CHAPTER 5
The hope of a new day brought much promise to Pit and Palutena. After customizing his weaponry, Pit ensured that he looked presentable for Poseidon. After knotting his long, worn belt, Pit made his way toward the exit, awaiting Palutena. Not too long after he sat down, she arrived in her official attar. The warm sunlight reflected on the gold jewels that she wore as well as her shimmering green hair.Her hair always perplexed Pit, how in the world could she maintain that much hair? Unaware that he was staring at her for as long as he did, Palutena had broken his trance by saying,
"What is it Pit? Do I look okay?"
"O-of course," he blushed. "Is it really okay for him to leave the sea? I mean a God leaving his temple is like a king leaving his castle.." Feeling the back of his neck awkwardly, Pit felt out of place for saying such a statement however it needed to be addressed.
"It's true, it's a little improper. However he convinced me that his territory was completely safe, after all it is at the bottom of the ocean! Relationships are strongest when built in person and right now we need good relations." Relief reflected in Pit's eyes only for a moment until another thought crossed his mind.
"Wait a minute. The rewind spring is by the city of death, isn't it? Why hasn't Pitto taken Hades's soul there yet? What if he's already revived? What are we gonna do? The Great Scared Treasure is still in pieces! I don't know if I can do this! I barely got away with defeating him the first time!" The warmth of Palutena's hand relaxed Pit once more. Drawing him in for a sudden embrace, he heard the beating of her heart, her breathing, how soft her flawless skin was.
"Pit…" A long pause befell them both before she began to stroke his fluffy hair, trying to comfort him. "It's okay. Virdi's forces of nature are guarding the spring as well as some of my troops. Besides, I believe that you would need more than just a soul, you would need a body too." Pausing for a moment she then whispered, "This isn't just about Hades though, is it? What else is bothering you?" Sadness reflected in the angel's crying eyes, gripping her tighter, as if holding onto hope.
"I don't want to lose you again.." Pit's voice was shaken and beginning to crack. "When you were controlled by the Chaos Kin I was afraid.. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get back your soul.. I don't ever want to lose you Lady Palutena.. You're my whole world! You taught me everything I know and you gave me something to believe in!" Her lips slipped into a smile before her soft, delicate hand wiped away Pit's warm tears.
"Pit, I don't want you to worry about me. This is bigger than both of us and we need to focus. Besides, I'm a Goddess; it's going to take a lot to finish me." The last of his tears ran dry before he gave her a smile.
"You're right Lady Palutena, I'm sorry I got carried away with my emotions." Releasing the tight embrace, Palutena replied,
"It's okay, are you ready? He should be here any minute." Beaming, Pit took a nervous breath.
Sure enough Poseidon, the God of the sea, walked into Palutena's temple with a calming aura to him. He stroked his majestic beard, one eyebrow raised.
"Please, right this way," Palutena motioned to the tea table, her calming energy enhanced by the soft breeze. Pit sat beside Palutena as she somberly explained the situation.
"I understand your terms and I will help you. I haven't contacted Zeus in who knows how long so who know how he will react. However, I'm sure Hades will be surprised at this little family get together." The God of the sea always was easygoing, surely Palutena expected this.
"I truly do hope we can pull this off. Thank you for your cooperation." Palutena jammed her elbow into Pit's side before he realized that he should express his gratitude as well.
"Y-yes thank you."

Whoa! Let me just change the entire chapter why don't I?! I do believe that the change is much better than the previous one. This change is simply put, more logical.
