《The Eight Deadly Sins》Chapter 27
Advertisement
Everyone stands within the battlefield as everything was now quite thanks to the demon king being defeated
Ludociel: It's so quiet. Would you tell me... what's happening?
Mael: it's over brother... the demon king has been wiped out. The threat has been eliminated, and it's all thanks to their efforts, the eight deadly sins. They managed to do what none other was ever capable of...
Ludociel: hmph... how naïve. Just because the demon king was vanquished, doesn't mean that the holy war is over, even so brother. This still the first small step. The first step that the goddess and demon race who once hated one another are taking together.
Hendrikson: Lord Ludociel
Elizabeth: precisely... I never thought I'd hear those words from you.
Ludociel: please forget it... I was just sick of this meaningless war...
Elizabeth: I won't forget... I won't forget how you risked your lives to protect us. Thank you Ludociel. and you Mael.
Ludociel simply smiled as his body faded away
Escanor: but I still can't believe it. You actually defeated the demon king. Not to mention the fact that the Captain, Ban and (Y/N) managed to make it back.
Escanor looks around to see not everyone as happy as him
Escanor: what's the matter everyone? You're all looking so gloomy
King: of course, we're happy that the three of them are back. But the biggest problem still hasn't been solved
Escanor: Ahh
Merlin: exactly. There's only one day left until Elizabeth's curse manifests. And now we have lost all means of breaking it. The captain tried to collect and absorb all the commandments in order to break it... but the demon king has been destroyed.
Diane: which means Elizabeth is going to die
Elizabeth: Diane. That's already settled and done with. What I wanted most was for Meliodas to return back to his normal self. If Meliodas did become the demon king, then we would have never been able to see each other again. Whereas even if I die, I'll be reincarnated time and time again.
Merlin: I suppose that is what you wanted to begin with, sis sis... but are you really going to be okay with this?
Meliodas: sorry to butt in, right in the middle of your serious conversation, buuut... there is a way to break the cures
The other seem confused.
Meliodas: actually, a funny thing happened while I was escaping purgatory... I just coincidently managed to acquire that power.
Gowther: you know, you really should learn to read the room a bit. Making jokes at a time like that might wind up getting you killed.
Ban: I agree with Gowther. There's no way you just so happened to stumble upon the power to break the... unless... did you really?
Meliodas: now then shall we get to it?
Elizabeth: Meliodas?
Meliodas: okay everyone apart from Elizabeth and myself please clear away
Diane: what are you going to do?
Meliodas: Merlin would you do the honours?
Merlion: Sure.
Merlin then cased "Curse Discovery" on both Meliodas and Elizabeth as a black haze rose into the sky.
Diane: Merlin, what is that?
Merlin: this is the form of their curse, made visible... eternal life and eternal rebirth
Elizabeth: so, these is the curses that has been afflicted to us?
Meliodas appearance then started to change
Escanor: captain?
Diane: what is that form
Meliodas: Elizabeth... I'm sorry for the three thousand years I made you wait... bit at last I can fulfil my promise with you.
Elizabeth: hey Meliodas?
Meliodas: hmm?
Elizabeth: even after you fulfil your promise to me... will you still go on loving me?

Meliodas: of course, I will, Elizabeth. Forever and ever, until you get sick of me first.
Meliodas uses his claws to create a ball of darkness as he fires it at the curses causing them to be eradicated. As small drops of light resign in the sky the sky.
Diane: wow, it's pretty
Merlin: I can't believe it... that curse of the gods was so easily broken
Meliodas returns to normal as Elizabeth hugs him.
Meliodas: and now our long journey is also, finished.
Elizabeth: no... it's only just begun... lets head back to Liones
During this time (Y/N) and Zeldris stand over the ten commandments
(Y/N): what are you ging to do with him? Now that you know that absorbing them will make you become the demon king's vessel.
Zeldris: the best thing is to destroy them. But they can be destroyed easily
(Y/N): hmm, I have a few ideas but I just want to make sure that you are okay with me going through this?
Zeldris: why wouldn't I be?
(Y/N): even if what he was doing was the stupidest thing, I have ever seen... he wanted what he thought was best for you and Meliodas.
Zeldris: ....
(Y/N): I've got no room to judge him, I couldn't see myself as a good farther, so I think it would be best if you decide.
Zeldris: ...
(Y/N): though you don't have to give me an answer now. I can suspend him in time in the TARDIS. Even if he were to break out of the TARDIS time field, he won't have the strength for a hundred years to do anything.
Zeldris: he needs to be destroyed for good. Otherwise, peace in Britannia won't ever happen.
(Y/N): .... Okay
(Y/N) create an energy ball around the commandments as he lifts them into the air before they vanish.
(Y/N): the TARDIS can put him somewhere until I can find somewhere that they can be destroyed.
Zeldris: why did you help?
(Y/N): huh
Zeldris: If I am not mistaken, the red monster fought against both the goddess and demon race. So why help Meliodas and Elizabeth?
(Y/N): honestly, I saw the futility in the holy war, and it looked like a smaller version of the reality war, and no-one should be forced to make the decision that I made. So, I came up with the idea of becoming an enemy to both goddess and demons so that you would have to work together to kill me. But of course, that never happened.
Zeldris: I see... you're an idiot, no wonder that idiot Meliodas likes you.
(Y/N): yup, we are a bunch of nut jobs that's for sure... but I think you have more important things to do don't you that talk to me.
Meliodas then comes up to both (Y/N) and Zeldris
Zeldris: are you going to hold up your end of the deal?
Meliodas: of course, Gelda is sealed in darkness in Edinburgh in a hole I crated
Zeldris flew off straight in the direction of Edinburgh
Meliodas: well, that's taken care of... you ready Fire?
(Y/N): yeah, lets head back to Liones
The group gather at Hawk mum as the headed back to Liones
(Y/N) stands on the balcony looking out as Ban surprises him getting him in a grapple
Ban: Hey here's where you are Fire
(Y/N) struggles to break free
(Y/N): Ban? What the hell are you doing?
Meliodas: you know you worried us when you decided to stay in purgatory
Ban then let's go of (Y/N)
(Y/N) (Mind): man, I do not like hugs (speaking) sorry, I knew that if you didn't get out you would struggle to break free, besides, I know what I was doing so it all worked out

Ban and Meliodas simultaneously punches (Y/N)
(Y/N): OWWW WHAT WAS THAT FOR
Ban: we agreed to punch you in the face next time we saw you
Meliodas: yup
(Y/N): fine I guess I do deserve that
Ban: well, I better get the food ready for tonight
Meliodas: I'll help
(Y/N)/Ban: NO
Meliodas: come on it won't be that bad
Ban: Fire, keep this disaster of a cook away from any of the food
(Y/N): you got it
Ban heads off leaving Meliodas and (Y/N) on the balcony
(Y/N): so, what's your plan cap?
Meliodas: so, you figured it out
(Y/N): yeah, you can't stay in this world with that power, can you?
Meliodas: no... I was thinking of going to the demon relm and open a tavern there.
(Y/N): and Elizabeth?
Meliodas: ....
(Y/N): you know you can't just leave her here on her own, you have got to tell her
Meliodas: I tried, but I didn't have the guts to tell her.
(Y/N): sigh... honestly, do you want to call in a favour?
Meliodas: huh?
(Y/N): I'm asking if you want my help?
Meliodas: with talking to Elizabeth? I'm sure it will be fine
(Y/N): no not that, you can tell her on your own, this is with that power of yours, I have a way to have it separated from you so that you can stay in Britannia but there is something I need to say
Meliodas: what is it?
(Y/N): I'm leaving Britannia
Meliodas: ....
(Y/N): there is more things that I want to see, and I won't get to see them here... but you could say that I am too afraid to tell everyone.
Meliodas: you can tell them on your own
(Y/N): don't pin my own words against me cap
Meliodas: Nishishi
(Y/N): well, that doesn't matter anyway, here
(Y/N) hands Meliodas what looks to be an orange stone with a red core that constantly flickers on and off.
Meliodas: what is this?
(Y/N): it's a Fire Gem its able to store the power of a few gods in there so I'm sure that if you store your power in there it will allow you to stay in Britannia. But once your power enters here you might not be able to get it back.
Meliodas: thanks
Meliodas turns into his new form only for his new form to seep into the gem leaving Meliodas back the way he way.
Meliodas: that managed to only take the power of a demon king
(Y/N): yup, that's what it is meant to do, absorb the powers of a god.
Meliodas: Fire I don't know how to thank you
(Y/N): don't mention it.
Meliodas: I know I'll cook something up for you
Meliodas runs off
(Y/N): oh no you don't
(Y/N) then goes ahead to chase after Meliodas
Time goes by as the sins arrive in Liones as everyone is gathered around cheering the return of their heroes that have saved the kingdom the sins go on to running the boar hat once more as it is filled up with many people coming from close friends to complete strangers. (Y/N) stands on the second floor looking down over the railing as Andrew come up to him.
Andrew: Master?
(Y/N): sup runt
Andrew: is that you?
(Y/N): do you know another Saiyan that is alive?
Andrew: no, it's just a surprise that's all
(Y/N): what is?
Andrew: that face
(Y/N): oh yeah. It's been the longest day ever for me
Andrew: I could imagine
(Y/N): how did you know it was me?
Andrew: Sir Meliodas told me
(Y/N): I see.
Andrew: Princess Elizabeth told me your name isn't (Y/N) that it's actually Fire?
(Y/N): yup, though I don't think you need to worry about that considering you have a terrible knack for calling me master even if you don't need to
Andrew: oh, I just remembered, the King said he wanted to talk to you and the other sins, but Meliodas said you can go to talk to the King
(Y/N): (sigh) even on break I am called to see the king... alright I'll go sees him now
(Y/N) walks past Andrew and stops for a moment
(Y/N): before I go, I must ask you... how would you like it if you could travel with me
Andrew: I .... I would li-
(Y/N) then vanishes from the spot he was in and in the castle.
(Y/N): sup King Bartra, how's it going
Bartra: (Y/N) I heard from Merlin of these changes that have happened to your body, it is good to see you are still well
(Y/N): sure am, what was it you wanted to talk about?
Bartra: I had another vision as the demon king was defeated
(Y/N): I see, what was it
Bartra: on a night like tonight when the moon is cracked, and darkness plagues the land, six monsters will be awakened at the fall of a god.
(Y/N): ......
Bartra: and that was all I could get from this vision
(Y/N): I guess it is a long way away then, because you couldn't see much of this vision
Bartra: I agree, but we must be ready for when these monsters appear.
(Y/N): couldn't have put it better myself your majesty.
Bartra: now then, I heard that the Boar hat is open, isn't it?
(Y/N): it sure is
Bartra: good, I must go. You are dismissed.
(Y/N) leaves the room as he walks through the castle stopping at a door. (Y/N) heads inside the door into a bedroom opening a draw placing an envelope inside before closing it and heading back to the boar hat.
As the night ends all the sins are asleep only for (Y/N) to be awake. (Y/N) carries all his things in a bag as he opens the door looking back.
(Y/N): goodbye everyone
(Y/N) then exits the door and walk on for a bit before seeing Andrew with a bag on his back ready with a lot of things
(Y/N): you ready runt?
Andrew: yup got everything that I need
(Y/N): alright then.
The two walk out of Liones as the two then see the TARDIS up ahead
Andrew: what is this?
(Y/N): ...
Andrew: Master?
(Y/N) looks at a tree that seems to have been there for a decade or so.
(Flashback Sixteen years ago)
(Y/N) was in a clock with his hood over his head with tears down his face walking towards a kingdom that he can see in the distance before he collapses onto the floor. He manages to pick himself up and move over to the side of the road and sit next to a newly bloomed plant. (Y/N) tucks his hands under his legs forming a ball as he rests his head on his knees.
???: you doing, okay?
(Y/N) looks up to see a blond kid as he thinks that he recognizes him from somewhere.
???: why are you upset?
(Y/N): it's nothing
???: okay
The kid sits next to him
???: you have a lot of tears for nothing
(Y/N): I just got watery eyes that's all
???: hmm... hey you want to eat something
(Y/N): I'm good
(Y/N) stomach begins to growl
???: that stomach of yours says otherwise
The kid the stands up giving his hand to (Y/N)
Meliodas: Names Meliodas, and you are?
(Y/N) thinks for a few moments before grabbing his hand
(Y/N): (Y/N). My name is (Y/N)
Meliodas: nice to meet you (Y/N)
(Flashback end)
Andrew: Master
(Y/N): huh
Andrew: you, okay?
(Y/N): yeah, just having a thought
Andrew: okay.... what is this by the way
(Y/N): look inside and you will find out
Andrew then looks inside seeing the TARDIS for the first time
Andrew: what the...
(Y/N): I know
Andrew: it's bigger on the inside
(Y/N): you have no idea how long I have wanted someone to say that
(Y/N) walks into the TARDIS as Andrew looks at inside in awe
Andrew: what is this?
(Y/N): it's called the TARDIS it can travel anywhere in time and space... and its mine
Andrew: this... this is...
(Y/N) snaps his fingers closing the door pushing Andrew in.
(Y/N): so... everything that ever happened or ever will... where do you want to start.
(Y/N) shows a map of every star and planet and Andrew gathers himself pointing to one of the worlds, causing him to smile as the he goes up to the console as TARDIS begins to set off as it vanishes from Britannia as Meliodas stands there looking at where the TARDIS once was.
Meliodas: see you later... (Y/N).

8 81Cinder Roots (Undergoing a Rewrite)
This novel is currently undergoing a major rewrite, as I noticed several plot points that needed to be revamped. I'll leave the chapters I've posted here to anyone curious to see how everything started, but I'll be posting the rewritten story as a new novel in the future. The characters will be the same, but the journey will be more understandable and hopefully, a lot more fun to read. -------- First, everything was fire, it killed, it consumed, and it gave him life. He was just a tree, born in the biggest forest that remained in the world, full of dryads, naiads, elves and treants, but he was alone. He couldn’t see. He couldn’t talk. Curiosity plagued him. He dreamed of wandering the land, but could only wonder what stood outside the reach of his roots. The tree was tired of waiting. He decided to not just dream, but to act. How could he survive against a invading empire, a grand conspiracy that threatened to shake the foundations of the world, and the raw danger that lies within these woods? With pure determination. Warning - There are quite a few POV changes in the first chapters, but that'll change after the introduction is done, as I'll be focusing on the MC perspective only.
