Pisanio, now going by the name Pit, found himself in a cloister, and promptly fainted from exhaustion.

Dark looked outside, and spotted Pit easily.  Deciding to be nice for once (instead of being vicious as he trained himself to do), he took the unconscious boy home, and tried to get him to wake up.

Eventually, he woke and introduced himself as Pit.  Pit, undoubtedly, was horrible with housework (or anything that required actual work.)  It reminded him of Link in the beginning, though he had gotten better quickly.

Sighing, he tried to push the memories out of his mind, but they persisted, and played through his mind.

His father never liked him after his birth-said his mother died for him.  He was even further discriminated because of his clothes-his hair (white) already singled him out, and his outfit (black) made him even more obvious, if possible.

The children with their blonde hair and green outfits made fun of him, teasing mercilessly, and he found that he started to hate the world.

However, he found refuge with his step-mother, who loved him as if he was her own son.

One day, he found an injured robin, and brought it to his mother quite proudly.  Somewhat hoping to keep it as a pet, and maybe getting an actual friend that wasn’t also family, he tried to persuade his mother into letting him keep it.

Instead, his mother released the bird, saying that it shouldn’t be kept captive.  While Dark mourned the loss of his bird, he moved on, and tended to ignore most people.  At one point, he was tempted to apologize to his step-mother for living, and she reprimanded him for speaking like that.

He decided to never voice his remorse for existing, even if he did feel as if he shouldn’t exist in the first place.  It became worse when his step-mother passed away from illness, as he knew would happen in the end.  However, he still kept silent, constantly repeating in his, ‘I’m sorry for existing.’

One day, he happened upon an unconscious boy who was lying near his favorite tree.  Taking pity on him, and deciding that something good might happen if he helped, Dark sat next to him, trying to wake him up.  Soon, bright blue eyes were revealed, and Dark was amazed.

This person that he found, someone who would fit in especially well with the people who lived in the same village he did, physically resembled him, and Dark couldn’t help but wonder why that was.  Pushing those curious thoughts aside, he brought this stranger to the house he shared with his step-mother (as his father died long ago.)

“Who are you,” Dark couldn’t help asking after the stranger was familiar with everything (at least, Dark hoped he was.  He didn’t feel like attempting to help this person with everyday utensils, etc.)

Those blue eyes widened, as if surprised, but Dark received a reply, albeit, a short one.  “Link.”

However, that would suffice, as Dark wasn’t planning on becoming close to him.  Once this boy was exposed to the world around them, he would treat Dark with contempt and hatred as his peers often did.  His mother soon entered, and greeted him with the same courtesy that she greeted everyone else.

Link and Dark grew close to each other, but Link was also loved by the villagers that despised him.  It hurt, knowing that Link’s opinion of him may turn at any moment, but Dark put on a brave face if only to keep his friend from finding out about his pain.

Once his mother (step-mother, technically) died, Link managed to convince Dark to move to another place, in hopes of moving on from this village.  Dark agreed, quite eagerly, after Link suggested it (and said a few other things.)

They quickly arrived in the new town, and assumed jobs for a family, the Freesis.  Dark was quickly accepted, but Mrs. Freesis didn’t like Link (he later found out it was because of the discrimination caused by those in his village-he wasn’t too shocked.)

They managed to convince her that Link was different, and even she took a liking to him.  The two of them worked, until that night Ike (the Prince of Blue) met Link.  The prince said that the two should run away and elope (Dark didn’t miss the look of confusion on Link’s face), and Link had politely declined.

However, word of this (and the fact that Ike sent a letter to Pisanio stating that they wouldn’t be marrying) started what was known as the “Green Hunt”.  No one else in Evillious had green clothing, and the people wanted to rid of their clothing (or move), but found it near impossible.

Dark, trying to change his clothes with Link, realized it wouldn’t work as they were also looking for one with blonde hair (his hair was platinum-blonde, very similar to silver.)  So, in the end, Mr. Freesis hid Link in a well, in which he immediately told one of the boys (Pisanio’s servant) the location of Link-Mr. Freesis told him it was safe because that boy wanted to protect Link.

He found that Link died and while tempted to help Samus with her revolution against the prince, decided to help the survivors of the “Green Hunt.”  He heard that the Prince shortly died after the offer was given to him, but he didn’t care too much, as Link would still be dead.

Dark was brought to the present by the stirring of his long-time companion.  Watching the other leave, he decided that he would go pray for Link, but not before visiting some cooks.

He came upon Pit in the room, and heard his confession-it startled Dark, to know that he was helping the person responsible for his friend’s death.  From that night, he started to plan his revenge, which would involve a knife in Pisanio’s back.

A few nights later, when Pit was sitting on the edge of the harbor, he snuck up, planning on stabbing him.  However, he was stopped when he saw a boy, who silently told him not to stab Pit.  Also, hearing the confessions from Pit, Dark couldn’t help but think that this boy, the Prince of Evil, was so similar to him.

Finding no heart to kill Pit, he walked away, wondering about the boy who appeared before him.  However, he recognized the other person, an evil-looking Marth.

Smiling, he realized that Pit’s cooking skills (which were horrendous at first) had gotten better.

“Today’s brioches are good…”
