Fall of the Armor Giant

Fall of the Armor Giant

          Her eyes trailed the metal arrow as it fell from Gowther's grasp and clattered when it collided with the Earth. Violet pushed herself into a sitting position and turned her gaze towards the Roar's of Dawn who had regrouped as well as retrieved their unconscious member. "This kid is one of the Seven Deadly Sins?" Slader commented.

          "I can't believe it." The swordsman muttered with disbelief. 'You'll be in for quite the surprise then.' Violet thought. It was somewhat amusing to observe the samurai sword wielder purely because of his reactions.

          The archer made his way over and shrugged, "I know, but he stopped my fully charged arrow with his bare hands. I just can't imagine that some ordinary kid would be able to pull off a stunt like that." He reasoned.

          Gowther's analytical amber eyes swept across the clearing, "That is correct, there can be no doubt. I am indeed Gowther the Goat Sin." He said. There was a factual certainty that gave some semblance of life to his otherwise monotone voice.

          Without further ado Ban causally leapt down from his perch on the stone column and landed beside Gowther. His hands were halfway into his red studded leather pants pockets and his posture was quite relaxed despite the fact that he stood on a battlefield. "Woah, so back then you were wearing that armor huh? Guess I always figured it was some giant old man who was stuffed inside there." He stated.

           The Goat Sin's gaze followed Ban as the Fox Sin circled around him and noted the defining features and defined personality traits, "Given your posture, gait, tone of voice, attitude, and that scar, I presume that you're Ban the Undead." Gowther said conclusively.

          A small chuckle was drawn from the Fox Sin as he straightened. He'd leaned forward to get a better look at Gowther mere moments before, "Now that's the Gowther I remember!" Ban chuckled, and was clearly amused.

          There was an audible sound of disbelief from the sole female Holy Knight on the field, "He's one of the Seven Deadly Sins to?" She questioned softly.

            Gowther turned to face towards the swordsman and Meliodas next, "And that young boy who appears just as I remember him from years ago...Must be.." He mused.

          A cheerful smile etched itself onto Meliodas' features as he readily cut in, "You got it, I'm Captain Meliodas alright." He confirmed.

          "Hold on-this little squirt is the Captain of the Seven Deadly Sins!?" The swordsman exclaimed, and by this point Violet was quite certain that the swordsman was at his wits end. Half of them looked absolutely nothing like their wanted posters after all, which she only knew because she'd stumbled across a few on her draining trek to this forest.

          His reply was a mere, "Yeah, surprised?" In hindsight it most likely only served to piss the man off.

          "It's astonishing." Gowther commented with a rather blank expression on his features.

          Ban leaned over next to Gowther since the Goat Sin was shorter than him, "You saying that you can't tell from his face?" He asked with a devilish smirk, "Then what do you think of that guy?" He inquired as he pointed towards King. "Ready for this one? That's King." Ban explained.

          However Gowther was quick to brush aside Ban's claim, "No that's someone else. Bone structure, voice, and body odor. It all indicates another person, not King." He reasoned dismissively.
