Chapter 2- The Wounded Angel
Pit opened his eyes and found himself in damp golden grass. Torrents of rain drenched his charred wing. The thunder seemed to laugh at him as he sat up and rubbed his head. When he was fully aware of his surroundings, he noticed a house in front of him. There was a ladder that led up to the door. He stood up and tried his wings. One of his wings was deep black. "Ouch," he winced in pain and stopped flapping them. "Look's like I'm not going anywhere."
He slightly rapped on the soggy, wooden door. When the door opened, he saw a young man clothed in the finest green tunic and hat. The man stared at how strange Pit looked. "Can I help you?" he asked.
"I...was looking for a place to stay. You see, I was struck by lightning and I can't fly back to Angel Land," Pit replied.
"Oh. And you are?" the young man inquired.
"Oh, I am Pit. Sent by Palutena to take back what is rightfully ours. I lost track of the thief when the storm hit. Who are you?" the angel answered.
"I am Link, known as the 'chosen hero' and I bear the Triforce of Courage," Link told him.
"Oh, cool, so we're both special. Anyways, is there any chance you have room for me to stay?" Pit inquired.
"I guess I have room. Come on in," Link replied, motioning him in.
When they entered, there was a fire burning with a pot over it. The pot was filled with golden, bubbling liquid. Pieces of pumpkins, ripe tomatoes, open packages of Ordon Goat Cheese, loaves of bread, jars of spices, and other food items where scattered about the tables near the pot. "Excuse the mess," Link said. "I was just trying to make some soup for my friend." He picked up the food that was on the table in the middle and placed them one of the side tables. "Take a seat. I'll be finished soon."
Pit sat down in one of the two chairs that surrounded the table. The pitter patter of rain on the roof top seemed to keep getting louder and louder. "So what is this place?" the angel inquired.
"Ordon Village," Link replied, stirring his soup. "So why are you here?"
"Some one stole Paluntena's most powerful weapon and escaped down here. I was right on their tail when this storm came out of nowhere, and a lightning bolt struck my wing. I can't fly back to my world so I plan to make my journey on foot," Pit answered.
"Oh. Well one of the women here knows something about medicine. We could just ask her to help and...." the young hero began.
"One problem: won't people be freaked out if they saw my wings?"
"Hmmm...well I could then just get advice from her about if a bird's wing was hurt or something," Link told him, pouring the last spice into his soup.
