The Captain's Second Half (Meliodas)(On Hold)

°•°•3.8•°•°

Camelot, the capital in the south once threatened by the Commandment of Truth, now silent with nothing but the destruction left as a reminder of the battle that occured. Inside one of the many rooms in the castle lay the Goddess Celeste. During the battle with Galand, she lost an arm and was left with a large gash on her side. Thankfully a mage was able to reattach her arm. Now she laid motionless on a bed with a blanket pulled up to her chest and her arms at her sides. Hawk perched up on the bed waiting for the Goddess to wake up.

Celeste found herself standing in a vast grassy field, glowing orbs floated about, the sun hung in the sky, blessing Celeste with its warm rays. Wind blew through her hair and clothes making them sway. The Goddess looks around confused, seeing nothing but the grassy field for miles. Just when she is about to start walking a voice stops her. "Never thought I'd see you here," A familiar male voice says. Upon hearing the voice, Celeste gasps and spins around to face the person. "Celeste." In front of her was her brother, her supposedly dead twin brother. "No way. Is... Is it really you?" Celeste asks, her voice trembling. Her twin brother looked exactly like she remembered him. His long silver curly hair, his blue eyes and both pairs of his pristine white wings, everything about him was the same.

"It's me, sister." He confirms. "Mael." Celeste took a step towards him, tears welling up in her eyes. Mael opened his arms and smiles warmly at his twin. "Mael!" Celeste runs into his arms, crying into his chest. "I'm so sorry!" She grips the back of his clothes. Mael wraps an arm around his sister and strokes her head with his free hand. "What is there to be sorry about?" He asks. "I failed. I failed again." Celeste pulls away. "You didn't fail. You've never failed." Mael tells his sister. "I did! I did fail! And on top of that I broke the sword you gave me. I couldn't protect anyone." Celeste whimpered. "Don't worry about the sword. You don't need it, you're stronger without it, you know." Mael comforts her.

"With or without a sword I still couldn't protect anyone, just like I couldn't protect you." Celeste sniffles, shaking her head. Mael reaches out and cups his sister's cheeks. "But you tried and even when the odds are against you, you fought for what's right, that's what I'm proud of. The battle isn't over yet, and neither is your journey." "But I can't. I'm not as powerful as I was back then." Celeste tells him. "Then go get your power back." Mael tells her, pulling her back in for a hug. The glowing orbs around them glow brighter. His voice was the last thing she heard, a soothing whisper, before the light completely overtook her vision. "Be brave, sister. You are never alone."

"Gee, Celeste how much longer are you gonna sleep for?" Hawk asks, sadness evident in his voice. He nuzzles against the hand closest to him. Celeste gasps and sits up, frantically looking around the room. "Celeste!" Hawk jumps onto her lap, crying. When she lays eyes on the pig, she sighs, and visibly relaxes. "Hi, Hawk." She rubs his head. "You have a lot of explaining to do missy!" Hawk huffs. Celeste knows what he was talking about and sighs looking down at her now attached arm. She flexes it and nods satisfied. "We're right outside the room." "Is Meliodas awake?" Celeste asks. "Elizabeth went to check up on him." Hawk tells her before leaving. Celeste heals herself and walks over to the dresser where her sword was back in its sheath.

"Don't worry about the sword." She mumbles, remembering her brother's words. "All right, I'll go get my power back and then gives this to them." Celeste grabs her sword and exits the room. Outside she found everyone now healed and Merlin's statue lying in a bed. "Lady Celeste!" Arthur looks over at the woman. "Hey, are you wounds healed?" Meliodas asks, walking over to her with Elizabeth's help. "I healed myself." Celeste replies, taking him from Elizabeth. "Ooh." Meliodas grabs her breast, making her and everyone else blush. "So, you mind telling me what happened out there? It's not like Galand to just slink away without finishing us off." Meliodas points out.
