((^^ That's Arden from the flashback in the last chapter. Where the gold and silver is on the armour, replace that with purple and add a bit more to it. And replace the sword she's holding with her scythe. And ignore those...horns and tail(?) XD I have no idea what that is. And her hair is greyish-white but in this picture it's more...blonde...kinda. Anyways, ignore that. And remember, she used to have short hair, too. ^^))

Chapter 4
What Happened To The Others?

Third Person's P.O.V.

Diane and Arden watched in shock and slight horror as Gilthunder used his foot to turn to captain over, so he was facing the sky. Gilthunder stared down at him. Arden leaned against Diane for comfort and her bottom lip began to quiver. And tears welled up in Diane's eyes, threatening to fall at any moment.

"Meliodas. The eight deadly sins' dragon sin of wrath. Do you have any last words?" Gilthunder asked the fallen captain. Meliodas shuddered before he spoke.
"I...just want to know...what happened to the others..." Meliodas told Gilthunder quietly. Gilthunder sheathed his sword.

"Very well then. I will tell you." Gilthunder nodded. "Out of the remaining six, I only know the whereabouts of two of them. The fox sin greed is being dealt with in Baste Prison, while the grizzly sin of sloth is dead and in the necropolis." Gilthunder told Meliodas. "But don't worry. I'll send the others to join you soon enough."

Meliodas shuddered again.
"King...is dead...?" Arden spoke up. Gilthunder turned to look at her and nodded. Arden's eyes teared up and she began to silently cry, sniffling every now and then. Diane wiped her tears away before she started crying, too.
Gilthunder looked down at Meliodas. Blood was still gushing from his shoulder. It was like a waterfall. It was...beautifully terrifying.

"N-No kidding..." Meliodas slowly closed his eyes. Arden had tears streaming down her face. But it was strange. She was a silent cryer. Diane, on the other hand, was sobbing her eyes out.

"Thank you, Little Gil!" Meliodas's eyes suddenly burst back open and he hopped to his feet, like nothing had happened. Gilthunder looked...very displeased.

((^^ Just look at that face XDDD ^^))

"Necropolis and Baste prison, eh? I'll check out one or the other." Meliodas grinned. Arden and Diane were drying their tears. Diane stopped sniffling and they both stopped crying. But both their eyes were still puffy.

"You idiot! Don't fucking scare us like that!" Arden yelled, holding back more tears. "I don't know what I would've done if I had just been reunited with you, only to lose you again!" Arden continued, this time she sniffled. Diane was nodding, agreeing with what Arden was saying.
"Sorry." Meliodas grinned and waved his hand at us. "But to fool your enemy, you have to fool your friends first."
