Super Smash Bros. - Wolf Song [Book #1]

Chapter 5 - No Place like Home

It had gotten rather late very suddenly. We had all spoken a lot longer than we anticipated, and I don't think I've ever spoken to anyone for such lengthy time. I talked a fair bit, but only after everyone had properly introduced themselves, which too took longer than needed. Of course, I already knew their names and lives.

Because it was late, some smashers begun leaving the table to go to their rooms and rest. Unbeknownst to my small group and I, we were the last ones at the table. Soon after, we left also.

I didn't have my own room yet. So for the meantime I would be sharing rooms with Samus, since she didn't have anyone to share with. There just so happened to be a spare bed with pillows and everything else. I didn't sleep all that particularly well though, since I've already slept for 3 days straight. A better way to put it would be to say that I was majorly "jet-lagged."

The following morning was rather boisterous indeed, for some unknown reason to myself. It appeared that everyone was well rested, despite how late we all went to bed. Breakfast was eaten in the same room as we ate dinner. I feel like I am going to always find something new about that room. It is literally, the size of a circus tent. Well, from what I assume would be big anyway. 

I saw Robin sluggishly make his way over to us, but he looked like he was sick with the flu or something, like he hadn't slept at all! The dark rings under his eyes made him almost look possessed. He came to where myself and everyone else sat, and the others quickly noticed what I saw.

"Gods Robin, You look dreadful!" Lucina was the first to speak. 

"Yeah well, I didn't have the best sleep last night."

"Why? Dreams?" Questioned Samus. 

"Uhhh, yes and no. I just... you know what? I'm hungry. I'm going to get some food," Robin struggled to respond. Once he left, we were all a bit worried about him.

"Poor Robin, what's the guy been doing anyways?" Pit spoke solemnly. Spontaneously I remembered Robin acting very suspicious the night before, asking questions about my necklace. What was he doing? Once I vaguely thought about it, I didn't really know Robin or his origins. 

"What can you guys tell me about Robin? Like, his past and stuff," I said, a little bit bashful that I basically knew everyone else rather well except for Robin, my main.

At first no one responded to my question, they all stared at eachother. It's almost like they were speaking through facial expressions, asking everyone "Are you going to tell her"? 

"Do you mean from his dimension? Or his entire life?"

"I guess anything at all...? I remember he was acting strange around me last night. Whilst we were talking, he started asking me questions and kept on staring at this necklace I wear."

Someone was about to speak up, but then Robin returned to his chair. I figured that being around Robin was probably making his morning slightly more complex than it needed to be, filling his head with unnecessary thoughts and questions from last night. I'd finished my meal anyway. 

"If it's alright," I paused, "I think I might take a walk around the Mansion, get to know the place a little better?" 

"That's fine. Will you be alright on your own?" Link asked. 

Reluctantly, I began to admit, "...I may get lost, but I'll be fi-" 

"I'll go with you!" Pit very suddenly raised his hand, as if he were volunteering as tribute. 

"Oh, y-yeah sure! You can come."

"Great! I can give you a tour of the whole place! Let's go! right now!" Pit grabbed hold of my wrist and practically dragged me out of the room. We first went to where everyone's dorms were, since I barely had any idea where Samus and I were walking last night. Felt very much like a labyrinth.
