Atonement [Nanatsu no Taizai x Reader]

Chapter 1

The dungeon rumbled. 

"Why is it so noisy..?" You rasped, shakily reaching out your hand at the metal door.

"The Commandments are having a battle with the Sins." A guard replied from outside the door.

"Oh.."

The dungeon rumbled again, the walls started to crack, bits of rocks fell along with dust.

You smirked, sitting on the dusty floor of the dungeon.

"Are you sure the Sins can defeat them?" You asked the guard from the other side.

"I'm pretty sure of that, along with the other Holy Knights. But if it fails, we'll have to use you." The guard said.

"You all know I can't do that." You stated, "I cannot interfere with their battle, I am only a mere servant.

"Lies, besides, what's the worst that could happen?" The guard chuckled.

"Death." Right at the moment you said that, the dungeon's walls crumbled into rocks. You heard the guard scream behind the door.

A large rock fell where you were sitting.

Blood was splattered everywhere, your body was squished and blood form around it.

But you couldn't die that easily.

The blood started to return back to where it was and your body regenerated.

No flat brain, head squished body. You were perfectly fine.

You stood up and smiled at the rock that had 'killed' you.

You petted it.

It crumbled down into pebbles.

You smiled and stared at the where the dungeon ceiling was supposed to be but instead the sky replaced it.

"It's time to see who survives and who does not." You said, feeling your featherless wings flap.

Instead of any sound of flight, the sound of bones rattling was heard.

"Oh, I can't fly.." You looked at the ground and grumbled, "walk there it is then.."

You stepped out of the crumbled dungeon, free at last. You took in the scent of of death and destruction, feeling determined.

Swords clashed, blood spilt, souls screamed for revival, fire blazed and you continued on walking, unfazed by your surroundings.

"Sir!" A Holy Knight called out, "it has escaped! The creature has escaped!"

"What?!" Another yelled, panic in his voice.

"The battle near the dungeons destroyed it's cell!"

"Oh God, what'll we do now?!"

"We'll have to set Commandments aside, it takes first priority."
