Third person POV-

"It's tight in here!"

"Stop pushing!"

"I wasn't pushing you were pushing~"

"ShUt Up!" Meliodas whisper yelled at the fairy, human, and ambiance shrunken giant crawling on their hands and knees behind him.
"Tell me do you want them to hear us?!"

"No"

"No, sorry"

"To be honest that would be- ouch!" Ban was about to say something really stupid so king kicked him. Which he could since he was crawling just in front of Ban.

"If you-" Meliodas was about to put them in their place again but then they heard voices.

"Meliodas....king....don't deserve....bastard" the voice was muffled through the wall but meliodas was a demon so his hearing was a bit better and he was easily able to figure out that the voice belonged to Bellion.

"What's he saying?~"

"shhhhhh" everyone shushed Ban at the same time.

"Goddess....kill her" Bellion continued to speak, but those words nearly had Meliodas busting out and killing him right then and there.
He knew what he had said even if he couldn't hear every word....he, or somebody else was planning to kill his goddess...to kill Elizabeth.

"We should get moving" Elizabeth whispered. She had a bad feeling about the voices too. But unlike meliodas she refused to dwell on it, staying alive wasn't her priority, her priority was to free liones.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"Am I the only one who doe actually wanna go out there?" Diane said just as Elizabeth was gonna head out of the secret tunnel and out into the castle's hallway.

It became quiet in the tunnel until meliodas spoke up.
"None Of us wants to. I think that all of us wish e didn't have to fight to end this, but it's the reality, it's what needs to be done to end this...so every thing can go back to normal..."

"But Diane...everyone.." Elizabeth now began. "We're not gonna make you do anything, it's okay to back up if you feel like you can't do it"

"No" Diane said, still with quivering voice. "I'll do this...I...I'll at least be remembered as someone who tried"

"Diane... don't make it sound like you'll die..." king said sadly.

"I wont die... I'll try as hard not to die as I will to keep everyone else here alive"

Elizabeth's mind what blank. Shouldn't that be her Job?
'Like when i healed my friends during the holy w- wait what?' She thought.
Where did those thoughts come from? She didn't remember the holy war! So how did she know her role in it?
She shook her head, emptying her mind of such thoughts.
"Let's go"

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"Okay you'll think I'm crazy but-" meliodas started just as they all made it out in the hallway where they were lucky to only find one red demon that meliodas finished in a good 0.2 seconds.
But he was cut off by Ban.

"Buddy it's never a good idea to start a sentence like that"

"...sure, but listen, the only member of the six knights of black that's left is Bellion, and he's mine, so I think we sound split up again, I know you're all able to take on the other demons on your own"

"You... you really think so?" Diane asked.

"I do, I know that you're strong, I've seen it myself....you're kings and queens, trust me, the demons left don't stand a chance"
