Enjoy!

Shrieks filled the air as the bodies of the five clans fell dead on the ground. Roars and battle cries sounded in the darkening sky as Goddesses and Demons engaged in each in a fight to the death. Silver hair and blue eyes with glowing insignia met with blonde hair and dark purple eyes, staring each other down.

"...It is not too late to stop this, Sidero!" The blue eyed Goddess cried out, her once sparkling silver dress torn and white wings tarnished grey. A blade of pure white light was held loosely in her hand. "I can promise asylum for your people!" Harsh laughter filled the air as Sidero snarled. Her dragon like wings flapped to keep her afloat, and the shadow like tendrils crawled over her body.

"Impossible, Alethea of the Goddess Clan. The Demon Clan has suffered too much at this point. We will fight to the death!" She yelled, brandishing her pitch black sword. Voices from both sides clamored for them.

"Sister! Please, don't do it!"

"Sidero! I will never forgive if you die!"

"My Lady! My Lady!"

"Mistress! Please, reconsider!"

Unable to back down, each held their swords at each other. Then, they charged.

"HAHHH!"

"YAAHHH!"

As the two blades met with a sharp clang, Sidero's and Alethea's faces were only inches from each other. Tears streamed down each of their faces, and Sidero's eyes changed to an emerald green.

"DAMMIITT! WHY?! WHY MUST WE FIGHT?!" She screamed, pushing Althea back. "WERE WE NOT ONCE SISTERS?! DID WE NOT VOW TO PROTECT ONE ANOTHER?!" Althea sobbed as she charged again.

"How can we?!" She demanded. "Our people! Our ideologies! We cannot coexist with one another, we are too different!" Then, their blades punctured the two bodies. Golden and black blood mixed as it dripped from the swords, the two frozen still. With shivering gasps, the two suddenly touched their foreheads together, and leaned against each other.

"If I could..." Alethea whimpered. "If time could rewind..."

"I'd bring the clans together..." Sidero finished. Then, they thrust their swords deeper, and the two sister came crashing down.

"NNNOOOO!"

Are Demons and Goddesses truly any different? Tell me, was our fight meaningless?

As dawn crept across the kingdom of Camelot, from the highest point of the castle, Micah stood there, watching as the sun rose. In a simple white nightgown, her soft, yellow curls fluttered slightly in the wind, her mismatched eyes sparkling. Then, when the sun finally bathed her in its light, Micah took a deep breath.

"Hmm! Hah!" She sighed in content. Then, she giggled. Carefully, Micah jumped down on each point of the castle before jumping into her room. Elaine was still asleep, her rosy lips parted slightly open. Micah gently ruffled her hair. Ever since becoming the Spear of Dreams, Elaine no preferred to stay outside the ivy choker, stating that it was now her duty to properly protect Micah. Smiling, Micah pulled the blanket closer to the fairy and got dressed.

Deciding on something fancy for once, Micah donned on an elegant white, sleeveless dress that draped diagonally down. Tucking her wavy hair into a ponytail, the woman pinned a white hydrangea onto her hair. She adjusted her jewelry, carefully putting her diamond ring on her ring finger. Slipping on a pair of white slippers, the woman was ready.

Quietly closing the door behind, Micah walked down the quiet hallway, her footsteps echoing slightly in the still morning. It was no wonder it was so quiet. Micah was up much earlier than most of the people in the kingdom, excluding the farmers of course. Micah began to skip, he toes barely touching the ground as she did so. Giggling quietly, the blonde stopped at the throne room and popped it open. Peeking inside to see no one, Micah quickly entered and closed the door behind her. In front of her stood the throne, shining slightly as the rays of light fell on it. With yet another skip, Micah walked towards the throne and sat on it. She had always been curious how it felt, being a ruler that was. Micah closed her eyes and imaged tens of people in the hall, each one begging her to solve a particular problem that could also counter another. Micah grimaced as she opened her eyes.

"Ugh...If I was ruling, this kingdom would have already fallen into ruin. I have to hand it to Arthur. I wouldn't be able to handle the stress!"

"No, you probably couldn't, Alice." Jumping up from the throne, Micah turned around to see Arthur behind her, smirking. Dressed simply in a white wool shirt and black pants, Arthur's hair was rumpled still. Micah puffed her cheeks in annoyance.

"Geez! Don't scare me like that!" The blonde scolded as she went over to fix Arthur's hair. "And your hair's a mess!" Laughing, the king pulled Micah closer and kissed her on the cheek.

"My bad, love." Blushing slightly, she elbowed him playfully before erupting into a fit of giggles. As the two laughed, Merlin appeared in front of them.

"I see you two are having fun. But, let's save it for the honeymoon, 'kay?"

"Merlin!" Micah and Arthur yelled, blushing madly. Merlin chuckled at their reaction.

"Haha...I'm joking."

When Micah accepted Arthur's proposal, the former asked her fiance to keep it a secret for now. She wanted to win the heart of the people more before she became the queen, to which Arthur agreed. However, in addition, the king asked that they be married within a year, as it was supposedly Camelot's tradition that those engaged be married in a year of the engagement. It had been two months since then. Micah was comfortably getting to know the people more, and in turn the citizens seemed to adore her. The counsel men that consulted Arthur were the exception, but the king assured her that they were simply weary of strangers-they'd get used to her eventually. Breaking the embrace between them, Micah noticed the light outside was brighter now.

"Well, it seemed like it's brighter now. The people should be awake now. I'll take my leave." Then, she kissed Arthur on the lips. "I'll see you later, love." Then, Micah walked out. Arthur sighed as she left. Merlin patted him on the back.

"There there...It's only for the day. Micah only wants to ensure that they people of Camelot love her truly before she becomes queen." Arthur nodded.

"Yeah...but still. Every time she leaves, I always get the feeling that one day, she may not come back." Merlin pursed her lips.

"...I'm sure it's just your imagination, Arthur." However, contrary to what she said, Merlin's face indicated that she knew something would eventually happen to Micah.

We left re loved ones behind...and for what? Are competing ideologies?

As she walked into town, the people were beginning to open shops. A blacksmith was heating his furnace while a baker put out freshly baked loaves of bread onto stand outside. Farmers helped each other bring in daily produce and animals to be sold off.

"Good morning Ms. Micah!" A man said, tipping his hat to the woman as he walked past her. Micah curtsied.

"To you as well, Mr. Wells!" A group of children ran past her.

"Excuse us, Big Sister!" A girl yelled as she followed her friends away. Smiling, Micah continued along, greeting everyone and helping whenever she could. As she finished placing bags of flour onto a cart, she overheard some farmers talking.

"It's been gettin' pretty bad, Hank. Last night, I heard Daisy mooing loudly, and rushed to find her throat slashed. It's the fourth cow this week! If I can't save the rest of the herd, then I won't be able to feed the family this winter!" The farmer with the straw hat said worriedly. His partner scratched his head.

"Well, you ain't the only one. I heard some fellas talking about their cattle being attacked, and not even that! Chicken, sheep, goats, even humans! Melissa barely survived, and her description is hazy. Dull eyes and black wings, blood dripping from its fangs. Can't get anythin' after that..." Micah grimaced as she walked over to them.

"Excuse me, Hank? Darwin?" The farmers jumped a little.

"Oh! Miss Micah! Didn't see ya there!" Hank said with a small laugh. "I don't think I need any help today." Micah pursed her lips.

"...I'm sorry, Hank. I couldn't help but overhear your conversation." The farmer's face darkened.

"I, I see...Ms. Micah, it's alright. Most likely some elusive griffin or somethin'. Nothing to worry about." Micah placed a hand over her bracelet as she answered.

"You seem like it was a big deal... Why don't you let me help then? I'm really good at tracking things, and I can hold myself in a fight." Hank scratched his head.

"Geez...Even if I let you, my wife and kids are never letting me hear the end of this for putting their friend in danger..." Darwin patted his friend's back.

"What do we have ta lose? Melissa is still in pretty bad shape, and she was lucky. If somethin' isn't done, we could have a serious problem." After a few minutes, Hank let out a deep sigh,

"...Fine. I'll let the other farmers know. Come by sundown to the village...Thanks Ms. Micah. You're doin' a mighty fine thing for us." Micah smiled.

"No worries. I'd do anything for a friend." Then, Micah said her goodbyes as she raced back ti the castle for tonight.

In the end...everything was destroyed. Comrades turned on each other, families lie dead on the ground...

Following Hank's instructions, Micah headed towards the village on horseback. However, she didn't come alone. Arthur was besides her on his horse, and Merlin was floating next to them draped in her cloak. Elaine was there as well, sitting behind Micah.

"Ah! Miss Micah! Ya came!" Hank said as he greeted her, night having fallen by then. "And ya brought his highness?!" Micah gave a tired sigh as she shot a glare at him.

"He decided to come on his own. As well as Merlin and Elaine..." She gave a dirty look at the former. Merlin shrugged.

"Well, Arthur was coming either way. I thought it'd be in my best interest to come as well. Maybe get a few experiments done on this creature..." Getting down from her horse, Micah gave the reins to another villager as Arthur tried to talk with her.

"Alice...Please don't be mad!" The king begged. "I only wanted you to be safe!" Micah sighed again as she recalled what had happened earlier today...

Earlier...

"You're what?!" Elaine and Arthur shouted at the same time. Micah, who was packing a small bag in her room, stopped momentarily to face the two. Elaine looked surprised, but Arthur looked upset.

"I'm going to help the farmers nearby with this beast that's been attacking." Micah explained. "If something isn't done, they could be in trouble."

"But, why are you going then?" He asked. "If you has asked me, I could have sent some troops to investigate." Micah shook her head.

"By what they've been saying, it's dangerous. I don't want innocent people dragged into this." Her fiance crossed his arms, clearly not pleased.

"Alice, if that's the way you want it, then I'm going." As Micah began to protest, Arthur stopped her. "Listen! I know you want to help, but it's suicide if you go alone! I'm still the king of Camelot, and I have a duty to my people as well." Micah bit her lips. If she knew this would happen, she would have just told Elaine in private.

"...No. I still won't let you." She said. The king gave a look.

"I wasn't asking for your permission." Suddenly, anger flared inside Micah. Her eyes flashed purple as she slammed her hands down on a table, glaring at him.

"And what I said isn't a suggestion either! I won't hesitate to fight you to get you to stay here!" Tensions filled the air as the two glared, unwilling to back down. Elaine backed herself to a wall in fear. Suddenly, a voice broke the tension.

"My, my. Your first fight already? And you haven't even gotten married yet." Merlin said as she appeared in between the two. Micah gave an uncharacteristic growl at the mage.

"Keep out of this, Merlin!" Lips pursing, Merlin waved her hand, spreading blue dust over Micah and Arthur. All at once, the anger dissipated within Micah, but annoyance remained.

"Now let's try this again...Micah. Arthur has a point. The farmers are still the people of Camelot, and this beast is unknown to anyone, even me. Without any knowledge, it could get even more dangerous with you alone." Then, she smirked. "Hence why I'm tagging along. A frown marred Micah's face as she looked back and forth between the two.

"...Fine." Grabbing the bag, Micah stormed out of the room, with Elaine hurriedly running after her.

Present...

As she continued to ignore Arthur, Micah wasn't sure why she acted rashly. It was true, the more people there were, the easier a battle could be. But, Micah had a nagging feeling inside. A dark, dangerous feeling about the creature that attacked the villagers and animals. Fingering her bracelet, Micah felt the two stones warm up. Frowning, Micah was called by Hank.

"Some men spotted a shadow lurking in the forest nearby. It's not too far from here, and the moon will light your way." Nodding, Micah took her sword out.

"...Elaine." With a nod, Elaine transformed into the Spear of Dreams. Arthur placed the golden helmet on his face and Merlin readied her orb. With that, the group headed into the forest.

As they entered, a sudden drop of temperature caused Micah to shiver.

"Ugh...Why did it get so cold all of the sudden?" Merlin raised the orb and looked into it.

"...It's nearby. But, I can't pinpoint its exact location..." Suddenly, Micah's eyes widened in shock.

"MOVE!" She yelled, pushing both Arthur and Merlin away as a sudden torrent of shadows shot by them. Hitting the trees, it disintegrated them. Elaine managed to leap out of the way and hovered above Micah.

"Milady! Are you alright?!" Groaning, Micah nodded.

"Ouch...Yeah. But, what was that?" Merlin pointed to where the torrent came from.

"That is what I have been sensing. It's nothing I've ever seen before...!" In front of them hovered a pale skin woman with black angel wings. Her mouth was pulled back into a snarl, baring her fangs. Dark, amethyst colored eyes peered at them with hostile intent. Tendrils of shadow crawled along her body as the tattered armor laid loosely around her body. Growling, the creature lunged at them. Micah quickly summoned the earth and built a wall between them. Letting out what seemed like a cackle, the woman shot the shadows on her body at it, disintegrating the wall. Tsking, Micah summoned the air to lift her up and called forth spikes of water that formed icicles. With a yell, she threw them. Dodging most of them, the she-creature caught one in her hand and crushed it to pieces.

"What is she?" Micah murmured as she landed on the ground again. Suddenly, the dreadful feeling Micah had before began to emit from it.

"I will never forgive you if you die, Sister!"

A gasp escaped Micah's lips as she stared at the creature. So lost in her daze, Micah would have been hit directly by the shadows if Arthur hadn't pushed her to the ground.

"Alice! Get yourself together!" Arthur scolded. Grabbing her, the king brought her behind a tree as Merlin and the Spear of Dreams began to engage the enemy. Taking of his helmet off, the man noticed the look of shock on his beloved's face.

"Alice, you face...what's wrong?" Gasping, Micah clutched her sword tighter.

"...I recognize her..." She whispered out. Suddenly, Merlin came crashing near them, followed by Elaine who reverted back to her fairy form.

"Ugh! That thing...it's strong!" The witch hissed as she shakily stood up. Elaine coughed up blood.

"*Cough,Cough*! Milady..." At that, Micah snapped back to reality. Standing up, Micah walked over to the creature with eerie calmness. With a snap of her fingers, a wall of earth surrounded the others.

"Alice! Alic-!" The king was cut off as the walls sealed them. Smiling sadly at the now protected group, Micah gave a woeful look to the creature who began to tear the trees in a rage.

"...Seraphina...My little sister..." Micah whispered as her eyes changed blue, both with glowing insignia in them. From her back sprouted a pair of pure white, glowing wings. The woman, Seraphina, paused her destruction. From her eyes, a look of recognition appeared.

"...Sister...?" Tears filling up her eyes, Micah's hair began to change to silver, the sword in her hand shifting to a lighter color.

"Don't you recognize me, Seraphina? It's me...Alethea..." Seraphina's eyes clouded up again.

"No...No, no, no! NO! MY SISTER IS DEAD!" Seraphina screamed out, the shadows whipping towards Micah. Micah, or Alethea, flew into the air.

"Please listen, Seraphina! I know, I know your agony! I broke our promise, I left you alone! But, know I never forgot you. Even when you are fallen, even when you have turned on the light, I still love you!" Alethea called out to her. "Come back to me!" Suddenly, the onslaught of the shadows stopped. Seraphina whimpered as her eyes turned into a glowing lilac color. The shadows on her body began to draw together, forming a large sphere around her.

"...I'm sorry, Sis..." Then, the ball of shadows ascended the air and exploded. Tears streaming down her face, Seraphina fell to her knees and onto the ground.

"Seraphina!" Alethea cried out. As she flew towards her, the earth walls behind her broke. Looking around, Arthur saw the two.

"Wha-?! Alice?!" The king yelled as tried to he rush over, but Merlin stopped him.

"That is not Micah right now!" She warned the king. "Someone else is controlling her!" Shocked, Arthur brushed her hand off.

"Alice!" He still called out. Bringing her sister in a hug, Alethea heard Arthur and looked back, tears spilling from her eyes.

"...Won't you take care of my little sister, Seraphina? She...won't be able to go back home now. I know she's hurt many...but I cannot bare to see her like this..." Then, she closed her eyes and her hair turned blonde.

"Please?" She whispered before she fainted. Arthur quickly rushed over.

"Alice! Alice, wake up!" He begged the woman. Unmoving, Arthur assumed the worst when Merlin came over.

"...She's still alive. Just unconscious..." Elaine, who recovered slightly, weakly flew over.

"Was that...one of Milady's conflicting soul?" She asked Merlin who nodded.

"Yes...If she appeared like this so suddenly, then this person must be important to her...Arthur, I think we should take her back." Arthur gripped his arms around Micah tighter as he glared at Merlin, a notion that surprised the witch.

"...You know what's going on with her? This...Alethea?" Merlin gave a solemn look as she nodded.

"Yes...but there's one other. Sidero. I...I am not sure what they exactly are. All I know is that Micah is comprise of these two. With one another, Micah would not exist...and she would not be able to wield the dragons that control the elements on this world..." The king gave a look that demanded more explanation, but Merlin simply sighed.

"Even if I wanted to tell you more, that is all I have discovered. Her origins...as well as the 'Elemental Dragons' and the two beings lie shrouded in mysteries...The only person I can think of that may know is...the Captain of the Seven Deadly Sins, her brother Meliodas." With a wave of her hand, Merlin hoisted Micah and Seraphina to the air.

"Let us head back for now...I will try to see if I can discover more about our new guest..." Nodding silently, Arthur spotted Micah's sword lying on the ground. As he bent to pick it up, the sword glowed, and gave Arthur a vision. His eyes widened and dropped the sword in shock.

"King Arthur?" Elaine asked. Shaking his head, Arthur gave her a wave a assurance as he picked the sword up again. Frowning, he followed the others back, unaware of another being hiding in the shadows.

"Alethea the Goddess...?" It whispered. "Then, is Sis nearby?!"

Then, let us stop fighting. Let our hopes, our dreams, merge into one...

Underneath the cherry blossoms, a child cried her heart out. The little girl's long blonde curls waved slightly in the breeze as the tears stained her white dress.

"W-Wah! Wah!" She sobbed out. "Wh-Why? Why does everyone hate me?!" Hiding her face in her legs, the girl suddenly heard rustling nearby. Gasping, she darted her eyes around, but saw no one.

"Wh-Who's there?!" She demanded. Again, the sound of rustling was heard, and out popped young man with magenta colored hair and eyeglasses, his face void of expression. Pushing his glasses up, he eyed the girl with keen interest.

"...My apologies. I heard someone crying and spotted you...You're upset because everyone you know thinks you're a disgrace and you're afraid your family will think so too, right?" The girl sat there, shocked.

"H-How...?" The man waved his hand.

"...I read your mind." Anger immediately rose inside the girl as the ground seemed to shake.

"How dare you?!" She screamed. "You had no right!" The man held his hands up in surrender.

"But, aren't you glad? Instead of bottling these emotions up, why not tell someone? You'll feel much better if you...oh wait. I see..." The man nodded solemnly. "Someone betrayed you, right? Then, let's make an agreement. If you talk with me, I promise not to tell a soul. And, if I do, you can kill me." The girl sniffled as she looked at his face to see any hints of emotion. Seeing none, the girl decided to trust him. She had nothing to lose after all. Nodding slowly, she beckoned the man to sit next to her, which he proceeded to do so.

"By the way...My name is Micah. What's yours?" The man sat there thoughtfully.

"...Gowther. My name is Gowther."

Micah eyes snapped opened as the memory from long ago faded away. Seeing the familiar ceiling of her room, the woman slowly propped herself up. Seeing no one but Elaine who slept nearby, Micah threw open her covers and proceeded to exit her room. Wearing only a thin robe, she tucked it closer to her while walking down the hall. Walking to the place where she knew Arthur would usually be, Micah headed towards the room. As she arrived at the door, Micah heard yells leaking from inside.

"Are you saying that they're some sort of parasite?!" The king demanded. Micah paused at that. Lips pulling into a frown, the blonde moved closer to the door to better hear the conversation. She heard a loud sigh from Merlin.

"My king, you completely missed the point. Your vision has indicate the one thing I have been suspecting. But, they are not leeching the power from Micah. Instead, I think it is the opposite. The two beings, Alethea and Sidero, are the ones providing her strength and magic. As I said before, Micah only exists...because of them."

Micah gasped, then quickly covered her mouth. The voices inside immediately stopped talking. Within seconds, the door opened and Micah fell onto the floor in the room.

"Micah...you're awake. Are you feeling fine?" Merlin asked as she helped her up. Micah nodded as she stood up. Arthur was on the other side of the room, his mind lost in thought.

"Uh, yeah. I'm fine..." Micah's mind was still in the subject of Alethea and Sidero. How did they know? And, was what they said true? Seeing her face, Merlin placed a hand on Micah's shoulder. Suddenly, Arthur spoke.

"...You heard us, didn't you? About...them?" Micah gave a slight frown.

"You mean, Sidero and Alethea? Arthur, I do not think they mean any harm!" Sighing, the king shook his head back and forth.

"I never said they were. But, Micah, why didn't you tell me? About those two?" At that, Micah didn't know how to answer. It had never accord to her that she should tell someone about this. However, she had a feeling. An unspoken agreement between her and the two beings.

"Keep it between us...or lest someone will harm us..."

Unable to answer, Micah suddenly recalled the events from before.

"The woman! The villagers!" Arthur walked over and placed his hands around Micah.

"...The villagers are still alive and well. As for the woman...Alethea called her Seraphina. We brought her back to the castle. She's resting right now." Unexplained relief flooded inside Micah as she let out a breath she hadn't realized she held in. Arthur continued.

"About before...Alethea had taken control of you to engage Seraphina...She said that she was her-"

"Sister. I am her younger sister." Everyone, shocked, spun around to see Seraphina behind them at the door. Wearing now a simple white nightgown, her hair, a silver-gold color, laid loosely in a ponytail. Her vibrant lilac colored eyes scanned the room before landing on Micah. Her breath hitched.

"...Sister...Is that you?" Micah then heard Alethea.

"Yes...Seraphina..."

As though she heard her, Seraphina began to cry. Walking over to Micah, Seraphina threw her arms around her.

"*Hic*! I...I though I'd never see you again! I lost my mind after your death. I became a monster, feeding on the blood of the innocents, growing the darkness that laid in my heart...My wings, they will never be the same again." Then, a pair of black wings appeared from Seraphina's back.

"...The others will never let me return..." Micah gave a woeful look as she hugged Seraphina.

"...Seraphina. I promise you, I will protect you..." As the two hugged one another, they were unaware of a hidden person in the shadows, lips pulled back into a snarl.

"You...I will never forgive you, Seraphina! Someday, I will get my sister back. I swear on my name, Zelophehad!"

Yes...Yes. That will be the only way to achieve our greatest dream...

Under the starry night sky, a young blonde sat on the roof of his tavern. His hair moving slightly in the wind, his emerald green eyes fixed upon the starry constellations.

"...Micah. Where are you?" He whispered out. The words seemed to echo around him. "The one who was abandoned by everyone but her family and closed ones, my little sister. My little angel...Heh...I still remember..." Meliodas closed his eyes as scenes from the past flashed before him. She and him with their other siblings, playing in the field of flowers, and even watching the sunset on the battle stricken field. However, one stood out in particular. One that changed the course of history forever...

"Micah! Come back!" Their eldest brother had called for her. But, the young girl kept moving, as though in a trance. He could still remember the worry on the group's faces. On the battlefield, there was no mercy, no kindness to the enemy. Clans pitted between each other, Micah, their innocent little sister, had just entered the heart of it all.

"Micah! Micah!" he had cried out to her as he slashed through enemy after enemy. But, Micah kept walking. Finally, she stopped. Her eyes, once a beautiful shade of green and blue, turned white and black. A white angel wing and a black demon wing. Strand of silver ran through her hair as she spoke in a loud booming voice that shook the very ground, causing everyone to stop fighting.

"HEED MY CALL. STOP THIS ACCURSED BATTLE OR YOU ALL WILL BE DAMNED. SO SAYS I, THE ONE WHO FORESEES THE FUTURE. I AM BOTH A DEMON AND A GODDESS. I AM AN ANGEL, MICAH. THE ANGEL OF MIRACLES!" Then, Micah closed her eyes, and fell to the ground as her wings disappeared. With no hesitation, he had sprinted to her, and held her in a tight hug. As he retreated back, he had made up his mind. He would do everything in his power to end this war.

Even if he had to betray his clan.

Meliodas opened his eyes again as a shooting star flew past him. Smiling bitterly, he jumped down and headed inside the tavern to rest. After all, he needed a good night's sleep if he wanted to find the rest of the Sins, and his precious baby sister.

Micah, you who is both the Apocalypse and Paradise...Heed this warning...

Gasping, the demon and goddess struggled to breathe as they laid in the field of flowers, each bleeding from their abdomens. Suddenly, Sidero chuckled, and then gave a loud laugh.

"HAHAHA! Oh look at us, Alethea!" She laughed out bitterly, blood spilling from her lips as she coughed. "We were fools to believe that each of our ways could achieve peace!" Alethea joined in.

"Hehehe...You're...right, Sidero. We really...were idiots..." Tears streaming down her face, the goddess grasped the hand of the demon. "...What happened to us, Sidero? We were once sisters, fighting to protect the clans in this world. Look...at how we've been reduced to..." Sidero nodded sadly.

"Yeah...Alethea, this may be the last time we see each other, so I will say this. I still dislike you for what you've done, but I don't hate you anymore. In fact...I'm happy my last moments were with you..." Alethea smiled as she slowly closed her eyes with Sidero.

"Me...too..." As they died holding hands, the swords next to them glowed. Mixed blood from the corpses began to dissipate into the sky as the swords merged into one, disappearing along with the bodies. Where the bodies once were, rainbow colored flowers remained there, the only indication that they were there at all.

At the base of the Demon Clan...

Loud screams of pain were heard as female demons of lesser status moved back and forth carrying pails of water through the tent. A young man with blonde hair and emerald green eyes stood nearby as he trained, awaiting the new arrival of his sibling. Also with him was his younger brother, who slashed and destroyed the dummy laid out for him. The blonde frowned.

"Geez Zeldris. Anymore and I won't be able to replace them." The black haired boy ignored him as he continued to demolish it. Sighing, the man suddenly saw his other brother. Seeing him back so soon made him frown even more.

"Hey, Estarossa. Why are you back so soon?" The male demon said nothing as he turned his head towards the screams that resonated.

"...I see Mother is in labor now. Wonder if it's a girl or boy?" The blonde frowned.

"...Something bad happened?" The demon eyes his younger sibling.

"...I can't hide anything from you...Father is dead as well as the leader of the Ten Commandments, Sidero. Meliodas, I want no one to know yet, not even Mother. I'll speak with Zeldris later...We've lost this battle." Meliodas, though shock, nodded. Suddenly, a cry was heard. Hurriedly, Meliodas took off running into the tent with his brothers behind him. Coming in, he saw one of the nurses place a cloth over his mother's eyes as another cradled the baby. The nurse looked sadly at him.

"...My apologies. There was too much blood loss and she was already weak due to sickness...I'm afraid she passed away after giving birth to your sister." The nurse who cradled the crying baby handed it to Meliodas. Looking at her, he noticed the mark of the Demon Clan where her heart was. A tuft of blonde hair was on her head, her eyes squinted closed. Suddenly, she stopped crying and opened her eyes. He gasped as he saw blue and green.

"Her eyes...why is her eyes...?" The nurse shook her head.

"We...do not know." The baby remained silent as she looked around her surrounding. Suddenly, she giggled. Shocked, Meliodas was unaware when Estarossa took the baby from him.

"...Why are her eyes open? Even though we are demons, it still takes time for us to adjust. Her eyes...why is she not in her demon form?" Once again, the nurse shook her head.

"Again, I do not know. When your mother was giving birth, I sensed a strange power radiating within the child. Something like a demon, but yet not." Nodding as though the answer satisfied him, Estarossa showed her to Zeldris who frowned.

"This baby is what Mother died giving birth to? What a disgrace!" Suddenly, the baby face scrunched up and she let out a wail. Zeldris, by some invisible force, was thrown out of the tent and into a rock, leaving a huge hole in it. The two brothers looked at the hole where Zeldris was and looked back at the baby who began giggling again. Meliodas, despite how solemn the situation was, smiled.

"Well, at least she knows how to handle Zeldris!" Estarossa cracked a grin.

"Yes, Yes she does...But, what will her name be." At that, the baby began to babble.

"Mi-Mi...Micah!" Again, they stared at her.

"...I guess Micah then." Meliodas said. Then, they decided to fetch Zeldris, who had been thrown much farther than they assumed.

Little did they know, however, that little Micah was no ordinary being, nor did they know that she would change the fate of this world.

If you fail to end the war, everyone that you love...

...Will Perish...

A shocking truth has been revealed. Seraphina, the monster behind the village attacks, is revealed to be Alethea's younger sister?! What was Arthur's vision about?! Who is Zelophehad? What will happen next?! Until Next Time...

Details: Claiming to be the brother of Sidero, not much is known about his past, only that evaded capture from the Goddesses when they sealed his clan. Showing extreme hatred for them because of Sidero's death, he is shown to be actually a kind person, especially towards his sister and Micah. He has a passion for training and likes playing with fire.

All right, some explanations!

Merlin knows?!: Yes, to a certain extent. While Merlin knows who Sidero and Alethea are, she does not know the reason why they have decided to form Micah, nor what the Elemental Dragons have to do with them.

Meliodas's betrayal: Hmm...the manga does not explain why he decided to betray his clan. So, until it's been said, I have made it so that Meliodas believes in what Micah said and that he'll do anything to end this war, mostly to protect his sister.

Parents?: Well, Demons have to come somewhere. So, Micah's father actually died in the battle Sidero died in and her mother died during childbirth, who was already dying to sickness.

Family: If you kept up with the manga, then it shouldn't surprise you that Estarossa and Zeldris would appear. Based on what's revealed, I think that Meliodas was once close to his family before his betrayal. But, Micah's situation is different. Unlike Meliodas, her family does not hate her, at least Zeldris's case. Estarossa *Spoilers!* still "loves" Meliodas and thus wants to kill him (I have no idea why). With Micah, he wishes for her to keep living and fulfill her dreams, knowing the consequences. Whether he knows who Micah really is...only time will tell. As for the Ten Commandments...that's for another time.

fantasy.92: Thank you! While their reunion was short, they'll have time later when Micah returns to the Sins. As you know, Micah is both a goddess and a demon. Based on this chapter, Micah will have to make the ultimate sacrifice if she wishes to protect her loved ones.

LiddellMe: Thanks! A guest had commented on that. I was just glad she caught the mistake!

AllRawrz: Thank you! You see, I wanted to create a story that would change certain scenarios to the actual franchise, but remain true to the plotline. Thus, this was born!

lisagablisa: Thank you so much for the compliment!

Minnowkit: Haha, yeah! Sadly, the wedding won't come in for a while now. But, prepare for another surprise soon *hint, hint*.

Sunshine-girl: Hmm...not sure. The wiki I used say his hair is pale blue...So, I'll leave that for now.

Guest: Thanks, I guess? You may be right, but often times friendship will blossom into love, like with Micah and Arthur. But, one person is certainly not going to be pleased...

Atlantis355: Thanks! Here's your update! Hope you enjoyed it!

Wind2048: Don't worry, he won't go down without a fight. I slipped a peak of how the two met. More of how their relationship blossomed will be revealed later on.

SinOfMaliciousEnvy: Hopefully you enjoyed this chapter!

Until Next Time! R&R!
