Reunited love

Chapter 4

"Brother...?"

Y/N's POV

My eye was glued to the blonde in front of me, watching as he conversed with his friends. "Captain, I advise we change direction." a mage said, who looked awfully familiar to me.

"Hold on, Merlin! That wasn't the plan we agreed to!"" a voice protests. "If you don't want to look for Diane, I'm going off on my own!" My eye slowly trailed off my brother and onto the Fairy King.

Who is this Diane they're looking for? And how does the Fairy King know Meliodas?

"I understand how you feel, King, but you need to calm down." the mage named Merlin said to the Fairy King. "Diane's presence has faded, along with whoever was confronting the Ten Commandments. This happened right after we were attacked. Most likely, they're both safe. But if we were to approach them now recklessly, we would both put Diane and the one who rescued her in danger." she warned him.

My eye trailed back to Meliodas as he put his hand on his friend's shoulder. "Don't worry. We're definitely going to rescue Diane! All of us together, okay?"

The current Fairy King was dumbfounded at my brother's bold statement and had a look I could not describe.

Meliodas looked back at the mage and continued. "So I guess the change in direction means you have somewhere else in mind?"

"The location isn't far from here," the mage answers. "It's the Holy Land of the Druids, Istar."

I aimlessly followed the Seven Deadly Sins on their journey to Istar making sure I stayed far enough behind them to not be noticed by anyone traveling on the giant pig.

I passed through the stone entrance and was greeted with a serenity-like place that was a sight for sore eyes.

I landed swiftly and concealed myself. Hiding behind one of the large stone pillars as I watched from afar

"How does this exactly work?" the knight who was traveling with the Seven Deadly Sins said.

"It's a type of special gate that protects this place." the mage states firmly. "However, in order to enter you need the spell caster's permission to do so."

The knight seemed to quickly connect the dots and looked at the mage."By that logic, Big Sister, if the gate's open, then that would mean..."

"Your deduction would indeed be correct! We were aware of your arrival."

There they stood. Two Goddesses I haven't seen in ages. Jenna and Zenari. There was a man standing in between them as they greeted the Seven Deadly Sins and their comrades.

"The Seven Deadly Sins! It's been quite a while," Jenna greeted them.

"You sure are humongous, Chief! The names' Hawk! Captain of the order of scraps disposal!" a smaller version of the large pig ran up to the three of them.

Suddenly the eldest Goddess stuck her wooden staff up the pig's snout and I couldn't help but laugh. "We're the chief's around here!" she said, still torturing the poor pig. "I'm Lady Jenna, this is my younger sister, Zaneri!"

The pig seemed stunned at this. "Y- You mean these little girls are the Druid chiefs? Then who is this old guy?"

"The name's Theo!" said the "Old guy" responded rather cheerfully. "I'm the one in charge of protecting our dear chiefs!"

"What's up, Theo! It's been a while," Brother greeted him. "You really bulked up, huh?"

"Yeah, Sir Meliodas, and at fifthteen I'm still growing!" he said cheerfully.
