Kid Icarus Legacy

(A/N sorry it took so long for me to write this, I've been really busy lately. Anyhow, Enjoy!)

Chapter 2

Pain. That was the first thing I felt. Before I saw anything, there was pain. Before sound, pain. Before scent, pain. Before taste, pain. Before touch…well, you get the idea. I opened my gritty eyes to see…White? It took a couple seconds for my brain to register what it was seeing: the ceiling of a hospital room.

I sat up on the bed I was laying on and the pain came right back to me, stronger than ever. It was so sharp, yet dull at the same time. I now could tell were the pain was coming from: in between my shoulder blades. I felt in between my shoulder blades to feel were the pain was. Suddenly, I felt mortal terror grip me, It wasn't what I felt, it's what I didn't feel: my wings. They were gone! Only very bad burns were they used to be.

"Oh good, your awake!" I heard an unfamiliar voice say. The voice belonged to a doctor who apparently was in the room the whole time I was getting my bearings. "I was worried you might never wake up!" "Where am I?" My voice sounded groggy and coarse; likewise, it felt rough and sore. "The hospital, a couple found you out cold on the beach." The doctor said. "What beach? Where?" I coughed a couple of times on my arm where I coughed there was blood

"Manhattan obviously!" I now found out that this doctor thought I lived in New York. 'Wait…' I thought to myself 'IM IN NEW YORK! THE BIG APPLE! BROADWAY! TIME SQUARE! ECT! ECT! The place I've wanted to go for over 40 years! And I was here! But on the downside, I might have to stay here. Well, that wouldn't be so bad.'

"Umm...Sir?" said a female voice. A nurse poked her head through the door. "The patient has a visitor" "Well…let him in." "HER sir, it's his sister." I was confused. 'Sister? I don't have a-'But before I could finish my thought, my "sister" walked in. She was very pretty with black hair, and violet red eyes, I didn't honestly believe those existed!

"Oh there you are! I was so worried!" before I knew what happened she hugged me. However, she touched the scar and the pain came back 'OH COME ON! THE PAIN WAS ALMOST GONE!' I thought to myself as I cried out in pain. "Oh! Sorry! …Psst! Your mother sent me to get you" she whispered in my ear. "I'm a new centurion class Valkarie" I had heard of an elite group of female centurions called the Valkaries, but I'd never seen one before. I was relieved that my mother had sent help so soon, but something in the back of my mind had me worried, so I decided to play it cool.

I'll skip the boring part about us leaving the hospital and go straight to the exiting part in the apartment. …..OH JEEZ! NOT LIKE THAT! Sickos… Anyways, I got changed in the bathroom into more casual clothes. A plain white T-shirt with a golden outlined wing on it, and jeans. "How do I look?" I asked her. "Normal." "So…what happened after my skydiving act?" I asked. "Medusa and the Underworld were pushed back by the centurions, and I was sent to fetch you." There was something wrong with her story, something I was missing.

"Hey, I didn't catch your name." I said as I pretended to admire the décor. "I didn't say it" "Well, what is it?" I turned to her to see a pretty smile cross her face "Persephone" I knew there was something wrong with this girl! For those of you who are undereducated, in Greek mythology, Persephone was the wife of Hades, lord of the Underworld. But this Persephone wasn't the guy's wife. "You're Hades daughter aren't you?" I asked coolly.

"How'd you guess?" for a second, I thought I saw her pupils turn to slits "You're name" "Oh yeah, well," she turned slightly to the side so I saw both the front and the back of her body "you didn't expect anything else did you?" she said as she winked at me. Before I could respond, she rolled up her shirt sleeve revealing a tattoo; the head of a woman and a head of hair with serpents in it. Upon closer inspection the snakes were moving as the woman's eyes glowed red. I looked back up at Persephone and to my surprise, her hair turned into snakes and her eyes started glowing red.

"It's a shame really," she said rolling her S's like a snake "You were kind of cute" she winked at me once more before she lunged at me with 6-inch claws. Luckily, I dodged the attack and grabbed her arm and spun her in the air before tossing her out the window. I must've thrown harder then I meant to because she flew past 3 major office buildings and crash landed around Hell's kitchen. Appropriate. 'I probably should get gone' I thought to myself 'This place was a trap, so they must know about it.' 2 seconds later I was gone.

(A/N hope u all enjoyed it! Plz review cuz this is my first ever FanFic!)
