chapter two Old memories

Regular thoughts

Chiron thoughts

After getting everyone situated in the boar hat we started traveling. Ban took over Elizabeth's room so Meli is sharing his bed with her after being tied up by Hawk. Diane obviously had to sleep outside and me... I usually fall asleep somewhere and end up waking with one of the other's. It's weird. But back to traveling. We've just arrived at a place called the necropolis that was apparently haunted. "Are you sure I wasn't navigating cause this looks like a dump," I said on top of Hawks mom. "I'll say. How'd a rundown village get a name like that," Hawk asked.

"Rumor has It this should be the place that's closest to it," Meli answered. "We'll start by gathering info on the necropolis. We also need money to feed ourselves so let's open up the tavern," Meli said jumping off Hawks mom so she can Barry herself to the point only the tavern is showing. How does she breath down there, I thought confused. "What do you know the captain really does serve the drinks," Ban said casually. "Better then him in the kitchen," I said putting up the hood of my cloak. "And I'm gonna put all you guys to work to. Bring in some customers billboard girl," Meli ordered Diane who looked ecstatic. "Ban you'll be our cook," Meli continued.

"Are you you sure you want this guy handling the food," Hawk said skepticaly. "Trust me his cooking is over five stars! Except when I tamper with it," I finished only to be punched out into the ground. "So it was you who was messing with my food!" Ban said angry. "And finally Norihc will be on trash duty," Meli finished while I pulled my head out of the ground. "Screw that!" I yelled. "I wanna help out to," Elizabeth said. "Okay But Don't overwork yourself since you're still recovering," Meli said. As he said this I noticed Ban walking away so I decided to use erase and follow him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is boring! All Ban has been doing is walking around the village. We turned a corner and saw a blonde girl but what was strange is the look of suprise and recognition he had before she collapsed. Ban immediately went to her side to make sure she's okay while I followed. "Hey are you Okay," Ban said while kneeling down and shaking her gently. She looked slowly opened her eyes and was suprised to see Ban holding her. "You let her go!" A voice yelled. We turned and saw a boy with brown hair holding a pitchfork.

"Now is that any way to speak to an adult," Ban said indifferent. "Shut up!" The kid yelled holding the pitchfork tighter. "Tell me has she been getting enough food?" Ban questioned which surprised me. Ban isn't normally this kind. "I said shut up! Now leave before I kill you!" The kid yelled. "Like I asked. Has she been getting enough food?" Ban said still straight faced. The kid looked hesitant before charging and stabbing him in the side. But immediately regretted it when his sister explained what he was doing. "Oh no... how will my sins ever be forgiven," that made me look down in thoughts but looked up when Ban spoke while taking out the pitchfork.

"Trust me. A sin is something you'll never be able to take back," Ban said only to be stabbed by a spear through the chest. "You seem to know a lot about that Ban," a boy laying on the spear said. I deactivated my erase and asked calmly "Who are you?" "Ah Norihc you're here too. Well who I am doesn't matter. What does matter though-" He said jumping up and floating in place. Suddenly the spear started spinning enlarging the hole before going right through him. "-you're undead Ban. The Fox sin of greed," He said before facing towards me. "And you are the other half of the crow sin of apathy. Norihc the unseen," he said smirking.

"Okay Who are you? And what do you know about us?" Ban said aggressive. "I know your sins," The boy said making me and Ban tense up. "you Ban to satisfy your greed and gain eternal life you killed the holy woman of the fountain of youth," though Ban looked stoic I could tell he was pissed. He then turned towards me. "And Norihc... your sin is accepting the help of a demon in order to survive. Turning you into a killer that knows nothing but apathy," he finished pissing me off.

Suddenly Ban jumped up behind the boy ready to punch him. "I said Who are you!" Ban yelled punching only for him to dodge. While they kept fighting I decided to try for help. Come on Chiron! Please fight him for me! Awaiting orders from master. You're pervert of a master isn't here so please listen!Awaiting orders from master. Screw you! I thought back at him.

Only to be interrupted by Meli hitting Ban on the head with a cup. "Hey captain could you but out I'm busy," Ban said saddened. "What's The matter with you. Think you could skip out on work," Meli scolded before turning to me. "And Norihc you shouldn't follow Bans example," he said. "I would have done it anyway," I said shrugging. "Besides we should worry about the basturd up there," I said pointing at the mystery guy.

"Okay What's all the commotion," Diane said walking up to us and looking at the floating boy. Suddenly both Meli and Diane yelled "king!" Surprising both me and Ban. "Tell me how the hell is that shrimp supposed to be king!" Ban yelled. "Maybe he lost a little weight," Meli suggested. "A little! The basturd was as big as Hawks mom! No way he lost that much!" I yelled pissed. "King it's good to see you. We've been looking for you and now you're here. I'm so happy," Diane said smiling. Only for king to fly away not even acknowledging her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While the others brought those kids from before to the tavern I decided to stay back and think. I did hear what they said though
Short flash back
"Hey Ban," Diane said walking along side ban. "Is Norihc Okay?" She asked concerned. "The basturd Just said something he shouldn't. He'll be fine,"
Flash back end
I decided to sit in the field by the cliff and have a chat with myself.... literally. Hey Chiron... what was my life like before we connected? Unknown. Why did you choose me? I didn't choose. Who did? Master. Meliodas or a different master? Only one master. Why is Meliodas your master. Not allowed to answer. Please? Not allowed to answer.

I would have continued but I heard people approaching. "Even if this necropolis place really exists there's no way to get there," I heard Hawk say as they approach the clearing. "Sir Norihc why are you crying," Elizabeth asked when she saw me. I didn't even realize I was. "Bugs got in my eyes," I lied wiping my tears. "Well I was thinking," Meliodas said rubbing his chin. "If the necropolis is the land of the dead why not just die?" Meliodas suggested. "That's stupid," is all I said.

"Share memories precious to the dead," Elizabeth said catching everyone's attention. "I'd love to meet my mother! When my mother died I was to young to remember," Elizabeth said joyous. "That rules you out then," Hawk said disappointed. "I guess you're right. I don't have any shared memories with her," she said looking down so I patted her pack for comfort. "Elizabeth come here! Look at all these cute flowers!" Diane yelled catching our attention. We walked over to her and Ban where I was only to see it changed from A barren to filled with  pink roses. What happened.

"What kind are they?" Elizabeth asked. "Who cares about a bunch of dumb flowers," Hawk said walking over to a flower and blowing on it. All of a sudden the petals started swarming us till we could barely see. When it stopped I was amazed. Gone was the village and what replaced it was a landscape teaming with green crystals. "Is this the necropolis?" I questioned out loud. "Must be," Meli responded. "Do you think it was my wish to meet my mother," Elizabeth asked. All of a sudden Ban started running with king following. "What do we do?" Diane asked. "Follow the basturd," I yelled going after him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You're back again huh phony king," Ban said as I caught up. "Still think I'm fake huh," King said not noticing me so I decided to use erase and listen. "Yep," "no I really am King," he stated. "I'm a busy man so shoo," Ban said impatient Before running past him with me and king following. "You haven't changed at all. As long as you get what you want you don't care who gets hurt," he stated. Suddenly Ban stopped and tried to grab king multiple times but failed at kings dodging. "So you really are king," "told ya," "then I won't have to hold back when I kick your ass!" He yelled back handing only to hit kings pillow. "Before you continue," I said reappearing making them turn towards me.

"I want to know how you know my sin," I said glaring at king who looked stoic. "I was there when Merlin gave you that ring. I was going to ask her a question when I heard her talking-"

Flash back third POV
King was about to open the door too Merlin's workshop but he stopped when he heard her voice "so it's happening more often now," she said scrolling through a book while Norihc sat criss cross in a magic circle with his back to the door. On his back was a symbol in black energy resembling a key.

King looked through the keyhole and was suprised to see the symbol. A demon! He thought. "I keep randomly switching body's. And it's not always body's sometimes it's just the mind," Norihc stated. "Hmm. Peculiar but I may have something that can help," Merlin said floating a jar to her hands containing a ring. "This is Duo anima mea," Merlin said taking out the ring. "I normally use it when studying souls but I am willing to let you have it in exchange for a few favors," Merlin said handing it to Norihc.

"How is this supposed to help?" Norihc said confused. "That ring is a magic tool I created that increases ones affinity with souls. By wearing it you should be able to keep the demon soul inside of you stable along with your own," she said. Norihc put on the ring and the mark on his back disappeared.

"Thank you Merlin. I'll be sure to repay you," He said standing up and walking towards his shirt. As he was tying on his cloak Merlin suddenly asked "what was Chirons reaction to this," making Norihc freeze. "Like how he reacts to everything. Nothing,"
Flash back end Norihc's POV
"And So I Did research on the name Chiron. Turns out he was a legendary demon known for showing nothing but apathy. And so I put the dots together and realized that you're not the sin of apathy Norihc. It's really Chiron," King said. I looked at my ring before answering "You're right and wrong," I said. "And what am I wrong about?" King said confused. "We both bear the sin of apathy. I bear it because I felt no remorse for anything I did while serving the demons. I didn't even feel thankful that I was alive. I was just a husk with no emotions or memory before Chiron. It was not till I left to travel with Meliodas that I felt anything. And the first thing I felt... guilt. Guilt For not remembering those in my past life. So that is why I am the sin of apathy. Not the demon inside," I stated proudly clenching my fist.

"Quiet The tail. But I have no desire of revenge towards you," suddenly Kings pillow changed into a bear and grabbed each of Bans limbs. "After we were sentenced to treason I had no where else to go but my homeland. But what I found was the ashes. And when I was in the sins with you I never gave it much thought. As to why a human like you is unkillable. But never did I think you killed the guardian to drink from the fountain," King explained. "Hold on how do you know about her?" Ban questioned suprised.

"Because the guardian was my sister!" King said grabbing Ban by the collar. "Oh I see you wanna kill me for revenge. Well tough luck I'm immortal," Ban said unfazed. What's kings plan? "You know how my chastiful can change forms? Well this may not kill you but you certainly won't be alive," suddenly Ban's chest was pierced with a different spear than before. "Chastiful fourth form fossilification!" King exclaimed as Ban started to turn into stone. I picked up a rock and threw it at Kings head making him look towards me. "King stop it," I said glaring while Ban finished changing to stone.

"You'll thank me later," he said pissing me off. "Why would I thank you for killing my friend. He's an asshole but the good kind of asshole," I said proudly. "You wouldn't think that when he betrays us," King said with hate. "He won't!" "How do you know!" "Because I've seen him kill who destroyed the forest!" I yelled suprising him. I looked down and sighed. "It was another demon. I was sent to hunt it down. When I got there Ban had just killed the demon. After though he went and cried over the body of a little girl. I left after and never saw him again until he joined the sins," I stated looking up.

Suddenly balls of light appeared in front of Ban. "What is that. Norihc are you doin that," King said confused while I shook my head. "Wait Elaine is that you?" King cried out Saddened while his spear dropped to the ground. Suddenly the stone covering Ban broke revealing Ban to be smiling. "Hello Elaine," Ban said confusing us both. I decided to walk behind a crystal to give them some privacy. Suddenly I hear an explosion and sense a presence of a holy knight. Not a moment later I'm picked up by Ban and racing towards the explosion. "Talk to your girlfriend," I teased. "Quite unless you want me to throw ya again," he said

We arrive and see Diane on her ass and with Meli on top of her with a knight in pink with a rapier. Ban immediately started using his ability on her weapon making it come towards him. "Gonna stop ya right there," he said before dropping me. "Ow,""Ban the Fox sin. Would you kindly let go of my rapier," she said politely. "I'm not holding anything," he responded increasing the pull making her grab it with two hands. "So your magical ability is snatch. Well let me give you something apropiate for a Thief," She said firing an explosion making me duck out of the way while Ban got hit. I stood up and shouted angry "captain! Alow us to take this fight!" I yelled.

Everyone paused for a moment before Diane Meliodas and Ban Who was lyng on the ground regenarating smiled. "Okay very well," Meli said before he became stoic. "Chiron! This is an order! Apear now!" He yelled causing me to blank out.
Third POV
Suddenly Norihc glowed completely white and suddenly started to grow. His lower half extended back and changed shape while his upper body became more adult and muscular. When the light died down it revealed a centaur with jet black hair in a ponytail. His lower half sporting the same color while the only clothes he wore was Norihcs cloak that covered his back. This is the demon Chiron!

"What are your orders master?" Was the first thing he ushered with a blank look on his face and eyes that gazed into nothingness. "Defeat this holy knight," Meliodas stated pointing at Guila. "Understood," He said before turning towards Guila. "But before that," Ban said standing up. Suddenly he used his ability to pull a boulder towards him. "Pass it on!" He yelled throwing it at Diane. "You got it! Captain catch! Rush rock!" Diane yelled redirecting towards Meliodas. Meliodas smiled before drawing his sword as it closed in. "Full counter!" He yelled directing it towards Chiron who didn't even look at it when punching it making it crumble apart.

"Amusing show," Guila said unimpressed. "But I fail to see how that helps you crow sin of apathy Chiron," She continued pointing her rapier at Chiron. "Rush rock." Chiron said sending a piece of rubble at Guila only for her to side step. "Now how was that supposed to-" She started only to be interrupted by the same piece of rubble to hit her in the back making her land on her knees. "Hmm. Interesting. I believe it was faster than it was when you launched it. Well my turn," She said drawing a line of explosives. "Shot bomb!" She yelled sending the line of explosions at Chiron. Only for him to hold up his hand and say "full counter," reflecting the shots back making Guila jump out of the way.

"Hmm. So it seems you are capable of using others abilities. That is explains your first attack," he used snatch to accelerate it back towards me. Quite interesting. Suddenly Chiron started charging straight for her. Guila snapped her fingers making smoke apear blindingly him causing him to stop. Guila tried to take advantage and attack from behind only to be struck by his rear hoof. He predicted My movements! Guila backflipped to gain distance only to have to dodge one of her own attack's. He's gained my ability. Suddenly a pillar formed below Guila rising at a curve launching her towards the sky. At the peak of her height she felt a force pulling her down accelerating the rate she's falling at. She looked down frustrated only to be suprised that Chiron was riding a pillar towards her with explosives ready in each hand.

"Meteor landing," Chiron said about to strike her in the stomach. When he did though she countered with another explosion launching her back and landing in a crouched position. While Guila was taking deep breaths and had multiple bruises Chiron was unfazed and simply jumped down in front of her. "Seems I underestimated you. Though I won't be defeated so easily," She said taking a battle stance. Only to be interrupted when having to block a spear. "What is the meaning of this king," she said. "I'm betraying you simple as that," he said casually before turning towards Meliodas. "Captain. I'll fight her," he said determined. "Okay," He said indifferent. "Chiron you are dismissed," he said. When he did the same light as before enveloped him before dying down to reveal a unconscious Norihc.

The end!
