Hey everyone! I'm sorry that I missed last week's update. I was watching the new episodes of Seven Deadly Sins on Netflix. The latest season is by far my favorite and most hated out of all of them.
Thank you so much Silver and Silver Iron-Script for the wonderful comments as always!
I also have punctuation again for the time being! Yay!
On with the story!
A large tikmark appeared on the Fairy King's face, "I know you're saying that on purpose." "Look kid, I'm not in the mood to entertain you," Ban said. "I hate to interrupt, but we need to go under invisibility," Silva stated. "Spirit Spear Zulfiqar Form 3, 3rd configuration: Invisibility!" There was a flash of orange, but other than that, it seemed like nothing happened. "I don't think it worked 'cause I can still see you. Better luck next time." the fox sin deadpanned. Now a tikmark was appearing on Silva's face as well. She turned to King. "Is he always this...What's the word I'm looking for?...annoying?" "Yes, unfortunately." King replied. "Hey! Did you forget I'm standing right here?" Ban asked. "No," the two fairies answered simultaneously.
"Well, to clear something up and enlighten your puny mind, fox sin, the reason you can see me is because we're all under the mask of invisibility together. Everything looks normal to us, but we virtually do not exist outside this "bubble". Spirit Spear Zulfiqar doesn't have as many forms as normal spirit spears. It only has six. To make up for the lack of forms, Form three has three different configurations. The first configuration is shield: this form can block attacks, physical objects, and things like that. The second configuration can be used to block things that could get into the mind, people from reading hearts, things like that. This configuration is particularly handy due to the fact I can make the effects permanent. The third configuration is this:" Silva lifted her hand and waved it around, "Invisibility." Then Silva realized her speech had been in vain, because Ban wasn't even llistening but instead lounging on the ground, eyes closed.
Ban, realizing the chatter had ceased, opened his eyes and looked up. "Oh, good you're done talking. I'm gonna go now because I don't really care about you guys. Can't say it was nice meeting ya."
"Wait!" King called out. "Even though I thought you would have put in a little effort at least remembering me, it's not like I really care. What's important is the reason you're here. You've come for Elaine, haven't you?" In that instant, an image of a fairy that looked strangely similar to the boy standing in front of Ban crossed the fox sin's mind. He pushed it aside, though, and instead said, "Listen I don't know you and I have no idea what you're talking about, happy with that explanation?"
King stiffened, then clenched his fists. "Is that how it is?! You just ditch her?!" One quick movement, and it's a nostalgic scene. Ban was covered in his own blood, Chasteifol lodged in his body. The Grizzly sin of Sloth leaned forward and said, "You really are lower than dirt." Obviously, though, instead of dying, Ban looked up and said, "So you really want to play this game?" Surprised, King pulled Chastiefol back, to reveal Ban, now completely healed. "How?..." This time, it was Silva's turn to lean in, whispering something in King's ear. He turned to her. "Are you sure that was his heart?" he asked. "Positive," she replied.
King then turned to face Ban again. "Sorry about this misunderstanding." "That's an understatement." Ban said. King ignored Ban's reply and asked, "I know you know where Diane, the Captain, and Elizabeth are. Can you please take me to them?" Ban paused, detecting truth in King's statement, he said, "First explain how you know me. Then we'll see."
Timeskip
Two fairies and a human walked up to a bar. Before they could go in the door burst open to reveal a certain blonde demon. "Hey! Why'd you run off like that Ban?" He was shoved aside to reveal a very angry Diane. "Ban I outta-"
King stepped into view. It was nothing but tears and hugs and confimations of reality between Diane and King. When the initial surprise died down, Elizabeth said hello like a normal person. Meliodas, on the other hand, yelled "Good to see ya!" and slapped King on the back so hard the poor guy fell over into the dirt. It was all smiles, laughter, and catching up the rest of the night.
Thanks for reading! I have a bonus scene down below!
The elephant in the room was finally addressed. There were some unknown faces standing awkwardly off to the side. "Right!" Meliodas clapped his hands together, "Introductions!" He nudged Hzel and said, "You go first."
"Really? Okay, well, I'm Hazel, first princess of Liones and hated/wanted by pretty much the whole kingdom!" Someone from the back of the room (It was hard to tell who it was.) said, "Way to deadpan one of the most depressing sentences ever!" "Who said that?" Hazel yelled. "Nobody!" Hazel got her anger under control after a few seconds. "Sorry for that. The boy can talk now." Now it was Silva's turn to get mad. "For your information I'm a girl!" "Geez, sorry!" "Anyway, my name's Silva."
Most likely everyone reading: We want a backstory!
Silva: Fine!
"Right before the sacred tree in the fairy realm was destroyed 2,000 years ago, it made a final wish, and I was born from the tree. Not as a fairy king, but as a protector of sorts. A regent to some degree. The sacred tree granted me a sprit spear and fully grown-in wings to completely draw out the spear's power. I had instructions placed in my head: to save the fairy kings of old. Once I comprehended all of this, I realizaed the tree had taken it's last breath. I was all alone. It's been 2,000 years and my mission is finally complete, and now I've given myself a new mission: to never leave my allies' sides."
