RETURN of the DARK LORD
CHAPTER ONE
Painful Memories
The wind was blowing violently against the roof of Super Mario's small and uncomfortably cramped house. He lay on his small bed, still awake from the haunting of his nightmares. He looked hopefully at his twin brother in the bed next to him. *I shouldn't wake him*, he thought to himself.
Super Mario and his brother lived in the Mushroom World, a world quite different from any other. It was split into many kingdoms, some of those being the Mushroom Kingdom, Sarasaland, the Beanbean Kingdom, and the Dinosaur Islands. He used to live in the busy city that was Brooklyn, New York, but due to a frightening twist of fate, he was brought to the Mushroom World.
The small man rose from his bed and walked groggily into their even smaller bathroom. He looked into his reflection in the mirror.
It stared back at him.
He studied his reflection: intense blue eyes, brown hair, and a bushy black mustache. He sighed when he realized he had deep circles under his eyes. Super Mario turned on the water faucet and cupped his hands under the cool stream. He swirled it around a bit in his hands before splashing it in his face.
*Just wake up*.
He reached for a towel and dabbed it over his forehead before wiping his face dry. He tossed it on the counter, turned off the water, and went back to bed, wishing only for sleep.
----------
The morning came before he knew it. His nose caught on to the scent of bacon, and he followed it into the kitchen, only to find his younger brother cooking breakfast. Luigi was his name, and he carried the same features as Mario, blue eyes, brown hair, black mustache, and the difference physically was that Luigi was taller and a bit slimmer than his twin.
"Good morning," he said. Mario didn't reply, but took a seat at the round wooden table. A plate of bacon and eggs was set before him about five minutes later, and Luigi sat down across from him. Mario's mind was still on the events of last night.
No one spoke.
----------
Super Mario left their house soon after. The weather had cleared up a bit since last night, which made Super Mario feel a bit better. He strode down a dirt path and passed through a small bunch of trees. There was a great clearing on the other side, and not too far was Toadtown, the city just south of the princess' castle. The Mario brothers had saved the princess (actually, the whole kingdom) from an evil creature called Bowser. His army of mutated turtles (better known as koopas) invaded and turned everyone to stone, imprisoned the princess, and took control of everything. When the Mario brothers arrived, they were confronted by seven star-like beings (who watched over the land) and were informed that here, they had powers beyond their imagination, and it was their duty to defeat Bowser and rescue the princess.
Bowser was run out of the kingdom, and wasn't heard from again.
He and the princess (after she was saved) became rather fond of each other, and soon fell in love. Super Mario was currently on his way to visit her, for he knew she could get his mind off of things....
Or at least he hoped.
