Elaine, the Fox's Sin of Greed

First Time for Everything

Chapter 3

In the midst of the morning, Elaine woke up in her new chambers as provided by the king of Liones. Moderate but accommodating, the room she lives in now after she left her cell ended up joining the Seven Deadly Sins and had her only stuff, the ale collection book brought in last night. The immortal fairy lazily got out of her bed and headed a place for what the humans call a bathroom for a shower. Fairies never had one of those things in the Fairy Realm but while in human forms, it's necessary to have proper hygiene as Elaine did. She considers her brother King but doubts if he ever really took a shower since he smells musty. Ugh...I rather not think about that, Elaine nauseatingly thought of her brother's smell.

After a shower, Elaine put on a casual regal knightly attire fitting her human form's size. The attire consists of a long-sleeved shirt and a average sized dress lower in her knees and has pants too, including shoes. She even helped herself with her hair almost resembling that of a person in captain Meliodas' memories. All set, the Fox's Sin of Greed cheerfully heads out of her room to meet the rest of her fellow Deadly Sins for breakfast and then training under Great Holy Knight Zaratras. Alright Ban, I'm off to see the human world you talked so much about!, she merrily thought.

As she heads to the meeting place, Elaine greeted the Holy Knights and other regular knights passing by in a cheerful way all the while flying and running energetically and playfully. All those she passed by are either surprised or bewildered by her antics. "Hello sers! Good morning!" The immortal fairy playfully greeted as she jumped at the trio of Holy Knights to keep going. They barely reacted to the moment she jumped.

"Whoa! Who the heck is that?", a Holy Knight whose helm resembles a wolf's head, wearing full armor with a fur-themed cape and has a sharp longsword sheathed on the side of his left waist said. He dodged the moment Elaine jumped through him.

"Dunno Robb, she looks like some new Apprentice Holy Knight. Who can blame her? It's youth, recruits tend to be very motivated when it comes to training to become Holy Knights like us. Hehehe", a female Holy Knight whose helm resembling a flaming stag with visor open to reveal her beautiful face, streaks of black hair albeit small greyscars on her left cheeks, wearing a full body armor with battle dress and wielding a glowing flaming sword, spoke in a playful manner.

"Hey wait a minute. Shireen! Robb! Take a look on the girl's left hand! It looks like a fox.", a Holy Knight whose helm looking like a kraken, wearing a very heavy looking armor, holding a large battle-mace/axe hybrid weapon and a massive shield that has a symbol of the kraken exclaimed after taking a look at a running and flying Elaine.

The two Holy Knights took one glance on Elaine's left hand and exclaimed. "Y-you're right Theon! That is a tattoo of a fox! So that means..that young lady who passed, I mean jumped by us is the Fox's Sin of Greed?! One of the Seven Deadly Sins!? An independent group of knights recently formed by the king himself?!" Elaine turned around and giggled like a child, showing her fox tattoo leaving the trio of Holy Knights: Robb, Shireen and Theon bewildered with deadpanned expression behind their helms. This one is so childish for a Fox's Sin of Greed, the trio thought together.

As the immortal fairy continued on her way, she eventually collided with another Holy Knight in copper-colored armor with a cape wearing a helm resembling a demon of some sort and wields a deadly scimitar when she turned right and crashed. The Holy Knight was stumbled by such a sudden impact and fell on the floor. Same goes for Elaine who didn't expected that and mentally blames herself for being so careless.

"Oh no! I-I'm sorry ser! Let me help you up!", the Fox's Sin of Greed exclaimed when she realizes her mistake and offered a hand to get the Holy Knight up.

"Don't worry kid. Accidents happen all the time. Thanks for the help by the way. You need to be more cautious when running around the halls. Someone might get hurt if you keep this up now", the Holy Knight spoke in a gruffy voice. He must be an old geezer, she thought when she heard the elderly man's voice behind his demonic helm.
