"Rise and shine, Prodigies!" Verna's peppy voice awoken the group. "Let's get ready for the coronation of Father Time today!"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvU3wO23HN
Catherine scratches her neck as she pushes the quilt off. "Coronation?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeSIUcljuN
"Apparently, a new Father Time is to be crowned today." Nathaniel states, stretching.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV03Lptp7m1
"Your mission today is to just watch over the new guy before the celebration begins. Pretty easy, right?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpTh80w5xl
"Wait...our job today is to be a goddamn babysitter?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4K69f1Fo9
"If that's how you view it, yes. But as a reward, you get to go to the after-party!"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv8eMSk6Q5
"That at least solves dinner..." Ezra thinks aloud.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyCumAv4Bu
"Breakfast will be served once you get there, so just put on your clothes and shoes and...look a little presentable.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9awet2vLcN
"No prob.." Arsenio says. "Let me just get my morning tea before I go.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL0El39Fmd
"T-Tea?" Isabelle asks while brushing her hair.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmubN5d0I1B
"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."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHZaaiqxwP
"...Alright then..." Arsenio says, slowly sitting down and sliding his hands in his coat pockets. "I'll just wait until later then.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjyT9NXEJq
"Is everyone ready?" Verna asks, peeking into the room as she does so.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZEEUV6eE7
"I think so.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2C0AFfJ9cT
"Good, good!" she fully opens the doors to let the Prodigies out. "Then, let's go, shall we?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzbH9d9vMH
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTqKkOEEnz
"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."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ70amK0Sp3
"...Is it because he's blonde?" Catherine remarked.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxeNTnmysC
"... That might have had a influence on the nickname, yes."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLnemNVcBk
They watched as walked stone faced across to the home of Father Time.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwWOshIitq
"Let's go." Verna says, instructing them to follow Chrono.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc0uI43p8P
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsV9kKNnorC
"Hello?" Catherine waited for a response.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnZNRzfCZB
"J-Just a minute!" A voice called out before crashing and falling is heard. Then, from the stairs emerged Chrono.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCWtqeKUiW
"Verna, very nice to see you again. And these four might be?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65pFlHeN7F
"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."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j1Kqgx1Bx
"I see..."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInqAfGvmEN
"Thanks again for doing this, guys."
Verna time warps away.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV75eSrdmJW
"...Which one of you is which? I just don't want to be confused.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf1zoVldCW
They introduce themselves once again, giving him some clarity.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPa4tYtzhZ
"Ah, well it's nice to meet all of you."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EEwlcRFuj
"Verna t-told us that w-we would have s-some breakfast.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2uzMHbJYH
"Of course. You've come here quite early, so I'm sure you four are starving."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiaN7G6aD8
"Yeah..." Catherine agreed, lightly holding her stomach.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6IEozKn2m
"I thought so. I've prepared something, so don't worry."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYMVCJm1nI
Chrono brandishes a golden door, which he promptly throws open and reveals some nice breakfast meals, already plated and ready to eat.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97ZUyQUFhG
"You m-made all of this yourself?!" Catherine exclaimed, impressed.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1o2ctbLBdn
"I was just planning on making food for myself, but I didn't want to be rude.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ12stQtQI
"It does look rather...delectable..." Nathaniel says, clearing his throat.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSDuh33wzi
"Well, shall we eat or watch it get cold?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHidW2ynDek
The four Prodigies and the Son of Time all sit down and enjoy a nice breakfast, basically wolfing down the entire plate before them.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYeQ6Awd33
"Man, that was good..." Arsenio says, stretching in his seat.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTtZCcpmbn
"I'm glad you enjoyed. It's very difficult to find people who enjoy similar interests to me."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwqsD9bRqk
"Now what? Do you just read books and whatnot?" Catherine asked, taking the last sip of her drink.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHalW5pYYH
"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.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1ZNOswzb9
"Then why not join us? From what we've experienced, we certainly need the help." Arsenio asks, leaned back in his chair.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HNLvIqNX8
"I was never suited for things like that, unfortunately..." Chrono sighs. "My Gift is also a little...hard to control."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9bMrV7WZ7
"...Can we see it?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBlCRhSer9
Chrono begins to rub his arms as guilt and embarrassment threw itself on his face.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUfTeqw7qH
"You can say no, you know..." Catherine speaks. "No one's forcing you."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaW8qFRd7u
"It's...complicated."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkazY7jVRN
"That's u-understandable...I have a Gift I can't quite c-control myself..."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKP11R73fuq
Dawlly immediately pops itself out of Isabelle's pocket with an annoyed look.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQzB9TMtib
"I-It's true..." she looks at Dawlly with the same annoyed look.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHHSBr6VNm
"Interesting.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42iQJZ4DNF
"Is there anything else you like to do other than read and fantasize?" Catherine asks.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH3FV6UrcB
"I like to learn more about my Gift."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJQwwhbRHX
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eBC9gXP37
"O-oh my.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWetsXSSWx
"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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaP6A1OjuhX
"So, what's your Gift? I'm sure you four have gotten one.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4Lyx5GdYK
Catherine nudges Nathaniel. "You show yours first. You're the supposed leader."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tSKKkBaWa
"I have never said that I was a leader..."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRwDTvzFkC
"W-Well..." Isabelle added. "You d-do know the most out of all of us..."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvHjEekISA
"...Fine.." Nathaniel reluctantly agrees.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGI1rmFpDW
First, his arm, then up to his shoulder, until his entire body was covered in armor.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ98gMtsSd3
"You never told me you could do that.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdlgRlsZdf
"I feel as if there is... no need to use the full Gift. It is...uncomfortable.." He speaks from within the suit.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6jqHwDdoW
"Well, get the hell out of it then..."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB1OcQihIo
He removes himself from the armor, reverting back to his velvet clothes.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcAkmKdiDM
"Well, since thou wants to assume roles, maybe thou would like to go next, co-leader?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuwE7eLXcd
"Of course you pin this crap on me.." Catherine growled. "But sure, why not?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl54NXi4mz
She slips through her chair, and all the way through the floor.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsTqlMQ05x
It was like she was in her own dimension, her escape from reality. She swam around as she heard the others from above.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgggIwqboX8
That's when she heard a voice calling her name from the distance.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKY6UOY15m
"Hello?" The voice creepily whispered.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQjQd7Me7f
"The hell?" She exclaimed. That freaked her out enough to pull herself out of the Phasing dimension.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfJzTlNdCx
She gasped, as if she was underwater when she crawled out.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPjKqRZD7D
"You alright? You've been in the floor for quite a while..." Arsenio mentioned.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PsdXBSeDr
"...Yeah, something just... freaked me out.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5RIgwJ8Ly
She slides back in her seat...
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQKbEoP7rN
"I-I'll go next..." Isabelle announces. Within seconds, the threads began pulling themselves out of her sleeves.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4I57q7Oed
"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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR6Pe1GbRc
"I just had to wake up today! Is it wrong to get some sleep around here?!"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VfwKsJTzf
Dawlly smiles innocently as Isabelle continues to roar.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi6YC30sn5
"Don't worry, I've got this.." Arsenio stands up. "Trust me, my charm is irresistible."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4M4f8VwLL
He grabs her wrists, looks her deep into her eyes..
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHcjU2AZTG
"Ah, great..." Catherine grumbled, rolling her eyes.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5dWSmhmwm
"Didn't anyone ever tell you that you look adorable when you're angry?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIpJLZhqz7
Isabelle, easily flustered and caught off guard, immediately snaps back to her timid self.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLarFOSTnYd
"See?" He points out. "It's like a secret perk I have." He starts throwing up two pieces of jewelry.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa50fUvPyPK
Isabelle immediately feels her ears.
"M-my earrings!"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfQY0YPSEU
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."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLywrj63Hn
Isabelle just kept turning red as she puts back on her earrings.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebLZCR69xe
"So, you yourself do not have a Gift just yet, Arsenio?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaqpwAjrO8
"I haven't really felt anything, so no...I think."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wjzkqA0EA
Outside, bells begin to ring. Chrono looks up at the clock sitting across the room from him on the wall.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntodu0nVCJ
"Ah...only an hour left..."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqU7yl2kQJj
"Is there anything else thou wants to say to us before thou becomes Father Time?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxHKbUadGR
"Use your Gift well, and I hope we get to see each other more in the future."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgFzOnC2f7
Chrono smiles genuinely.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBExcRMlcnn
"So, what now?" Arsenio says, picking his teeth.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzj0ogLaeN
"Well, if you four are attending the ceremony, you'll have to be properly dressed."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTeDpeE1SY
"Well, Verna could've told us that earlier.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm766veiJuV
"Don't worry, we have a public closet full of gowns and suits for you to wear."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0OUUYlYuH
Chrono stands up, leads them upstairs and pulls open a closet door.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGVAL4KOFT
There were attire in every color of the rainbow.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofrhljyJTg
"Hey, now this is nice!" Catherine says, walking into the spacious closet.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc8OO5Lggj
"Don't be afraid to pick whatever you want!" Chrono says, leaving.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd7VV8zSrN
Trying to decide what attire to wear, the Prodigies pick the most extravagant and dazzling outfit that fit them the most.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Yx4grDdhV
The four take turns putting on their new clothes, which gleamed and twinkled in the light. Once the four return to the closet.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtJ17L61pn
"Looking nice girls.." Arsenio says.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PpJG5n9v7
"These shoes are gonna kill me later, but yeah, thanks.."
Catherine complained.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS98DloXXuP
"Now that that portion has been completed.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ha2grkgie
Nathaniel grabs Arsenio by the shoulder.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAvkHI3Y8V
"Arsenio. Thou shall come with me."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIoRahGgo4
He drags him away.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxWWkp8TLw
"Hey uh, Nathaniel, what are you trying to do?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA3kDRm7KF
"We must fix this hair of thine.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w0qRns0YC
"Wait...Nate no, my hair is fine-"
Nathaniel pulls Arsenio outside.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ps5wdyQcL
"Well, it w-wouldn't be too wrong to d-do the same, would it?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHnbeadjyz
"No, we can take turns doing each other's hair. That seems hella fun!"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxfJSGoKHT
"O-okay!"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi7z7ZmJ56
Isabelle finds some combs, brushes, and hair accessories.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0BwOq5skW
"N-now, what kind of hairstyle would you want?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlD0HnnR5LN
"Something simple, I guess. Not trying to impress anyone.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkPM0vHV2v
Isabelle gets to unbraiding Catherine's hair, carefully and gracefully taking it apart. In the middle of brushing however, Isabelle stops.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigagFylexo
"Uhm...Catherine?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpXL6EQY2Z
"Yeah?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYMJFgA3aW
"There's a m-mark or something...on your neck.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlN8WurEnP
"Huh? What does it look like?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNFxkDkNfS
"It l-looks like something scratched you... you didn't g-get attacked b-by anything, did you?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2zgoAzLBN
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.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciWFrPUHSn
"D-Do you have any allergies?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWdGU6cGzu
"I'm not supposed to."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBPZ8lzBNR
"...Oh my.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJbwVrS4jz
"I'm not too worried about it... it'll clear up soon..."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99NRngsoMU
"...If you say so.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr0sxu3uL4
Isabelle continues to brush and straighten Catherine's hair. Before she knew it, Isabelle was already putting a flower pin neatly upon her head.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oiSbG1Fua
Isabelle puts a mirror in front of her face. "T-Tada!"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡben0BfgxHF
"Oh damn. That's actually really good."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXYPdAUHFk
"T-thank you.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvjRafB3v0
They switch positions, with Catherine sitting behind Isabelle to do her hair.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqMvnX0sgs
"Is there anything specific you want to get?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfJfA6IbiY
"U-Uhm.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbrJ7wEKCs
"Oh wait, I actually learned how to do this one hairstyle, French roll or something like that?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOmwemIjBP
"Okay, that one t-then.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedzg43lLKF
"Alright."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4U0eHEkrH
Catherine gathers all of Isabelle's hair, pulling it together, wrapping it around itself, until it looks like the hairstyle.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUsGKkpEoH
"Crap, I don't have any hair pins.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9uhoMkt3v
"D-don't worry, I have a backup.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwq4ogPNEv
With her Gift, Isabelle sews the updo together until it fits securely, then places her own pin into her head.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TD6ANjEFJ
"...That works too.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID6IVmxEka
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBirU5OUBe
"I still don't get why you did this, it was fine as it is.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkejCc5xn3
"Trust me, thou would rather look like this."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X247IWx1K
"I see the boys didn't have a good time picking out hairstyles." Catherine taunted.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWanmLP3l6x
"T-They do seem to be in a debate.." Isabelle added.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SEV0JkH0q
"It's gonna take forever to put my hair back now.." Arsenio protested.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJyTEKZ7kS
"Let's not w-worry about that... we're supposed t-to have fun.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48rE1vJqCq
"Yeah, I guess that's true..."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolal3EKpaM
There was thirty more minutes left. Still plenty of time to waste. Chrono comes back to check on them.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7oSg7JT5A
"Ah, looking exquisite Prodigies!" Chrono praises them. "I'm sure you'll be the best looking ones out there!"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb3PNthInd
"Eh, I doubt it, but I feel a lot prettier in this poofy thing.." Catherine flutters the ends of her dress.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDowEsBiL3f
"Ah, don't be so modest, you look great!"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e78U57fIs
"Well, we still have lots of time. What should we do until then?" Arsenio asks.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7jh9ybK4h
"Why wait?" Chrono asks. "I can manipulate time at will. I'll just skip time a few minutes.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayI3At8UmO
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbDTa0rlUN
"...That was...strange."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5uY0adhwP
"Let's go. The ceremony's about to start."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKK4kzyFN3
Catherine pushes Chrono out of the door. "We're right behind you, don't worry."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0r5sF2K9Q
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtElsp5YHw
The crowd begins to applaud as Verna appears behind Chrono. She clears her throat.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxN4SNFBXQ
"Welcome everyone, to Chrono's coronation. It's been a while since we've had one of these, huh?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GsatzDp4x
The crowd erupted into light laughter.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cpR3HH1YW
"Anyways," she continued. "let's get to the best part."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9yGmupnpz
She turns Chrono around, hold his hands gently.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEoBOu9QIk
"Do you solemnly swear, as long as you live, that you will fairly rule over the Time Realm?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3Qlcn6SOS
Chrono silently nods.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiKQJfVs1t
Verna releases his hands, opens her own, and in them, appears an extravagant crown which seemed to glow in the light.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhqyCKUKu1
"Well then," she places it upon his head. "..you are now Father Time."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkD9YJJkNW
Everyone explodes into cheers. The Prodigies couldn't help but clap along.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUUXCxBAeu
"Now, let us commence. Grab a partner, for the party is about to begin!"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZO31OvhVq
Groups begin to pull apart into parties of two, music begins to fade in.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKPWAlgyFP
Catherine feels fluttery from the tension.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX60bpMQFV
"...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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPfG6nU0Om
"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."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOLDDszQDk
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWDHeH1FG0
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsiaeYFArq
"Does thou plan to do this at every party?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk5O1zwUNk
Catherine finds the source of the tension. She knew Nathaniel was standing behind her the entire time. Without looking back, she responds.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxNyoVrHYt
"I don't have anything else to do. Why'd you follow me anyway?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTbOfXZeqv
"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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJ8snI8afc
"Nate, you dumbass..."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqArHEY3BgP
"Hm?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbSFTHAae8
"You have jam and crap all over your face.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFMyzTwkoU
She pulls a napkin, and is just about to hand it to him, when a voice yells in pain, quieting the party to silence.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0la1N3EZbG
"...What's going on?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ov3r0VQH2
"I am not sure."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGdLVP0WqE
"...Boost me."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjuHjbRebe
"What?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHovquky8C
Catherine struggles to climb up Nathaniel. Once she reaches his shoulders, her eyes catch something unexpected.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEVdCH3vYx
"It's...Chrono.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzgtIECdKL
The two push participants out of the way.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu377drch7Z
"I was worried about his hands and..." a girl whispered towards them.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfYOqzZFzh
"Don't worry, we've got this."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQztKBgtmX
It seems like his Gift was finally coming into play.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KcX7jtwA6
"Chrono...are you alright?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K5LcEjpka
Chrono grabs the edge of Catherine's dress to pull himself up.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedKapQrUon
"I'm fine, really! My Gift just... activated all on it's own.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBnQtP4wUH
As he stands up, everyone could see his Gift's true form. His face was plated halfway with gold, just as his arms were.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebICIByYJe
"But seriously, I'm fine!"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz952NLVSYw
More of his face became jagged.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOhKmsUCHj
"... Let's go. Nate, you get Arsenio and Isabelle."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdNo9vyA21
Catherine pulled Chrono away from the party, taking him back the House of Father Time.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TdwgwWBB4
"Okay, Chrono...what happened?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg4PKg2IS8
"I-I think the stress...plus the demonstration from this morning..."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSHbxG1U3Z
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVMQZaUIDz
"C-Chrono? Are you okay?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQurvF02Ty
"I-I am f-fine, Prodigies...this is just what happens...It's a little painful, though..."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKpGtWnTbZ
More barbs rip around his body, horns even start to curve from his head.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FM7U9L8UY
"O-Oh goodness.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EnAhWI7sx
"I just have to...fight it. I can't hurt anyone if..."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HOEMeOU1i
His breathing gets heavier than stones.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2WPiQnbf9
"Is there anyone we can get for help?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2YG7fo2yX
"You don't need to bring anyone. Just...leave before it.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1MtCW6Mjt
Without thinking, Chrono threw a glass from a table right beside him.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oTCTYEyLd
"Okay okay! Let's calm down.." Arsenio says, recovering from dodging.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEiYIdBxC1
"I-I can't! It's going to..."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SP9VBV50M
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMMARfsxwu
Catherine simply used Phasing to break her fall, diving into the floor.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcjJGSQ4zf
The voice from before called again. "There she is again!"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2ephrixZo
"...Who the hell are you? What do you want?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmD4Zhgzb6
She saw a stripe of bright cyan wave past her. Catherine tried desperately to find where the line went.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK21kiNLE4
"...Behind you.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8ps8qQFJz
Catherine turned around to see the menacing face of a dragon staring back at her. She was about to take a breath to scream.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCniI5NBuV
"Hey, don't scream. I just want to know how you got here."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pRQL6DFnA
Catherine confusingly looks.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvYQvyk24n
"This is my Gift...I can phase through crap like it's water. I broke my fall from a building.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvNXzWWC1m
"Oh, you must be the person I marked yesterday. Makes sense, I guess.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PyIqP0MUT
"M-Marked?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRAaYicZDo
"That itch you could never satisfy." It points towards Catherine's neck.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5jB9eAuVK
"...Wait, that was you?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0Kb5VquR8
The serpent playfully clears it's throat before bellowing menacingly.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK3ireQpxi
"Allow me to become you, and I shall spare your life!"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUOKbItydP
"...Do I get other abilities other than falling through stuff?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcC3yfxGPQ
The dragon shrugs. "I think so?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1Z3snVr9K
"Great. Come on then."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlu9I8AMsb7
It phases through Catherine, unlocking a surge of energy and power within her.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7u0OCUHBme
Catherine climbs out of the dimension as the others were looking for her.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUoDfcxzX1
"Sorry if I scared you guys.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0WPV0xVIA
"Catherine! Y-you're okay!"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwYDIfpGx7
"Yeah, I just got a new friend."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SQteUhE56
The dragon only appeared as a ghost coiled around her body.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFN0nMWVko
"And her name is?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ie6kZeNcS
"Not sure.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzUa3VEG5p
Like a ghost, the dragon swapped her soul with Catherine's.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPUg3Cupup
"Piravit. My name is Piravit, the Spiritual Dragon of Phasing. I have chosen Catherine here as my host..."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgTHhhDYYX
"Thou is...possessing her.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2k2pLUrHl
"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."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyinPdAiorY
"Cool. Now...about him.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXdZfoHhwP
Arsenio points at the shattered window that Catherine fell out of.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqy6e4OiMff
Chrono's roar echoed throughout the realm as he perched on the window.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46Hi5FMjEY
"Oi! You have some explaining to do!"
Catherine says as she takes back control of her body.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFTW4TfnDs
"...Catherine, that's the Time Beast!"
Piravit says as a echoing voice inside her head.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIglNJRv0BJ
"Eh? That's Chrono, that's just his Gift."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvggSHouKPJ
"Like you, he's been marked. If he sees me with you, he'll kill us both!"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUPIr1HFwL
As on cue, Chrono jumps down right in front of Catherine, as if analyzing her. Then with angry aura, throws her again.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6AZrLfD3G
Catherine hits the ground, tumbling.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NBHvSHVKn
She struggles to pick herself up, as Chrono runs towards her.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODFQfdHDnl
"What the hell did you do for him to get pissed off?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoUYbnz9o6
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.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpTJLycVH3
"You have gotta be kidding me!"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIVSSWsUyf
"But don't worry! I'm sure if we beat him, he'll come to his senses!"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC6MmVm1aP
Chrono pulls a punch towards them, only to be stopped by Isabelle's thread.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogJl1fZn56
"C-Chrono! You h-have to come t-to your senses!"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefdjXUQnXG
"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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFh9Ec3DbE
"I-I'm sorry...I can't k-keep him still..."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFInrzQeAM
"It's alright! You've spared me some time!"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWt60AzF2i
"Let me take over!" Piravit immediately pulls Catherine out, becoming the one in control.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzvmv2iDyH
As soon as Chrono began a barrage of punches, Piravit pulls away, but was able to only dodge a few before tanking them.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO8AAJLeF4
"He's way too fast! I can't get a hit on him!"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfUEUPQZ9g
As Chrono kept punching her in the chest, Piravit, in Catherine's body, was thinking of ideas, pondering as hard as her breathing.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDQqsWh22K
Piravit begins to punch rapidly in response, until the two stop.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFBCDZQgTE
"I have to say..." Piravit states tauntingly. " You've given me quite the workout since I left my dimension-"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQuARc97xk
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qzSM49mMA
"So, p-playing dirty are we?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFGSlEerPD
Chrono responds with an angry, but silent, glare.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Plrt0H0O8
"Great, I like games without rules..."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhPY9zzLeD
Piravit phases back into the floor. When they return to the Phasing Dimension, the two separate.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkePZq2GYU
"Okay, so new plan..."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyajU2uBor
Catherine coughs as she feels the after effects of earlier.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7fP9ub7x8
"You better think of something and fast..."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCf5bD3cJp
"There's one last thing we can do, but you have to follow a specific set of rules and-"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8Ovdisncg
"Nevermind... I'll figure something out.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwGyGLcnFA
Catherine jumps from the dimension and behind Chrono, where she sneakily kicks him.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZsYrkgi03
Piravit follows shortly behind her.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi8ZhuNiXQ
She kneels down towards Chrono.
"Well? Are you having fun yet? Not fun being attacked without noticing, huh?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT06dX0cQJ
Chrono swipes at Catherine's arm, barely cutting her.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4G1WECUoSZ
"...Nah. Didn't think so.." she says, standing up. "Didn't know you'd get this bad.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIXcBTIGjL
She picks him up. "Come on. Let's finish this so you can go back to normal at least. I have things to do.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwbhfWc7Xy
Catherine stands in a fighting position.
"I'll only use my power alone."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpykIdzrW7
"Then allow me to join you." Arsenio says, standing beside her.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqTJji8eRJ
"What are you gonna do, flirt him to death?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwYiaOiedC
"I actually had something else in mind.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mmrmQ7Xhw
Arsenio was finally able to conjure a Gift, as an arm cannon faded to fit on top of his hand.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZel4HOl5nD
"I wanted to test this thing, you know?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS7piJAN33
"...Whatever."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAf6of1PQM
"Come forward..." Chrono says menacingly.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGU3kzmhcL
"Whatever you say, your Majesty."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qrjClyGe0
As the two-on-one began, more of the participants of the ceremony began to watch from a distance.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0USqFP9uX
"Seems like we've made quite an audience.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAwP84xiB5
"Let's make this the best coronation the Time Realm has ever seen.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPffElasVlj
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jJ2oPKO4Q
With a sharp yell, time itself began to slow.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVx7laRdZS
"Damnit! We're stuck until.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOIIZHyxms
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLg6BuNNbS
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf94eYR1lq8
"...I don't think we're gonna make it if he keeps stopping time like that.." She says, spitting up blood and standing up.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6roVy55IBO
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkU3kWT3Wu
Catherine jumps up.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVBHAErwHa
"You're welcome!" Arsenio says from afar.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE09t5ojhUJ
"Thanks! Keep looking for openings!"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLIHzR6t8E
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP25HajKC7G
"A-alright...you've proven your worth.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp6h5lHoII
"Is this Chrono we're speaking to?" Arsenio asks as his Gift charges up once again and picks Catherine up.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iyYtyysC6
"I-I'm not sure.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3Kv2GteCl
"Make sure you're sure. I'd hate to hit you with this thing for no reason."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12WRd7hfWB
"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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfID4ODcOd
Chrono shakes his head. "N-nevermind! Let us continue with the celebration, yes?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWtcMa2wbm
"To be honest, I'm worn out..."
Catherine huffed. "You're like...crazy strong."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStCoECXbU5
"I-I'll make it up to you, I swear!"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWo55knXaL
Piravit peeks from the floor. "Can I come out now?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWVPJp5jkH
"Depends.." Chrono says. "Are you willing to take your side of the deal?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQKOhJAUVQ
"Eep!" Piravit says, coiling itself around Catherine and hiding behind her. "A-Ah! My part of the deal...?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJk6one1em
"You shall give me full entry to your dimension. That was your promise to me."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhckWXTsgLs
"...Fine. But you can't keep using Chrono as a vessel for your battles."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf0ar4GCsV
Chrono stares for a second, before hitting the ground, parts of his golden shell chipping off.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1G1us3Phs
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYOmNCnnOs
"He's suppressed his power...I think."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSNbmnXr7B
"Wait, they have a gender?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1OftmE57N
"Yeah..." Piravit answered. "It is quite obvious that I'm female. No whiskers, see?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCrw1xDNRG
"I guess.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ9U5QfH0R
"Catherine! Arsenio!" Isabelle says, stumbling her own feet. "A-Are you two alright?"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABUsA4irMd
"I'm good. Not sure about Catherine though."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UfAjZGF8K
"Nah, I'll be alright. I don't think he broke anything."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4MMozjJyp
Nathaniel also approaches them with another tart in hand.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV3x8dEAjN
"Nate! You just had one of those things!"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXAF0T1cYF
"I must try every single flavor." He says taking another giant bite.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iCgh36OmD
"..M-Maybe we should g-go.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvC9yQLEEB
"Are you sure? We can just...continue the party as normal.."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y3G5zt8pN
Arsenio shrugs. "Seems like a plan to me."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPhWevUOSV
Slowly, the music begins to play. Partners begin to group together. It was like the party was uninterrupted the entire time.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxNKBiF5uG
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.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYa6LSEcVj
After the party, the Prodigies carried Chrono back into the House of Father Time.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzftRocusxN
"Thank you, you four. Hopefully I can get around with solving some of your Timebreaker problems sometime!"
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w6bGxMS1f
"We'd greatly appreciate it. We don't know how strong the next one'll be."
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZszluIdaq
Chrono waves them away as they go back to the Sanctuary. Ezra was already asleep when they returned, wrapped up in a blanket.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG8Jh2ec7u
"Well, we should get some rest too."
Catherine announced.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheBjto81ma
"Way ahead of you." Arsenio says, dropping into the bed.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIMEPnWK3H
Everyone puts themselves to bed for the night, and the Prodigies fall asleep.
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0D8Zxq5l6s
Silently, in the middle of the night, someone's Tempural Energy swarmed the room...
247Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnQ3TOcq0f
