Niko (POV)
Mama Hawk stops and we have officially made it to the Necropolis.Meliodas- We're here!
Diane- So this is the Necropolis? It's not what I expected.
Hawk- What type of run down little village gets a name like that?
Meliodas- Rumor has it, this should be the place closest to it. Let's see if we can get some intel on King and four out were to go from there. And we also need to make a little food money right away so let's get the tavern up and running.
Ban- What do you know? Guess the Captain really does sell the drinks.
Niko- I got cooking duty this Meliodas. Xerxes I need you to hunt some game. We need meat stat!
Xerxes- On it Chief!
Diane *mind*- Not going to lie, watching Niko work and order people around is super adorable.......oh Niko.....
Niko- Diane, you're on advertisement duty! Use your height, charm, and cuteness to bring in some customers! You got this!
Diane *mind*- Niko just called me cute! Why am I feeling this way? I don't get it! Niko's my best friend and I'm in love with the Captain but.......I'm actually starting to question it now.
Niko- Ban, I need you as my assistant in the kitchen!
Ban- Who me?
Meliodas- Alright you heard your manager! Let's get to work!
I notice Diane get glum all of a sudden.
Niko- Hey Diane, you good?
Diane- (perks up instantly) Y-Yeah I'm fine. I'll do my best as the billboard girl.
Niko- Cool beans. Alright Ban-
Ban is nowhere to be seen.
Niko- Ban?
Hawk- Awh what a jerk. He just left.
Meliodas- He'll turn up eventually. For now, let's get this show on the road.
Timeskip
Still no customers and still no Ban, we decide to go look for him. It didn't take us long to find him as he is in a skirmish with a floating child.Meliodas (bops Ban on head with mug) Bad Ban.
Ban- Captain could you butt out? I'm kinda busy here.
Meliodas- What's the matter with you? Think you could just skip out on work?
Ban- What's the matter with me? Some little punk I haven't met before came out of nowhere and started a fight. I mean just look at what he did to my sweet threads.
Niko- Hmm. Interesting kid.......now wait just a damn minute. That's......
Xerxes- Yup. It's him alright.
Diane- Alright. Someone tell me what all this commotion is about. (Notices kid and gasps)
DMXN- King!!
Ban's eyes widen.
Ban- Tell me how that little creep is suppose to be King!
Meliodas- Well maybe he lost a little weight?
Ban- A little weight?! That ain't even the real issue here!
Diane- King we came to look for you and now you're here. I'm so happy to see you again.
King just frowns, turns around, and flies off.
Niko- Wow rude much?
We head back to the tavern with two starving kids and I use my cooking skills to cook up a big meal.Niko- Alright get it while it's hot.
Elizabeth- That smells amazing.
Meliodas- Yup.
Boy- This looks great but-
Niko- If you won't eat it, I'll just feed it to Hawk who's drooling like a busted faucet.
The kids chow down and I take a seat on the bar table.
Niko- Okie dokie kids, what do you know about this place?
Boy- You're trying to get into the Necropolis too? That boy has asked us about it a lot. He told me he had to find it no matter what. He told us he's been looking for a long time.
Hawk- So it's actually here in this run down place?
Boy- No but it's not far away.
Elizabeth- Then where is it exactly?
Boy- The entrance to the Necropolis can be found here in this hamlet but it's not a place you can reach just because you want to.
Ban- Wait what? Riddles have never really been my thing.
Niko- So like a hidden grave?
Boy- It's not a grave at all. It's a land all to itself. A plain where you'll find the spirits of those who died.
Meliodas- We talking about the afterlife?
Elizabeth- How could we reach a place like that?
Ban- Tell me, have you had a chance to go there yourselves?
Boy- Oh no not us. All that stuff is just superstitious nonsense.
Girl- If you share with the dead your precious memories, it will lead to where you need to go. The man next door used to say that is all the time. I'm sorry but that's all I know.
Niko- (gives girl head pats) That tip really helped out. Thanks kid.
I get up from the table and head up the steps.
Xerxes- Yo Chief where you going man?
I say nothing as I get to the second floor and lock myself in the closest bedroom. From there I just slide down with my back against the door and just sit.
???- So still even after all these years, you still try to forget about me.
I look towards the bed and see her. I see Kira.Niko- You Damn right I'm trying to. After what happened that day.
Kira- Ah yes. The day where you shoved you Glaive through my chest and killed me.
Niko- You know damn well you gave me no other choice. Even after you turned, even after you gave in to the Exodus magic, I tried to save you because I loved you. But you forced my hand and gave me no other choice. I did what I had to do to save the future of this world. It's a thing I regret but it was a necessary thing I had to do.
Kira- And so you forcefully try to forget the love we shared, the passion we had between us all those many years ago. And yet despite your best efforts, I dead yet I still haunt your mind. Hell you're even trying to replace me with that Giant whore you call a "best friend."
Niko- Don't you ever talk about Diane like that you hear me?!!! And besides, it's not like that!
Kira- Oh is it? So the countless years to a couple decades to spent with one another. The many nights you spent in her arms cuddling, The emotional reunion after leaving her for a decade. Face it Niko. You're trying to replace me and what we had. (Stands up) But I won't let you. You're mine and I will never let you go and I will never let you forget what you did to me! You'll never be happy as long as I exist! That Giant bitch will never love you! You'll always be alone! No one can ever replace me! You will die with me being the last thing you think of you filthy, heart wrenching, backstabbing murderer!!!!!
Niko- GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!
???- Niko!!!
It was Diane and she was looking at me through the window from outside. I look around the room and Kira is nowhere at all.
Diane- Niko.......
Niko- I-I'm fine.
Diane- You're not fine. You're as white as a ghost, you're trembling, and there's tears coming from your eyes. Come on out here and we can talk about. Just you and me.
Niko- Diane I swear I'm fine. I just-
I don't finish as I get up, unlock the Four and run and lock myself in the bathroom.
Diane-..........Niko.......
Indigo: That's the end of this one. Hopefully you guys enjoyed it. Later indigo fam. Peace.
