AN - I know this isn't in the seven deadly sins manga/anime art style. But you get the gist of what I'm trying to show you. I thought some visual cues might help that. Also the editing is a bit rough but it'll do.

Galand was undeniably stronger then us all, more so once Merlin was turned to stone. Even with my memories returning, and my strength increasing as I returned to my true form, he was too strong. Diane was out of the game, Meliodas too. I was stood on my legs, shaking as I glared up at the armoured man.

"Last chance Amihan. Come with me back to Zeldris and I shall not kill you." Galand spoke nonchalantly, a smile curving up the helmet. I growled at the suggestion.

"You can tell Zeldris that I will never leave Meliodas' side. My curse will just resurrect me and even in the next life I will stay by his side. So kill me if you like, but I will never betray him." I raised my dagger into the air, my demon markings fading as I stumbled towards Galand. He cackled at my words, raising up his weapon.

"Good, because killing you will be a lot more fun!" Just as I closed my eyes, accepting my fate, I felt someone grab ahold of me and take the brunt of the attack. I opened my eyes as we flew through the air, making eye contact with Meliodas. He was the last thing I saw before colliding with the ground and having darkness overcome me.

"So you are still alive. After all this time." Everything was dark. But I could make that voice out from a room full of shouting people. No matter how much time passed, I always would know his voice.

"Zel..? Is that really you?" I turned to the direction of his voice, seeing his frame coming closer to me. A scowl sat on his lips and he had his arms crossed against his chest. I ran to him, trying to envelope him in a hug, but he put a hand out to stop me. I paused, staring into his purple eyes. He glared at me, removing his hand from me and taking a step back.

"What are you doing Zeldris?" I murmured, tucking my hair behind my ear. His eyes watched my every move, like he was drinking me in slowly.

"You don't get to disappear for 3000 years and act like everything is fine, Amihan! Do you know what my mission is? To kill not only the Seven Deadly Sins, but to also kill you." My breath hitched and I flinched away from Zeldris. The warmth he always let me see was gone and I was now experiencing how everyone else knew Zeldris to be. He built a wall between us. I could feel it glaring down at me. Mocking me.

"What's the point in killing me? Your father cursed me to constantly be reincarnated, and we both know Meliodas can't die. Your attempts would be futile." I decided that if Zeldris was going to be like this towards me, then I wasn't going to grovel for his approval. I made my decision 3000 years ago and I still stand by it.

"Not exactly. I'm not sure what father has planned for my brother, but I know the point in killing you. You will be resurrected, but you will be a baby once more. The Holy War can commence again and this time, the demon race will be victorious and you will regret betraying us." I scoffed at his words, standing tall and glaring at my best friend. I hate being on the opposite side to Zeldris. But even just seeing him after all this time is filling a part of my soul. We may have to be enemies in the near future, but Zeldris will always be my best friend. One day he will understand my choices and forgive me for them. I know he will.

"Good luck Zel, we both know I have always been stronger then you." I teased, poking his chest with my finger and letting a small smile fall on my face. He looked down at me and scoffed, turning his head to the side.

"You aren't who you used to be, Amihan. And neither am I. You've even let Galand defeat you. You're pathetic." I sarcastically smiled at his words, before clearing my throat and standing tall.

"I may not be a ten commandment anymore. Hell Zeldris, you may even be stronger then me now. But one thing that will never change, is that Meliodas will always be able to defeat you. I've had enough of this reunion now. Until next time, Zel." I waved my hand slowly as I felt the darkness as well as Zeldris being teared away from me. I could hear Meliodas calling my name, slowly getting louder and louder.

"Come on Ami. You've got to wake up." I heard Meliodas mutter, feeling his hands holding mine. My eyes fluttered open to see the regular Meliodas. The Captain of the Sins Meliodas, not the Demon I once knew. I smiled warmly and squeezed his hand back.

"Can't a girl get a good nap around here anymore?" I groaned, my throat as dry as sandpaper. His green eyes darted to my presumably purple ones, a light engulfing his as soon as they met. He launched up and tackled my body in a bone crushing hug, sobs echoing from his soul. I froze, slightly alarmed and confused.

"What's wrong Mel? I couldn't of been damaged that badly." I grunted, the air slowly being cut off to my lungs by how hard Meliodas was hugging me.

"Tell me you remember me Ami. Tell me this is over and you're fully back to me." He begged, his voice cracking in the middle of his sentence. I pushed him up lightly so we were now face to face.

"I remember you, Meliodas. I remember everything. I'm Amihan, the former second in command to the leader of the Ten Commandments. You're Meliodas, said leader of the Ten Commandments and the demon kings son. Which means Elizabeth-" He cut me off hastily, planting his palm on my mouth and 'shhh'ing me.

"I don't know what's going on with the curse if I'm honest Amihan. In all the lives you've lived, not once have you remembered me. We always meet, become inseparable and then you're taken away before you can remember. Somehow, I think you becoming immortal changed the curse. You can't die now so you can't be reborn. But I don't know if this affects the rest of the curse. If she remembers us, she could still die. Please don't let her know that she was involved in our lives longer then she knows. I need you to promise me this Ami." I recoiled at his words, the meaning of them leaving a sour taste in my mouth. My brows knotted together and my lips formed a thin line.

"I am remembering you for the first time in 3000 years and instead of celebrating this for us, you're still concerned about her. It's never going to change, is it Meliodas?" I moved from out under him and jumped out of the bed, ignoring the slight pain my joints felt. He scrambled to his feet and stood infront of me, a few inches taller then me now.

"Ami please, I'm sorry okay?" He pleaded, trying to hold my hands. I shook them off and looked up at him through my lashes.

"I can't do this right now. But there's something important I need to tell you." I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose.

"I spoke to Zeldris. I'm not sure how he did it but I know it was real." I gulped and perched on the edge of the bed again. Meliodas crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes.

"What happened?" Purple began dancing with emerald in his eyes, his anger towards his brother making his demon side want to lash out.

"We were in a dark space. He's angry at us both and told me his mission with Britainia starts with killing us both as well as the rest of the sins. Im not sure in the point of killing us as it's impossible, but he wants me dead so that when the holy war restarts, I won't be old enough to put up any fight." The room was silent once I finished speaking. but the magic radiating off of Meliodas was deafening. His demon side was trying to take over and so far was winning.

"That bastard. If he thinks for a second that I would let him-" I placed my hand on his thigh and squeezed to gain his attention. He paused and turned to me with blazing purple eyes.

"I know Meliodas. It's okay. I made a promise to you over 3000 years ago and even though I am no longer the commandment of loyalty, I still pride myself on that trait of mine." It felt strange being back to my true identity. Like my entire being was made stagnant for years whilst I bounced from one life to the next, all of them ending in the same way. I noticed how I didn't remember the lives I lived between this one of 'Amihan the Undead' and my original life. Perhaps in some way, the curse hadn't been fully eradicated.

"I've missed you so much Ami." Meliodas sighed, the demon side to him slowly sinking away and the melancholy look on the human appearing Meliodas showed. I fell back into the bed and ran my hand down my face.

"I've missed you too Mel. More then you'll ever know."
