"So this is Istar, right?" Elizabeth asked, once we'd come to a stop.

"Yep. I think it's been about ten years since I was last here," Meliodas said.

The two of them took off, and I trailed a little ways behind.

King appeared next to me, flying at the pace I walked. "So what's your deal, huh? Where have you been all this time?"

"Asleep," was my simple response.

"Uh uh, that ain't gonna cut it. Why didn't you come years ago?"

I sighed. "Look, King, I was in an uncompromisable situation for many years, but I finally managed to break free and here I am, helping you. Maybe you shouldn't be so suspicious of your allies."

"I wasn't suspicious, just curious. It isn't a big deal anyways, you're here now. I'm sure Meliodas is happy to be with you again, and you with him."

"Thanks, King. You guys aren't half bad too. You're a little high-strung, maybe--"

"Hey!" he protested.

"Kidding," I laughed. "It's been great to meet all of you. At the very least, it's nice to know that my brother isn't struggling alone anymore. Where are the rest of the Sins?"

"Ban's on a quest of his own. He's trying to resurrect my sister, who's also his lover. It's weird. Anyways, Escanor's kind of M.I.A. We haven't seen him in a long time. He's been hiding since we were outlawed, but we need to find him and tell him we're free now," King explained.

"They both sound like saps," I commented.

King scoffed. "I'll let you decide that for yourself. We're here."

We stood under a large stone pillar. I looked ahead and saw only more plain land.

"We're...where? There's nothing here."

He gestured for me to keep walking.

"Um, I don't think it makes a diff-" I looked up and stopped talking. The landscape had completely changed. The sky was green and had purple clouds. A path stood in between two large bodies of water. Ahead stood a little island with two odd looking structures.

Meliodas was already at the island, greeting some people.

"Well, shall we?" I said.

King and I made our way across the path to the island.

I saw three individuals; two women who looked alike, except one had orange hair, the other dark, almost black, both women's hair braided loosely. The orange haired woman wore a short red dress with yellow flowers along the top, and was busy assaulting Hawk. The dark haired woman wore a long white dress, pink flowers on hers. Between them a tall, muscular man stood, regal and powerful. He had a face that looked quite old.

"Yo," Meliodas waved when we got closer to him. "Meet the Druid chiefs. That one's Lady Jenna." He pointed to the lady sticking her staff into Hawk's nose. "This is her sister, Lady Zaneri. And this big fella's Theo. He's the priest who protects them. What's up, Theo? You really bulked up, huh?"

"Yeah, Sir Meliodas! And at 15, I'm still growing," the man - or boy, I guess - replied.

"You're 15?!" Hawk exclaimed in the middle of his assault.

"This pig is so amusing!" Lady Jenna giggled.

I chuckled and looked around. "This place is amazing."

"Isn't it?" Theo smiled at me.

I looked over to the left, and found Lady Zaneri holding Meliodas' hand to her chest.
