Hey guys! Another new chapter is up! I'm sorry for the late update! A tip for you all—don't procrastinate. Trust me. Anyways, a little bit about the chapter itself. Unfortunately, Alice/Micah does not go with the others to find Ban. Instead, she gets to go to Camelot! Don't worry, she'll be reunited with them...eventually. I will refer to Alice as Micah now as she has found out about her true identity. Generally only one person will refer her as Alice. Also in this chapters, more of my OCs are introduced! Read to find out more!
Also, shout out to Sunshine-Girl! Thank you for catching my mistake! In this chapter, I have properly named Meliodas correctly! Don't hesitate to tell me if I spelled anyone else's name wrong!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Nanatsu no Taizai. Only my OCs.
Enjoy!

A two sided mirror floated in her hands, turning slowly like a carousel. She stared as the images of the mirror changed, from a man with amber colored hair to another man with magenta colored hair. From amethyst colored eyes to amber colored eyes. It continued to turn, showing those two men each time.
"Do you remember? Do you recall our love?" A voice whispered in her ears. The girl closed blue and green colored eyes, enveloping the mirror in her hands. Time would continue to pass, yet she could never forget.
"...Yes. I will always remember." She whispered out, a tear dripping down her cheek. "That is why...I must be the one to end you."
Love is such a trivial thing...
As Alice opened her eyes, she was greeted with an unfamiliar ceiling of some building. As she sat up, the girl felt a sharp pain go through her backside. Hissing, Alice grabbed her shoulder and saw that it was bandaged up. Then, she remembered.
"That's right. I fought against Gilthunder with Meliodas...with Big Brother..." Alice whispered out. Slowly, she reached and touched her newly acquired earring. "I guess I can't deny it anymore. I am Micah, the sister of Meliodas, and the eighth member of the Seven Deadly Sins." The girl chuckled bitterly. "Hehe...I guess my life as Alice was really a lie then?" Then, she began to tremble as she grabbed her hair. "Why? Why did I have to become someone else?" Micah whimpered as she reverted to her true form. "It hurts...it hurts so much. Why? Why am I regretting ever recovering my identity as Micah?!" Suddenly, the window next to her shattered, and a dark aura began to surround her. Dark shadows appeared on her body, creeping throughout her body and curling on her face. Suddenly, Micah heard a voice she never expected to hear.
"Alice, no, Micah. I guessed you found out." They said. Snapping her head to the voice, Micah saw that it was her "Auntie", or Merlin no longer cloaked. Her outfit consists of a highly revealing and open fur collared long coat, with heart shaped buttons, short shorts with a heart on it, and thigh high boots. A red boar tattoo was imprinted on the nape of her neck. Recognizing her amber colored eyes she seen so often from underneath the cloak, Micah began to cry. Anger and grief racked her body as she confronted the wizardess.
"Why?! Why, Merlin?! You knew all this time...and you lied to me!" Micah screamed. "You made me take the form of Alice, leaving me have these horrible regrets and feelings!" Merlin said nothing as she looked at her. Then, the woman slowly reached towards her neck and pulled on the silver chain necklace around her neck.
"Do you know who gave this to me, Micah?" She asked. Staring at the jewelry, Micah suddenly recalled a faint memory.
"...I did. For your birthday." The blonde answered. Merlin nodded.
"Yes. And it was then that we became close friends." She said, dropping the chain necklace. Merlin gave a sad expression. "Micah, you may not remember, but you longed for a normal life. One without the duties of a Holy Knight, without the constraints of being known as the sister of Meliodas. I just wanted you to experience that once. I never would have guessed that being pronounced the murders of the Great Holy Knight would be the perfect time." Micah furrowed her brows.
"Perfect time?" She questioned. Sighing, Merlin ran her fingers through her hair before answering.
"Because of that incident, the Sins were forced to go into hiding." She explained. "The Captain may not remember but another situation occurred which caused him to become emotionally unstable. Fearing that he would not be able to care for you during that period of time, I decided to change your identity to Alice and send you to that village to have the normal life you wished for...Micah, I don't expect you to forgive me, but I just wanted you to know." Micah fell silent. After hearing Merlin's confession, memories of their time together came rushing back to her. Crying once again not out of anger, but of sadness for her friend, Micah buried her face into her hands and sobbed.
"I-I never k-knew Merlin...I'm sorry. I-I'm so sorry..." She cried out. The wizardess shook her head and patted Micah's back soothingly.
"No. I'm sorry that I hid the truth from you all these years." She apologized, embracing the girl into a hug. Micah touched her ivy shaped choker. Glowing, Elaine appeared and proceeded to calm her.
"Don't cry. Your brother nor your adoptive family would not want you to be sad." The fairy said. Sniffling, Micah smiled at her. The shadows on her body disappeared, but her hair and eye colors remained the same.
"Thank you..." she whispered out. Then, Micah looked at Merlin. "Where are we?" The witch nodded towards the shattered window.
"You were originally in Baste." She answered. "But I transported you here due to your injuries and circumstances at the time. You're in Camelot now." Eyes widening in disbelief, Micah rushed over to the window. Outside she spotted a great bustling town that had a large, round wall surrounding it. Shocked, Micah suddenly realized something.
"Wait! What about Meliodas and the others?!" She cried out, recalling her injured brother. "They must be worried sick!" Merlin simply patted her head.
"You didn't think I would leave with you without an excuse, did you?" She asked. "The Captain's fine, I just checked him a little bit before. I wrote a small letter saying that you were conflicted with your two identities and decided to leave for some time alone to think. Besides, you were planning to do that anyways, right?" Micah pouted a little.
"You know, you can really be annoying at times." She said before laughing. Elaine giggled along with her as Merlin broke out into an amused smile. Then, with twinkling eyes, Merlin snapped her fingers, causing the windows to be prepared.
"Well now that's all settled, why don't we look around the castle?" She asked. "After all, I'm sure a certain person is just dying to meet you~!"
After all, it just ends painfully...or does it?
"...Merlin. This dress is so stiff!" Micah whined. The witch tsked playfully as she adjusted the ribbon laced through Micah's golden locks. Elaine was helping by tidying up the ends of her dress.
"Now, now. Don't you want to look adorable to the man who let you stay at this castle?" Merlin questioned with her signature smirk. Pouting, Micah looked into the full body mirror in front of her. Changing from her swordsman outfit, she now don on a white dress decorated with gold lace. Her long silk sleeves had many layers to them, reaching down to her knees. The dress went well with her jewelry and added a more sophisticated look on the girl. A pair of white slippers completed the outfit. Her hair was in its most natural state, with only strands of pure white and gold ribbon weaved through them. After tying the ribbons, Merlin stepped back and examined the girl.
"There! All done! Don't you look all lovely now?" She complimented. Micah, though she hated how the corset restricted her breathing, had to admit that the dress was really lovely indeed. She had never worn this type of gown when she was Alice, and she doubt that she wore something this extravagant during her time as a Sin either.
"I guess you're right." She agreed. "But Merlin, where are we anyways? You said castle...but who does it belong to?" A mischievous grin appeared on the woman's face.
"It's a surprise~...Now, let's go out, shall we?" Merlin said before looking at Elaine who had just finished. "There's no need for you to return back to the necklace. I'm sure you're curious to look around, right?" A look of surprise followed by a slight blush answered Merlin's question. "No one has to know about you're identity as a fairy. I doubt anyone will ask, but if they do, just tell them that your a maid to Micah." Then, with a flick of her wrist, the door swung open. "Now, shall go?" Nodding, Micah followed Merlin out, the fairy tailing behind her.
As they ventured around the castle, Micah was pleasantly surprised how clean it was, considering that it was such a large castle. The hallways had an air of nobility to it, yet at the same time, she felt an aura that reminded the girl of her little village. Merlin, acting as their guide, explained everything they saw.
"The door on the left happens to be my workshop. It's where I test spells and make potions. I'll show you what's inside...when I get things cleaned up." The wizardess explained. Then, after a bit of ways, she stopped in front of a set of large oak doors. "This is the throne room where the owner of this castle resides of political matters. He is also the king of Camelot." Nodding, Micah suddenly halted.
"W-Wait...King of Camelot?" Micah stuttered. "Then, do you mean-?!" Merlin giggled at her expression.
"Yes, dear. Arthur Pendragon, your childhood friend and king of Camelot, is the owner of this castle." She answered. "Though, he doesn't know that you're here yet. why don't we surprise him?" Merlin opened the doors with a slight push, a slight creak breaking the calm atmosphere. As the space widened, Micah began to hear voices.
"My King. I think that taxing the peasants more would be a better solution." A voice said. "That way-"
"No, Michael. If we do that, they will feel oppressed." A familiar voice argued. "If we are going to raise the taxes, it must be done fairly. That means both the nobility and the poor."
Micah felt her eyes water as she heard the voice of her childhood friend. When the door completely opened, Micah looked inside. Sitting on the throne was Arthur with a small group of people surrounding him, most likely advisers. Two knights stood besides the king, still like a stone statue. Too absorbed with his discussion, Arthur had not noticed when Merlin approached him.
"Your Majesty." Merlin called out. Arthur looked up and saw her. Smiling, he stood up from the throne.
"Merlin! Can you help us with a small problem?" He asked. "Apparently, this year's harvest isn't as good as last years. So there's been some concerns about how the economy will hold." Merlin nodded.
"I heard. Have no fear, King Arthur. I have already examined and fixed the problem, so there is no need to raise taxes this time." Then, her eyes twinkled with amusement. "My Lord, I have someone to introduce to you." Then, she waved towards Micah. Gulping, Micah felt Elaine gasp her hand in reassurance. Smiling at her, Micah walked out to the open, revealing herself. Arthur blinked his eyes.
"Merlin, who is she?" The King questioned. Micah was stunned and furious. She knew that her appearance had changed, but did it change so much that her long-time childhood friend couldn't even recognize her?
"Arthur! You idiot! How can you forget me?!" She yelled. As the advisers gasped at her outrage, a look of recognition flickered in Arthur's eyes.
"That voice...I recognized it anywhere!" The king said. "Alice! Alice, is that you?!" Micah rolled her eyes.
"Took you long enough." She answered before smiling. "How have you been, Arthur?" Laughing happily, Arthur ran over and picked up Micah, twirling her around. "Wah! Arthur! Arthur, put me down!" Micah cried out. Chuckling, the king stopped twirling as he gazed at her.
"I never thought I'd see you again." He whispered as he put her down. Then, Arthur grinned at Merlin. "I can't believe you didn't tell me!" Merlin smiled back.
"Well, I wanted to keep it as a surprise for you. I know that you like them." She answered. Then, the mage turned to the others. "I suggest you all leave now. I'm sure our king would like some time alone to speak with his, ah, friend." Grumbling, the advisors soon left the room, albeit with suspicious looks towards Micah. The knights were soon dismissed by Merlin as well. Now alone, Merlin nodded towards the childhood friends. "You can speak properly now that the people are gone." Arthur smiled.
"Thank you. You always know what to do." He thanked before facing Alice. "So, why did you decide to change your appearance? I honestly think that brown looks good on you, Alice." Micah sighed.
"Arthur. This is my real form." She explained. "And don't call me Alice, it's Micah." Arthur frowned.
"Real form? Micah? What are you talking about?" He questioned. Micah, not wanting to reveal what Merlin had done on her behalf, instead pulled herself away from the king.
"...My name isn't Alice. It's Micah. I am the younger sister of Meliodas, captain of the Seven Deadly Sins." Micah revealed. "I am the secret eighth member." Shocked, Arthur looked to Merlin who nodded in to confirm it.
"When the Seven Sins were accused for murder and revolt, I had hidden Micah as Alice and locked her memories away so that she could live as a normal girl. However, Micah had to appear again." The magician explained, revealing her secret about Micah. "I didn't tell you this before for fear that it would get out to the public. I apologize." Arthur looked conflicted. Grabbing Micah's hand, he gave an upset and almost desperate look at her.
"Does that mean...our time together was also fake? The first time we met, when we played in the forest?" He asked. Micah, recalling all he said, embraced him into a hug.
"Whether or not my identity was fake, our time and memories together are not...Arthur. We will and always be friends..." She whispered, and pulled away. "Nothing will change that." Purple met green and blue, and the two of them stared at each other before the king began to chuckle.
"Hehe...you're right. But, calling Micah now is just too weird. I think I'm going to stick with calling you Alice." He decided. Micah rolled her eyes.
"Fine. Only because I know you won't budge." She muttered. Laughing, Arthur then noticed Elaine.
"Who's she? I don't think I remember her..." he pointed out. Elaine quickly hid behind her mistress, not used to interacting with humans from outside her home. Patting her head, Micah answered the king.
"This is Elaine. I helped her with something and she's been indebted to me ever since. She's really shy though, but I'm sure she'll get along just fine." The blonde explained. Just then, Merlin intervened.
"Well, now that introductions are out of the way, why don't you guide her around Camelot, Arthur? I'm sure she'll be interested!" Arthur's eyes lit up.
"Good idea, Merlin!" He exclaimed. Grabbing her hand, Arthur began to lead Micah out. "Alice! I'll show you everything about Camelot!"
"Wah! What for me, Lady Micah!" Elaine cried out as she ran after them, but promptly tripped as she was used to floating. However, she stood up almost immediately and began to chase after them again. As she watched them off, Merlin saw the ruby gemstone on Micah's bracelet begin to glow. Her lips pursed into a slight frown.
"...Those gemstone's only begin to break when something troublesome will happen soon...that can't be good. I'd better check to make sure..." she murmured. Within a second, Merlin disappeared.
Angel of Miracles, can you overcome the challenges posed from such attraction...?
When Arthur promised to show Micah everything, he really meant everything. They had seen the bustling towns and shops, snacking on various of sweets and delicacies as they looked around. Arthur even taught her how to ride a horse when they went to visit the stable, and was forced to save Micah when the horse began to run off with the girl. Afterwards, the king brought her to the top of his castle, where Micah could see the whole kingdom.
"Wow! It's so beautiful!" Micah gushed out, taking in the sight. The sun had just begun set, casting its orange-red rays onto the whole kingdom. Even Elaine was speechless, peering over the edge of the railing. Arthur smirked playfully.
"Well, Camelot is quite the sight during a sunset. That's why I saved it for last. I knew that you would enjoy it, Alice." The king said. Then, he surprised her when the young man drew his fingers through the girl's hair. "...I know I said that brown looked better on you, but against the sunset, I think blonde is better. Almost like gold, don't you think?" Blushing, Micah turned away from him.
"Ah...Yes." She responded, avoiding any eye contact with him. Elaine looked between the two of them before putting on a small smile.
"I think I'm going to leave now. I have something I want to check out." She said before running away.
"Ah! Elaine!" Micah shouted as she began to chase after her, only to be stopped by Arthur.
"No, let her go. I think she'll be fine. After all, I don't want you to miss the surprise that will happen soon." He said cryptically. Though slightly confused, Micah nevertheless stayed, and watched as the sun slowly sank into the ground. As the serene moon began to rise, Micah snuggled against Arthur, enjoying his company. It had always been this way when she was Alice. The young, energetic, and positive boy had found a way to burrow himself into her heart. Micah remembered once when she was crying near a stream, because her parents refused to let her go outside the village like the other children could. Arthur, who had found her, did his best to cheer the girl up, going even as far as bruising his pride as a man. Needless to say, his attempts worked and at the end of the day, Alice was rolling on the ground in laughter. It was then that she truly began to trust Arthur and confide in him her worries and dreams. Micah smiled at that memory. Suddenly, when the moon rose to the peak and the sky turned into a midnight blue, Micah gasped as she saw the millions of twinkling stars. Though this wasn't the first time she had seen the stars, she was surprised by a certain, unique constellation. Shining brighter than the rest of the stars, it resembled a person with wings. As she stared at the constellation, Micah heard Arthur speak.
"...On a certain day of the year, here in Camelot, a particular constellation appears, and it can't be seen on any other day for some reason. Because of this, no one outside of this kingdom really knows about." He explained, looking at her. "I first noticed it when I pulled the sword, Excalibur, from the stone. It was during my coronation that I truly saw what it was. The people here say that its an angel, a being of two different clans. Some say it's a terrible omen of destruction, while others say that it brings peace and love to the world. Either way, the constellation is known for its beauty and fascinates philosophers...Alice, do you know what today is?" Micah tore her eyes from the twinkling figure as she gazed sheepishly at Arthur.
"No...I lost track of time for a while now..." she confessed. Arthur smiled even wider.
"...Alice. It's your birthday today." He revealed. Micah widened her eyes in surprise.
"Huh?! It is?! How do you know?" She gasped, finding hard to believe. The young man laughed.
"Haha...Well, it's the constellation. For some odd reason, it always appear on your birthday. I would never forget when your birthday is, so it's always a reminder...You're sixteen, right? The same age as I am?" Micah nodded.
"Yes...I'm sixteen now..." Then, a certain event resurfaced into her mind.
"...Do you have to go, Arthur?" Alice whimpered, wiping her tears away with the backs of her hands. Arthur nodded sadly.
"Yeah...I have to go with Father and Kay...I'll miss you, Alice." He whispered.
It was the day that she would always remember. Arthur's father was sent to another post to guard, and so the Pendragons had to go with him. Alice gripped the front of her dress as Arthur hugged her.
"*Hic*...Don't go..." the girl whispered as she gripped him tighter. Arthur, simply shook his head.
"Alice...I must leave. But, I promise, I'll be back for you someday...When you turn the age of sixteen, I will have something for you. Wait for me until then." He asked. Soon, it was time. Alice watched as they left, tears streaming down her face as her father held her daughter.
"Don't worry Alice..." Her father comforted. "He cares a great deal about you. I'm sure he'll keep his promise to you..."
"...So, what did you want to give me?" Micah asked. The king blushed as he averted his eyes.
"A-Ah...w-well..." He stuttered out. Clearing his throat, Arthur suddenly let go off her as he bent down on one knee. Taking her hand, the Pendragon gazed at Micah with serious intent. "...There was a second reason why I wanted to show you around...to get this..." Keeping one hand on hers, he took a small box from his pockets and opened it to reveal a golden ring with a shining diamond in the middle.
"Will you marry me?" Arthur asked. Micah stood there, stunned. But, she had expected this. There was an undeniable connection to him, and Micah recalled his behavior whenever they were together. It would only make sense as she loved him back. But, there was something that resonated deep inside her, preventing the girl from answering right away. It was as though she had forgotten something, and that if Micah agreed, someone would suffer dearly. Micah struggled to figure out what to do when she suddenly heard screaming. Both of them quickly looked down, where they saw people running away as a group of burly men began to attack. A fire began to quickly blaze through the town.
"Bandits?! How they get in here?!" Arthur exclaimed. Eyes narrowing, Micah jumped over the railing. Her earring glowed a brilliant white, and a rush of air slowly descended her to the ground. Though momentarily shocked at her arrival, the bandits quickly recovered and surrounded Micah, giving her leers and sneers.
"Well lookie here lads! A little girl in front of us!" A man, who seemed to be the leader, shouted. Guffawing, he pointed his sword at Micah. "Now, why don't ya go back to yer daddy? We didn't just sneak in here fer nothing, we already killed people!" Micah's eyes glowed momentarily as she smirked.
"...What's the matter? Afraid to fight a 'little girl'?" She taunted. Growling, the bandit raised his sword up.
"Don't you mock me!" The man yelled. As he swung down, Micah easily sidestepped the attack. She then grabbed his sword, breaking it in half as the blonde drop kicked him in the abdomen. As he stumbled back clutching his stomach, the other bandits began to attack as well. Dodging each of them with ease, Micah soon incapacitated the bandits. Suddenly, she heard a voice.
"Wah! Mommy! Daddy!" A little boy cried out, clutching his tear soaked teddy bear. Confused and lost, he stood there in the middle of the battle, unaware as a piece of wooden beam, from a nearby burning house, fell. Immediately, Micah sprinted towards the boy. Covering the child with her body, she screamed out in pain as the flaming beam hit her. Gritting her teeth, Micah pushed away the debris with all the strength she could muster. No doubt suffering from at least a third degree burn, the blonde felt her consciousness slip as the boy called out to her. Then, her eyes closed just as a flash of brilliant red was seen. Suddenly, Micah found herself in the white void once more. Standing in front of her was Alethea and Sidero, as well as a large dragon whose body was made of flames and molten lava. Sidero tsked with annoyance.
"That was foolish of you. You may have incredible healing abilities, but your demon powers are locked away, so you can't access it. That could have killed you!" She scolded. Micah frowned slightly. What did Sidero mean by "Demon powers"? Alethea looked kindly at Micah.
"But, because you did, a child's life was saved. Micah, what you did was right." The Goddess reminded. Then, Alethea walked over and put her hands over Micah's. "Our time had already come. It is your turn now. What you will do, and what you decide, we will follow you. Because you are are hopes, our dreams, our ideals..." The dragon roared in agreement.
"My lady...the one who the Dragons of each Element serve...I, Vulcan, will serve you once more...With my strength, you will control the red flames of this world." The dragon said. Then, the red gem on Micah's bracelet shattered and reformed as a oval shaped gemstone on a golden chain. As the scene faded into black once more, Micah saw Alethea and Sidero hold hands, and wondered faintly why such bitter enemies would act like that. Micah opened her eyes to see Elaine holding her hand, crying. Seeing that she woke up, the fairy cried even harder.
"Lady Micah! I'm so sorry!" Elaine sobbed. "I-!" Micah stopped her.
"It's alright Elaine...Don't cry." She soothed. As she tried to sit up, Micah hissed in pain, causing her to remember her burnt back and the child. "Where did the boy go?" Then, the blonde spotted the child, crying in the arms of his relieved parents.
"Careful. Though I healed most of it, you still have broken bones." Merlin warned as she materialized next to her. Her pretty face was marred by a frown. "I never gave those bandits enough credit...if I had been more careful..." Suddenly, Micah heard more screaming. The fire had risen to an even higher height, and the people where running from it. She saw in the midst of it Arthur leading the people away. "...This is no ordinary fire—someone created and enchanted it. Even with my skills, if I can't discover who created it then I'm unable to quickly stop it. That's why we're evacuating the citizens first. But, I can sense evil radiating from it." Merlin explained. Micah touched her newly acquired necklace, which responded with a faint red glow.
"...I can stop it." Micah answered as she stood up, ignoring the pain from her back. As the people pushed her away to escape, Micah calmly walked towards the blazing fire.
"Lady Micah!" Elaine cried out as she began to follow her, only to be stopped by Merlin.
"No. Micah can handle this." The mage said with conviction as she watched the girl continue walking. Only inches from the roaring disaster, Micah could hear the yells of people telling her to get back, including Arthur, who was restrained by his knights. Raising her hands towards the flames, Micah's necklace began to glow a crimson red as her eyes shined.
"I call upon thee, the Dragon of Flames, Vulcan. Extinguish the rebellious flames and the murderous feelings that lingered within this fiery inferno. Let thou art cleanse the impurity and banish thy magic to the other realm!" Micah commanded. Glowing even brighter, the necklace spewed forth flames that resembled a dragon. Roaring, it attacked the flames which responded back with ferocity. Micah's flames slowly overpowered the evil magic. In a last ditched effort, the flames shot themselves at her. Just then, a cloaked person shot from the shadows and unsheathed a silver sword, with a hilt shaped like wings, from their side. Micah saw icy blue eyes from beneath the hood as the person blocked the attack, steam rising from where the fire touched the now blue glowing blade.
"Do it now!" The person shouted. Nodding, Micah clapped her hands together, signaling Vulcan to consume the fire. Soon, only embers of the malicious fire remained as Micah's flames disappeared. Stomping one out, Micah turned to thank the person when she noticed something odd. Or rather familiar about their eyes. Memories flashed her eyes as the girl pulled the hood down, revealing a woman with ice colored hair.
"You...you're Eira, a Holy Knight of Liones! What are you doing here?!" Micah demanded. Eira slapped Micah's hand away as she quickly pulled her hood up.
"You idiot! Do you want the others to find out?!" She hissed out looking around. Seeing that no once noticed, the knight continued. "Listen! Ever since The Great Holy Knight died, the new ones have been acting strange. They've been imposing harsh rules and punishment against the weak. Some of us can't stand that and created a secret rebel group to stop them. I came here under the excuse of looking for the Seven Deadly Sins when a spy overheard some bandits talking about getting magic from a witch...I was prepare to fight them when you came. What are you doing here in Camelot?"
"It's none of your concerns." Micah said coolly. "Even if you are part of the rebellion, the Holy Knights still attacked that protected me and slaughtered them all! That's what Gilthunder said!" Eira shook her head.
"That's what he wants everyone to think. In actuality, we evacuated the whole village. Gilthunder's part of the resistance." The woman said. Micah widened her eyes in shock.
"Are you serious?! But, he tried to kill me and my brother!" The blonde argued. Eira gave a sad expression.
"That's because he's forced to. Someone's holding the person he loves hostage." The knight revealed. "We managed to communicate through cryptic messages and signals, but it's only a matter of time before they find out...that's why he cut ties with us." Suddenly, they heard voices shouting for Micah. Cursing, Eira thrust a small pouch into Micah's hands.
"Here! If you want to know more, follow the directions on this map! Until we meet again, Sin!" Eira whispered before slipping into the crowd. Micah clutched the leather pouch tightly before hiding it behind her back as she saw Arthur running towards her, as well as Elaine. Merlin calmly levitated towards the girl.
"Alice! Are you alright?" The king asked, as he inspected her. Slipping the pouch in her sleeve, Micah nodded.
"Yes, I'm fine Arthur. Did you know how the bandits got in and what caused the fire?" She inquired to which Merlin answered.
"They managed to hide in a cargo wagon and killed the soldiers originally on it. As for the fire...from what the rogues said, a mysterious witch gave it to them with a promise that they released it in Camelot. I'm still looking in on that." The wizardess explained. Hugging Elaine, Micah looked at the damage that was caused to the castle and grimaced.
"What was the goal of causing such carnage?" She whispered out. Then, two voices whispered in her mind as though to answer her question.
"Utter destruction and the revival of the Demons..."
Beneath the castle, under the cover of night, scratching sounds of a quill could be heard. With one single candle, it illuminated a small part of the room. A man with short white silver hair and a goatee was visible, his turquoise eyes staring intently on the paper in front of him. He put his quill down and sighed as another man appeared before him, with green hair and a copper colored armor.
"...What is it, Helbram?" He asked, not taking his eyes off the written paper. Helbram bowed.
"Master Hendrickson. We've received reports from our spies. It seemed that Lady Eira was spotted in Camelot when the fire was supposed to take place. However, we aren't sure whether or not she helped in extinguishing the magic." A small smirk crept up Hendrickson's lips as he placed the papers down.
"But, you were sure that Eira was there?" He questioned. Helbram nodded.
"Yes. Positive." The man replied. Chuckling darkly, Hendrickson, took out a small locket and clicked it opened, revealing a neatly drawn portrait of a couple.
"That's all I need to know...My dear Eira. It finally seems you've been caught in this spider web at last."
As another element is obtain, new and old faces emerges...How does Micah know Eira and what is the Holy Knight's relationship to the mysterious Hendrickson? What is this new and dark magic that almost threatened to engulf Camelot? Will Micah go and meet with Eira? How will Micah reply to the confession of Arthur? Until Next Time...
