"Just what the hell are you doing, Zeldris." I said with disbelief, and his brows started to go low. Somehow I am to be the boss here, since I am the eldest. We sit on the empty throne room as I left the kid sleeping in my room.

Silence filled the room and was soon broken by Zeldris.

"I need you to cast that spell on me."

"What spell?" I asked.

"The spell of Istar, from what I've used on you to go back to the past."

"Speaking of, I have lots of questions."

"What?"

"First, who is the scarred man?"

"Who? Brother, you know I'm born a hundred years after Estarossa. Till then I have not met someone like that."

"Who revived you? And why did you die?"

"I was defeated at the Holy War. Father did. He said he wanted you to become Demon King, and bring back the clan that we lost."

"...How did our clan got wiped out anyway?"

"The previous Holy War three years ago, someone had lost control and killed everyone. Everyone. I wouldn't want to say a name since I want you to know it by yourself."

"Take me back Zeldris. Watch the child while I'm busy."

"But are you su-"

"I can take it. I'll finish this damn thing here and now."

We head to the pitch-black room and he chanted the spell.

"Istar... donor.... CUZA!"

Different scenes were shown in a circular movement, and a vision flashes my eyes.

"How many hearts do you have now?"

"I have six! And I'm also six years old."

"Good boy. The last potion that you'll ever drink is when you turn 7."

"Okay." We were eating roasted pork while burning a fire and I saw a dragon handle on his side.

"What is that dragon handle?"

"Oh, it's a sword."

"What for? Can you tell me the story?"

"Hush, Meliodas. Bedtime story is for later."

"Meliodas! MARIA IS GONE!!" Zeldris cried as he runs out of breath from all the running and.... and blood from his clothes as he carries Maria.

"What happened?"

"Brother I... I killed some villagers and I... I didn't what to do so I ran away. They believed that I killed Maria a-and they started to throw me things so I chanted some spells you taught me and they... they all died. There are a hundreds of men rallying to here."

"Put her down, and ready your sword."

"What are we doing?"
