Y/N continues to stare down at the young boy, her fists still clenches tightly. The boy looks up at her with a big smile. Y/N falls to her knees and quickly hugs the boy tightly, tears running down her face.

"Oh, my sweet boy." She says, stroking the back of his head. "My sweet Tyran."

"I've missed you, mama!" Tyran says, hugging her close. "I've been waiting for you for ages!" Y/N pulls away from the boy.

"How did you know I was coming?" Y/N asks, wiping her tears away.

"The nice lady told me." He replies, smiling. The sin gives him a confused look before he continues. "She stayed with me and looked after me!"

"So you weren't alone?" She asks, frowning. Tyran shakes his head, smiling at her.

"Nope. I had so much fun with her! We would play hide and seek, tag and told funny jokes!" Tyran says. Y/N smiles before standing up.

"How about we head back to my group." She says, holding her hand out to the boy. "I think they will love to meet you." He grabs it and the two begin walking away until Tyran pulls her hand back.

"We forgot something mama!" He says, turning around and pulling her in another direction. "The lady told me I need to show you something before you left!"

"What is it?" Y/N asks.

"Just follow me!" He says and she does so. The two walk around the necropolis for what seems like it isn't going to end. They go around crystals, over them, under them. The scents of Y/N's group slowly getting weaker and weaker.  Tyran pulls Y/N with a big smile on his face, Y/N sharing his expression as they walked.

Y/N is being dragged by Tyran through the small village. Her face sweat drops while Tyran laughs.

"Come on Y/N! Granny said she wants to meet you!" He says.

"I know, I know. But are you sure she's fine with who I am? She isn't gonna try and kill me?" Y/N asks, walking so she doesn't fall over from Tyran's dragging.

"Of course, she won't silly. She understands what it's like behind judged and accused of being a witch...Well, you're more of being accused of being a reaper but the same thing." Y/N shakes her head amused.

"I think I've done way worse than her. Hell, I think I'll even put the devil to shame." Tyran laughs.

"And that's why you're awesome!" He says and continues to drag her along. She smiles at the boy softly, chuckling to herself that she has found someone so young, who has had losses that he doesn't even remember having. And fights that he never backs down in. How could a child be so strong and know of the cruelty of the earth, yet still have the child's innocence.

"Humans always find a way to amaze me." She mutters.

Tyran stops walking and turns to face Y/N with a big smile before pointing behind him.

"There it is!" He says. Y/N follows his pointing and her gaze comes up from the bottom of a giant crystal and slowly makes it's way up until she sees something buried within the crystal. Her eyes widen slightly as she walks past Tyran slowly, her mouth open slightly.

"So this is where you've been all along huh." She says, placing a hand on her hip looking up at one half of the doubled sided axe...Her sacred weapon, Crono. "It's been far too long."

After Y/N had run off, the others left in the small group continue their way to where Ban and King ran off to, knowing that their friend can find them easily.

"Ban!" Meliodas shouts.

"King!" Diane shouts.

"Sir Ban!" Elizabeth shouts.

"King come back!" Hawk shouts.

"Man, where'd those two run off to now! If only we have Y/N's nose!" Diane says, slightly annoyed. "Why did she run off now of all times" Elizabeth walks behind Meliodas, her hands on his shoulders. He suddenly stops walking, causing Elizabeth to bump into him.

"Is everything okay?" She asks.

"I don't think we're alone here." He says unconcerned causing Elizabeth to let out a scared sound. She begins looking side to side, followed by Hawk.

"I don't see anybody around here but us." She says.

"Yeah, no ghosts have appeared and tried to scare us, or anything," Hawk adds.

"I'd be terrified if one had," Elizabeth says, still looking around. Hawk and Elizabeth share a look of terror, overthinking the situation.

"You know what, it's probably just Y/N playing a joke on us. And there's no point in hanging around here." Hawk says quickly. "Why don't we go and look for those two, what do you say?!"

"Sounds good to me!" Elizabeth agrees as she pushes Meliodas forwards and they begin walking again.

Y/N stands in front of the giant green crystal, looking up at her sacred weapon. She walks up to the crystal and puts her hand on it.

"I think one good punch should crack this in half." She says, turning her head to Tyran. "Don't ya think?" He shakes his head.

"I don't think so, mama." He replies. "And besides your hand is hurt."

"What this?" Y/N gestures to her hand. "This doesn't bother me at all. Now, I would stand back and I'll be getting him out." Tyran doesn't move and Y/N stands back slightly, making it so she is arm's length away from the crystal. She takes in a deep breath, collecting all her strength into her hand before stepping forwards and punching. Nothing happens. Y/N stares up at it dumbfounded. "W-What, how!"

"I did tell you. It's not gonna let you get your weapon back."

"It? Who's it?" Y/N asks, turning to face Tyran.

"The necropolis. It's not letting you get your weapon back. " Tyran says, walking forwards. "You see, you are neither alive nor dead. You are what we call a limbo. You are between life and death, so it sorta cancelled each other out. The necropolis senses that and so it sees you as, well, nothing. So it gives you no power in this realm."

"But I'm not dead. I'm breathing and my heart is beating." Y/N says. "I mean I know I'm the Sin of Death but I'm not dead."

"You aren't dead but your soul is," Tyran says. "Your soul died the day I died, mama."

Tyran's eyes slowly close, his chest slowly coming to a stop as his hand falls limp in Y/N's hand.

"As they say when someone you love dies you feel like you lose a bit of yourself too. I took all the love you gave me, everything. Leaving nothing but regret and guilt."

"Your not dead, Tyran," Y/N says, shaking her head.

Tyran's glazed over eyes stare up at Y/N's tearful ones. Her begging slowly came to a stop.

"I know your not. You standing right in front of me. I hugged you Tyran. I hugged you! I don't think you can do that with ghosts."

"No you can't, but if you have a deep and strong connection to a ghost then you can both see and touch them." Tyran smiles at Y/N. "I'm gone, mama. Please, let me go." Y/N grits her teeth.

"No, you are not dead. You are right here." Y/N turns back around, cracking her knuckles. "I'm gonna break this damn crystal, even if my hands start to bleed!" She begins punching at it rapidly. She tries everything. Kicking it, punching it, throwing other crystals at it, hell even throwing her entire body in it...But nothing happens.

"Your hurting yourself, mama. Please stop it." Tyran pleads, looking at Y/N's bruised and bloodied figure.

"It doesn't hurt!" Y/N says, holding her shoulder and standing up shakily.

"You have to let me go!"

"NO!" Y/N shouts, giving the crystal one last punch causing dust. Once the dust clears, Y/N still has her knuckles on the crystal, bloodied up. The crystal still has no damage. Y/N head falls as her shoulders begin shaking. Tears drop down near Y/N's feet as she crumples to the ground. "I don't want to let you go. I promised your grandmother that I would protect you." She closes her eyes, tears continuing to fall down her cheeks. "It's all my fault. I should have stayed away from you. I knew I was cursed but yet I still stayed around you. I just wanted someone to talk to... I-I didn't want to be alone anymore." Tyran slowly walks over to the crying woman, kneeling beside her.

"It's not your fault mama." He says. "You were alone and scared. Anyone would have wanted someone to talk too." Y/N moves to a sitting position, leaning her back against the crystal and her legs stretched out in front of her. "Don't you remember the first time we met?"

"Of course I do," Y/N says, sniffing.

"Well, then you will remember that you saved me from being hit by those two bullies." Tyran shuffles closer to Y/N. "Someone who says that they are cursed with death had saved someone from death."

"But then you died anyway." She says. Tyran shakes his head.

"Well everyone died eventually. That's life. Some people die earlier than they should and it's sad at first but then you learn to accept it. It just shows you how precious life can be and that you must cherish every moment of it."

"But you never got to cherish it. You spend most of your life being looked down upon and hurt."

"Yes, but to me, that was only a small part of my life." Tyran lays their head on Y/N's shoulder. "You and Granny filled the rest of it for me. And then when Granny died, you helped me accept it." Y/N doesn't answer as she lays her head against Tyran's. "That's what you need to do mama. If you want to get your weapon, you have to accept it." Y/N closes her eyes.

During their search for King and Ban, the rest of the group had encountered a holy knight by the name of Gulia. Meliodas had sent Hawks and Elizabeth away while he and Diane began their fight with her. However, Gulia kept beating the two sins and was about to blow them up until Ban had used his Snatch ability to get stop her sword. Unfortunately, he too was struck down easily. They each took turns to try and take her down but all failed. Eventually, Gulia managed to get them all on the ground with Diane hunched over with Meliodas held close to her chest, bruises all over her while Ban is sat beside her leg.

"And what do we have here, even if my explosion wasn't full power I'm impressed that you didn't just go flying with the pressure wave," Gulia says, hand on hip and looking at the three sins. "The strength of you giants are truly something to behold." Gulia goes to shoot another one of her fire explosions only for the axe to spin towards it and blast it back at her. She moves to the side a little and the blast hits a crystal behind her.  "Ah, lieutenant of the Eight Deadly Sins. Y/N, the Wolf Sin of Death. I was wondering when you were gonna show up." And might I add you live up to everything I've heard about you."

"I'm so glad that my reputation precedes me even after all these years," Y/N says, smirking as she stands on top of a crystal.  The spinning axe comes directly towards her and she catches it by the handle - her hand that is around the handle is no longer bandaged and what is replaced is a jagged scar.

"Y/N!" Meliodas shouts, looking up at her with a smile.

"So glad you could finally join the party," Ban says.

"Oh hush, you ran away first."

"Is that your sacred weapon!" Diane asks, seeing the axe in her hand. Y/N nods.

"Sure is. At least only half of it." Gulia clears her throat.

"I'm sorry to interrupt but I believe that we were ready to fight?" She asks. Y/N stands her ground before plopping down to sit on the crystal, crossing her legs.

"Nah. I'm tired after punching a giant crystal with my hand. I'll let them take care of you." Y/N says. Meliodas, Diane and Ban all give her weird looks. "Don't look at me, she's the one who's trying to kill you." Ban stands up, sighing as Meliodas comes to stand beside him.

"We don't need Y/N for this," Ban says. "I say it's time for you and me to wrap this up."

"This is the legendary order?" Gulia mutters to herself, shaking her head. "I'm especially surprised at Y/N's lack of fighting." She gasps as she sees Meliodas and Ban running at her from both sides. She quickly uses an explosion to blow up in Ban's face while clicking her fingers to blow smoke in Meliodas's face, who then gets kicked by Gulia. Ban jumps from behind her only for Gulia to turn around and stab her rapier through his throat. "In the end, I suppose legends are mere fantasy anyway." Y/N sees something from the corner of her eye and smiles. Gulia sees it, however  before she could react she is pushed back by a spear pushing through Ban's chest and pushing her back into a crystal. Ban turn's his head to see King, standing on the other side of the spear.

"Hello there, Ban." He says, tilting his head.

Whelp, only took one part to finish this. It feels like I rushed the ending so I may come back to this and make it a bit longer but I just wanna see if you guys like it where I focus more on the parts personal to Y/N or just write the entire scene even if she doesn't show up in the scene! So do comment if you'd like, on what you prefer:

Me to focus on the Y/N personal= shorter chapters

OR

Write the entire scenes, even if Y/N isn't in them until way later
