Life 6. Seven Sins of the Week

Today

"My name is Lavender Borrow, son of Elfiena and Gloxinia Borrow, younger brother of Ginger and Mint Borrow.

I used to be the prince of the Fairy race, but after my older brother left to live with a Devil named Ham and my father was killed by Kukulkahn, I became the Fairy King.

While I was the king, I made a deal to help the Seven Sins on their cause to restore the natural order of their faction, and in exchange, they lend me a hand against the other Sprite races on the United Kingdom: Brownies, Nymphs, Dryads, Pixies and, of course, Spriggans.

However, when Mint and Ham returned, they dethroned me, giving the power to my older sister. She exiled me from the Fairy kingdom and disposed me of my rights as a prince.

On that moment when I lost everything, only the group of Devils I made pact with, the Seven Sins, helped me, giving me food and a place to live in.

I have spent around 40 days with them, but this last week had a special emotional impact on me. Because it meant the beginning of my new life."

Sunday

Greed wanted to practice his precision with his sword, so he called me to help him on his only idea. It turned out the only idea that he could think of was-

"Remember, Lavender; you must try to avoid my slashes as much as you can!"

Greed took out Gram and started pursuing me while slashing. Apparently, he thought that, because of my size, I was a perfect practice target to test how precise his slashes were.

I didn't make it easy for him and attacked using Fairy magic a few times, but every time I tried that-

"Don't counterattack, little guy! Let's save that for next time!"

Apparently, this wasn't a one-time training; we ended up repeating this same training every day for the rest of the week.

Greed has an extremely cheerful personality for the kind of person he is, but I don't want to say it in front of him. He would cut me and eat my corpse as a snack if I did.

Monday

Wrath went to Falmouth because he wanted to do a special activity he does every Monday. He has never told me what he does, and apparently, the only sin who knows it is Pride.

Because of that, I secretly followed him from our castle hidden on Snowdon to Falmouth. Once we arrived, I found out what he does every Monday.

"So… do you like fishing?"

"…"

Wrath went to Falmouth to fish. I sat down on his fishing rod while I tried to talk to him.

"Do you eat the fishes you catch?"

"…"

"So you're the kind of fisher who frees them?"

"…"

Just when I believed I ran out of topics to talk about, I said the first thing that came to my mind.

"Do you I look enough like a bug to be used as bait?"

"Because of your wings and size, I'll say yes."

I don't know what upset me the most. The fact he didn't answered my first few questions, or the answer he gave to my last one.

"… Okay, I'll stay quiet."

And just like I said, I stayed quiet for the next two hours as Wrath fished.

He ended up catching only fish and even gave part of it. A really small one by the way, as that fish's head was bigger than my entire body. I seriously could be used as bait.

Tuesday

Gluttony was sitting with his eyes closed on his Japanese styled room, so I got close to him to see what he was doing.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm trying to find a way to increase my [Absolute Order]'s range."

"Why don't you go to the training room?"

"I'm meditating to increase the range of my power and it is calmer here."

"Does it work?"

"It probably will if I could focus."

"And what stops you from being focused?"

"You are talking to me."

As I noticed I needed to stay quiet that time too, I flew towards Gluttony's tea table. He had teacup with black tea on it.

"I doubt I'll do much damage…"

I sat down of the edge of the cup, being uncomfortable because I barely had any space to sit on. I just remained there and meditated for a few minutes.

Just for the record, it was only a few minutes because I lost my balance and felt into the tea. It was really hot.

Wednesday

I was flying in front of a massage table. I have sponge fragments attached to my hands and feet. The reason for this was something I found to be pleasant experience.

"I'm so glad you accepted to do this to me, cute little guy."

"No problem, Lust. And I'd like better if you called me handsome."

"As you please, handsome little guy."

On the other side of the massage table, a naked Lust was talking with me on a really erotic tone. Yes, I was going to use the full size of my relatively small body to rub her back.

Lust rested on the table and I was able to see her huge breasts being pressed against it. Even after being flattened by the table, her breasts were bigger than my entire body…

"I can see you're looking at me breasts, but there's no problem with that. You can touch them if you want."

Once I got authorising from Lust, I got close to her and pressed my body against her breast. The soft and flexible skin made me feel amazing, it was a feeling I haven't feel in my 16 years of life.

After staying on that position for some minutes, I flew over her back and landed on it. By using the sponges on my hands, I started moving around her back.

I went to her shoulder blades, the zone close to her neck, down her spine, over its curves, and even close to her buttocks. I rubbed every single part of her back.

"That was amazing for your size, little guy."

"Haa… don't worry… haa… even when I'm tired… haa… I enjoyed it a lot."

Lust put on an erotic look with an erotic smile while pointing at me with her index finger. And that finger moved to-

"Would you like to find a special something inside this?"

-Her private parts. She asked me to find something on her private parts.

"You know… I think I'm not tired anymore."

That was closet I have ever been to have sex on my whole life. That search was truly intense, by the way.

Thursday

I was on the training room with Pride, who was wearing his armour without his helmet, so I was able to see his long white hair and bishonen face.

"Since I couldn't solve this matter with Ddraig, I want you to solve it."

He stroke on an over the top pose before yelling his question.

"Which ones of these quotes sounds more like "the Devil who is also a Red Dragon will take over the Underworld": my idea or Ddraig's idea?"

Pride likes to take these trivial matters and turn them into spectacles all the time. Do you have any idea how much time he spent thinking on a good quote to say in front of Lucifer's protégés during the monster rampage on the United States before he decided to say "Nice view isn't it"? He spent 2 days!

[I'll say mine: and now, the Great Red Dragon will show you who the true Devil King is!]

"And this is mine: with this, the Great Red Dragon will surge from the bottom of hell and regain what belongs to the true Devil King!"

Wrath told me Pride has become crazier lately, but to drag a Heavenly Dragon into his craziness… I need to answer his questions in a way it won't prolong this stupid discussion any more.

"I think we could take both."

"What do you mean?"

"You can say: and now, the Great Red Dragon will surge from the bottom of hell showing who the true Devil King is!"

[Yeah, I like it; what do you think, partner?]

"It's perfect, thanks little guy."

Pride spoiled me by moving his index on my head like he usually does. He said he saw as a pet, and he always treated me like that, so I wasn't surprised.

Friday

"…"

When I entered Sloth's room, I found him sleeping over his keyboard, with skull-like part of his head being upwards.

I swear this guy spends more time sleeping like that than awake. I flew close to him to see what he was doing on his computer. In that moment, I heard it.

"Come on, little guy! It's surprise training time!"

Greed slammed the door while having Gram on his hand and started pursuing me all over the castle.

I don't know who's crazier, Greed or Pride.

Saturday

I was in front of the castle, looking at the moon together with Envy. Out of all sins, she's the one who is the closet to me.

"Lavender, there's something I need to tell you."

"What is it?"

"I really like you, but-"

"You're breaking up with me?!"

"What? We aren't even dating…"

"Yeah, sorry, it's just that you used the classic line to break up with someone."

There was an awkward silence for a few minutes. I really messed it up. However, it was Envy who decided to speak first.

"In 2 more days, Operation John will be launched. When that day comes, there's no going back to us. If we lose, we'll be imprisoned or even killed; if we win, the Underworld will be led by the true Devil King, the Devil who is also a Red Dragon. It's an extremely important moment for us."

I have heard about this Operation John for some time already. According to Satanael, if the plan succeeds, it will return the world to its natural order.

"Why was it named Operation John?"

This is something that has been annoying me for some time already, so I wanted to know.

"The Book of Revelations."

"Excuse me?"

"Also known as the Apocalypse, it is the final book on the Bible. It records the Judgment Day, leading to the ultimate victory of God's might and the creation of a New Jerusalem for the surviving humans."

Taking into the contents of the plan, the name still doesn't make any sense. How is it the related to that Judgment Day and why John out of all names?

"I think I'm missing something, but why John?"

"Apocalypse 1:4. The author of the book introduces himself as John."

She puts her hand on her head, probably because remembering the Bible causes her a headache. Now I need to know how it relates to that Judgment Day.

"And how does it that relate to our plan?"

"Because of what is said in Apocalypse 12:3. I brought you a copy of the book, you didn't read it?"

"… Yes, I did it. I was just testing you… what did you want to say at the beginning?"

Of course I'm lying. I never read that book, but now that I dumb for not doing it, I think I should.

"I'll go straight to the point. I want you to leave us, Lavender."

Eh? What does she mean by that?

"What do you mean?"

"If we're defeated, you're going to be inside a jail for the rest of your life because of helping us. Even if you aren't with us and we win, you'll be able to enjoy the world we'll create. It is the safest option for you."

Even if I'm not there, the plan can proceed as planned… and if it fails, I'll be able to escape jail if I'm not with them.

"I… don't know what to say. I really wanted to be with you on your big day; after all, you were the ones who gave me a home after I was exiled. And I'm especially grateful to you, who brought me here in the first place."

I remember all the time I have spent with the Seven Sins… wow, there's less good memories than I thought.

"But if you think I'll be safer if I leave, I'm willing to do it."

Envy starts crying after I say that. Thank you for taking care of me more than anyone else.

"In that case… it's time for you to go, if you stay even one more day, Pride will bring you into the decisive battle. I'll miss you, Lavender."

"I'll miss you too… however; I have one last question to ask you."

"What is it?"

"What's your real name? Just in case you go to jail, I want to know the name I'll have to look for to visit you."

Envy looks around; she's making sure Pride (who hates using his real name, so he forbade the other members to use theirs) can't hear us.

"It's Caitlin, I'm sure you know the rest."

"Yes, I do. Goodbye Caitlin, I hope to meet you again some time."

After saying that, I flew towards the sky. Caitlin, the Sin of Envy, I'll never forget you.

Today

"And that's how I got here."

I explained that to a couple of Borrowers, who appear to be on their 20s. I flew all the way towards England and ended resting close here, so when they found me, they brought to their home and asked me how I ended up there.

"That's a really sweet story."

"So, I can stay on your house for a couple of days?"

"Of course, tiny people must help each other. Just remember, you must avoid being seen by the Beans."

And like that, I started living on the house of a Borrower couple until the Operation John happened. However-

"Wait, why do I have to avoid being seen by food?"

The couple laughed at my comment. I don't get what was so funny.
