(Y/n)'s POV)

     "We have searched the entire forest!" after I had calmed down, we had gone on a search of the staff I had stressed over to no end. And if I truly was a goddess, I would stress over how I could have saved Blue for the rest of eternity. I didn't know if I was immortal or not, (with Atë in my soul) but I wasn't ready to find out the extent of my powers.

     "Relax, it might be in some bush we didn't check." Phosphora's words only made my stress turn to frustration.

     "Please don't tell me you skipped some bushes knowing they were there," I gave her a slight glare.

     "In my defense, I was unsupervised," she replied casually.

     I suppressed the urge to slap her and changed the subject. "So, what do you even eat out here in the wild?"

     "Well, I am GLAD you asked!" her tone bounced like a kid on a trampoline after he gorged himself on Halloween candy. We walked into the cave, "I was actually going to go hunt before you came along."

     "Hunt?" I listened intently to her words. Phosphora? Hunt? I never would have thought that was in her range of skill.

     "In this cave, we live like cave dwellers and eat like queens!" she proudly announced her roleplay-based delusions. "Hunting would be a part of living."

     "You know how to hunt?" I asked, curious why she would commit to something that was so... not her style.

     "I'm a goddess. Viridi practically had me fight off underworld guards on the daily," she retorted with a claim that was no less than obvious.

     "O-oh, sorry," I apologized at my dumbness.

     "No time for formalities! We have to hunt!" she grabbed a makeshift bow and sharpened twigs to play as arrows.

     "Wait. I'm coming too?" I paused as she rushed to the entrance.

     "Du! This is for you," she motioned to the bow in her hand. "Come on!"

     With that, we rushed out into the forest, which we had just noticed was far too dark to see in. "How are we suppose to see anything out here?"

     "Yeah, let's come back tomorrow."

(Dark Pit's POV)

     Another meeting, another chance to try and complete our impossible mission. Since Phosphora had been fired, Viridi requested Arlon and me to join in on the madness. With barely any luck of finding (Y/n), we had to regroup and make a new plan. I fiddled with the strap of the messenger bag I had with me as Virdi, Arlon and I entered Palutena's meeting room.

     "I officially call this meeting to order!" Palutena banged a gavel on the table as if we were in a murder trial. Some murder. "Allow me to readdress why we have all been summoned to this meeting: In the shortest terms, (Y/n) is missing and our missing posters are similar enough to be confused with the infamous wanted posters covering the Mt. Olympus."

     "Wanted posters?" I asked, puzzled. Was (Y/n) a criminal now? "What did she do this time?"

     "The city guards put them up after the scene at the birthday party. Zuse was quick to put a reward on someone he thinks of as an enemy of sorts," she replied.

     "I'm not surprised," sighed Viridi, and honestly, neither was I. "Zeus jumps at the opportunity to take down anyone that challenges his plans and authority."

     "What a control freak," I whisper under my breath, but no one seemed to hear.

"Our last plan obviously was blown out of the water, and we will need to be more discreet about our approach this time," when the goddess finished stating the obvious, Arlon decided it was about time we get something productive done.
