Meliodas falls to the ground, blood pouring out of the corners of his mouth. His body is broken and tired. He looks to finds a small sword piercing his stomach. He can feel the warmth of his blood on his back, creating a puddle. He knows he will not survive this, but he has to try. His eyes search for the one he loves. As he searches, his vision blurs and everything feels distant. He can't die without seeing her one last time. He tries to sit up, but his body is too heavy, and he falls back into the dirt. Falling back causes the sword to move forward little, sending agonizing pain throughout his whole body. He tries to scream, but instead tears form. His eyes lock onto a figure in the distance, walking towards him.
"Elizabeth," he whispers. The thought that it might be her gives him enough strength to speak. Hope fills him as he tries to reach for the figure. It chuckles menacingly, and Meliodas recognizes the voice instantly. Hope is suddenly replaced with fear, an emotional he hasn't felt in a very long time.
"Please, don't do this, brother," Meliodas pleas, lowering his hand slightly. "Zeldris." He needs to see Elizabeth. He doesn't care what it takes. He finds enough strength to sit up. He removes the sword from his body. The pain is almost too much to handles, and he lets out a blood curdling scream. He will fight until he can't anymore.
Suddenly, a ray of colors flood in front of him, turning black and deep purple within seconds. Meliodas hears Zeldris scream for a few seconds, then become muffled and finally silenced. Turning, he can see a puddle of black energy that used to be Zeldris. The smell is horrible. Meliodas' falls back, letting out a little scream as he hits the dirt once more. Then he sees her, and he doesn't feel his pain anymore.
"Elizabeth, you're okay." He smiles weakly. All his fear vanishes and is replaced with warmth. As long as she's hear with him, he can handle the pain.
"Meliodas, I'm here. I won't leave you." Elizabeth whispers, her golden brown eyes stare into his, and her chocolate brown hair falls in his face as she kneels over him. He feels her warmth as she wraps her arms around him.
Meliodas hears a scream in the distance and unlocks her gaze. He sees her arm extended. Following the length of her arm, he can barely see the smoke being released from her fingertips. He knows she must have smelted some other poor soul the same way she did to Zeldris.
"Don't worry, Meliodas, I'll protect you." Her voice sounds empty and cold, but her eyes tell him everything. She's scared for him. He uses his remaining strength to reach up and touch her cheek. It's so soft and warm, he wishes he could feel her skin forever. She remembers her sweet laugh, the most beautiful sound on the earth besides when she tells him she loves him.
"I love you Elizabeth, so much." He feels moisture on his fingertip just before it falls. As his vision blurs and goes dark, he sees a tear fall from Elizabeth's face. Elizabeth never cries.
Don't cry Elizabeth… Meliodas tries to comfort her, but no words will come out. Before he can say anything to her, everything goes black.
"Meliodas!" He hears Elizabeth scream, but it sounds so far away. A faint rumbling and crashing is the last thing he hears before everything goes silent.
