Palutena rested back in the hot spring, completely at ease with the situation around her. "You have a visitor," a Centurion told her. "Who?" Palutena asked. "The nature goddess," the Centurion told her. "…Send her in," Palutena requested. Viridi's here? I don't know what could possibly bring her… she thought.
She was still in thought when Viridi arrived. "My, haven't you grown?" she said as she noticed her. Although Viridi was actually really old, she often assumed a childish body to match her personality. Goddesses could change their appearance at will, and Palutena was always curious as to why Viridi stayed as young as she did. Viridi responded, "Typical. I always thought you were a sister to Pit. Now I see you're more of a mother." Palutena shrugged. "Why don't you join me?" she asked. Viridi looked at the hot spring, and shrugged.
Viridi hopped into the hot spring, and took a deep breath, clearing her mind. "My, were you eavesdropping on Pit back then?" Palutena asked. "…NO! I just agree with him on how to enjoy a hot spring!" Viridi answered, contradicting herself. "Viridi, if you hadn't eavesdropped, you would have no idea what I just said," Palutena pointed out. "…Argh! This is why I try to kill you!" Viridi cursed. "Aren't those spars?" Palutena asked. Viridi looked blank for a second, and sighed. She exited the hot spring, completely dry as usual. "Where's Pit?" she asked. Palutena thought for a second, and told her, "He went out exploring. He likes to comb the world for stuff he missed on his last adventure." Viridi sighed. It was then a Centurion barged in.
"So sorry to disturb you, Lady Palutena, but it's an emergency!" he said. Viridi looked uncomfortable, and edged away. "No, feel free to stay, Lady Viridi," the Centurion assured, and Viridi stopped. "Pit's been captured," he said. Palutena gasped, but Viridi was stone cold. "Lady Viridi?" the Centurion asked. Viridi said only two words. "Rise, Artemis!"
Short, but this is merely an introduction to the story.
As stated, Pit has been captured by... well, the description says this part for me. Viridi's words are important (let's face it, it's a Title Drop), but how so? Think of all the Artemises (is that the plural of Artemis?) you know, and tell me if you can figure it out.
Also, anyone know a catchy signout based on Kid Icarus? My normal one doesn't quite fit ancient Greece...
Summer belongs to you, so carpe diem...!
