And bathed in this light man grew food and lived in peace. However, Medusa the goddess of darkness was different. Medusa hated mankind. She took great pleasure in drying up the crops that man took great pains to grow and in turning people into stone statues. In her anger Palutena changed Medusa into an ugly monster and banished her to the deep, dark Underworld. For being changed into this ugly monster and forced to live in theUnderworld, Medusa promised to take over the Palace in the Sky where Palutena lived. So great was Meduso’s anger that she joined forces with the monsters and evil spirits of the Underworld and Medusa’a army soon began to surpass Palutena’s army in strength. Soon a war between Palutena and Medusa began. Medusa led a surprise attack on Palutena’s army which could barely fend off Palutena’s army suffered major losses 339S9$$O$SS5S$SO59SSOO0bSSFSS CSO FOFSF90S9S9 09 99F99 09999599909 99F0- ‘and was heavily defeated in the final battle. What's more, Medusa’s army took the Three Sacred Treasures - the Mirror Shield, the Arrow of Light, and the Wings of Pegasus - away from them. Almost all of the warriors in Palutena’s army were turned into stone statues and Palutena herself was im- prisoned deep in the Palace in the Sky. The peaceful realm of Angel Land came to be inhabited by foul and terrible monsters and was turned into a land of darkness ruled byILLIA V ITT the wicked Medusa. Locked in the depths of the Palace in the Sky, Palutena’s strength was drained to its last. As a last resort, she sought the help of the angel youth Pit who was being held prisoner locked in a deep dungeon in the Underworld. Pit was a valiant warrior who used to be in charge of Palutena’s personal bodyguards. Armed with a 2 A bow and arrow brought to him through Palutena’s magical strength, Pit attempted an escape was low in number as Medusa’s army had advanced to the Palace in the Sky. Pit succeeded in his escape and set out on his long adventure to rescue Palutena. Yet to defeat Medusa he had to get the Three Sacred Treasures. Will Pit be able to restore Palutena’s light and return it to Angel Land? Only you can answer that question.How to Start Playing Kid Icarus 1. Title 2.
