---------Chapter 1------------

[XXXX]|===============

Surrounded. I am surrounded by black. There is nothing. Am I such as a trailing thought? A whisper in the wind?

I who once was so great. I who once was the most feared... I am scared.

I am alone. Never have I ever been truely... alone.

Even before my rein as the next demon lord to the name of Raenef. My 'father' threaded me so early on in life, raised me till I was old enough to read, and sent me to Krayon's palace to study further. I was trained and tough by Eclipse, the ever faithful servant of mine. All where there.

My rein, Eclipse was always there for me. Always... and Krayon would come to my call if I so needed. Though I never did call on him once. I had my loyal tutor, Eclipse. His line, bound to the name of Raenef.

He was always there.... always......

This is really my first time... alone. In the darkness. I am floating. At least I feel as though I am floating. Fear strings itself so well threw my veins. ... Veins. I do not have veins. I am... dead. This is what happens to the dead Demon Lords? Be injested by the bowls of darkness, so dark that even their dark hearts fear this?

Is this the hell our kind spawned from?

I wish to shrink into a ball. Crawl away, shiver and cry. Waiting for my tutor to come for me. To remind me, when I see his feet, that a strong Demon Lord would -never- hold such fear. I should stand tall, be proud.

I hear a whisper. If I had such a thing of a body, I would strain my ears to find the direction of the sound. But nothing of that sort can happen. More whispering. Slowly growing louder. What is it that comes to feast on my soul? Am I to die again?

"Raenef IV... your betrayel has been unjust. All events have concerning you have upsetted the Order of Events. We wish to bargin." A rough... voice? I cannot tell if I am hearing it. How could I? But the voice... it is old. Wise. Cold. Emotionless.

'Bargin? Of what is there to bargin?' I try to say. But I unable. Fear spreads threw me again. I am bodiless truely. Would they understand?! Who is this they?

"Your time was cut... your heir is reining in you steed. And you've been betrayed. Your true death has upsetted the Order. We wish to bargin." The 'male' voice stated.

"You wish for your servant, we wish for your life. But you are unable to have the title of Demon Lord. Repent your crimes commited with such hate, and we will grant you time to woe one such Ecpilse." a feminine voice softly whispers.

To... woe... to woe Eclipse? Take him from my son? Have him for my own? The one who betrayed me for the future?!

"Do we agree?"

The... Gods...

The Gods wish to bargin with me.

Agree? Do -we- agree? I try to shove away my confuseion. Their words hold double meaning. I know this. For they are the gods! OF all things the Gods! But... to have my Eclipse back... it would be... wonderous. To finally fit him into my calculations on time...

Would one turn this down? If so that one would be a total fool.

A shock of white light spread before me. Pain.. I realize I am experienceing pain! I shut my eyese tightly, my body being recreated. The seering pain hurts...

I hit something, whinceing from the burning raging threw my body... threading the veins. It is all a blur. And I grow so.. tired... my whole self...returning. I can feel the coolness of my hair on my face... my fingures burning with blood... my body being pressed down by some unknown force. I ache. Everything aches.

And I tire so easily. I am lulled by the sound of a beating heart. My own....
