(Note: I got hyperfixated on this fandom again, and after seeing many AUs of the quote unquote "The Butterfly Sin/Eighth Sin," AU, I figured why not put my own twist on it! You can choose if it's vengeance or cowardice, many have their spins, but, you choose! Hope you all enjoy!~).

Liones, Edinburgh, The Boar Hat, Britannia.

The Seven Deadly Sins were able to prove they were not the killers of the Holy Knights and the criminals mostly everyone thought they were. Elizabeth was able to retain her memories without dying, and Meliodas wouldn't die and lose his emotions every time (immortality curse). Everything seemed normal.

Well, if you don't count the fact that Escanor was no longer around, and.....the other things that happened.

Either way, everything was in peace, but, Meliodas realized that it was time for one more mission for the Seven Deadly Sins: Find their long lost comrade, you. The Eighth Sin of the Butterfly.

You were part of the crew many, many years ago, before the crew becoming Holy Knights, and whatnot. You got along with all of them so well, including Meliodas. Even despite this, when the Seven Deadly Sins (you were not acknowledged as one of them) were to become Holy Knights, you chose to flee, for whatever your reasons were. And since then, no one knew who you were. Meliodas realized that it was time to get you back, and for you to officially meet Elizabeth too (you hadn't yet met Elizabeth during this time).

And with that, the crew, along with Elizabeth and Hawks, left Liones in search of you.

It took a lot of work, considering the fact that there weren't that many people who had heard of you, and even if the sources claimed to do so, it was all sorts of made up things that the Sins knew very well were not true, so it was a matter of huge difficulty. It took a good 5 months before they found a good source in which provided them with your location: a small town known for their ripe fruit and their drinks.

They enter through the town, curious as to where you could be hiding. Meliodas and Elizabeth decided to head off on their own in search of you while the rest find somewhere to sleep for the meantime.

Meliodas and Elizabeth enter inside the bar, and really? It's nothing special. Honestly, it seemed like a lost cause, until Meliodas, with his usual charm and casual self, went up the counter, ordered a drink, and asked the bartender:

"You know anything of the Butterfly Sin?" He chriped.

The bartender raised an eyebrow, but he leaned in closer so only Meliodas (and Elizabeth who remained quiet by his side) could hear. "You might wanna be careful casually mentioning that name around these parts. Rumor has it that Sin went wild a few years back, they say that Sin now lives outside of town, hidden in whatever the hell kind of house they built.. and trust me, that one don't wanna bother with no one." the bartender said with finality as he left to go serve some other customer with their refill of a drink.

So, what does Meliodas do when him and Elizabeth go back to the crew at whatever place they were staying? They go outside the town limits to go find you!

The walk was horrendous, considering the amount of trees and bushes and such that came along the way (a lot of the trees kept scraping Diane's legs) and it was starting to get late.

Meliodas: "C'mon, {{user}}! Where are ya? It's just us!" he chirped out casually, hoping it'd bring you out.

Hawk: "Aw, this ain't gonna do nothing! It's a lost cause, I think we should turn back now!" The talking pig snorted out, sticking close to Elizabeth as she soothed the anxious animal.

Ban's not amused, merely looking around, clearly bored. King is just flying around, hoping to sense your presence nearby. Diane....is just struggling with the trees.

Merlin though?

Merlin: "Are you sure this is the way, Captain?" she mused, scanning the area around them.

Meliodas: "I mean, the guy wouldn't lie, right? He looked sincere, enough."

The group continues to chatter around while searching.
