Chapter Two
Erutis blinked, then suddenly let out a howl of laughter. Tears started rolling down her eyes and she clutched at her stomach desperately. When she had calmed down enough, her and Chris approached the scene. There was a black furry thing, sitting on it's hind legs, whiskers in air. Next to it was an unconscious Raenef. Erutis couldn't help it. She fell back on her bum and cried with laughter.
"Eclipse is a HAMSTER!!!!!!!!!"
When Raenef came to, he was lying on the stone floor. He blinked to clear his head and the memory rushed back to him. He froze. That couldn't possibly be true. He slowly rolled over...to find himself staring into a pair of black, beady eyes.
"Gah!" He sat up quickly. In front of him was a small, fuzzy black hamster that looked up at him and tilted it's head.
"Squeak?"
Raenef stared. "What am I going to do with it?! And where's Eclipse?"
"SQUEAK!" the animal indignantly raised itself to it's full height, all of three and half inches, and glared.
"Yup, it's definitely Eclipse," Chris said. "I never met a rodent that glared before. They all just kind of pitter-patter around and mind their own business." They all watched solemnly as the hamster waddled over to where Chris was sitting on the floor and promptly bit his finger. It then padded back to Raenef, looked up at his master with the big hamster eyes, and sighed. It then stretched out on the floor and promptly went to sleep.
Raenef extended his hand and delicately touched his ex-tutor. The fur was silky and soft, just like Eclipse's hair. The young demon lord carefully picked the creature up and held it in his palm. The creature was light in his palm and Raenef said "go", teleporting to his room.
Hamster-Eclipse had woken up when he sensed magick-usage. Chris had finally done a useful thing, Raenef found, as he entered his room and found a hamster tank filled with an inch of wood shavings, a water-bottle, a wheel, and some nuts and fruits. He headed towards it. Hamster-Eclipse's eyes widened and he was about to give a squeak of protest when he was lowered into the tank. He looked up resentfully at the demon lord before huffing and burying himself in wood shavings.

Hamster-Eclipse:
Eclipse used his little paws to dig himself a small hole and curl up into a ball two times smaller than him. He brooded. He, Eclipse, Demon of the Third Order, was cuddling withing wood-shavings, as a hamster. He scowled his rodent-teeth and sat up momentarily to scratch his side with his hind leg. He watched his lord pacing to and fro in his room, bristling. They better turn his back and soon. He paused his thinking to totter over to the food dish and grab a nut. Using his sharp teeth to nibble at the edges, he continued musing. He couldn't be angry at his lord, it wasn't Raenef's fault. His eyes caught on an object inside his tank. It was a running wheel. Hamster-Eclipse's eyes blazed red at the degrading object, yet instinct unwillingly pulled him toward it. The black creature gingerly stepped into the device, then set off running on it at a leisurely pace. His pride protested most loudly, yet hamster instincts could not be denied. After promising Chris horrific death, he quietly resigned to his fate. Eclipse could not think of a worse belittling in his life.

Raenef paced his room. He had to turn Eclipse back. He couldn't very well have a mouse for a teacher. "Tomorrow," Raenef thought, as he gave a jaw-cracking yawn. He climbed into bed and blew out the candles, leaving the hamster in total darkness.
About two minutes later, Raenef's eyes flew open. There was a loud, insistent noise breaking the silence in his bedroom. He quickly lit the candles again and looked around in fear. His gaze settled on an indignant creature banging the water-bottle against the glass tank. Raenef gasped at his self-stupidity.
He gently picked him up and brought it to his chest, cuddling the furball. "Oh, Eclipse, I'm so sorry. I forgot you weren't an ordinary hamster. You can sleep with me tonight as long as you don't run away," Raenef stated as he pressed his cheek to the little head and stroked the soft fur. He then lay back down, placing hamster-Eclipse next to him and quickly falling asleep.
Somewhere in the middle of the night, Raenef rolled over onto the creature. Eclipse was left with just his head sticking out from under Raenef's chest. His first reaction was to turn around and bite the offender, but he would never hurt his master. Besides, he was warm and could feel his master's heart beat. Hamster-Eclipse gave a weak little squeak before falling asleep, thinking this wasn't so bad.
