I woke up a lot later then the rest of the group did, but Diane was filling me in with everything that had happened whilst I slept. Ban did in fact leave and King joined him, that showed me it really was to do with Elaine. I do wish he had said goodbye to me before leaving but I guess that would be too hard on him. Diane also informed me on how Gowther had removed Guila and her little brothers memories in order to learn about love.

Merlin transformed him back to his original state - a small doll who was created by someone else. It was an interesting concept really, and made sense to why Gowther was how he was. Elizabeth was once again joining us on our journey, though what Diane told me next hit hard.

"I'm trying to convince her to confess her love to Meliodas, though she isn't too keen. Maybe you could help her?" There was a hopeful glint in diane's big purple eyes, almost like she was begging me to help her do this.

"She should tell him how she feels." I spoke with a heavy heart.

"I can't tell her Ami. She's a goddess for fuck sake. She's everything that is good in the world, whilst I am the embodiment of evil's sperm." Meliodas got up from his seat on the log we were on and paced infront of me, his hand tugging on his hair slightly. The words burned my soul to hear, but I didn't let that show.

"You should tell her how you feel, Mel. We're on the brink of a Holy War. Either of you could die, and I guarantee the bleakness of this whole situation will be lessened a bit by your confession. Everyone wants to die loved, whether they admit it or not." I envied that goddess to no end. I could die happy knowing Meliodas loved me, yet she doesn't even realise he's completely in love with her. Painfully so.

"You're right Ami. What would I do without you? You know I love ya, don't you?" Although I knew that his sentiment behind those words held a different connotation when being spoke to me, I couldn't help but let it ignite a fire in my heart.

"Don't start getting sappy with me Meliodas. That's gross." I laughed, though I'm sure the superficial grin didn't reach my eyes. It was enough to convince him I was fine though, which was sad in its own way.

"Amihan? Are you okay?" Diane softly spoke, placing an arm over my shoulders, knocking me out of my thoughts. I could feel the pain of myself in that dream. My heart felt like it was being ripped from my chest whilst the scene played through my mind. The tears I was holding back in that moment flooded down my face in the present, a small sob falling from my mouth. Dianes eyes widened as I clutched my chest, trying to make the pain stop.

"What's wrong Amihan?" Diane whimpered, holding onto me tightly as more sobs fell out of my mouth. I couldn't stop crying. It's like I was stuck in a dream.

We both panted as we fell apart, his muscular arm being a pillow for my now foggy head. My whole body ached and sweat drenched us both.

"Wow." I chuckled, turning to the man and bashfully smiling up at him. His cheeks were red too from the activity we just spent a nice amount of time doing. He met my gaze and smirked at me, reaching over to tuck some hair behind my ear.

"You are the most beautiful woman to exist, Ami. I hope you know that." He murmured, using the hand round my shoulders to draw small and comforting circles.

"Amihan, what's going on? You're worrying me." Diane didn't let go of my shoulders as she tried to hold me together, but I was so deep in my vision I couldn't even form a response. The only noise I let out was sobs that shook my whole body.

"I need you to help me Amihan. Please." Meliodas begged, his warm hands holding my shaking, cold ones. I was so confused. How could he be even considering this?

"I'm the commandment of Loyalty, Meliodas. You're putting me in an unfair position. If I go with you and that... that goddess... I would be betraying my entire race. But if I don't go with you, I'm betraying you. Either way I'm breaking my own commandment, you know what will happen to me if I do that." I huffed, tearing my hands away from his and turning around. My hearts felt like they were breaking into a million tiny fragments. He wanted to become a traitor to the demon race to help the goddess he has fallen in love with. The idea of that broke my very soul.

"Please Ami. I can't stand the thought of you being against me in battle. But this is for the best, a Holy War is coming! I don't want to fight on the wrong side forever. And I don't want that for you either." He continued and I knew he would be giving me the most sincere stare if I was looking at him. I ran a hand through my hair, tugging slightly.

"What about Zeldris? I can't just leave him." I turned back to him which was a big mistake. His big eyes stared back at me with a pleading glint. He pulled me into his embrace, cuddling me tightly.

"He has my father and the entire demon race protecting him. I need you to be with me on this or I have no idea how I'll survive. Please, Ami." He squeezed me a little harder in the hug and I felt my shoulder become wet. He was... crying? I pulled away slightly so his arms would remain around me but his face was visible. Tears streamed down his rosy cheeks, his entire aura showing his desperation to me. As much as I hated the goddess race, especially Elizabeth, I would do anything for the man I loved. Regardless to his feelings towards me, the important thing was that I loved him. And I am loyal to those I love.

"Calm down Mel. I'll come with you. I'll be by your side until the day I die, I promise you that."

"What's going on in here?" I jumped as the voice from my dream penetrated my mind. I snapped my eyes up to see Meliodas stood in the doorway, his brows knotted in confusion. A louder sob fell from my lips seeing him, but my sadness was consumed by rage as Elizabeth fell into my eyesight. I screamed and pulled away from Diane, almost feeling like someone else was taking control of me.

"Get her out of here now!" I screeched, pointing to Elizabeth. I could feel my magic radiating off of me, begging to be released to send her away from me.

"Captain? What's going on with her eyes now?" Diane spoke with unease, her bottom lip out from the state I managed to get myself in. I felt like I was going crazy.

"It's okay Diane. Could you leave with Elizabeth please? And make Amihan a tea please." He ordered though didn't let his cheerful tone drop. I fell back into the bed, a scream tearing from my throat as the tears didn't stop. The girls both left and Meliodas cautiously walked towards me.

"Tell me what's wrong Ami." Meliodas softly spoke once he had sat down beside me. I held my head with my hands, begging for this feeling to go away.

"I feel like I'm going mad, Meliodas. I was fine then all this scenes played out in my mind and all the emotions I was feeling in those scenes won't stop hurting me." I wailed, leaning into him and placing my head on his lap.

"You're not crazy Ami. It's okay. I promise I'll explain everything but now is not the time. I was originally coming up to tell you both that we've just arrived in Camelot but an Albion is attacking the whole town." I shot up at the information, hurriedly swiping away my tears and clearing my throat.

"We best get a move on then. But I know you know something Meliodas. And I need answers before I explode." He nodded at my words and extended his hand to help me to my feet. I accepted it and calmed my breathing, bringing my full attention to the task at hand.
