Y/n's P.O.V
After King had suddenly flown away, we took the kids back into the Boar Hat and fed them. Ban obviously cooked since Meliodas' cooking is deadly.
"So can you tell us about the Necropolis?" Ban questioned casually as he watched the two kids eat. The boy kept rambling about how he didn't know anything. I can tell that was a lie...just something about him seems off.
"Memories of a loved one will take you to where you want to go. Sorry but that's all I know." The girl stated as Elaine immediately popped into my mind. Ban truly loves her so maybe he's the key to getting us there. Well there isn't any point in going there anymore since we found King.
"Well why don't we all go outside for some fresh air? We can walk to that field of flowers we saw earlier!" Elizabeth suggested with a smile on her face. I nodded in agreement. It would be nice to relax for a while.
"Alrighty then~ But after that we need to get going~!" Meliodas declared cheerfully as we all got outside and to that field of flowers.
"...Y/n..." That voice...it's Elaine! Why is she communicating with me and not Ban? I wonder...
"Wow the flowers are so pretty~!" I heard Diane giggle as she looked around with Elizabeth by her side as well as Hawk. Meliodas stood close to me and Ban was a few feet ahead of us. The kids were behind us and stayed quiet...could they be-
"Y/n!" Meliodas immediately shouted my name as a wind suddenly began to surround us. Meliodas was holding me close so I wouldn't ve swept away by the wind.
"Be careful!!" The boy shouted as we were transported to some world. The sky looked green and there was many crystals as far as the eye can see. It's all green...what for?
"So this is the Necropolis! Bummer." Hawk whined as Elizabeth looked around with amazement in her eyes.
"I wonder if it was my memories that brought us here?" Elizabeth pondered aloud as I shook my head. The one responsible for sending us here had to be Ban. He wanted to see Elaine again...didn't he?
"Ban wait up!!" Diane suddenly shouted and I realized that Ban started running ahead with no warning. I looked closer and saw a figure floating away. That must be Elaine!
"Oh no you don't! I won't let you escape!!" King was here? How...? He was even chasing after Ban!
"We need to follow them...!" I shouted and looked at Meliodas with a worried expression. King could hurt Ban despite his immortality!
"Alright, let's go~!" And with that we began to chase after them...I hope we will make it in time...
