Dark Connection

A Hero?

Over the next month the sins have trained relentlessly, Arthur, Gilthunder, Howzer and Griamore including.

Elizabeth had worked on her Druid abilities with the help of Meliodas which she found odd on how much he knew about her abilities.

He didn't seem like a Druid either. He didn't feel like one or look like one. His magic wasn't the same at all, it was destructive, the opposite of Elizabeth.

It didn't have a good feeling to it, it was unsettling sometimes but a lot of the time it felt familiar and almost like safety for Elizabeth.

Elizabeth had gotten used to using her goddess powers and could do the basics. Even the basics were a lot stronger and she could be considered on par with the sins themselves though she didn't have much confidence in her abilities.

The Holy knights, were significantly stronger than they were before though they definitely were not as strong as the Seven Deadly Sins.

Meliodas was in a meadow laying on the grass and looking up into the sky. It was hard to not reminisce on the past when you had nothing to occupy you. "Sir Meliodas?" Elizabeth asked, She sat next to Meliodas and began looking into the sky too.

He hasn't exactly been the same since the day he fought Galand he has been on edge and that added to whatever his feelings were that night when he was having a nightmare.

Elizabeth was hesitant but ended up shooting the question. "Why are you out here? Aren't you cold?" She asked. Meliodas didn't say anything for a while until opening his mouth to speak.

"I felt like I haven't done much good in this world despite living for as long as I have." Meliodas stated.

Yeah it was true he felt more compassion and empathy towards others during the recent years yet despite that. All the lives he managed to save does not even come close to the ones he took and counting, He was practically a walking bomb.

Even if Merlin sealed most of his powers he was still insanely strong compared to everyone else around him.

This was a fact and something everyone had acknowledged. Meliodas had only been able to keep his emotions in check for so long.

A few accidents when his emotions activated a portion of his power and destroyed everything around him, he killed alot of people then. Even then he had been able to calm down knowing she wasn't entirely gone and that he can still fix it.

Every death felt like his heart was ripped out of his chest in front of him and thrown aside. His mental health was like a cracked mug, at any sudden movement it can all crash down and shatter into dozens of pieces. He was gonna snap soon, and when that happens nothing will hold him back.

"You've saved the sins, liones, my father, sister and other holy knights plenty of times. You pulled the sword out of the ground giving that village water." Elizabeth added. Even if Meliodas didn't see himself as such he was a hero.

"If you met me from the past you would've have praised me." Meliodas stated. "I'm sure you weren't as bad you make yourself out to be." Elizabeth added.

"My own family was scared of me, I'm not so sure Elizabeth." Meliodas stood up and began walking back to the tavern. Elizabeth sat in the moon light. "Come on Elizabeth, it's cold."
