'Pit…' His name floated through his head. His conscious went back, but his mind was still a muddle and a sharp headache pierce through his mind. Pit felt that his eyes were closed. He tried to open them, but his eyelids were too heavy.
'Pit?' said a worried voice. He knew that voice! Pit tried to scream, but his mouth made nothing more than a muffled sound. Where am I, asked Pit in his thoughts. Behind his eyelids went a light back.
'He is awakening,' said a second person. Pit groaned and his eyelids trembled. Slowly opened Pit his eyes. His vision was blurry but saw two persons staring at him.
'Lady P..Palutena?' asked Pit muzzy. He lay on the marble floor of Palutena's temple. The green haired goddess sat on her knees and lay a hand on his forehead. A centurion commander stood behind her with Pit's bow in his hands.
'Are you all right?' asked Palutena.
'I don't kno.. auch! Headache.' Pit grabbed at his head. Suddenly he realised something.
'Where is Kite?' asked he. Palutena looked behind her at the centurion.
'I only found Pit, nobody else,' he said and Pit's eyes became wide and stood up.
'What do you mean with "found" and what is happened?' asked Pit confused. Palutena pushed him careful back on the floor.
'Your laurel crown gave no signal anymore, so I sent commander Goldhead to seek you. He found you being unconscious and brought you here.'
'You lay on the dirty grass and you was barely breathing,' said commander Goldhead.
'But Kite is gone? No trace?' asked Pit worried. He was after all her mentor, so he was responsible.
'No, commander Goldhead found a feather,' said Palutena and showed Pit the feather: Half white, half black.
'We have to find her!' shouted Pit and jumped up. Palutena calmed him down, AGAIN.
'No Pit. You not. I already sent sector Alpha to sector Eta. And for you, you have to go to hospital and rest.' Palutena pointed at the door with a strict face. Commander Goldhead lifted Pit and walked away with the angel in his arms. If I'm almost death, thought Pit annoyed. Pit really hated the doctor's, the dentist's or any other medical thing. They went through many doors and entered the hospital-room. A woman quickly turned around.
'Is he OK? What's happened? Lie him on the bed.' The centurion lay Pit on the bed. Oh no, not miss Halo, thought Pit. As general of the entire army, Pit was involved in heavy battles and often got injured. Sometimes he was in hospital day after day with that overprotective nurse running around him.
'What is wrong with him?' asked miss Halo to commander Goldhead.
'Unconsciousness. He needs rest, Palutena's order.'
'I'm fine!' yelled Pit, in the hope that he could go, but miss Halo pushed him back on the bed and took a writing pad.
'Full name, please?' asked she and looked strict behind her glasses.
'Pythagoras Perseus Eros Icarus.' She noticed his name.
'You, rest. I'm Right back. Don't you dare leave your bed.' With that words left miss Halo and commander Goldhead the room.
There Pit sat: alone. He was very worried about Kite. It was not unusual for an angel to disappear and disappeared angels were always found same afternoon, but Pit couldn't help it.
'I hope we will find you soon,' said Pit through the window. He had heard horror stories about what could happen with angels on Earth. Stories told at campfires to fright (and warn) young angels by generals, commanders and especially gods.
'What if she is lost, or even worse! She could be captured and caged in a zoo! Or her wings could be ripped off or she could be killed!'
The door went open and miss Halo walked in with a WHOLE pharmacy. Holy Crap, thought Pit.
'How are you feeling now Pit?' asked she. Pit felt his head.
'I'm feeling well. My headache has subsided.'
'Let's have a look,' said miss Halo and walked to Pit. I thought I just said I'm feeling well, thought Pit. He didn't like to be poor, that wasn't heroic. Miss Halo pulled his wings out.
'They are dirty!' she grabbed a duster and wipe off the dust. She gave a breathe tester to Pit.
'Could you exhale therein?' ordered the nurse and Pit did what she said. It was like an alcohol control for drivers. Miss Halo took the breathe tester, commanded him to sleep and walked away. Pit dropped his head in the cottony pillow. Maybe lady Palutena was right, thought Pit. Maybe I need rest, with that thoughts felt the young angel asleep.
Pit ran through a black universe. 'Pit!' screeched a voice and Pit ran toward the source. He ran faster and faster. His heart was in his throat. He saw nothing; everything was black. A scream echoed through his ears and suddenly he saw it. One light beam a few yards away. In the light lay Kite. She was weakened and injured. Her feathers stood in all directions and her face was covered with bloody scratches.
'Pit! Help me!' cried the angel in agony. Pit tried to get closer, but the light stay as far as first.
'I will save you!' shouted Pit. The light beam faded out and Kite disappeared with a scream.
'KITE!' screamed Pit and he dropped on his knees in despair.
What do you think what's happened and what will happens? Let me know!
About Pit's name. When I first heard of his name, I thought it was a shortening of Pythagoras (like John and Jonathan). Pit's personality is based on a mix between Icarus and Eros and the KI story is the story of Perseus, the one sent by Pallas Athena to slay Medusa.
