《Wolf Sin of Betrayal {Meliodas}》005

"King is trying to get into the Necropolis?" Diane asks from outside the tavern's window.
"That guy..." The boy starts, "For the past few days, he's been coming here to figure out how to get to the Necropolis."
"If he's been looking how to get there for days... Does that mean it's a grave in a really remote place?" Hawk asks.
"No... It's right around here," The boy shakes his head.
"What do you mean?" Y/N asks.
"The entrance of the Necropolis is in this village, but you can't go there just because you want you to," The boy says.
I nod listening to him, "I see... In other words," I say and bend down to Hawk tying a plate of Ban's food on rope and stick, tying the stick to Hawk, "It's like this!"
"I don't think that's what he meant Captain," Y/N says and I look at her, "If I understood the small information correctly," She turns to the boy and girl, "That the Necropolis isn't a grave hidden or in view, it's a place where people who have passed on live, correct?" She asks and they nod.
"So basically... It's like the afterlife?" I ask.
"Basically yes," She nods.
"How... How can we go to a place like that?" Elizabeth asks a little worried.
"How can I reach this plate right here!!" Hawk says but we ignore him struggle to get the playte.
"Have you been there?" Ban asks the children.
"No way! It's all just superstition!"The boy shakes his head quickly, "But every now and then, travellers and rich people would come here because of that rumour and that's how this village got started."
"But... If it's the afterlife, there's no way we can get there, right?" Elizabeth asks looking at me and I look back at her with my arms folded across my chest.
"' A priceless memory shared with the deceased will open the path to the Necropolis' Our next-door neighbour was always saying that," The girl says, "I'm sorry... That's about all we know..."
I hear the door open and shut, I turn to see Y/N flying away, "Let's go, everyone," I say and we all follow after the adorable fairy.
We follow her into the village and stop by some small cliffs, "A priceless memory with the deceased will open the path... then," Elizabeth says and I look at her with a blank look at she smiles and blushes, "I... Want to meet my mother who passed away when I was young because I couldn't get to know her and I don't know anything about her."
"How stupid are you?" Y/N asks bluntly, "How would that open the gate when you have no memory of your mother?" I bite the inside of my mouth trying not to laugh at the choice of her words.
I watch as she stares off into space, possibly thinking about whoever she shares a priceless memory with. I suddenly notice flowers surrounding the ground, "Were these blooming just a second ago?" I ask.

"Who cares?" Hawk says and I glance at the talking pig, "They're just flowers, even if we were to eat them, we'd never get full..." He huffed making the petals on a flower fly up then all the petals suddenly went up into the air with a large surge of wind surrounding us.
I cover my eyes when the wind gets too much once the wind had died down I move my hand down. I'm stunned by the sight I see, calm and empty, a place surrounded by green crystals coming up from the ground or walls.
"Captain... Is this?" Diane starts.
"...Yeah," I answer her.
"Is it possible that my longing to see my mother... Led us here...?" Elizabeth asks.
"You really don't listen do you?" Y/N looks at her, "No memories mean nothing you did helped us get here," She says harshly and turns away from her.
"It might be my memories of the leftovers I was never able to eat..." Hawk commented but no one replies to me.
"I have no idea, my mind was completely blank," I say.
"Mine too!" Diane says and a slight squeal.
I see a blur pass me, I look forward to seeing Y/N flying off, "Y/N!" Ban follows her and King, "Ban! King!"
I saw Elaine in the distance and I fly after her, "I won't let you get away!!" Harlequinn shouts.
"I won't let you get away!!" Ban shouts and I glance to see them following as well.
"Ban... Don't think that you can get away from me!!" Harlequinn says.
I fly off faster, "Elaine!" I look around and I see her looking at me with a smile, "Elaine..." I fly to her and hug her tightly, spinning us around.
She returns my hug, "Big sister!" She leans back and tears form in her eyes, "Why... Why did you make us forget?" She asks.
"I'm sorry... Because of who I loved I put our forest in danger, the danger passed when I was forgotten," I explain.
"But, your true love... Won't be he angry with you?" Elaine asks.
"I can handle Meliodas," I smile at her and we hug again, "Why is Ban following you as well?" I ask.
"Hmm... Well..." Elaine fidgets and I grin at her, "He promised to take me away from the Fountain of Youth when our brother disappeared... Ban tried to protect me from the Red Demon! I swear he tried!"
"I know Elaine," I smile and we fly back to Ban and King to see Ban slowly turning into a fossil, "Go on," I hide behind a crystal.
Ban grins looking at Elaine, "What's so funny? Don't act so tough. You're really frustrated, aren't you?" Harlequin says with a smirk.
"Really... Look nothing alike," Ban says before he's fossilised.
"Goodbye... Ban," Harlequinn says.

I walk to Elaine and we look at each, I shake my head slightly disappointed in my brother's actions.
"To the very end, not even a word of repentance... That's just like you, Ban..." Harlequinn says, "Then at least, in the Necropolis... Not allowed to die or find peace, all alone.... Just live in agony for the rest of eternity," He turns and flies away with his Chastefol, "That's a fitting fate for you, in return for stealing everything from Elaine."
"Go on," I say and Elaine flies to Ban as Harlequinn stops, turning to see what's happening.
"What...? Is that?" He asks clearly not able to see Elaine, "Some kind of trick by Ban...? No... That's impossible Ban shouldn't be able to do anything..."
Harlequinn gasps and his Chastefol pierces into the ground, "No way... This feeling is... Elaine... Is it... really you?"
I smile as Elaine kisses Ban, releasing him from the fossilisation Harlequinn put him under, "What!? The fossilisation was... released?!!" He questions.
I smile looking at Ban and Elaine, "Yo, Elaine," Ban says and I giggle.
"Ban... How can you see Elaine...? Is... Is that really Elaine?! No... No! If that's really the case, how can you see her while I can't!?" Harlequinn questions.
"Relax," I roll my eyes and I fly to Harlequinn, "Shut up for once," He looks at me shocked.
"Ban... How did you get that scar?" Elaine questions.
"Keh, so you haven't been watching from this world at all?" Ban looks away.
Harlequinn looks over at them, "That voice really is!! Elaine... It's me!! You know, right?" He says, "Please! Let me see you, too! Why allow Y/N!?"
"You should let him see you, he's your sibling as well," Ban says.
Elaine shakes her head, "In the Necropolis it's possible for the living and the dead to see each other again, but only is they are bound together by strong emotions and shared memories... Where you and I have strong emotions."
"You're still mad at me..." Harlequinn says looking at the ground, "That I abandoned everything... You... The Kingdom... I threw it all away!!"
"Big sister and I have memories for playing together when she was the Queen, she left for our safety," Elaine says.
Harlequinn looks at me shocked and I turn back to Ban and Elaine, ignoring his shocked expression at me, "What is she saying Y/N?" Harlequinn questions.
A strong magical feeling suddenly appears and we turn to where the feeling was coming from, "Y/N? Is it a Holy Knight?" Ban asks and I nod, he goes to move.
"Ban, wait!" Elaine says, "Why... Did you come to see me?"
"No reason, I just wanted to say one thing," Ban says.
"Fine! I'm alright with what you think of me! But there's no reason for you to save Ban!! He's the one who stole everything from you!!" Harlequinn shouts.
"Were you there?" I ask looking at my younger brother, glaring at him, "No, you abandoned the Kingdom I left to you."
Ban looks back at Elaine, "Someday, I'll definitely make you mine," He says before running off to the magical energy.
"Thank you, Ban..." Elaine says and I fly to Elaine we hug, "Y/N... Let him remember..." She whispers.
"I can't... Not yet," I whisper.
"I don't understand. How... Can you forgive Ban, the man who stole everything from you? How can you say Y/N is the Queen... What is it I don't know?" Harlequinn says.
"...After you threw away out Kingdom, for seven hundred years... I lived the whole time fighting the loneliness by myself, but those seven hundred years of solitude... He buried them in just seven days... Because Ban found out that you're my brother, he provoked you and took your spear," Elaine says and Harlequinn looks up, "He's not the person that you think he is."
"E...Elaine," He looks up, "How... Am I able to see..."
"If you can see me, then it's because... I want you to understand Ban and help him, as well as wanting to help the two of you," She looks between us, "Y/N... You can't be alone forever with memories unshared... You know that."
"Nightshadefol," I shade my pillow appears, "5th form... Sunlight drop," I watch as my pillow turns into a purple flower with an orange glow around the petals, a drop slides down a petal and onto Harlequinn.
Harlequinn blinks and looks at me, "B...Big Sister..." He whispers and I fly away to Meliodas with Nightshadefol following after me.
"Captain!" I grab him and fly up in the sky before a large fireball hits him.
Meliodas looks up, "Where have you been?" He asks with a smile, "I was worried."
"Family reunion," I smile at me and look at the female Holy Knight.
"I was going to cover him!" Diane whines and I roll my eyes, "Don't roll your eyes at me!"
"So these are the legendary order of Knights... Shame," The Holy Knight says.
I put Meliodas down, "What's your name?" I ask the knight.
"Guila, you're the Wolf Sin of Betrayal... Falling in love with a demon and leaving your Kingdom," Guila says and I freeze looking at her, "Oh? Didn't the team know?" She smirks.
"You fell in love with... A demon?" Meliodas says looking at me shocked before the others attacked the Holy Knight.
Harlequinn's spear went through Ban, hitting Guila and sending her backwards, "Yo, Ban," He says and looks at Guila, "If you have something to say about my big sister again, I suggest you don't... A little warning."

Demons Don't Lie
Algier, average human and recent convict, has committed the gravest sin of all: demon slaying. His fate? To participate in the Culling, a battle-royale style tournament that’s televised live to the world, where all the worst criminals go to die. As with all tournaments, a prize is on the line. If Algier survives, he can have any wish granted by the Marquises, the new rulers of Earth following the demons’ invasion. However, there’s little hope for survival in a tournament designed to have demons do the work of the executioner, especially for a human. Demons are stronger, faster, wiser, and more talented than the average human, and, despite his crime, Algier is no demon hunter. Mentally defeated before the tournament even begins, Algier is torn between becoming another demon’s points and fighting on in his dead mother’s legacy. But should he choose to fight, there is one advantage that Algier has that can tip the odds in his favour: Demons don’t lie, but humans can. How to read this story Demons Don't Lie is written from the perspective of an unreliable (lying) narrator. There are many inconsistencies within the story which are placed there intentionally. It's up to the reader to decide what is the truth and what is the lie. Promotion Full quality cover image

Inside Metsys
Inside the universe of Metsys, life is chaotic, cruel and crazy. People with Stats have power and everyone wants to be a Player. Meet Corn, a slave who has no memory of most of his past and doesn’t know how most of the world functions. This doesn’t stop him from escaping the bonds of slavery by risking his life on a gamble. After all, he would risk everything for freedom and the right to be a mage. But how’s a scrub to learn Magic and get power? Why, join the magical under belly of the city, of course. And eat all the mana that he can get. Two Disclaimers: 1) This is a work of fiction. Any characters, places, organisations and everything else in this novel are fictional. Any resemblance between anything in this novel and the plane of reality we live in is purely coincidental. Was that a bit over the top and a wee bit unnecessary? Maybe. 2) This story features an antihero with a slight hint of villainy. So, sooner or later, it’s going to get dark. Very dark. Hence all the tags. If you are prone to be squeamish, this might not be for you. Well. You were warned. ;)
