AN: Wow two bloody reviews for my longest chapter yet. Also i have hit the 20,000 mark! Wo0t!
purplepeopleeater:LOL! Poor you! I am gay but the only one and I don't want anyone to "change sides" so I will try to do a nonconverting (that even a word?) story! Lol. Enjoy the next chapter! I will be adding Chris later in the story, for word of wisdom and possible punching bag. He will be straight—sorta because the only person he will be in love with is himself.
Caecuslupa:Cool Pen name! Glade to know I made your dream real (in my fanfic any way!)
Chapter 7 The Whole Truth
Erutis sat on her front porch as she hummed the familiar tune of 'Join Me in Death'. Today was the first day of summer. She was cleaning her 4 swords getting ready for the final move. It was to be decided that most of her stuff would be going to the Manor. It was the first home that Raenef and Eclipse owned. It also was the one with the most land for Ville to run around in with her off to school.
Because today was the first day of summer she also came to her decision of to either accept the title of being Raenef's heir or denying the title.
Erutis started with her newest sword that she had gotten from Krayon. Erutis had been talking to him mostly online. She was showing him a sword that she saw on ebay and was thinking about getting it. She showed him the link and asked him his opinion. He said someone had already bought it. Sure enough it had and it was a one of a kind. Then one week later she went to get the mail and found a large long package. She raced in to open it and sure enough it was the exact sword! It also had a note, which read:
For my knight in shining armor.
Love, Krayon.
The more that she talked to him the more she started if this was too good to be true. She only thought that because he never did ask her to be his girlfriend.
She stilled hummed the song and polished her sword. Many people passed with the late morning light showing through the green leaves. The morning breeze shown and rustled the trees.
Most of her things were already in her new room at the Manor. She actually had a whole section of the Manor the entire west wing. Which also happen to be the farthest away from Raenef and Eclipse's room—thankfully. She had been to the Manor only once before when they were bring most of the furniture and larger items to make sure that they were put into the places of her liking.
Erutis' new room was HUGE! It was completely marble floor with a huge four- post bed. The theme of the room was knights of the Korean times. It had several large sword racks with large swords. There was this one in a glass case. Raenef had asked her never to take it out. She couldn't complain she had a lot of other swords that she could use.
She saw a large SUV belonging to none other her godfathers.
"Hello Erutis I trust that you are well. Get your swords together we will be leaving to the stable soon." Eclipse said while walking up to Erutis.
"Okay! I feel sorry for Genro and Ville. They both will miss each other so much. The least I could do was give the barn and land to Nebiki so she still has a place for Genro." Erutis sighed.
"That was nice to do for her, have you said good bye to her?" Raenef said in sparkle mode.
"Yeah, she said that she would keep in touch, I could only hope." Erutis said gathering her swords being extra careful with the one that Krayon had given her.
"Erutis where did you get that sword? I don't remember you having that one in your collection." Raenef said while taking it from Erutis and inspecting it.
"Oh Krayon got it for me." Erutis said with a blush taking it back from Raenef.
"Oh? Are you two courting?" Raenef asked with great suspicion.
"RAE! No! We aren't going out. We are just friends nothing more." 'For now.' Erutis said mentally.
"Okay, okay. I just want to know about your life. You know that you shouldn't be courting at your age! You are only sixteen you have plenty of time of making Eclipse and I grandfathers. Slow down and take your time. However I must say that Krayon is a good catch." Raenef continued just to watch his goddaughter blush twenty shades of red.
"Whatever." She mumbled as she went into the house to get all of her swords in the scabbards.
Eclipse came out giving Raenef an questioning look.
"I think that Krayon is trying to court Erutis." Raenef said with a serious face.
"Are you sure? The sooner we meet with Meruhesae the better. We need to find out what happened with Erutis and Krayon! A demon lord does not just fall to a sword master's sword, there must have been more to this than what it seems." Eclipse pondered.
"I know Eclipse we have been over this so much but every theory comes up more less likely then the one before it. Because it could have only happened if Krayon let his guard down and I am not sure why he would have." Raenef exclaimed going over all the information they found out about it.
"Well we will see when we talk to Meruhesae." Eclipse said stressing the word 'we' not wanting to be left with that crazed Lady Demon all alone.
"Yes. Well lets go and help Erutis." Raenef said turning into the house with Eclipse following him in.
After the final bags were locked in the back of the SUV the three people went to get Ville in to the trailer that was to be driven by a local demon that owned Raenef big time.
The trip to the airport was quite. Raenef and Eclipse talked telepathically about getting a meeting with Meruhesae and among other things. Erutis looked a through the tinted window and daydreaming about Krayon.
They got to the airport and got on the private jet. "This is the way to travel!" Erutis said taking a chair next to Raenef and Eclipse. "We also need to talk. I think it is time to let you know." Erutis said.
"And what would that be Erutis?" Raenef asked.
"About me being your heir. I will take the title." Erutis said with a smile to both of her Godfathers.
"Oh! Erutis! I am so proud! I need to get the introduction ceremony ready and oh I need to invite the other Lords!" Raenef said immediately pulling out his cell phone.
"Erutis have you thought this all the way thought? You do realize that there will a ceremony that you change your species so say. It is not something that you should do just because of a whim. Or a boy" Eclipse said with his wisdom showing through.
"Eclipse, no I am not doing this because of a whim or because of Krayon. Don't think I don't see you and Raenef talking all the time behind my back on how much you don't want me to go out with him, which I still don't understand. What do you have against him? He is really nice and has done nothing bad to me." Erutis asked while keeping her patience.
"I just wanted to make sure that you weren't doing it just so that you could possibly be closer to your crush. I have no issue with you and Krayon hanging out but I do have an issue right now but may change very soon." Eclipse said bring a look that showed that was the end of their talk.
"Okay I understand sir." Erutis said. "I am going to the back now." She got up and started to move to the back with a manga and a CD player in hand.
A faint sound of music could be heard and also the occasional flip rustle of paper for the rest of the flight. The plane soon landed near where the Manor was. All of the servants rushed out. What came to Erutis' surprise was Mej and Palu coming out to greet the plane as well.
Erutis quickly got out of the plane after Raenef got out and rushed to them.
"Mej! Palu! What are you two doing here?" Erutis asked.
"We were told to come here and chill for the summer, and also tutor you in a few classes so you won't be behind with the others in class." Mej said with a smile holding a textbook.
"Also we are excepted to play bodyguard and teach you basic manners of a ward." Palu added.
"I am not going to be a ward though—"Erutis trailed off.
"You mean that you are to become the heir?" Mej asked incredulously.
"Yes. I though a long time about it for the past five months and decided that it was my place to become the heir and Raenef certainly would have not asked me if I was not the right one. Right?" She asked with a smile.
"Sure thing milady. Lets get you inside. The others will get your stuff and take it to your room. You would not believe what rooms we have! They are also in the west wing. Our room is really close to you!" Mej said happily.
"Yeah we could have sleepovers!" Giggled Palu with a little school girl jumb of excitement.
"Okay, we can tell stories and you can catch me up on history during that time." Erutis said with a smile.
She had only been there for ten minutes but already felt very much at home. The castle held such a memory that she felt like she should have known about but couldn't remember it completely.
She made a turn around the bend that she remembered it led to her bedroom and the west ring. She started walking towards it, she turned to see that Palu and Mej were staring after her with their mouths opened and eyes were like deer in the headlights.
"What" Erutis asked really confused.
"How did you know the new direction to the west wing?" Pale said after a few seconds of the two replaying of what they just saw in their mind.
"Watta do ya mean new direction?" Erutis asked getting even more confused.
"The Manor changes every Quarter moon! That was yesterday!" Mej said in complete awe.
"I guess its just a one time thing! Besides don't you ever just guess where everything is when the Manor changes?" Erutis asked to make sure that she wasn't completely crazy.
"No because after a change in the Manor there is a map posted in the main hall. That's how we always know." Mej explained.
"There has to be something that is going on! "Erutis shouted. She ran to the other side where Raenef and Eclipse were in the demon lord's personal study.
"Could you please tell me what the hell is happening? Why does it seem that this place is so familiar? Almost like, like I have been here before! If there is something that you can tell me please! I need to know." Erutis asked huffing and puffing with eyes ablaze.
"Erutis, we aren't permitted by the elders to tell you. We could have you a meeting with the eldest of the council her name is Meruhesae and she is a seer. We could have a meeting with her. We already need her to answer a few questions to ask. We could even get this done before the Ceremony, if it is to your approval of course." Raenef said while looking at Eclipse.
"That would be for the best." Erutis said as she listen to Raenef's explanation.
"You should now go to Mej and Palu, they are waiting outside for you." Eclipse said with his arms crossed and a small smile spread across his face.
"Okay I will see you two at dinner then." Erutis said leaving the door and closed it with a click.
Raenef looked to Eclipse. "She knows something is happening, as soon as she finds out she might go and try and destroy the Manor. I thought it was to be best if we had her meet with Meruhesae before she became a half-demon. That way she can't destroy it with her new powers that she doesn't know how to control. Also I think it is time to go to the council before the ceremony and see if she can have the cloak and sword. If not the back lash will be much more severe." Raenef said to Eclipse.
"I would have to agree. Lets get to Meruhesae and get this over with. The sooner the better." Eclipse said.
"Right! Go!" Raenef said and teleported.
"Go." Eclipse said joining him.
"Hello Raenef and Eclipse. Where is the soon to be heir?" Meruhesae asked smiling through her fan.
"She is at the manor, but you would know that and you also know of our visit and requests." Eclipse said with aggravation.
"Bring her to me tomorrow at sunset. I will speak to the council about seeing if you can give her the cloak. If I hear anything I will let you know. Is that all that you wanted?" Meruhesae asked knowing the answer.
"Yes thank you for you time. Go." Raenef said and disappeared.
"Eclipse, bring me the cloak tomorrow before you bring Erutis I see the councils approval." Meruhesae said trying to stall the demon.
"Thank you, Go." With that Eclipse disappeared.
"FUCK! Not even a little kiss!" Meruhesae pouted. Even after so long she still wanted the demon named Eclipse. "Go." And she disappeared to speak with the council of Elders.
Erutis' room
"Looks like Raenef and Eclipse added me a phone line and a new computer!" Erutis said to herself after two hour cram session with Mej and Palu. Mainly worked on the history. That was all that they could teach because she had not yet received her dark magic from Raenef. She was actually having a good time and making good progress when Mej wanted to stop for the day. They were working on the history of the demon lord Elresea and his involvement in the Hangman movement. It was one hundred fifty years after the hangman war.
Erutis logged on the internet and started to check her email and saw an email from Krayon. She clicked on it:
Erutis, I was going to stop by your house today for a visit but found it empty. Go anywhere special? The "Lord" said that he also heard that there will be the heir acceptance ceremony. Congratulations.
Krayon
Erutis read his letter and was confused. He was going to visit her today, which was great! Also knew about the ceremony, which was fine but the thing that bugged her was that, how he ended it. He just signed his name he usually wrote love Krayon or something like that. What the hell made him have a change of heart? She then felt something wet fall down her face and relized that she was crying.
She heard knocking at her door, she quickly rubbed away the tears and gave permission for who ever wanted to enter.
It was Mej. He came over to her with a bewildered look on his face. "Erutis what is it? Are you okay?" he asked with much worry for her he had yet to see her cry.
"I'm fine." She said while forcing a fake smile that Mej was not buying. "Really I am all aces." Erutis said while still forcing a smile for Mej.
"Okay now will you please tell me what is really going on?" He asked with a small smile.
"It is nothing really only a letter from Krayon he just didn't end the email like he usually does so I think that possibly he doesn't have the same feelings anymore." Erutis said showing Mej the email.
"Wow. I have no clue at all why he did that maybe he just wrote it without thinking. I mean it was the first time right sweetie?" Mej asked in a mothering voice.
"Yeah it is but still. I can't help but think that possibly it means something." Erutis said looking at the screen with many emotions going through her mind.
"Well, I came in here to get you for dinner! They made a huge dinner for your arrival!" Mej said smiling changing the subject. "Come on! Everyone is waiting for us!" Mej said pulling Erutis by her hand getting her away from the Computer.
Dinner was wonderful! The dishes were so good! With a huge tomato theme just for her however, Raenef had a few other things made just for him with out tomatoes. He explained the story of during his training death drill and the tomato. Everyone laughed at it but Raenef still didn't eat anything with tomatoes in it.
"Erutis, we have a meeting with Meruhesae tomorrow so make sure that you will be ready. We are to meet her at sunset, her time that will be around noon ours. So make sure that you are ready for it. She does not like to be kept waiting." Raenef said.
"Okay I will be ready." Erutis said back to him taking a bite out of a raw tomato.
Morning
Erutis woke up around ten in the morning, she couldn't help but still wonder back to Krayon's email. She started to get ready. Taking a long shower in her personal bathroom with green tile and a sea green wall tile. She got dressed wearing some black cargo pants and a white shirt. It was nearly 11:30 when she finally was completely ready. She walked to the kitchen wanting to snatch maybe a few sandwiches or something for her first meal.
"Hello? Anyone in here?" Erutis asked looking around for a fridge to raid.
"Yes?" A young girl maybe thirteen at the oldest with short blond hair.
"Could I get something to eat?" Erutis asked the young girl.
"Oh! Yes Miss Erutis!" The young girl said scampering away to get something ready. 2 minutes went by and the girl came back with a portion of fried rice. "Here you go! It is my specialty." She said handing Erutis a pair of chopsticks along with the bowl.
"Thanks." Erutis looked at the rice it looked good. She tried a bit and it tasted REALLY good. "Yum! This is really good! What is your name?" She asked the girl between bites.
"How rude of me! I am Maureen Hyong! The kitchen wench." She said with a small bow.
"Cool name, Maureen what does that name mean sounds familiar." Erutis asked starting some small talk.
"Well it had several meanings it can mean bitterly wanted or Sea maiden. I was named after my great-great grandmother who worked in this very kitchen." Maureen said looking around the kitchen in deep affection.
"That's cool!" Erutis looked at the clock and it read 11:55. "SHIT! I gotta get outta here! I see you later Maureen! Very god rice by the way!" Erutis shouted as she raced out of the kitchen and to the study.
"Sorry! I had a late start!" Erutis said only finding Raenef in the study.
"Oh Erutis okay then lets get going." Raenef came up to Erutis held to her arm and mumbled go and she found herself in a completely different surrounding.
"Erutis" Raenef said turning to her. "Eclipse and I will be leaving you alone with Meruhesae so be on your best behavior and ask all of your questions that you need to ask."
"Okay Raenef." Erutis said with a solemn nod.
"Take care, Go" Raenef disappeared.
"Hello? Is Meruhesae here?" Erutis said walking around a large room with a lot of cloth and stuff just floating around.
"Oh the young Erutis! Come here." Came an enchanting voice.
A woman came in view. She was stunning! She had a long black hair and a breath-taking gown.
"Are you Meruhesae?" Erutis asked in wonder, feeling like she had seen this women before.
"Correct! Very good Heir to Raenef but I am sure that is not what you wanted to come and ask me." She said in a mysterious smile. "I wish to know why everything that is at Raenef's castle is so familiar and I already seem to know all the secrets, like knowing the change in halls every quarter moon." Erutis said bluntly.
"Because you had lived there at one point in your life, you also were killed there at the same time in your past life." This strange woman said.
"So you mean to tell me that I once was a demon in my past life?" Erutis asked baffled.
"You don't have to be of demon heritage to live with a demon lord. You knew Raenef in your past life and he was the one that killed you. He thought you were there to kill him and you thought that he was a new henchman of Raenef." She explained.
"This still doesn't make any sense. What about Master Krayon? Did I know him?" Erutis asked.
"Yes you did, in fact it was a one sided love." Meruhesae said with smile already knowing that the two souls had already crossed paths and fate had other plans for them. "I think this will help if you wore this." Meruhesae said producing the same orange cloak the Raenef told her she should not wear.
"I can't wear that! I remember Raenef telling me that I should stay away from that!" Erutis said looking at the cloak with fear in her eyes.
"No he didn't want you to wear it because it was the key to you remembering your past life and he had to get permission from the Elder Council first. He has it with full support now, you can wear it and remember all that happened." She said bring the cloak closer to Erutis. "Go ahead, it will help explaining everything."
Erutis slowly took the cloak and placed it over her shoulders and she found darkness. She then found herself in yet another realm. "Where the hell am I?" She mumbled looking around at her surroundings.
"You are to meet me." Came a voice. Erutis turned around to find a girl that looked just like her except she wore a long green cape and holding a sword.
"Who- who are you?" Erutis asked in incredulity.
"You know very well who I am! I am you in your past life! I am here to give you back your memories." Her copy said holding a ball of light. "Take this and you will know your memories. Also thank Krayon next time you see him." The old Erutis said with a smile. She began to disappear and the ball of light melted into the young Erutis.
She felt warm, very warm. Also a feminine voice called out to her, "Erutis, Erutis! Wake up!"
Erutis' eyes fluttered open she saw Meruhesae standing over her with nodding head and a full smile.
Tears came to Erutis' eyes. "I killed him! I killed Krayon!"
"Yes you did but, Krayon let you kill him so you could live a good life in that day of age. You also repaid him by letting him court you in this life. So don't feel bad about it for one more second." Meruhesae said to comfort Erutis.
"Is there anything else I should know? About the future?" Erutis asked through tearful eyes.
"Yes, there will much trouble for you and Krayon trying to get together. If you give up and let tradition take it course then you will forever remain without him. It is both of your missions in life to change this. Put your work and worth in what you feel should be accomplished and you will live a full live. Take heed of what I say. Also make sure Raenef and Eclipse know of you promise to Krayon or they might try and get in the way without even knowing it. Here they come."
"Meruhesae, is everything done?" Eclipse asked.
"Yes and she is ready to become the heir. It is tomorrow correct?" Meruhesae asked just to annoy Eclipse.
"Meruhesae you are silly!" Raenef said popping from the back of Eclipse. "You know all. Thank you for your time. We will take our leave. Go." And the trio disappeared.
"Darn! Still no kiss from Eclipse!" Meruhesae said crossing her arms in a pout.

Chapter 7 The Whole Truth
Erutis sat on her front porch as she hummed the familiar tune of 'Join Me in Death'. Today was the first day of summer. She was cleaning her 4 swords getting ready for the final move.

"Also we are excepted to play bodyguard and teach you basic manners of a ward." Palu added.
"I am not going to be a ward though—"Erutis trailed off.
"You mean that you are to become the heir?" Mej asked incredulously.
"Yes. I though a long time about it for the past five months and decided that it was my place to become the heir and Raenef certainly would have not asked me if I was not the right one. Right?" She asked with a smile.

"Could you please tell me what the hell is happening? Why does it seem that this place is so familiar? Almost like, like I have been here before! If there is something that you can tell me please! I need to know." Erutis asked huffing and puffing with eyes ablaze.
"Erutis, we aren't permitted by the elders to tell you. We could have you a meeting with the eldest of the council her name is Meruhesae and she is a seer. We could have a meeting with her. We already need her to answer a few questions to ask. We could even get this done before the Ceremony, if it is to your approval of course." Raenef said while looking at Eclipse.
"That would be for the best." Erutis said as she listen to Raenef's explanation.
"You should now go to Mej and Palu, they are waiting outside for you." Eclipse said with his arms crossed and a small smile spread across his face.
"Okay I will see you two at dinner then." Erutis said leaving the door and closed it with a click.
Raenef looked to Eclipse. "She knows something is happening, as soon as she finds out she might go and try and destroy the Manor. I thought it was to be best if we had her meet with Meruhesae before she became a half-demon. That way she can't destroy it with her new powers that she doesn't know how to control. Also I think it is time to go to the council before the ceremony and see if she can have the cloak and sword. If not the back lash will be much more severe." Raenef said to Eclipse.
"I would have to agree. Lets get to Meruhesae and get this over with. The sooner the better." Eclipse said.
"Right! Go!" Raenef said and teleported.
"Go." Eclipse said joining him.
"Hello Raenef and Eclipse. Where is the soon to be heir?" Meruhesae asked smiling through her fan.
"She is at the manor, but you would know that and you also know of our visit and requests." Eclipse said with aggravation.
"Bring her to me tomorrow at sunset. I will speak to the council about seeing if you can give her the cloak. If I hear anything I will let you know. Is that all that you wanted?" Meruhesae asked knowing the answer.
"Yes thank you for you time. Go." Raenef said and disappeared.
"Eclipse, bring me the cloak tomorrow before you bring Erutis I see the councils approval." Meruhesae said trying to stall the demon.
"Thank you, Go." With that Eclipse disappeared.
"FUCK! Not even a little kiss!" Meruhesae pouted. Even after so long she still wanted the demon named Eclipse. "Go." And she disappeared to speak with the council of Elders.
Erutis' room
"Looks like Raenef and Eclipse added me a phone line and a new computer!" Erutis said to herself after two hour cram session with Mej and Palu. Mainly worked on the history. That was all that they could teach because she had not yet received her dark magic from Raenef. She was actually having a good time and making good progress when Mej wanted to stop for the day. They were working on the history of the demon lord Elresea and his involvement in the Hangman movement. It was one hundred fifty years after the hangman war.
Erutis logged on the internet and started to check her email and saw an email from Krayon. She clicked on it:
Erutis, I was going to stop by your house today for a visit but found it empty. Go anywhere special? The "Lord" said that he also heard that there will be the heir acceptance ceremony. Congratulations.
Krayon
Erutis read his letter and was confused. He was going to visit her today, which was great! Also knew about the ceremony, which was fine but the thing that bugged her was that, how he ended it. He just signed his name he usually wrote love Krayon or something like that. What the hell made him have a change of heart? She then felt something wet fall down her face and relized that she was crying.
She heard knocking at her door, she quickly rubbed away the tears and gave permission for who ever wanted to enter.
It was Mej. He came over to her with a bewildered look on his face. "Erutis what is it? Are you okay?" he asked with much worry for her he had yet to see her cry.
"I'm fine." She said while forcing a fake smile that Mej was not buying. "Really I am all aces." Erutis said while still forcing a smile for Mej.
"Okay now will you please tell me what is really going on?" He asked with a small smile.
"It is nothing really only a letter from Krayon he just didn't end the email like he usually does so I think that possibly he doesn't have the same feelings anymore." Erutis said showing Mej the email.
"Wow. I have no clue at all why he did that maybe he just wrote it without thinking. I mean it was the first time right sweetie?" Mej asked in a mothering voice.
"Yeah it is but still. I can't help but think that possibly it means something." Erutis said looking at the screen with many emotions going through her mind.
"Well, I came in here to get you for dinner! They made a huge dinner for your arrival!" Mej said smiling changing the subject. "Come on! Everyone is waiting for us!" Mej said pulling Erutis by her hand getting her away from the Computer.
Dinner was wonderful! The dishes were so good! With a huge tomato theme just for her however, Raenef had a few other things made just for him with out tomatoes. He explained the story of during his training death drill and the tomato. Everyone laughed at it but Raenef still didn't eat anything with tomatoes in it.
"Erutis, we have a meeting with Meruhesae tomorrow so make sure that you will be ready. We are to meet her at sunset, her time that will be around noon ours. So make sure that you are ready for it. She does not like to be kept waiting." Raenef said.
"Okay I will be ready." Erutis said back to him taking a bite out of a raw tomato.
Morning
Erutis woke up around ten in the morning, she couldn't help but still wonder back to Krayon's email. She started to get ready. Taking a long shower in her personal bathroom with green tile and a sea green wall tile. She got dressed wearing some black cargo pants and a white shirt. It was nearly 11:30 when she finally was completely ready. She walked to the kitchen wanting to snatch maybe a few sandwiches or something for her first meal.
"Hello? Anyone in here?" Erutis asked looking around for a fridge to raid.
"Yes?" A young girl maybe thirteen at the oldest with short blond hair.
"Could I get something to eat?" Erutis asked the young girl.
"Oh! Yes Miss Erutis!" The young girl said scampering away to get something ready. 2 minutes went by and the girl came back with a portion of fried rice. "Here you go! It is my specialty." She said handing Erutis a pair of chopsticks along with the bowl.
"Thanks." Erutis looked at the rice it looked good. She tried a bit and it tasted REALLY good. "Yum! This is really good! What is your name?" She asked the girl between bites.
"How rude of me! I am Maureen Hyong! The kitchen wench." She said with a small bow.
"Cool name, Maureen what does that name mean sounds familiar." Erutis asked starting some small talk.
"Well it had several meanings it can mean bitterly wanted or Sea maiden. I was named after my great-great grandmother who worked in this very kitchen." Maureen said looking around the kitchen in deep affection.
"That's cool!" Erutis looked at the clock and it read 11:55. "SHIT! I gotta get outta here! I see you later Maureen! Very god rice by the way!" Erutis shouted as she raced out of the kitchen and to the study.
"Sorry! I had a late start!" Erutis said only finding Raenef in the study.
"Oh Erutis okay then lets get going." Raenef came up to Erutis held to her arm and mumbled go and she found herself in a completely different surrounding.
"Erutis" Raenef said turning to her. "Eclipse and I will be leaving you alone with Meruhesae so be on your best behavior and ask all of your questions that you need to ask."
"Okay Raenef." Erutis said with a solemn nod.
"Take care, Go" Raenef disappeared.
"Hello? Is Meruhesae here?" Erutis said walking around a large room with a lot of cloth and stuff just floating around.
"Oh the young Erutis! Come here." Came an enchanting voice.
A woman came in view. She was stunning! She had a long black hair and a breath-taking gown.
"Are you Meruhesae?" Erutis asked in wonder, feeling like she had seen this women before.
"Correct! Very good Heir to Raenef but I am sure that is not what you wanted to come and ask me." She said in a mysterious smile. "I wish to know why everything that is at Raenef's castle is so familiar and I already seem to know all the secrets, like knowing the change in halls every quarter moon." Erutis said bluntly.
"Because you had lived there at one point in your life, you also were killed there at the same time in your past life." This strange woman said.
"So you mean to tell me that I once was a demon in my past life?" Erutis asked baffled.
"You don't have to be of demon heritage to live with a demon lord. You knew Raenef in your past life and he was the one that killed you. He thought you were there to kill him and you thought that he was a new henchman of Raenef." She explained.
"This still doesn't make any sense. What about Master Krayon? Did I know him?" Erutis asked.
"Yes you did, in fact it was a one sided love." Meruhesae said with smile already knowing that the two souls had already crossed paths and fate had other plans for them. "I think this will help if you wore this." Meruhesae said producing the same orange cloak the Raenef told her she should not wear.
"I can't wear that! I remember Raenef telling me that I should stay away from that!" Erutis said looking at the cloak with fear in her eyes.
"No he didn't want you to wear it because it was the key to you remembering your past life and he had to get permission from the Elder Council first. He has it with full support now, you can wear it and remember all that happened." She said bring the cloak closer to Erutis. "Go ahead, it will help explaining everything."
Erutis slowly took the cloak and placed it over her shoulders and she found darkness. She then found herself in yet another realm. "Where the hell am I?" She mumbled looking around at her surroundings.
"You are to meet me." Came a voice. Erutis turned around to find a girl that looked just like her except she wore a long green cape and holding a sword.
"Who- who are you?" Erutis asked in incredulity.
"You know very well who I am! I am you in your past life! I am here to give you back your memories." Her copy said holding a ball of light. "Take this and you will know your memories. Also thank Krayon next time you see him." The old Erutis said with a smile. She began to disappear and the ball of light melted into the young Erutis.
She felt warm, very warm. Also a feminine voice called out to her, "Erutis, Erutis! Wake up!"
Erutis' eyes fluttered open she saw Meruhesae standing over her with nodding head and a full smile.
Tears came to Erutis' eyes. "I killed him! I killed Krayon!"
"Yes you did but, Krayon let you kill him so you could live a good life in that day of age. You also repaid him by letting him court you in this life. So don't feel bad about it for one more second." Meruhesae said to comfort Erutis.
"Is there anything else I should know? About the future?" Erutis asked through tearful eyes.
"Yes, there will much trouble for you and Krayon trying to get together. If you give up and let tradition take it course then you will forever remain without him. It is both of your missions in life to change this. Put your work and worth in what you feel should be accomplished and you will live a full live. Take heed of what I say. Also make sure Raenef and Eclipse know of you promise to Krayon or they might try and get in the way without even knowing it. Here they come."
"Meruhesae, is everything done?" Eclipse asked.
"Yes and she is ready to become the heir. It is tomorrow correct?" Meruhesae asked just to annoy Eclipse.
"Meruhesae you are silly!" Raenef said popping from the back of Eclipse. "You know all. Thank you for your time. We will take our leave. Go." And the trio disappeared.
"Darn! Still no kiss from Eclipse!" Meruhesae said crossing her arms in a pout.
