Thank you, my few devoted fans. Here is ch. 2.

Chapter 2: Past / Memory Present

He could see someone running towards him, could almost recognize who it was, but there was that fog, that mysterious, purposeful mist that deliberately kept him from seeing...remembering.

"MASTER RAENEF!!"

Raenef jumped out of his chair, landing on the hard floor. He met the furious eyes of Eclipse, his long hair flying over a shoulder and he smiled meekly.

"Yes...?"

"Master Raenef, how many times do I have to say this? Am I not making it clear enough? PAY ATTENTION!" He brushed his hair back out of his face.

"I'm sorry, Eclipse, it's just that..." Raenef stuttered haltingly as Eclipse's eyes narrowed and his body went taunt.

"T-that is...HOW DARE YOU ADMONISH ME, VERMIN....!?!" Eclipse raised an eyebrow, but did not comment.

"Do you remember what the lesson was?"

Raenef chewed on his bottom lip. "Something, something, memory?"

"Spells to help you remember."

"Remember what?" Raenef asked, poised to take notes.

"Anything and everything. There is also and opposite twin to this spell: a spell to help you forget. That'll be all for today."

Raenef dashed out of the room, only remembering halfway to the field that he could teleport. Could he really use that spell to see who plagued his dreams each and every night?

Muttering "go" under his breath, he was relieved to find that Eclipse had already left the library.

Running a finger along the old, dusty and rotting spines, he chose one titled "Memories."

It fell open to the page he needed, and without reading any directions, he performed the spell.

A blinding flash ensued, and when Raenef could see again, he replaced the book.

"Raenef?"
