"Wow this place looks amazing!" Carla said in amusement.

Palutena admired the youth's reaction and decided to ruffle the younger's soft brown hair, "Okay now stay close to me, don't want you to get lost or anything of that sort. Remember this is a magic shop so if you break anything there is a slight chance that something bad could happen to you because there are a variety of different types of magic, so who knows what could happen to you if you brote anything. And also so that I won't have to pay for anything that brackets and or causes damage to the store."

The little girl nodded, "Mhm, got it."

The sorcerer mumbles to herself, "Okay let's see here… amnesia…it's been awhile since I've done something like that…"

They then wandered around the aisles and got a few supernatural ingredients. Meanwhile Carla obediently just followed Palutena everywhere while the sorceress examined various ingredients.

I wonder what big brother is doing right now? The brunette asked herself.

"Let's see here… oh there they are, dragon scales!" Palutena said as she examined the jar.

"How come they're in a jar?"

The emerald haired woman thought for a bit so that she could simplify it so that the child could understand, "Well little one, you know how some dragons can control other elements besides fire?"

"Really?"

"Yep and since they all have different elements their bodies, they also follow the conditions with the powers they control."

"Woah! That's cool!" Carla said in amazement.

Palutena smiled at her curiosity, "Since their bodies do that it also means that their scales are also affected. For example, let's say that a dragon that controls lighting, that dragon's scales will have a resistant to other lightings but can also have a chance of electrifying or paralyze anyone who touches the dragon scale. Either if the scale is still on the dragon or not."

"Eh? I don't get half of that." the brunette said in half confusion.

Palutena chuckled, "It's okay you'll understand when you're a little older, for now I think we're done here. So let's go and pay."

The little girl nodded, "Right."

Palutena noticed that the little girl's pigtails had bounced a little as she nodded. Both females made their way to the register.

"Ah Palutena how ya been!"

"Oh hey Tanatos, it's been a while." The said as she was setting the items up on the counter.

"I go by Thanatos now, the extra H is for HAMAZING!"

Carla started laughing at the guy.

Thanatos looked over at Carla, "And who's this little one? Are you babysitting this kid?"

"Huh? Oh no I'm not babysitting, I'm actually at work right about now."

"Really now?" Thanatos says sounding doubtful.

"Yep."

Palutena then realized, "Oh Carla this is Thanatos the owner of this shop, and Thanatos this is Carla my current summoner."

The little girl waved shyly at the shop owner, "Hi."

The man examined the brunette's appearance, "Eh!? This kid summoned you!? What'd she ask you for a castle, ponies, to be a fairy, or maybe become a princess?"

"Na none of that. I won't tell you anything about any of my client's contracts or their terms, but I can tell you this much."

"And what would that be?"

Palutena then smiles, "For once it wasn't a summon for selfish reasons. And also…"

She pauses and the male flinches because the woman looked serious, "I GET TO FINALLY FORM AN ACTUAL YAOI COUPLE!" she says as she quickly changed her expression drastically from her previous one.

Thanatos facepalms himself, "You haven't changed one bit Palutena…"

"And proud of it too!" Palutena says in pride.

"Well anyways how much will all this be?"

"200 hearts. Anyways I'm curious on what you're working on if it requires you to make a potion. Especially for someone like a child."

"Still won't tell ya either way." The sorceress says as she hands him the hearts.

"Fine then!" He says jokingly. He then puts the items in plastic bags. The brunette looks at the plastic bag in confusion.

"Alright thanks Thanatos, see you next time."

"Same here Palutena." He waves at the females as both females walk out of the shop.

"Um Miss Palutena what's that." Carla says as she points at the bag.

"Oh it's called a plastic bag, you never seen one?"

"No, I never seen that where I live."

Then Palutena remembered, "Oh that's right, well they currently only exist here in this world and not in yours."

"Why?"

"Because where we are right now is not anywhere close to where you live nor from, we're in the wizard world. Here we have more advance technology here then that of your world, or as your people call it Earth."

"Oh ok." Carla said, by the sound of her tone Palutena knew that the little girl was even more curious about the world she's in right now.

Silence was then brought between the two for a few minutes as they were walking to who knows where until the brunette finally decided to say something.

"Um.. On the night of the ball, when you transformed big brother into wearing fancy clothes, how come you gave him a dress?"

The sorceress paused in her steps, "I didn't have any men's clothing so I had to go off of what I had. Sorry I haven't learned how to create clothes on the spot yet. I only knew how to give him hair extensions and only even thought of giving him one because his body looked feminine- er I mean a bit girly " she said as in embarrassment.

The little girl hesitates at the woman's sudden change of mood, "Oh, well that's okay! You still made big brother happy and that's all that matters."

This girl's heart is filled with such purity! I'm so unworthy of her presence! Palutena thought to herself as she gave the girl a soft smile.

The emerald haired sorcerer look ahead, "Well anyways we're here." she said as she pointed at a building.

"Miss Palutena is that your house or something?"

She nodded, "Yep, though just to let you know it's kinda small on the outside but don't let looks trick you in the wizard world."

"Okay Mis Palutena."

As the two females reached the entrance of the house Palutena held her hand out and summoned her staff, she casted a spell in a language that the child wasn't familiar with.

"πόρτα ανοιχτή" She said was a white glow appeared on the door in which triggered the door to open. From then on the inside of the building was visible.

"Woah!" The brunette said in astonishment.

"Come on in little one." Palutena held out her hand to the child so that the two could go inside the small building together.

The child looked around her surroundings when she stepped inside the house, she noticed that the room looked bigger than from the outside. The room looked like any ordinary living room that anyone would have, a couch, a coffee table, some decorations here and there, and a few small plants scattered around the room.

The child then felt a slight tug on the side of her dress. She looked down at what was tugging at her clothes, Carla gave an innocent confused look when she saw what- no who was tugging at her clothes. She didn't know how to exactly describe the creature before her, heck she didn't know what species it was!

All the girl could think of it as a green turtle dinosaur.

"Oh hey there Yoshi I see you're curious about that girl there."

"Miss Palutena what's a Yoshi?" The brunette asked.

"Well Yoshi is his name but I think, If I remember correctly, he's a dinosaur."

"So dinosaurs do exist?"

"Yep, so are you scared of him now that you know he's a dinosaur?"

The child smiled and shook her head sideways, "Nuh uh."

Palutena as amazed by Carla's reaction, usually when someone meets the creature for the first time they get frightened or flinch at the look of the creature.

Carla kneeled down to the dinosaur, "Hi Yoshi I'm Carla. I hope we can be friends."

Yoshi made a goofy grin to the little girl, "Yoshi! Yoshi! Yoshi!"

"Huh? He says his own name?"

Palutena chuckled, "His species all talk like that, though if you want to know, his full name is T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas but we call him Yoshi for short."

"Woah his name sounds super smart and long, I don't think I could say that all at up you said we?"

The sorceress laughed, " Yoshi has friends that he visits quite often. And yeah you're right, to be honest I don't know what his friend was thinking when he named him but it was a mouthful to say for just a full name."

"Um, you didn't name him?"

"No I didn't name him but I think I remember the guy who named Yoshi but he doesn't live in this world anymore. Let's see I think his name was …er Fabio … no Mario! Yeah his name was Mario, I wonder what he's been up to lately?" The woman then trailed off into her thoughts.

The woman then remembered that she was still talking to the kid, "Oh! Carla how about I make the potion right now and while I'm making it you can go play with Yoshi. How's that sound?"

"Yeah!" she said cheerfully.

"Alright how about you two play in Yoshi's room, it's practicality a playground in there and he has a few toys that I think he would like to show you."

"Ah really!? A playground!?" the brunette said in amusement.

"Yep I'll show you to his room since my basement is near his room anyways." The sorceress says as she shows the child and the green dinosaur to the room.

"If you need me just walk all the way down the hallway. There's a door there but don't knock, there's a rope on the side of the door so if you need me just pull it once and I'll open the door." The woman explained.

"Oh and if you need to use the potty it's the door right across from Yoshi's room so you shouldn't have any trouble finding it. I think that's about it, any questions?"

"No I don't think I have any." Carla replied.

"Alright have fun you two, and don't forget pull the rope once."

"Okay see you later miss Palutena! Alright let's go play Yoshi!"

"Yoshi" the green dinosaur said enthusiastically.

'I wonder how Ike's been doing? He's been gone for quite some time.' Marth thought to himself as he looked out the window.

"You alright Marth? You've been staring through the window for a while now."

"Oh I have? Sorry about that Peach did you need something from me?"

"Well I was gonna ask you if you want to help me bake a cake since all the chefs are on break."

Marth gave a shy smile, "I guess I can help though, I guess It's better than doing nothing."

"Alright let's go" The blonde said as she unknowingly, and practically, dragged Marth down to the kitchen.

By the time they got there Peach tied her hair into a ponytail and told the male to take off this gloves and wash his hands, while she looks for the ingredients around the enormous kitchen.

The male smiles softly, 'Maybe now at least this'll keep my mind off of worrying about Ike. Plus, when he gets back he'll have something to eat, yeah he isn't much for sweets but once in awhile he'll eat a small portion of it.'

Marth then realised that it'll be faster if he got all the cooking utensils they'll need while he waits for Peach to gather all they need. Peach noticed this as she was setting some of the ingredients down on one of the tables and decided to let the male do as so since it seems Marth knew, or had an idea, on what they needed. As soon as both were done Peach gave a few instructions on what to do to Marth and he did as the blonde instructed, while they both took turns on what to do next and in no time they were just about done.

The blonde then put the unbaked cake into the oven.

"Alright now we just wait for about 40 minutes and let it cool down. And thanks for helping out Marth."

"No problem Peach, I had fun making the cake with you."

Peach smiles, "That's good to hear, not many knights enjoyed baking."

"Hey could you also teach me how to bake other types of food, since neither Ike nor I know how to cook, I thought it would be good for at least one of us to know how to cook and also since we'll be living together and all after we get married." Marth said.

"Yes I'd be happy to! I can even lend you some old cook books I used to use when I first started out." Peach said happily and acknowledging the fact that the knight had taken an interest in cooking.

Marth was about to thank the blonde when a pikachu came into the room.

"Pika!" It said happily

The female noticed that the pokemon was holding a letter.

"Oh what's? A letter?" the blonde said as the electric mouse went up to Marth and held up its little arms signaling the male to read the letter.

"Oh for me?" Marth kneeled down to the pokemon and was handed the letter.

"Usually Red or his mom would either send a letter personally if they were nearby or they would send their pidgey instead. But for some reason that kid sended his pikachu to do that instead." Peach said as Marth opened the letter and started reading it.

Just to let you know Ike is gonna be here in probably a few hours. I would've made pidgey send you this letter instead but I had to make sure it kept watch over Ike and the prince so I send in Pikachu instead. Don't worry I haven't told the King and Queen but I fear that they're starting to feel suspicious of it since the prince didn't show up to dinner for the past few days. I decided to tell you this since you two seem close or something like that.

-Red

Marth started to feel butterflies in his stomach, he was happy and relieved that his lover was finally returning.

Peach looked over at the letter and commented, "Wow that kid has improved in his writing."

"So um who's Red? I haven't heard of him until now." the bluenette asked.

"Oh Red is one of our few pokemon trainers we have here, he's actually one of our youngest trainers. If I remember correctly he just turned 12 about two months ago."

"They have a 12 year old training pokemon here? Must have quite some talent if they let a child his age train the pokemon they have here at the castle."

"Well you'd be surprised that he was able to tame one of our most vicious pokemon." Peach stated.

"And what kind of pokemon would that be?"

"I think it was Tyranitar."

"Wait. The Tyranitar that was caught 2 years ago!? One of the strongest and well trained pokemon that the kingdom has at their disposal!?" Marth said in astonishment.

"Yes that Tyranitar."

"Whoa that kid has talent, a protégé even!"

"Yes, well anyways you should go out for some fresh air since I notice that you were inside for the past few days after Ike left."

"But I promised to help you finish making the cake. I'd feel guilty if I accidentally took too long."

"It's alright, I'll send a message to you when it's ready for the frosting. But go outside and do something since you haven't been outside."

"Are you sure Peach? I'd feel guilty for leaving you here alone." Marth gave a concerning look.

"Yes I'm sure now go on."

"Alright then but don't forget to send me back in to finish the cake up." He then went and gathered his gloves and sword that he originally had but taken off before he helped make the cake with Peach.

Pikachu had managed to climb up Marth's left shoulder wanting to go along with the male.

Peached briefly laughed, "Okay you take care now Marth."

"I will Peach, see you later."

Peach waved goodbye to Marth as he walked out of the kitchen.

"So Pikachu, how come you wanna tag along with me?"

"Pika pika pi!" the pokemon said.

Marth then realised, "How could I forget, I don't even know what you're saying yet I asked you a question, how silly of me."

"Well anyways you'd eventually have to get back to your trainer so promise to go back to Red, okay?"

Pikachu happily nodded, "Pika!"

"Alright."

'Huh? Where should I go? Maybe I should go and see how the knights at the castle act, maybe even see how they do things around here.'

The male then wandered around until he found the knight's training ground.

"Uh Pikachu are you sure that you wanna still stay with me? Where in the knight's training grounds so I don't want you getting hurt."

The electric mouse refused to leave the male's side.

"...Alright but if you even to nearly get hurt, please leave and go back to your trainer."

"Pika…" The pokemon said in a tone that showed that it thought that Marth was being overprotective.

Marth walked in and observed the knights training. He noticed that they were being trained differently compared to how he was trained.

"Hey you! Who are you and what are you doing here!?" a random knight shouted and rudely asked.

"Oh sorry I just wanted to see how the knights here trained."

"That still doesn't answer who the hell you are! So, who are you?"

"I'm Marth, Ike's fiance."

"You? Yeah right! Ike never mentioned about himself being engaged, let alone in a relationship!"

"Well when Ike gets here I can let him veri-"

The knight interrupted the other male, "Yeah right! You're just an intruder sent here to spy on us!" the knight then drew his sword out and attempted to strike down Marth.

Pikachu immediately jumped onto a nearby platform that was not too far yet far enough for the pokemon can be safe from the danger. Meanwhile Marth swiftly dodged the sword as if it were nothing.

The knight yelled at Marth, "You little shit!" which caused a lot of attention from the other knights and looked to where the sound was coming from.

"Hey that guy over needs help!"

"Shit, Is that an intruder!?"

"C'mon guys we gotta help him!"

"Yeah!"

And from that a horde of other knights came running and aiding their companion.

Marth sighed, "Well this is troublesome."

The male then jumped back to a small area where there wasn't anyone around, he concentrated and waited very patiently, he slightly spread out his legs, bended his knees a bit, and he held the hilt of his sword. He looked straight at the horde of men targeting him.

"What a pussy!"

"Hah! He's so scared that he can't move!"

"We've got him right where we want him boys!"

"Die you little shit!"

Marth narrowed his eyes and waited for the exact moment to strike.

Once the horde was 5 feet away from him he immediately withdrew his sword, dashed to the crowd and disappeared right afterwards.

The crowd of knights stopped.

"Tch. That little shit is just running away now." said the very last knight in the back of the crowd.

"Oh did I now?" Marth said in an emotionless tone, facing right behind the man. The bluenette then drew his sword back into its scabbard and all could be heard was the sharp click of the blade.

Immediately after, blood splashed out of every single knight in the crowd and immediately all fainted.

This caused even more attention as now all the knights in the training ground immediately were now aware that Marth, or mistakenly labeled as intruder, have all now targeted the male.

Arrows not started flying everywhere in his direction, Marth stood there calmly and drew his sword out.

Pikachu started to panic and was afraid it'll get hurt in the crossfire. The electric mouse then hurried over and ran away on the rooftops looking for his young trainer.

Marth took note of that and knew that he didn't have to worry now about the pokemon getting hurt now. He sighed one last time and ran straight towards the arrows, he sliced everyone one of them and also in the process, did flips from all sorts of angles and heights that he thought were necessary in order to take out as many arrows as possible in a brief time. Some arrows were either deflected, sliced in half to the point that it didn't even hit Marth at all, or completely missed him entirely.

Then knights from all directions came towards the bluenette. Marth narrowed his eyes and started to take on the knights all at once. Many of the knights varied in weapons, some had swords, battle axes, lances, most even had magic enhanced weaponry, and other swords varying from other foreign cultures. Marth knew he could hold on his own end but noticed that more and more knights kept coming, he then over time started to feel a bit overwhelmed by the crowd. He had enough of such meaningless fighting and decided to use one final attack to end it.

He jumped up on someone's head and used it to boost himself up and ran up a stone wall and up to the rooftops. He then jumped across, ran down another stone wall, landed down onto the ground and ran towards the humongous crowd. He griped onto the helm of the sword and angled the sword in a particular angle to prevent anyone from accidentally dying in his final attack.

'Now. Special move! Critical attack!' He slashed his sword once, a huge transparent slash beam appeared and sent all the foes flying up, and also himself included but not harmed, and all knights landing harshly onto the ground. Marth then landed on his feet and on another set of rooftops.

Marth stood quiet. He jumped down from the rooftops safely and was about to walk out until of the training ground until he saw a gust of wind.

The tornado-like wind came closer and closer to the male rapidly he then realized it only became even faster. The tornado-like wind went up to him and Marth barely had time to dodge object, nearly missing his neck.

Marth jumped back, he felt a slight liquid drip down his neck and noticed that the substance was his own blood.
