Chapter 25: THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS

Walking out of a gate that felt like swimming out of a pool of water gave a sense of chill as wind embraced their skin with brute force

Feeling nostalgia about missing their world they all stood and embraced the forsaken city street they had appeared at with FYRE and VERA staring whimsically with amazement forge upon their pretty face.

'Finally we are back, i kinda missed this place after 5 years'

BLADE said with a happy face like some homesick child, he grin and scrub his palms together to warm himself off from the sudden change of weather.

'You mean a month right?'

ESMIL spoke to tease his sense of time lag as he couldnt tell they were gone for just a month.

The sky was grey and the weather felt like it was either going to rain or snow, SNOW had stared at VERA and FYRE and decided to log in one of his cafe before going home.

'Welcome to our world'

SNOW said with a forceful smile, he walked forward and soon was been escorted by everyone, minutes soon came by before getting to one of the nearest Cafe owned by his GUILD.

Upon his arrival and everyone, the staffs all bowed and soon got excited by SNOW and other member presence with SNOW instantly warning the manager not to inform anyone of his presence as he would like to settle some personal issues before anyone knows of his arrival.

His and everyone clothes had all been worn-out with various holes and cut here and there since they had to fight before leaving AMODEUS.

Taking excuse from the VIP room he approached the tablet on the wall and dialed a secret number which rang few seconds before it got connected at the other end.

'It is me, i need 355, oh please also come with 5'

He hanged up after saying what he wanted without letting the other end speak, he walked up to the cafe bar and requested for some chips and drinks which was later brought to them minute later at the VIP room.

VERA and FYRE had become quite impressed by what they see as it was extremely different to what they were accustomed to.

Staring at VERA and FYRE who felt hesitant to eat from the chips or drink the cola present in front of them SNOW spoke ignoring whatever anyone has to say.

'I will say this now and i want everyone to listen, we are back and things will go a lot wrong from this point onward, so listen carefully '

SNOW said sitting on a cushion with RIN AND LIN sandwiching him at their center, he stared at VERA and smiled a little.

'VERA, you and FYRE will go to ORLEANS and wait till i get there and while you wait i want you to meet with ZANIAN, tell her i sent you and she will know what to do'

He said and starred at FYRE while playing with LIN hair who had relaxed her head on his chest with RIN head on his laps.

'FYRE, i already made a promise and i will keep it, all you have to do is just wait till i return to ORLEANS'

'I...trust...i...wait'

She said with a smile and finally took a bite from the crispy chips that blew her mind which made her hand aim for the second round.

'And as for everyone here, i hope you do forgive me, but please, keep everything you have seen and heard to yourself until the right time'

He said with a smile

'Brother, i would like to ask'

MICHAEL spoke staring with concern.

'Why does VERA and FYRE get to go to ORLEANS? Is it because it is safe for species like them?'

SNOW who had heard his question felt a bit numb from lost of words

'Big brother please allow me to say this, MICHAEL i am sure you already know of this, but ORLEANS isnt just a safe zone and neutral zone, it also a place similar to the one we just left, and in other words, until the right time big brother decides to let everyone in on the bigger plan, you are to remain silent and just observe'

ESMIL glared as he wouldn't want MICHAEL  to disobey their elder brother since he was trusted and loved by everyone and must be given the rights he deserved

'I see, you dont have to be blood thirsty about it'

MICHAEL said with fright, he was scared of ESMIL not because she was strong but because he respected her like an elder sister.

'Oh that Reminds Me'

SNOW spoke as if remembering something and had instantly snapped his finger which sounded like an high-tone clap.

Like a magic being performed MICHEAL and everyone's weapon appeared and instantly got converted into glowing gold like cube of various sizes which were mostly few inches different in sizes, seeing those weapons RIN and LIN had felt bad as they were the only ones without weapons.

'I shall hold onto this till we get home and do not worry, i have a surprise for LIN and RIN'

He said and smiled at the two girls whose sad expression disappeared like it never existed with happiness in it place.

He squeezed his hand and the 4 cube joined together to become one giant cube that instantly vanished after it combination, staring at SNOW they all felt surprised with questions brimming their mind but knowing SNOW they soon relaxed and decided it was time to act normal and forget what had happened in AMODEUS knowing fully well it would never be possible.

Hours flew by like it was just a minute ago and it soon became noon, three people had walked into the cafe, two were females and the last was a male who apparently was at the front.

He had a short spiky red hair and wore a body fit black long sleeve shirt which arms were folded up to his elbow and had few of his buttons opened while having it neatly tucked in to his black trousers, which were pulled up to his kneels and let it folds packed at the bottom with a nice black sneaker that made him look more dangerous and handsome, while the girl with the blonde hair had a military like shirt in black and red design and the other with black ponytail in a fancy light kimono that was short up to her thighs could reveal her shoulder down to inbetween her breast and as well her breast surface, as she was with a cute fox like creature that slept on her shoulder.

They approached the cafe counter and stood, their present sent shivers down the attendant spine as he was the only one present.

SNOW and his team soon came out of the VIP room to accept their visitors as the manager soon took his leave since SNOW permitted them to close early.

The three soon rush to SNOW and hugged him from various side leaving no breathing room for him as he appreciate the gesture of being casual around him, they separated after a short sentimental gestures and finally took their seat in front of SNOW.

'We missed you SNOW!, when are you bringing your ass back to the palace?'

The male questioned with unhappiness

'Soon, i will be home soon, just few days more'

'After princess WHITE BIRTHDAY?'

'You sure know how to make the right assumptions'

SNOW smirked at her naughtiness, staring at the girl in military outfit who could not let go of her guard and kept staring at VERA and FYRE just sat and glare with blood lust

'KIRIN what is it that upsets you?'

'Who are these two seated beside you'

She had asked SNOW as she knew both of the ladies were dangerous without being told

'This is VERA and this is QUEEN FYRE, the dragon queen'

'O-oh? A queen? Is she your final pick?'

The male responded with surprise and teasing

'No silly, she is here to be reunited with her younger sister who is currently in this city miles from here, but before her reunion, i would like her to wait at ORLEANS till my arrival'

SNOW said staring at the three but still couldnt get KIRIN to let go of her blood lust

'VERA would undergo her final training with ZANIAN until she is strong to wield PRIDE SIN'

Upon SNOWS words the three that had seated were shocked, among them they knew very well the PRIDE SIN weapon is one of the dangerous weapon no one has ever been able to use, but for SNOW to mention it now means the so called girl called VERA must have potentials.

(The QUEEN after creating ORLEANS KINGDOM, felt it was time to protect her unborn child. Able to extract a blood sample with the help of her sister in law she created 7 weapons infusing hher sons blood into the Gene of 7 people of different SPECIES as each weapon had a link to her son all in  hopes for them to serve his son who was the child of prophecy and who would succeed her throne

The AXE which brings havoc and destruction as it was named WRATH, anyone who wield it has the tendency to undergo transformation to suit the weapons taste.

ENVY is the SPEAR, the one weapon that wishes to be everything and tend to change it shape to what tastes it likes and sometimes toy with the personality of his wielder

The only one with a curve head that gave off a pleasing aura, LUST was it name as it is a SCYTHE, it wishes to experience all the feelings that could be sense; love, hatred, despair, pleasure and even death, those who wield it personality could be called insane as they lose their mind over every little thing.

The DUO DAGGERS called GLUTTONY, since it was made from an AMADEUS blood and flesh it tends to devour everything and anything that comes in contact with it, MANA, BLOOD, LIFE, down to mere food, it changes it wilder personality to suit it's trait as they would constantly feed to fill either their stomach or their MANA.

Having so many wishes and wanting so many desires to be like other blade like itself it became a duo 6 headed blade with form of a SHURIKEN, those who used it ended up having bad reputations, as their GREED gave them the trait to desire excess of what was actually needed, it was the only weapon considered to own enormous amount of MANA.

Not wanting to be the one to do all the work it stays behind and assist the others when it wishes, SLOTH was it name, taking upon the shape of a BOW, although it is lazy but powerful only when it desires, those who wielded it took upon his lazy trait such as laziness and sometimes just sleep when ever he/she likes.

Lastly was the king, a single hand sword, one with great pride of it being worthy to serve the king, one that considers itself the most powerful weapon ever to exist, the only weapon that find man or other race unworthy of its existence, the only weapon that could slice beyond even space and time, his pride that makes the rest of the SINS feel inferior and straighten them if they disrespect their king to be, he was named PRIDE, as those that tried to wield it died instantly after making contact with it and has been in the storage chamber ever since it was created.)

'speaking of which, how is everyone in ORLEANS?'

'Everyone is doing great and having expectations to you arrival, oh that reminds me'

A metal scrubbing on the table could be heard as it was passed to SNOW, it was a small metal box that when opened it releases chilling smokes as if a deep freezer had been opened, apparently it contains new pair of contact lens he had requested.

SNOW had smiled and stared at, KIRIN

'I would like you to pass a message to my aunt, i am sure she is aware of it, but tell her she would be our pickup vehicle so she had better not be late'

'As you wish, your highness'

She smiled and took to her feet, the rest also stood and stared at VERA AND FYRE who were just feeling a little bit reluctant to stand up.

'It is just few more weeks, dont worry i will see you when i arrive'

He said trying to appease them both as they both smiled afterwards and vanished like they were never there.

He smiled and stared at IRIS and the others

'How about we go home?'

He said and they all cheered up with bright smiles, snow had instantly used his contact lens and his eyes had now looked like his fathers own as his black hair became even darker.

Upon returning to his usual self which everyone in DEMIGARD knows of he felt there wasnt any changes aside from his eyes and hair colour which had changed, he had wonder what he would do now that his identity could be easily perceived by his enemies.

Seconds wentby in a blink of an eye with SNOW and everyone back at the apartment, SNOW who was at the front had given a secret code knock which came open after few seconds and to his surprised he was instantly hugged by WHITE

'That is surprising, Did something happened or did you just miss your big brother that much'

SNOW had said as he tried to tease his kid sister who was shivering and scared but wanted to ease the worries and tried to make sure nobody else finds out what was going on with him.

'Both'

WHITE had responded and soon let out tears she had been suppressing all the time, her sudden burst of tears gave a shivering emotion down the spine of everyone present while trying to be consoled by her brother.

Everyone who had returned had looked a bit matured to the rest and looked more reliable, aside from their clothes which made them look like people wondering  here and there with tarted clothes and all, they all looked more refined, on the other hand RIN and LIN had gained few heights which made them look older,

LIN AND RIN had looked older, at a stern looks they are no different from an 11 year old children. Feeling dumb struck by the new appearance the rest of the guild members all stood in amazement before accepting welcoming hugs and hand shakes before the door finally went shut.

They all went to their rooms to rest for the day at SNOWS command as they were to gather for a conference meeting the following day to exchange information and understand what they had missed within the period of time.

WHITE who had find it all so difficult had slept over at his brothers room who had decided to let her kid sister sleep over, after all he needed to spoil her since her birthday was around the corner and he also needed to make sure his plans are in motion.

Staring at his sister who was fast asleep while sitting on the chair beside the bird in front of the table beside it, he soon found a piece of smile which felt like an amusement to have his sister sleep over.

After a short while he stood up and adjusted the duvet properly in other to make sure she wasnt going to be cold while soon sitting on the floor and leaning his back on the wood supporting the bed.

Finding what he was looking for he stare at the scar at his right hand and smiled as if thanking his star for making it out alive of the dungeon.

He kept at it and and kept feeling a bit of amusement and thankfulness of surviving and at the same time realizing how strong he had gotten and now glad he could pass on the power to a next person as promised.

Leaning his head backwards he stare at the ceiling and decided to let his eyes embrace a bit of darkness only to be possessed by sleep and never to awake till the given time.

****

Morning came like a spring in a year with the meeting that commenced and ended like it never happened, SNOW had felt he needed to speak with his kid sister as they both went into a private room in the building located underneath the house.

There SNOW was briefed on everything that happened and to his surprise he was given two JOURNAL wrapped in a red leather cover that had aged a little with few wrinkles seen here and there, they were handwritten, one was with a title 'AMODEUS', and the other was with a title '7 DEADLY SINS WEAPON'.

Staring at his kid sister he felt confused and wondered why two of their father WRITTEN journal was sent to them by their AUNT.

'Base on what you told me so far, there isnt anything to read on the First JOURNAL, the AMODEUS became special the day it was foreseen that the child of prophecy would be born there, and when a king sits upon his throne, the throne follows him/her wherever he/she may go.'

She said while seated, the entire room was illuminated with lights from the edges of the floor and the ceiling making the room feel like a scene out from sci-fic movie.

'You are my brother, and the king to be, i am sure your memories has all returned to you which is why it would be best you read the SECOND JOURNAL '

WHITE said as she felt there was more to know about the 7 DEADLY SINS weapon their mother had created, SNOW who had felt eager to read the JOURNAL soon flick over it pages and notice a page had been torn out

'Why is a page missing?'

SNOW asked while having a feeling WHITE had tore it out as there was something she didn't want him to see

'You will find out when we get back to ORLEANS, but for now i cant have you rewrite reality for my sake after you and AURORA had endured so much this past few years'

SNOW had felt reluctant, he trusted his kid sister and didnt even bother to argue with her as he had read the entire journal aside from just that page while he had flicked it pages moment ago.

Standing up from his chair he smiled and walked towards WHITE, he patted her head and walked away only to be held by the tusk of his sleeve, to his surprised his kid sister had stood up and clinch to him, he was happy he finally got to spend quality time with his kid sister for the first time in 5 years.

The entire day went by like breeze with SNOW and WHITE always together with everyone joining at their desired time.

Wishing to know how to stay sane he began to remember all he had read, he knew the SEVEN DEADLY SINS serves him and he had met everyone of them at an early age, all except GLUTTONY and PRIDE, he wondered why he was yet to meet GLUTTONY and why WHITE had tore the GLUTTONY page out as well, he knew the stories behind PRIDE but never has he for ones heard of stories about GLUTTONY.

he knew very well the SEVEN DEADLY SINS were linked to him and sometimes share in their personality, he had ignored everything as he had decided to join his kid sister to share the weapons he had promised them after a long thought.
