Kid Icarus Uprising: Celina's Story

by Kid Icarus Girl

Celina and Pit are inseparable friends. One night, Medusa sends Dark Angels to steal a large source of magic, which happens to be Celina. She is kidnapped, and Pit doesn't reach her in time. Over many years, the stress of war gets to him, and he forgets her. While searching for Medusa, he comes across his long forgotten friend- but will he be able to save her?

1. Part 1

Part 1: The Capture

Pit and Celina had been the best of friends together since the moment they met. They trained side by side, and despite their 'handicaps' as Celina called them, they managed pretty well. Celina had been born blind, but two of her abilities made up for that. If someone opened their mind to her, she could borrow the sight of one of their eyes for a short period of time, or she could see through their eyes, without disabling their sight. Pit could not fly on his own, so he had to rely on the power of Lady Palutena to give him the strength to fly.

One cold, dark night, as Celina slept peacefully, dark angels stealthily crept into Lady Palutena's domain, without a single light angel (or goddess, for that matter) detecting them. They crept along darkened hallways, until they felt a strong magical pull emanating from Celina's room. The angels poked their heads through the doorway, and saw small white wisps of light jump from her fingertips and swirl, before fizzling out of existence. The dark angels knew that she was the source of the magic. They crept up to her, ever so slowly, when one knocked one of her many stacks of books over. They clattered all over the floor, waking up the sleeping angel. She looked about instinctively, then realizing she was blind. She felt a cool hand grab her shoulder, and she screamed as loud as she could.

From across the hallway, in a room adorned with sculptures of his beloved goddess, Pit snapped awake. "Celina!" He called in worry. He sprang out of his bed, grabbed his bow and quiver of arrows, and ran out of his room, white toga flapping.

Before Celina could get up, one of the dark angels gagged her with a rope. Another one tied up her arms, legs and wings, being sure to pluck a few feathers off, making Celina wince in pain. The final angel shoved her into a sack, and the three servants of Medusa flew off, with Celina wriggling around in a stuffy, crude sack, helplessly. By the time Pit reached where the dark angels had flown off, it was too late to save his friend. She was gone.
