Zell was sitting on a stone monument looking out over the expansive jungle and clearance that was forming with several wooden structures and some stone buildings.
So they are one large guild with two champions and three small guilds with one champion each.
A very fragile power balance.
He felt heavy in his heart experiencing the sights of today, the fact his fellow people were just the same even though he had earned them a better chance to fight back.
"Why?"
"If you have this power, you can fight and grow strong together."
"There is bountiful food, water and no dire need to turn on each other."
"Much fewer sell women to orcs in such a way, if it was consensual, there is no problem..."
"I didn't die and sacrifice a happy life with my beautiful wives so many times for this."
His heart was heavy despite them being reborn and by his side now. The fact they didn't remember their past lives, yet he did, was agonising for Zell.
That's why I must find Garnet and Colette...
Efrita.
Silvaria.
The next moment, a soft hand touched his, a vampire with luscious blonde hair gently grasping his hand as she looked up to the rising moon.
"Do you remember saving us from that castle..."

What is she talking about, and who is this "us" she speaks of?
Zell didn't answer at first, unsure what they meant, as he suddenly felt a strange phenomenon: one of Elizabeth's eyes was red while the other turned golden, and even her hair seemed to have a pink hue.
"I never told you about my original world or life, right?"
"Bad guy, did you think we could just die like that and forget you..."
"Hmph... after you had your way with us in that lonely castle and showed us the world?"
He felt a short headache as Elizabeth's hand slipped over his cheeks while her crimson lips kissed his neck, covering it in drool as she licked him like a serpent.
"From the moment I saw you, there was something different, and after a long time, I finally realised that I wasn't betraying my first love."
Zell was a little irritated that she might have another lover and frowned, but her fangs began to slowly sink into his neck as the sound of the celebrating elves now expanding their territory were having a victory feast to help the captured girls improve their mood.
"Because you are him..."
She hugged onto his neck, sucking his blood faster, the intoxicating flavours spreading through Elizabeth's body as she enjoyed how tight his arms wrapped around her back, almost crushing her bones.
"Vincent Schwartz."
It was then that, finally, he began to realise...
Who she was, who they were.
All the puzzle pieces fit together, her one golden eye and the pink hair... A distant and blurry memory from his life as Vincent, a pair of twins trapped in one body, forever sleeping in a dark castle as if waiting for some prince to save them.
"And thus, I knew from the very bottom of my soul, Vincent Schwartz was the only man I would ever lay my fangs in."
Slowly, a name whispered itself onto his lips and made sense out of everything else, including her statement, but also who the "us" was referring to.
"Ophelia, Ophelis... You, remember?"
It was painful how a painful headache attacked his mind.
Elizabeth/Ophelia dug her fangs deeper, drinking his blood, wrapping her thighs and tail around his waist as their hearts began to combine; she felt satisfied by him calling their former names, now the twins became a single entity with memories of both lives, yet he felt a sense of freedom, release...
They remembered...
Their story had returned, and they found peace.
"Finally, Bad Guy, we waited so long for you to notice... Ever since you were so weak and almost died to that stupid bear, we tried to appeal, but something stopped us from speaking back then like a damn leash... stupid... make me wait!"
"Master... so long we waited for you, I am so glad you remembered."
Zell frowned, realising now why sometimes they seemed so different... If they were combined, would the personalities always exist as two entities?
The taste, flavour and flow of his blood sent Elizabeth into a trance as her body stiffened, her thighs tightly trapping his lower waist while the party now finished with the expansion and construction work planned to start.
The more she drank, the more she felt connected to him, nostalgia and deep affection overwhelming the pair as they embraced under the moonlight.

After Elizabeth finished feeding, she lay against Zell's chest, listening to his heartbeat slowly breathing.
"Bad guy... will everyone come back one day?"
His face was filled with sorrow, the memories he made with everyone and those he loved... The moment he met himself in the past before the world entered the third merger.
Vincent said this was the doomed timeline.
Can I really not save everyone I love?
No, surely, there is a solution.

"I will make sure we can meet again, all together."
"Hmhm."
She looked up as Zell's forehead touched hers, a warm feeling inside her heart, relieved.
"But bad guy, until we reunite..."
"Hmm, won't you play with us?"
"Play?"
Elizabeth stood up, the skirt opening the view of a clear see-through patch of panties as her tongue slid over her teeth.
"Hey, hey, did you forget how we met last time~ don't you want to seal the deal and make me yours again finally?"
Zell and Elizabeth shared a gaze, her tongue sliding further as Zell quickly put both his hands across the edge, pushing himself up and closing the gap between them as their lips locked.
Her sharp fangs hit his flesh, making her shiver with the taste of his blood flooding into her throat.
Zell grabbed her hips, her body closely meshed against his, their tongues mixing fluids and blood as Elizabeth moaned loudly into his mouth, biting harder than usual, the excitement building up.
"Ahh, master, bad guy, you're getting hard already~ do you want me that badly?"
Zell pushed her down onto the grass, her legs wrapping around his waist while she moved from his lips and sucked his neck, drooling all over, her lustful expression driving Zell wild as he hardened from the sight of her dress slipping open, revealing her black bra and huge, perky round breasts.
"Bad guy, let's play~"
Elizabeth bit harder, digging her fangs deep into his flesh as she enjoyed his hands slipping into her bra, squeezing her tits firmly while she moaned louder.
The hunger for blood, the desire to become one...
"I missed you so much..."
"Elizabeth, I am here, now and forever."
With the full return of memories, they were free of whatever controlled them before, enjoying the passion and lust without care.
Zell then ripped off her bra and skirt, exposing her thong as she twisted her hips to seduce him further. She used her skilled fingers to easily unfasten his trousers, letting them slide down as Elizabeth's eyes widened at the size of his throbbing member near her puffy, wet mound.
