able to only dodge a few before tanking them.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDuJiDGp4H
"He's way too fast! I can't get a hit on him!"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxH7Hon4WW
As Chrono kept punching her in the chest, Piravit, in Catherine's body, was thinking of ideas, pondering as hard as her breathing.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ390wBDE3lV
Piravit begins to punch rapidly in response, until the two stop.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprJn4sMgrb
"I have to say..." Piravit states tauntingly. " You've given me quite the workout since I left my dimension-"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMjGGn9SyQ
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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zk9O6rheR
"So, p-playing dirty are we?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39Vf52vCog
Chrono responds with an angry, but silent, glare.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIsO73Tfdj
"Great, I like games without rules..."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkHlrMA0gk
Piravit phases back into the floor. When they return to the Phasing Dimension, the two separate.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDM2iRHx8a
"Okay, so new plan..."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDiI2n6Gr1
Catherine coughs as she feels the after effects of earlier.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoksnnQhos
"You better think of something and fast..."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqD9krn2V3
"There's one last thing we can do, but you have to follow a specific set of rules and-"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCyyWRc82F
"Nevermind... I'll figure something out.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xIqnqc7oQ
Catherine jumps from the dimension and behind Chrono, where she sneakily kicks him.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCzu4huggu
Piravit follows shortly behind her.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kAGBsnVsb
She kneels down towards Chrono.
"Well? Are you having fun yet? Not fun being attacked without noticing, huh?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwapAia2fyy
Chrono swipes at Catherine's arm, barely cutting her.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndelPOaWQn
"...Nah. Didn't think so.." she says, standing up. "Didn't know you'd get this bad.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq12lmVSKVL
She picks him up. "Come on. Let's finish this so you can go back to normal at least. I have things to do.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z1AzwKQIF
Catherine stands in a fighting position.
"I'll only use my power alone."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhRL5R7ycq
"Then allow me to join you." Arsenio says, standing beside her.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1ejhRmCLA
"What are you gonna do, flirt him to death?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkbj2leiyA
"I actually had something else in mind.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jMkGXND6A
Arsenio was finally able to conjure a Gift, as an arm cannon faded to fit on top of his hand.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDomx9lcCC
"I wanted to test this thing, you know?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8lJ88AkXk
"...Whatever."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuxOhzlcRl
"Come forward..." Chrono says menacingly.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKsWnBInnZ
"Whatever you say, your Majesty."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DnseIQczs
As the two-on-one began, more of the participants of the ceremony began to watch from a distance.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgakR64Zys
"Seems like we've made quite an audience.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyh3ZqYjUX
"Let's make this the best coronation the Time Realm has ever seen.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvoC4x8mO3
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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CAiexwymS
With a sharp yell, time itself began to slow.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDZsSuNiQo
"Damnit! We're stuck until.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWl34eDAbI
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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmaEJ6caWV
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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9sWPbd3w4
"...I don't think we're gonna make it if he keeps stopping time like that.." She says, spitting up blood and standing up.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HPqhomsAP
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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT1naCUj3T
Catherine jumps up.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlikfpPVzSw
"You're welcome!" Arsenio says from afar.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKns3FEgwbL
"Thanks! Keep looking for openings!"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9a9GccKD5w
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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLz0qkStHM
"A-alright...you've proven your worth.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaT9nA6h4a
"Is this Chrono we're speaking to?" Arsenio asks as his Gift charges up once again and picks Catherine up.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGJoiroG7C
"I-I'm not sure.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqa1AWG1D6
"Make sure you're sure. I'd hate to hit you with this thing for no reason."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc96bSKRz1D
"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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqnzrI4kDZ
Chrono shakes his head. "N-nevermind! Let us continue with the celebration, yes?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenICNIGXNj
"To be honest, I'm worn out..."
Catherine huffed. "You're like...crazy strong."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLGhbUI80L
"I-I'll make it up to you, I swear!"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL1BirUXiY
Piravit peeks from the floor. "Can I come out now?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuFKK95BFs
"Depends.." Chrono says. "Are you willing to take your side of the deal?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lyNojpzaW
"Eep!" Piravit says, coiling itself around Catherine and hiding behind her. "A-Ah! My part of the deal...?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouHOm5GtN5
"You shall give me full entry to your dimension. That was your promise to me."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgyV2w9HZN
"...Fine. But you can't keep using Chrono as a vessel for your battles."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkYbQjvxEG
Chrono stares for a second, before hitting the ground, parts of his golden shell chipping off.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYGYY7nUkc
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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6ugrQgO3K
"He's suppressed his power...I think."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXemd27PL3
"Wait, they have a gender?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QTMp8lrC9
"Yeah..." Piravit answered. "It is quite obvious that I'm female. No whiskers, see?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUanum9Fqg
"I guess.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49J8z2F2Z0
"Catherine! Arsenio!" Isabelle says, stumbling her own feet. "A-Are you two alright?"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdgvGtyhSr
"I'm good. Not sure about Catherine though."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvolkrBqIjM
"Nah, I'll be alright. I don't think he broke anything."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva4QhrIvSs
Nathaniel also approaches them with another tart in hand.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayniA5UejS
"Nate! You just had one of those things!"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxo1vMRXSFw
"I must try every single flavor." He says taking another giant bite.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJJspFbMzT
"..M-Maybe we should g-go.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlury7RhuRS
"Are you sure? We can just...continue the party as normal.."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy1OsClePk
Arsenio shrugs. "Seems like a plan to me."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEVIxB6rO7
Slowly, the music begins to play. Partners begin to group together. It was like the party was uninterrupted the entire time.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtxSkKBC45
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.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8sUydJKrD
After the party, the Prodigies carried Chrono back into the House of Father Time.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx7ct9JYGs
"Thank you, you four. Hopefully I can get around with solving some of your Timebreaker problems sometime!"
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzwhpxq3tz
"We'd greatly appreciate it. We don't know how strong the next one'll be."
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq4QRLGftw
Chrono waves them away as they go back to the Sanctuary. Ezra was already asleep when they returned, wrapped up in a blanket.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkWwY0GQJf
"Well, we should get some rest too."
Catherine announced.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVeNdMYo2v
"Way ahead of you." Arsenio says, dropping into the bed.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VY25WWKw1
Everyone puts themselves to bed for the night, and the Prodigies fall asleep.
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6c2n8xjDp
Silently, in the middle of the night, someone's Tempural Energy swarmed the room...
360Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKf5HwVeIb
