City of Few (Seven Deadly Sins x Reader)

Chapter 7; Legends' Quest Begins

...3 days later...
We decided that we will wait to leave, as it would benefit as and have them far enough away so we'll have a greater chance to not run into them.

I walked through the streets grabbing food for the road, suddenly hollering rang out through the streets. People either ran to the streets or retreated into the buildings. I stood in the crowd of people looking at these 'foreign' men... my people. I didn't expect them to be here this soon, Damn drunk. The symbol of a royal guard sat proudly across there chest plates, a low growl leaves my throat. My fist tightens by my side, as my cloak hung loosely around my shoulders. One guard looked in my direction and I looked at his grey toned blue skin, his pale brown eyes as he  looked at my small figure, his white hair was long and pulled into a lose ponytail.
I had forgotten how pale and grey toned my people were, the lack of sunlight and the little amount of sleep was always obvious. His face had sunburnt and peeled slightly, I knew it hurt his skin. From the lack of water and the surface sun soaked up all the moisture so fast. My cloak help keep the sun out and hid me well.

When they passed I walked down the street and as soon as no one was around I ran, I ran back to the Boar Hat. My magic sparking around me, I opened a canister, water from around me filled it. "Just in case." I say as I stop, my feet dug into the soil as I came to a quick stop. Diane, looked at me and tilted her head.
"Why the rush?" She said picking me up.
"T-They're here..." I say out of breath, my hands rested on my knees.
"Captain!" Diane yelled, still holding me. "They're here!"
"Okie dokie, Diane!" He said poking his head out of the door and smiled. The ground started to shake and my eyes widen. Diane puts me down and stood next to the, now, giant pig. The bar started to raise from the ground and I looked over the edge starting to feel dizzy, I'd never been this high in my life. I held onto the Boar Hat's railing and walked inside, Hawk walks outside and starts talking about "his mom" I didn't understand.

After an hour I start to get used to the flying thing, I sat at a table talking with Meliodas, King, Elizabeth, Gowther, and Ban. I haven't really talked to Elizabeth or Gowther much because I just didn't know how to approach them. Elizabeth was always talking with Melodias and Hawk. But Gowther was different something about him... unnerved me, I couldn't quite place it but be seemed more disconnected with reality.
"Listen, if you truly want to help me then we need to head to a meadow of darkness first. It's a meadow that is hidden deep in a forest that has the properties to allow your lungs to filter the oxygen from the water particles." I state sitting back.
"Where is this meadow of darkness?"

"All I know is the legend behind it, it goes. Between the sunset and the brightest star, in a swamp surrounded by mountains, a wooden cabin sits with a guard. The guard and his companions, made a village to protect the special plant from any who tries to harm the kingdom." I finish and sigh.
"So it's in the northwest... in a Valley... with a swamp settled in it. Probably a town." Meliodas thinks aloud.
"What are you thinking, Captain?" Ban sighs leaning against the wall.
"I think I know where this is, it's a smaller town not to far from here, closer to the shore. But I wouldn't say it's Northwestern..." he says trailing off.
"Maybe from my home land it would be?" I shrugged, "It's a start, it can't hurt to try."

Meliodas nods and walks outside, I merely sit there. I find myself lost in my own thoughts, before I knew it was dark outside and I was still just thinking about how far I've come since I was finally chased out of the ruins. I was brought back to reality when King tapped my head. I stood and went outside seeing a small village of people, a smile curved onto my face as I stared down that the houses. "This has to be it." I mumble quietly.

HI, sorry for the shorter chapter I wanted to but I have a tad bit of writers block and my state is at home arrest "officially" so now I have no choice but to be productive with something. I hope you all stay well and don't forget to wash your hands, avoid people and become an introvert!
