Chapter 6.5: A Message in Dreams

Once Meliodas saw Elizabeth go upstairs, he told Hawk's Mom to continue on their path to Liones. He then went inside and up to his room, but not before pausing to peer inside Elizabeth's room.

She was sound asleep, by the looks of it. Her mouth was slightly upturned, which made him smile.

Wonder what she is dreaming about.

He gave a cocky smile, and scooped her up off her bed.

Whatever it is, when she wakes up… she'll get a surprise.

She awoke (?) to the sound of cheers. She couldn't figure out where she is, as her surroundings were a bit blurry. However, she did see that she was in another kingdom. Not Adarlan.

"Long live the Queen and King of Liones!" She heard those shouts everywhere. Trying to speak, she found she couldn't form any words. Maybe this was something that happened in dreams. If this is one… Her surroundings suddenly cleared then.

She was on a balcony overlooking the huge crowd that had formed in the castle (assuming this was a castle) courtyard. She became aware that she was in someone's arms. That must be why she can't talk. She's a baby right now.

Glancing upward, all she saw were two blurred faces, looking out at the crowd. Who were they? One was a woman, that was the one holding her. Must be her mother.

The other must be her father, then. He was shorter, but she couldn't make out any of his features because of the blur. Odd, how she couldn't remember her parents. She could remember her adoptive parents, of course. The King and Queen of Adarlan. But her true parents? She doesn't remember a thing.

Suddenly, the sky turned from blue to a deep purple, almost black. What was going on? Then she saw many figures coming towards her. She could only receive bits and pieces of their personal features, since there were so many of them, but she could see some. One had pink hair, and another golden. Many had silver hair. They all had the same eyes though, one aqua and one red with the goddess insignia.

The group parted to reveal a woman with long, silver hair and four goddess wings.

"Shh, child, we are not here to harm you. In fact, we need you." Her voice was like silk, and she felt relaxed when she heard it.

That's when she noticed that the world was frozen. Everything around her was still, as if time had completely stopped. Even her parents were frozen in place.

Her mouth moved, forming words that she automatically said. "What do you need me for?"

The woman spread her arms. "We need you to save us, and one we care about. Can you do that for us?"

She glanced at her still parents, and looked back at the woman. "Okay."

The woman smiled. "Thank you. We will send you to their world. Don't worry about finding them, they will find you soon enough. Also, you may not know this, but in the time that your world has been frozen, 18 years have passed in the world we are sending to you. When you leave, you will automatically be changed into the appropriate age. Are you ready?"

She didn't get much of what the woman said, but she replied. "I am."

"Then go save our world, Elizabeth." A flash of white, and her world went dark.

Sup.

So I got a review from Ansy saying that, "Why is Mead still young if 18 years must have passed? If Elizabeth is 18, then it would have been 18 years since the previous one died." Well, this little chapter presents some info.

I'm wondering what you'll think once you find out exactly what happened, and this little bit of Elizabeth's past was never meant to be out until way later in the story. After some hard thinking however, I decided that it would be best, for your sanity and mine, to give at least some information to grasp as you read.

Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for the next chapter!
