Gowther crouched onto the ground to feel the marks.
"Well?" Elizabeth questioned anxiously.
He looked up at the frantic girl, eyes filled with anticipation. An emotion he could never come to understand.
"There is a risk. But I might be able to track whatever happened here."
Merlin looked to Elizabeth, "Gowther has been testing the limits of his powers, if we can find a sample from the time the incident happened, he can look into the past and track it."
Hawk looked to Merlin. "So your saying we just have to find a hair or finger print? If it's that easy, why not use the scorch marks? There's bound to be a connection."
"Unless they have magic fused into them, It's basically useless." Merlin replied.
"Can you try..?" Elizabeth asked hopefully.
Merlin looked at her. "I could, but there's no guaranteeing it will work. So don't get your hopes up."
"But what do you think happened to cause these burns? He could have been taken, but If he went down, it wouldn't be because of a human."
Gowther said emotionlessly. Merlin had started to walk towards the barrels of beer.
"And if it was just an accident, he would have tried to repair it. Or just left us a note telling us where he's going."
Elizabeth looked worried. "A-are you implying that something.. inhuman... was here?"
Gowther started to talk. "Meliodas isn't human. Neither is King, or Me, or-"
Merlin cut him off. "We could be getting worried for nothing. Me and Gowther will test the marks for magic."
"What about us?" The pig asked, slightly annoyed and feeling left out in a way. (Probably because of the.. 'pole' incident earlier.)
Merlin glared at the pig. "I'm getting there."
"Meanwhile, you two go anyone around town if anyone has seen Meliodas recently."
They both had nodded and headed out the door, while Merlin and Gowther got to work.
Zeldris POV -
"He's taking forever! What is Estrossa doing to in there?" Zeldris said, annoyed by the wait. He had black hair spiked to the side, with the same build and facial
features as Meliodas.
He had the same demon marking as Meliodas, though it was above his left eye instead of his right. He also carried a short sword on the belt around his waist.
Estrossa had come home with Meliodas, using a bell infused with darkness to get him there. He had taken him into a cave to turn him back to how he used to be.
And had told the other demons to wait outside.
It'd been an hour since they disappeared into the cave. Zeldris was getting worried. He'd never admit it, though.
Derrierie glared at her impatient brother. "Taking it from the ass, Don't fucking rush him."
Derrierie had long, scruffy blonde hair. She wore no clothes, instead she used her own darkness to cover her breast and waist area.
She had a demonic marking on her left cheek, which represents a beasts' open mouth with a ball in the middle. While also strongly resembling Meliodas.
Monspiet looked at her, "I want Estrossa to do the job right. If he rushes, Meliodas won't be the brother we know. Instead he'll be some mushy little shit afraid of
killing humans. So shut the fuck up, Zeldris."
He paused for a second. "Correct?" Derrierie nodded. Monspiet was a tall man with dark purple hair and a small mustache. Unlike the other demons-
(Besides Meliodas)
-His demon markings were on the right side of his face consisting of three lines. The outer two curving outward. He wore a cloak in which covered most of his body.
Underneath the cloak he was shirtless, with Jet black matter covering his arms and torso. He was also very muscular, and stood on the tips of his toes.
Just then, Meliodas and Estrossa came out. Meliodas wore two armored gloves, and had no shirt on. Half his chest was covered in jet black markings.
He had black pants and a red glowing bell hanging from a silver chain attached to them. He also had jet black eyes and his demonic marking above his right eye.
"Damn it! I feel like I've been asleep for three thousand years." He declared as he stretched his arms out. Derrierie smiled. Her brother was back.
Zeldris was relived. Most of the clan was. But Galan had his suspicions. (It was probably because he got his ass whooped.) But decided to wait rather than act.
Meliodas looked at the clan. "Now, from what I understand, I sided with...Humans?" By The way "Humans" came out, anyone could tell, he was disgusted.
Estrossa frowned as he spoke up. "They tricked you. The Demon Lord informed us." The other Demons could feel bloodlust start coming out from Meliodas.
It would be overwhelming for any normal human. He then sighed, and calmed down. Meliodas looked to Derrierie. "I'm hungry."
She smiled. "Taking it from the ass, Massacre?" Which to Meliodas and The rest of the clan, translated to, "Want to get something to eat? It'll be fun." Meliodas
nodded. Derrierie and Meliodas took off to go create a massacre, while devouring human souls. Galan watched them go. His suspicions of Meliodas faded.
Galan sighed, "So you've finally come back to us, Meliodas."
