Echoes of an Old Life

1

(On earth, a century long war has been raging between two gods. The Supreme Deity of the Goddess Race and the Demon King of the Demon Race. Demons touchdown in the camp, and one of those demons was Y/n. You move toward a temple. Melascula, one of the Ten Commandments, sitting outside the temple, watches as you pass by. You reach the temple and walk inside. You're glanced at by the other Ten Commandment members, Galand, is sharpening his weapon. You attempt to enter but are immediately stopped by Derieri, another Ten Commandment)

Derieri: Meliodas.

(Meliodas and his brother Zeldris, turn to look at you. Meliodas is the leader of the Ten Commandments)

Zeldris: So he's your new member.

(You step forward)

Galand: Derieri, do you know which commandment he has?

Derieri: Repose.

(Meliodas turns back to his brother. They have a conversation about something. Soon, it ends with Zeldris leaving the room. You join the Ten Commandments. Meliodas steps forward)

Meliodas: It's been a while, hasn't it?

Y/n: It has, very good to see you again.

Meliodas: You too.

(You and Meliodas share a hug. Derieri and Galand start moving out)

As you already know, I'm the leader of the Ten Commandments. That's Derieri of Purity and Galand of Truth.

(You and Meliodas follow the demons behind, exiting the temple, with you next to Meliodas, with Derieri, Galand who sheathes his weapon, and Zeldris walking side by side in front of them)

I'm not gonna lie to you, Y/n. You're stepping into some shoes. The rest of the squad would rather leave unfilled.

Y/n: So where are the other Ten Commandments?

Meliodas: Out on the battlefield. They won't be joining us on this mission.

(The two of you reach an armory with weapons, Melascula)

Me, I'm just happy to have demons back up to full strength. Just one thing - I've been told about your experience in battle. Even the part they didn't want me to tell. I'm glad to have your skill, but we're a team. Clear?

(You nod)

Y/n: Got it.

Melascula: Welcome to the Ten Commandments.

Meliodas: This is Melascula of Faith.

Melascula: Hello.

Y/n: Hi.

(You and the Ten Commandments head out, flying toward a mountain range in the distance. Time passes, and they fly over a mountainous landscape)

Meliodas: Listen up. We're looking at an abandoned village. We're going to introduce ourselves to whoever took it out.

Galand: Just get me under the hood, Meliodas.

(You look back and see someone fast approaching)

Y/n: Who's that?

Meliodas: Y/n, this is Monspiet, Commandment of Reticence. He'll be joining us on this reconnaissance.

Monspiet: Pleasure of having you on the team.

Y/n: Likewise.

(Everyone can see the village from above and now approaching it)

Zeldris: This is a dead zone. Let's be careful when arriving. Keep an eye out on the skies for any enemies.

Galand: I'm lonely already.
