Sylus's POV.
*Sigh*
It's been two hours since the meeting ended, I'm currently at the beach, sitting in the sand staring at the waves, I don't know where the other boys are I don't wanna know where they are. It's just me and my thoughts as everything fades away.
My captain just dropped a mission impossible on us,
how are we going to do this. We're talking about the seven sins here not just anything to toy with. I know it might have sounded easy to them but trust me it's not, a single mistake can cost you your life, those people just want to die.
If you ask me I would say we are okay as three,I wouldn't want it any other way. What about the girls part of them, I don't hate girls but this team is called Kings and if we have female comrades what will we be called 'Kings and Queens '. No, never. I like it as just Kings and only Kings.
Ten students but we need only four which means some would have to go home, I know someone would die cause it's monstrous beast powerful of mass disasters and distractions they're going to tame not same cute creatures you can keep as house pets.
I know Asta looks cute and all but that's not his true form, these creatures in their real form can be taller than buildings with claws sharp enough to cut through dimensions. But what do I know, the captain said if we could do it someone also can.
I know I'm over thinking,
I stood up and walked into the sea, I stopped when the water reached my knee, if captain wants to add people to this team why won't she go for those outside this world like the boys and I, why pick people from this land.
*Sigh*
Looking at the vast ocean ahead, there is an island to the west, called The West Dekens. The people there are most farmers, growing all kinds of crops and livestock too. I once bought a pet dragon but Asta won't let me keep it, I had to send it back.
" Sylus, dude what are you doing there " I heard Idris's voice.
He was closing in on the beach followed by Diablo,
what do they want now.
I got out of the water and went up to where there were seated.
" You okay? " He asked .
" yeah, why " I asked back
" you look like you are having a mental war " he answered .
" I don't know about you but this whole thing is unsettling to me" I answered honestly.
" you don't understand the fact that we have been given the right to train people to stand side by side with us" Idris gave me that look when he thinks you are stupid.
" Idris..... chill out for a second and listen to me ..." I tried to explain myself.
" I know man but feeling fucked up about it wont solve it" he cupped my face in both hands. and I just looked at him, this guy... he-
" there's nothing to listen to when all of what you say doesn't make any sense " he said with a smile and all the good thought I had about him seconds ago disappeared.
" Diablo tell him how dangerous this is" I turned to him for help.
" I don't know man, it seems like a great opportunity to expand the team " he said.
" and of course you being stupid don't understand, do you" Idris continued.
" Am I the only one who sees how dangerous this is " I fought.
" no you are the only one who is paranoid..." he said and looked away.
". !WHY ARE YOU'LL AGAINST ME!!! "
" No one is against you" Dia crossed his arms.
"Then why don't you...."
" YOU'RE THE ONE AGAINST EVERYTHING " the two of them plus Asta cut me short
ASTA??
Why is Asta putting himself in this, why is he against me, I'm his master,
he has been silent since the meeting started. Idris and Diablo just look annoyed. Diablo even turned away from me.
' Asta , where the hell have you ass been you can't just pop up and yell at me like that ' I scolded him inwardly.
Seconds later I heard his voice, ' first, I was having a talk with the other sins second it's hard to stay quiet when all you do is whine like a baby' I could almost see him roll his eyes.
I cleared my thoughts and look at the boys. " It's not like I'm against everything I just have a pathological discomfort with unpredictability,... no big deal " .
" look " Idris places a hand over my shoulders, " not all big changes come with bad consequences like what you think. Sometimes it's a great opportunity for a new life like what happened to you" .
His words took me back to my childhood. I was an orphan living with thirty six other orphan children, everything was great the kind that makes you feel like you are with a family but not an orphan, we played all day and cried together whenever someone gets adopted and had to leave, I remember the day we were told of a big change about to occur. We were moving to a bigger house with other orphan just like us.
and there was a possibility that most of us would get adopted, I was too young to know much, I heard phrases like government funds support unit and renovation,
which if I think about it now its probably the government sending funds to support a better structure for the children,
I remember happy faces, I remember the joy I remember the promises we made to one another, I remember the decorations we plan to put up, I remember it all...
During the moving day, busses came for the children, I and some kinds volunteered to help move boxes so both buses left without me, I sat in the car of the sisters who took care of us,
we were the only ones late, because I didn't want to leave anything behind,I check every room, finding only a single stuffed bunny, During the ride we caught up with the busses they were a few cars ahead and I remember looking at the back of the glass seeing the other moving about knowing we would be united,
thinking back... that was the biggest joke of my life,
we got stuck in traffic on top of a bridge, it was raining terribly if I remember correctly, there was fog everywhere and I couldn't make them out clearly,
then I heard screaming, from ahead of us
In a blink of an eye, the bridge was struck by lightning and the entire thing fell, the busses, the cars, others who happened to be on the bridge that time, everything with everyone went straight into the water below, it happened so fast I didn't know what happen till we were in the water,
one second screams the next loud noise and the next we were in the water
It wasn't just any water, it was a full running stream that flows into the sea. Everything happened in a flash before I knew it; water was filling the car as it sank. people rushed out to not drown with the car, but me; I just froze. Not because of what was happening but because of what I saw... and maybe a bit because of what happened
That lightning, it wasn't just any lightning, I saw a creature, something with scales and a head it's body was long it looked like a snake, I tried to get to the busses which was sinking faster than any vehicle that fell.
The creature ,I saw it again moving or swimming I couldn't tell. it came right at me and opened it's mouth to swallow me,I closed my eyes and didn't see it when I was rescued, maybe by and was angel.
No, a goddess, that was the fast day I met Lady Asha she had her eyesight back then, her eyes were golden, I will never forget the fire in them. She slayed that snake.. or monster and saved me but everyone else died.
They sank to the bottom, when their bodies were found it was too late all thirty six of them. Lady Asha took me under her since then, I moved away from that town, but it stayed with me, I hate anything I cant tell the out come, it was really hard back then cause the only prof of the family i had was the stuffed bunny I held onto, later I found out that monster was a Thunder Demon that escaped into our universe.
funny how it was just an accident,
What's the use of all their memories, it's all in the past ,
Lady Asha gave me a new name and identity, she made me who I am now. Maybe I'm afraid of unpredictable situations especially when it has a high chance of death,
....and it might all be because of that day.
It could be why I'm not willing to accept the news from the meeting earlier.
what I joke I can be.
" you know what" I asked the guy.
" let's do this, let's find new people to sand side by side with us, I'm ready and I'm not complaining about it again " when I finished they all just stared
at me.
" that's the spirit " Idris raised his hand.
" How about we go to the land at the east side, and find some hot girls to mingle with " Idris suggested and I shook my head.
" come on you know you want it, you could even find a girlfriend in there " he pushed me along over to the yacht and Diablo followed.
' just go' Asta said ' you feel like shit right now so go and relax,
and please don't start thinking about depression shit out of nowhere, I don't get time to block your thoughts, and trust me I don't want to go through your past.
Maybe I'm afraid but that's all part of life the one thing that happened when I was seven was what led to this wonderful family so I looking up to it, I'm sure I will gain new friends and family.
Idris is a good guy, an asshole most of the time but good when you need him to be
Diablo is like the responsible one when none of us are not and is not when the two of us are,
It's funny how we complement each other...
I'm excited to see the people who will call them self Kings next to us.
