The Demon's Lover (Meliodas)

Chapter 18

"Hey, Captain..." Diane speaks up "Are you sure you comprehend the King's vision?"

"Yeah, yeah, no sweat. I got it" Meliodas replies looking forward with his hands behind his head.

"He was just saying that something big might happen over in Camelot, right?" Merlin questions.

Suddenly the ground shakes uncontrollably and a massive amount of magical energy was released. 

"NOWAAAAH!" Hawk screeches and runs around in a circle, "AN EARTHQUAKE?!

"The tremors seem to be resonating from the east..." Merlin says

"Wh-What is this?!" Diane asks

"THE END OF THE WORLD!!?" Hawk questions in horror "So this is how it's gonna go down?"

Ayano's eyes suddenly glowed dark red and demonic energy started surrounding her, she falls her to knees and holds her head.

"Ayano!" Meliodas shouts quickly turning to her, he points his fingers at her "Restrain!"

LaLuna glows and Ayano covers her face. Meliodas keeps it active until the tremors stopped, then he bent down to her and places his hands on her shoulders.

"Aya" Meliodas calls to her softly

"I-I'm ok" Ayano says moving her hands, her eyes were no longer dark red

Meliodas gets back on his feet and picks her up "Let's head back to the tavern"

"...they've awoken haven't they?" Ayano mumbles into his chest

"Yeah" Meliodas confirms as he begins walking

They all make it back to the tavern, Gowther heads off somewhere as does Merlin, Diane says she's off to help the villagers and leaves as well. Meliodas heads upstairs to the bedroom and sits Ayano on the be.

"Meliodas I'm alright now" Ayano tells him

"I know, I just don't want you outside right now" Meliodas kisses her cheek "the demonic energy is still very massive right now, I just don't want you to lose control. When it goes down we can go back outside when you want, alright?

"mhm" Ayano nods sadly

"Ayano" Meliodas looks her in the eyes "I love you, and we're going to handle this, I promise"

"I know" Ayano holds his hand "I love you too"

The next day, Meliodas and Ayano are cleaning up the tavern when the door opens. They look up to see Elizabeth.

"Oh, what's up, Elizabeth! What business does the Princess have in a bar like this?" Meliodas asks

"Um, I wanted to speak with you" Elizabeth smiles

"We're a little busy right now... Maybe later?" Meliodas smiles ""f your dad finds out that you're here, he's gonna pop a vein in his head"

"I can handle him yelling at me, don't worry" Elizabeth replies

"I personally wouldn't want the king yelling at me but I guess his daughters are different" Ayano jokes

Elizabeth giggles "Possibly"

"So what did you want?" Ayano asks as she places a rag over her shoulder

"You're going to be leaving for Camelot soon, right?" Elizabeth asks

"yep" Ayano replies

"Then, I'm going to start making preparations to leave as well" Elizabeth declares and Ayano sighs
