The 8th Deadly Sin

How to Train a Sin

After getting the clothes and story from Lust, Truth went where she was told to meet up with Wrath. That place turned out to be an indoor training area. It was filled wall to wall with training equipment and fake weapons.

Wrath spotted Truth in her amazement at the training room. He told her "this is were we train to be better than the best, oh, and nice outfit it suits you and this kingdom well." Truth thanked him and walked towards a rack of weapons, mostly wooden swords and spears with flat tips, but there was one weapon that stuck out to Truth.

This weapon, although a basic one, drew her in close. She reached out for it, but was startled when Wrath started to talk. Wrath had said "ah, a bow staff, not many people can master those, but I guess it is like a longer, non magical, version of your staff."

Then Truth stuck her hand out for it again, this time grabbing it. She then spotted a straw dummy and took a few swings at it. Wrath commented "you may not be able to do a lot of damage with only that much strength, but you seem to be hitting a major pressure point every time you hit with it."

Truth felt happy and started doing tricks, and flipping the bow staff around herself. Then she stopped and asked "so, how am I going to train today?" Then Wrath made a quick remark with "I nearly forgot, for your fist day of training a sin needs to face another sin. So it's a matter of who you want to train you, and keep this in mind. In strength I'm at top, then Lust, next is Greed, and the rest are pretty much on the same level."

Truth took a while to think and decided on Greed, as she hasn't fully met him yet. So Wrath called Greed into the training room. Greed came in and grabbed a wooden knife saying "I'll beat you with this dinky thing."

Without warning Greed started attacking truth. Truth tried to block  or dodge every one of his attacks that she could. Then what looked like it was pure luck, she struck him on the neck.

Where she hit should have knocked out a normal person, but the sins aren't normal people. Greed grabbed his neck and said "you little bastard you actually did it." He then started acting crazy, as if he was going rabid.

He rushed in and wasn't stopped by an earth magical barrier spell, casted by Truth. However he was stopped by a neck chop from Wrath. Wrath told him "you aren't suppose to use your special ability against your own team."

Truth, after calming down from the shock of the attack, asked "what was that, and whats a special ability?" Wrath would have had to tell her at some point so he just told her then. He explained "you know about magic in this world, of course, but for some people like us sins and the commandments, who are our kingdoms military commandos, posses our own special magic called 'abilities'. Now these abilities are never the same, and there are only 1 in a million people who can have one."
