The first couple of years of Ahmya's life wasn't what anyone thought it was.

"Why do you want to go outside, Earth isn't a very pleasant place my child"

Being the offspring of the devil himself might have been fine, even being a hybrid would have been fine.

But not her.

She was not allowed to exist.

The daughter of the devil.

And, the daughter of a gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper of heaven.

"Father, when is mother coming to visit?"

Lucifer knelt before his princess, his successor and smiled. He ruffled her hair with a smile.

"Soon but your brother just arrived, why don't you go greet him,"

~~~~

Taro winced as he watched his sister go flying into the large rock.

He covered his eyes as a red beam shot out of the crater incinerating the demon that hit her.

Ahmya had been off since that day.

She could feel something, something bad was coming and it wasn't what many expected it to be when she told them something was off.

No, she was starting to remember.

But she kept it to herself.

Plagued with thoughts of the man with black hair, a demon mark and a little girl.

Memories she had forgotten fighting their way back up, the night before her wedding.

Rajine.

It was all so jumbled.

New memories of her and Zeldris talking about kids, her kid.

Meliodas' attempt at babysitting.

Was the child hers?

What was her name?

They come, they vanish and they come again some not leaving her at all instead of leaving her with the sensation that a giant trampled in her head.

"Ahmya!"

Ahmya jumped turning to Daniel who was holding her hand as she dangled off a cliff. She blinked a few times before simply, flying back up.

"Are you okay? You should be used to having your grace back by now. No headaches, aches and pains?" Daniel checked her body fro any injuries.

"... Maybe that's not a bad idea, oh the King summoned me. Somethings about the sins being back together," her wings came out, this time one white and black.

These were the wings Ahmya had when she was first used magic when her magic was weak. On rare occasions when she was stressed or injured did they appear.

"Oi, are you sure you're okay, your wings..."

Ahmya glanced at her wings before the white one went black and white accents appeared on both wings.

"I'm fine Taro. The king summoned me so Taro, as usual, you're in charge, focus on our current mission," she nodded at them one final time before she took a slow and long flight back to the castle, but not before she saw the harmonica hanging from Shane's side.

Halfway through her flight, she stopped, the now-familiar feeling of a headache coming on to her.
