Aubrey's pov
I woke up on the hard ground. I have a slowly fading headache and it seemed my makeup was gone. My bones hurt, and my body felt stiff, but I managed to prop myself up with my hands. I look around at my surroundings. The vibrant colour stung my eyes as I blinked in quick succession. My head felt a bit hazy from the mild headache I had but I can still remember what happened, I guess I have no choice but to be on my guard like Elizabeth suggested.
That's right, that familiar lady. She claimed to be my godmother. I feel inclined to believe her, she was the one to explain various things to me. Although it was her husband who attacked my parents. My parents, I held in the tears that threatened to spill again.
I heard a slight rustle from behind me and looked back in shock. A large Knight covered in armour stepped out from the trees and brushing and into the clearing I was sat in. As I had turned to face him, I shuffled back until I was up against a tree. It turned its body to face me, it cast a large shadow and I prepared to fight it.
"Seven... Deadly... Sins..." It said with a deep sounding voice. My mind raced, what were these seven deadly sins it spoke of? What creature could possibly be inside of the armour? As I concentrated, two lush green vines burst from the ground and shot toward the Knight. It fell backward in surprise, ignoring the feeling of being mocked I had the vines remove the helmet of the creature.
What I saw was not a creature but a human, one with great power locked inside of them no less. The girl looked shocked and then suddenly tried to hide her face. I looked at her confused, why is she covering her face? "Why would you cover your face if I've already seen it?" I asked her.
"What, don't you recognise me?" She said back in a quizzical tone of voice. I asked her why I would recognise her, and she just said, 'never mind'. Why would this lady be travelling around in that clunky armour anyway, also who are these seven deadly sins?
"What are the seven deadly sins?"
She stared at me with raised eyebrows in shock once again as though I had not asked a perfectly normal question. Could they really be so well known in this world as it would make it weird not to know who they are. I looked back at her dead in the eyes, I let my serious expression do the talking.
She sighed. "The seven deadly sins are ex holy nights for betraying my home the kingdom of Liones, although now they are the only hope of restoring order to my- the kingdom."
"So, you're trying to find them to save the kingdom, aren't you a bit... Weak to be finding people revered as strong. You also seem a bit trusting, also you haven't even introduced yourself yet." I looked her in the eyes as I said all this, I didn't really want to be mean, but I wouldn't want someone like her getting hurt.
"I'm the only one who is willing to sacrifice myself for the cause!" She paused. "What is the point of waiting for someone, when I can just do it myself."
I felt like she was the kind of person that needs protecting, I feel like her presence has been on this version of earth for a lot longer than I've been around. "Then um, perhaps would you mind if I joined you? Not to be rude but I think you could do with the help, not that I'm very good in battle."
She looked at me and teared up a little, "really?" she asked as though I would turn around and laugh at her. I nodded. By now, I just managed to notice, she was out of the armour and was hugging me. I hugged back and felt her tears soaking my jumper. I hope it doesn't get cold, I always wear shorts when I don't plan on leaving the house. Come to think of it I'm not wearing any shoes or socks. I feel really underdressed now.
I hugged the girl, who identified herself as Elizabeth while she was crying in my arms. I kind of want her to stop, I know I'm being nice and all, but I don't think I deserve this. I guess I've got to live here now, so I might as well find someone to hang around with. I don't know anything about this world, just about anyone could take advantage of me. What a scary thought.
Elizabeth stood and wiped her tears on her, revealing to say the least clothes. I forced the blush crawling up my face down and just smiled at her. She looked at me. "I was thinking of heading toward a pub around here called the boar's hat."
"Sounds good." I stated.
Elizabeth and I walked in the direction that this boar's hat place was supposed to be, I have my doubts about this, but Elizabeth seems to think she will find out everything she needs. Elizabeth is such a hopeful soul, I could never raise my attacks against her or intentionally harm her anymore because she just gives off such a nice air of innocence. I hope she is doing okay in her clunky armour, I don't think I could manage in there. Her will is incredible, she is completely committed to helping her kingdom.
We walk oblong the grass, this world has a lot more nature and so much more magic than my earth. My powers have been amplified and honestly, I'm scared of what might happen, I've heard of people's powers acting out on their own when there is an unexpected increase in magic. I shall just have to hope I get used to it as soon as possible. The earth does occasionally shake a little bit below my feet but it's nothing harmful now. My plant magic is not acting up because its primary function is to heal other and my reserves for plant is a lot smaller than that for my earth magic.
I see a building up in the distance and confirm with Elizabeth that it is indeed the boar's hat. I'm worried about Elizabeth, unlike elves humans must eat more than once a day, I only met her on the last days of travel. She hasn't eaten in a while, we managed to stop for a drink, but she is growing weak.
We approach closer to the building and Elizabeth looked quite ill. No matter how many times I asked she refused to take the suit off, there isn't very much I can do for her in there, so I just hope she turns out okay. I walk behind Elizabeth and she enters the door and topples over.
"Elizabeth!" I run in the room and call her name, as I kneel to inspect what happened to her people run out of the boar's hat in fear. It looks like she just needs some rest and something to eat, other than that she should be fine, I breathe a sigh of relief and drag her out of the armour.
I look up to see a blonde boy and a... pig? The blonde boy is as old as the girl and I'm starting to get suspicious about the people here. The blonde boy looks at me curiously as though I look weird to him. However, there's no point hiding my elf roots from a demon. I don't think elves exist in any world other than my own. "Who are you two?" The blonde boy asks.
"I'm Aubrey and this is Elizabeth." I haven't really slept much in this past few days nor have I eaten much either, so I hope I get to sleep soon. I'm prone to sleeping long periods of time so I might as well wait for Elizabeth to be safe first.
"Ah, I'm Meliodas and this pig is Hawk." Meliodas helps me carry Elizabeth to a room with a bed and I let her rest while Meliodas turns toward me. "You're a lot more powerful than you seem, who are you- what are you?"
"I'm and elf, a hybrid between the earth tribe and the plant tribe. Where I was born, I would have been killed as well as my parents to set an example for others. Except my parents implored the help of my godmother to escape to another world." I realise I am rambling, I blush a little bit from embarrassment.
Meliodas looks confused, then I realise. They probably don't have any idea what any of the stuff I mentioned is. I just sit on the floor and stare up at Meliodas. This probably looks weird, but I don't care, I am going to sleep now, on the floor.
I pass out.
