Ashley was on the fishing boat when suddenly he had a strange feeling that something wasn't right

It was like the feeling of deja vu, yet the feeling of a forgotten memory, together with the feeling of being disoriented from experiencing a Mandela Effect. 

Even his link to the 3 Guardians and the two puppets seemed to be confusing as it seemed everything was a blur, and that he couldn't see anything that made sense. 

Suddenly, he felt himself forcefully teleported!

He materialized and found that he was immobilized, standing still like a statue

Next to him were his real body, Medusa, Lilith, Selene, Tiffany and William in the castle!

"Finally! The last piece of the puzzle. Now I can figure out the cause of the anomaly in casualty" a handsome blonde man said

He was shocked that this handsome blonde who could even immobilize Medusa, Lilith and Selene! This wasn't someone he could fight or resist against. He couldn't even make a sound, both because he was immobilized, and because he was terrified!

"The question is... who are you? Your minds seemed to be jumbled up with each other" the blonde asked, touching Ashley's forehead and looking into his eyes

Ashley felt his head hurt as the blond man fingers phased into his head and brain, seemingly rummaging around

He looked through his memories and understood that Ashley's mind was linked to Medusa, Lilith and Selene, and through them, he was linked to Tiffany, William and Michael

"I think I'll separate your minds first to sort everyone out" he said shaking his head. He put his right hand up and snapped his fingers

Ashley suddenly felt his connection to Medusa, Lilith and Selene cut off, which also meant his control of Tiffany and William was cut off

He frowned before realizing his connection to his original body was also cut off!

How was that possible? Wasn't the real him in his original body? 

He looked at his lifeless original body writhe in pain and suddenly started to glow, trying to heal itself. Now that he didn't feel the link and was out of his body, who was it suffering in his real body?

"No, this is not your real body. This is your real body" he said, talking to Ashley who was only in the shapeshifting body, putting one hand on each head

Ashley suddenly found that he has been completely blinded and was back in his own body again. He was blind, mute and in so much pain from the gold bonds!

But he wasn't deaf and so could hear everything that was going on

The blonde stood in front of Ashley's real body and started talking directly the blind and mute body

"I never anticipated a person with healing magic could use be used to release demons with the highest godly golden bonds.

Also, normally healers are female. Your name is Ashley, isn't it? A female name...no wonder" the blonde said, looking at Ashley's body trying to heal itself and glowing a white golden color

"Usually my different religions would immediately take the female healers after being summoned and turn them into the pope or saint, completely controlled by my many religions or churches. Such religious summons would never release demons" he said

Ashley could only listen without responding, but his body seemed to be bleeding as he was trying to heal

"I am shocked that you survived this torture. This punishment was meant for demons, not humans. I'll release you now" the blonde said

Suddenly Ashley's pain disappeared, and when slowly opened his eyes, he found that he was no longer blinded! He was naked, with all the bonds gone, and his body completely healed

But when he turned to look around, he saw Medusa, Lilith and Selene with bonds over their eyes, mouth, clamp to lock out their pussies, nipples and even had the spike up their pussies

Each of them had all of their own and each other's bonds, like Ashley did! They were in so much pain they were bleeding all over, and they didn't have healing powers that automatically healed itself

They were all convulsing in pain, but Ashley couldn't talk or do anything to help them as he was still immobilized

"Your actions in rescuing the demons have changed causality. I won't punish you for it since you were ignorant about what you did. But would be troublesome to reset all the demons' actions. However, their major actions can be negated, but it won't be easy. Some of the consequences will be impossible to untangle and best left untouched" he said and looked to get ready for a major act

He clapped his hands instead of snapping his fingers and Ashley found himself teleported again

Ashley found himself on the ground, and he could see the mountains on one side, and the sea on the other, and the Dark Forest nearby. It was a empty piece of land with a old path passing by

Immediately realizing that this was where Ayla used to be, he was shocked.

"There. I negated the obvious changes, including the start of a new empire" the blonde said, looking exhausted

Suddenly, Ashley realized that he could talk again

"What did you do? Where is Melissa? Where are Medusa, Lilith or Selene?" Ashley said

"I didn't do anything to your wife. She should still be wherever she was if the demons never existed" he answered, looking like it took alot of power to negate his acts

"As for the demons...they are too powerful to be here in this realm, especially at the same time. They are powerful enough to be a ruler of the demons. They were sent back to continue their punishment" he said

"No! They won't do that. When our minds were joined, we became one! They are no danger to humanity!" Ashley insisted

"I admit you seemed to have made them better. But don't be fooled, they are still demons after all" he said 

"I'll get them back, I swear" Ashley said

The blonde laughed

"Alright, if you do, I won't stop you. If you manage to do it twice, it is proof that it was always meant to happen" the blonde said

"Who are you?" Ashley asked

"You can call me the Maker of Dreams, Protector of Causality. I am the Trihader" he said and started walking away

"Are you the god who imprisoned the demons?" Ashley asked 

"Perhaps, perhaps not. I sensed that they were here before this era, I might have been a different god then" he said as he disappeared into the distance

"He might have been a different god? What does that mean?" Ashley wondered

He heard something scurrying away, and when he turned, he saw Michael running off naked

He frowned, but decided to let him go. There are more important things to do now, like find Melissa

As he turned back, Trihader was gone

Looking to the sky, there was no sign of Talas in the sky

"Melissa.." he said, wondering where the city was, or was she even still there?

He did say, she would be where she would if the demons didn't exist

He suddenly felt that he was moving slightly closer and looked down, realizing that he was flying

Was that an ability he had all along?

It was then that he realized that he not only had flying abilities, he was a high vampire and had all those abilities!

But wasn't Michael the one who was bitten and given powers by Selene?

Now was not the time to question his good fortune

Since he didn't know where Talas was, he decided to fly to where they found Melissa, in Duramar!

--

It wasn't as if the God Trihader was careless, absent minded or made a mistake. He simply separated them and gave them memories not by their bodies, but by what their mind was used to

The demonesses had their own power with no changes, but Ashley received the powers of the high vampire, as well as all the skills he learnt and magic that Melissa thought him. That was because these were the powers that he used as his own, regardless which body he was in!

This meant that Ashley also had his healing abilities since that was what he knew how to use, but didn't know how to change identities since he never used this ability. Michael on the other hand was the opposite, namely he didn't know and have all the new abilities as Ashley, but he knew how to use his ability to change appearance!

Although he lost it all, at least he is starting on a better level than he was

He wasn't a mere healer, nor was he a cripple without even the help of the demonesses

But he had so much to do

First, he had to find Melissa, then perhaps Tiffany, Medusa, Lilith and Selene

What about Rancell? Cassie? He didn't know if they would even remember him, so he put it out of his mind

I tweaked the story quite a bit. Would have wasted several story arcs if he just found Melissa and the others too easily
