26. Kingdom Anniversary
Meliodas trotted down the empty halls, wondering where to go. He was playing hide and seek with Gil, Griamore, and the princesses, but then he fell asleep. He simply had too much fun finding a hiding spot, they couldn't find him at all! Blinking, he tilted his head, noticing an open door. There were a little bit of voices too-ah! It must be his sins!
The sins were the coolest, they were all his best friends. Especially Ban! Ban always played-ah, trained with him, when others wouldn't. Even though he can be a bit stingy some times, Meliodas never minded! Ah, but he shouldn't play favorites. Captains must treat all members equally! That was what his dad said, after all! And his dad was the great holy knight, the best! Though, King also said that it should be alright for many things to be number one, and Meliodas believed him! King was like a king, after all! Giggling to himself, he wondered if Ellie was there, too. While everyone was number one, Ellie would always have a special place!
A little bit (no, very) excited, he walked towards the door, thinking of how he should surprise them. That was how much he liked them, after all.
Making small steps into the room, he noticed how dark it was-until the sudden stench of blood hit him.
Staring at the growing puddle of blood at his feet, his eyes widened, slowly looking up-
"Oh shit Cap'n-"
"Gowther!"
"Blackout Arrow-"
All he could remember that day was screaming desperately for someone's name.
It was the kingdom's anniversary day.
(Nearly a decade has passed since then. Meliodas became an apprentice holy knight.)
