A Kid Icarus story?! Right as the weekend drops on by? Life is looking up, haha! Well, anyway. I didn't know what this story was going to be about at first, and was hoping that it might share my love of historical horror - in a manner, it does, but the clincher at the end caught me by surprise and made me do a double-take - the best kind. Uprising is such a good game... Anyway.

On the one hand, you could choose to interpret the ending as happy. On the other... Is the young age of Pit's 'conversion' taken directly from a quote by Sakurai? Either way, it worked well. I also liked that the soldier who killed him simply waded back into the melee. Proud, then, of killing a 14-year old. It's a fear that I think gets more frightening the older you get...

Monkshood, for the detached feeling of combat and loss, and a lurking fear of danger. I was going to try to do something punny/thematically appropriate with Hyacinth or Narcissus, but nothing clever came to mind, eheheh!
