The Diary of a Broken Heart

Chapter one

The early winter wind blew softly against the flowers that were falling helpless to the melody that everything seemed to play; each petal that was on every rose fell with delicacy and hatred. The sun was blazing with rage as the earth continued to not notice the hard work that the fireball put into keeping our realms warm before the first snow storm of the year that was now swiftly approaching. Sitting outside in the cold wind, I was witnessing the flowers wilting with incredible speed, and the tears rolling down my cheeks. Without anything to do during before my match against Jigglypuff and Mario, I decided to enjoy the sight of flowers until the next hour passed with anxiety.

I sighed as the clouds were covering the rays that were saving these small plants from dying. I didn't know what to do, the way I saw it I only had a few options. I could write a letter to my friend… but who would believe that I was fine and not depressed? Another option that left me a little confused is try to remember if I had any friends to contact with the Communication System. Either way those options did me little to comfort me.

I was knocked out of my thoughts as the footsteps of my fighting partner were approaching me. I stood up and faced the Altean whose cerulean eyes were staring at me with worry.

"Hi Marth… are you okay?" I asked, waiting for the huge lecture of leaving the mansion. He flattened his dark blue hair and he began to start the lecture.

"Roy, you know I hate it when you disappear like that! What are you doing anyways?"

"Watching and waiting."

"For what?" he questioned as I stared at the rose that had now lost all of its petals.

"… For our battle what else would I be waiting for? I just decided to watch the flowers die."

"That's disturbing. Anyways, we're next to battle so I would come to the arena with me!"

"Okay, just don't overreact again."

He nodded in understanding and we dashed toward the blank arena where Mario and Jigglypuff waited patiently. Mario was dressed in his usual clothes with his trademark red hat, and Jigglypuff was wearing a huge blue ribbon that looked kind of obnoxious on her. I was happy that I was wearing my usual armor rather than gold otherwise I would've been laughed at. Then Master Hand's booming voice was heard as he announced the challengers.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the first Annual Smash Brothers Melee Tournament!! Today's first match begins with Mushroom Kingdom's finest hero, Mario and the… somewhat cutest pok'emon, Jigglypuff!!"

Master Hand paused and a large roar of applause was well heard. I was already getting impatient with the disembodied hand. The applause stopped and the voice echoed as he announced us.

"And against these two are Marth and Roy from Fire Emblem!!!" he shouted while emphasizing Fire Emblem. There was either little or no applause, I really wasn't paying attention. My only thought was to attack the taunting pok'emon before I went completely insane! "Before we begin the fight, a guest will announce where these smashers will fight today. Brooklyn Chambers, please come down!"

I looked toward the audience and saw a young girl, barely over the age of 15, she had hair that looked like it was fire and she was wearing a lot of blue. She ran down toward the middle of the stage and her emerald eyes stared at all of us and she accessed a large panel.

She grinned at me as she touched the screenshot of a place called Hyrule Temple. Both Mario and Jigglypuff danced to the thought of crushing us, while Marth and I were just looking at each with eyes of destruction. Suddenly the girl, Brooklyn and the audience disappeared and we were at Hyrule Temple. When we got there it took me a few seconds of adjusting to the sunny conditions that had faded while I was outside. The words "GO" were shouted and Marth and I sprinted toward the duo, our swords ready to attack.

I got ready to do a critical hit on Jigglypuff but that stupid puffball had to jump up and do a roll out attack that actually hit me in the back of the head. I realized that it was ready to do a sing attack and I dodged it and finally landed a critical hit on it and it stayed down. I glanced at what Marth was doing, only to see he had lost a life already and he looked in pretty bad shape.

If I haven't lost a life yet and only been hit once then I guess I'm doing better than Marth, I thought as I was hit. I sat up to see Mario ready to throw a fire ball at me. I was hit and suddenly I realized that I was at the edge. Without warning he kicked me and I was falling into the darkness just underneath the temple. I opened my eyes to see that I was back onto Hyrule Temple.

"ROY! GO AFTER MARIO HE IS MORE OF A THREAT THEN JIGGLYPUFF IS!!"

I looked at how much damage the plumber had taken and I was ready to attack when Jigglypuff came under me and tripped me.

Damn it! Why do the small things have to ruin the moment? I asked myself as I charged up enough to create an explosion. With Jigglypuff distracted I ran toward Mario and hit him with my sword.

I then noticed that Marth didn't say anything, I looked around and noticed that all of his lives were gone. He was gone from the match and I was the only one left. While looking at the lives I also noticed that Jigglypuff and Mario only had one life left.

I ran to a small platform under part of Hyrule with an umbrella and began taunting.

The duo darted at me with full speed, and gave no sign of stopping. This made me grin and I jumped over them and they fell onto the platform. I picked up a nearby bom- bom and threw it toward them. They screamed as they flew off the stage and their remaining life was gone… I won the match.

We got back to the tournament board and saw that Marth and I would make it to the next match in a week from now. I was happy; at least that damn pok'emon got what it deserved! I walked up to my room and laid on my bed. I looked outside and saw that it was dark and snowing.

Snow… so mysterious and different, I hate it. Its significance is still missing and the memory that had tortured my mind since I had arrived made me twitch every time I thought about it. I just hope snow in Nintendo doesn't last too long.
