Introduction
Tippi flew through the empty halls of the castle. If she had feet, her footsteps would have echoed through the stone passages. The one she was looking for should have been the only one left in the fortress. She thought it was a strange place to put a castle; it was on a flimsy-looking excuse of an island in the middle of a lava lake.
"The evil king who lives here must be fond of the heat," she said to herself.
In a hall with a red carpet extending from the door to the torches at the back wall was an unconscious man. This was the man she was looking for.
"Red cap, blue overalls, large mustache. This must be the first hero from the Light Prognosticus, Mario." she flew towards him, and called his name.

Author Note: I think this is the third 100 Themes Challenge based on Super Paper Mario, but it's something easy I can do with only Notepad. I'm currently on vacation, but this is just something to pass the time when there's nothing to do.
Since I'm on a different computer, I don't have the next chapter of Origins or Somewhere to put up. I'm sorry to those who are watching them. Please forgive my lack of chapter updates! I'll post them as soon as I get home. Also, forgive the bad quality of these oneshots. I don't have the time to revise and edit them throughly.
For now, enjoy this!
Side note: This is the 100 pictures challenge layout, not 100 stories.
