How to Find the Wish Seed (Sequel to "The Goddess of Bad Luck")

The "Bad Luck" Tragedy

(Pit's POV)

     The new mission? As Lady Palutena had explained it, we were going to find the wish seed and wish for (Y/n) to come home and Zeus never would remember what happened at the birthday party. I think that's two wishes, so maybe we were going to just wish for the part about Zeus's memory loss. I would just leave Pitoo in charge of that part.

     Anyway, we were going to do it by asking him to schedule a meeting over dinner to talk things out. Of course, he was hesitant, but Lady Palutena pulled a fast one and said, "We had banished her from Skyworld for her crimes. She will not be coming back and we would just like to talk it over with you, just to be clear."

     I shivered at what a good liar she was. Usually, Lady Palutena loves talking about everything she knows and over-explaining to the group. This apparently wasn't one of those times. But the night of the dinner party three days later had come far too quickly. Don't get me wrong, I'm always up for food, but I wouldn't be getting any because me and Pitoo have to break into the dungeon and find the wish seed without getting caught. If there was a mission I didn't want to go on, it was this one.

     "Ready to go, Pitoo?" I asked as Lady Palutena, Viridi, and Arlon all stepped into the gates, where Zeus was waiting to welcome them. That's right, I wasn't getting ANY FOOD! All that floor ice cream would go to waste.

     "Yeah, let's move," he grunted. "And don't call me that!"

     We dressed as olympian soldiers, protecting the castle, so it wouldn't be too difficult to get around. Pitoo and I snuck from our 'posts' and roamed the halls, trying our best not to look suspicious. That's when we heard something.

     "You two! Dark hair and the other one!" a man from behind us yelled, and I swore my heart stopped beating for a hot second. Who did he think he was calling THE OTHER ONE!? "State your names and current post."

"We..." I blacked out in a state of panic. "We were going to the dungeon to..."

     "... we were just re-assigned to the dungeon because there was a rat infestation!" Pitoo cut in, potentially saving both of our lives. For once, my emo brother did something besides being super edgy.

     "Oh, move along then," commanded the soldier. "We have guests in the castle who definitely DON'T need to know about that."

     "On it, sir!" Pitoo and I saluted and rushed to the dungeon as fast as we could find it. Looking through the entire dungeon was not going to b as easy as I had originally expected. THE PLACE WAS HUGE!!!

     "Pitoo! How are we gonna find anything in here?" I groaned. "It's a mess!"

     "You've been through Pandora's labyrinth," he sighed. "Grow up."

     I pouted as we began to explore the maze.

(Blue's POV)

     Where was I? When was I? Most promptly of all, WHY was I anymore?

     Such questions tumbled through my brain as I tried to comprehend where I was and what I was doing there. One minute I close my eyes and the next I was in a room unique to the rest. It was spine-chilling in the endless corridors of wherever I was. Simply put, it seemed like a road to nowhere.

     My limp bones only had skin and acutely cut fur to keep warm, and the cold broke through the forces, nibbling away at me. It was pure fact that the sickness would take if not for some miracle. I opened my eyes again; I could comprehend what was around me. I was being carried around by the human. Her arms were the only thing keeping my nimble body warm.
