By your Side (Undead Ban x Reader)

Chapter 34| The Trumpet of Cernunnos

Y/n's P.O.V

"Wait, what?" I asked. "My dad is not a Demon Prince. My father, knocked up my mom and let her get captured by the guards of Rthea, just so he won't have to face the consequences of being a father. Actually, saying that out loud, I can kind of see how he's a Demon Prince."

"I don't know the truth. I only listen to what I am told and I am told to keep an eye on you. So that is what I shall do."

"And I'm telling you that you are wrong about my father." I say and tried to kicked the door down which, surprisingly didn't work. 

"I told you, your magic won't work." Gilthunder said. "That includes your strength."

"That doesn't even make sense." I gave up and sat down on the floor. "You know we didn't kill your dad, right?" He didn't answer. "There's two Holy Knights that I fully trusted other than the Seven Deadly Sins. My cousin, Oliver, and Zaratras."

"If you think talking about my father will get you out then, you are sadly mistaken."

"I'm not. I just want you to remember how great he was as a Grand Master. Better than Hendrickson or Dreyfus will ever be. I mean, he trusted me and he didn't even know I was a demon. Maybe that's why." I smiled, remembering the good times. "He was always cracking up jokes and drinking with me whenever he saw me by myself. I didn't even drink alcohol back then. He would just drink and listen to  me ranting. He suggested I should become a Sin, you know? And I did. Merlin, Meliodas, and Ban were all telling me to join but I didn't listen. But your father somehow said something that made me want to join."

"Wait, you were a Sin?" He asked, surprised.

"Yeah, I was. The Eagle Sin of Death." I replied chuckling. "There used to be Eight Deadly Sins but I left because there was too much violence. I know, that's a stupid and pussy move but I really can't handle it. Seeing too much blood and hurting people- some innocent- just reminds me of my past, which is something I would love to forget. Your father understood that and let me become the so-called 'Dementor.' He trained me to fight people without being too violent or shedding too much blood. Hence, why he asked Meliodas to train you because he was focusing on helping me. Sorry about that. He's a real good guy. When I saw him pinned on that wall that day, it was like a part of me died too. I tried to make a joke to and see if he was just faking it but in the end, he was really gone. I would do anything, to bring him back, Gilthunder. Anything."

"Sir Gilthunder, Grand Master Hendrickson is asking for your assistance." A knight said coming to him.

"Alright." Gilthunder said. "Watch this prisoner. Make sure she does not leave. And a tip, she's very talkative."

"Yes, sir." The knight saluted and watched Gilthunder walk away.

"So, knight." I tried to start a conversation. "You ever heard of the Bigfoot?"

Ban's P.O.V

I separated from Danchou and went to the castle to look for that trumpet. Believe me, when I say, I am worried about Y/n. But she's Y/n. Whatever trouble she's in, she always finds a way to get out. Plus, she's with shisho, I know she's safe. And right now, my goal is to talk to this stupid Goddess. (This is why she broke up with you dumbass 🙄)

I walked in the dark room and found a gigantic trumpet.

"So, this is the Trumpet of Cernunnos, huh? It's fucking huge." I tell myself. "Hey, Goddess, or whoever can hear me? Hello?" I called. No one answered. "Hey, if you can hear me... In exchange for my life, I want you to bring Elaine back to life." No answer, again. "Hey, are you listening?" I sighed in defeat. "Yeah, like it would be that easy. Oh well." I start to walk away.

"Who are you?" I heard a female's voice that made me look back. I looked at the top to see Hawk a.k.a Shisho.

"Shisho! Is that you?" I asked even though it's obvious. "Hey! What the hell are you doing here? I mean, what are you doing here?" I removed the 'hell' to be more polite towards him. He is my master after all. (Bottom)

"You tell me!" He started to look around. "I mean, what is this place? Where's Elizabeth?"

"Where's Y/n?" I asked, getting worried. 

"Y/n? Why would she be with me?" He asked.

"Come down here and tell me what happened." He jumped down and I caught him. "Spill." I used Y/n's words.

"Well, the masked lady locked up me and Elizabeth in this cell but obviously, I broke the door down, and then when were talking to Elizabeth's sister, the masked lady came back and blasted me in this dark scary place." He explained. "I didn't know Y/n was with us. She wasn't in any cell near us or Elizabeth's sister."

"You're saying that you got blasted all the way here by that masked image? And you're not with Y/n?" I asked for confirmation.

"Yeah, she probably feared my true abilities." He released smoked from his nose. "Anyway, let's get out of here. The first thing we gotta do is save Elizabeth and Y/n, right?"

"Sorry but.." I stood up. "You go on ahead, Shisho."

"Why?"

I guess I can't let go so easily...there's still something I gotta do.

"Correct, there is still something you need to do." The same voice from earlier said. The trumpet glowed a pink like color as it spoke. Did it read my mind?

"W-who's that? Hey, you!" Shisho asked.

"Someone from the Goddess race?" I asked.

"Goddess race?"

"Show yourself!" I commanded. "Where are you talking to us from?"

"Unfortunately, that is not possible at this time. As we lost our powers at the ancient war, it'll take some time to rebuild ourselves into what we were before."

"Man, you're a stuck-up." Shisho commented.

"However, resurrecting one fairy would be a trifle."

"I know I shouldn't say this when I'm the one asking for it, but do you Goddesses really grant anyone's wishes just like that?" I chuckled. This seems too good to be true. "In exchange for my life are you--"

"No. We have no intention of taking your life. Instead, we shall give you a mission."

"Hey, Ban! No matter how you slice it, this person's really sketchy."

"Yeah, maybe. But keep your mouth shut, Shisho."

"Shut your mouth, pig."

"A-a double whammy!" He exclaimed.

"Gotcha! You name it, I'll do it." I tell her.

"We want you to kill a certain person."

"Did you say 'kill'?" I asked almost in a mocking tone. 

"Ban! C'mon this is bad news." He reached for me but I blocked his nose with my hands to keep him from me.

"For someone as exalted as a Goddess, that's a vile request." I say.

"You won't accept this mission, then?"

"I told you, I would do anything. So, who do I kill?"

"Currently, he goes by this name. Seven Deadly Sins, Dragon Sin....Meliodas."  I gasped. "Think you can do it?"

"Is there another option?" I asked  a little hesitantly. 

"Maybe." She said in a sinister tone. "You will kill another person."

"Who?" I asked, again, in a mocking way. "Who do I have to kill?"

"She goes by many names. Dementor. The Eight Deadly Sins, Eagle Sin of Death, Sempiternal Y/n. Or just by the name, Y/n. If you cannot kill her, simply give us to her and your Fairy will be brought back to life."
