Lemon alert! Lemon alert! Just letting you know that there is some serious lemon ahead.
Zeldris snuck up the stairs of the Boar Hat, trying to be as quiet as possible. Entering the store room, he began to search for the hidden latch. "Come on. Come on, ah! There you are!" Looking behind him once more he lifted the latch and entered what used to be his prison. Thank you Meliodas for letting me out of here, he thought as he searched for the rooms new occupant.
"I'm over here."
Zeldris spun towards the sound of her voice and saw her sitting on the floor below the window. Looking a little worse for the wear Zaneri still was quite beautiful, but nothing compared to-
Shaking his head Zeldris spoke. "I want to know where you have been since the war ended."
"What do you care Demon? Where I was is of no concern to you, and entirely my business so let me out or fuck off." She said matter-of-factly.
Leaning back against the door Zeldris said, "It's completely my business considering that you have been thought to be dead all this time. And not just dead, but dead by the hands of the Ten Commandments. I think that that would be my business."
Looking away from him Zaneri replied, "I don't know."
"You don't know what? Where you were? If you died?" He asked sarcastically.
Looking back at him she said, "Yes."
Taken aback a little by the lifeless look in her eyes, Zeldris cleared his throat. "Tell me the last thing you remember during the Holy War."
"Why should I tell you a damn thing? You creatures locked me up in this room just because Meliodas can't take watching his girlfriend die again. Boo-hoo! I have lost everything! My home! My family! My friends! Everything is gone and it's all your fault!" She yelled.
"Tell me what I want to know and I'll set you free." Zeldris said.
Standing up. Zaneri walked closer to Zeldris and cocked her head, "Are you lying Demon? Remember that I still have enough power to end your life if you are."
"I have never lied in my life. Tell me and I'll set you free." Zeldris repeated.
Thinking about it for a minute Zaneri nodded her head. "Alright then, the last thing I remember was being in Istar with Jenna. Theo had already died and we were trying to keep the Grey Demons from overrunning the place. I heard Jenna yell for me and as I turned there was a bright light and then nothing. I woke up and Istar was ravaged but Demon free and I tried to keep it together myself, but I couldn't. Happy?"
"One more question and then we're done. How long ago did you wake up?" He asked.
Looking at him strangely she asked, "Why is that important?"
"Just answer the question and then you're free." Zeldris said steadily.
"It was a month ago." She said warily, looking away from him. "But it had to have been longer because every person I heard talking about the war said it was over months ago. Maybe the explosion kept me out longer than I thought, or maybe I sustained some kind of head-" Zaneri was cut off by the sound of the door closing and locking.
"You lying bastard! I will kill you for this!" She screamed, although no one heard.
Downstairs in the barroom
"She doesn't know does she?" Merlin asked as Zeldris made his way behind the bar.
"No, she doesn't. She thinks she woke up from an explosion a month ago." He says gravely. Quickly drinking his beer, he refilled it and came to sit with the mage. "It makes sense. She had to have died. I remember the attack she spoke of, I was there. I know they all died. I made sure of it." He spoke flatly. Zeldris wasn't proud of what he had done. He only wanted his father's approval, and to be his successor someday. So much for that, he thought.
"We all have regrets Zeldris," Merlin said. "It's how we deal with them that sets us apart from others. You are very much so like your brother. He has so many regrets but he has learned to let them go. And so, should you." Standing up she continued, "Now, I should let the Captain know what we think." Stopping before she climbs the stairs she faces the ceiling and smiles. "Maybe I'll wait just a little longer.
Meliodas and Elizabeth's room
Yesterday started out so good, he thought. And now here we are. Just like many times before. Nuzzling into Elizabeths neck a little more, Meliodas sighed. I want you to wake up but at the same time I want you to sleep, he thought. I want to speak to you and hear you laugh, but I also want to prolong your life. The longer you sleep, the longer you're here with me. But also, the longer you sleep the less I get to hear your voice, see your eyes, or kiss your lips.
"Elizabeth, I just hope that one day we will be in a bed just like this. But we will be old and have raised our children and enjoyed our grandchildren. We will fall asleep and drift off into the next world together. I want that so very badly." Meliodas whispered to her.
"So do I."
Hearing her voice, Meliodas knew that the clock had started. Three days left to live. Three days left to hold her like this, to smell her hair or to feel her touch. Opening his eyes, he propped himself up on an arm to look down at her. "Hello beautiful." He said.
Smiling at him she cupped his cheeks and pulled him down for a kiss. Slowly but passionately the kiss went on and on. Moment by moment the intensity grew as they let their desire grow. Hands clutched hair, clothes were ripped in the haste to be rid of them. Only once they were skin to skin did Meliodas stop kissing her.
"Elizabeth wait, we shouldn't be doing this right now. Everything is so confusing and I don't want you to regret doing this. I love you so much, I don't want to make you do something that you don't want to do." He said while caressing her face.
Elizabeth took a few moments to think about what he said. Coming to her decision she smiled and ran her fingers through his hair. "Meliodas, I don't want to wait. I love you and anytime, anywhere this happens it is going to be right because it's you. It has always been you and will always be you. I would never regret giving myself to you, no matter what is going on in our life. Now please make love to me, make me feel how much you love me."
"You never have to beg me for anything." He says to her. Beginning to kiss her jaw and down her neck he pauses and raises his head to look at her. "Unless I tell you to." He says with a devilish smile. With her laughter he resumes trailing wet kisses and small bites down her neck and chest. Stopping at her breasts he takes them into his hands and begins to lick and suck on one nipple, and he tweaks the other with his fingers.
Oh yes, she thought. It feels so good when he does that. Suckling her, giving little bites to her nipples and around them. Switching from right to left he begins again. "Yes!" She cries out when his hand travels down her stomach to her pussy. Skipping right past teasing her, his fingers dive right through her folds. Piercing her with two fingers he starts to slowly fuck her with them. Bringing his thumb up to circle her clit makes her stomach muscles flutter as she feels her orgasm start to build.
"Hum, somebody is enjoying herself. You just got so wet for me," He couldn't wait any more and he began to kiss down her stomach and settle himself between her legs. Still pumping in and out of her he picked up his pace, "Look at this sweet little pink pussy just asking for me to devour it." Looking up at her he says, "Now I want to hear you beg me. I want you to beg me to eat your cunt."
"Meliodas please! I- I need you! Please! Eat my pussy!" She begged as she tried to pull his head closer to her center.
"Shh. I've got you." Using his thumbs, he pulled her pussy lips apart and dove in. Gods her taste is so delicious, he thought. After 3,000 years it only gets better. Not wanting to torment her he licked and sucked her clit, while speeding up his fingers. Feeling her begin to tighten up even more, he knew she was close so he crooked his fingers inside her to feel for that small spongy spot that drives her crazy. There it is. Rubbing against that as he continues to suckle her clit and bat it with his tongue, she starts to wail and he feels the contraction of her pussy.
"MELIODAS!" Elizabeth shouts as her orgasm crests. Panting and crying out she rides it as he begins to slow down his thrusting fingers. Felling him pull them out and suck them clean, she grabs his shoulders and pushes him onto his back. Crawling over him she straddles his hips and bends down to kiss him. Tasting herself on his lips is so erotic, she thought. Wanting to return the pleasure he gave her she starts to kiss down his jaw and neck. Suckling and biting his chest as he groans and his hips jerk up to rub his dick on her pussy.
Gods I can feel her juices dripping down on me, he thought. She's going to drive me mad! "Elizabeth! I don't know how much longer I can hold on." He begs, clutching the blanket beneath him. He can feel her licking down his stomach, and her hand coming to his cock, wrapping around it. Watching her between his legs as her head gets closer to him he can't take it. Sitting up he ignores her surprised squeak and grabs her and flips her so she's under him again. "You drive me crazy Elizabeth!" Looking at her face as he settles between her legs once more he asks, "Are you sure?"
"Yes Meliodas. I am sure." Leaning she kisses him again, and as she lays back she says, "Make me yours." Hearing him growl a little she giggles until she feels him place his cock at her entrance. Wrapping her legs around his waist she nods up at him and he quickly sheathes himself inside her. Tensing up through the pain, Elizabeth could feel twin tears track down her cheeks. Meliodas leaned down and kissed them away saying, "It's alright. That's all the pain, over and done. Now just relax and breath for me."
He felt so terrible for causing her pain, but also elated about being her first. Yup, he was a bastard, he thought. Waiting for her to be alright was agonizing. She felt so tight, so wet, so mind-bendingly good that he had a hard time not coming immediately. After a few minutes she started to move her hips, so he began to make small thrusts to get her used to it. As he rocked into her, she tightened her legs and met his thrusts. Propping himself up better on his hands he started to thrust faster and harder into her.
"Oh, Meliodas! Yes faster! Oh yes that feels so good!" She exclaimed.
Pulling out of her he flipped her onto her hands and knees, "Spread your legs." He growled. Fitting himself back between her legs he thrust back into her pussy. "Yes! You like that princess?" He asked. "Do you like how deep I am inside you?" Guiding her back into his thrust with his hands on her hips, he slams into her harder and faster than before. "Tell me. Tell me you like this." He demanded.
Finding it hard to have a coherent thought, it took Elizabeth a few moments to realize that he wanted an answer. As she felt him slow down she burst out, "No! Please!" Hearing him curse he began to slow even more. "No that's not what I meant." Looking back at him she said, "I like how deep you are inside me. I want to feel you like this forever. Please Meliodas." Seeing that he was still torn she moved her hips, thrusting back into him, "Fuck me."
Tightening his hands on her he began to thrust again. She was slamming back on him without his help, so he moved his hands up her torso to her bountiful breasts. Damn I love her breasts! He thought. He could feel her cunt tighten with each tug on her nipples. Felling her get closer to cumming, he slipped one arm across her chest to her shoulder and grabbed her hair with his other pulling her upright and against his chest. "Do you feel that baby? Yeah that's the spot. You're going to come so hard for me, are you ready?" Slamming harder and harder into her, his breath sawing in and out of his lungs, "Now! Come now!"
Screaming out Elizabeth felt like she was coming apart. Meliodas's arm across her chest helped her to keep moving on his dick all through her orgasm. "YES! Oh that- yes! It feels so- oh Gods!" The waves kept coming one after the other. She could feel Meliodas tighten his grip on her and with his own shout he came deep inside her. Trying to catch her breath, she clung to the arm around her. Tipping them to the side, she followed Meliodas down to the mattress.
Staying inside her, Meliodas wrapped both arms around her and settled into the bed. "I want to stay like this all day." He said against her back. Sending kisses down her spine he felt her giggle as his hair tickled her. She squirmed around until he finally allowed himself to fall out of her heavenly pussy and turn to face him. He immediately wrapped her back in his arms and stuffed his face into her chest. "Come on, let's take a nap." He suggests.
"Meliodas, I would love nothing more than to stay in bed with you all day but there are things we need to be doing." Elizabeth told him.
Holding her tighter he said painfully, "But you don't have much time. I would rather spend what time we have like this with you, rather than having to face the rest of the world."
Lifting her hand to his face she said softly, "It's alright Meliodas. Don't worry about me, everything will work out. You need to get ready. We'll be in Vaizel soon enough and Estarossa is not what he seems."
Confused, Meliodas took her hand, kissed her palm and laid it over his heart. "What do you mean?"
"Don't be distracted Meliodas. Everyone is counting on you to win, to end this war once and for all." Elizabeth said emphatically.
Sitting up Meliodas took her shoulders and sat her up against the headboard. "What are you talking about Elizabeth? The war is over. The Ten Commandments were defeated."
"No Meliodas you have to concentrate! Listen to me, you have to be ready for him otherwise he will kill you. This war will never be over until he is stopped." Elizabeth said.
About to question her further, Meliodas heard a knock at the door. Standing up, he grabbed his shirt and tossed it to Elizabeth. Grabbing his pants, he hopped to the door as he put them on. Looking back, he saw that Elizabeth had covered herself, so he opened the door, "This better be good." He said grouchily to their visitor.
Merlin smirked and said, "Well I did wait for quite a while, and I knocked." With a firm push to the door, Merlin entered the room and continued, "Captain I have to tell you something important. Zeldris and I have a theory about Zaneri and why she has been acting like this." Looking over she sees Elizabeth awake. "Hello Elizabeth." She says as she walks over to the bed. "Are you feeling well?" Looking at her, Merlin feels like something is off.
"I feel fine Lady Merlin, but you need to help Meliodas get ready to end this war once and for all." Elizabeth said.
Looking over at the Captain Merlin saw him ever so slightly shake his head, as if he didn't know what she meant. "Princess, the war ended months ago."
"No, it didn't. It's still happening. It has been happening for 3,000 years. It needs to stop." She said forcefully. And with that she got up and went into the washroom.
"Merlin, what the hell is going on with her?" Meliodas said under his breath.
"I'm not sure. I would need to question and examine her, but Captain we have a bigger issue right now." Merlin said.
"What could be bigger than this?" He asked angrily.
"Captain. She just walked out of here without the glasses on. She can see." Merlin stated.
Meliodas was dumbfounded. I didn't even notice, he thought. "How could I not even see that?" He mumbled to himself, disgusted with his lack of attention.
"You are distracted by the curse Meliodas. In that way she is right. Estarossa obviously has more up his sleeve than we think, and it would be a mistake to underestimate him." Merlin said.
Rubbing his face Meliodas said grumpily, "You know I hate it when you listen at the door." Standing up he walked towards the washroom, not waiting for a reply. Knocking on the door he said, "Elizabeth are you alright? Could I come in please, I need to talk to you."
"Yes, Meliodas you can come in." Elizabeth replied.
About to open the door Meliodas stopped when Merlin laid her hand on his arm, "I need to talk to you Captain. It is quite urgent."
Torn, Meliodas wanted to spend as much time with Elizabeth as possible, but he also knew that Merlin wouldn't insist unless it was dire. Dropping his head, he nodded and spoke through the door, "It looks like our talk will have to wait, I need to hear what Merlin found out about Zaneri. I'll be back soon alright?"
The door opened suddenly and Elizabeth popped her head out and said, "I would like to hear this as well if you don't mind. Give me a minute and I'll be right out." Shutting the door before he could tell her no, Elizabeth began to dress. I have this feeling that once we get to Vaizel something terrible is going to happen, she thought. Meliodas needs to be careful and not discount Estarossa, for all we know he could have regained some power. Thinking of that caused a shiver down her spine. Estarossa scared her without his power, with it she would be terrified.
Looking into the mirror to smooth down her hair she thought, something is not right. Something is missing. I just can't put my finger on it. Staring at herself she figured it out. "Oh My Goddesses!" Meliodas and Merlin heard Elizabeth shout right before the door burst open and she came running out. "I can see! This is- I don't underst-," pausing to take a breath she got her thoughts together. "Is the curse gone?" She asked.
"I don't know Elizabeth." Merlin said. "It should still be there, but maybe your Goddess powers are coming back and overrode it? Without further study I just can't..." She trailed off as she stared at Elizabeth. Where is it? She wondered. It's like the curse is still there, but it's not. I can feel it with my powers but I can't see it with my eyes, Merlin thought, annoyed that she couldn't figure it out.
"Yo Merlin!" Meliodas said, distracting the mage from her study of Elizabeth. "Didn't you say you had something important to tell me?"
"Right. Yes, I did. Come downstairs so Zeldris and I can tell you our theory." Merlin said, turning and walking out of the room.
Following her, Meliodas took Elizabeth's hand and led her down the stairs. Why can't I just be alone with her, he griped silently. Every time I get to be, something happens and it gets ruined. I need to figure out what she was talking about. Maybe with everything going on, and her remembering, she got confused? Gods I hope that's what's happening, and not some new terrible thing piling on top of us.
Entering the barroom, he noticed that only his brother was there. "Where are the rest of the Sins?" He asked Merlin.
"I explained what was happening to Elizabeth. Naturally it upset them greatly, so I gave them a tincture to help them calm down and sleep." Merlin said somewhat evasively.
"Lady Merlin, did you drug them to get them out of the way so that you could work in peace?" Elizabeth asked.
Merlin only smiled in response to the princesses' question.
Shaking his head Meliodas said, "Anyway thanks for telling them. So, what is the big hunch that you two have?" Yawning hugely, he said, "And please be quick because I haven't slept in almost two days."
"Zaneri is lying. Or rather she thinks she's telling the truth which is worse." Zeldris said.
"What do you mean, Zeldris? Merlin what the hell is he talking about?" Meliodas asked moodily.
"He means exactly what he said Captain. Zaneri has no real memory of the past few months since the time when Istar was attacked. That means several things, but only one I think is true. The Shisha Shieki." Merlin announced.
"Wait, isn't that what Hendrickson was using on Sir King's friend Helbram? Isn't that used when a person is..." Elizabeth trailed off not wanting to say it aloud.
"Yes princess," Zeldris said, "She died a long time ago. When Istar was sacked, every Druid in the land was slaughtered and their souls consumed. Or so I thought. My guess is that Estarossa somehow stowed her soul away, for what purpose at the time I don't know but now is using her to either spy on us or to get to you again."
At those words, Elizabeth was glad she was sitting. "Meliodas? Could you get me an ale please?"
His mouth dropping open, Meliodas went behind the bar to pour his Goddess a drink. Bringing it back to her he asked, "Are you sure you want this? You're not a very good drinker."
"I am very sure. Thank you." She said politely and sipped her drink.
"Alright, well I guess now we need to figure out what to do with Zaneri now. Do we kill her?" Meliodas asked Merlin, remembering King having to kill Helbram twice before he finally really died.
"No!" Elizabeth exclaimed. "We can't just kill her! She didn't choose to be brought back, we have to save her from him, she has to be in so much pain, I can't even think about what she has gone through, how could you think that killing her would be-"
Meliodas placed his hands on Elizabeths cheeks and kissed her until she calmed. Pulling back, he looked into her eyes and saw the panic that was there receding. "I will never let him hurt you again. I promise." He said solemnly. Seeing her nod, he said, "I'm sorry Elizabeth but there is no other way. She is already dead. Killing her again will hopefully free her soul to be able to move into the next life."
"I'm sorry." Elizabeth said quietly. "I know what you're saying is the truth, it's just hard to accept that one of us has to kill her. She may not have liked me very much, but she was all of yours friend."
Zeldris cleared his throat. "She wasn't mine." He stated. "I don't really have a problem killing her."
Walking up to Zeldris, Elizabeth took his hand and stared into his eyes. After a few moments she nodded, "Yes you do have a problem with killing her," shushing him as he tried to interrupt her she went on, "But you saw that the rest of us would have a bigger problem with doing it because we know her. But as you said she wasn't your friend so you volunteered." Embracing him she only hugged him for half a second before Meliodas came and hauled her away, growling about touching other men and trying to get them killed.
Smacking Meliodas's arm around her waist, Elizabeth turned back to Zeldris and finished, "Thank you. But we couldn't ask you to do that, we'll figure out another way."
Looking at Meliodas, Zeldris raised a brow in question. Getting a small head shake from him Zeldris let out a sigh. "Alright then. How about we go and see if she has anything to say about this?" He suggests. Everyone agreed and they begin to walk upstairs.
"I want to stop and see is Diane is awake yet." Elizabeth says. "We'll meet you both up there in just a minute."
Nodding their heads, Zeldris and Merlin continue on to the top floor while Meliodas and Elizabeth went left to go towards the Giants bedroom. Knocking on the door Elizabeth waits for a moment before opening it and peering in.
"Diane? Are you in here?" Elizabeth asks the empty looking room. Walking in she looks in the washroom and doesn't find her friend. Reentering the bedroom, she looks to Meliodas and says, "She's not here."
"Maybe she's with King?" He suggests with a wiggle to his eyebrows and a devilish smile.
Laughing a bit, Elizabeth nods her head and she and Meliodas resume walking up to the top floor. Seeing Merlin and Zeldris waiting they hurried over and Merlin lifted the latch to let them into the room.
Looking around Meliodas noticed that the room was eerily quiet. Getting a bad feeling he took Elizabeths hand and pulled her closer to him. This does not feel right, he thought.
With a quick search of the small room and washroom, Zeldris said unbelievingly, "She's not here."
Merlin went quickly to the door, "We need to get out of here now." She said seriously.
Leaving the room, Merlin began to go to each of the other Sins' rooms. Throwing open doors, she sees that no one is where they should be. Hurrying down to the main floor, Merlin stops and concentrates to try and locate her comrades.
Meliodas is going from confused that everyone is not there, to angry that Zaneri may have done something to them. Wrapping his arm around Elizabeth, he unsheathed his sword with the other. "What the fuck is going on here?" He asked fiercely.
"They're all gone." Merlin says. "I cannot feel any other life forms than us."
"How the fuck did that happen Merlin? They wouldn't have just left us! They know how dangerous it is right now and that we all need-" Meliodas was saying until Merlin interrupted him.
"Captain you don't understand what I'm saying." Stepping up to him she says, "WE are the ONLY lifeforms I can sense. I do not sense Mama Hawk or any humans in the surrounding villages. I can always feel any life that is around me. And there is none." Merlin goes over to the door and opens it to find nothing but blackness outside. No night sky, just pure black.
Walking up to the door Zeldris looks out and says, "It's not demonic. It feels wrong. I can't quite put my finger on it but it feels almost like..."
"Like a dream." Elizabeth finishes. Everyone looks at her. "I felt like this since I woke up but I thought maybe it was just me but now... It feels like I'm dreaming. But it's the kind of dream that feels so real that you think you're awake."
"Dammit!" Meliodas yells. "We aren't dreaming, we're in an illusion. That bitch! I'm gonna kill her for this!" Meliodas starts to pace across the room.
"You're right Captain. This is Zaneri's power." Looking to Zeldris she explains, "Zaneri can create very realistic illusions to test people's strength." Gesturing to the room she says, "Everything here is not real. She has us under her spell and the question is for how long we have been under."
Elizabeth watched the others as she tried not to think about where they were headed. And the fact that she had no control over her actual body. And the fact that Zaneri is under some evil mage's curse and she was going to deliver them to Estarossa. We were going to face him and stop him, but now they were all defenseless. He could do anything he wanted to them... to her.
"No. No, please. I don't want to be here anymore. I need to wake up now!" Elizabeth began to plead. "Zaneri! Please don't do this! I can't go through this again, I can't be like this around him." Elizabeth choked as tears poured down her face. Meliodas picked her up and cradled her in his arms. "Meliodas, I'm so scared. I can't- I'm not able to fight him again. Please I just want to wake up."
Meliodas went from angry to enraged with Elizabeths outburst. Knowing there was nothing he could do to keep her safe, to keep Estarossa away from her was making him crazy. Tightening his arms around her he looked to Merlin, pleading with his eyes to please help.
Seeing her friends like this was heartbreaking for Merlin. Shaking herself she began to try and think about all that she knew about Druid practices. Only one thing came to mind, and it was a very long shot. "Elizabeth, I need you to calm down." She said to the distraught princess.
"Merlin leave her-" Meliodas said.
"Captain I need her to try something and she has to calm down enough to be able to do it. And before you ask she is the only one who can." Merlin said shortly.
Frowning at his friend, Meliodas lowered Elizabeths feet to the ground. Cupping her cheeks, her began to wipe her tears with his thumbs. "I told you that you are the strongest person I know. And I meant it." Kissing her lightly he continued, "If Merlin says you're the only one who could do this then she's right. So I need you to take some deep breaths for me and calm your thoughts."
Looking into Meliodas's beautiful eyes helps, she thought. Letting herself get lost in them for a little while, she can feel her mind calming. Nodding her head, she kissed him back and turned to the mage. "Ok Lady Merlin. What do I need to do?"
"Do you remember when you and Meliodas went through your trials?" At her nod, Merlin went on, "There was a word that Zaneri used to bring him out of his trance. Do you remember it?"
Thinking back Elizabeth remembered how difficult it was to watch Meliodas struggle like that. She recalled Zaneri touching his forehead and saying, "Nemeza. She touched him and said Nemeza. What does that mean?"
"It means 'awaken'. Princess I want you to try and concentrate on your power, all of it, and try to wake us up with that word." Merlin proposed.
"Do you think it will work?" Zeldris asked.
"I don't know. I'm hoping that because of her elevated power from remembering her past that it will be enough to bridge the gap and wake us." Facing Elizabeth, she said, "Elizabeth, I don't want you to think about what you're doing. Just concentrate on gathering and focusing your power. Only when you feel that you have all of it do I want you to try and wake up Meliodas alright?" Merlin asked.
Nodding her head Elizabeth turned back to Meliodas. Placing her forehead against his she said softly, "You know I love you right?"
"Of course you do. You have excellent taste." He said with a smile.
Stepping back with a smile Elizabeth closed her eyes and just breathed. Looking deep within herself she imagined that her body was a well. And she began to think of her power as the water in the well. With every memory, with every life that she remembered the water level rose. She worked backwards through her lives, all the way back to being her first self. All the power she had, it started to fill the well rapidly. More and more. Higher and higher. Almost there...
Standing only a step away from Elizabeth, Meliodas saw the glow begin. And as time went on she glowed brighter and brighter. After almost ten minutes of steady glow she opened her eyes, her Goddess eyes. Smiling at him she reached out and caressed his face. "It's time you woke up my love." She said. Bringing one finger to his forehead, "Nemeza."
With a sharp breath Meliodas woke up in a room he didn't recognize. Standing up he looked around but he was alone. He wanted to shout out for Elizabeth, but he didn't want to give himself away. Seeing his weapon was gone, his clothes disheveled, he headed to the window to look outside. Gods, he thought, how long was I asleep? Pulling back the curtain he felt like the ground dropped out from beneath him.
He was in Vaizel.
