Chapter 1

Sister, Sister

Maddie is lying in bed with an old letter in her hand. She let out a sigh.

"Hey, are you okay Maddie?" Starlow asked.

"Yeah. I'm fine," Maddie said, her eyes glued to the letter.

"What are you looking at?" Prince Dreambert asked.

"A letter," Maddie said. "My sister gave it to me two years ago."

"What does it say?" Luigi asked.

"Here," Maddie said as she handed her friends the letter. It said:

Dear Maddie,

I wish I could tell you this in person, but I figured you didn't want to see me. This is probably a bad time to admit this, since our parents died, but I'm running away. Ever since you started to avoid me, I thought that you did not like me as a sister. I ran away to an island where the Pi'illo folk live. If you want to see me again, go to the part of the island where there is a dark forest. I hope I get to see you again. I'll miss you!

Your Older Sister,

Mac

"You did mention something about your sister running away," Mario said.

"Yeah," Maddie said sadly. "When I was hiding my ice powers, I had to stay in my room so I couldn't hurt anyone. Mac used to know about my powers, but when I accidentally hurt her with them the only way to heal her is to make her forget about my ice magic. I would really like to see her again."

"It sounds like she's on this island," Prince Dreambert said. "As for the dark forest, Mac might be talking about Somnom Woods."

"You might be right," Maddie said sounding hopeful. "Let's go see if she's there!" Maddie, Luigi, Starlow, Mario, and Prince Dreambert started to head toward Somnom Woods.

When they made it to Somnom Woods, Maddie turned into a fairy.

"Why did you turn into a fairy?" Luigi asked Maddie.

"I'll know if Mac is nearby if my wings start to glow," Maddie answered.

"That will help us a lot," Starlow said. "Let's start searching." Then they started searching for Mac. They fought some monsters along the way. Unfortunately, as Maddie and her friends continued to search the forest, Maddie's wings did not glow. They searched all day.

"I don't think my sister is here," Maddie said disappointed. "Maybe we should just go back to Wakeport."

"We can't give up now," Prince Dreambert said.

"Yeah," Mario said. "Let's look a little longer." Then they heard a noise.

"What was that?" Luigi asked.

"It sounds like someone is fighting," Starlow answered.

"But who's fighting?" Maddie asked. Maddie and her friends headed in the direction the noise is coming from. After a few minutes, they came into a clearing. In the clearing was a mutant skeleton and a mutant zombie. The two mutants both seem to be fighting something.

"Hey, who's that girl over there?" Prince Dreambert asked. Maddie looked over to see a girl fighting the mutants. The girl has long, black hair and dark skin. She's wearing a dark pink tunic with a red cape coming down to her knees. She's wearing brown leggings and brown boots. Gold armor covers her chest and fore arms. There is a red flower in her hair. There is a white streak in her hair as well. Maddie walked a few steps forward to got a closer look. Then Maddie's wings started to glow.

"Is that your sister?" Mario asked Maddie.

"Yes," Maddie said as she continued to watch her older sister. Mac continued to fight the mutants without noticing Maddie and her friends. Mac used firebending to take out the mutant zombie in a matter of seconds. Then she used a sword and made quick work of the mutant skeleton.

"She took them out in one hit!" Starlow said surprised.

"Mac is a strong fighter," Maddie said. "I watched her fight ever since we were little."

"What kind of powers does you sister have?" Luigi asked.

"Mac can firebend and waterbend. She is also the Fairy of the Dragon Flame," Maddie said. "She also wields a legendary weapon called the Master Sword." Maddie looked over to see that Mac still didn't notice them.

"Mac!" Maddie shouted. Mac finally looked over to see Maddie and her friends.

"Maddie? Is that you?" Mac asked surprised. She walked toward Maddie and gave her a tight hug.

"I missed you so much," Mac said.

"I really wanted to see you again," Maddie said. "I wanted to clear things up about my magic." Maddie told Mac everything about her ice powers.

"So the reason that you hid yourself in your room is because you didn't want to hurt anyone?" Mac asked.

"Yeah," Maddie said. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you about it before."

"It's okay," Mac said. "I'm just glad that we get to see each other again."

Maddie smiled. "Me too!"
