"" Speaking out loud.

'' Thoughts.

Oh and there will be a dream sequence, okay? Good.

'Dark…So dark…No one's here…Where am I? What is this place… Eclipse, where are you…I need you…' the voice was so small, yet it cried with attention.

'Eclipse, don't leave me, please don't…I am a failure, but don't leave me…You promised, Eclipse, you promised…Don't leave me…I'm so alone,' the voice continued, a sound of deep weeping and despair bouncing off the walls of the damned room.

'I'm sorry, Eclipse, I didn't mean to. Just, please don't leave me…It's so cold…Why is it so cold…I need you…Eclipse, please…"

The voice died off with every word, its exhaustion was clear.

'So cold…I feel so cold…So numb…Eclipse, am I dying…Eclipse! Where are you…Did you leave me again…But Eclipse, you promised…You promised…..'

Raenef awoke suddenly, as a cold gust of wind threatened his very body. He was still in the mist of the dream. He didn't want to wake up to reality, even though the dream was worse.

Raenef had been in the town for five hours, at least that is what it felt like, and he was chilled to the bone.

"Eclipse…" He whispered softly, his eyes watering around the corners, as the dream popped up in his mind.

Raenef buried his head in his arms, that were resting on top of his bent knees, only a small sniff could be heard. His shoulders shook silently, as the tears flowed freely down his cheeks.

'Why am I crying…' he thought to himself, as he lifted his head to the dawn-colored sky.

The broken houses that lay in front of him, clearly told him that there was no one here to comfort or help him, so he left them alone. He stayed by an old tree, bare of leaves and skinnier than him, with his bag protectively beside him.

'I should have never left,' he thought to himself, as he curled into a tighter ball, his cloak was already wrapped tightly around his form.

"Eclipse, I'm a failure…"

The repeated words from his dream sent a cold chill, that was colder than the wind, down his back. He hugged his knees to his chest, and rested his chin on top of one of his bent knee caps.

The wind ruffled his silky, blonde hair and caused a few strands to fall into the line of his vision. Ignoring them, he looked out into the land in front him, his eyes unfocused with thought.

'That dream…I have never felt that depressed in my life…' his gazed fell to the ground, as a wave of sadness fell over him.

He was still lost in thought, as something bumped into his lower back, sending him into a panic frenzy.

"What the hell was that!"

He looked down at the ground right as a little mouse ran past him in a frightened furry. Raenef let out the small breath he didn't know he had held, as he watched it scurry down the barren road. His cheeks were still pink with embarrassment, as he sat back down beside his bag.

"Whoever heard of a Demon Lord being scared of a mouse," he asked the bag, hugging it to his chest for comfort.

"Whoever heard of a person talking to a bag?"

Raenef jumped again, this time his heart raced with terror at the second voice being heard.

"Who…Who is there?"

He called out to the second voice, trying to mask his fright.

A boy, about the same age as Raenef, stepped out from behind a tall bush that resided a few feet from the tree. His clothes were a bit raggedy, but all together they were fairly well-kept.

"I think I should be asking you, who you are," the boy said to Rae, stepping a bit closer.

Raenef stood up straight and coughed a bit, before saying, "I am Demon Lord Raenef the fifth and how dare you talk to me in that tone, vermin!"

The boy stood there, his face blank, before he doubled over in laughter, clutching his stomach with thin arms.

"Ha. A demon lord, eh? Hahahaha," the boy stood up, wiping the tears off of the corner of his eyes.

Raenef pouted, not liking this reaction at all, and let his head droop.

"Oh, man. I'm sorry. It is just that was the funniest thing I have ever seen," the boy said, as he imitated Rae's actions.

Raenef blushed with embarrassment, his shoulders hunching up as if to fend off cold winds. The boy saw this, and came up to him, patting Rae on the back, "It's okay, I didn't mean to upset you or anything."

Raenef looked up at the boy, his eyes big and watery, with his lower lip stuck out. The boy looked at this, and of course reacted the same way any person would react to it. Enveloping Rae in a small hug, the boy patted him on his back again.

"Seriously, I didn't mean to. I'm sorry."

Rae straightened up and tried to look serious, with some of his blonde tendrils covering one eye, "How dare you….Oh, I give up…Who am I kidding…"

The boy smiled, and ruffled up Rae's hair some more, then stepped back, "So, are you really a demon lord?"

Raenef nodded his head, the puppy look back on his face again, "I'm lost…"

The boy frowned, then put an arm around Rae's shoulders and started walking, "If you are lost, can't you just teleport yourself out of here?"

Raenef pouted, his eyes watering again, and pulled on his little ponytail, hugging it sort of, "Noooo…"

Raenef whispered, "Go!" disappearing then reappearing, a second later, a foot from the ground. He fell on his feet, his face still like an adorable, sad puppy, "See?"

The boy frowned some more, and his eyes turned a bit hazed with thought, "Well, lets talk a bit more, maybe I can point you in the direction where you need to go. So, what's your name?"

Eclipse sighed, as he looked out at the open road, his black cloak billowing in the wind. His eyes were glazed over in thought, as a few black tendrils fell out from underneath the hood of the cloak, as if they were dancing with the breeze.

"You have truly left me, haven't you Raenef?"

Eclipse looked up at the newly turned blue sky, as he contemplated on his options.

"I should try to find you anyway. Who knows you could have lost your memory again…"

He sighed once again, his gaze dropping to the clear path ahead of him. He just stood there, thinking of Raenef and every embarrassing moment that came his way. He smiled at all the sweet memories and grimaced at all the bad ones, but no matter what he always ended up with that single feeling. The feeling that causes his stomach to flutter and his heart to pound, and sometimes it is so strong it gave him headaches.

"Raenef…Please, only be lost. I couldn't handle the thought that you don't need me anymore…"

Eclipse let his head droop, as depressing scenes popped into his mind, negative situations that he would never want to happen to Rae.

Eclipse thought about Raenef as much as possible, staying focused on Raenef's face that was permanently in his mind, and then whispered a soft, "Go!"

His body felt the familiar pulling sensation, as he disappeared from the Raenef castle, his thoughts still on Rae's beautiful face.

Eclipse appeared, landing on his feet, and looked about his surroundings. Barren. There was nothing in sight for ten miles in each direction. Eclipse was puzzled by this, because he should have appeared exactly where Raenef would be.

"Raenef…"

He started to walk north, at least he thought it was north, as if something pulled him in that direction. His cloak blew gently in the wind behind him, as he kept walking, his thoughts still on Raenef.

"I'll find you Raenef. Even if it means starting a war. I will find you..."
