Chapter Text
(Luigi POV)
“Prince Luigi, we need you to stay in your room for the rest of the day. We will have some visitors, it’s best to not get into the details for now.” The King says as we walk towards my bedroom. Visitors?
“Uh sure, I can do that.” I say, we finally arrive at my room. The king shakes my hand, he calls out to my bodyguard. “Stay in here no matter what, don’t leave. Skipper will-” The King looks around and sighs, he lets go of my hand. “SKIPPER!!!” I chuckle nervously as the King yells out to my bodyguard.
Skipper probably got distracted when we passed through the kitchen area earlier, he is always looking to eat some Cheep Cheep. A Cheep Cheep is basically the same as a fish in this world. I learned that on my first day here.
Skipper arrives, walking in from the kitchen room. “Yes?” Skipper says as he takes short, quick breaths through his beak. It’s obvious he ran over him, he always does this.
“Stay with Prince Luigi, I mean it. Don’t wander off this time, got it?” The King says in a serious tone. I wonder who the visitors are… he told me it’s best I don’t know, so I shouldn’t worry about it.
“Got it!” Skipper salutes and tries to make a serious face but I can tell he is fighting a smile.
“Good.” The King faces towards me. “Prince Luigi, I will be off now, stay in here, no matter what.” The King says, he looks at my eyes. I could tell he is super serious about this, which makes me nervous. And worried about who exactly are the visitors and what are they here for.
I wave at him, “See you tomorrow!” I enter my bedroom and Skipper follows me. He closes the door behind us. And stands at the door, guarding it.
This room is completely different than the one I had back in Brooklyn. I did decorate it to look a bit more like it but I didn’t do a good job at that.
I go over to my bed and lay down. The bed feels like a cloud right now, I feel like I could stay here and never get back up. My pillow falls to the floor, I sigh, not really wanting to get up but I do anyway.
I get up from my bed and go reach for my pillow; as I reach for my pillow, I see something under my bed. I reach out and take it. The cover and back are blue and the side is white. I got this a while back when I first became prince, I haven't touched it since I keep forgetting about it. I forgot I put it here.
I look around the room, I go sit down in a chair and put the journal on the desk in front of me. I have some free time right now, so I should write something down. I do have a lot on my mind after all.
I open a drawer and grab a pen, I close the drawer. What should I write down? I guess I should start from the beginning.
HELLO, I am Luigi! :D
A year ago, I fell into this strange world. When I say strange, I mean strange, penguins can talk here... it's not something I think about a lot anymore, I've gotten used to it.
I fell into what I think is the Penguin Kingdom, I don’t really know what this Kingdom is called, I just named it because the only things here are penguins.
They let me stay here in a guest room when I first arrived, they were very welcoming towards me. I am glad they were the ones who found me.
After staying here for a few months, they asked me something peculiar. They asked if I wanted to be their prince. I didn't exactly give them a clear answer to that question; I guess since I didn't answer it, they thought that meant a yes.
They convinced me to become their prince, they are very persuasive penguins. Being a prince isn't that bad of a thing, it has its up's and down's. One of the downsides is that I have to train every Friday for 5 hours. And an upside is that I get to have such a huge bedroom!
I don’t really plan on staying here though, I will leave one day to go find my brother.
I am certain that they think that because I'm human I will be able to help them from threats, I don’t think I will be able to if it came to that. I wonder how strong humans are in this world if they think I can protect them from threats. I'd rather not think about it.
They didn't really tell me why they wanted me to become their prince, they said they have their reasons. I just come up with my own for the time being.
After I became prince, they told a little bit more about this new world I am in. More about the kingdoms actually. There is the Kong Kingdom which they explained are just huge apes who love to fight, the Mushroom Kingdom with a human princess and small toads, and the Koopa Kingdom. They didn’t tell me a lot about them, just that the Koopa Kingdom should not be trusted at all. I'm guessing we have a peace treaty with most kingdoms, the good ones. There is also Sarasaland, it's a far away place, so they didn't have much information about that specific kingdom.
I do believe them when they said that Koopas should not be trusted, just because in the way they described the Koopas.
Scary turtles who walk on two legs with fangs and! Are barbarians with their only goal being destruction and chaos. I would not want to run into one!
I wonder if my brother has run into one? I wonder if he landed with them, probably not. I’m still worried about my brother, I have no idea where my brother ended up. For all I know, he could be on the opposite side of the whole planet! I don’t remember the day well… the day I landed here. It’s all a blur, even the part when we were in the pipes.
I barely know anything.
Hopefully we’ll find each other soon, he won’t be able to believe that I'm a prince now! I can’t even believe it myself sometimes...
Ever since I’ve arrived, I’ve been having strange and often weird dreams. And it’s mostly the same dream over and over again. I dream about sitting in a room where it’s completely dark and it’s snowing everywhere. Sometimes, I swear I can hear someone’s voice telling me I have a destiny to fulfil? I haven’t told anyone about it, I normally tell Mario when I have nightmares but...
He isn’t here.
The penguins really are something. I’m just glad that they were nice, and helped me survive when I landed here a year ago. I would have died in the snow alone, thank god they found me when they did. I was scared of them at first but they aren’t so scary anymore. Honestly, anything scares me.
I also did believe that I was dreaming when I first came here and I still sort-of believe in that theory but I also don’t think so much anymore. It's become harder and harder to convince myself that I am dreaming, everything seems so real.
I look towards the door where Skipper is standing, he is my bodyguard and friend.
I made a friend in this kingdom, his name is Skipper. and yes, he is a penguin. I chuckle as Skipper leans on his spear and almost falls.
Skipper was the one who helped me when I landed in this world, he found me in the snow and took me to the kingdom. I am very thankful of him because of that, he is quite clumsy like me, that must be the reason why we became friends so quickly. Skipper helps me around the castle a lot and is super nice, he is a guard, but he doesn't do a good job at that. He is also the one who asks me questions the most, more than the king himself. Probably because he is the one I spend most of my time with. Skipper eats a lot, he is quite chubby, just a little bit. Talking about food, most of the food here is just Cheep Cheep and I really liked it at first but I sort-of don’t like eating the same thing everyday. I don’t know how long I will be here, I do not wanna accept that this is life now.
One day, I will find a way out of here and travel to a different kingdom, I have to find Mario! Or not, since I don’t know what kind of creatures live in this world. Oh come on Luigi, stop being a coward and go find your brother-
As I am writing, I hear a loud noise outside, I look out the window. I stop writing and jump out of my seat.
“What... WHAT IS THAT?!"
