POV: Y/n

Meliodas, Ban, Hawk and I were looking at a map of the Kingdom, plotting out our next course of action.

Meliodas: This is where we met Elizabeth and Y/n. And then we were reunited with Diane in the forest of White Dreams.

Hawk: And now we're on the mountain road headed east from Dalmary, huh?

Me: Yeah, I'm fairly certain that the Capital of the Dead is in this direction if not near.

Ban: Don't we wanna go to the Kingdom's Capital? Shouldn't we be heading southwest on the main road?

Meliodas: Nope. We're heading away from the Kingdom for now.

Me: Besides, we've taken down the Fort Solgales and Baste Dungeon. So it makes sense that the Kingdom and the Holy Knights will be on high alert.

Hawk: It'd be best if avoid doing anything that would catch their attention.

Ban: But we're already catching sooooo much attention.

Me & Hawk: And we don't need any more!

POV: Elizabeth

I was sitting outside the Boar Hat, talking to Diane as we walked towards the Capitol of the Dead.

Me: I'm really sorry, because of me, we had to stay in Dalmary for three more days.

Diane: You're way too apologetic, Elizabeth. Anyway, are you feeling better.

Me: Thanks, Diane, I'm fine now. Mama Hawk, I'm sorry that you had to house-sit all this time. Were you lonely, being all by yourself.

Mama Hawk: Bugo Bugo Bugooo

Diane: "Don't worry about it," She says!

Just then Hawk came bolting out the door, almost falling off in the process.

Hawk: DON'T JUST TRANSLATE PN YOUR OWN!! She said "Next time, let me know in advance if it's going to take a while!

POV: Y/n

I couldn't help but laugh slightly at what occurred outside.

Ban: So, where did we end up deciding to go next?

Me: Did you not pay attention?

Meliodas: Yeah, our next destination is.

Suddenly, Mama Hawk stopped, as Meliodas, Ban and I looked out the window we saw two Holy Knights standing in front of us. I couldn't quite hear what they said, I think it was that Diane was a giant and they knew they were looking for one as well.

Meliodas: Speak of the Devil, we've run into a security check.

Ban: Holy Knights my ass. They look like their all apprentices. I'll finish them off without breaking a sweat.

Me: No, we don't need to do that.

Meliodas then placed his his had on Ban, asif he was saying, let me handle this. He then left the bar and I could hear the Holy Knights saying something. I walked outside to hear what was being said.

Meliodas: Hey there security guys! I'm the owner of this traveling bar, "Boar Hat" what can I do for you?

Guard 1: Traveling bar? A child owner?

Guard 2: Then what are you doing with this woman from the Giants' Clan?

Meliodas: She's my bar's attractive waitress!! This is one too.

Meliodas then pulled Elizabeth right next to him.

Ban: What an unbelievable lie.

Me: He's not entirely wrong.

I could tell that the Holy Knights were curious, you could almost see their brains ticking as they process what they were told.

Guard 1: THIS IS A NEW TREND!!

Hawk: I'm the longest tenured employee here.

Guard 2: AWESOME!! SHE'S CUTE!!

Diane: I'm an attractive waitress

Meliodas: Nishishi, but I like the other one too!

Me: Watch your tongue

Ban: Seriously, that worked?

Meliodas: We don't open the bar while traveling, but if you want a drink, we'll give you a discount. And if you find us stopped somewhere, you can stop by anytime!!

Guard 2: What a good bar

Guard 1: Arlight, you can move along!!

Hawk: Good thing they were idiots.

Meliodas: We were saved by stupidity.

Me: I doubt we're done yet.

Just then Diane picked up Meliodas and rubbed him against her face.

Me: Called it.

Diane: THANKS, CAPTAIN!!! Me, an attractive waitress! I'm, I'm, SUPER HAPPY!!!

Guard 1: Captain?

Guard 2: Wa... WAIT A MINUTE!! YOU'RE THE CHILD IN THE REPORTS, MELIODAS OF THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS!?

Diane: Opps.

Hawk: Aw man, we also have an idiot.

Ban: That's why I said we should've finished them off.

Me: Now, I may be agreeing with you, but only in defence!

Suddenly I noticed something moving from the woods in an incredibly fast speed, it then started encircling the boar hat and the two guards in front of us. I could tell the two guards were trying to fight it.

Meliodas: Diane, put me down!

Diane: Ye... yeah.

As Diane put Meliodas down, one of the guards was knocked back by whatever was dashing around us. The other guard was talking about killing the creature when it suddenly ate him, revealing a black canine.

Hawk: Awawa, this is bad, that's a black hound!!

Me: Aren't those things relentless hunters?

Hawk: Yes, it's an insanely vicious monster!!

Ban then jumped off Mama Hawk's nose landing in front of the Black Hound. I followed suit, having an idea.

Me: Ban, don't do anything stupid.

Ban: Hey dog, you're in the way of our adventure.

Hound: GRRRRR.

Ban: Should I kill you?

The hound then grew to about five or six times it size, coming up to about Diane's torso.

Ban: What's up with this thing? It suddenly got bigger.

Me: The rumors are true, if they feel threatened, they grow to compensate and fight back. Now I want this for a pet.

Ban: Hmmm, how boring. I'll kill you after all.

Meliodas then jumped down landing beside us.

Meliodas: Hold on a sec Ban!

Me: Ban, stop trying to kill everything!

Ban: As always Cap'n, you're kind to boring things, leave this to me. Come ooooon, Cap'n, that thing attacked us first!

Meliodas: We're the ones who entered his territory.

Me: Well, that's a good point.

Diane: Captain, be careful.

Hound: GRRRRRR.

Meliodas then grabbed the hilt of his sword, and suddenly the hound shrank and ran off, almost as fast as he left.

Me: I've never heard of a Black Hound doing that, it seems like it was scared off.

Meliodas: Well, then let's take off again!!

Ban: Have you decided wheeeeere to take off yet?

Me: Ban! We told you already, we're heading to the Capital of the Dead!

Meliodas: We'll look for King there.

Ban then started defacing the wanted poster of King.

Ban: Are you kidding me Cap'n? Didn't you hear that the fatass is dead? Actually I was the one who was supposed to kill him.

Meliodas: That's the one lead we have right now, so we might as well pay a visit. And stop playing around with the wanted posters.

After a few hours of travelling, we all reached a small village which was near the Capital of the Dead. Meliodas, Hawk, and I were standing outside as we walked.

Hawk: We're heeeeeere!! Now can I ask you something Meliodas?

Meliodas: Sure, sure.

Hawk: How in the world is this lonely village called the 'Capital of the Dead?'

Meliodas: From what I've been told, this is the closest village to the 'Capital of the Dead.'

We all then got off of Mama Hawk, who burriered herself in the ground outside of the town.

Meliodas:First we have to gather information about King and the Capital of the Dead. from what I've been told, this is the closest village to it. And we have to earn money for food too. Let's get ready to open shop.

Me: I'll go hunting for meat if you want me to.

Ban: So it's really true that the Cap'n is wait'n tables?

Diane: Captain is dreamy when he's working, too!

Meliodas: You're all working, too. Diane, you're in charge of attracting customers, big waitress!! And Ban, I'm counting on you to make great food with Y/n, jailbreaking cook!!

This made Diane incredibly happy, shocked Ban and myself to an extent, because I didn't think Ban would carry his weight.

Hawk: Don't you maen 'crap food?' I figured Y/n was the only good cook.

Meliodas: No, great, is what I want to say, but his food is actually delicious!

Ban: Hey, wait a sec. If we need money, I got something. Huh? The master weaponsmith Tarabas' dagger is... gone?

Me: I gave it to Miss Cenette while you were unconscious.

Ban: Hey, hey, Y/n, why the hell you going through my stuff?

Meliodas: How could someone who's been in jail for five years have something that valuable?

Me: Besides, you dropped it on the ground when you slept, I recognized the mark on the base of the tang.

Meliodas: Alright, let's get to work!! Give it everything you've got!!

After working to clean up the Boar's Hat from traveling, I made another inventory of our food supplies. I could hear Elizabeth pleading with Meliodas over something, from the sounds of it it was for her to help with the waiting. At this point I herd Meliodas talk to Ban, who I sent out to check on the food reserves.

Meliodas: Oh, that's right, Ban! The reserves are accessed from the shop!

Me: I told him that a few minutes ago!

Meliodas: Then he ran away.

Me: DAMMIT! Well, I figured he'd ditch at some point.

After a while, I started helping Elizabeth with the cleaning of the bar's chairs.

Elizabeth: By the way, Lord Meliodas, what kind of person was Lord King?

Meliodas: Hmmm... what kind of person was he? I guess, in a nutshell he's like the mascot of the Seven Deadly Sins, I guess?

Hawk: Hey, hey, hey, you've got to be kidding about the pet! What kind of a food serving establishment would keep an animal inside?

Me: Hawk, check yourself. I think you'd classify as a pet in some places.

Meliodas: Actually Hawk, it's not that kind of pet.

Hawk: Then what kind?

Meliodas: Oh, come to think of it, a long time ago, Ban went through a phase of 'collecting' stuffed animals.

Me: PFFFFT! Hahaha!

Elizabeth: That's really cute!!

Me: It is, but I doubt he collected them.

Timeskip- years ago; POV: None

The Seven Deadly Sins were lounging around their home, when Meliodas walked in to see Ban sitting atop a large pile of stuffed animals, drinking Bernia Ale.

Meliodas: Ban, I can't believe I'm asking you this, but...

Ban: Hm?

Meliodas: Did you go around stealing every stuffed animal in the Kingdom?

Ban: Day and night, I put in sweat and hard labor for the Kingdom. I won't be cursed if I do something this small, right?

Meliodas: No, you definitely deserve to be cursed.

???: Is that story... true?

Meliodas: King?

Ban: Do you have a prooooblem? Fatass?

King is a larger man, with a light brown, dark auburn hair color, normal clothes and whiskers growing down the side of his face. On his face, he grew an irritated expression, his brows angled near his eyes.

Meliodas: So that's why I heard the cries of little children throughout the town.

King then started crying, tears gushing out of his eyes.

King: WUBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Meliodas: And now the cry on an old geezer's been added to the mix.

King: I'm sad, Ban!! Every one of these guys, they have memories and feelings stuffed inside them! But then *Sniff* you *Sniff* you *Sniff* you're terrible!!

Ban: No, aren't they willed with stuffing or old clothes?

As Ban said this, he started tearing into one of the stuffed bears, before King yanked it away.

King: STOP IIIIIIIIIIIIT!!

King continued to cry as Meliodas patted his back, trying to calm his team mate. After a few hours, Ban passed out from being drunk and King went throughout the kingdom, returning every stuffed animal that Ban stole.

Timeskip- Present Day; POV: Y/n

Elizabeth: He seems a little different, but it sounds like Lord King has a really kind heart.

Hawk: On the other hand, Ban is really a good-for-nothing.

Me: It makes me wonder how Ban took the stuffed animals and how King returned them to their respectful owner.

Meliodas: They had names stitched in the back.

Me: Convenient.

Hawk: I bet those two really didn't get along well, huh?

Meliodas: For some reason, likely because Ban is that kind of guy, maybe as someone who was there to clean up his messes, King was right behind Ban, wherever he went. You could say that they were the unlikely dynamic duo.

Me: I'm going to fix some food. You guys want anything?

Meliodas: I'll take some Venison

Me: Alright, seeing as that's all we have, you made a good choice.

Meliodas: Well, write that down and you can get some after we grab King.

Me: I already did that!

Elizabeth: Shouldn't we go and look for Lord Ban?

Meliodas: We can after we eat, I don't think Ban'll get in too much trouble.

Diane: Guys Ban's in trouble!

Meliodas: I spoke too soon.

Me: DAMMIT BAN! I was about to start cooking.

POV: Writer

Soooooooo, I planned on starting a writing schedule today, and I got half way done. But, I had to do some medical tests for college, which took the entire day, so I'm going to officially start it tomorrow. To put it in it's simplest form, I'll take Sunday's off. and on the weekdays, and Saturday, I'll write two chapters for a specific book, and publish one of them, that way, if I go on vacation or like today, something comes up and I can't really write, I'll still be able to publish a chapter with a little bit of editing to be done after the fact. So I will work on The Loyal Knight on Mondays, The Lost Weapon on Tuesdays, Vengeance on Wednesdays, The Western Hero on Thursday, A New Perspective on Fridays, and on Saturdays, I'll either publish a new book, or books, (When I buckle down and write that trio) or work on a preexisting book that isn't as popular, but when RWBY starts back up, I'll work on DJDM until RWBY ends, that just reminds me to work on it. But this may not last, or if it does, it'll be halved due to when I start college. Either way, God bless all y'all, and good luck with life.
