Ahmya put on a smile when she got back bidding everyone a farewell before she went to lay in a bed.

She left Ban to talk to Meliodas while the girls minus Merlin had their little girl talk. She decided she would go annoy the two boys, neglect her problems for a bit. Her hand reached for pannel that led to the top but she froze Ban's words hitting her in the face.

"Do you really know?" Maybe it was a bad time Ban sounded seriously annoyed already.

"What it feels like to let the woman you love die twice," Ahmya staggered back almost falling to the ground as she was at the bottom of the stairs.

Those were not the words she needed to hear right now.

She wanted to laugh and dance, scream and shout, not feel like her heart was ripped out of her chest.

Not that she had any left.

It was making her sick. Knowing that she had memories she didn't remember she preferred when she was unaware of it all. The curses. Their curses, if someone even mentions-

Her thoughts were cut off my Hawks running past her bursting to the top. Meliodas followed her down giving a concerned gaze to Ahmya, she shook her.

She followed down and stood at the top of the stairs.

"What's going on!" She shouted.

Diane was holding back Elizabeth who was frantically shouting.

"Oh, Ahmya! I was told by the order that Barzad's in critical condition!"

Barzad?

Ahmya paled, eyes becoming void.

"Don't tell me you..." she walked passed Meliodas but he gripped her wrist.

"Let me have a look," Merlin approached Elizabeth. "Princess Elizabeth, do you know who I am?"

"It's been a long time, Merlin," Merlin's face held slight disbelief. "I almost didn't recognize you, you were so young, and now..."

Ahmya and Meliodas ended at the bottom of the stairs. Ahmya walking up to the girl, pulling her wrist away from the blonde.

"Are you still living by yourself in Belialuin?"

Ahmya cupped her cheek as Diane stepped back and moved the bangs that covered her one eye.

The goddess clan mark was now in both of eyes. The beautiful amber brought a sense of dread. she the collapsed in Ahmya arms.

Ahmya laid with Elizabeth. Legs curled by her the goddess' shoulder and her arm was around her head keeping her close. 

Meliodas sat by her side holding Elzaiebth's hand. Ahmya had contacted Daniel and he was on his way.

"Will she be okay?" Diane asked.

This is your fault! If you kept your mouth shut- Diane thought she was being a good friend don't let it get to you.

Ahmya's hair hung in her face and only those who were serious paying attention could see her wide eyes and the sweat that was forming by her brow.

The sins stood behind Meliodas all worried about the princess.

"merlin. do you know the cause of this?" Ban asked.

"It must be the effects of having interfered with Zeldir's magical power when sh broke the curse on me,"

Ahmya was too drained to even think about him.
