On our way
For the past few days I've been walking, every once in a while a nice person would come and help me rest my feet. During this, I ask if they've heard about the pop-up tavern run by the little boy. The couple that picked me up says they've heard about it, even stopped in to have a drink.
"The Ale there was wonderful, but the waitress was a bit clumsy."
"What did she look like?"
"Tall, thin, grey hair that covers one of her eyes."
*L, thank heavens you're safe. I feel the heavy disappears, knowing L is alright makes me even more edger to find them. "I overheard saying they were going north, towards the forest of white dreams." Looking around I can't see any real dense forests. Must not be here anymore. Thanking them for the ride, I see a sign for the up town, Dalmally. "Maybe I can get some food there and a place to sleep for the night."
Third POV:
Meliodas lays facedown on the dirt after his fight with Gilthunder, shoulder stained with blood, clothes cut clean. "Why din't we finish this another time, K?" Gilthunder draws his sword, leaping towards Meliodas but he's quick on his feet. As they fight, they both land in front of Diane, Gilthunder holds his sword up to Meliodas neck. "This is goodbye."
"See yeah."
Before anything can be done, he's lifted in the air by an angered Diane, "The captain said some other time!" Her hand is shocked as she throws into the air, far away from all of them, as he's flying though, Meliodas waves his hand to home. "Hey thanks! Nice throw there...Whoa, that brace is broken." Diana looks sad by what has happened, in the distance the clacking of hooves can be heard, which belongs to a now angered Hawk. "Hey! You got a lot of guts, kicking me around like some pink bounce ball!"
"The two of you weren't hurt were you?" Elizabeth's tries her best to calm down Hawk, everyone is alright and most importantly safe. Elizabeth now really notice just how deep the injury is really on Meliodas's shoulder. He waves her off saying this is nothing, both not aware how red Diana's face is getting from jealousy. We can now hear Hawk complain about his own injuries, Elizabeth offers to put a compress on him, over joyed he leaps to her lap, crying between his thank you's to her.
Elizabeth's POV:
Back in the tavern, Hawk relishes from the heat coming from the compress on his back, he ask if it's true that I knew that Holy Knight, nodding I remember seeing him as an older brother. He watched over my sister Margaret and even after the death of this father he still continued to serve us. I can't understand his actions. Lost in my thoughts a memory flashes when I was still in the castle, that starters me.
"It can't be, father was arrested by-"
"What's wrong? Are you okay?"
"...There's not going back to how things were is there..."

Meliodas's POV:
"Apparently Ban, the sin of greed was thrown behind bars and King the sin of Sloth is all ready dead and buried by now. Think any of it's true?"
"Well I'm not really sure, after all I'm not really interested in any other man but you; still the important things is look what a sexy babe I am. A lot can happen in 10 years can't it?"
"But that's just a drawing, it's all made up." Leaping off her, and hearing her whine, Hawk and Elizabeth come over. "Alright, I've decided. First up we should go to Baste Prison and grab Ban."
Diane is pleased with my idea, Hawk questions my statements but, Elizabeth bursts out behind me. "I don't think you should do this! For now, tending to your injuries should be our top priority. In your condition facing off with another Holy Knight could mean..."
Seeing how worried she is, I go to my "happy place" mumbling something, she doesn't tense up or really react to what I've done. Patting her forehead, I tell her this is nothing, and not to worry about me. "A little sleep and I'm good to go, goodnight."

Eve's POV:
Making it to the town of Dalmally I was able to find a place to sit and eat. I people watched, the happy smiles, the families, how the little kids would chase each other. I miss that... As I went to grab my cup, the liquid rippled. "What is going on?" Soon after I get my answer by people running and screaming. I heard one of them yell about a giant lady, giant lady?
