Hapu admittedly felt a twinge of distaste for Brigan, especially after witnessing his cruel, patronizing attitude towards Luigi. And yet she had to commend Luigi's courage in approaching such a foreboding general, and the family bond Mario had with his brother... perhaps the haughty hero was more golden than his behavior showed. Hapu felt reassured by this.

The tasks were split amongst the three squads, and Hapu learned that the team she was on was to head to the abandoned castle to check upon the princess and the ring. Luigi, Samus, and James would set off to scout the location first, leaving Amaterasu and Hapu to stand guard.

Mudsdale looked down at Amaterasu as the wolf curled next to its mud-caked hooves. The horse gave a short neigh. Hapu, on the other hand, said, "Mudsdale and I shall stay with..." She thought for a second. "We shall stay with Amaterasu, and if any trouble arises, we will be on our way." She gave James, Samus, and Luigi a nod. Mudsdale snorted.

“If there are no objections or alternative suggestions to us staying here, then I wish you luck on your reconnaissance,” Hapu said.

She then saddled up on Mudsdale and proceeded to start patrolling. Mudsdale trotted through a twenty-five yard radius, shifting its head left and right in order to spot any trouble. Hapu herself kept a diligent eye on the area between the trees; growing up on the untamed Poni Island, Hapu had to quickly learn to be vigilant among nature.

“Do you see anything, friend?” Hapu asked, stroking Mudsdale’s nuzzle.

The horse looked back and shook its head.

“Perhaps that is a good sign. Or perhaps it is an ambush.” Hapu shrugged. “It’s difficult to determine our situation in such a foreign land. But hopefully Luigi, Samus, and James return all right.”
