'I know that wasn't true but it also doesn't feel like a lie. I wonder if it has something to do with my past life.' I thought my head shot up in pain and I clenched it.
[User needs to stop trying to remember. The user will remember in time. Continuing to try when not ready will result in death.]
'What? Does that mean my past may be more important? I remember entertainment but nothing about myself.', I thought but my head shot up in pain again.
"Are you okay, Mavros." Rias asked with a look of worry.
This caught everyone's attention and they looked at me. I looked up at everyone and saw the worry in everyone. Eri, Asia, and Ophis the most.
"...Yeah, I'm fine. I think I'm just tired." I told them. "I think I'm going to call it a night and get ready for bed." I told them. I walked out of the room feeling their stares on me.
I walked into the men's bath and started soaking myself. 'Why is it dangerous for me to remember my past? I didn't have any trouble telling them about the Seven Deadly Sins and Escanor's life but now it could result in my death. I want to know more but I don't want to die.', I thought.

'I might have made a mistake. I would have accepted either way but I hope it's worth it.', I thought and sighing.
"Something you want to talk about? Also, why do you still have the knife in your chest?", Kiba came into the men's bath and asked.
"It's not important, I just found out that I may be dying." I told him not to let that sip and not answer his question about the knife.
"Wait... I thought you were immortal?", Kiba said.
"I am immortal but even immortals can die. I didn't mean to tell you I'm dying. I don't want you telling anyone. I may be able to stop it but I have to do it alone." I told him.
"I know that feeling myself. I won't say anything. Let me know if you need anything or someone to talk to." Kiba told me.
"Enough about me. Kiba, I want you to do extra training tonight." I told him to catch his attention.
"What did you have in mind? I trust you in your training methods because I've experienced your power." he told me.
"I want you to mess around with [Sword Birth]." I told him.
"My sacred gear? What do you want me to do with it?", he asked. "[Sword Birth] has the ability to make any concept of a sword, right?", I asked him. He nodded at me. "I want you to make new swords. Trying to make a sword that can stop regeneration. Another sword idea would be a frost sword. This may be dangerous for you but it's possible... make a holy sword." I told him.
"I don't want anything to do with holy swords." he spits at me venomously.
"I'm guessing that something happened in your past?", I asked him. He reluctantly nodded at me. "The holy sword wasn't important but I thought it may help against Riser and his peerage." I told him.
"The cold sword I can do easily enough. The regeneration stopping sword may be difficult. I wouldn't even know where to start." he told me.
I debated on giving him the advice he needed to make the sword but gave in. "Make a sword with a poison or cause decay." I told him and got out of the bath. I went to my room and saw Ophis laying down. She looked at me coming in and seemed to be analyzing me. I didn't say anything and got into bed with her and held her in my arms.
"Is something wrong?", Ophis asked, cuddling up to me.
"Yes, but I will take care of it." I told her.
"You know you can rely on me, right? I'm your mate, lean on me every once in a while." she told me.
"I know I can. This is something I don't want to worry you about though. If I can't solve it myself I will ask you." I told her.
"You better." she told me, causing me to smile and falling asleep with her in my arms.
The next morning everyone but Kiba was up early for training. "Where is Kiba, he is normally always on time?", Rias asked.
"I had him do extra training last night. Let him sleep for a bit." I told her.
"What did you have him do?", she asked me.
"He will be your secret weapon for Riser. Ask him later if you want." I told her, causing her to nod.
"How do you all feel from yesterday?", I asked them with a smirk.
"Sore." they all said, causing me to laugh.
"Well, today it's going to be a little tougher." I told them, causing them to groan. "Well, let us get to it." I told them and we all separated other than Asia and me.
"Asia, do you think you can do an AOE heal now?", I asked her.
"I... think so." she told me, unsure. I had her do it and I noticed a faint glowing light come out around her but really short distance. I walked into it and she did manage to make an AOE heal "Perfect now we just need you training this up a bit more and your distance will go up." I told her.
"Will you pull the knife out now? I can't believe you were serious about keeping that in." she asked me, causing me to chuckle.
I pulled it out and got rid of it. "Happy now." I told her. She nodded at me and we started going around to everyone to see their training.
