Chapter 12

He felt bad about leaving Silvounous alone again, but he couldn't stand any of it. The love he felt for her kept shoving him at her. But he wasn't supposed to love her. Pit was an Icarus, Silvounous wasn't. He belonged in Skyworld, she didn't. Why did things have to be so freaking complicated? He should have just left her alone on earth.

"Then why did you bring her here?" he asked himself. That was easy. "Because that is what Palutena told me to do", he answered. Then a thought struck him. "She told me to bring Silvounous to Skyworld, she told me to bring a human to Skyworld. But why?"

Then he remembered that night on the shore of the lake. "And, sometimes, I feel the same way, like I belong up there, instead of down here."

What if he were wrong? What if she wasn't human? What if Silvounous was an Icarus? Pit liked the thought of that. Then they could be together. They could love each other without fear of doing the forbidden. That would be nice... If she were an Icarus then there would be no problem. We could do everything together with no worries about my people discovering us cause we would not have to hide our relationship. But there is no relationship, is there?

Pit's thoughts shattered as Silvounous' scream ripped through the still air. Soon he was sprinting back to his room where he had left Silvounous, alone and unprotected.

He entered the room to find Silvounous grasped by the waist. "Let her go Tip."

"Now why would I do that?"

Pit swung out a fist putting all of his frustration behind the punch. He missed and was soon flung across the room by Tip. He hit the wall hard and the breath was knocked out of him.

"Pit!" Silvounous cried.

Tip grasped Silvounous by the waist once again as he said "You fail miserably at this brother. This girl is mine now."

"Let her go", Pit said weakly, wincing as he stood up.

"I will, when we arrive to the underworld. Bye brother."

"No!"

Too late, they were gone.
