"Hello my dear" the angel smiles and holds her arms open

Ayano walks over and hugs the women.

"princess you really need to be more careful, we angel's aren't like demons" her mother looks into her eyes "we only have one heart"

"I know mother" Ayano sighs and sits down "you'd think if the demons tried to turn me into one of them I'd get some more hearts too"

Ayano's mother flicks her daughter's forehead "normal people wouldn't talk so casually about that"

"It happened thousands of years ago, I just live with it now" Ayano shrugs

"Princess, you're dead" her mother looks at her blankly

"And? So are you" Ayano shrugs

"But I was once alive" her mother sighs "how sad it is to have a daughter that never dies"

"it was grandmother's fault" Ayano mumbles

"You were the one that got kidnapped" her mother began to cry "now look at you, my once beautiful angel was turned into a demon!"

"I was 13" Ayano sighs "It's not like I asked to be kidnapped" she wiped her mother's tears away "please don't cry mother"

"That day was so painful" her mother kept crying

"the past cannot be altered or changed" Ayano hugs her mother "I am what I am now"

"and.. you fell in love with that demon that took you" her mother says sadly

"Meliodas isn't bad anymore, we're fighting the commandments to stop another Holy War" Ayano explains "then we're going to get married, I'm sure you're still watching over"

"Of course, but so is your grandmother and Elizabeth is also in love with him remember" her mother reminds her

"I know mother, but Meliodas doesn't like Elizabeth like that" Ayano sighs "things have change since I was little and you know that"

"I know.." her mother looks away

"mother it's time" Ayano looked at her hands to see herself fading

Her mother looks at her and looks sad "no.. not already"

"Mother" Ayano looks back at her "it's for the best that I return, after all.." she smiles "I'm the only one who can take on the commandments"

Ayano's mother wiped her tears away and smiles "you're right, my daughter"

"Goodbye mother" Ayano's eyes flashes red "oh and tell grandmother.. I hope I get to see her in hell"

"Ayano you can't say that about your grandmother the Supreme Deity" her mother scolds

"Eh, why should I care?" Ayano smirks "I am a demon after all"

Ayano disappears and her mother sighs "honestly that child" she smiles "she's truly reckless"

Ayano opens her eyes to see herself in her and Meliodas's room. She groans as she stands up, she places her hand on her stomach to notice the hole in her stomach all healed.

"Well I guess this is one thing to thank grandmother for" Ayano smirks "I'm back"

Ayano then looks down at herself to finally notice that she's completely naked. Meliodas's doing obviously.

"Meli" Ayano mutters annoyed "you damn pervert, even in death you pull this kind of prank on me"

Ayano opens her closet and pulls out her clothes.

"hmph" she walks out of the room

Once she reaches the bar area she notices the tavern is empty. She sees the door open and walks out. She looks around to see that they're at Istar, the sacred land of the druids.

"Yo, Zaneri! You're both tiny as always!"

Ayano turns her head at the sound of Meliodas's voice, she walks up the hill a bit to see the group in front of the two druids Jenna and Zaneri.

Zaneri takes Meliodas's hand and places it on her boobs "Meliodas, I'm so glad to see you again"

"That's nice honey now you better let his hand go before you lose yours" Ayano spoke as she walked toward the group

"Ayano!" they shout

"Ayano" Meliodas runs over and hugs her "my beautifully sexy fiancé, you're finally back"

"Sorry dear, I was having a chat with my mother" Ayano smiles

"I see, how is she?" Meliodas asks

"Oh you know" Ayano shrugs "as good as a dead goddess can get"

"That's good" Meliodas squeezes her boob

"already" Ayano looks at him annoyed

"of course" he smiles down at her

"...I'll allow it" Ayano looks away

"like hell!" Hawk shouts

Meliodas puts his arm around Ayano's waist and they join the group.

"it's good that you woke up on time though" Meliodas looks at the two druids "Well then, that's enough for the reunion greetings. The reason we're here today is-"

"We already know why you came to the sacred land" Jenna tells him

Zaneri looks at them "Well then, Meliodas Ayano, follow me to the tower to my right" She looks at Elizabeth "And you, too" 

The three of them follow Zaneri to the tower waving bye to everyone. They walk into the tower and Zaneri turns to the three.

"Our strength is in here?" Meliodas asks

"Yes" Zaneri replies as they all keep walking forward

"What a weird place for Merlin to hide them" Ayano comments

"Meliodas, Ayano, you both will now be put through a trial. Whether we return your strength or not will depend on the results... These trials will be excruciatingly painful. I worry whether you'll be able to endure it" Her eyes are on Meliodas

"If you say that, it'll only make me more pumped up!" Meliodas punches his hand "I'll take whatever trials you throw at me, I'm sure Ayano feels the same"

"Of course" Ayano smiles "I'm ready to regain my sanity, and get all of Meliodas's seals off me"

"Good luck my love" Meliodas kisses Ayano's cheek

"you too" Ayano kisses his cheek before facing Zaneri "we're ready"

Zaneri sighs before chanting a spell and suddenly a bright white light blinds them. After a bit, Ayano's eyes adjust to the setting and see's herself in a beautiful garden surrounded by flowers.

She looks around surprised "this place.. seems familiar"
