AN: I absolutely adore Eclipse, especially when he's straight x3. So, no, this is one of the few fictions that is not RaexEclipse. Sorry! Also, I'm really not that far on Demon Diary, so please excuse any blaring misconceptions of the plot, or anything xD Alright, on to the fic now, eh?

~~~~~~~

The dungeons lurking in the shadows of Raenef's castle were the final homes of many a beast. One sat, crumpled against cold stone walls, white wings drawn upon a body clad in ripped silk. This creature of heaven remained dry eyed even as her death day approached closer still, blue eyes watching the moon slowly move across the inky sky through the small window that had been her eyes for weeks. Her eyes flashed from their glassy stair at the walls around her as the groaning of hinges echoed lazily through the dark air of the dungeon, followed by footsteps that shattered harshly against the silence.

"Eclipse, do we really have too?" A young voice moaned.

"You will not become a great lord without having control over your enemies, Master Raenef." The young voice sighed at the cold words of the other.

"I guess..." The flickering amber light of a torch began to ebb at the stone walls that ran close to the heavenly woman. Her eyes left the ground, glancing over to the barred mouth of her cell with an anxious anticipation that had been gnawing at her heart since her capture. Ah, so judgement day had come, bodied in the form of demons... Three figures appeared at the cell bars, one tall another other short, the third of a slender build. The flamelight crackled in the air as it was swung closer to the bars, casting a dull hue of color across the form of the woman.

"Eclipse...Is this her?" A woman's voice asked, deep and strong.

"Yes." There was the jingling of keys as they were drawn to the ancient lock and, with a shuddering groan, the bars swung open. The tall man walked quickly inside, tugging at a lead of chain that strung to the heavenly woman's arms and legs. She did not struggle, instead standing up slowly and padding silently to the man's side. He nodded slightly and the four beings began their accent out of the dank dungeon. As they walked, the blue eyes of the young demon lord looked curiously at his mentor. Raenef's tuned senses felt something.... Off about the older demon. His face was an ashen color, face covered with a sheen of sweat. His thin lips were drawn into a slight grimace as he walked, dark eyes held carefully before him.

"Eclipse...?"

"What?" His head swung at Raenef's voice, his own voice harsh. He winced slightly as his words echoed off the broad hallways.

"Are you alright?"

"Of course." He said, more quietly now. Soon they came upon a broad door, and it swung open with a shattering light into the darkness, opening into the main hall of the castle. A group of men approached them, taking away the woman with an exchange of the chains. "Master Raenef, it has come to my attention that I have...pressing matters to attend to. Would you mind...?"

"Huh? Oh! Yeah, sure." Raenef nodded, and Eclipse left the blond boy with quick steps. Raenef watched his retreating back curiously.

"My lord," an armor clad man muttered, "Please, follow us." Raenef looked back at one of the men who held the woman and he nodded. "The execution cannot be late." Raenef winced, but nodded; he couldn't let Eclipse down with his cowardice! He followed the men, Erutis at his heels.

"Eclipse, you really aren't as mysterious as I've thought. Look, I've figured you out already." Eclipse's spine stiffened as he turned, quickly closing the doors to his quarters as he spun around to face the seer, Meruhase.

"What are you talking about? How did you get in here?" He asked harshly, brushing away strings of hair from his face. She smiled slightly, walking towards him.

"Oh, my dear Eclipse, you are falling apart, once again. What, did you think you would never see another who looked like her? Ciel?" He grimaced at the name. The seer walked closer still, resting a cool hand upon the man's brow. "You've drawn yourself sick." She frowned, muttering a string of alien words as a cooling spell washed over Eclipse's body. "You will kill yourself one day if you continue on like this; I have seen it, Eclipse."

"Meruhase, I am fine. I don't need your counciling. Please, leave me be." Eclipse said, turning his head from the woman and walking to sit down at the foot of his Spartan bed. He was a man of battle and few words, no traces of his lavish history in his present life. He held his head in his hands and sighed, the bed groaning slightly under his weight.

"Don't lie! You cannot live your life alone; Ciel taught you that! Do not make her death in vain, Eclipse; she would be sick to see you like this!"

"Shut up! I don't need you and your mocking words, Meruhase! I have enough to worry about." He snapped from behind his arms. The woman closed her eyes.

"Yes, yes, I suppose. But Eclipse, how can I let you continue to fall? I've seen what will happen to you, oh God, Eclipse..." She sat down next to him. She sighed as he remained silent. "I can take it all away, Eclipse. I can wipe it all away and you can live on without a thought about that woman, but you must tell me your past with her. Ciel." There was another period of crushing silence until Eclipse drew his face from his arms, looking at the seer. "You know I can, Eclipse. Please, I cannot bear to watch you like this."

"You have become far too interested in my wellbeing, Meruhase. It is very undemon-like." She smiled, raising her palms before her as a rosy orb began to melt out of the air.

"This is a spell that draws out any words you say, tears them from your very mind. You must be careful not to utter my name, nor the name of any being you wish to keep in your memory. Do you understand? Memories cannot be resurrected." Eclipse nodded. "Then, let us begin."
