Chapter 5

He had fallen into her arms. His brown hair tickled them as his breath teased her neck. Pit's arms felt cold, cold as ice. They were heavy too. Silvounous felt this as she tried to figure out what was wrong. Then her hands were at his forehead. Compared to everything else it was an open flame. Silvounous knew that she couldn't help Pit, but she knew someone who could. She dragged Pit from the edge to the air rider and threw herself up onto it. Flying, she headed to the shaman's place.

The shaman sat outside the rundown hut, waiting for the sick to arrive. His blind eyes followed the duo as they landed onto the rich soil of his yard. Silvounous scrambled off quickly pulling Pit onto her back.

"Silvounous is that you?" the shaman asked rubbing his paw above his ancient eyes. "Who is that with you?" he added on. For a blind man he sure does see a lot.

"Yes Lucario it's me and this kid here, his names Pit, hes a good friend of mine and he needs your help, he has a really bad fever."

"Bring him in", commanded the shaman. Silvounous scrambled in, trying her best to stay upright, fighting against Pit's weight. "Set him up in a bed." Silvounous obeyed and set him down onto a bed accordingly.

Only a minute passed before she heard the shaman say, "Oh no."

"Whats wrong with him Lucario? Is he gonna be okay? Answer me! Tell me hes going to be okay!" Silvounous was on the verge of tears.

"I wish I could Silvounous, I really do, but I can't. He has a fever, just like you said, and it's... Fatal."

"How can we help him? How do we save him? Tell me, is there any way to save him Lucario?"

"The lake may be able to cure him, but I don't think your friend will make it."

"I have to try, thanks Lucario." Silvounous once again dragged Pit onto the air rider and flew as fast as possible to Elemental Lake.

By the time her and Pit had arrived it was noon. Silvounous jumped off the rider and stripped down to her bra and panties. Along with her clothes she pulled off Pit's shirt and sandals. Soon as she was done she carried Pit off into the lake. When his whole entire body was in the water she came to a stand still and kept his head above the water.

Silvounous stood like that for about an hour before she actually took a look at him. He seemed so peaceful, so relaxed, as if he were asleep. It was too peaceful. What if I'm too late, what if he's dead already. He can't be dead, he can't, can he?

Scenes shifted as she was thrown back in time. She ran with Ganon right on her tail. "Leave me alone." Then the whiz of an arrow, the boy's arrow, Ganon's cry, slowing, stopping, then running again listening too the cry of a boy, a complete stranger that she decided to trust, even though it could have led to her ultimate doom. Eventually being pulled into the greenery of a bush, trying to punch whoever was holding her captive, and turning too meet the eyes of a boy, round and sky blue.

Suddenly as if on fast forward she was on top of the huts, jumping from roof to roof, hoping to escape the man that continued to hunt her. Coming to the end of the line, sliding down the rope, looking down to recognize the boy from before who stood below her. Feeling the rope go taught and falling only to find herself in his arms safe and sound. Experiencing what it would mean to have someone care for her since ten years before.

Fast forwarding again she was in the field with Ganondorf, having a gun pointed at her, a bullet already shot, her shoulder bleeding. Standing there she was unable to defend herself, and watched the flash of Pit's arrow as it lodged itself into Ganondorf's side.

Now it was the tree house, she was just waking up, finding Pit perched on the landing's edge. She watched as he turned around to face her, looking pale, fragile, in pain. Refusing that something was wrong and then she saw him as he fell, and all she could do was grasp him, and try to help him.

Silvounous was now returning to the present, staring down at Pit's peaceful features. He's saved me several times, so why can't I save him? Tears started to brim her eyes. "Pit wake up!" she cried. "Please, just wake up! Please Pit... Wake up!" Silvounous burst into tears then. He's gone. Gone. No!

Her voice trembled as she said "Pit, please, wake up."

There was a moan and then in a soft, feathery voice, "Silvounous." Then Pit's eyes fluttered open revealing his wonderful sky blue eyes.

Mario shuddered at the cold air. Where was everyone? They couldn't all be gone. Could they? He didn't know if it was possible, as he walked into Skyworld. Then he noticed the Suracais roaming around his home. Those bastards. Naturally he decided to kick their asses.

Mario made an attempt to tackle one of the dark beings. And he succeeded, only for him to later be held by a smirking menace. "Now, now, no need to be so unbecoming to us. After all we are your guests. And as our host you should treat us with kindness."

"Fuck you Suracai. I'll never treat you with anything but distaste."

The Suracai dragged the unwilling Icarus down to the Underworld where most of the others were held.
