《Origami King: The After-Fold》Visit At The Craftsman's Keep
Advertisement
Olly limped after his sister Olivia. She saw that he wasn't keeping up and flew back to him.
"Here. Let me help." Olivia said, draping his arm around hers, "There."
They walked through the forest until they came out to the other side. The sun was just rising over the Mushroom Kingdom. They watched it rise in wonder.
"Wow... It's so beautiful!" Olivia exclaimed.
"Yes..." Olly replied distantly.
Olivia looked at him in concern.
"Brother? What's troubling you?" Olivia asked.
Olly let out a sigh as he sat down, watching the sunrise.
"I just wonder what the Craftsman thinks of me now... How he will react to me returning." Olly replied.
Olivia plopped down next to him.
"Well... I'm sure that he will be very happy that we're alive!" Olivia claimed cheerfully.
"Heh heh... You're too positive for your own good." Olly chuckled.
Olivia helped Olly stand up and they continued towards the harbor.

Once again, a knocking came at the Mario brother's door. A man in a black jumpsuit waited, tapping his foot impatiently.
"I'll get it, Mario!" Luigi exclaimed.
The man waited a few more minutes and then banged his fist on the door again.
"I said I'm coming!" Luigi shouted.
Luigi ran to the door and flung it wide open.
"Mr.L! It's been so long! I haven't seen you in FOREVER!" Luigi exclaimed.
Luigi wrapped Mr.L into a hug.
"Urk! Hey, Luigi..." Mr.L replied.
Luigi grabbed onto him by the hand and dragged him inside.
"Luigi... Who was at the door this time?" Mario groggily asked.
Mario rubbed the sleep from his eyes and gasped.
"Heh heh... Hello Mr.JumpsAllTheTime." Mr.L chuckled.
"Why are so many enemies just showing up on my doorstep?!" Mario shouted with frustration, "What do you want?!"

"Where are the yellow and purple origami kids?" Mr.L asked.
"You mean Olly and Olivia? I think that they're still sleeping." Luigi replied, "Let me go get them!"
Luigi ran off to the spare bedroom.
"What do you want with those two?" Mario asked, becoming suspicious.
Before Mr.L could answer Luigi ran back to them yelling.
"They're gone!" Luigi exclaimed in a panic.
"WHAT?!" Mario and Mr.L shouted.
"And they left this note! I'm pretty sure Olivia wrote it though..." Luigi replied.
He held out the note and Mr.L immediately snatched it. He read it out loud.
"'My brother and I are going to visit the Origami Craftsman to try and find out where our paper came from. Sorry for leaving so soon! Love Olivia.'" Mr.L read. "Ugh! Where is the Origami Craftsman's place?!"
"He lives on an island out at sea." Luigi explained, "The only charted way to get there is from Toad Harbor."
Mr.L sighed and marched towards the door only to be stopped by Mario.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing?! You have no right to go after them!" Mario exclaimed.
"Would YOU rather want to go after them?" Mr.L scoffed.
Mario took this into consideration.
"Fair enough. Just don't cause any trouble or I'll have to beat you up again." Mario told him.
Mr.L pushed him aside.
"I highly doubt you could." Mr.L chuckled.

The sun was now up, Olly and Olivia were face to face with the vast ocean.
"I know where the Craftsman lives by heart, but I am in no condition to get us there." Olly sadly commented.
"Let me help with transportation!" Olivia exclaimed.
Olivia quickly unfolded and then refolded into the Water Vellumental! She knelt down next to Olly.

"Climb on! You can point the way to the island!" Olivia exclaimed.
Olly grunted as he climbed onto Olivia's back.
They both squinted as the salty air hit their faces, the vast blue streaking past them below. Olly searched the horizon for any landmarks. A formation of rocks caught his attention.
"There! Olivia, it's just past that stone formation on the eastside!" Olly exclaimed.
She nodded and flew towards where he indicated. Olivia soared until a landmass came into view.
"There it is!" Olivia said.
Olivia swooped down and they were now at the mushroom-shaped island. Olivia let Olly down and quickly folded back to normal. They stared up at the house.
"It's been so long..." Olly murmured.
Olivia strung his arm over hers and they walked up to the entrance. They both took a deep breath and Olly knocked on the door.
"I'll be there in a moment!"
They heard various crashing noises and then a rustling of the lock. The door swung open.
"Hello! How may I-" The Craftsman froze as soon as he saw them, "Olly?! Olivia?! Is that really you?!"
Olivia nodded.
"It's us!" Olivia exclaimed.
The Origami Craftsman scooped both of them up into a hug.
"I saw both of you unfold before my very eyes! How is this possible?! It's a miracle!" The Toad exclaimed.
"Ooh, I've missed you too!" Olivia squealed.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow," Olly muttered.
The Craftsman let go of them and Olly gasped for breath.
"Oh my. Are you alright, Olly?" The Craftsman asked.
"Ngh... I got ripped during the fight," Olly told him, "Heh, I probably deserve it. I'm so sorry for all I did to you. I mistook your beautiful message for an incompetent scribble. I went too far."
The Origami Craftsman hugged him a little more gently.
"Sh... No, I shouldn't have written on your paper in the first place. I'm the one who should be sorry." He replied.
Olly hugged him back.
"Can you forgive me?" Olly asked.
"Only if you can forgive me." The Craftsman replied.
"AAAAAAWWWWWW!!! THAT'S SO PRECIOUS!!!
The Craftsman let go of Olly and Olivia helped him stand.
"We do have one other reason for coming, actually," Olly stated.
"Oh?"
"We want to know where our papers came from," Olivia said.
The Origami Craftsman nodded solemnly.
"If you two could follow me inside, I can try and explain all I know." He said while motioning to the house.
Olly and Olivia followed him inside.
