~Chapter 8~Fairy Elaine~

~Elizabeth's Pov~ 

Arthur, Merlin and I headed inside after the whole Goddess Clan Army had left with Ludoshel. That Goddess. That man was nothing but a threat to everyone even to his own race. We were able to hear Liones cheering from inside. "Nicely done" Meliodas spoke as I smiled at him. I then turned my head to Merlin asking her to come with me and to bring Arthur. Everyone was confused but Meliodas. He only gave out a chuckle. "Elizabeth! Was it wise to just show off who you really were like that!?!" Hawk nearly shouted. 

I walked over to him before bending down and petting his head. "This way they won't attack Liones or Camelot for a long time. If we just let them run off they would've just returned in the next couple of days" I soon explained as Hawk sighed saying how he was worried. Meliodas informed me he would deal with Liones with the others who were in some shock. Ban was soon asking to spar with me while Escanor was saying how he wanted to also. Meliodas was soon threatening the two to back down while I took Merlin and Arthur to one of the spare rooms we had in the Tavern.

Hawk had followed us. "Would you get Elaine on the bed please Merlin?" I asked as she nodded smiling at me. She lifted her hand as soon a young girl was on the bed. The girl had long and thin eyelashes and blonde hair that reached to her neck. She was wearing a single white one-piece strapless dress which was tied together with a butterfly knot at the back and long detached sleeves. She resembled a Human child. "She was once killed by a Demon and then another Demon brought her back from the dead but she became like this" Merlin explained.

I walked over as I felt my Goddess powers rushing through me. "Seems the Demon damaged her soul making it unable to return to the afterlife or back to its own body" I then explained as now my eyes had changed to those of a Goddess, I was able to see the dark aura around her body. Arthur was asking me if it was possible to save her. "Yes, it is. She still is fighting for her own life making it possible" I then answered while looking at the aura. The aura around her was a mix of a Demon's but yet of a Goddess's curse. 

"Though we are running out of time. So let's do the spell here and now" I then spoke putting a hand on Elaine's forehead. Arthur nearly shouted 'wait what' while Merlin was asking what was needed.  I let off a golden glow from my hand that soon covered Elaine's whole body. I closed my eyes seeing a dark space. "Worthless little Fairy" I heard a female voice echo around and laugh. I knew the voice. The voice belonged to the demon Melascula. One of the Ten Commandments who served directly under the Demon King. 

I remember her having black eyes and long pink hair. She would always wear her sleeveless white leotard with horizontal and vertical lines in the middle and on top her breast. She also would have a pink bow on the choker. She also had long, pink stockings with white ornaments going around each stocking at the thigh. She was constantly cloaked in a shroud of her own darkness. Though that was just a form she would take. Her true form was that of a snake. Just like how each member of the Seven Deadly Sins was known as 'Wraith', 'Envy' and so on each member of the Ten Commandments also had a title.

Melasucla was the Ten Commandment of 'Faith'. "SHUT UP!" I heard a girls voice shout behind me as her voice was soon echoing around. I turned around fast to see the Fairy I was trying to save. She was on her knees, covering her eyes. She was crying. "Why would your brother even bother with saving someone who is only weak and pulls him down?" Melascula's voice echoed around once more as I knew moving would alert Melascula I was here. I knew saying something would do the same. 

This was Elaine's soul trapped inside of Melascula's world of Darkness. I heard Melascula laughing as I took a small breath. "Why would anyone answer or listen to a sad little snake like you Melascula?" I asked loudly causing the Fairy to turned around moving her hands to show her golden eyes. Pure hope filling her face as she looked at me. Soon Melascula showed up in front of me, looking the very same. "The great Goddess Elizabeth. You dare show yourself here" she spoke harshly as I moved forward getting in her face.

"More like you dare try act all big when you really a tiny, tiny little snake" I replied as she was glaring at me in utter rage. Elaine was in shock watching as I stood my ground with a small laugh. Melascula was one of those who was easy to get upset. She was unable to think straight when she was. "Plus, after dealing with the Goddess Clan and winding them up why not mess with you Demons?" I soon asked as her hands turned into fists. She looked as if she was about to snap as I soon acted scared.

"Oh no the cute little snake is gonna bite me" I spoke before laughing blasting Melascula away from both myself and Elaine. The Fairy was unable to move, speak or even look away as I crossed my arms. "Weak as ever Melascula. I suggest not trying to bite someone bigger and stronger than you" I then spoke moving toward Elaine. I heard Melascula's scream of rage as I moved backwards fast blocking a posion burst. She soon was rushing toward me as I ended up moving around to dodge incoming attacks. 

I only smirked as she was unable to land a hit. She soon screamed in rage the darkness around her starting to grow. "No need to get so upset Snakey" I sang as I stayed still. She was heading straight for me as I had a shield block her snake venom spray and then punched her right in the face. As one of the Ten Commandments, it meant she was harder to kill and normally stronger than most Demons. Sadly Melascula was easy to counter by just pissing her off. Melascula went backwards from the hit. Her face red raw from the punch. 

"I remember you having more bite than this, gone soft on me?" I asked my hand still in a fist. She was breaking heavy calming herself down. She seemed to have learnt some small bits of control of her rage. That made me slightly proud as it always was me who pissed her off. "Why do you all of a sudden care for a Holy Maiden? Why come here to save her and risk getting trapped in here with her?" Melascula asked as my smirk turned into a smile. A small laugh coming from me, confusing her and Elaine.

"Ban and King's faces when they begged me to save her were too good to say no too. Even though I was known as an Evil Goddess, I still have a big heart. Plus with this, the Fairy King owes me if I bring her back. Who would say no to that? Plus I am a sucker for a good love story" I winked toward Melascula as Elaine's eyes watered. She soon asked me if both Ban and King were alright and if they were safe. She didn't care for herself in end. It was easy to see by her face. She was more worried about them than herself.

"Yes. They miss you very much. They were willing to risk anything to bring you back" I then answered and explained as Elaine was thanking me. Her face had finally lightened up fully enough for me to pull her out of Melascula's fake world of darkness. "You always got in the way Cursed Goddess!" Melascula nearly shouted as I lifted up my hand toward her. She moved backwards glaring at me. She was in shock to see me here. She wasn't planning on me being here but she wanted Elaine's soul.

She wanted her soul too much. There had to of been a reason. "Bye, bye" I spoke blasting the Demon full blast destroying the black space turning it into a white one. Elaine was getting on her feet, looking around. That was when I sensed it. Pure Soul. I turned my head looking at Elaine in shock. Her soul was so pure even after a Demon being here. She started thanking me as I only smiled walking to her. "Are you ready to see Ban and King again? Holy Maiden Elaine?" I asked offering my hand to her.

She took it, tears going down her cheeks as she nodded. Her smile as pure as her soul. She was someone both Goddesses and Demons would want. A Pure Soul was very powerful. Pure Souls were able to bring back Goddesses from the dead but at a very big price. Demons who ate Pure Souls become just as powerful as the Demon King. Soon me and Elaine were both blinded by a white light. Once it was clear, I was opening my eyes back in the tavern. Merlin and Arthur shouting my name in relief as Elaine was opening her eyes.

I fell backwards to be caught. "Elizabeth, you always find ways to worry me" I heard Meliodas as I looked up and smiled at him. He was smiling at me, as he was the one to catch me. Ban and King were shouting Elaine's name rushing to her as she shouted their names in return. The three hugging in joy. "I knew you would look at Elaine now but to rush straight into saving her was a bit of a shock" Meliodas chuckled as he picked me up in a princess hold. Gowther was saying he was impressed as I noticed everyone was here in the room.

"She has a Pure Soul. That is why the Demon wanted her" I whispered as Meliodas was in shock. Merlin and Ban were both asking what that meant fast. Ban sounding upset while Merlin sounded more interested. Elaine was confused also. King was informing her that he and Ban wouldn't let a Demon hurt her. "Another time we will explain. Elizabeth needs rest. Fighting a Demon out of someone's soul and then bringing them back to life without any side effects takes a lot of power and magic" Meliodas replied leaving the room.

I leaned my head closer to his shoulder as he soon sighed. "Don't worry me like that again" he soon whispered as I laughed slightly whispering 'sorry'. He took me to our room as Meliodas was informing me that even Liones doesn't know about him being back yet. He soon was saying he was worried about the reactions of his friends were when they see him. I moved my hand to his cheek as he walked over to the bed, getting him to look at me. "I'm sure everything will be fine" I whispered too tired to talk more normal.

Meliodas placed me on the bed asking which Demon I had to fight. "Melasucla. She was in too much shock and rage to attack me fully" I answered as Meliodas sat next to me on the bed, holding my hand. He was smiling at me telling me to rest.
