"Hello strangers." I grinned cheekily as we entered the Druids. Zaneri was far too focused on Meliodas to notice I had spoken, though Jenna was holding back an eye roll.
"Amihan. You look... well." She grimaced slightly, though covered it with a fabricated smile. I shrugged, stuffing my hands into my pockets and rolling on my heels.
"Shall we skip the pleasantries? I'm sure we both have better things to be doing with our time then faking small talk." I held a bored expression but the corner of my eye caught Meliodas talking to Zaneri, her eyes flicking in my direction every so often. This would all mean that both Jenna and Zaneri knew about the curse, and were probably perplexed on how I was even back to my true form whilst healthy enough to make smart arse comments.
"I take it you're here to retrieve your powers." Jenna inspected her nails to avoid looking at me. Her tone dropped its usual uptight politeness and was instead replaced by a completely lifeless voice.
"Not just a pretty face are you Jenna." I winked at her, making her scoff and turn her attention away from me. It was agreed that Meliodas, Elizabeth and I would go with Zaneri to complete a task to prove we were worthy of our powers. I silently giggled to myself at how awkward Meliodas seemed being surrounded by us three, though I'm sure the pervy side of him was probably loving it. Bastard.
"So what kind of test is this going to be?" I questioned Zaneri as Meliodas and Elizabeth talked amongst themselves. She shook her head and blatantly ignored me. I laughed at the ridiculousness of it all, cracking my knuckles as we finally came to a stop.
"Lovely to know you haven't changed Z." I sarcastically smiled at her, not that she noticed. She was too entranced by Mel to pay anything attention.
"Both of your powers are far to large to just hand back to either of you. We took them from you as you were both too emotional to handle so much power. The point of these test is to prove you can control yourselves. Fail, and I will be keeping your powers." Zaneri had an ability to make everything so serious, perhaps that's what Mel liked about her once upon a time. They juxtaposed each other well, with one being uptight and the other being reckless.
Not long after, our tasks begun. I was transported through memories of my past lives, all of their last moments.
"Meliodas!" I screeched as a horrific monster plunged its arm through my stomach, trying to retrieve my heart to rip from my chest. I was back in my human form; my memories must not have been back to me at this point.
My whole body felt weak as my head lulled to the side, my ruby eyes falling on the duo which crushed my soul. He was protecting her. Elizabeth. His demon form was struggling to remain under wraps as his purple eyes glistened towards me. He lowered his head, his mop of blonde hair falling in his face before he looked up and shook his head.
'I'm sorry.' He mouthed as a final scream tore through my throat. The monster had clutched onto my heart and pulled it out through the hole going through my abdomen.
My memories bounced from one lifetime to the next, all of which showing the times Meliodas chose Elizabeth over me. I felt my body collapse to the ground but my mind was so preoccupied with the memories that I couldn't bring myself to stand again. Finally, my brain settled on a lasting memory. One which burned more then the others.
Meliodas, Elizabeth and I flew infront of our army, settling infront of the entire demon army. All of our past friends, comrades, family staring back at us with nothing but hurt and betrayal. Zeldris flew out further, until he was directly infront of me.
"How could you do this to me, Ami? I needed you and you left. I would have helped you." My heart burned with his words but I stood strong.
"I'm sorry Zeldris, but this is the right thing to do. I cannot support your father through this, even if it means betraying you." He scoffed, turning his back to me. His head turned to look at his older brother, before falling down and shaking.
"That's bullshit. You did this for him. I'm not stupid Amihan. I hope you know he would never ever do this for you like he is for her. You play along to his ideals to hope that one day he'll look at you with that spark again, but as long as that goddess lives, you will always be second best. He will always disappoint you. And you deserve no less then a life filled with sorrow after all of this." Zeldris spoke with a terrifying amount of calmness, before raising his arms and sending out an attack to both sides. The suddenness of his movements caught us all off guard, the attack hitting both Elizabeth and I. We yelled out in unison, our attention no longer on flying as we spiralled to the ground. It wasn't long before the harsh, cold ground embraced me, the wind being knocked from my chest. Elizabeth was a little way over, resting in Meliodas' arms. They spoke for a moment before she nodded and shot off into the sky to return to her previous position.
"Come on Ami, I need you to be strong. I need to help Elizabeth." He spoke with fierce determination. I felt my eyes prick as I nodded my head, pulling myself off of the floor and stretching out my aching bones. He flew into the air with ebony wings to stand alongside Elizabeth in front of an army of people. I spat blood to the side of me and quickly wiped away the salty tears that managed to leak through before following in suit.
Zeldris was right. It was always going to be her. It was never going to be me.
A scream tore from my throat and i clutched my head, willing for these memories to stop. I understood my task now: to witness my most painful memories and remain calm and collected. But the pain I felt watching it all back was unimaginable. Every fibre of my being was screeching for it all to stop. The reminders of the past burned my nerves, the reminders of never being enough. The reminder that I never will be enough ever again. I'll always be second. Close, but never quite there, for the rest of eternity.
It hurt more then any battle I had ever fought in.
Then, suddenly, it all ended. The only remnants being the pain in my chest and bile rising in my throat. I opened my eyes to see my boots against the stone floor and my heaving chest.
"Lady Amihan, are you-" Elizabeth stopped talking as I snapped my eyes to her, a deep glare burning through her soul.
"Elizabeth. Please for the love of everything holy, shut the fuck up for two minutes." I panted, still trying to swallow back the sick that tried emptying itself from my stomach. Her skin paled, though she nodded and returned to her position beside Meliodas, who was still inside his mental task.
"This is pointless Amihan. Neither you nor Meliodas have ever been able to control yourselves." Just as she finished speaking, a guttural scream ripped from Meliodas' throat. His eyebrows scrunched together and his hair fell into his face, droplets of sweat dripping from his hairline and forehead. Is that what I looked like during my test? He was being greatly hurt by something. But what? Whatever it was, it was enough to bring the man to tears. He was going through all of this for the greater good of this world. I came to this world with him to help him in his pursuit of peace, and I couldn't even pass this stupid test that Jenna had set for me?
"Send me back." I didn't want to go back. I wanted to curl up into a ball and drink away any thoughts, feelings and memories of my original life. Drink enough Vanya Ale so I believed once again I was just Ban's little sister. But I had to do this. Not for me, but for him. I am Amihan the ex-commandment of Loyalty. I wasn't given that title lightly. I promised Meliodas I would do this for him, no matter the cost. This was just a price I had to pay to fulfil that promise.
"What? No, Amihan you aren't going to be able-" I cut Zaneri off.
"Zaneri, I said send me back. You hate me, I'm sure you're getting some form of satisfaction from seeing this pain. Just fucking send me back!" I roared, my entire being flushing with determination. I knew I could do this. I had to. For Meliodas I would go to hell and back. Even if he wouldn't do the same for me.
