We approach NightFall Island. Just like its name seems appropriate this island is eternally night. When we finally get to the doc it seems like a very Lively town. The people seem to have adapted to the fact that it's eternally night. " why hello there Travelers what brings you to Nightfall Island. Where are my manners? I rule over this island. My name is Meliodas. And this is Elizabeth. I would like to stay and chat but I have some business I need to attend to. But please enjoy your stay and don't cause any trouble. Oh and if you hear stories of vampires they're very true. She has been ravishing this town for the last 300 years" Meliodas says as he starts to walk away.

KuroShiro looks over at the rest of the crew with a scared look on his face " Vampires… d-did he say vampires. Why do we never go anywhere nice? First we go either with our gargoyles. Then we went to an island and we were forced to train for a year. Can we just go somewhere nice for once. I hope this vampire doesn't like to suck mink blood". He grabs hold of Viper and starts rubbing up against Viper as all miks do.

"Oh come on don't be a coward. Besides I can't place my finger on it but I get a bad vibe from that meliodas dude. I feel like he's not telling us the full truth. There's got to be more to the story he didn't tell. Before we make any assumptions that this vampire is actually evil. We should learn more about the story of how a vampire came to be. I guess it's some sort of freak devil fruit. During my time as a Marine I saw many devil fruits that cannot be explained by modern science. Some Devil fruits defy logic itself" Senji Ponders out loud to the crew.

A very very frail old man walks up to us" what are you all doing outside you know it's supposed to be a full moon. And you do not want to be out during a full moon, they say that's when the vampire strikes most. They say her hunger is endless on the full moon. Please come with me to my house oh by the way my name is Brom"

"Yea guys I agree with the old man we should probably go inside. Minks are not very big fans of the full moon. Much like vampires, we change during the full moon. For most Minks it's very hard to control. Let's hurry up and get inside. I'd rather not go into my sulong form or run into a vampire " KuroShiro" as he cups his face from the moon's light.

We all follow the old man to a small Hut on the edge of town. He looks at the crew and says" I apologize that there's not a lot of room. I must confess this is the first time I've had a mink as a guest. And not to be rude but you are a big fellow you are taking a pretty good amount of room."

" It's okay, my family runs a restaurant I'm used to squeezing into small spaces. I remember many times as a kid I got stuck in the cupboard though. Believe it or not, until about a year ago I actually used to weigh a lot more. Now I'm more muscular, " KuroShiro proclaims proudly.

"All right now that you are all settled in let me Regale your tail of long ago. My grandfather once told me a story. And his father saw the events happen right before his very eyes. So the story I am about to tell you is 100% the truth. Before I tell you the story you see that castle up there. That is known as Bloodfall Castle. And then you see that Tower on the opposite hill. We call that the Tower of sins. About 80 years ago meliodas and the other seven deadly sins came to this island" He stops and takes a puff from his pipe.

"But it doesn't explain why it was daytime only about an hour ago but became nighttime instantaneously getting close to this island" inquires Viper.

Before I continue about why this island is eternally night hence its name Nightfall Island. It's always been that way. The new world is a mysterious place and every island is different and all my years I have not had a single explanation as to why this island is eternally night. Now onto the origin of bloodfall Castle. My grandfather told me the tale as his father told him. 316 years ago the king and the Queen announced the birth of their daughter. The whole entire island rejoiced with King Archibald. And his wife Queen Constantine. Princess Shalltear was the first child born to the King. Few years later they had another daughter. However, Princess Annabeth died very young or so people believe. The King's mother and the guardian of this island for many years died only 7 years after the young shalltear was born. The King's mother had powers that were unexplainable" says Brom.

"Unexplainable power that can only be a devil fruit" states Kanda.

Ah yes you're a very clever young man. If I may continue my story. One day one of the servants saw a young Shalltear. Standing over the Corpses of her mother and father. At the time Shalltear was only 14 years old. They say that when she fell victim to the curse of the blood fallen family. The blood fallen family has always in their possession had the power of the Hito Hito No Mi mythical variant model vampire. Shortly after the king of the queen died the young princess threw out all of the servants and hit herself in the castle. Some of the servants remember her saying that she was scared she would hurt another human. so in order to protect the Kingdom she locked herself away. Not long after that the world government pulled out all resources the island then had to fend for itself says Bromq

" That sounds just like the world government to pull out when times get hard. That's the exact reason why I'm glad I was exiled and in prison by the world. And the exact reason I became a pirate, "Senji says sarcastically.

My grandfather remembers being a young boy asking questions and the adults just changing the subject. There's more to the story but for the sake of time I'm going to skip to where I came in. I was about 15 years old when I first saw her. Me and a group of my friends went up to the castle to try to prove the myth wrong. I saw a young girl in the window about my age. Of course when we went back to town nobody believed us about what we had seen. I didn't see her again for another 15 years or so and she had not aged a day. The process repeated I would see her every 15 years or so the very last time I saw her however. Was around 10 years ago on my 90th birthday and she looked as young as the first day. I hope I did not bore you with my story. This island has been under the scrutiny of King Meliodas for the last 80 years. The only way he enforces his law is with the power that he and the other seven deadly sins possess" Brom says.

" So what should we look out for when looking for the seven deadly sins?" KuroShiro says while scratching his head.

" I'm not quite sure what all of the seven deadly sins powers are.There is Meliodas the Dragon sin Of Wrath. a demon born of Pure Evil. Then you have the Lion's sin of pride; they call him Escanor. He is a very very large man. The more prideful he gets the more power swells for inside of him. Then you have the Fox Sin of greed Bon he has a ghostly Look to Him. Almost as if he's lived far beyond that of any human. Next there is Gowther the goat sin of lust. He falls into I don't quite know what his powers are. He's a very feminine young man. Of course he is probably much older than he looks. His hair is as pink as the Sakura trees outside. Give me a moment as I recall the next one I am very old… the snakes of invy Diane she has a fruit that allows her to change her size at will that's all I know. The grizzly sin of sloth King and his powers are yet another mystery to me and to the people of the town. And lastly the Boar Sin of Gluttony Merlin she uses weird Magic not that of a devil fruit. Magic that cannot be explained in any means" states Brom.

" All of them sound very scary. Why do we never go anywhere nice? First we go to a place with gargoyles they were forced to trade for a year and now we go to a place with vampires and scary Immortal people. And now we're probably at the fight the Seven Sins Of Man" wines KuroShiro.

"You may stay here tonight. However in the morning I said yes to you head up to the castle to get questions for yourselves. And don't worry I will wake you when it's morning. I know that this Island's weird timeline and eternal Darkness will throw you off. We have developed ways to tell time. Get some rest you guys have a big day ahead of you" says Brom.

Several hours later the crew wakes up and starts heading up towards blood Fallen Castle. Along the way they meet a small frail man. He has short hair and a mustache. He addresses himself when he sees them as Edgar. "Do you mind if I join you?" he says.

All of the crew just let him join. He seems harmless enough. Eventually reaching the door Asahina Knocks. The door slowly creaks open but there's no one there. " See like I was telling you guys on the way up here this Castle is abandoned. Of course I wouldn't know I've only been here in this Kingdom for only a few months" says Edgar.

The crew decides to split up and everybody goes to different corners of the castle. KuroShiro Kanda and Octavia I'll go towards the left wing of the castle. Accompanying them is Edgar. They find their way to the kitchen. Course you open up the refrigerator to see vials and vials of a dark red liquid " yep definitely a vampire there's no other explanation. This is more than likely blood."

" Well either that or this person really likes ketchup" Octavia says jokingly

"Nope Way Too Thin to be Ketchup. However it does have a slight thickness to it" corrects KuroShiro.

In The West Wing of the castle Asahina, Senji and And Axel. Find themselves wandering through bedrooms. Most of which are locked, only a few opened. Considering the amount of dust on the beds it's safe to assume they haven't been used in a very long time. One door however catches her eye differently than the rest. And at the very end of the hall. A very subtle amount of light peeks out from under the door. " Umm guys I think someone's in that room over there"

" Yeah, because heading towards the door where there's probably a vampire is definitely the smartest thing to do" Axel says with a slight smirk.

" Do you always have to act like you're better than everybody else? You know what, never mind. It's probably a coping mechanism. I have plenty of those myself, "Senji says.

Asahina pushes open the door to see a girl that looks no older than 16. Her pinkish white hair flowing down from the top of her head to the middle of her back. Wearing a bright pink and purple dress that's slightly torn in certain places. The girl looks up and says " you shouldn't be here. No one should be in my castle I… I must always stay alone. I am a monster. I've killed way too many people. I can't control it and there's another full moon tonight before it overtakes me again. I don't want to hurt anybody else."

" I'm here to help you, my name is Asahina. Please tell me are you the long lost princess. Are you princess Shalltear" I say.

" Y-yes but like I said you shouldn't be here please I beg of you leave. And besides I'm no longer the princess not after the seven deadly sins took over. They claim this country from my family 80 years ago. Although I may not look it, I am 316 years old. And I have no desire to hurt anybody else so please I ask you one more time to leave my castle" says Shalltear.

" I refuse to leave you alone in this Castle. We are going to take back this country. Even if I have the challenge of seven deadly sins myself I will rightfully get you back your throne "I say.

"You'd really do that for me. But you don't even know me. Even without knowing me you still want to help" Shalltear.

"From all that I've heard from the Storyteller. The seven deadly sins are evil. I will help you beat them" I say.

While exploring the basement Carlos, Ellie, Viper. Find a huge metal door. It takes all of their effort to open it. As soon as they open it they see a giant metal cylinder with a person inside of it. The young girl inside looks no older than 14.

" What the hell is this? It seems to be some sort of device to keep someone alive. Didn't Deadpool say something about something like this. What do you call it" says Carlos.

All of a sudden out of nowhere Shalltear appears behind Carlos, enraged as she looks at him. A blood red glow glimmering from her eyes " stay away from my little sister."

Quickly running up behind her I scream out " no don't hurt my friends they mean your sister no harm. Please let's all go upstairs and talk about this."

We meet up with KuroShiro and the rest of the group. Upstairs in a very large dining hall Shalltear looks over the room a little bit then says " please everybody make yourself at home." She glances over at Edgar " do I know you from somewhere."

" Oh that's impossible. I've only been here for almost a year, " says Edgar pridefully.

" I really don't think we should dilly dally. We should go to fight the seven deadly sins.

All of the Phoenix Pirates start heading towards the Tower of sins not knowing what horrific fate that will be for them
