Sarasa Nightmare

Chapter 2-2

Luigi came to a hard stop when Fice T. – the Toad who helped him get into the castle – led him into the throne room.

"I can slay any monster, myself!" a female in a long yellow dress exclaimed angrily.

The dress had puffy arms, and the skirt was made up of two shades of yellow, the lighter shade looking almost to be designed into giant petals. She had glistening chocolate brown hair, and her eyes were bright blue, though they currently gleamed with a fire of rage.

He couldn't quite place what the dress reminded him of...

"A lady shouldn't be getting involved in such things, Princess," an exasperated voice came from the Koopatrol standing next to her.

"Daisy," Luigi half-gasped, half-mumbled, finally putting the dress together as he took a step back.

The eyes of the Koopatrol and Daisy turned to stare at him.

"Ahem," Fice T. cleared his throat loudly. " Princess, I've brought Luigi here to help with our monster problem."

Daisy looked toward the Toad. "Luigi? Am I supposed to know that name?"

"I'm no one, miss, just someone who thought I could help," Luigi said instantly.

Fice T. glanced back toward Luigi before leaning forward and hissing, "It's Mario's little brother."

Luigi's hands clenched as he was unable to help but overhear Fice T.s words.

"I didn't even know Mario had a brother." Daisy looked him up and down, her eyes locking on his clenched fists briefly.

"Well, now you do." Fice T. crossed his arms over his chest.

"Hmmm... I don't know about that, but I know no ones have done miraculous things before. Show him to a room, why don't you? I'll talk to him later. After all, maybe he can help." She turned back to the Koopatrol. "Now then, Spiky Tom, where do you get off telling..."

"Come on," Fice T. said, practically dragging Luigi away from the throne room.
