Meliodas turned around, with a glare of annoyance to meet the archangel, Sariel, and the supreme deity's daughter, Elizabeth. Sariel smirked at the demons.

"Are you going to tell us why you're here?" Sariel pressed.

Meliodas pressed his lips tightly unless he would explode. "Our prince, Zeldris, was taken from the demon realm by a group of divine corporals. We've come looking for him," Gowther explained.

Sariel laughed. "You have the au-"

"Do you know who they might have been?" Elizabeth interrupted.

"Lady Elizabeth! You can't seriously believe them!"Sariel protested.

"I wouldn't put it above them though," Elizabeth muttered. "It's not that hard to believe." Meliodas raised a brow. He took note of the woman. He'd never thought that the supreme deity's daughter would be so reasonable.

"The memories of the living guards involve a goddess named Jelamet," Meliodas told her. Elizabeth seemed to recognize the name.

"I know where she is. I could take you to her but," Elizabeth mumbled just loud enough for them to hear. Meliodas perked up but what was the catch? "You'd have to promise to keep the fighting to a minimum." Meliodas thought for a moment. He'd had really wanted to make them pay. But, I suppose, as long as Zeld gets home...

Meliodas nodded. "You have my word as long my brother returns safely." Elizabeth smiled sweetly. She turned to Sariel and told him to try to keep Ludoshel out of it. Sariel reluctantly agreed and left.

"Alright let us be on our way," Elizabeth said as she faced Meliodas again. They continued to maintain a slightly prolonged eye-contact.

They pulled a twilight.
