"This is what is looks like when a character talks out loud."
Thoughts can appear in two forms... 'like this with the single quote marks' or as a statement like this... (Dialogue/Event) What is the squirrel doing in that bucket? without the single quotes mark.
Acnologia desperately reached out, trying to push his magic out, but no matter how hard he tried, his magic would not answer his call. His body was burning, and he couldn't do anything about it. "There is no blood..." Acnologia longed for the familiar scent. "My destruction... there are no tears..." He longed for the destruction that would satisfy him, but it never could. "Everything my ha- hands wanted..." Acnologia felt his body fading away, the flame brat was hunched over, out of breath and bleeding all over, but smiling that familiar smile. 'That smile... I wanted to destroy it...'
"You would never have been able to destroy everything. You'd never get everything." What is the boy talking about? Acnologia's mind was beginning to follow suit with his body, fading quickly. "Because you don't have the most precious thing of all, something to protect... I don't need anything else, Because I have my family." It hit him then, finally, why the boy seemed so familiar, a warm feeling came up from somewhere deep inside and a single tear fell from The Dragon King's eye.
"I see... You are indeed worthy, of being The Dragon King..." he was almost gone now, he couldn't hardly believe it, four hundred years and it was all finally over. The last thing he heard before the silence took him was the boys voice. "I don't need to be the King." why did he sound so cheerful? It didn't matter now, the darkness was all that there was left, Acnologia let it embrace him and he sank deeper and deeper. "So this is what it feels like to die? I welcome the peace if nothing else..." Acnologia sighed internally one last time, his final breath.
Chapter 1.2 The King awakens in a strange world.
Acnologia let his gaze wander across the blue expanse of the sky, this couldn't possibly be the afterlife. Acnologia was no fool, he knew that when he died if he ever did that he had a one way ticket to Purgatory, yet this place... was calm and peaceful. The breeze flew through the trees and the leafy branches swayed with the movement of the wind, the birds were chirping and the woodland creatures were scurrying about the ground. He rose to a sitting position, and observed his surroundings. Everywhere he looked there were trees, and the large open space he was in, was filled with flowers and a small pond, he noticed the ducklings playing in the water, and the deer drinking from it as well.
'This... I am not dead. My heart still beats in my chest, and my magic... it seems that I have exhausted my supply, but it is still there.' He rose to his feet, pain shot through his body and he fell back to his knees, his cloak was in in tatters and no longer useful. His left pant leg had been completely incinerated by the flame dragon, and across his body, he was bleeding in multiple locations. "Well if that isn't a sure sign that I am alive... I don't know what is." He cautiously rose to his feet again, and limped over to a tree, and with what little strength he had he broke off a branch to use as a walking stick.
"First things first, I need to find my way out of this forest." He tested his senses. Good, they were still heightened, he tested the air. "I guess I will go that way, the sooner I get medical attention the sooner I can find out where the hell I am." Acnologia walked off in the direction he had chosen, leaving the grove behind and heading eagerly for civilization, and for the first time in a long time. He actually felt calm.
A short while later.
Acnologia, after walking for what couldn't have been less than an hour stumbled up to a small building, it smelled of alcohol and food, and something a bit more ominous. He couldn't worry about that right now, he could barely maintain his consciousness. It had taken more out of him than he thought it would to reach this place. His injuries were far worse than he had originally thought, a few townsfolk noticed him and immediately ran over to help. "Sir, are you okay!?" he struggled to form words but at this point he couldn't go on any longer, the world turned upside down and then everything went black.
Acnologia awoke to a girl standing over him, a glowing energy emanating from her hands. The blue light washed over his aching body, and his pain seemed to be slowly fading away. "Healing magic... that's a rare ability if I ever saw one..." He growled through his teeth as he tried to sit up, 'It's still not completely healed yet.' the girl smiled slightly but didn't say a word, as she tried to maintain her focus. "Where am I?" He asked her.
"The Boar Hat's Bar!" A cheerful voice came from his right, he looked over. A small boy with blonde hair as well as an older man, wearing tight red leather clothing and a very feminine looking man with pink hair stood behind him. They were an odd looking group. The blonde kid waved at him with a huge grin plastered all over his face, "Yo!" Acnologia stared at him for a moment, and then just nodded awkwardly. "I see... how far away am I from Fiore?" The boy looked confused, and the pink haired man answered for him. "Fiore is not a country that exists within Britannia, do you come from another land that I have not heard of?" Acnologia raised an eyebrow. "Britannia?" The man nodded. "You are in the kingdom of Liones."
'There is just no way... I am not even on Earthland any more?' Acnologia had been struggling to face this truth for the past hour now. He had been healed enough by the girl, whose name he had found out was Elizabeth. He was in the main room of the bar now, sitting at the counter drinking a flagon cup of water. "So, we never caught your name. Care to share?" Acnologia stared at the kid, or... at least he had mistaken him for a kid. In truth, Meliodas for that was his name, was an adult contrary to his appearance. Acnologia still not believing he wasn't on Earthland. He responded truthfully, realizing this was the one way to find out. "My name is Acnologia." he waited for their response, hoping they would react with fear, giving away that he was still in the world of his origin. "Nice to meet you!" Meliodas responded cheerfully.
"You already met Elizabeth and Gowther! That one with the spiky hair that looks all mean is Ban!" Acnologia glanced at each one of them, giving them a slight nod. He could feel their power, and it was nothing to scoff at, besides the fact that they were the ones who were giving him food and shelter as well as healing. "Meliodas." Meliodas cocked an eyebrow at Acnologia's direct and rather rude way of getting his attention. Acnologia gestured to his surroundings. "What are three beings of your caliber, doing operating a bar such as this? I can feel the magic power emanating from you three, and it is massive." Meliodas looked thoughtful for a moment and then he responded. "We run the bar for fun, as well as a home to come back to after our missions."
"Missions?" Meliodas shot him a thumbs up, "Yep! We are The Seven Deadly Sins, an order of Holy Knights who protect this kingdom." Acnologia gave a small chuckle and pointed out to Meliodas, "But there are only four of you." The one in red leather spoke up for the first time, Ban. "The others are on a mission right now, should be back before too long."
"Is that why I feel three more energy signatures approaching?" Acnologia questioned. The hairs on his arms were standing up straight and his spine was tingling, something was wrong... there was a smell on the wind, one that was all to familiar to him. Blood. Death. "It doesn't seem like a benevolent energy, I would be on the ready if I were you." Meliodas and Ban both stared at the door, their eyes wide with fear. "Did you say... three?" Acnologia was puzzled, the three signatures were roughly equal with their own, so why did they seem so afraid? "Yes, three." he stated firmly. Meliodas and Ban shot for the door, slamming it open and disappearing outside. Acnologia shot to his feet, looking at Gowther absolutely confused, Elizabeth ran after Meliodas and Ban, her face drained of all color. "What the hell is happening?!" Gowther slowly walked over to the door, and stood in the opening. "This was unexpected, and most certainly is not good. Not good at all." The man responded in a monotonic voice, almost as if he had no emotional response at all. 'He isn't afraid, what the hell could be going on.' Acnologia walked over to the door himself and looked out, three more figures had appeared, a tall very muscular man with ginger hair and a mustache, a woman with raven colored hair and who was severely under dressed, and a young looking boy floating in the air with a spear to his side, his eyes filled with tears, and anger emanating off of him like a furnace that was getting to hot. There was a girl in the tall mans arms, her skin was ghostly white, and her eyes staring blankly at nothing. Blood leaked from a gaping wound in stomach freely. It was clear to Acnologia, that no amount of healing would save this girl. She was already gone.
"Captain! Diane... Diane is dead."
