Chapter 17| New Generation

                                    

                                          
Meliodas's P.O.V
                          
"Y/n!" The four of us yelled for her but she already froze the lake. We can't get her out now. Even if we use all our powers, we can't break it because this is Y/n's power. Her full power is more powerful than the four of us, all together. She's very very strong but her powers have a lot of costs, that's why we don't make her fight a lot. It's not that she'll die but she can be asleep for a long time and we won't know when she'll wake up again.
                          
"We're not getting her out of there anytime soon." Diane sighed. The other two gave up too, knowing how she is like.
                          
"What just happened?" Elizabeth asked. 
                          
"Y/n was on fire! Is no one going to talk about that? Is this the sweet and soft Y/n you are talking about, Meliodas? Because that was not sweet or soft." Hawk yelled.
                          
"Y/n really is nice and sweet. She really is. It's just sometimes..." Diane defended.
                          
"Things happen to Y/n and she gets..." King added.
                          
"Out of control. She basically turns into a demon." Ban finished. "But she's not a demon. She's human." I sighed, disappointed. He's probably too drunk to realize what he said.
                          
"Y/n will be there for a really long time. Let's just talk about new Holy Knights." I say. 
                          
"They're called the 'New Generation'." King said leaning on his pillow.
                          
"The 'New Generation'?" I asked.
                          
"Apparently there has been some failed apprentices who have gained powers like those of a Holy Knights overnight. For instance, Guila. She was a Holy Knight apprentice until just the other day. Can you believe that?" He said.
                          
"Her?" I asked.
                          
"In spite of this mess we're in, you took the sacred treasure King Liones bestowed on the Seven Deadly Sins when it was founded and you sold it?" 
                          
"I told you, I needed some money for the tavern." I explained.
                          
"Yours was stolen?!" He turned to drunk Ban.
                          
"When I was thrown in prison." Ban replied. 
                          
"Um, am I a bad girl?" Diane said with sad eyes and tone.
                          
"W-well, if you misplaced it, no one can blame you." King stuttered. Expected.
                          
"Don't be in such a huff King. These guys do pretty well barehanded." Hawk said.
                          
"Good Bhuta-kun." King started. (Bhuta means pig)
                          
"Bhuta-kun?" Hawk asked.
                          
"Let's say that this lake." King turned to the lake but he realized that it was frozen. "Well, say this lake isn't frozen, right now, and represents one of the Sin's mana. How much water can you scoop out with your hands?"
                          
"Hands?"
                          
"Exactly. No matter how much mana, your hands limit you. But if they used a weapon, especially their sacred treasure." His hand was towards the lake. The ice on the lake opened. Our eyes widened. 
                          
"If you try and disturb me while I'm sleeping, all of you better sleep with one eye open tonight." Y/n said coming out of the hole King created. "And no, King didn't do this. I just happen to pop out when he's using his power. Now, good day." She went back in the lake and froze it again. I guess even a powerful fairy, like King, can't compete against Y/n. We already knew that.
                          
"Sacred treasures are pretty cool huh?" I said.

                          
"Oh, I get it." Hawk grabbed my collar and shook me. "Why the hell did you give up yours?!"
