FOR THE LOVE OF A DEMON

chapter 29: Who is Estarossa?

"AHMYA!"

Ahmya opened her eyes to see Derieri looking at her.

"He took Elizabeth," Ahmya sat up quickly to see who said that. Derieri tried to calm her down as she got up. She dusted herself off

Ahmya clicked her teeth. She was the daughter of the literal devil. Not to mention a gatekeeper as well. Every single time she's about to do something that'll remind everyone of who she is, she gets a headache and passes out. Whoever is writing her story might as well write her out. Everyone seemed to be fine, although they were talking too much

"Where's Gowther?"

"The Archangels are dead now, so I'm the only one who can," Ahmya stood up and approached the sins. 

"You're talking too much," her wings came out. "Are we going or not?"

"Going without us Ahmya?"

"Can't you archangels stay dead?"

Sariel explained why the body he inhabited matured before the two of them released their hosts. Ahmya shook out her shoulders before her wings fluttered. "You guys are talking too much."

"I can help you. Let me go too," Derieri said from behind me.

"Oh, come on. You must be joking, Derieri. Now, what could you possibly do to help us?"

"And even if you could, there isn't a single person here who trusts you,"

Ahmya pulled her face and before she could speak in Derieri's defense King, beat her to it. Oh, look at that her friends were getting along. This is how kids feel when they invite both friend groups over at the same time and they get along. She shook her head, she needed to focus on Elizabeth.

"Ahmya"

Ahmya turned to where she thought the voice was coming from even though she knew it was in her head. Taro's voice was laced with urgency. She was still mad at the kin. They didn't want to tell her anything. She also never seemed to get a break to figure out what they were doing. Why go against her orders? Why didn't they tell her about her curse? More importantly, why wasn't she dead after the 8th time Elizabeth died?

"Whatever you're doing you better do it fast" 

"What I'm doing?! What are you guys even doing?"

"For someone who was in such a rush you're sure taking your time," Ahmya scowled at Sariel and at the fact, her brother just ghosted her She flapped her wings that sent her up into the air. She broke ahead of the group immediately tracking Estarossa. Sariel caught up next to her. "What? Your boy toys distracting you. They're normally right by your side. Always so fussy. Why are they with Meliodas-"

She flew faster to get away from but she wish she knew the answer.

Ahmya knew one thing though. She wanted to see Meliodas again. She just wanted there to be peace. She wished for him to return to her. She shook away her thoughts, better to focus on the present than the future. Ahmya looked back at everyone and managed to spot Gowther at the back. For some reason, her head hurt just at the mention of his name. Although her head had been hurting for centuries at this point, it made her sick. Maybe it was her lack of hearts, her body couldn't withstand her current power levels. She almost stopped flying. That made sense, it would explain her fatigue.

No matter, she'd just push through. She flew even further ahead till she saw where Estarossa had taken Elizabeth. It seemed to be the remnants of a celestial theatre. Estarossa's body was covered in a giant muscular one of demonic magic, which seemed to also enclose Elizabeth.

"Elizabeth is mine,"

Ahmya felt something inside her snap.

"You're fucking dead,"

She ignored the others behind her and went straight for her kill. Her sword emitted a white glow as it struck the demon in its neck or where his neck should've been. The magic reacted and blocked her attack but it still hurt him. She dodged his attack as her allies began their attack. 

He threw black sludge at her but she cut through it. She missed the second attack and got stuck to the wall.

Ugh, I should've just ignored everything as I did in the first war. But a lot of your friends died in the first war and that's why you're fighting in this one.

Ahmya cut through the sludge and her heels clicked against the broken steps. She twirled her sword once before she took off destroying the steps completely. A vision crossed her eyes and she saw Zeldris about to die by Escanor's hand before it shifted to Taro healing Gil. Duke had impeccable timing she was distracted but King quickly grabbed her out of the way.

"Ahmya you good? You aren't going to go crazy again are you?!"

Another vision flashed in front of her eyes. The kin stood in front of the dark sphere as the two demon mentors were being defeated by Merlin.

"Taro-sama, but you just saved Gil?! Why stand against us?!"

"Taro-sama, surely you don't think I'm one of the impure members of the goddess clan, do you?"

"It would seem the others might be having bad luck saving Meliodas if they have to fight the kin,"

"What?!"

I raised a shield as a wave of hellfire was sent our way.

"Focus here. Worry later!" King listened and went to continue his attack but AHmya remained frozen, her wings slowly giving out as she fell to her knees.

"Huh, well I know this feeling," Ahmya held her head as pain overcame it.

The three brothers. The three sons of the demon king.

Estarossa that name.

That was the name of a puppy that I found with Elizabeth. 

A giant tornado formed around Estarossa as the breeze hit her face, it was colder than it should've been. Ahmya wiped her tears as the white wings merged from Esta- Mael it was Mael.

Mael was the one that killed...

"Mael, why do you look like that"

"One of the four archangels, Mael,"

Ahmya felt sick. How'd this happen? Her hands shook as they met the ground. It was probably a good idea that Daniel left when he did. Was he crying? Gowther was saying something. He did it. He was the reason they died?

"There's no way an archangel could just become a demon!" Sariel screamed

"He had to take it from somewhere," Gowther whispered before he looked at her.

Oh.
