The 8th Deadly Sin

The Undercover Truth

Truth saw that in the room there was an uncomfortable looking, red bed. She set the box of her clothes down on the center of it. Then she covered it up with her hat, and sat down next to them.

The door bursted open and the owner of the establishment had a list. "You we got a request from that one guy calling himself Fastus. He's asking specifically for you" he said. Truth followed the man out of the room, and into a smaller room with only curtains for walls.

There was a small stage that seemed to be only as wide as a few steps. There was a lone chair on the other side of the room. In came a man covered in a black robe and a hood with a shadow covering most of his face.

He sat down on the chair and crossed his left leg over his right. The owner closed the curtain, and to Fastus he said "good luck with this one." Then he put his eyes on Truth, and she started dancing.

Truth didn't know what she was doing. She never learned how to dance before, but she was dancing like a pro. She even hopped of the stage and started dancing around the man.

She couldn't snap out of the dance craze she was in. However, once it went to far, when it got sexual, she did snap out of it. Once she did this Fastus took off his hood and revealed himself as Pride.

"So your secret ability is hypnosis?" she asked. He answered " No, actually that was Lust's ability, if you haven't seen it yet. Mine is to copy other people's abilities."

Truth looked at the man and in an unsure voice she said "I've been sent here to arrest you, for treason." Pride stood up and put his hand on her shoulder. "But that's not what you want to do now, is it." 

He slid his hand up from her shoulder, to her neck. "This is Sloth's ability" he said as Truth started seeing the room around her slowly go black. Everything was dark except for her and Pride.

Then she saw him walk through her and she heard "it's too bad he was too lazy to master it." She fell to the ground and the light came back to her. The owner opened the curtains surrounding the room to peak in.

Then he walked in and grabbed her by the hand. He forced her back to the room with her bed. He screamed at her "YOU SCARED A PERFECTLY GOOD COSTUMER AWAY. YOU'RE LUCKY HE ALREADY PAID ME!"

He calmed himself down and said "I'll be back to deal with you later." The Owner slammed the door and Truth was sitting on the bed next to her hat and box of clothes. Without even thinking she climbed through the window with her hat on and the box of her clothes in her hands.

She saw a wagon pass through the town that looked like it was going towards the capital with some supplies. She ran and hopped onto the back of it. Then she just waited until she got back to the kingdom's capital.
