No, it can't be. I didn't, I wouldn't. Looking around, I saw my destroyed throne room, and at the far end I saw the steps leading up to my throne.

However, something was wrong, the throne was no longer there. The only thing left behind of the throne was the ruined rubble. Looking closely, I saw blood seeping away from the rubble.

Please, no. On instinct, my body slowly made its way toward the blood.

'Don't! You don't want to see!'

Not listening, I kept crawling. As I got closer, I saw the remains of a teenage Hikari. Her insides spilled out of her, and blood covered her clothes and the ground around her. My eyes drifted to her face, and I saw the soulless look in her eyes as if her soul was devoured. Which it most likely was.

A primal roar escaped my throat as I lost myself in grief. My power is growing out of control. Swallowing everything around me.

Before I knew it, I found myself in a garden having a picnic with Hikari. Who was smiling while her hand was in the air, a butterfly resting on her finger.

I kept breathing deeply before I could calm my nerves.

'I don't think this hell is for you to find a way around devouring her. As you didn't get a choice. I think it is trying to allow you to come to terms with the possibility that you may not have a choice.'

"Never, Dammit! I won't do it! The Abyss doesn't control me. I'm its master!"

"Daddy?" Hikari said, looking at me sadly and in fear.

You're not real. You're not real.

"Are you feeling, okay? Can we go home?"

I felt tears going down my face. Looking Hikari in the eyes. Even if she isn't real is it so wrong to wish she was?

Please just let me stay here like this with her.

Out of the three that had gone on trials, only one remained. That being Prime. He could be seen struggling as his body writhed in pain black veins going through his body. The stump of his arm had veins started pulsing as black blood started slowly extending from the stump.

The blood slowly falls into the shape of a hand. As if it was trying to heal.

The onlookers, being Zaneri, Meliodas, and Elizabeth, were watching this with concerned looks. Elizabeth was concerned because she didn't like seeing people hurt, Meliodas was concerned because in the 3000 years he had known Prime nothing had ever harmed him, Zaneri was concerned for her old friend, but was concerned about the fact his powers were leaking out of his body. Which could cause unnecessary damage to the holy land... no all of Britannia.

"Should he be pulled out? He looks to be in a lot of pain?" Elizabeth asked, fidgeting with the potted plant in her hand.

"No." Both Zaneri and Meliodas said.

"We pull him out; he may very well retaliate by hurting us. He was never one who liked receiving help. Which makes it even more frightening he wants help stopping the person coming after him." Meliodas said, looking lost in thought.

"I agree with Meliodas. He wanted you guys to leave if he was taking too long and seeing that Meliodas has gained back his powers already, it's best you all go."

Meliodas smirked, walking toward the exit. Showing a devious grin on his face.

"I have other plans. Elizabeth, go ahead and keep trying to practice your magic on that seed."

Elizabeth and Zaneri looked confused, both having a bad feeling, but while Zaneri left to go see what Meliodas was going to do. Elizabeth went back to the seed. That was refusing to sprout for her.

Outside with Meliodas, he was seen with everyone else. Asking Merlin something that shocked everyone.

"Merlin, teleport me to the commandments. I'm going to talk with them."

Merlin, knowing Meliodas had a plan, did it. Before anyone else could stop them.

The ten commandments now nine all sat upon a large tree, looking out toward Britannia, sensing the disturbance of magic. They couldn't tell where it was coming from because a seal was in place that had prevented them from learning the exact location. They just knew the general direction.

The strong magic worried most of them, for they hadn't felt magic as powerful since The Holy War. It made them wonder who had such strength.

Even with them being distracted, the appearance of Meliodas, who they had felt, regained some of his powers, caught their attention.

Smiling at the commandments, he gave them a two-finger wave, not worrying in the slightest at being in their presence.

"Yo."

"Meliodas! You must have a death wish to show yourself to us. It does allow us to ask if it was you that killed Galand." Melascula said, giving a hateful glare at him.

Jumping down to meet him, Meliodas looked up at Fraudrin, who was inhabiting the body of Dreyfus. Giving a look of hate toward Meliodas, he threw a punch.

In a matter of seconds, Meliodas was already in the guard of Fraudrin and kicked him in the chin, sending him flying into the air. Grabbing his foot and slamming him into the ground before tossing him back towards the other commandments.

As if he was nothing.

"I'm not here to fight. I'm here to greet you and talk a little bit."

"We have nothing to say to a traitor."

"Ah, well, this is more of a warning anyway. I was going to say that if you all were going to continue the war from 3000 years ago, the 8 sins would stop you. However, it's kind of pointless now. The Sin of Despair has returned, and once he comes after you, it won't matter either way. You will die. Even your father couldn't save you."
