Element: Hi everyone. Read and review the story please. Enjoy
"Where do you want me to begin Master Ice?" asked Eclipse as Ice went to close the window.
"Begin where you were that morning." Answered Ice as he went to go sit on Kihira's bed. Leaving Eclipse to stand in the enormous room.
"As you wish Master Ice." Replied Eclipse.
Flashback to seventy-five years ago
The black velvet curtains that were in the room blocked the morning sun. The size of the room was a moderately good size, but nothing like a demon lord's room. There was a king-size bed in the middle of the room. A thin clothed canopy covered the bed. There were two figures lying upon the bed.
The smaller figure started to awake from the peaceful sleep. She slowly sat up and looked around the room. She stretched her arms and popped her back as part of her morning routine. She rubbed her eye as her senses were coming back to her. Then she felt a hand on her thigh. She turned her head to look at a handsome sleeping demon.
His eyes were still closed but his face showed that he was waking up. He had a smirk on his face. Apparently he was happy that he had caught Kihira of guard. His long raven hair was sprawled out around him. He then turned on his side, and brought Kihira back to the bed to sleep again. Eclipse smirked again when he felt her turn her face toward his chest. He wrapped his arm around her back.
Eclipse loved it whenever Kihira came over to the Raenef castle and spent the night. Usually her original purpose was to have a meeting with Raenef IV. They usually talked about their battle strategies for using in the Hangma war.
The two definitely talked about battle strategies. Kihira was thinking of conjuring a couple of tornadoes while fighting. Her skills were still limited at the time; she could probably only maintain one small, humiliating, weak tornado. She still had to finish up a little bit of training. She decided to try summoning a typhoon instead.
After Kihira and Raenef IV had finished discussing strategies, it was very late. After Raenef had retired to his bedchambers, Kihira went looking for Eclipse. When she found him he was in the library. He was putting away books that Raenef had been doing research in.
When Eclipse sensed Kihira, he put the remaining books on the table and looked strait at her. He smiled, and held out an arm for her to come. She quietly went closer to Eclipse. When she was in range he wrapped both of his arms around her waist, and kissed her passionately.
Once he ended the kiss, he picked her up, and took her to his room. Kihira would always sleep in his room if she had to spend the night at the castle. When they had reached his room, he went and laid her on his bed. He went to go change into his bedclothes since they were going to "sleep".
When he got back she was laying on the bed comfortably. He smirked; he got on the bed and kissed her neck. He could feel her shiver under his kiss. He pulled away and saw the face of his love. It was somewhat blushed from the idea of what might happen. He only smiled and went on with what he was doing.
They were both tired that morning. She did not want to leave his bed at all. She liked being close to him. Eclipse brought her even closer to his body. Then a knock came at the door to Eclipse's room. It made both of the snuggling demons jump slightly.
"Eclipse, Eclipse I need to talk to you." Came Raenef's voice at the door.
Kihira moaned slightly as Eclipse got up to talk with his master. First he had to put on his house robe. She admired his backside from the time he got out of the bed to when he got the house robe on. The way his raven hair cascaded down his pale back was a beautiful sight to see.
Once he had gotten the robe on, he went to the door and opened it. When he was out of his room he closed the door again, and leaned up against it. He bowed his head to his master. Raenef acknowledged his reverence, and began to speak.
"Eclipse, today is when they are supposed to send an offering. But a messenger just came and said that the offering has run away and they can't find her. So I need you to go track her down and bring her here."
"Yes master. Where do you think I shall find the woman?"
"Well, she lived in the north, so she might have escaped into the forest that resides around that area. Start there Eclipse. Contact me when you are back at the castle."
"Where are you going to be Master?"
"Well, Kihira has an item that may prove useful at her castle. So I am going to have a look at this item."
"Yes Master." Then Eclipse turned and opened the door to his room and went in. Raenef smiled to himself. He noticed to fatigue in his servant's face. Raenef could only imagine what Eclipse and Kihira were doing last night. He turned to go get his things together for when he went to Kihira's castle.
"What did Raenef say?" asked Kihira as she got dressed.
"He said that I was to go and find the offering that was for him and bring it back here." Answered Eclipse as he let the robe fall to the floor. Allowing his hair to cover his posterior.
She went over to Eclipse who was looking through his closet for his cloak that he would wear as he traveled to find the offering. She ran her hands over his back, then moved her hands to rest over his abdomen. She rested her cheek on his smooth skin and sighed.
He rested his own hands on hers. He loved Kihira so much. He never wanted to hurt her in anyway or lose her.
"I was really hoping you would be able to come with Raenef and I to my castle."
"Don't worry. I'll probably be able to go to your castle tonight."
"Why is that?"
"Raenef is going to have a little bit of fun with his offering tonight." He could feel her giggle at the last comment he had made. Then her hands slipped away. He slightly turned his head and saw her continue dressing. He turned back and started to dress himself.
In a forest toward the North
"This is taking longer than I thought it would." mumbled Eclipse to himself as he was walking through ancient looking forest. Since the sun had a hard time of illuminating this forest, it was hard to see and the ground was soft. But strange enough, there was an eerie glow that came from all the plant life.
Eclipse had recalled a legend that Kihira had once told him. It was in an ancient looking textbook that Eclipse had never heard of before. When he looked in the book he could not read it at all.
Kihira told him that only a few demon lords knew how to read this kind of text. She was able to read it because that the first demon lord of her castle created this particular language.
The legend talked of a forest that was the final resting-place of all the elemental type demons and demon lords. Their spirits would be one with whatever element was their specialty. Most demons would combine with the plant life if their mastered element were not a normal element in the forest. Such elements would be ice and fire.
One they had combined with the plant they had chosen, they plant would glow, showing that it was chosen to hold that demon or demon lord's spirit. Eclipse knew very well that Kihira would one day be here. But not anytime soon. She had the rest of her long life ahead of her.
He continued through the eerie forest to find the offering for his master. It took him some time until he came to a small pond in a clearing. He looked around the small clearing. Then he decided to take a small drink out of the pond. Once he dipped his hand in the water he sighed.
"You might as well stop hiding." Then he heard hurried footsteps headed deep into the forest. He quickly turned around and chased the hooded female.
They ran for about twenty seconds till Eclipse caught her. She struggled against him, trying desperately to get away from him. She was determined not to be a wife for a deranged demon lord.
"Stop struggling wench." Commanded Eclipse. The hood of the cloak that she was wearing fell. Revealing her delicate face to Eclipse.
She had fair skin, blonde hair, and soft blue eyes. She kept on struggling against Eclipse's strong grip. She gave up on trying to get away and fell limp on the ground crying. Her body was shaking from the sobs. Eclipse let go of her wrist, and knelt next to her.
"Please do not take me to the demon lord."
"It cannot be helped." As he said this he pulled her up by her arm.
"Let me GO!" she yelled. Eclipse only tightened his grip on her arm.
"Silence." Eclipse tried to teleport out of the forest, but it didn't work. Then he tried again. Still it did not work.
"If you are trying to use magic it will not work. The elders of the village of were I live said that magic cannot be used in this forest. Reason being that this forest harbors countless demonic spirits." Remarked the mortal offering. Eclipse turned his head and glared at her. Then turned his head turned his head to look at the surrounding area.
This was going to present a problem of getting back to the Raenef castle. Eclipse sighed heavily, and then he turned to look at the female.
"What is your name?" he asked coldly.
"Uh... my name is Mary Katelyn." She answered quietly with a hint of fear in her voice.
"Do you happen to have a nickname? I do not feel like wasting my breath on saying your name."
"MK. That is my nickname." She said. Eclipse took out a rope and bound her hands together behind her back. He put her in front of him so he could have a firm hold on her hands. Also to prevent her from escaping.
They walked on for seemed like hours. It seemed as if there was no end to this vast forest. Eclipse now realized why few that went into the forest ever came out of it. If he were not able to find a way out Raenef and Kihira would come looking for him.
After walking for three hours, which were three hours of sheer annoyance from the offering, the two stopped for a break. Eclipse sat on a rock while she sat quietly on the ground. Eclipse closed his eyes to try and remember the maps he had seen of the northern area.
He could feel two eyes burning holes into his face from MK's eyes. He cracked open an eye very slightly to look at her. He opened his eye enough to see her, but him not to notice that his eye was open.
She kept on staring for two minutes straight, until...
"Why do you keep staring at me like that?!" yelled Eclipse as his dark eyes flew open. It startled her so badly that she fell backwards. She made a quick movement to sight upright again and respond.
"Gaw, do you like to scare innocent people?" she asked sounding annoyed herself.
"No, it's just that I don't like people staring at me for no reason!" he snapped at her as he stood up.
"Well, I have an answer for you on that one." She said.
"Let's hear it then?" First she quickly looked in his face and kissed Eclipse, then pulled away.
"You remind me so much of my boyfriend back home." Then she came close to his face again, and kissed him. Eclipse was startled then he closed his eyes and kissed her back.
"E-Eclipse?" a voice said sounding small. He quickly broke away from MK and turned to where the voice came from and saw Kihira and Raenef right behind her. Kihira was on the verge of tears and Raenef had no expression on his face.
Kihira couldn't take it anymore; she covered her mouth with her hand and ran deep into the forest. Raenef snapped back to his senses and tried stopping her but he failed in his attempt. Eclipse pushed MK away from him and ran after Kihira.
A little white dragon appeared from out of Raenef's black hair. It hummed something somewhat resembling worry for her master that just ran off.
"Pearloy, take her back to my castle. We are going to have to deal with the ones that ran off before we deal with this creature." The small dragon transformed to her true from and picked up MK with her tail and took of to the Raenef castle. Raenef sighed heavily as he went searching for Eclipse and Kihira.
Element: the conclusion of the flashback will be in the next chapter. The chapter was supposed to have a song, but, I'm going to be hectic cleaning the house for July 4. So ch 10 will have the song. Leave a review. Later.
