The good thing of vacation is: just take a seat behind your laptop and write chapters. Yes, it's summer and "you must enjoy the sun". Sun? What sun? Here is only rain...Wetherlands :P

On the wall hung pairs of WINGS. Angel wings, to be exact. The ripped limbs from all kinds of angels. They were in all kinds of colours and patterns.
'I think I'm gonna faint...' stammered Maggie-Jayne. Pit walked with dropped jaw to a pair of wings. They were black with greenish yellow and the clotted blood was still visible at the joint. The captions said Siskin, which probably was the name of the angel.
'Hades collected angel wings. This was one of the reason he created Kite. It was her task to catch them and rip off their wings.'
'How could she even do this?' asked Maggie-Jayne with disgust.
'Well. We all have different ethereal ideas. That's because we learn what's right or wrong from our gods. In my case lady Palutena and in your case lord Dyntos. Do you agree?'
'Yeah...?'
'Kite is raised by Hades. She believed his ideas, because she is created to do so. She never knew the cruelness of this, because she didn't know any better. Hades had obviously major influence on her. And she followed his orders, until she started thinking critically and found out that it wasn't right. She escaped the underworld for a reason, and that's to be the good guy.' Maggie-Jayne set herself down.
'I had never thought about that...' said she. 'But if here are all her victims, then Shrike's wings are here too. Can you please help me seeking his wings? It's very important for me, you know.' Pit doubted. They couldn't lose time, but he understood her.
'Okay. If that gives you rest. What's the colour pattern of Shrike's wings?' asked Pit.
'They are grey with black and white,' said Maggie-Jayne. Pit nodded and they started seeking. He realised now how many colour patterns existed. Many angels just had one colour, with the colour white as most frequent. Palutena had a personal preference for white wings. White was the colour of purity. Viridi preferred bright colours, cause that reflected the beauty of nature. He read many names. A few examples were Swiftlet, Nightingale and Robin. Pit stopped at a pair of glossy turquoise wings. He had never seen a wing pattern like this before. The caption said Quetzal. A rare wing pattern and a rare initial match perfectly, thought Pit.
'Pit, I found my brother. And not only that. I also found Ara's sister,' said Maggie-Jayne and Pit walked immediately to her. She pointed at two pair wings. One pair was grey with white and black with the caption Shrike. The other pair was red yellow blue with the caption Scarlet. A tear rolled down the cheek of the black-haired angel. She carefully took her brother's wings from the wall and hold them tight. She buried her nose in the feathers and started crying. Pit lay a hand on her shoulder to comfort her.
'I'm so sorry for your love,' said Pit. Maggie-Jayne took a seat on the floor.
'It's...it's...just f..fine I c..can say farew..well,' stuttered she. Pit saw silky cloths on a table and picked them up.
'If we are back home, we can bury them and give their last remains a peaceful rest,' said Pit. 'I think Ara will appreciate it too.' He took Scarlet's wings from the wall and enwrapped it in the red silk. He hold a hand out to Maggie-Jayne.
'The wings?' asked he. Maggie-Jayne nodded and gave him Shrike's wings. He enwrapped it too and now they had two packs of red silky cloths.
'PIT!' shouted someone through the castle. Pit and Maggie-Jayne looked around.
'That sounded like Ara,' said Pit alarmed, lay the wings on a table and he ran out the throne room. He was followed by Maggie-Jayne. He ran and sought Ara.
'Help!' shouted Tawn. Pit busted a door and found the two other angels. They were running and dodging for their lives. A pink laser shot toward the angels and Pit and Maggie-Jayne managed to dodge it. Pit turned his head and saw the source: an Igniot.
'We have petrification!' warned Ara. Something crushed on the ground with a splat next to Pit. His heart skipped a beat when he recognised the purple puree.
'And eggplant...ification!' shouted Tawn. Pit looked in shock at the Eggplant Wizard. The guys who haunted his dreams since he was trapped in the Underworld. He was frozen in shock. The Eggplant Wizard launched another eggplant, straight toward Pit. His eyes became wide in fear, but he was pushed out of the way by Maggie-Jayne. Pit pulled out his bow and started shooting at the Igniot and Eggplant Wizard. Suddenly a song started playing.
'Oh and we also have deathification!' shouted Maggie-Jayne and the Orne appeared.
'We need the skull in its mouth!' shouted Pit. His heart beat faster and adrenaline rushed through his veins. The Igniot died by one of Tawn's arrows and the Eggplant Wizard was sliced into two parts by Maggie-Jayne. The Orne floated toward the angels and they divided in the room. The giant floating skull looked around and doubted which angel it would attack. It floated toward Ara, who screamed and Pit pulled his bowstring. The blue arrow appeared. He released the arrow and shot a skull out its mouth. Tawn rushed to the skull and ran very close past the Orne. The Orne turned around and the Golden Eagle dodged. He grabbed the skull.
'Leave the room everyone!' commanded Tawn and the angels got the hell out the room. The Orne followed Pit, who ran as last through the door. Ara slapped the door in the Orne's face and closed it.
'Pfiew...that was close,' said Maggie-Jayne and swept the sweat off her face.
'Dyntos! We have the skull!' said Pit happy and Tawn put the skull in the box.
'If I were you I wouldn't be so happy,' said Dyntos. Pit's facial expression turned from happiness to worry.
'Why then...?' asked Pit with his heart in his throat.
'I got a message from doctor Stork. Kite...she had a heart attack...'
