I'm running a bit late  for Gorad's errand but that's okay. My mission is to eliminate the remaning demons anyway, or so what mother says. I left Merlin and her friends to find the guy. I knew he was threatened.

I quickly flew above Barfor forest and activated my light powers. My light powers is use to detect demons hiding. Since they are weak to goddess light, they are easily found on cases like hide and seek.

"Ouch, that hurts little goddess."

"Like I said, I show no mercy. Show yourself- or I'll use light ray on you."

"I'd rather not." And suddenly he stood in front of me- too close I think. Just an inch from our faces. I attempt to punch him, but he dodged too quickly and that made me trip.

"Ooh, clumsy."

"Shut up." I said in annoyance.

"Quit playing games with me." I ordered.

"I'm not," he replied. "Actually you're the one who's playing."

"Are you too scared to fight a goddess?" I smirked.

The footsteps stopped and his hand held my neck, threatening me. His face was so close I could see the emeralds in his eyes. I could barely breathe with the thought of choking me.

"Why is it that you are so beautiful?"

"That is not the right way to compliment a woman." I slapped him so fast it finally hit. He backed off, and I was freed.

"Come, goddess. I'll let you take a glance on what I have seen."

"I will follow you no where."

"Then you'll might miss the good part."

"Let's have a duel, shall we?" I offered, thinking of a bright idea.

"Hmm." He thought for a while. "A duel? With you? And what will the winner gets?"

"Anything desired."

"Deal." Without hesitation, he accepted our deal. He went in position and took off his weapons. Are you understimating my powers? Do you think I am that weak for combat skill? Hah! Pathetic demon.

"We'll fight bare hand."

"Don't be so confident, demon."

"Don't be so innocent, goddess."

Oh I am so gonna enjoy this.

Fist of Justice

I chanted. "Ladies first," he said. I went forward and punched him. He dodged it by grabbing my arm but I kicked his legs and it made him kneel.

"Not bad." He said.

He layed a punch on my stomach. Why the heck does everybody hits me in the stomach?! I threw a punch at him at his face, though he dodged it fast

My legs shifted quickly as he ran away, hopping from tree to tree. I flew and joined him on his hide and seek battle and hopped on trees like how he did. When I stopped on a tree, I trip on a branch.

But a hand stretched to my waist.

"You're not so much good at hide and seek are you?"

I-I... Get off!! I thought

But I also thought that staying like this would also be great. We stared at each other for an inhale of seconds, and I bobbed my head to his, making it hit his head. I release myself in victory.

"I honestly enjoyed myself, demon." I cheered.

"Aw bummer, I kinda want to show you my companion."

"Bummer. Now, the winner gets anything desired."

"And what is it that you desire?"

"Hm. I don't know yet. Maybe tomorrow, I'll tell you."

"Are you telling me that we should meet tomorrow?"

"Is that even a question?"

"I don't mind. I might request for a rematch, If you haven't still tell me what you want." He smirked.

I want you to help me with my research. My research on demons, actually. And you're the perfect rat lab for it. But I'm still unsure yet.

"Fine." I said in annoyance.

"See ya tomorrow, goddess."

"Elizabeth."

"I know that already."

"Oh, I see."

And there was awkward silence between us. But finally he broke it off.

"Meliodas."

I smiled, and he flew away. I was left though, so I walk around and saw a necklace. I opened the necklace and saw a picture inside of it, that looks exactly like me. But its bangs covers her right eye, but overall it looks exactly like me.

"Damn it! Where is that necklace?" I yelled. That necklace is important to me. It felt like a hint of nostalgia, so I picked it up. Dang, it must've fell off when I was flying.

"Hey Riri, do you think she's her?"

"Caw!"

"You think so?"

"Caw!"

"Aww, she'll love you, I promise."

"Cawww."

Riri, the rare phoenix that I found helpless inside a cave, injured. I healed her and eventually she grew to love me and I grew to love her too. And I wish Elizabeth will love her as well.
