Disclaimer: I do not own Dark Souls or Seven Deadly Sins. I am merely a fan writing a story.
A redheaded man was in the market looking over produce. Nothing seemed special about him. He worked as a blacksmith, lived with a friend, he did nothing extraordinary. He purchased his supplies and started his return. That is, until he noticed a group of holy knights surrounding a young lady.
He quickly looked away. He wasn't a hero anymore. He began to leave until he heard something clang on the ground. And once the redhead looked at it he sighed in defeat. It was a signet ring, with the symbol being a roaring lion on its hind legs. Old habits die hard. He walked over to the group.
"Pardon me." They all looked over at the redhead who spoke up. "I just want to know if you are making this lady uncomfortable." The woman looked at him with relief in her eyes, though something about her seemed familiar. He would have to figure it out later.
"You are all holy knights yes?"
One of them grinned and replied with "Yeah, we're just making sure she gets home safe."
"That's a lie."
They all tensed when he spoke and people stepped back expecting some kind of fight.
"Are you accusing us of lying?"
"Yes I am." The all looked at him wide-eyed. No one stood up to them before.
"Guess they didn't teach you chivalry and respect during training."
One of them drew their sword "You got a problem with us?"
"They also appear to have forgotten to teach you correct etiquette when dealing with an unarmed foe."
The redhead extended his right arm and electricity began to take the shape of a spear. "Ma'am take this food a blacksmith manned by a very large man not too far from here. Make sure his name is Smough and tell him Houdin sent you." The woman nodded and took the food before running off.
"As for you gentlemen. If you want a fight, then any of you three can begin."
One of them drew their own spear and tried to run in and stab him. Houdin stepped aside and grabbed the spear. He used it to pull in his opponent for a head-butt and used the opportunity to dispel the lightning spear and take the one belonging to the knight. Houdin got into a stance to fit the spear. The second drew a battle and also charged the intruder. The moment he got close enough Houdin swept the spear close to the ground in order to trip the knight. The third drew a shield to go along with his sword. He approached the spear wielder cautiously and Houdin responded in kind. The sword knight attempted to thrust his blade into his foe. Houdin however, twirled his spear using the sword and hit him in the face with the pole. The man caught the spear and speared into the side of the knight's tunic missing the body. Houdin pulled him onto the fallen axe wielder. He then laid the spear head under the spear's original owner and the pole onto his friends. Houdin used the leverage to launch the knight onto his friends.
Houdin pulled their tunics hoods out and stuck them all to the ground using the spear. "Learn some manner's, ok?" He said as the lion ring was collected by its rightful owner. Now he had to head back home.
