HI! I just wanted to clear up a few things! Gods ad Angels age differently. In my stories, 1000 years old would be equivalent to a 1 year old human child. It goes on from there. Pit is 13,000 in my stories, and Viridi is 10,000 just to make their age gap a little smaller. Viridi would be 10 and Pit would be 13 if they were humans. Also, I do not ship Pit and Palutena in this story, they love each other as family! Palutena is a mother figure to Pit! I ship Pit and Viridi, haha. Alright, that clears it up I think, enjoy! :)

Chapter 1

Angel

The dirt was sinking and absorbing every piece of water that fell from the sky. The long thirst of the plants were finally sufficed from the giant amount of rain. Not a soul was out. Not a soul, but Palutena's. Palutena was out on her daily stroll. She'd take strolls everyday, admiring the world. It was good to get away from the constant disputes between Light and Darkness. Medusa, the monster of darkness, could be so irrational. It was awful to work with her. She would often complain about the tiniest things and was a sucker for power. Palutena would often savor every chance she got to get away from her manipulative counterpart. On her strolls, she'd also pick up any litter or trash she would see invading nature's territory. Gods were very aware of the pollution problem, and weren't intentional or careless litterbugs. They all knew the importance of the Goddess of Earth, especially since she was pregnant with the Goddess of Nature. All of the gods depended on these goddesses because without them, there would be nothing to be the god of. But sometimes, very rarely, they would leave their litter for Palutena to find and pick up. As she was walking, she spotted a brown bag on the floor that she could've easily missed if she wasn't looking. It was camouflaged with dirt in the ground. Palutena picked up the bag to discover it's heaviness. She opened the bag, peeked inside, and greeted herself to a baby. A small, baby boy. In astonishment, she quickly grabbed the baby out of the bag and examined it. It pearl white wings, chocolate brown hair, and beautiful sky crystal eyes. Palutena looked around to see who could commit such a crime. Leaving a baby in a paper brown bag, covered in dirt. Palutena decided to take the angel as her own. She couldn't afford to have any god find out about this, especially Medusa. The gods did not treat the angels well at all. In fact, gods saw angels as merely objects and lives to be wasted. Angels were adopted like dogs from puppy mills. The Angel adoption center kept their angels in terrible conditions. Families were split up and put into sections; babies, kids, teenagers, adults, and elderly. Babies and kids were taken away from their mothers. They'd then carve into their skins numbers that told them that they belonged to the center. They slept in cramped rooms, barely had any food, and angels would often die from disease from the terrible conditions. Palutena knew that the baby boy would be taken away from her, and sent to the horrible center until she could fully adopt him. And the process wasn't a one time thing, it took years and years. By the terrible conditions, the baby would be dead by the 3rd day. Palutena decided to take the baby and hide it. She looked under the bag to find the word,"Pit" written on it. Palutena decided the name of the baby would be Pit. After all, he was found in a Pit.

Palutena came home from her stroll, all drenched. She quickly ran up the stairs hoping that Medusa didn't notice her presence. Sadly, she did. She was very intrigued by the rushing of Palutena. She decided to follow her and discover her secret. She peeked through the door only to see Palutena wrapping a baby in a blanket. Not just any baby, but an angel. Medusa gasped, leaving Palutena to notice her presence. They both screamed in terror and astonishment, causing Pit to cry.

"Palutena, what the bloody hell are you doing?" Medusa exclaimed furiously.

"Medusa… This isn't what it looks like." Palutena replied, shaken.

"What it looks like? What it looks like? It looks like you stole an angel from the adoption center!" Medusa assumed with fire in her voice.

"What? No! I didn't steal a thing! I found this baby all alone! In a bag! On my walk!"

"Idiot! You're supposed to return it!"

"He's not an it. His name is Pit."

"You NAMED it?"

"He already had a name. You can't say anything about this, you know what'll happen to him."

"Do I give a damn? Are you stupid? This is illegal, and you can't take care of a kid."

"Medusa, please! I am begging you, why would you want to harm a child?"

"You're so soft, you're willing to bend the law? You're stupid, Palutena. Absolutely ignorant. You're lucky you have me."

"I'm lucky?"

"Did I stutter?"

"Okay, fine. I'm lucky. Please don't tell?"

"I am not your partner in crime."

"Medusa, please!"

"… Fine."

"Thank you, Medusa. Isn't he just the cutest, look at his beautiful eyes!"

"Mhm…"

"And he smiles so much!"

"Mhm…"

"He's the dearest!"

"Mhm…"

The rambling went on until Medusa left the room. When Medusa had gone, Palutena got into her bed and cuddled with her new baby. The baby giggled and blushed with joy. Lady Palutena put the baby close to her as she fell asleep. The soothing body warmth and motherly aroma made Pit fall asleep in bliss. The two slept happily and contently; both having the best sleep they ever had in years.

Chapter 2

Battle

The morning was bright. Everything was bright. The sun, the flowers, the animals, even the air was fresh. Everything seemed beautiful… Until a certain green haired goddess looked down only to see her baby angel missing. In fury, she sprang out of her bed and went right into Medusa's room.

"Where is he?" Palutena fiercely asked.

"Where's who, dumbass?" Medusa responded, irritated with the way Palutena entered.

"PIT! WHERE IS HE?"

"I turned him in."

"YOU SAID YOU WOULDN'T!"

Just then, if things couldn't get any worse, Zeus walked into the room of the bantering women. Palutena glared into his eyes, while he looked at Palutena with disgust.

"Zeus…" She stalled. "Please, give Pit back to me."

"Palutena," Zeus began. "I can't do that. You have to adopt an angel."

"Zeus, you know what they do to angels! It's awful! I will take care of him, please!"

"Palutena, angels aren't gods. You can't simply just take care of one like it's your own. If you'd like Pit, you will have to agree to have him serve you forever. As part of your army."

"B-but… I'd have the possibility of.. Losing him…" Palutena replied, wet eyed.

"Yes… I suppose. If you can't agree with that then-"

"Alright alright, that's fine! Just please, let me have custody over him.."

"… Alright then. I put your baby in my chariot, you can get him out."

Palutena rushed passed him without even hearing the last few words. It was like rush hour. She rapidly opened the chariot door and snatched Pit right out of it. She held him tightly and his crying ceased. Everything then began to slow down. The fast pace of time transitioned back it's normal tempo. Peace was restored at last. But not for long. Medusa swore on getting revenge on her counterpart. Medusa was very close minded. She couldn't accept the fact that Palutena won and she didn't. She was sure o find ways to be horrible to her, one way or another.

Chapter 3

Tragedy

It was golden with a ombre orange at the very tip. It was the perfect flower for her. The ever so beautiful goddess that gave him a place to live, love, warmth, and company. She gave his life meaning. Never had he wanted to do anything else in his life except to see her wonderful smile. It was the perfect gift for Lady Palutena, his mother-like figure. It would've made her smile. It would've made her proud of his find. It would've made him feel good about himself. It would've been the best gift if it hadn't of been destroyed by the centurions playing soccer. Their ball pulverized the beautiful image, crushing the child's wonderful reverie. The angel's jaw dropped. He couldn't believe the centurions could be so careless. He was ready to burst into tears. It was as if his life was ruined. One group of centurions playing soccer noticed his distress. He cued the other team to hold the game so he could tend to the child's sadness.

"Oi, you okay, Pit?" The centurion said, bending down to his level.

"Y-y-you all destroyed the flower I was going to give Lady Palutena…" The only four thousand year old angel said. "It was going to make her real happy…"

"Oh… Sorry kid." The centurions looked around to see if there would be something better to give her. Then, one of the centurions had a glorious epiphany.

"Hey kid," He snapped, "remember what you showed us the other day? Show that to her, I bet she'd be so proud of you!"

"Yeah! But wait…" The blue eyed angel hesitated. "Lady Palutena says to never go up that high… She says I should wait until I'm older."

"Pit, she said that last year. You were three thousand nine hundred ninety-nine. She will be so proud to see you can do that so young."

"You think so?"

"I know so, squirt! Go ahead and get a head start, we'll get her for ya."

"Okay… Thanks, guys! This'll be great!"

The centurions ran as fast as they could into the temple while the eager little Pit looked for a great place to set off. He found a high cliff that'd be perfect. He was so ready to please Lady Palutena, and so ready to show her what he could do. He fluffed up his wings, tilted them, and spread out his arms. He made a bunch of backwards steps, then waited for Lady Palutena to arrive. Once The centurions brought her out, he waved to her and started to run. He ran all the way off the cliff, and in seconds, he was flying. He flew through clouds and passed many birds; a very normal sight to Palutena. All was going swimmingly, until he took things a sudden turn. He elevated in height, causing Palutena to worry. She called his name, saying that he was going too high. She said it many times, but Pit knew what he was doing. His surprise was so show Lady Palutena how high he could fly. Pit was told never to fly above the clouds, for he was too young. His lungs weren't able to take it as they were not fully developed yet. As he was getting hirer, Palutena called for him even more. She called and called, but Pit was determined to make it. He rapidly flew above the clouds, and was blinded by the sun. Since he couldn't see, he didn't believe that he was above the clouds. He decided to fly higher. Palutena screamed louder and louder to her baby; tears now visible in her eyes. His chest was hurting. It felt like it was going to burst. And by heavens they were if he wasn't able to fly back down. But he kept on going. Tears were visible in his eyes. Everything felt so hot, this wasn't the way it felt when he flew the other day. "Lady Palutena… Help me…" Pit started to say, as if she could hear him. He said it again, and then again. None of his calls were heard, nor could he be pulled out. He was too far out of sight. Palutena couldn't even see him. He was officially in the sun. Finally visible, he fell out of the sky on fire. He crashed into the ground creating a gigantic crater. Screaming and crying, Palutena ran to her baby. She vigorously grabbed him and shook him trying to get him to wake. He didn't budge. Medusa heard all the yelling and stood outside, looking at the pitiful site. Palutena turned her head, revealing her misery to her counterpart. Medusa simply gave off a subtle grin and turned around. Palutena swore she could see her mouth the words, 'karma.'She'd confront Medusa later, but for now, her baby was dying. And she couldn't bare to see him in such agony. She scooped her baby up and ran to the Divine though gods were holy, and didn't get sick, they could still be injured or affected by pollution. She burst through the door and screamed. They saw the battered body of the baby and rushed him into the Emergency center. There, Palutena waited for her baby, holding her chest and crying all night.

Nights turned into days. Still no word about her baby. The goddess sulked on her couch, unable to do anything. She was in the same pajamas for days. She never took a shower, and she never got up. She wouldn't even accept food or heart offers from her centurions. Even some of the gods tried to come to her temple and help her through her aching. But alas, they were no help. Medusa was doing all the work around the temple, causing her to get extremely annoyed by the laziness of her counterpart. She had decided that enough was enough. She burst into the room, violently grabbed the blanket, and pushed Palutena off the bed. The green haired goddess grabbed her head after hitting it on the cold marble floor.

"What… The actual… Fucking hell… Is wrong with you?" She looked up at Medusa with fire in her eyes and voice. Palutena was the epitome of a goody two shoes. She would never dream of cussing. She never had until now. This threw Medusa into a sudden shock, but she got over it quickly.

"More like what the hell is wrong with you, bitch?" Medusa said, already knowing the answer.

"You know what is wrong with me, now get the hell out and leave me alone." Palutena was about to sock her in the face.

"Dude, shut up. This is your punishment. You should've never been able to won Pit."

"He is my baby!"

"He's an ANGEL. Angels are worth NOTHING. His life is worth nothing, it's not that hard to grasp, and he is certainly NOT your child-"

"SHUT UP, YOU SNAKE!"

Palutena snapped. She slapped Medusa right in the face leaving her check red. Medusa was blown about ten feet away due to the impact. She tumbled right to the ground. Only after all of that had Palutena realized what she had done. She covered her mouth and was dumbfounded. This wasn't the goddess of Light. She had become just like Medusa-a monster full of sin.

"Medusa… I am so sorry… I-I"

"Shut it… You will never get away with this, Palutena. I've officially lost all respect I ever had for you…"

"Medusa, you were saying awful things…. I"

"You had to punch me? You're no goddess of Light. Do you realize what you've become? You're a monster, just like me."

"No… That's not true…"

"It is true, you're a monster. I hope your idiot angel sees that in you as well."

And with that, Medusa left the room. Palutena would never forget that day. It would stick with her forever. Medusa and Palutena's relationship was already rocky, but this created some new scars that could never be forgotten.

A few months passed, and Palutena finally got the call she was waiting for. They informed her that Pit was going to be okay, and he had awaken from his coma. But there was one thing wrong with him, and they needed to discuss this with her. Palutena teleported to the hospital, and grabbed Pit. She held him close to her chest and he cuddled up with her.

"Oh Lady Palutena, how I've missed you, I always dreamed about you!" Pit said, with joy written all over his face.

"My sweet baby Pit, I have been so alone without you…" Palutena held him closer. He rustled out of the tight hug and looked up at her. She noticed this, and looked down only to see his disappointed face. Tears rolled down his eyes. "What's wrong, my baby?"

"Lady Palutena… Haven't you *sniff* Haven't you… Heard the news?" Pit started. Palutena blinked in confusion.

"I'll never be able to fly again."

Palutena was shocked. Tears were now fully visible streaming down her face. "W-well sure you will.." She began, "We can easily go to the reset spring or you can take the drink of the gods or…"

"No Lady Palutena… They tried that… They tried it all…"

Lady Palutena didn't say anymore.

They both cried the whole day.

Chapter 4

Learning To Accept

Lady Palutena was glad to have Pit back, but he wasn't the same. He wasn't cheerful, naïve, dumb, and clueless as he usually was. He was a depressed little angel with no hope left in him whatsoever. Lady Palutena tried her hardest to cheer him up, nothing would work. And the constant teasing he got from the Centurions was help either. They'd tease him about him not being able to fly. It really got to him. Everything did.

Finally, Lady Palutena convinceed him to do something. She suggested that he should go on a walk. He got up and walked right out of the temple. He walked right into the vast valleys. The centurions were about to warn Lady Palutena about this, but Lady Palutena told them not to interfere. "Let him find his own way." She said.

Pit got to the end of the 4th tiny hill before falling down into a deep, dark, ditch. He landed right on a rock and started to cry. His cries were interrupted by the rock. It started to get up, leaving Pit on the ground. It then revealed it's lizard-like face and it's long scaly body and tail. His breathing was irregular, and though he looked frightening, he still had a very drowsy vibe. He stared into the sky-blue eyes of the angel.

"What's your problem," he began, "Why are you crying? You're not hurt!"

"It's nothing…" Pit replied, looking to the floor.

"It obviously is something if you're crying!" The giant lizard said, even more furiously.

"Leave me alone already!" Pit said with a hint of irritation in his voice.

"You're in my den, so why don't you just fly away already-"

"I CAN'T FLY. There, happy now?"

Silence came among the two.

"Y-you're an angel and y-you can't fly..?" The dragon asked, legitimately confused.

"Yes, and you don't have to tell me the things I already know. I'm useless, I'm a chicken, I'm a freak, I'm a mistake, I'm no used to Lady Palutena anymore, I have heard it all!"

"W-w-what? N-no, listen kid." The giant lizard said, getting comfortable by laying down. "Have they tried everything to fix your wings?"

"Yes…"

"Then how about you take my best piece of advice. Change what you can't accept and accept what you can't change. Have you ever heard of an angel who can't fly? I haven't. That's unique, that's what makes you you. You're so special, no other angel has that!"

"How can I accept this? I am useless to Lady Palutena… And I'm not normal…"

"You have legs, right?"

"Yeah…?"

"There you go! You don't need to be able to fly in order to be an amazing warrior."

"True… But I want to fly… I'm not normal…"

"Tell me, what is normal?"

"Um… Well… Being like everyone else..?"

"Like everyone else? But everyone else is different? If everyone was the same, that'd be boring, don't you agree? Like if all flowers were back and white, wouldn't you get bored?"

"Yeah…"

"Kid, being normal is overrated. Nor is it even real. And there has to be one way for you to fly, there's always a way. Even if it takes a super long time, you'll fly again, I'm sure."

"No, I'll never be able to fly. The doctor said I wouldn't ever be able to, so I won't."

"You can't walk."

"Uhh… What?"

"You can't walk, I don't believe you can walk!"

"I can…? Here see!"

the little angel too up and took 5 quick steps. He then took a seat in front of the dragon, ready for anything he had to say.

"So you can walk! Why is it any different if I tell you you can't walk, and a doctor tells you you can't fly?"

"Because the doctor is trained to know all that stuff…"

"Ah, but the doctor told me I wouldn't live longer than 5 years, and here I am. I've lived for 20,000 years now."

"Wow…"

"See kid, the thing is, I changed what I couldn't accept. Who are you to tell me I can't do something, huh?"

"Hehe, yeah! I will be able to fly one day! I will I will I will! I'm going to find a way, no matter what!"

"That's the spirit, kid! Good fo-Arrg!"

The giant lizard winced in pain, and then fell on his left side. His head followed. His eyes were tightly shut, and he put his paw over the terrible pain. The little angel, worried, came to his aid.

"What's wrong?" He said with every bit of worriment in his tone.

"Kid, my time has officially come. I wanted to be alone today but uh… You came along."

"Time? You're dying? No! You can't!"

"Kid, I'm tired, and old…"

"But you've helped me so much, there must be something I can do for you…"

"You wanna do something for me? Here's what you can do. Never ever let anything get to you and what you want."

"Okay…"

"And don't mourn or be sad, kid. We literally just met 5 minutes ago."

"hehe, okay. Goodbye, friend."

"Goodbye, pal."

And with that, the dragon silently closed his eyes. Pit could feel his soul just fly away from his body. The angel sat in silence for a good solid hour just staring at the lifeless body. He Finally, he was able to get up and leave the cave. When he got out, it was already dark. He started up the hills he came on and revealed himself to Lady Palutena. She cried out and hugged Pit, worried of what could've happened to him. Pit was looking down at the ground. Palutena assumed nothing had changed. She stroked his milk chocolate hair, concerned about his depressed state. Then, Pit looked up at Palutena, revealing the biggest smile she had ever seen. Seeing that smile made Palutena more happier then she ever could've been.

"I'm going to find a way to fly, Lady Palutena," he began, "No matter what!"

"Oh, Pit… You definitely will be able to. And you know what, I can give you the power of flight! Of course, it only last for 5 minutes…"

"Oh, that's alright, Lady Palutena! I'm not going to be using it forever! I'll be able to fly on my own one day!"

"I believe it with all my heart, Pit, I really do. Now come on, let's go home."

"Lady Palutena… What's for dinner?"

"We haven't even gotten home yet, Pit."

"Well when we do, what's for dinner?"

"Pit?"

"Yes, Lady Palutena?"

"Shut up, or we'll have you for dinner."

"WHAT? Wait… Ugh, you got me again…"

"You'll always be my little gullible angel, Pit. Always."
