Once Upon a Mid Summer Nightmare...
It was a beautiful day in Demon Lord Raenef V's garden. It had been 1 year and a half since everyone split up on their own paths. But afterwards Chris came back because Hejem decided that Chris was in much need for more training (and that Chris got on his nerves), and Erutis came back once again so she could somehow get rid of the Demon Lord Krayon (or as some of us like to call him Demon Lord Fancy-pants). Lord Raenef sat at the bottom of a beautiful cherry tree, reading to what seemed like an ancient book about mystical dragons and other fairy tale creatures along with gallant heroes and princesses, while eating a part of a picnic he packed for himself.
-sigh- "I wish my life was like a romance fairy tale..." He cooed as he took a grape to his mouth, "...then..."
"Then what?" Popped up Erutis. Raenef squealed in shock and jumped at least a foot high.
"Don't ever startle me again!" He said while holding onto his chest that was throbbing with every pound of his heart.
"Oh, Sorry Rae. But I noticed you were sitting here all alone. So I came by to see you. What 'cha reading?"
"I'm just readin' a fairy tale book I just pulled out of the library. No biggy."
"Is it a romance novel?" Erutis asked while batting her eyelashes.
"Maybe."
sigh "I love those stories. And just seeing you here reading one is just so cute!" And with that she pinched one of his cheeks. "Oh ya, and Eclipse was looking for you."
"When did he tell you that?"
"Uh......an hour ago... But it just slipped my mind!" She said cheerily. "That and Chris was acting like an idiot again."
"Poor Chris..."
"Whad'da ya mean?"
"I've also had time to think and that Chris is always being ganged up on... but yet again he's also always getting on my case."
"Well what goes around, comes around."
"True enough. Well, thanks for telling me Eclipse was looking for me...even though by the time I get there he'll be furious, at least you told me."
"Well, later Rae."
"Later." And with that he got up, closed his book, packed up and left the garden... but meanwhile in the study room...
"Where is he!" Shouted Eclipse, furious about the 'much late Demon Lord'. "He was supposed to be here over and HOUR AGO!" He stood there with his crossed arms starring out into the window with his dark eyes and stern pale face. "Lord Raenef would never be THIS late... would he?"
"I'm here." Came a voice that followed the creaking of old mahogany doors.
"Where were you my lord? Your late for your studies." Eclipse practically yelled.
"I'm sorry. I was still outside." Raenef said while getting ready to be scolded at.
"Very well then... Lets continue on chapter 44, section 6.6 on page 1078." He marked as he pulled out a chair for his charge and picked up the book on his desk. Raenef sighed and flopped down on the chair ready to study.
--
Why do these lessons have to be sooo boring! But I can't ask so much from Eclipse anyways...he's too...too...
--
"Master Raenef? Are you paying attention?" Eclipse had said, snapping the dreaming demon lord back into reality.
"Huh? Oh, ya..."
"Very well. Continuing on..."
- -
-sigh- I need something exciting to do!
- -
"Are you ready to try the technique Master Raenef?" Asked Eclipse.
"What?! I uh...barely got " Raenef said quietly while he got ready in crouching position.
"Then you weren't listening, were you?" Raged Eclipse.
- -
Not again! What will get Master Raenef to listen?
- -
"I'm sor-..." He stoped as he flew up from his chair and pointed his finger at the older demon. "... HOW DARE YOU ADMONISH ME, YOU VERMIN!"
"... Glad to see your trying to get the hang of this my leige. We'll go over this once again." And Eclipse started the lesson once again in hope that his charge will listen to him. But as time passed and as Raenef got scolded some more for not paying attention, suppertime came around and it was of course Eclipse's duty to be the kitchen wench.
"Are you sure you don't want my help Eclipse?" Asked Raenef, "I mean it's the least I can do..."
"Go on your merry way my lord, I'm quite sure I don't need your help." He said coldly.
"Ok then..." Raenef mumbled as he solemnly walked out the door.
Maybe I was a little too harsh on Master Raenef... But it was too late. Raenef meandered in the halls talking to himself and hoping the walls of many carved guardian beast listen to his problems. Mopping around and wondering why Eclipse puts up with him.
"I'm always in his way. He constantly is doing things for me and I'm always helpless for everything. -sigh- Why is he still with me? I mean, he constantly is always by my side, when I know he'd be more happier destroying a small village or something..."
"How are you so sure?" Asked Chris who turned the corner to face Raenef straight in the eyes...
"Oh... hi Chris..."
"Come on Raenef," He said while putting an arm around his little brother figure. "I bet that Eclipse is happy just hanging around you."
"Chris, he has no choice BUT to follow me."
"So. You lighten up a room by just walking in. Shouldn't that be encouraging enough?"
"Not really..."
"Give it a rest already Rae, you know you've been through this many times before with everyone."
"Am I getting on your nerves too Chris?" Murmured Raenef, who, by the way, was getting teary eyed on the fact that one of his best friends couldn't stand him anymore.
"I never said that..."
"You are..."
"Rae, don't put words into my mouth...(It's bad enough Erutis does that.)"
"I'm sorry Chris!" He yelled as streams of tears flowed down his face. "I put you, Erutis, and especially Eclipse through all my garbage! I...I don't want you to hate me!"
"Rae I'm not gonna-" He tried to reach for his shoulder but the little demon lord ran off into the distance of the halls and left Chris standing there with one of his hands reaching out towards that very distance...
- -
The time was suppertime as everyone except for a certain demon lord showed up at the table. Erutis was ready to dig in but felt the cold gaze upon a certain demon... -cough- Eclipse -cough-
"Huh? What's with the stare?" She asked as she leaned over her plate, ready to dog in.
"You shouldn't eat until Master Raenef is here."
"I'm sure he wouldn't mind-"
"He's not going to show up for dinner tonight..." Chris explained while staring into his plate with dark pools of emotion.
"What do you mean?" Asked Eclipse as rage was boiling up in the dark demon.
"I... I was talking to him and..."
"And what?" Questioned Erutis, while shoving a piece of potato in her mouth.
"He said he was a disappointment for us... and then he ran off crying..."
"Way to go depraved monk."
"I AM NOT A MONK!"
"Would you two SHUT UP!" Yelled Eclipse. That got the two's attention and respect. They both sat down and looked at Eclipse. Now, it seemed like they had a problem on their hands...
"Why would he think that he's a disappointment to us?" Asked Erutis (she's full of questions today).
- -
"Then you weren't listening, were you?"
"Go on your merry way my lord, I'm quite sure I don't need your help."
...I think I know why...
- -
"I believe it was partially my fault..."
Erutis and Chris just looked at him. His fault? But he's always so attached to him! They both thought.
"...And that I believe an apology is in order..."
"Well, leave Rae to cool down a little. We all know how worked up he gets..." And both Eclipse and Chris nodded. They quietly ate their supper and they all washed the dishes. No word was said the whole time, and an eerie silence illuminated the whole castle.
But by the time when the moon shone Eclipse walked towards his Charge's chamber. Inside the room Eclipse could hear soft crying and whimpering.
"Master Raenef? May I come in?"
"If you want to see -sob-the disappointment -sob-" Came a muffled voice from inside the room.
"My lord you are not a disappointment."
"Yes I am!" He screamed. "I can't do anything! I can't do a simple spell, I can't study, I Can't even pay attention! "
"My lord...you can do spell, you can study, and you do pay attention."
"When have I paid attention!?"
"Many lessons before. Please My lord, let me come in..."
All he heard was more sobbing and crying. He felt so bad but he also needed to give his charge his supper. His long demonic hand glided on the doorknob and turned the handle. He tried to push on the door, but it wouldn't budge!
"Master Raenef, you didn't have to lock the door."
"But I didn't..." He replied.
