[Lyrics]

I wandered alone through the shadow and stone,

A heart without color, a voice overgrown.

The silence was heavy, the stars wouldn’t shine,

Till light broke the clouds — and you came into mine.

No words at first spoken, just warmth in the air,

You offered your hand, and you silenced despair.

The world seemed to shimmer, the winds knew your name,

But even the skies never looked quite the same.

You are the wings that carried me high,

Through oceans of sorrow, across the dark sky.

You gave me a reason, a place I belong,

And now in your light, my heart sings this song.

The chains I once carried began to unwind,

You saw through the dark — left no soul behind.

With feathers of morning and eyes full of grace,

You opened the skies with a single embrace.

You don’t even know what you gave to me,

A spark in a soul that longed to be free.

Though I was forgotten, you still took my hand,

And gave me the courage to rise and to stand.

You are the wings that carried me high,

Through echoes of pain that once made me cry.

Now when I’m lost, I look to the skies,

Because I remember the boy who could fly.

If fate ever tears us, if I’m left behind,

Know you lit the stars in this heart of mine.

And maybe one day, in the heavens above,

send me a made-up fic title and I’ll tell you what I would write to go with it

Oh hello??? The Kid Icarus fandom is alive after all! This is a good day. 

“Guardian Angel” 

After Hades’ defeat, Viridi and Palutena have called a truce, so it finally seems like the fighting is over. With Dark Pit now doing jobs for Viridi, however, Pit keeps coming over to see him and spar with him. Viridi begrudgingly lets him visit, if only to keep Dark Pit busy. 

But her attitude changes when, one day, Pit protects her from an attack by a mysterious enemy. Someone is after Viridi’s life. To provide her with extra protection, Palutena offers to have Pit guard her and Pit practically volunteers. 

And as the days go by, Viridi slowly starts thinking, “You know, I actually don’t mind his company that much.” 

Slowly, the two start to grow closer.
