An Unknown Bond [Zeldris x OC]

Ch. 5 - Istar and the Ten Commandments

A/N: Hey again! I just thought I'd make something clear beforehand: It's my own idea that neither Meliodas, Yami (You) or the other demons have barely aged. I did this on purpose and if it's not following the actual facts, then it's because it's only a fanfiction. I just wanted to make this clear before I confuse anyone. Thanks and keep reading! :)

Chapter 5 - Istar and the Ten Commandments
"Sir Meliodas?" Arthur asks surprised when we arrive in Istar, right in the middle of Meliodas' group. "Lady Elizabeth and..." he stops when he sees all the other people around us. "What are you all doing here?"

"Well then, well then, well then. See you again so quickly" Meliodas smirks at Arthur. "Glad to see you found them so quickly" he says to me then.

"You can always count on me" I say and take a look around Meliodas' friends. They all look at us in confusion and I know that Meliodas hasn't told them the truth yet. Also, two of them are missing. "Meliodas, where are Ban and Diane?"

"Long story" Meliodas answers and rubs the back of his head. "But they will be back soon."
I grit my teeth but say nothing as I glare at him angrily. How could he let his friends leave in such a time of danger?!

"What does he want here?" I hear King shout in anger as he looks at Hendrickson, who stands behind us, and forms his Chastiefol into a weapon that stops right before Hendrickson.
"King no!" I shout as I walk closer to Hendrickson to defeat him if neccessary.

"Please" Hendrickson says as he kneels down in front of everyone. "I know I can't be forgiven for my sins but I wasn't myself. I'm here to make things right again." He looks up at King and then stands up slowly. "You can punish me after we've ended this war."

"What war?" King glares at him.

"Meliodas..." I plead him sternly and look at him concerned. "It's about time."

"You haven't told them yet?" Jenna shouts at Meliodas' stupity. "Yet you brought them all here with you. What kind of leader are you?"

"Thank you, Jenna" I chuckle as I sit down on a fallen tree trunk, ready to watch the scenery.

"Sir Meliodas, what is this Lady Jenna talks about?" Elizabeth asks with concern in her eyes. Meliodas looks at me and I nod at him encouraging.

"Okay, okay" Meliodas says as he goes to sit down next to me. "You sure have heard about the Holy War happening 3.000 years ago."

"Why yes. But I thought those were just rumors" Elizabeth says. Meliodas tries to not look up at her as pain fills his eyes as he remembers how he lost his beloved one for the very first time and the curse that got laid upon them. It seems like 3.000 years of pain and suffering overwhelm him and I see him start to tremble.

"By now we should know they're not just rumors" says Hendrickson, referring to his attempt to free the demons from the 3,000-year-old seal. "As you know, it was mine, no, the goal of the demon within me, to break the divine seal."

Hendricksons words help Meliodas to catch himself again and he continues Hendricksons story. "It seems the seal got broken by now, which means that they're back."

"It was Dreyfus" Hendrickson interrupts Meliodas and begins to tell us the story about how a demon took possession of the bodies and spirits of Dreyfus and Hendrickson so many years ago.

"So this means you never really wanted to do what you did" I say and already regret not being able to keep my mouth shut.

"You are right, Lady Yami. I tried to free myself but the power of the demon was too strong."
