X ~ Estarossa

Estarossa put on his coat and walked into the throne room of Camelot. "Any news?" he asked. Unlike last time he was attempting to keep his composure as to not scare away his comrades. To his delight, Monspeet nodded.

"The demons have spotted a boy, looking similar to Zeldoris, in the capital of Liones," Monspeet reported. Estarossa nodded, a smile forming on his lips.

"I'll go investigate it," Estarossa announced before leaving Camelot.

Meliodas threw open his bedroom door. Zeldris, half-asleep, fell off the couch in shock. He sat up groggily while rubbing his butt in pain. "What the hell!?" He glared at his brother. Meliodas just shrugged and grabbed his sword. He slid it into its sheath as Zeldris stood up.

"What are you doing?" Zeldris asked. Meliodas patted his head with a smile.

"I gotta go on a mission," Meliodas informed him. "Go to Elizabeth if you need anything." Zeldris looked uncertainly at him. "Howzer will also be here. So those two can keep you company."

"Are the sin going with you?"

"Only Ban."

"Can I go with you?"

"No," Meliodas stated. Zeldris looked away. He was mostly worried about being left with Merlin. "You'll be fine. Besides, Merlin won't touch you. I promise." Zeldris stilled seemed worried so Meliodas called Elizabeth in.

"Is there something wrong, Sir Meliodas?"

"Don't leave Zeldris alone and make sure Merlin doesn't touch him," Meliodas told her. Elizabeth nodded in understanding. "Thank you."

"Cap'n you ready?" Ban asked. Meliodas nodded and walked out the door after him. They began running to the edge of Liones' capital. In the sky was a figure flying. "What's that?"

Upon closer inspection, they realized it was a demon and not just any demon, one of the Ten Commandments. Meliodas shot up a hellblaze to get their attention. The figure dodged it and dropped down to them.

There stood Estarossa of Love. Ban growled lowly and got into a fighting stance but Meliodas put his arm in front of him. "Careful. You don't want to be struck by his commandment," he warned. Ban gulped. His hand was already beginning to shake slightly.

Estarossa tilted his head as a cruel, cold smile grew on his face. "Hello, big brother. You seem well." His voice was void of any compassion.

"Nice to see you too, Estarossa."
