So here is the first chapter of my second story. Lately I've been into Pit alot, so thats why I did this, that and a dream I had.
Anyway I don't own this, blah blah blah.
The sun rose high above the clouds on this beautiful morning in Skyworld. Pit looked out the window of his marble home, which was situated on its own cloud. Few centurions were up yet this morning.
Throwing off his covers (made of material as light as a cloud (1)) he stood and stretched before heading to the bath to prepare for his day. If there was one thing he liked about his house, it was one of the few things that made it different from all the others: the bath. The others in Skyworld had to share a large bath with all the others. Of course they did have the separate male and female bath but still. He used to feel bad about this because not even his two angel companions had their own baths, but nothing could be done and he got over it.
He got into the waiting bath he knew would be warm, and let the water soak into his skin. Baths always helped relax him, and made him feel better overall.
It had been many years since the battle with Orcos and since then there hadn't been any trouble. Pit knew that the peace wouldn't last long; it never did. So to make sure nothing took them off guard he made sure the Centurions and his two angel companions, also known as his captains, kept in top shape. However today was one of those days that he felt they all needed a break, besides he had an audience with Lady Palutena today. He knew what it would be about and he knew it wasn't good: he was in trouble again.
You see after the battle with Orcos everyone knows he lost his wings but luckily for him the Goddess of light was able to restore his wings. Unfortunately for him she couldn't completely restore them so they are too small to fly with without the help of Lady Palutena. This irritated Pit greatly so he had figured out that he could still glide and did so. This annoyed Lady Palutena because when he did this he always got stuck on the ground and she had to bring him back, it wasn't hard for her, but it tended to interrupt her in the middle of something important or just something she wanted to do, and it made her worry about him.
Hopping out of the bath and throwing on his clothes he glanced at the clock. "Oh no I'm late! Lady Palutena is going to kill me!"
He ran out the door and jumped to the main cloud. He ran past several centurions who all said "Good morning general" in the same tone. Most of the centurions were all muscle and weren't very smart, even the ones who weren't muscle weren't very smart.
Then right in the only path to Lady Palutenas temple stood Echo and Eris (2). Now don't get me wrong, it wasn't that Pit didn't like the siblings, it's just that they can tend to be…. troublesome. They both enjoyed teasing Pit when he was in trouble with the Goddess of light, nothing really mean, but definitely irksome. Also they would probably figure out that he was late, and try to make him even later.
As nothing could be done he tried for a straight speedy shot through the two but they wouldn't have it. Echo grabbed Pits arm as he attempted to rush by. "Hey there Pit, watcha doin?" but his tone said he clearly knew.
Pit took a deep breath and faced his captains "Hi guys, I have an audience with Lady Palutena, and I kind of need to get going." With that he jerked his arm from Echos grasp and tried to move on, but now Eris stepped in his path.
"So why do you have this audience Pit?" she snickered a little.
"No particular reason." He tried to move on again.
"Oh come on Pit, Lady Palutena never has an audience without a reason, and everyone knows that nothings been going on in the humans' or gods' worlds lately" Eris said.
"sooo you have to have done something." finished Echo.
Instead of trying to deny it and ending up even later Pit decided to admit it and move on. "Yea I did something."
"So what did you do?"
"I was gliding again, and I really need to go now." He jumped around Eris and dashed towards the temple. If he really hurried she might not be angry, it's not like she gets angry easily. He ran past the guards he had stationed outside the temple, and slid to one knee before he'd even stopped running.
"You're late!" she said without turning around.
'Oh great she's angry.' "I'm sorry my lady."
"That doesn't matter. You know why you're here."
"Yes Lady Palutena."
"You know you aren't supposed to glide."
Pit lowered his head farther "Yes ma'm"
"Why did you do it then?"
"Because I…um…I uh… I guess because I wanted to Lady Palutena."
"What kind of a reason is that? I never want to see or hear of you doing this again! I swear, one of these days you're going to get yourself in trouble, and when you do I'm not going to take you back up here, or listen to you or talk to you!"
"I-I'm sorry Lady Palutena."
"Oh Pit" she said walking over to him. She smiled and said "you can get up now."
Relieved that his mistress' slight anger had passed Pit stood "Thank you Lady Palutena."
"It's okay Pit. You can go now." she then headed out towards her garden, to listen to the humans' prayers.
Pit got up and walked outside admiring the cloud formations in the distance. He had watched them for hundreds of years, and yet they still seemed beautiful to him. By now most of the centurions were out and enjoying their day off.
He spotted Eris' and Echos blond heads bobbing around as they played a form of bad mitten, and headed in their direction. Today they weren't wearing their armor since they had the day off, but more of a toga sort of thing instead. However they always wore their studs, Eris her gold ones and Echo his silver.
After a few minutes Eris won their game "Ha! I won." She smirked at Echo.
"Well I would've won if the sun hadn't been in my eyes!"
"Yeah right, the sun is above our heads idiot."
Pit decided to end this fight before it really developed "Hey you guys."
They both turned and looked at him. "So how did your audience with Lady Palutena go?" asked Echo.
"Fine" they stood there and looked at each other for a minute before Echo caught Eris' eye and she nodded.
"So Pit, you wanna watch me and Echo have an air race since you can't fly?" Eris asked.
Pit made an angry grunting sound "I can to." He grumbled
"Yeah whatever, so will you?"
"I guess."

"Okay so the starting point is up here, on the temple spire. Fly around it ten times and whoever gets back to this point first wins." Both of them nodded."Okay on your mark, get set, GO!"
The two angels took off flying around the spire very fast. They knew that just watching them fly was making Pit jealous. "Hey Pit you should join us!" Echo shouted.
"You shouldn't say that sort of thing Echo! He can't fly remember?" Eris shouted back
"Oh yeah, sorry Pit, I forgot you're a flightless angel!"
"I told you guys! I can fly!"
"Sure."
"Whatever."
"Fine I'll show you!" Pit jumped up and spread his undersized wings. He closed his eyes for a minute and thought 'I'm sorry Lady Palutena, just this last time.' He jumped off the roof and began to glide, aiming towards another building. But as he glided towards that building, he realized that some centurions were working on their archery, and he was heading right towards their arrows. He panicked and pulled up his wings, not thinking, an instantly began to fall straight through the clouds and to the ground.
"Should we go grab him?" Echo asked looking at Eris.
"Nah, Lady Palutena will rescue him I'm sure." she replied.

Lady Palutena stood in her garden, tending her flowers and listening to peoples' prayers. Today there were lots of prayers and praises coming to her from the humans, and it gave her a warm feeling inside.
But then all the voices stopped and the warm feeling went away. The flower she had been tending at that time wilted as a dark feeling crept up inside her. She could almost feel the underworld army starting to crawl out of their hole. She had to get Pit. Now.

Pit pulled himself up off the ground and shook off. "It's a good thing that angels are hard to injure because even after I managed to slow my fall with my wings, I probably would've gone splat if I was a human, right Lady Palutena?" He joked, figuring that this would calm her down a bit before he asked her to bring him back.
No reply. "Lady Palutena?" He stared up nervously and raised his voice a level. "Lady Palutena! Can you hear me!" still no answer. "Helllooooooo!" his tone began to get panicky. "Lady Palutena this isn't funny anymore, please stop it!" Now he was really scared "Please…. PLEASE ANSWER ME LADY PALUTENA!"
AVA
"Eris, Echo, where's Pit, I need to speak with him immediately and he isn't answering my telekinetic call for some reason." She would get him for that later but it wasn't important right now, as long as she found him.
"Um.. well… you see…" Echo stuttered.
"We goaded him into gliding again, and he fell to the Overworld." Eris said.
Echo straitened up "We're very sorry my Lady."
And in an instant Lady Palutena realized just what she had unintentionally done. "Oh no."
1. A bit cliche I know but I couldn't help myself.
2. Much thanks to Epic Networks for letting me use these two OCs.
So is it any good? I was thinking of putting Magnus in, so what do you think about that, should I or shouldn't I? Anyway R&R and have a great day.
