pits bed felt fuller than usual
fluffier
the lighter angel got up and looked at the pile of feathers
now, one or two was normal, from tossing and turning
but this time, a whole bunch of them spread across the bed sheets
shit.
he ran to the mirror to find is wings has little holes and edges to where feathers should be
"PALUTENA!" he screamed
hearing his scream, she ran to her room, as a mother would
she always thought of him like a son
"pit wh-"
she stared at the bed
"oh no,,,,no thi- this can't be happening-" she ran to the bed
grabbing the feathers
tears filling her eyes
she knew what this ment
"palutena,,,what's going on.."
she stared at him
tears fell down her cheeks like raindrops on a car window
"pit,,,,,your wings are molting,,,,which means,,,,"
she couldn't look at him
"it means,,,,you'll be heading back to earth"
pit froze
he hated earth. everyone was mean and no one liked him
it was dirty and the humans destroyed it any way they could
"palutena,,,,,no,,,"
she got up and hugged him
thousands of feathers fell to their feet from the force
"i'll miss you pit. you were a son to me."
she looked into his ocean blue eyes
"be nice to your earthy mother , eh?"
"n-no,,,palutena,,,,y-"
pit won't remember her
pit won't remember anything about his angel life
pit won't even be called pit ,,,,
suddenly
pit was wingless
his body started fading
"i love you, palutena. please,,,be nice to pittoo for me,,,,"
he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek
his hands were shaking
his face hot from crying
"i love you pit. come visit me one day, okay?"
before pit could answer
his body was sent back to earth
as soon as this happened
the feathers faded
his room wiped white
the only thing left
was a little picture book.
the one palutena got for him for christmas
palutena opened it, slowly
the characters, as always, danced on the pages
their dazzling outfits sparkled
their smiles bright and beautiful
at the back
there was a little message
"dear pit, you are like a son to me, and i'll do anything to make you happy, here's to make you feel like you can read, i'll teach you some day! promise!
xoxo palutena"
at that moment
a tear fell on the page
that turned into many
palutena burried her head in the book
and sobbed

after picking up flowers for his mum for her birthday, pit stopped in the town
a statue of a lady with green hair was in the middle of the busy town
pit looked up at it
and couldn't help
but smile
he didn't know why
but he felt content around that statue
he picked a flower from the bunch and set it at her feet
