Y/n sat on the same wooden stool from all those days ago, after the celebration which had taken place on her new position in the sins. Meliodas turned deadly serious, now focusing on the death of Gowther, the previous sin.
She knew Gowther quite well, but only knew his doll appearance and not the master himself. Now the doll was also gone, and the executioner will be brought down by the hands of the Seven Deadly Sins.
The front door creaked slightly as Someone walked in, turning to the side y/n was suddenly slammed into the wall, letting small pieces of stone to crumble onto the floor.
"Don't look at me" the figure spoke clearly, it's tone deep but also feminine. Y/n struggled against the force pushing her tight against the wall to her front. "What are you doing here!" She hissed with anger and shock.
The figure let out a loud breathe. "I'm here on an order...and my order is to kill the one called y/n, daughter of the demon king, a traitor to the demon race!" The figure strengthened the force against her. Y/n let out a groan as she fought against it, reaching out for the person behind her.
"Well, good luck with that!" Y/n growled, with another struggle, she broke free. Whipping around, yn was met with another strong energy, one that she couldn't see coming but she sensed it.
"Who are you!" She yelled out, regaining her stance as the bar's bench laid broken and destroyed on the tavern's floor.
The assassin didn't answer, keeping its self concealed in the shadows by the sense y/n had. "Fine don't answer me! I'll just have to make you" she smirked, pulling her hands into tight fists.
The shadows to her left seemed to blur and shift into a mist, y/n ran towards the shape shifting black. Before she could lay impact, y/n was yet again flung into the untouched wall on the opposite side of the room.
Y/n wiped a dribble of blood which trickled down the side of her mouth, let out a breath she flicked her gaze over to the door, hearing foot steps from outside. "Finally...now you're in trouble!" She stated, glancing back over to the shadows, which didn't appear to be moving or shifting.
"Wait.." she murmured, the door clicked open as Meliodas and Diane walked in. The blonde haired boy keeping a straight face as he glanced around the wrecked building.
"What happened" Diane mumbled, glancing around, then letting her eyes rest on y/n. "Y/n! Are you okay!" She quickly jogged over, helping her stand tall as Ban, King, Merlin and Escanor walked in.
Y/n let out a few tired breaths. Meliodas clenched his hands beside him, keeping his head tilted down. "What happened here y/n, who attacked you" He demanded, Ban walked over to him and King stayed under the door way.
Y/n licked the side of her mouth, taking in the butter taste of her own blood. "I was attacked" she said flatly, knowing he was upset. Diane kept her arm around y/n as Merlin walked towards an impacted wall.
"Who by" he said again, with the same tone. Ban rested a hand on Mel's shoulder. "Cap'n calm dow-" Ban was interrupted by his hard shrug, giving off a sign he didn't want to be reassured.
"Y/n, who by!" He turned to her, Diane took a step back. "M-Meliodas I'm fine, and I don't have a clue. They didn't allow me to even get a glimpse of their form, they hid in the shadows, they were quick.." King floated upwards, looking down from a Birdseye view.
"Quicker then you" Mel let go of his tight fists. Y/n nodded. "Quicker then me indeed, I didn't see them coming, I wasn't prepared" Diane frowned slightly. "That doesn't matter, you're alright and that's the most important thing."
Y/n turned her head to the side and gave her a thankful smile. Merlin crossed her arms as she studied some crumbled stone. "Do you think this was also the one that took down Gowther?" Escanor took a few heavy steps forward, Ban shoved his hands in his pockets, leaning back slightly.
Merlin nodded. "Of course it was" she said with a loud tone. Every sin exchanged quickly glanced before leaving them on the Boar Sin.
"What do you mean by that Merlin? How can you be sure?" King asked, hovering slowly to her side. Diane and y/n both started to walk towards he middle, coming to a stop near Meliodas and Ban.
"Can't you feel it Captain? The same Magic from that night, they leave it where ever they go" Merlin turned to face all of them. A small grin danced on her lips. "Yes..now that you mention it, It's identical to the magic used on that night"
Y/n flicked her focus towards both of them. "The one who attacked me, was also the one that killed Gowther? But why would they kill him? They said they're following through with an order, an order to destroy me, y/n daughter of the demon king, traitor to the Demon Clan"
Everyone then titled or turned they're heads to her. "Well maybe they're mission before hand was to kill the doll" Ban stated calmly, glancing over at the Captain quickly. Merlin kept her eyes on y/n "Possibly, but why now? It's been three years since The battle, and 3,000 years since Meliodas and Gowther, along with y/n turned away from the Demon Clan."
King kept his gaze down for a few moments. "What if like y/n, they were sealed away. So before hand they weren't able to follow their orders due to being imprisoned?" He questioned, Meliodas also crossed his arms.
"Yea and along with y/n, they also woke up and broke free. And now they're roaming around Britannia!" He clicked his fingers. Diane looked at y/n and then Meliodas. "But does that mean they'll be coming for you next Captain?"
"Hey hey wait a second, they need to kill me first" y/n put a one hand on her waist and the other down by her side. "That isn't going to be an easy task" Merlin commented, King looked over to her. "Merlin you say that even though y/n was just taken by surprise, and beaten"
Diane took her hand off of her shoulder and gripped her other arm. Y/n looked down as Ban let out a sigh. "Y/n is a lot stronger then what you expect Harlequin" Merlin smirked slightly, glancing over at the Kelpi Sin and then the Dragon Sin.
"We have to find out who's under these attacks" Meliodas raised his head. "Not just for y/n, but the people of Britannia and the Seven Deadly Sins"
• 3,000 years ago •
Meliodas crosses his arms over his chest as he glanced down at the battle below, y/n along with many other low ranking demons fought against many from stigma. Fairies littered the ground along with humans and a few giants, taken down by y/n her self.
He smirked, proud of his sister. Since the little meeting with the Demon King she'd grown strong, and quite clever. Meliodas has some assumptions he'd done something to change her, though he didn't care, y/n was now as strong as a commandment, and having her wrapped around his little finger played out better for the Clan then anything.
With a loud bellow, the last Giant fell to the ground, it's head rolled to the side before it came to a stop below a shattered bolder. Y/n flicked her sword, droplets of scarlet liquid flying to the ground.
Zeldris landed with a thump next to Meliodas, he stood tall next to his brother. Following his gaze towards the demons below. "You're spending to much time focusing on her, she's not worth your time Meliodas"
The blonde raised his head. "Y/n has potential, the six nights if black won't go near her Zeldris" he counted back. Meanwhile y/n raised the severed head from the giant's hair, a dark but soft laugh escaping her crimson lips.
Zeldris leant one foot against a cracked, beige rock, now focusing more on her. Surprised as She's coming along quite well. "Her magical power has come to a level of the lower ranking commandments" he smirked slightly.
Y/n crouched down, low to the ground. A second later she was gone, somewhere among the clouds as her large black seeping wings flapped beside her in synch.
Meliodas looked up to the sky, letting out a muffled agreement in response. Zeldris turned his back on the desiccated battle ground, his armour clicking against each piece.
"She better not let us down Meliodas, a sister or not I will make sure y/n stays in her place" Zeldris turned his head to the side, getting a glance of Meliodas in the corner of his eye.
"I'm sure you'd say the same if I were in your position, but with that said you seem to becoming soft" He continued, Meliodas turned to face him, giving him a hard glare.
"She was a disgrace to the demon race before I stepped in" he stated, keeping his steady gaze towards his brother. Zeldris then turned fuller, giving the same glare in return.
"Don't play me for a fool, Zeldris." He continued, keeping the intense eye contact. Zel just softened his expression and crouched, taking off as y/n did earlier before.
Meliodas let his expression fall as he sighed. Knowing the words his brother had spoken were true, y/n, before the Demon King had triggered something inside her. Some how managed to softened a part of Meliodas, he didn't want to accept it.
"Y/n will become has strong as us...As strong as the Demon Clan's Elite troops together. She must..." He said quietly to himself, keeping his eyes on the giant's head, resting on a spike near its body. "That's her destiny..."
