The Magic Lake Of Salisbury
"the Magic Lake Of Salisbury, located ten miles to the west of Camelot Kingdom, is believed to be the most magically enriched site in all of Britannia. Legend has it that the princess who lives in the lake bestowed a mysterious sword to a human King. I wonder if the Sword is Excalibur?", folding her wings, Lily tilted her head, tapping her finger on her cheek "well, well, well, I know Death and Life Magic Art is my expertise but I never expected to get called by my own older sister who asked me to help her on bringing the dead back to live. However, I'm worried if our power is enough to resurrect her".
"I wonder if the habit of mentioning well thrice that you've inherited from your father actually runs in our family", Nel Hativa rolls her eyes and put her hands on her hip "don't forget, I'm Necromancer and my expertise is Necromancy, Death Magic, Death-Force Manipulation Art etc. that related the dead so we still need your help to stabilize her after we resurrect her".
"that's why we will resurrect her here, where our magic power will reach its highest peak. Neiva has a rather hard time to collect The Lady Of The Lake's request before she could get back Tina's body that has been repaired by The Lady Of The Lake", Merlin nodded to Guinevere "just like The Lady did to her".
"all preparations have completed. What we need to do only to resurrect Tina back to life", Guinevere felt nervous under the scrutinize eyes of three women around her "what is it?".
Merlin shook her head and snapped herself out of whatever trance she had just now "ah, no... sorry, I felt like I've just seen your mother on yourself, with this form of yours".
Nel Hativa hummed as she saw Guinevere in Light form from head to toe, which Guinevere had long straight silver hair with pristine orange and triskelion golden marks, the sign of goddess member clan on her pupils, just like her mother "interesting transformation. At the time like this, I remind of the fact that you are indeed their first daughter".
Lily whistled as she felt such strong magic power of her sister "I wonder if my magic power can reach your power level, ever, older sister".
"maybe it's too late to ask", Tristina lifted her hand "I understand about Lily and Aunties, but should you join them just to resurrect me?".
"hey, to resurrect someone from death is not simple", Guinevere recited the preparations they needed "first of all, to prevent the rejection, we need to use your repaired-but-lifeless body. Maybe we can use other body—".
"—which I can create the artificial body but she's right, better to take less risk", Merlin added "not to mention we have added another artificial heart as your Sacred Treasure that has been planted on your body".
"well, I'm grateful to The Lady Of The Lake and everyone here who helped me. Glad that I can use my own body again rather than having other body, but...", Tristina narrowed her eyes "why do I have feeling that I am your guinea pig now?".
Ignoring her suspicion, Merlin explained, pointing to the beautiful core on the lifeless body's chest "the artificial heart that we made this time is different with Tristan's because it took far longer time to create it. We create it using the crystallization of every element in this world. Light. Darkness. Wind. Earth. Sea. Water. Fire. Thunder. With all elements manifested into an orb that planted into each petals of your artificial heart, we finally can create Fiore, the Elemental Heart. Thanks to the hard works of Neiva, Lily and The Lady Of The Lake who create it and Guinevere who completed the final touch".
"we all do our task. The Lady Of The Lake repaired Tina's body and told us the agents to create the artificial heart, Elemental Heart Fiore, but the one who collected it all was Aunt Neiva and the one who manifested the elements into orbs was Lily. I only arranged it into one and gave the final touch so the artificial heart wouldn't break before you and Aunt Neiva planted it into her body right, godmother?", Guinevere turned to Tristina who floated beside her "but Fiore is not only your Sacred Treasure. It's also your new life, the source of your life that has the function just like your heart. Although I have made turned it to the hard stuff to break, you still have to take a great care of it and be careful, okay?".
Tristina saluted "yes, big sis. Thank you very much for the new life that you all have given to me".
"we haven't resurrected you yet. Save your thanks for after we have resurrected you successfully", Nel Hativa sighed as she carried the body on her hands "still, I was baffled to see how long it took for us to resurrect her. It doesn't take too long, to repair and grow her body or to create the artificial heart".
"long story short, it took so long time for me to decide to go back to the living again, although all the preparations have been completed since a long time ago, because Daddy doesn't allow Aunt Neiva to resurrect me and I'm just not ready yet to live again", Tristina shrugged "I guess we just need to settle everything with Dad after I'm resurrected with our oldest sister's help".
"don't worry, if Guinevere can't do it, I will make him not able to protest", Nel Hativa lifted her thumb after she handed Tristina's body to Lily "it's not like he can be mad too long with us either".
"anyway, this place is really perfect place to resurrect people", after she put Tristina's body that floating on the middle of the Magic Lake, Lily went flying and floating on the north part of the Lake "I can feel my magic power at the highest peak".
"that's why we choose this place to resurrect her. Not to mention, no one around here who can see us doing this ritual right now", using her magic power to levitate herself, Merlin floated to the south part of the Lake "Tina, go and float above your body".
"I just need floating above my body like this as long as the ritual is still on going, right?", Tristina went flying before floating right above her body. Looking down to the so-called her artificial heart that was planted on her chest right above her previous crushed heart as the core of her body with scrutinize eyes, she inspected the beautiful Elemental Heart Fiore that had a shape of flower with eight petals above the tattoo of snowflake on her chest "anoo, maybe it's rather late to ask, but how can I use this Fiore?".
"just like the Philosopher Stone in your brother's artificial heart, it will make you able to use your magic power", Merlin answered "also, just to remind you, because several part of your body could no longer be used after your death, we have no choice but to replace some part with part of another person's body with stronger material, of course"
"okay, it explains about why do my body have bandages covered all over her body. Somehow, it makes me remembered of Frankenstein. Am I the Frankenstein now?", Tristina deadpanned "just don't tell me from who you've got the part of another person's body with this stronger material, okay?".
Lily told the matter of fact "we got it from the littering corpses of my Clan member due to Aunt Neiva and The Lady's request".
Tristina jawdropped "I said I needn't further explanation about it, Lily!".
"back to the business. Remember, we need the catalyst, something to bind her soul back with her body and catalyst to bind her existence with this world", Nel Hativa spread her dark wings and went flying to the west part of the Lake "now, where is the catalyst?".
"here", flapping her wings and flying to the east part of the Lake, Guinevere opened the flask where they had put Elizabeth, Meliodas and Tristan's blood "we will use my parent and Tristan's blood as the catalyst and resurrect her back to live. Let's start, Aunt".
"just recite the same spell that I read", Nel Hativa nodded her head and reached her hand out before she started to recite the magic spell, darkness spreading from her body "O' the soul of young maiden from the realm of the Dead, answer my call".
Merlin closed her eyes and reached out her hand, purple bluish aura emanating from her body "with the eyes that witness the Hell, with the ears that listen to the dead, with the rosebud lips that sing the requiem for the dead, with the smell that inhale the scent of death, with the skin that taste the Purgatory Fire".
Guinevere reached out her hands that glistening in silvery sparks like when her mother or the member of her clan was using Ark "with the soul that pure like the snow and innocence like the newborn baby, with the body that made by steel, with Sword and Shield as your blood and your bones, with the heart made of glass and mind of stone".
Lily lifted both her hands to the side, the blue and green light with yellowish sparkles like the fireflies flying around her body "with the blessing from the Death God, for your soul keeps wandering around the Earth and not able to go to the Heaven or to the Hell, unknown to death nor to living, please accept our call and go back to your body, my sister, the daughter of Demon Meliodas and the Witch Elizabeth Ravenwolf, Tristina Ravenwolf".
Tristina looked down as the Magic Lake started shining before she felt herself as a ghost being pulled back into her body. White and silver light blinded their eyes before the smoke started dissipating. The thunder from the sky struck down the Magic Lake going through Tristina's body on the center and they saw the electric waves running through all around her body. Tristina's finger twitched before her eyes snapped open, revealing a pair of red eyes.
What happened next second was really fast and a shock for them.
Tristina attacked Guinevere's clone, mixing four elements (Fire, Water, Earth and Wind) into one that she used as an arrow that created the gaping hole on Guinevere's clone's torso.
When both Merlin and Nel Hativa quickly went to gather the body of Guinevere's clone, Lily went to confront Tristina, horrified "Tina! what are you doing?".
Lily felt chilling when Lily saw Tristina smiling innocently to her instead, just like a child who just play with their broken doll.
"Lily, move aside", as her body falling upside down to the Magic Lake, Guinevere's clone reached her hands out and aimed to her awakened sister "Let There Be Light".
After Guinevere launched her Light, Tristina hugged herself before the ominous miasma emanating out of her body as she screamed in pain. Nel Hativa caught the body of Guinevere's clone but the clone told her with a smile to just throw her body to the Magic Lake. Even if not knowing why did she ask her to do it, Nel Hativa did so after Merlin told her to do what she suggested. After Guinevere's clone fell and sunk into the Magic Lake, there was the explosion of magic power from the lake as the clone's body vanished in the Magic Lake and the tremendous earthquake happened. Lily, Nel Hativa, Merlin and Tristina barely felt the effect of the earthquake since they were still flying above the Magic Lake. Once the earthquake stopped, Tristina spread a pair of silver wings before leaving this place, flying full-speed to certain place.
Merlin turned to her sister "do you think where would she go?".
"looking for Tristan, perhaps? They're twin, after all", Nel Hativa shrugged "normally, the dead who just awakened from the dead would seek for the source of their deepest regret or find something that related with the catalyst. In this case, I bet 100% she would go to find her twin and her parent".
"oh, no", knowing to where Tristina would go, Lily spread her wings, flapping her wings before flying "Aunt Neiva, please go back to Camelot Kingdom with Aunt Merlin to check on my older sister!".
Nel Hativa asked "and what are you gonna do?".
Lily pointed to where Tristina had fled "to catch her, obviously! Somehow, I have a bad feeling about this".
Merlin remarked "why? It's not like she's gonna do something to kill her twin brother".
Lily narrowed her eyes in disbelief "you have seen it yourself, she attacked older sister Gwen".
"don't you see it? She was crying", Nel Hativa folded her wings back into her body "she was flying on the sky with tears on her eyes, as if searching for someone who can save her, or should I say, just like a lost child who crying as she looking for her parent after getting lost in the darkness".
"I have to find her sooner even more now", Lily said with burning resolve on her eyes "I can't afford to leave a lost kid alone".
Merlin threw Communication Orb to Lily "just call her if you need help. I will send Neiva there to help you".
Lily thanked her as she caught the Communication Orb "will do. Thank you, Aunt".
After Lily left too, Nel Hativa quirked smile "she's just like her mother, heh? Lily, I mean. She's really lovely".
Merlin's Orb was ringing, the sign from Camelot Kingdom "something must be happened to Gwen. We have to go back to Camelot, now".
After Merlin and Nel Hativa left, a russian blue cat with golden eyes came out of the bushes "well, when that Sorceress mentioned no one around here who witnessed their ritual, she wasn't exactly right, nyan~ just barely, nyan~ That was close. Like what happened on Cameliard Kingdom, looks like the tremendous earthquake happened where the strongest shock was happened on here and Camelot Kingdom after her clone was killed by her awakened sister, princess".
The voice came from the Magic Lake Of Salisbury "this is not the time for her to be awakened, not yet. She just barely entered her new stage. I am waiting for the day of your awakening, King Of Chaos and Queen Of Chaos. For now, just go to her side and watch over her, Neko Chaos".
Casually washing its face, the golden-eyed russian blue cat walked away "as you wish, princess. Here I go, nyan~".
Ordan Forest, East Of Vaizel
"...Tristan...older brother...".
Tristan gasped and jerked his head backward, jolted awake, panting "...Tina?".
"next time, please wake up with more normal way", Lancelot deadpanned "you shocked me here, you know?".
Tristan sat, clenching-unclenching her hand before thinking how light and good his body felt. Looking to his brother, Tristan trailed off "...you did it again?".
"last night, yes. You're welcome~", Lancelot smirked, leaning his head on his palm "and don't worry, it's only Dad and your wife who knew it".
"...okay, thank you very much, brother", Tristan threw his sweats-soaked pajamas before went to clean himself up on the bathroom. Much to his relief, Isolde didn't wake up even after he changed his clothes with the new ones, probably too exhausted of nurse him and watch over him over night. Carrying her and settling her to the bed, Tristan smiled fondly as he looked down to her. Pulling up the blanket to cover her body and leaning down, Tristan kissed her on the forehead "thank you".
"just get married with her again already~", Lancelot whistled but when he didn't earn his usual reaction, Lancelot knew something wasn't right "Triss? Everything's okay?".
Touching her forehead, Tristan looked behind over his shoulder. He realized when he kissed her "no, she's having fever. Ask the others to prepare the dry rags and cool water to compress her".
"no need, my body's temperature has been high like this lately. I'm not having fever", Isolde sat up and grabbed Tristan's wrist, looking up to him "...are you okay?".
Rolling his eyes, Tristan gently pushed her back to bed "Isolde, I'm fine now. You should rest".
"Sir Cain will depart. I don't want to make him worried", Isolde got off of the bed "I want to see him off".
Tristan twitched his eyebrow up and down "you stubborn woman... fine, but you have to rest after you see him off".
Lancelot scoffed "yeah, stubborn just like someone".
With a vein popping on his head, Tristan smacked him "shut up, brat".
When they went downstairs, Meliodas was the first to check on Tristan "good, you've fully recovered, it seems".
"are you sure, you've fully recovered?", Elizabeth touched Tristan's forehead and hummed in approval "thankfully, your fever has broken".
"I'm fine already, really", Tristan laughed awkwardly and apologized for making them all worried. He winked to Isolde "thanks to a great Healer here".
Isolde hummed and blushed, cupping her cheek "no problem at all".
They parked the Boar Hat on the outskirt and they parted their way with Cain who would continue his journey (once he made sure Tristan and everyone would be okay). Once they were sure that Cain had out of sight, Isolde sunk, kneeling to the ground.
Holding her hand, Tristan touched her forehead and her temperature felt far higher than before. Cursing himself inwardly, Tristan carried her and made a mad dash back to the tavern, reprimanding "told you, you should rest! Still telling me that you don't have a fever, huh?".
After Lancelot explained what happened, everyone rushed back to the tavern for nursing her.
"you've fully recovered but now Isolde is having fever?", Meliodas crossed his thumb and forefinger on his chin with sly look "are you sure, you don't just infect her? like with... through mouth-to-mouth~".
"don't make her fever higher, old man", Tristan reprimanded when Isolde buried her bright red face under the blanket, it looked as if steams came out of her face "speaking of which, where are we?".
The reason of why they went here from the first place, it was because of Gowther unusually asked the Captain to drop by here. It was unusual for Gowther to take the initiative to do something so they might pass by there in their journey back to Liones Castle. They decided to refill their provisions and buy their necessity on the nearby village. However, this morning they were gonna facing something unexpected. After making sure Isolde would just sleep in this room with Elizabeth and Veronica (with Griamore stayed close nearby as the bodyguard), they dispersed to several teams. Gowther, Lancelot and Morgan would go to the village to buy the provisions. Hawk, Diane and Tristan would stay in the Boar Hat to watch guard. Meliodas, Ban and King would go to the woods for hunting.
When Lancelot went back with several kids who playing to be 'Seven Deadly Sins', Tristan tilted his head "...your kids with Lady Morgan?".
"ha-ha, very funny", Lancelot rolled his eyes as two kids hanging on his hands "well, not that I'd mind, of course, to have kids with her".
Morgan's face turned bright red with steams came out of her face like Isolde was. Deep down in her heart, she wouldn't mind at all, either. Surprisingly, the boss of this kids, Pelio yelled about how dare they committed the Sin with build the tavern here without their permission as the latest group (Meliodas, Ban and King) were back with the result of their hunting.
Feeling irritated by the loud noisy outside, Veronica opened the window wide and yelled back "just stop being noisy, kids! You're gonna wake up the sick girl! Think about people around you, you egoist brat!".
Pelio and the other kids saluted in fright "EEK! We apologize, ma'am!".
Isolde peeked her head through the gap of the window, looking to outside with drowsy eyes and flushed cheeks "...kids?".
Elizabeth wrapped her arms around her waist, pulling her "Isolde, just sleep! Your fever is still high!".
"listen to her!", Veronica shook her head "geez, although you're the oldest between the three of us, I'm feeling like having another little sister, having to take care of you like this".
Not feeling pleased to get ordered or scolded by these women who younger than her, Isolde pursed her lips "Vero, Ellie, you two are clearly younger than me...".
"it can't be helped, I guess", Tristan sighed "princesses, hold her down, I will recite the spell so she can sleep".
Meliodas looked up with questioning looks "I don't know you have that kind of spell?".
"well, just see", Tristan grinned broadly before using his magic power to levitate. Ignoring loud cheers from the kids below who begging for him to take them to fly, Tristan touched Isolde's chin before he kissed her forehead "time to go to sleep, good night".
Elizabeth, blushing furiously, caught Isolde who collapsed unconscious backward with red face "wuah! Lady Isolde!".
Looking down to her happy and embarrassed expression as she lost consciousness, Veronica couldn't protest to him but she still stared to him in despise "...nice trick. Just don't do it to my sister, 'kay?".
"you should have told that to Sir Meliodas and not me, princess", Tristan shrugged before snapping his fingers to levitate Isolde's body. After he made sure Isolde was sleeping soundly on her bed with blanket covering her body, Tristan landed on the ground "and why are you staring to me like this?".
Meliodas lifted his thumb "nice spell. Perhaps I have to try it sometimes".
"with whom, Cap'n?~".
Hawk huffed "oi! Just don't do it to Elizabeth, got it?".
Pelio and the gang who kept begging to Tristan, asking him to carry them to feel how it felt to fly on the sky, turning to Hawk with sparkles of joy and excitement in their eyes before they lunged into their new subject of interest "talking pig!".
Ignoring Hawk's squeals in distress, Tristan sighed in relief "I'm saved thanks to Sir Piggy".
"back to business, Triss", Lancelot pulled out his Arondight, pointing it to Tristan "your answer?".
"just tell her that she's too worrywart, needn't to worry because I will finish my mission no matter what and I will go back to Camelot with Isolde. She really should stop her bad habit to stalking on her people accompanied by her lover, to see through people's heart and interfere on another people's privacy", Tristan pulled out the sword and lifted the sword forward. The tip of his sword was shining with silver sparkles before that sparkles hit the tree nearby, successfully slashed the tree along with the boulders behind it into two. Putting the sword back into its sheath, he turned back with lopsided grin to the shocked and jaw-dropped spectators "and please tell her, thank you for the Sword, it's not bad at all".
King waved his finger up and down "you're overdoing it just to test the sword!".
Diane scolded him for using his power too much "he's right! You've not fully healed yet!".
"well, sorry. I haven't done it for a long time so I'm not quite used to use the sword again, just not yet. For your statement previously, Lady Diane, I've fully recovered", Tristan waved it off as nothing before turning to Lancelot and Morgan "speaking of which, for how long you two will stay here?".
Morgan and Lancelot exchanged glances before they explained that when they were in the village, the princess called them with Communication Orb and told them to stay with Meliodas' group after asking if Isolde was alright.
Lancelot tucked his hands behind his head "so yeah, we have one more day here! We will go back to Camelot tomorrow".
Suddenly, they heard the rumbles from the mountain. Pelio explained that roar started a few years ago. The people in the village thought it was the voice of the Mountain God that lived in the Ordan mountains because ever since the so-called Mountain God started living here, the dangerous wolves and bears all ran away. Seven Deadly Sins' members here, Tristan, Lancelot and Morgan could feel the strong magic power emanating from the mountains that felt most likely from several Holy Knights. Not too long after that, a villager came to tell the kids to just go back home and they couldn't go into the forest because of what they received from the messenger of the Kingdom just now, it looked like the Holy Knights and Knight groups were commencing a huge manhunt in the mountains. They couldn't go to the woods because what they were after an incredibly evil criminal.
King, Ban, Meliodas, Diane, Gowther and Tristan opened the urgent, secret discussion.
King cupped the side of his mouth "could we be the incredibly evil criminal?".
Meliodas innocently rolled his eyes "it has to be".
Ban clicked his tongue "so annoying, they found our location already?~".
"first off, I think we have to usher these kids to go back home", Tristan lifted his thumb, pointing to the couple behind them "we can ask Lady Morgan and Lancelot to bring them back to the village. I don't want to make these kids get involved in case we have to fight".
"I agree with him", Diane giggled and smiled to Tristan "it's just like what Isolde said, you're so kind, Tristan".
Tristan lifted his hand when he earning the pointed glare from King "no, I think it's just annoying if we have to protect them when we fight against the Holy Knights".
Gowther agreed with him "he has the point".
"I don't want to make Lancelot and Morgan get involved, either. They came here without knowing what we have to face. Our problem with Holy Knights and Liones Kingdom is ours, not theirs", Meliodas gained approval nods from the others before turning back to Lancelot and Morgan "we can use Tristan's idea, but... wait, where are those kids?".
Lancelot and Morgan also didn't pay attention to the kids because they kept looking to the groups and as the couple turned, they also just realized that these kids had disappeared.
"Captain, sorry to interrupt", Gowther waved his hand to the group who discussing about to where the kids go and hopefully they wouldn't find the kids going to the mountain "but your Junior has gone to the woods".
"wha— the idiot! He's just freshly-recovered!", Meliodas groaned before he ordered Diane to house-sitting while he, King and Ban would go to the woods "Lancelot, just stay here with Lady Morgan. Help Diane to protect everyone here and don't go to the woods no matter what, got it?".
" got it, Dad", Lancelot saluted, waving his hands to the group "be careful".
"wait, Sir Meliodas!", Elizabeth called from the window. She couldn't stop them to fight, so what she could do only to convince him, She threw the sword that Lancelot had entrusted to him "take this!".
Meliodas caught the sword that Liz once wanted to give to him but he declined to accept it "this sword is...".
"what Liz wanted for you, was not for you to keep on fighting but for you to keep on living! I'm the same! For you and your fight for the people, if you think of it as a Sin... I will share whatever Sins you shoulder!", Elizabeth lifted her hands. With resolve and iron-clad conviction on her eyes, she asked him "that's why you have to live and come back safely, if not for me, then for your child and our comrades!".
"does it the love confession?", Gowther tilted his head to the right and left "is the princess in love with the Captain?".
King waved his hand frantically "wuah! I-i-i-Idiot!".
Ban sweatsdropped with eyes slightly widened "this is really bad~".
Turning his body, King lifted his hand and offered nervous smile "ca... calm down, Diane!".
Ban turned his head with lopsided smirk "just don't destroy the village, okay?~".
Only to find Morgan covered Diane's ears and Lancelot covered Diane's eyes.
Diane (remember, her body was shrunken thanks to Merlin's special medicine) was clearly baffled and asked "Lady Morgan, Lancelot, why do you cover my eyes and my ears? What happened?".
Morgan said with all seriousness "for your sanity, Lady, please be patient".
Lancelot nodded his head furiously "yeah, this is needed for the sake of the village, otherwise the village will be destroyed".
After Ban and King dropped to the ground, Gowther clapped his hands as Meliodas lifted his thumb to the couple "nice save, kids".
Once Lancelot and Morgan released her, Diane turned to them, baffled "something's happened?".
Ban and King waved their hands "nope nope nope".
Lancelot very cleverly directed the conversation, pointing to the woods "whatever, but shouldn't you go to follow Triss right away? Somehow, he has a magnet to invite the trouble coming right to him, that troublemaker".
"oh, right", Meliodas facepalmed before telling his comrades to go "let's go, Ban, King, Gowther!".
Not too long after Meliodas went with Ban, King and Gowther to the woods, Elizabeth sighed in relief but it looked like she had forgotten about something?
"Ellie", Veronica smiled darkly with dark aura surroundings her, earning Elizabeth's flinch "we have a LOT to talk".
Griamore gaped in awe to Elizabeth, thinking just if he could be that bold with princess Veronica "...I don't know she can be this bold".
Elizabeth lifted her hands and laughed awkwardly with slightly flushed cheeks "um, big sister Veronica, we can't be too loud, otherwise we will wake up Lady Isolde...".
When Griamore, Veronica and Elizabeth turned to the bed, they were shocked to find the bed was empty and they looked around but not find her anywhere in this room, only the other window of this room was opened (that Griamore had pointed) and they suspected Isolde had gone through the window to outside.
"where the hell she's gone!?", Veronica looked around the window before going to the other window to tell the group outside "Diane, Morgan, where is Lancelot? Isolde's gone!".
Morgan lifted her forefinger to the woods "he said he wanted to take a peek before going somewhere to check because he said he found someone's shadow".
In the end, Elizabeth and Veronica told Griamore and Diane that they were going to the woods to find Isolde. Morgan persisted to go with them too, because she wanted to find Lancelot before the five of them went to the woods, where the fight had been going on. When they arrived there, they found all members of the Dawn Roar and the Armor Giant were tied with the golden chains that came out of the portals on the sky and the huge tree nearby. Two people with wings on their back, a white-haired woman with black veil covering her entire face sitting on that huge tree and the other was a kid with the same size with King who fought against King.
There was the darkness cocoon-like near Ban and Gowther who seemed too distracted by whatever inside darkness-cocoon-like and too confused of what should they do as they turned their heads to watch four scenes :
The Dawn Roar and Armor Giant were tied-down by golden chains.
King with another kid's fight.
The darkness cocoon-like.
Last, Meliodas fought against Nel Hativa.
Once they got closer to them, only then they realized that Isolde and Lancelot were there too, near the darkness cocoon-like. They didn't find Tristan anywhere nearby, though. Just like her old-self, Isolde had a pair of wings on her back. She reached out her hands where blue and dark fire wrapping around her hand but Lancelot grabbed her wrist, shaking his head in disapproval. Isolde lowered her hand after Lancelot told her something, then Lancelot walked further to get closer several inches with the darkness-cocoon-like.
"The Lady Of The Lake, allow me to use it", Lancelot lifted his Arondight in front of his face upright, his eyes that turned into gold. Blue and green light with silvery yellowish sparkles emanating from his body and his sword as Lancelot's eyes were gleaming in gold and silver "answer my call and show yourself, Alicorn".
