After Pit defeated Phosphora in Thunder Cloud Temple. Pit was teleported away to the FF6 World of Balance. With a new world to explore, how is Pit going to deal with his new friends that he finds? Throughout his adventure, he will slowly grow up and slowly gain confidence with the help of his FF6 friends. Will he find his way back home? Will Pit be able to fly on his own for good?

2. Sabin's Cabin

In a unknown location, time, and place.

Pit awoke from his sleep, he was in a location that wasn't familiar to him before. "Whoa, what is this place? This does not look familiar to me at all." Pit thought. He looked around him, he was on a bed. He caught a glimmer of sign around him, as a sign said: Duncan's Training Ground. It was absolutely clear that he was no longer in Palutena's temple. Around him, Pit could see two other beds with a table and a chair that is used as a dinning place. At a corner, there contains a bookcase with books in it. In his view of sight, there was about a person that was fighting with Sabin right now. He was coming towards Pit in that very moment after he was done finishing the sparing round.

A man then walked towards Pit, a man that looked old, and seemed to be the owner of the house. Turns out his name is Duncan. He then noticed that Pit was waking up, his eyes of a blue color and with a gold laurel crown on his forehand. "Oh...your awake...Good morning kid, my name is Duncan. You had been out for a couple of days, we thought that you would never wake up. Welcome to my cabin, we have taken the best care of you and to make sure that you are well on the way to recovering. I myself have made sure that you are healthy. I thought that you were going to succumb to your injuries. I guess you can say that we thought that you were 'Finished'."

Pit on the other hand is still unfamiliar with his surroundings. One moment, he was in his room getting ready for bed. The next, he woke up in a completely different place altogether. He became confused and puzzled. "Where I'm I? Where is my Lady Palutena?" Pit said in a somewhat puzzled tone. "Are we still in Skyworld? Where are the Centurions?" He then turned to Duncan, waiting for a response from him. This was concerning, since the only way for Pit to get home was to have Lady Palutena extract him from a location. However, with Pit in the FF6 world, that is deemed useless. Now, Pit was stuck here and with no way to get back. Meanwhile, Duncan was getting mystified by the things that Pit is talking about. "Palutena" and "Skyworld" are words that Duncan never heard of before. He then looked outside for a couple of seconds before turning back to Pit. "What are you talking about? I have never heard of Lady Palutena. Is she like your mother? The thing your are talking about is all unfamiliar territory to me. The closest thing we have are Espers." Duncan said in a curious, yet calm tone.

The angel looked at Duncan before answering his question. "She is the one that I serve under. I'm the Captain of her guard! In other words, I am in second command of her army. And trust me, that is not a stretch. However, I always get a lot of free time on occasion, but I guess that balances it out. I wanted to know one thing, and that is: What is this place? Are we in the Overworld? This is where most of the humans lived, mostly trying to stay out of the war." Pit then turned his head to the left so that he could see Duncan better, because he was still laying on the bed. The bed was also quite softer then expected for Pit. It wasn't as comfortable as his bed room in Palutena's place, but it did its job fairly well.

"This is the World of Balance. We are just located in Mt. Kolts. South Figaro is nearby, another major city that is frequently visited by other cities. Our location is within a valley, and surrounded by mountains. Here, we are safe from any perils and monsters that may roam around here. Besides, we don't want you getting killed within the first day of you gaining consciousness." Duncan said to Pit. He then turned away and went to the small kitchen to set up for the upcoming dinner that was going to happen tonight. Pit on the other hand tried to push himself up from the bed, but he quickly realized that he was still a little too sore to stand up. "Ugh...I'm aching real badly. There is no way I am going to get home in one day." Pit thought. He then laid down on the bed once again to let his muscles relax before he gets up from the bed. He still had questions, as he has never head of a town called "South Figaro". In his world, most of the towns were unnamed, due to how Pit's timeline is way, way back in the past. With curiosity, Pit asked Duncan about this. "South Figaro? Is that a human town?" Duncan then cleaned all of the plates before turning and sitting down on a chair. He did this so he could talk to Pit. The moment Duncan heard this question, he began to question the angel's intelligence in his brain. "Of course, do you think that I am retarded? The town is very well known around here. Same as the others, we know our way around here. I must assume that you are a newcomer eh? You must be unfamiliar with the land over here." Duncan said as Pit turned his body further to the left, trying to get a new sense of his movement.

He then realized that he forgot to introduce himself to Duncan. Pit is almost known everywhere around his world. Here, it sounds like he is just another ordinary person assigned to a specific role. They don't know that he is a flightless angel. "Oh, I almost forgot to introduce myself. My name is Pit, servant of the Goddess of Light. I think I am slowly getting stronger now, my muscles feel less achy then they were an hour ago." Pit looked at the clock in the cabin, as the sixty minutes flew by as if it was nothing. Duncan always appreciated the kindness of people, as it was welcomed everywhere. He then looked at his right hand and decided to give his hand out to Pit. Pit then looked at the hand, then he looked at Duncan before giving him a handshake. "It's nice to meet you Pit, do you want to talk about what happened? There must have been a warp that took you here. You kind of...appeared out of empty space. We realized that you are not a normal human, as you have wings. Your clothing is also unique, I have never see something like that before. Sabin saw you on the field, unconscious. He made sure to look around so that you are not taken by someone else. That's when he took you into my cabin."

Pit understand how he got into the cabin in the first place. Duncan's thought process made is easier for him to understand. As the curious angel with his child-like personality, he still has some questions. Pit caught an eye of someone outside that definitely had a muscular build, and was clearly much, much taller than Pit . "Yeah, I think I can talk about that. But first, who was that guy out there with you? He seems to be very tall. Is that who you train with all the time?" Duncan then turned and walked towards the door and shouted: "Sabin, time to come into the cabin. Our guest is awake!" A voice can be heard coming from outside, which sounds like another man's voice. "Just a few more moments Duncan. I'm just about done doing errands around the cabin. Duncan then walked back and sat down next to Pit again. " I will get Sabin in first, we are going to have some tea at my dining table. I have trained him over the years, he has a lot of experience. Trust me, he is no slouch in combat either. He is skill enough to protect you in case danger arrives." They then both turned their heads towards the noise of footsteps, which began to get louder as he approached the doorway of the cabin.

As Pit looked outwards at the doorway, he could see a muscular figure that had short blond hair, with his height about 6 ' 3. He was wearing blue tank top and some white pants. He walked in the room with him bare-footed and got down to sit on a table. Sabin was definitely taller than Pit, as he is certainly towering over him right now. In fact, Sabin's height made it so that Pit looked like a dwarf. He came over and sat on the table, with him drinking some of the tea that was made by Duncan. Sabin then turned towards Pit, noticing that he was still in the bed. "My name is Sabin, heir to the throne of Figaro, and Edgar's brother. It's nice to meet you Pit. We are pleased to make sure that you are comfortable. When you are ready, we will have a surprise for you."

All of these names that kept firing from Sabin is making Pit confused at the same time he stopped talking. "It is a pleasure to meet you Sabin. Wait a minute...who is Edgar? How is he special. I just wanted to know..." Pit said in a sort of curious tone. It has been a while since he has held a real conversation, and having Sabin and Duncan in the same place allows for Pit to practice. Sabin then grabbed another slip of tea before answering Pit. "Edgar is the King of Figaro. A kind man, and a true brother who is loved by anyone that he comes across. You know that having something like a brother is a good thing." Sabin then wanted to know how and what Pit is, since this is his first encounter with the angel. "So tell me all about this other place of yours? What is it like? Do you like living in a place much like ours, or do you live in a human town?" Sabin asked. Before I came here, I was in Lady Palutena's temple, getting ready to go to bed. I just got done defeating one of Viridi's commanders. Yeah, I was pretty fatigued from the battle."

Duncan was even more puzzled, as this person named Viridi sounds like another human being. He then shook his head. "Whoa, whoa, slow down Pit! You're going a little bit to fast for me. Who is this Viridi are you talking about Pit? What is she, another god from your world? Me and Sabin would like to know all of the facts. The story that you are telling us is interesting, Pit." Duncan sat in his chair, looking at with with confusion and with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Yes. She has the appearance of a child but she is the goddess of nature. Viridi seeks to destroy humanity, because they started killing each other over the Wish Seed." Pit replied to Duncan. "She plans to wipe them all out. That's right, not even one left alive. Ironically, she fails to realize that not all of the humans think for themselves. Some of the humans in my world care for others and even sacrifice their lives to save others. Therefore, Viridi's statement is somewhat...f..false." Pit's face was depressed, and filled with sorrow. It's obvious that he has a hard time talking about it, as it brings painful memories of the vision that will never go away from him. Pit looked down to the ground slightly, as if he didn't want to talk about the horrors that he saw during the aftermath of the Wish Seed.

Duncan's smiling also faded after Pit said the last couple of sentences. "Wish Seed? What the heck is that?! A thing that can make a wish come true, that's sounds so filled of nonsense. I mean, that's like if someone came out to you and offered a million gil by killing other humans. That is just absurd! Any one who falls for that is a dumbass, no offense. Why...why would anyone believe in such a ruse like that? Forgive me Pit, but I am just sick of some of the people that fall for ridiculous things. It also sounded like that was the reason that they got greedy in the first place."

The room was quiet for about ten seconds, not a single sound was heard in the room. The only sound that was made is some animals from outside. Pit then broke the silence. "Duncan, you're correct. The entire thing was a fake, and the humans in my world somehow fell into that trap that Hades created. It...I...It was a disaster waiting to happen. Hades planned it all along and everything went perfectly for him. I don't want to talk about that anymore, might tear up." Pit then slowly stood up, as the strength in his muscles has returned to him once again. He then walked to one of the chairs to sit down on. Pit then put his hand on his chin and waited for a reply from Duncan. He took notice of this and answered Pit's calls. "Hades? Never heard of a name like that before. Sounds like death and destruction and grim reaper stuff." Sabin got up and joined the three in the last remaining seat as well. He then went to pick up a tea kettle and asked Pit. "Hey, would you like some of this tea Pit?" Pit accepted this and grabbed a small cup. Sabin then poured the liquid into Pit's cup. "Gee, thanks for the tea Sabin!" He then poured the tea into his mouth to drink some of it. "Mmmm...that's good." The warmness of the tea made Pit more alert than ever. Sabin wanted this discussion to keep going, since it is getting more interesting as Pit tells more and more. "Wait a minute! If Viridi has the appearance of a god, how can she act like one? I mean...how does she act around you and others?"

"Gods are older then they look. You can't just look at them and know that they are young or not. Viridi acts in a childish manner. She is sometimes sarcastic." Pit replied. He then reached for a another cup of tea. This time however, Pit tipped the cup up and into his mouth. He basically gulped down the entire thing, leaving an empty cup. Sabin and Duncan's jaw dropped at the sight of this, as they would never consider drinking tea as fast as Pit. "He sure drinks fast. Much faster than any other kid that I have seen before." Duncan mumbled to himself.

Sabin, noticing that Pit haven't talked about Viridi's commander, chimed in. "And who is the commander of Viridi's your talking about? The one that you said you defeated in a battle Pit. Sounds like you haven't talked about that yet." Duncan then stepped in and added. "Yeah, we want to know all about that. Seems like you wanted to keep it away from us. Maybe we can get a better understanding of this situation." He then got up from his chair to grab some sugar in the counter. He opened one of them and took the sugar out. Duncan then used a spoon to measure the amount sugar. Then, he poured it into his tea. It dissolved as he mixed it around. Duncan then grabbed the white tea cup and took a little sip of it. He then went back to his seat and sat down to tune in to more of Pit's conversation.

Pit knows what Sabin is talking about, so he slightly positions his body and face to face Sabin. "Sabin, her name is Phosphora. What makes her a commander is that she is with Viridi. Phosphora is hands down the strongest and most powerful commander of the Forces of Nature. Anything else you guys want to know about her?"

Sabin wanted to know, as it was an ever growing experience. "Phosphora? What does she do and what does she look like? Oooh...this is getting interesting. I can tell that she is a girl that likes you. You know that you want her deep down in your soft heart." Sabin then wagged his finger at Pit. He started to get flushed a little bit, and that promoted Sabin to start messing with Pit. "What's the matter? Got cold feet all of a sudden? Don't worry, we won't push it too far for you. Just go as far as you comfort zone allows it to." A break then started, which Pit then received as a cue to keep talking so that it wouldn't be as awkward. Pit at this moment felt his cheeks getting hotter and hotter by the moment.

Pit then righted himself. "She specializes in lighting powers and can fly and move very fast. She has purple eyes with a blond crescent hair. She wears blue-and-white clothes in addition to purple bands and black wraps around her arms and legs and has a green-leaved vine wrapped around her body from her arm to her thigh. I had the opportunity to defeat her after she battled against Thanatos. She was wounded from her battle, so Phosphora's powers weren't on the same level as before. If I took her out, it would put a huge dent on Viridi's plans. Lady Palutena suggested that we attacked her while she was recharging, and I decided to go with it. Luckily, I somehow won the fight with her. But she was very fast, even though she was weakened. I thought that I had no chance to defeat her. The odds were on my side that day. If she was at full strength, I would have been annihilated. My weapons would have been useless. I know what she could do at full power."

Duncan was stricken by this, and wonder why this happened in the first place. He cracked his knuckles just for the heck of it. "And you defeated her? But why? Doesn't it make sense to avoid fighting? My opinion is that people should avoid fighting each other as much as possible. Violence is not the key to solve everything. Besides, doesn't it make you feel bad when you defeated her? You don't know if you killed her or not. Do you really feel happy that you could possibly taken a life from a person?! Think about that for a moment Pit!"

Pit's upbeat face dispersed and completely vanished. Sabin and Duncan noticed it as well. What appeared in its place is a face filled with regret and sorrow at what Duncan said. He let out a long sigh and shook his head from left to right. "Phosphora was my enemy at that time, with Viridi threatening to wipe out the humans, because she believes they upset the natural order. So I had no choice but to defeat her. I do however wish that she is okay and well. If she is truly dead and gone forever, then I have no further desire of fighting anymore except for when it is absolutely necessary. I don't know what I might do. Sabin, Duncan, all I wanted is a place that is peaceful, and everyone is not fighting. A world that isn't at war. A world that isn't feel with nonsense fighting. A world filled with unity. A world that is kind, friendly, and non-destructive."

Sabin, seeing Pit filled with regret, came over to him and comforted him. "It's okay Pit, it wasn't your fault. Besides, I believe that she is still alive. Pit, you can't just give up now! How is she as a person? I'm just curious, maybe you could find the one that you care about. You can't just judge them by what side they are on Pit. You have to look deeper. A persons personality and their actions that they depict towards you is far more important." Pit looked at Sabin with a frowning face and slowed replied with a slightly stuttering voice. "Before I fought her, I was traveling through out the Lighting Cloud Temple trying to find her. I still remember her, she was flirting with me and calling me cute. She even said that I have brains and brawn. My face turned red extremely quickly and I soon regained my focus after Lady Palutena told me that she was the enemy. Now that she is gone, I don't know. If Viridi has no commanders, how can she push on with her plans? But I digress. Sabin, you judge her yourself after I told you more about her. Ugh..."

Sabin was silent for a long time, thinking about what Pit has said. "Hm...the way she acts towards Pit would indicate a possible spark. The signs are there...but what is missing?" He then was looking at Pit in a odd way. "Thunder Cloud Temple?! What a original name for a place where someone wound have lightning powers. Duncan, have you heard of a place like this around here?" Duncan looked at Pit and Sabin in a confused state. He then began to scratch his head. "I have no idea what temple it is. But obvious name is obvious. It's as if I called my cabin 'Duncan's Dojo Training Grounds.' Sabin scoffed at this. "Whatever. I have a better idea about how to tell Pit the following. Do you know what I think Duncan? There is something that I have to tell Pit."

Duncan looked up after his name was called. "What you got Sabin? Something on your mind? Let me hear it will ya." He then looked at Sabin for a response. Duncan then saw that Sabin started to smirk, a lot. Duncan already knows where this is heading. "Oh dear. Here we go again. Let's hope Sabin doesn't do anything stupid." He then put his hand on his face. "This is not going to end so well. Pit, I hope you are prepare for the horrors that is about to come to you full force and with blazing guns." Pit looked up at Duncan. "What's the matter huh? Got something else for me to hear?"

Sabin then said something that took both Duncan and Pit completely by surprise. "Pit just got a girlfriend...first comes love, then comes marriage. Pit and Phosphora sitting in the tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Pit on the other hand gasped at this statement. "Wha...Wha WHAT?! I...I...Sabin. That will ne...never happen." It was clear that Pit began to stutter and his speaking also started to falter as well. Pit could feel a warm, burning sensation coming from his cheeks. Duncan was looking at Pit's behavioral changes. "Looks like someone had a shocking experience. Pit is going through the exact same thing as when I was much younger." He then scoot his chair a little bit further back, as it Duncan is starting to cramp up from sitting in one place for too long. Duncan then further aggravated the situation "Do you like her Pit? It looks like your having trouble staying focused. Even you turned red at that remark. HAHAHAHA. I know that you like her deep in your heart."

Pit could feel his cheeks turning red from embarrassment, he was getting a little bit uneasy. With his cheeks of nothing but red flowing, it was getting extremely hot. Pit is currently blushing at this moment. It was extremely easy for anyone to embarrass Pit. This is now the second time in a day that Pit's face is tomato red. In his mind, feelings started to develop towards her. But what was it that made her so special all of a sudden? Was it the smile? Was it her looks and personality. Pit feelings right now are still mixed towards Phosphora. Pit could feel the blood flowing from everywhere, as if his entire face was red hot and burning. Sabin then said something out loud that made Duncan face palm. "Pit..blushed! He blushed! Pit is nervous. The angel blushed! Pit likes Phosphora!" Sabin pointed at Pit, which only made him even more embarrassed.

This embarrassment also made Pit nervous to talk to both Duncan and Sabin, as he doesn't want to dive deeper and get more into this topic. "N...N...No. Um...I...um..." But the way that he said it didn't support his statement. Duncan took notice of this and looked at him, along with Sabin. Both of them put their hands up to their chins and started at him. "Yeah, you have proven by your actions that you definitely don't like her. Yeah, even Palutena is going to believe that by your actions." came Sabin's sarcastic reply. "Wait here guys, I'm going to step out for a few moments to get some fresh air" Duncan then walked quickly outside as Pit watched him. His face started to burn less and less, and the blush slowly dispersed. Pit was now calm once again, his nerves have dispersed once again.

Sabin looked at Pit. "Just kidding Pit. But you are welcome here any time, but Master Duncan could train you some blitz moves and such. About that, I heard about about a legendary scarf that is red and will grant the user permanent lighting powers and immortality. The scarf can be used to harness electricity. However, its other effects are unknown. No one has been able to get their hands on it. Either they retreat from the place or they die trying to get it. The last time someone went, it resulted in the same outcome. Death. This would be a challenge for us to go for, but I think that is definitely possible. They said that the impossible can be done."

"We haven't found it yet, maybe if there was someway to get it. Pit, what are you thoughts about this? Maybe you could help us on the possible quest in the future? I myself am still in the planning stages of this trip." Duncan asked. He was making a map, which was incomplete on the route that they have to take in the future.

Pit thought about this proposal for a couple of minutes, then he replied. "That seems interesting, which means if I get it, I will have the same powers as..." He then went to get the teapot and poured some of the tea into his cup. Pit's fingertips then grabbed it and he sipped the liquid without even thinking twice about it. "To be able to fly by myself would be an amazing reality. Maybe I could be like that one person." Pit thought. The memories of Pit's journey and the words that he spoke resurfaced here.

Pit: My wish would be, to fly by myself. I'll return to Skyworld victorious!

He recalled this and looked at both Sabin and Duncan. "These two people are some of the nicest people that I have ever met. Perhaps is certain that Viridi is wrong about the humans, and that is shown right here." Pit thought. A moment passed by with Pit remaining silent while Sabin and Duncan talked about the legendary lightning scarf that no one had been able to retrieve. Pit himself was also interested in this scarf. If he got it, Pit would gain powers that he had dreamed of in his world. Powers that he thought that he would never have gotten.

Sabin then stated. "Who ever finds it first, it is theirs to keep forever, used for harm or good. It's all up to the person, thought I would rather prefer the former. Pit could definitely be a great asset." Duncan turned his head to the right. "Agreed, having a three person is like having extra supports to a building." That is when the flightless angel reentered the conversation. "I am only an angel, but I am also seeking some interest in it, to use it for good. Just to let you guys know, in my world, I am immortal. That means I live forever. I don't age like you guys." Pit said.

"Unfortunately, I am not sure it is the case in our world." Duncan replied. A speechless expression came from Pit, "Wait..huh?! Duncan, what do you mean by that? Lady Palutena said that I am immortal. What makes you think that this is a completely different scenario now?"

"According to a book I read, it says that anyone from another world will age at the same rate as a human in our world right now, it doesn't matter if they are immortal in another world or not. Race does not apply, it can be anyone. That "anyone" includes you Pit." spoke Duncan with his wisdom. Perhaps being small would soon be an issue of the past. You could gain a taller perspective of the world." Sabin also spoke. "This might be a little awkward, but you will get use to it. We all had to go through this part of our lives in the past. You just haven't experienced it yet. It will also be one of the best parts about growing up."

Pit was concerned about this new twist, as this is going to be the first time that Pit will change and age. "That means I will not look like this forever?! I might look a little bit older as the years pass by? Maybe something is going to happen to me." He shook his head with worry. "I would no longer be a kid anyone, which leads to the 'Kid Icarus' being nullified. Shouldn't this be a concern to the both of you. There must be a way to stop this, Lady Palutena or the others may not recognize me anyone." He then looked back up at both Sabin and Duncan. "That would have been a scary thought. I mean, this kid face of mind will slowly change over the years."

"Unless you somehow find a way back to your world, then yes, you would age normally like us. You will soon slowly transition from a kid to a teenager." Duncan said. "Pit, you are about 12 to 13 right now, and I noticed that puberty hasn't done it's job yet. Expect it to come to you in a year or two. Aging will be a problem for you, since you are stuck here for the time being. Once you get back to your place, then you would be immortal once again. Am I clear on this Sabin?"

"Then we must find a way back for Pit, he is stuck here until a way can be found. Puberty hasn't hit Pit yet, but it's just a matter of time. And oh my, I am going to enjoy the heck out of it. Hahahahaha!" And their Sabin goes again, being mischievous. Duncan could only watch as Pit began to turn once again. "After that, I think Sabin took that joke a little bit to far for my liking." Pit on the other hand blushed once again, this time at Sabin's comment about him. "Sabin...wow...just...wow."

Sabin turned and noticed Pit blushing like mad. His entire face was tomato red, and Pit looked away sheepishly. "Oh, someone is afraid! Something wrong about that Pit? You know that the girls will like you." Sabin teased Pit for fun. Duncan sighed at this, as it reminded him of the times that he used to have while he was about the same age as Sabin. Duncan then scratched his gray hair to offset the itch that he was experiencing right now.

"It the fact that...th... I will never...never...be...never mind." Pit said. He then turned back to face both Duncan and Sabin. It was a long time before anyone spoke, about one minute. Duncan finally broke the silent streak. "We will make some dinner for Pit. In the meantime, you should get some rest, as you don't have anything as a mean for a weapon. And getting enough sleep is always good on the body. Without a weapon to use, you are utterly defenseless if you one day decide to venture out into the world." With that being said, Duncan stood up and began to pull out the pots and the dishes. He then pointed to Sabin. "We are running low on some meat and vegetables. Will you go outside to harvest some and buy some at South Figaro?" Sabin nodded at this. "Sure thing Duncan, I'll be back soon. Keep an eye out for Pit, we need him to be in the best of health. Alert me immediately if something goes terribly wrong." Pit looked at Sabin as he exited out the doorway and out of sight.

Pit looked around, with the Poseidon Cannon nowhere to be found. It was somehow how lost. He looked outside to the fields with its beautiful grass, blowing around as the sky turns into a yellow and red hue. As the sun was setting, the light slowly faded away into the darkness. Pit turned away and looked at the food that Duncan was cooking. Sabin then arrived with a load of meat and some vegetables such as tomatoes, carrots, and mushrooms, and some onions. "Here is the items Duncan. I am so encumbered by how heavy this is, even for me. I just got some from outside and harvested the ones that were ready." He gave it to Duncan, who put it on a kitchen table. Sabin then walked over and sat down right now to Pit. It seemed to be some form of beef stew. Pit felt his tummy rumbling, as he could smell the stew cooking slowly. He didn't ate since Palutena's lunch, and who knows how long ago that happened. "Getting hungry Pit? Don't worry, the dinner is about to be done soon. I myself am a heavy eater. It keeps my muscles strong you know?" Sabin said. Pit then got up to check the dishes before sitting back down at his spot. "Can't wait for that, smells extremely delicious." Sabin was observing what Pit was doing. "Interesting kid I say. A upbeat, friendly angel, and easy to talk to. It is as if he was my younger brother, that is, if I had another one in the first place. He definitely has potential to be successful in the future." Sabin thought.

Sabin was taken aback by Pit's wings. Naturally, Sabin assumed that angels can fly, since they use their wings. Naturally, Pit should have been no different. "So you have wings, right Pit? Does that mean you can fly? It's okay if you don't want to talk about it, but it's your call Pit." Something about Pit's wings does not seem right. If he can fly, then Pit would be flying right now. That is not the case, which confused Sabin. He then looked at Pit, waiting for something to come out of his mouth.

"I perfect to not like people talking about my wings, but I tell you. Not on my own unfortunately. Lady Palutena has to give me the Power of Flight. That is what is called. That is the only way I can fly. There is no other alternatives. Palutena is the only reason I can fly at certain times." Pit said.

"Power of Flight?! Sounds like a thing that helps you to fly across the sky." Sabin remarked. Duncan also heard what Pit said to Sabin, so he stopped steering the stew to turn all the way around to face Pit, who was waiting for the both of them. "What is the Power of Flight Pit? I mean, what it's use for and how useful is it?" Duncan asked Pit.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Pit to speak in a formal tone. "Maybe that's why it's called 'Power of Flight'. Anyways, it is the power that allows me to fly, as it allows me five minutes of flight. Like I said before, the only one who can activate my Power of Flight is Lady Palutena, and even that is limited, since there is a cool down. "5 minutes?! Wow...that is just awful. How on earth can you use five minutes to get or control where you go in the first place. Heck, I can only get up and start washing by face before the five minutes is up." Duncan replied in disbelief. Pit was a little stricken at this, but nevertheless gave Duncan a slight frown. "Still Duncan, won't you admit that five minutes is better than nothing?" A loud and deep 'ahem' came from Duncan. "Whatever, I suppose so. I need to cook dinner for all for us." He then turned to the kitchen again to continue stirring the beef stew and adding vegetables and meat into the pot.

Sabin on the contrary kept chatting. "It's potential is limited though, correct? I mean, five minutes isn't enough for getting far. What happens when you run out of this "Power of Flight? Sounds like something bad will happen if you keep your 'Power of Flight' on for too long."

Pit agreed with Sabin by giving him a yes shake. "Right. Once it runs out, I have to continue on ground. I don't have any control on my flight path, or direction. Lady Palutena is the one who controls it. I only have control over my movement and aim." Sabin was surprised. "What? If you only have control over your movement in the air, then that power the Palutena gives you is just merely a vessel to get from one place to another. Hmm...for me, that is like having no control over where you go. Don't you feel restricted?"

It was then that Duncan prepared the dinner and it was ready. "Ah yes, the dinner is finally ready." He delivered the three bowls of food for one of each. Each of the bowls were decently sized. They are big enough to be considered a meal. Pit was so hungry that he dug in with his utensils and didn't stop eating until the whole plate was gone. Meanwhile, Duncan and Sabin were eating their beef stew at a normal pace. Their reaction to Pit's eating was jaw dropping. "Well...that escalated quickly. Pit, I think you just ate a little bit too fast for your stomach to digest." Duncan said in amazement.

Sabin also added in with Duncan. "Looks like someone is hungry. In fact, Pit is so hungry that his stomach capacity is almost endless, much like a huge fuel tank. Wow, if you could give him anything right now, he would wolf it down in no time." A sinking feeling hit Duncan, his stomach rumbling still from being a little too empty. It was now a little bit too long since the last time that Duncan ate.

"Yep, I always go for seconds and thirds. If I like it, I will eat until my stomach is full. This right here is too amazing to stop eating." Pit said. He then picked up his spoon and continue feast until the bowl was devoid of all of it's contents. The bowl at this point was completely empty, with every meat and soup completely gone. "Oh my. Everything from that bowl is completely gone." Sabin thought.

Duncan then realized what was the right thing to do about Pit's eating. "Or maybe...someone has a bottomless PIT. Hahahahaha, you get that part Sabin?" Sabin took a moment to realize what kind of joke Duncan made. Sabin let out a chuckle, then Duncan did the same. It quickly escalated into a extremely loud laugh that caught Pit off guard. Sabin and Duncan began to laugh without any control. It got louder and louder, to the point of hysteria. Pit looked at them and face palmed. "Seriously? Really, now, that was such an unoriginal pun." He looked at them because they were currently fooling around. This moment reminded Pit a lot about Lady Palutena. She also had a mischievous side that appears from time to time.

It took a while before the laughs died down from both Duncan and Sabin. "We just lost control there. Man, that was too hard not to resist!" Sabin said. Duncan then went up and took all of the plates and dishes away from the table and began to clean them up in the sink. "Pit, before you can go out and fight, I think I should start teaching you the exact same things the Sabin learned. Trust me, it going to be a little bit more challenging than expected. But I believe once you are old enough, we will set out on a adventure. I don't thing you are strong enough yet. Fortunately, we can toughen you up in the upcoming years."

Pit looked at Duncan without saying a word. Then he looked back at the wall. He was thinking about what Lady Palutena is doing right now, and how Pit was alone without her. But this is the real reality now. Pit is now stuck with Sabin and Edgar, and for the future of the flightless angel, it remains uncertain at the moment. Pit's home was a long...long...long...long...long..distance away. Who knows? Maybe the gods are still at war in Pit's dimension.
