Never Forgotten (Sariel x Reader)

The Ten Commandments were on the move to reigning over Brittania. They each split off into groups of at least 2 to regain their power for the upcoming battles ahead. After all, being stuck for 3000 years makes you rusty and low on magical power.

Back with the Seven Deadly Sins, King floated back to everyone with Y/n sleeping upon his Chastiefol. Everyone had already started grouping together after the failure of not being able to find her but sighed in relief once they found her safe and sound, sleeping away. 

"That trial and training must've done it for her," Meliodas said, looking at her peaceful form. "She looks knocked out cold."

"Is Lady Y/n okay?" Elizabeth asked, looking at her with worry in her eyes.

"She'll be just fine."

King looked down at Y/n and nodded. This is the most peaceful he's seen a person sleeping, other than Diane, of course. 

"Say King, where did you find her? And how did she end up on your Chastiefol?" Meliodas quirked a brow.

"I found her near the river behind some boulders. I put her on my Chastiefol because sleeping on the ground is not good for your body, and we need everyone in their best condition to look for Diane." King said, adding the last part on the whim so he didn't seem suspicious.

"Huh... alright." The Captain shrugged. He looked at Elizabeth and asked her, "So how did you do on your trial?"

She smiled brightly and said, "I completely failed."

Both of them deadpanned.

"You failed?"

"I failed.."

"...Completely?"

"Completely."

Everyone came together at the entrance of Istar, ready to say goodbye to each other.

"Thank you for everything, Jenna. And you too, Zaneri!" Meliodas told them, smiling.

"Yeah sure. Come again anytime," Jenna said.

"Meliodas..." Zaneri started.

King was floating above everyone, looking down at everyone exchanging goodbyes. His brows furrowed a bit. Chastiefol was beside him, still carrying a sleeping Y/n. He didn't mind her much when she was sleeping, she was a deep sleeper at the moment. He was worried because she wasn't moving much, but he could still see the rising and falling of her chest as she breathed, signaling to him she was, in fact, alive.

"You're acting quite strange, Harlequin." Helbram's voice spoke through the small helmet attached to King's hoodie. "What happened inside that cave anyway?"

"Nothing did," King said softly, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Your road to redemption will be hard, but don't lose sight of who you are," Jenna said to Hendrickson, patting his chest with a smile. He nodded in response.

"Thank you for everything."

"Of course, now go and save the world!"

The group left Istar. Meliodas had to drag Hawk out by his ear, but all was well. King touched Chastiefol to make the pillow bigger so he could lay on it. 

"I'm surprised you haven't kicked her off," Helbram said.

"Tch. I'm not that heartless."

Meliodas looked down at Hawk and inspected him a bit before asking, "Can you tell how and why you ended up like that?"

Hawk looked quite similar, except his legs, backside, head, and ears were red and scaly, and on top of his head sat two white horns.

"It's a long story. But in a nutshell, a tyrant dragon tried swallowing me whole, so I decided to scarf it up right back! Then I ended up like this!"
