The sun was barely peeking from the mountains as the sweet melody of birds singing calmed down the two figures who were riding their own separate horses. Holding the map tightly in her hand (Y/N) squinted her eyes once more before laying down on the horse's back and groaning.
"I can't find the town of kings anywhere!" (Y/N) complained. Glancing over at his queen Estarossa smiled sweetly. "My queen, would you like for me to see that map?" Estarossa asked the maddened female. Puffing her cheeks (Y/N) handed the paper map over to the smiling demon.
"Good luck finding something there, I have been looking at it for a long time-"
"My queen, I found it!" Estarossa proclaimed happily, his eyes shining in excitement as he looked back at his queen. Feeling her eye twitch (Y/N) calmed herself and sighed, "Where is it, Estarossa?" (Y/N) questioned him as she pouted her lips.
"Near the mountains and right by the river right... here!" Estarossa informed her as he pointed at the specific spot. Pulling her horse to be closer to his own (Y/N) peered over his arm and saw that there it was, the town of kings.
"Oh, so when I try to find it doesn't work, but when you go ahead and try it you instantly find it!" (Y/N) complained as she already felt tired. Estarossa chuckled, "You did a wonderful job, my queen, so please don't tear yourself down because of it." Estarossa smiled at her as he looked back at the rocky road ahead.
Looking at the calm Estarossa once more (Y/N) also looked back at the road as she began to guide both of them towards the town of kings.

"Um... I know that I've never been here and stuff, but this is completely different from what I originally imagined." Glancing over the deserted town the two could see stone temples surrounding the place as it guarding them against something, but whatever that something must have been the stone temples did not help.
The stone temples were rumored to be one of the most beautiful sights that were built around the first Holy War, but now it has all been pushed to the ground and broken leaving behind the reminisce of what once was a glimpse of what the humans always strove for.
"I do have to say that I too imagined something more... magical." Estarossa commented as he took hold of the finger of a statue and grimaced. "Whatever came here really had no mercy at all, did it?" Estarossa whispered as he let go of the statue making a loud 'clunk' sound once landing on top of the ground.
"Demons, most likely, and wherever there are demons there's my race. Come on, we have to go see if they have already left or not!" (Y/N) exclaimed as she grasped the horses rein and whipped it making the horse speed up quickly and began to run.
Doing the same to his house both of them quickly looked around their passing surroundings for anything that may deem worthy of being noticed, not nothing so far as done such an impact.
"They're nowhere... my queen, do you think that maybe they're just not here?" Estarossa questioned the focused female, glancing over at her for a moment before looking back to try and find something.
"They have to be here, this is the only place with any demon sightings that are not connected with Meliodas." (Y/N) quickly answered him, though she never put her gaze on him. Nodding his head Estarossa glanced up and what he saw made him panic.
"My queen! A demon is up ahead flying on top of the castle!" Estarossa proclaimed as he made his horse go faster. Upon hearing the news (Y/N) face quickly lit up as she hurried her horse, her heart's beating faster than ever before.
'More of us, more of me... my people... I can't wait!' (Y/N) happily thought, a bright smile on her face.
"No more souls around? Come on, why do humans have to be so easily scared!" A deep voice angrily exclaimed. The flapping of wings was soon heard as a man appeared with long and slightly spiky pink hair with bright green eyes with an annoyed scowl.
(ʜᴇʀᴇ'ꜱ ᴀɴ ɪᴅᴇᴀ ᴏꜰ ʜᴏᴡ ʜᴇ ʟᴏᴏᴋꜱ ʟɪᴋᴇ. ᴀʀᴛ ᴅᴏᴇꜱ ɴᴏᴛ ʙᴇʟᴏɴɢ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴇ, ɪᴛ ʙᴇʟᴏɴɢꜱ ᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇɪʀ ʀᴇꜱᴘᴇᴄᴛɪᴠᴇ ᴏᴡɴᴇʀ.)
"Don't know, boss, I think it's time for us to move." Another one said in a meek tone. "Move? Why, I barely just found you all." Quickly looking over at the newfound voice the pink-haired male smirked.
"Is this what I think it is? Estarossa, the failure of a commandment. Oh, no way! (Y/N), the cheated chick! Long time no see!" The pink-haired male snickered, clearly not that glad to see them. While Estarossa was waiting for the order to kill the demon (Y/N) only cocked her head to the side.
"Who are you, bubblegum boy?" (Y/N) asked him, her (E/C) eyes boring into his own. Blinking his eyes the male laughed, "Nice joke, (Y/N)! Though, stop pretending that you don't know me. I'm Onasandros Asella, that guy that you broke off my proposal for marriage for another guy when we were ten." Onasandros explained to her in an annoyed tone.
Before (Y/N) could open her mouth to retort, Estarossa got her back. "Queen (Y/N) of the Demon Race has last most of her memories of who she was 3,000 years ago, please show some respect." Estarossa glared at the shorter male.
"Queen of the Demon Race? Please, that girl couldn't even keep her own fiancee-" Before the man could finish her sentence he was being held by the neck blocking out his airways by an invisible force.
"Show respect or die, Onasan. Now, I don't recall who you are, but whatever you were to me doesn't matter anymore, so let's just restart now." (Y/N) stated as she got helped down from the horse by Estarossa even though it was completely unnecessary.
Walking towards the confused male (Y/N) outstretched her hand towards him and smiled. "Hello, I am Queen (Y/N) of the Demon Race, but you can call me (Y/N)." (Y/N) introduced herself. Onasan looked down at her hand and sighed. "Hey, (Y/N). I'm Onasandros of the house Asella, but I guess you can call me Onasan." Onasan mumbled as he lazily shook her hand before tucking his hand back into his pocket and shyly looking away from her, a light blush on his cheeks.
Rolling his eyes Estarossa looked over at the slightly confused group of demons.
"Demon Queen...?"
"So the previous Demon King has let go of his crown..."
"Indeed he has, he also has revived Estarossa for me as I am sure all of you have heard of his death." (Y/N) stated proudly. Everyone nodded their head in agreement with what she had just said and stared in the wonder of the revived demon.
"Though, I think I can safely assume, my queen, that you have not just come for just site seeing?" Onasan questioned her in suspicion. (Y/N) looked back over at the pink-haired male and smiled, "Correct, the reason why I have come here is that I need an army to take down the Aprasion army and take back my race." (Y/N) answered them calmly as if she was not sentencing them to death with very few words.
"Sorry, no can do about that, my queen, but I think you'll be fine finding another group to help you." Onasan quickly disregarded her idea and ushered everyone to pack their stuff. "You are going to be lead by the two most powerful demons that anyone has ever heard of, I think you'll be fine." (Y/N) dismissed his worries and shrugged.
"Look, I said I can't help you-"
"We will!" Looking over his shoulder Onasan saw his men quickly prepare everything to accompany the Demon Queen with excited auras. "What? What do you mean, you'll be going with her? You barely even met her!" Onasan protested, but his words fell on deaf ears.
Packing up the last of their stuff they ran towards the girl's side and waited for orders. "Nice of you all to join us two, you will always be remembered as heroes."(Y/N) smiled as she patted one of their heads.
"Well--what--" Onasan stumbled over his words. "You can always join us, Onasan." (Y/N) suggested as she got on top of her horse and looked down at the over-heated male. "Yes, come with us!" The group yelled in excitement. Staring at the team the male sighed and slowly nodded his head. "Fine, I'll join, but don't think that my decision was influence by you, (Y/N)! It wasn't!" Onasan yelled, but they were already riding away.
"Hey, wait up!" Soon, the sun was fully awake and shining.
