You are now Zeldris and you're on your way to the heart of the Demon Realm with a group made up of your closest friends and your worst enemies. You won't admit it to yourself or to anyone else, but... never mind. You shouldn't be thinking about what they're doing to y/n right now. And you know that the second you think of her you'll start worrying. You need to keep your head clear so you can focus on rescuing her. So you can focus on anything but the torment she's being subjected to. Darkness swirls around inside you and your demon mark is clearly visible. The darkness erupts from your fingertips like lightning. You can barely control it.

A hand on your shoulder.

You roll your shoulder to remove the hand, but whoever it's attached to doesn't take the hint. You turn your head. Of course it's your oblivious older brother. You pick his hand up and remove it from your shoulder, glaring at him. He's wearing his usual dopey smile.

"Stop it," you say.

"She's going to be okay."

Tension builds in your jaw and the sparks of darkness intensify. How can he say that she'll be okay when Estarossa has access to the Agony Matrix? How dare Meliodas say that y/n will be alright when there are people in the Demon Realm who could take her soul and destroy it?

Her soul...

Her sweet, gentle soul.

You smash a pillar in one punch. It doesn't help. The darkness can't be contained anymore. It goes off like a nuclear bomb.

If your father didn't know you were here before, he does now.

Stupid.

Stupid.

Stupid.

You've ruined everything, and now y/n is going to die. She must be so scared. And you can't shake the feeling that you won't get to her in time.

That you'll fail her.

Your comrades look concerned.

Right.

They've never seen this side of you before.

They're waiting for you to relay your orders and calm down.

You take a deep breath. You need to focus.

"We need to keep moving forward," your voice sounds a lot calmer than you feel.
