3rd POV

Once arriving at Istar, the group walked across the grass but all the could be seen was pillars of rock and no one around. When walking through on specific pillar, they were lead to the secret Holy Land of the Druids. It was a beautiful area covered in nature and pillars with a thin pieces of Earth connected two pieces of land.
"This is amazing!" Hawk explained.
"How exactly does this work?" Slader asked.
"It's a type of gate that leads to this place. However, to pass through it, you need the spell caster's permission." Merlin explained.
"By that logic, Big Sister, if the gate's open, then..."
"Somebody's there!" Hawk pointed out. Ahead of the group were three people, one male, and two female. One of the girls wore a long white dress and had brown hair braided behind her, while the other had blonde hair and a short red dress. The person in the middle was a large man with brown hair.
"That's correct! We were aware of your arrival." The blonde said.
"Who are they?" Slader asked.
"The Druid Chiefs." (Y/n) answered.
"It's been a while Seven Deadly Sins and Demon Princess!" The blonde greeted.
"You sure are humongous, Chief. I'm Hawk! The star and master of the Seven Deadly Sins! I'm the captain of the Order of Scraps Disposal." Hawk introduce until suddenly a wooden stick was put up his nose by the blonde girl.
"I'm the chief! Lady Jenna and...my younger sister, Zaneri!"
"Y-you mean these two little girls are the Druid chiefs?" Hawk asked while Jenna continued to play with his nose. "Then who's this old guy?"
"I'm the priest in charge of protecting our chiefs. My name is Theo. " The man said a sweet voice unbefitting his large size.
"Yo, Theo! You really bulked up, huh?" Meliodas said.
"Yes, Sir Meliodas. I'm 15 now, after all!"
"You're 15?!" Hawk exclaimed.
"This pig is so amusing!" Jenna said pulling on Hawk's ears.
"You haven't changed at all, have you Jenna." (Y/n) giggled as she watched her play with Hawk and then turned her attention to Zaneri. "It's nice to see you again Zaneri." (Y/n) smiled but she only turned her head to look away making (y/n) sweatdrop. 'She hasn't changed either I see. She still doesn't like me for some reason.' (Y/n) thought.
"Yo, Zaneri! We're still a couple of shorties, aren't we?" Meliodas greeted. Zaneri grabber Meliodas' hand and brought it to her chest while holding it like it was something precious.
"Meliodas. I'm happy to see you again."
"Okay, that's benighted greets." Meliodas said pulling his hand away. "The reason we came here today-."
"We know you're purpose for coming to the Holy Land." Jenna interrupted holding Hawk as he struggled to break free.
"That makes things easier. I'd expect no less of the Druid Chief." Merlin said.
"By the way Merlin. Are the people just standing over there your comrades?" Jenna asked referring to Gowther and Arthur who stood alone and away from the others.
"Yes."
"If you're ready Meliodas, let's go to the tower on the right." Zaneri said.
"Sure."
"And you as well." Zaneri said referring to Elizabeth.
"Me? What for?" Elizabeth asked.
"Everything's moving so quickly, I can't keep up. To think that they not only knew we were coming, but out purpose, as well." Slader said as he watched Meliodas, Elizabeth, and Zaneri walk away.
"The Druids are known to use mysterious spells." King said. With Meliodas and Elizabeth, Zaneri has dragged them into a dark cave where it was hard to see.
"My power is inside this place?"
"Yes." Zaneri said coming to a stop. "You'll go through a trial now, Meliodas. Whether we return your power will depend on the result."
"Oh? In short, I just have to complete this trial, right?" Meliodas asked.
"It will be very painful and difficult for you. I'm very worried about whether or not you can take it." Zaneri said worriedly but Meliodas just looked excited.
"When you say that, it motivates me even more! I'll gladly face any sort of trial!" Despite not wanting to, Zaneri began to cast the spell to begin Meliodas' trial. Her body began to glow a white light and she was speaking another language.

Meliodas' Mind

When Meliodas opened his eyes he saw a market place but he still couldn't help but ask the question: where was he? He looked down at his outfit and then up at the flags on the castle realizing just what they meant. He was in Danafor
"Hey, I've been looking for you Meliodas." A familiar voice said. Meliodas turned around shocked to see (y/n), his (y/n). "What's up with you Meliodas. Come on we have some shopping to do, remember." (Y/n) said grabbing his wrist and dragging him further into town.
"That Zaneri, what does she think she's doing, showing me something like this?"
"Meliodas, are you sure you're okay? You've been acting weird. You're not sick are you?"
"For a hallucination, you look pretty real!" Meliodas threw off his gloves and began groping her chest from behind. "Feel real too."
"Well that answers my question." (Y/n) said with her eyebrows twitching in anger. "You're perfectly fine!" She yelled elbowing his face.
"You're such a moron." A bird with a necklace in its mouth said.
"Wandle!
"You know what. I think I'm done for the day. Let's go home."
"Right." They walked home together where (y/n) went straight to cooking dinner since obviously Meliodas couldn't.
"Is that dinner? Wandle's dinner?" The bird asked.
"Sorry but this is for Meliodas." The night continued in the illusion and Meliodas began to think it was real. Hugging (y/n) in his arms made it feel real. Was it real?
Of course that happiness was ruined when the scene suddenly changed. They weren't indoors anymore. It was raining and Meliodas was hugging a weak and dying (y/n) in his arm.
"(Y/n)?" Meliodas called pulling away. He examined the way she looked. Her eyes were closed, blood trailed down her lips, and there was a large gaping hole in her stomach. Before he knew it Meliodas was losing control and then he was back to where he started, in the market place.
