Chapter 8
Raenef layed there, face still white. But... what was his name? It hit him. Should he ask? Will he get mad? There was only one way to find out...
"W-w-w-who a-are y-y-you?" He stuttered as his body shook in fear of his captor's future actions.
"Ah. How rude of me. I never properly introduced myself." He took Raenef's hand and kissed it lightly, freezing Raenef in utter disgust, horror, and confusion. "My name is Prince Lucifer. Guardian of Tortured Souls and Darkness."
Eh-heh... Raenef thought, Well it sure describes the place... he shuddered.
"Now, I must be going in preparation my sweet. You will need preparation too." He snapped his fingers and a small group of pink moonlight shadows came holding a white gown, similar to a wedding dress but more... shredded. Raenef stared at them in disgust and freight. He was NOT going to wear that dress! Absolutely NOT!
Lucifer stared at Raenef with a puzzled look as well as an irritated one.
"I-I-I am n-not wearing th-th-that dress."
"Oh yes you are my sweet. Yes you are. But the fitting might be just a little loose..." He said as his eyes looked over at Raenef's chest. And with a puzzled look across his face, he saw Raenef's lack of... bust.
"Oh course it's going to be loose! I'm a guy!" He screamed at Lucifer. Not quite getting the disgusted look upon Lucifer's face which he had wished for.
"Does not matter. I need you to become stronger and rule over all the worlds. You will wear what I tell you to wear no matter what your gender is." He replied as he walked away and the pink moonlight shadows floated over with a sinister grin.
"STOP! NO! YOU CAN'T!" He screamed and squirmed, horrified of the confusion bestowed upon him.

Still the traveling trio stepped over dead trees and ran into monsters, fighting their way through to get to the side of the light. By each half mile they covered the amount of monsters in a fight began to wean. Slowly yet steadily they made their way to a giant wall which held up a massive gate, doubtfully holding the passageway to the domain of light.
"So... How do we get passed?" Chris asked as he stared up and the massive gate.
"Umm... Well there's supposed to be a guardian here but I don't see it..." Replied Cathrine.
"So do you think it's safe enough just to enter?" Eclipse asked cautiously, pondering about the entrance towards the place supposed to hold Erutis captive.
Only then suddenly a giant machine appeared, coming through the wall as if it was a magic portal
"Who dares come from the darkness and seeks to enter the light?!" It bellowed in a very deep tone.
"Ay, we do, oh large one." Cathrine replied. The machine titled it's large head in the direction of the trio.
"Thee so little and insignificant wish to travel in the Realm of Dreams and Light? Thee must surely be mistaken."
"Thy so modest, tis true we would like entrance to the Realm of Dreams and Light. Not mistaken, we are not. Shall we or shall we not enter?"
"No." It replied in a strong tone. It stood up straight and turned around to go back.
"Then what do we have to do to enter?!" Chris yelled at the massive beast , catching it's attention.
The immense machine turned around and faced Chris up close, almost knocking him over.
"Then ye so little must face me in battle to prove themselves worthy of such gifts upon the Realm of Dreams and Light can bestow upon thee." It answered gloat fully, thinking little of the group and their lack of "power".
"Then if it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get." Replied Eclipse, getting ready to attack the broad machine with elemental magic and spells with high energy force.
"If you wish I shall battle you fools." He mocked and prepared himself for battle.
Cathrine stood there with anger. NO one was going to make a mockery out of her... NO one in any world. She pulled out her bow and arrows and aimed for the machine.
"How DARE you mock me beast! Yer gonna be scraps when we get through with you!" She yelled and let go of the arrow that steadily held it's self in her hands. It hurled towards the machine and hit. A little bit of sparks flew and the arrow magically disappeared.
Chris got ready himself and nodded towards Eclipse. Together they summoned their magic and hurled it towards the machine.
"Holy Bolt!"
"Dark Strike!"
This might be too easy... Eclipse thought. All their hits had taken their full blow. After the smoke cleared a white, shining light burst from the smoke, taking them all by surprise. Hitting them with full force, they each fell to the ground wounded.
"That cheap... bastard." Cathrine grunted. She slowly got up and staggered to her feet. No way was she going to lose this fight. She got her bow and arrow ready to strike the machine again and fired at will. "Die damn it!" She yelled and shot him with her weapon.
Eclipse as well got up and held his arm which he injured in his fall. "That ungrateful beast... he will pay dearly for being in the way." He attacked the machine back with his trait of elemental magic and the machine burst out in a large flame.
"GAHHH!" It screamed, "YOU FOOL!" It ran towards them and started to blindly punch the ground in hope of hitting one of them.
"Quick! Move!" Cathrine shouted to Eclipse and Chris, even though Chris was still lying there on the ground. Eclipse ran towards Chris and picked him up, carrying him out of the area that the machine was blindly attacking.
"Hurry up Cathrine!" Eclipse shouted back, still holding on to the young cleric. She stayed there fighting though, attacking it with her bow and arrow. Only until it blindly punched her to the side wall, knocking her unconscious. "Cathrine!" Eclipse shouted. This was not good. If only he could find some spell that was strong enough to finish this thing off. But... apparently it looked like the machine was weak against elemental magic.
Well of course it would! It lives in a world with light and dark only, so there would rarely be elemental magic! Why couldn't I figure that out before?!
Eclipse held one hand up and summoned forth a large amount on electrical energy from the sky. In a huge ball of massive power he lunged it towards the unsuspecting machine. Then, with a huge blast and explosion, the machine blew up! Bolts and pieces of deranged metal and magic flew in many directions and placing themselves upon the ground. Eclipse stood there satisfied at what he had done.
Slowly Chris opened his eyes and saw what had happened.
"Whoah..." He said as he looked at the destroyed battlefield.
Eclipse turned around and glared at Chris.
"I guess I missed out on practically all of it." He said with a smirk.
"Yes you did. Now get up. Your going to have to carry Cathrine though."
"What?" He asked as he looked around for her, only to spot her body leaning against the wall. "Ouch... she seriously did a number on that wall."
"Heal her as much as you can. Then we're going inside."
"Right." Chris got up and walked over to Cathrine's side. He placed his hands just above her body and a white light emitted around her. Soon her cuts and bruises disappeared and she was fully healed. He picked her up and piggy backed her into the Realm of Dreams and Light. Eclipse followed shortly and they walked into the bright land of which dreams are fulfilled and light is all around them. Little did they know that since the gate had been destroyed, the dark creatures that they had fought before crept through one by one with sinister grins upon their repulsive faces.

Krayon was working on some of his realm's paper work, organizing the amount of creatures inside, when a servant burst through the doors.
"M'lord! I-I-I..." He started but was cut off by Lord Krayon.
"What gives you purpose to come barging in here like so?!" He yelled at the poor man.
"Th-th-the creatures of the dark! Somehow they got through and their attacking and eating up the dreams! They plan on to swallow your domain whole m'lord!" He said as he graveled at Krayon's feet.
This... This cannot be happening! We signed a contract to order peace between both the lands! How DARE they! Krayon thought as rage boiled up in his blood.
"Then tell all the creatures to prepare for battle. I'm going to talk with Lucifer about this." Lord Krayon said, making sure he spit out Lucifer's name. Quite deviant for that little bugger to have the name of the devil.
"Yes m'lord. Right away." His servant bowed again and spend off quickly, for he did not want to be the victim in Krayon's rage.
But Krayon otherwise went to the throne room in which Erutis still hanged there.
"Like a beautiful flower you are, my sweet. You still look as extravagant as ever." He said as he stepped up the platforms and lifted up her head. "I have to go and have a little 'chat' with Lucifer so I might be gone a while." He said as he leaned closer.
"I don't care where you go. Actually I'm quite glad th-" She was cut off to feel the gentle press of Lord Krayon's lips against hers.
What the hell?! She thought, eyes wide and in complete shock. Soon their lips parted and he smiled deviously.
"I'll be back." He said as he walked off again. He licked his lips on his way out. But he turned around and faced her once more. "Thanks for the pleasure love." And with that he left the room.
Ugh... I feel sick... Erutis thought to herself. Demon Lord Fancy-pants just KISSED her! She was soo furious yet she could not move. Her body felt like spaghetti. Just hanging there off the shackles. Her stomach turned and ached. She felt so dirty. Like a tramp. Felt so sick.
"I think I'm gonna hurl..." She said as she tilted her head down. But... her heart... it was broken. "It's gonna always be like this though..." She said, tears slowly filling up in her eyes. "...I can't do anything about it... otherwise I'll jeopardize the others..." her voice cracked as tears began to fall down her lightly tanned face. "And I can't let that happen... otherwise I won't be able to live with myself."
Little did she realize that her hero was so close to her, yet so far away.

Meanwhile with Chris, Eclipse, and Cathrine, soon they were trapped between a side of creatures only found in a child's imagination, and the devilish creatures they had fought before.
"Wh-what's going on?" Asked Chris, confused by this sudden appearance by both sides.
"It looks like their about to go in war."
"WAR?!" Chris yelled at Eclipse.
"And we're in the middle of it."
"Ya I could've figured that out! But... will they fight with us still between them?" Chris asked Eclipse, hoping for a merciful answer.
"Yes. They don't care what happens to us."
"Then what are we standing here for?! Lets get out of here!" And with that, both the sides began to charge forth to the center. Eclipse grabbed onto Cathrine and he and Chris began to run towards the light. Dodging arrows and magic spells as the two sides collided, Eclipse just stopped to ponder.
Why am I running? He asked himself.
"Hurry up Eclipse!" Chris shouted at him, dodging a sword flying to hit a shadow that was behind him.
"Why should I be running?" He said as he grabbed onto Chris' wrist and teleported over to the other end. But just they appeared a dark spell flew over and hit Eclipse's back, sending him to the ground, bleeding.
"Eclipse!"
"Just go on... I'll try and find a safe heaven for now." Eclipse replied and he got up slowly.
"But-"
"GO!" He commanded. His eyes shot fury at Chris for even trying to argue with him. Chris just ran off, not looking back at the tall man who only knew how he felt about Erutis. Just maybe, even a friend.
"... Fool." Eclipse spat out and picked Cathrine up again, hiding her in a sheltered place. With a long, painful sigh he stared back at the war that was undergoing. He knew, that both sides would cancel each other out. No side was going to win this pathetic war.

Chris ran up to the front of a large castle. Full of glory and light, it looked kinda like a shrine that was created for all the gods. But, alas he knew who's domain this was.
The Realm of Dreams... could no doubt belong to Krayon.
"He's gonna pay for doing whatever he did to Erutis! He's going to pay dearly..." He said as he ran inside. He was the only who could be Erutis' knight in shinning armor.

Elsewhere in the world of light and dark, word had traveled to Lucifer's castle in which he was preparing himself for the sacrifice. A sudden and harsh knock rapped at the door and immediately caught the Prince's attention.
"What is it that you want?" He commanded.
"My liege, the barrier to the light has been mysteriously destroyed and dark creatures of the forest has gathered their own army and are attacking the creatures of the light!" Came the voice from behind the door. Prince Lucifer walked hastily do the doors and swung them open, revealing a scrawny person with broken shackles and torn clothing.
"Is that true you blood-thirsty demon?" He said, ready to abuse the poor obliging demon. "I have known that you tend to lie. You don't want me to recall that time when I had to put you back in your place." Lucifer hissed.
"Oh no, m'lord! Even Lord Krayon of the Realm of Dreams and Light is here to see you!" He bowed even lower to Lucifer.
"Then get out of my way, fool!" He shouted and kicked the demon aside and marched down the hall. The demon made a shrill cry of pain and lied there on the floor.
As Lucifer advanced down the hall and down the stairs he pushed everyone out of his way and finally made it to the room the Lord Krayon had been waiting in. He barged in the door and stared at Krayon with a hateful glare.
"I thought we signed a peace contract that things would stay in balance." Lucifer spat out.
"Yes we did. I wonder what had happened to it. Makes a demon ponder because of a sudden attack that was NOT supposed to happen!" He practically screamed.
"Don't you DARE yell at me you traitor!" He yelled back as he summoned up some dark magic and hurled it towards Krayon.
"Fool!" Krayon spat back and hurled for his own magic. Meanwhile downstairs the pink moonlight shadows had dressed Raenef up and imprisoned him upon the wall which was decorated with black jewels and silver. It was a kind of rune magic he had never seen before. The symbols were so different compared to the ones he had read in Chris' book, and some of the symbols Eclipse had introduced to him. His eyes filled with sadness and tears filled his eyes once more. Tired of always being the weak one and tired of always getting picked on. But he couldn't do a thing.
This sort of thing always seems to happen to me. But... what if I won't be able to be saved this time? He asked himself as his eye swelled up with tears even more. I'm such an idiot. I can't even protect myself never mind others. I deserve to die. That way... That way I won't be so bothersome anymore to anyone. Tears began to fall down his face and fall onto the cold, hard floor. And I won't be so bothersome to Eclipse... He finally said to himself and he suddenly started to sob uncontrollably.
"Eclipse... I need you!" Raenef yelled as his tears streamed down his face and soaked the floor. "I'm such a fool. Without you I know I'm nothing. Nothing at all. Not a demon lord. Not a friend. I definitely... not a lover..."
