~Meliodas's Pov~ 

I wasn't sure how long I was in the coma. I was floating through purgatory. Just like I always did when I died. The Curse. It had a tool on me at first. Every single time that I died, I would always be so annoyed and stressed when here. My father would taunt me. He would do anything to make me suffer. After dying so many times...I've gotten used to it. I've gotten used to the fact that this image would come around every so often. It was rare that I was killed after all. Sadly this time...my death has resulted in failure. 

Elizabeth...I failed her. I failed to save her. I was praying that Merlin found a way to stop the Demon Clan from taking her. I was praying, hoping and even begging. Everything inside of me was hating myself. Elizabeth...I know that Merlin wouldn't of let you die a painful death in the end. I knew that Merlin cared for Elizabeth too much to allow it. I was praying she was alright. I was praying that my brother that my race didn't have their hands on her. Dammit. If only I was stronger. I had to wake up.

I had to find her again. I had to save her from them. "Meliodas" I heard my father's voice echo around me. I wasn't able to move. I hated this. I hated the idea of talking to the bastard but it meant I was soon to wake up. Once this talk was over. I just had to speed this up. I couldn't waste time. I had to find her again. I already failed her. I already failed in saving her. I already was a failure as a husband. I only let out an upset 'tisk'. "I had one final talk with your wife before her time ran out" he then informed me.

I felt my soul freeze up. My eyes soon seeing my father, sitting on a giant throne. Purgatory, the birthplace of demons, the home of punished and lost souls. It was a wasteland. Nothing here was really alive. "I must admit, she highly impressed me" my father then gave out a chuckle, shocking me. Impressed him? What the fuck? What on earth was this bastard on about? I wanted to question it but I just wanted out of here. I just wanted to see her again. Even if she's been reborn, I wasn't going to let anyone use or hurt her. 

Even if she didn't have memories of me, I wasn't going to give up on her or my own love for her. I was fine to win her over once more. "She impressed me so much to where I ended up changing the end game for the curse" my father then informed me. I was even more confused. What did Elizabeth say? What did she do to impress this heartless bastard? He gave out another chuckle, moving his hand forward. A giant black orb showing up in his hand, the orb starting to glow to then show me what he was on about.

Showing me Elizabeth floating in nothingness. It was easy to see by her face she was in great pain. "I have something to ask you. Cursed Goddess" my father's voice came from the orb getting  Elizabeth to gain a serious look on her face. She looked as if she was ready for a fight more than a discussion. I kept quiet, watching and listening to every word being said. Seeing how Elizabeth was in her mind...in her final moments. I hated it. I truly hated the fact I failed her yet again. I really was a failure of a husband. 

 "If you had the option, to end Meliodas' punishment. To get me to lift the curse over him, allow him to age, be happy, to die and even return home...what would you say?" he then asked Elizabeth in a very serious and harsh tone. My eyes widened in pure shock. My father gave out a chuckle at my reaction. I was praying she didn't agree to this. I was praying Elizabeth didn't do anything stupid. My father never kept his word. He was a lair. Some bastard who enjoyed making anyone suffer, even his own sons.

"I would say...what would you need me to do" she answered without any hesitation. Worry started to build up. Everything in me got scared. Elizabeth please...please say you didn't agree. My father's laugh came from the orb. He was stating how Elizabeth was 'too' loyal to me. You could see from Elizabeth's face she didn't care what he thought. You could tell she would agree to whatever my father was about to offer. Elizabeth. Dammit. I hated him. I hated my bastard father more than anything. I truly hated him.

 "What if I offered you, your death, your pure death, your soul to be gone from this world forever and in return, Meliodas will be forgiven, be free from punishment?" my father offered her. No. No. No. NO! I swear if Elizabeth agreed...if she damn agreed I was going to the Capital of The Dead to say some words to her. Was she an idiot to even be listening to him?!? She knew what a lair and a bastard my father was. She knew he loved to lie and trick people just as much as her mother did. 

 "What are you waiting for? Take my life then!" Elizabeth answered him with a sure and pure passion. She didn't even hesitate, she didn't even give it a second thought. She answered right there and then. She didn't care at all. By the look on her face...she was easily ready to give up her long life for me...Elizabeth...Dammit. Without her...I had no reason to keep going. I had no reason to keep living. I wouldn't care anymore. The orb then vanished in my father's hand. I hated these talks.

These father and son talks. He always brought up Elizabeth. If he did this deal...if he really took her from me for good...I don't think I would have any will to live anymore. "Don't have that look. The deal was a test. It never came to be" my father then informed me. I believe so much relief hit me at once, my hearts nearly gave out once again. That my soul nearly gave out a 'thank goddess'. Elizabeth, you idiot. I was going to have a serious word with her. I really was. To think out of anything this impressed him.

Out of all the things we've done, that we've been through to prove to everyone...it took this. "So, what did you change the curse to be?" I soon asked harshly getting my father to sigh. He was stating that I was always the one to 'rush' things. I really just wanted out of here. I needed to get out of here. I needed to find her. I needed to get back to her. "She has been reborn. Once her memory returns she will have finally key to remove the immortality you both hold" my father informed me. 

I think I nearly choked on my own breath in shock. I think I nearly died of a heart attack there and then too. Did he want to help CURE us? MY FATHER? What was he planning? What was this? "Of course there will be a price" he then added getting me to glare at him. Of course, there was. This was my bastard father after all. How great. How wonderful. To think this thing really was part of a process to create me and my brothers. "The two of you must kill the Supreme Deity once and for all" he then explained.

Say what now??
