This chapter will also be in Palutena's perspective
Chapter 2
"Alright, little guy, let's get you inside," I whispered as I scooped the baby up into my arms, keeping him close to me. I wonder who left you here… I thought as I went inside, gently closing the door behind me.
"Lady Palutena! What's that?" one of my Centurion knights shouted.
"Shhh!" I hissed. "Keep it down!"
"What is it?" he said, whispering.
"Someone just left me a little baby angel."
"What?! W-why?"
"I don't know. The note didn't say anything."
"Well, what are you going to do with him?"
"I don't know yet… I'll figure it out. Now go back to doing your duties."
"Yes, my lady." The Centurion left the room, leaving me and the baby alone.
"So, Pit, huh?" I said, walking toward the kitchen. "Whatever am I going to do with you?" Then, I heard a tiny, tired squeak, and little Pit slowly opened his eyes, which happened to be a pretty sapphire blue color.
"Wow, what beautiful eyes you have, you handsome little thing you!" I said. "You're so darn cute! Yes you are! Yes you are!" I said in a babyish voice, nuzzling my face into his little tummy. Unfortunately, that caused me to get a bad reaction out of the angel, and tears started to well up in his eyes.
"Oh nononono!" I said in a panic. "Shhh… it's okay…" I said soothingly, trying to calm Pit down. But my attempts were fruitless, and he started to cry. Oh no… I thought, feeling guilty for what I did. However, to my relief, what I did wasn't actually the reason to why he was crying! As I was cuddling him close to me, I heard his stomach growling, and realized that the only reason he was crying was because he was hungry!
"Phew…" I said. "Okay little guy, let's get you fed. …If I had the stuff to feed you with, of course." I realized that I did not have any baby formula, nor a bottle to feed him with. "Hey, you there!" I called to one of my Centurions, who happened to go into the kitchen to see what was making a ruckus. "Gather all of the Centurions into the main gathering room. I need to tell you all something.
"Men," I began as all of my Centurions stood before me attentively. "I was just given the responsibility of caring for a baby angel, and I need you all to watch him while I go out to get the proper supplies for doing so."
The Centurions all looked at each other unhappily, mainly because I was about to hand them Pit, who was still crying.
"Please, guys? I'll only be a couple of minutes. Besides, the faster I get this done, the less time you have to spend listening to the crying." I smirked to myself as the Centurions almost immediately agreed to watch Pit. Ha ha! Gotta love persuasion! I handed one of the Centurion knights Pit, saying "I'll be right back!" as I ran out the door. And hopefully I might find Pit's parents while I'm out and about!
Well, I definitely got sidetracked due to that last statement. I spent about fifteen minutes walking around, asking every couple possible if they happened to leave me their baby. However, everyone that I asked either said no or completely ignored me. Determined to find the parents, I reached out to everyone telepathically and said, "Angels of Skyworld. Please gather to the town square. It'll only be a moment."
I hurried over to the town square, and as soon as all of the angels had gathered around I started to speak. "I'm sorry for bothering you all, but I have a bit of a predicament at hand. You see, somebody left their baby at my front door, and I need to know who the parents are. So if any of you did so, please speak up."
Silence. Completely losing hope, I dismissed them, apologizing for interrupting their day, and somberly walked to the store. Well that got me nowhere… Perhaps they're dead… Or maybe not. Where could they possible be?
