"so why did you join brother's crew?" Asked topaz.
Currently Scathach, Topaz, Altria, and Ban were walking tighter back to the kingdom after their small training session.
They left Meliodas behind after he told them to go ahead. Tough reluctant they still went as they knew he needed to do something.
"Oh that?, he promised me to make me a great swordman" she said with a smile.
"Swordman?, don't you use a spear?" She looked at the red spear In hear hands that her brother had gifted Scathach.
"Yes he said that my talent with the spear was great, but despite that I want to become better. Coming from a family of only swordmen I was nothing but a disappointment. So he promised me to make me into a great warrior that would put my family into shame and regret from ever looking down on me" she said in a resolute tone as she recalled the previous day when they met
------
Flashback to the previous night-
"Don't worry I'm not here to hurt you, the name is Meliodas Pendragon. And I'm here to give you an offer" said the mysterious man.
"An offer?" Sha sked in confusion.
"Indeed, I would like you to join my crew" Said the Meliodas.
A crew?
The man in front of her seems strong as he could easily sneak near her. She might be absolutely shit with a sword but her senses are that of a seasoned warrior.
"Fufu yes, I'm the leader of a mercenary group called the Tarrot card Party" he said with a chuckle.
'Wait isn't that!' she remember that just today an enigmatic group of mercenaries defeated the calamity that was the Black Dragon.
"So you recognize me?" He said.
"Yes you are practically the talk of the kingdom" said Scathach, the head of the Skadi family was there when the queen received the saviors.
But of course he didn't like them at all, especially when such powerful beings were out of his grasp.
"But why me?, I'm sure you could find many other talented people in the kindom like my sister. It's just like you said, I'm bad with a. Blade" she wondered why out of all People he woul chose her, the disgrace of the Skadi family.
"That's obvious isn't it? Ita because I'm looking for you, not your sister. And because you have talent and potential" he answered.
"Potential?, I don't have potential with the swor-" before Scathach could finish her self deprecating words the man spoke.
"Who said I was talking about a sword?" He reached into the air as if trying to grab something, Scathach eyes went wide open as he saw a blood read spear apear out of nowhere in his hands.
"Here, use this" throwing the spear towards Scathach he took out a giant silver sword and took a stance
"Prepare yourself Scathach because this is only the begining" with that he swing his sword.
Scathach panicked as she didn't know how to use a spear, she closed her eyes and swung her spear.
*Clang*
Scathach barely managed to parry off Meliodas attack.
As time went on the two fought, one with a sword and had the intention to kill and the other that was defending herself with a spear, a weapon she had never touched before.
*Clang*
With a downward slash Scathach was blown back, skiding through the floor like a rock being throw on a lake.
Scathach managed stabilize herself but by the time she did Meliodas was already closing in.
Her hands hurt, her legs and arms were numb from the force behind his blow. At this rate she would fall from exhaustion before she can beat him, can she even?.
'No choice then' Scathach grated her teeth and clenched her muscles as she was about to attempt a last ditch attack.
Going onto a throwing position she threw the spear towards him with all her strength, unaware that she had subconsciously awakened her power.
Meliodas raise an eye at her attack but merely paried it to the side and continued to walk.
Scathach dropped to her knees in exhaustion as she waited her death.
But her eyes went wide as she saw the spear that she had throw at him piercing through the back of his chest.
Even Meliodas looked surprised as he looked at the tip of the spear pierce his chest.
Dropping to his knees Sctach smiled in happiness that she won. She didn't know how the spear came back and hit him on the chest but she didn't care at this point, all she was happy about was that her attacker hit and that he was a out to die, after all nobody can survive a spear to...the...chest
Meliodas yanked the spear out of his chest and drank some healing potions that he always has in his storage just in case, after a few of them he was fully healed up from the wound.
Scathach's eyes drakened as he saw the Meliodas walk towards her. The battle has already tired her out and she couldn't move her body except her arms a bit.
She could drag her way out but that's no warrior's way to die.
As he got close Scratches closed her eyes, awaiting her death at his sword but it never came.
She opened her eyes and looked up to see Meliodas smiling at her.
"Tell me girl, what is your dream?" he asked.
Scathach seems confused as to why he would ask such a question but still answers "To become a swordman that my family will recognize!" She declared.
A smile crept up his mouth as he reached out his hand to the kneeling Scathach "Then let me help you reach that goal"
Flash back end-
"And the rest is history, I decided to join his crew as he promised to make me a great swordman and in return I joined his group. I also found out that I have a cursed Technique" said Scathach with a nostalgic tone despite it happening not so long ago
"What is it?" Asked topaz with curiosity, the other also listened as they were curious as well.
"It's called 'True Aim' I can send attacks to enemies that will lock on to them and move towards them no matter the obstacle between them. The only way to neutralize it is to completeley stop the movement of the attack or destroy the weapon/attack completely" she answered, it was a rather simple yet powerfull skill.
"I see that a pretty powerfull skill, mine is-" before Topaz could tell her her skill the sky became clouded as loud explosion sounds reverberated near them.
They all panicked as they realized that they were near Meliodas.
They quickly rushed back as they found Meliodas petting and playing with some strange dog.
"Oh guys you're back" he said with a smile.
The others looked at him, probably wondering what bullshit he had done this time around.
