Sycocat: Aww -glomps- such a sweety.
Ch. 5: Old Friendships
About a week later, Chris found himself on the way to Raenef's with a large bag over his shoulder.
He walked toward Castle Raenef.
He was thinking the same thought that had crossed his mind many times since his departure: What
am I going to do when I get there?
Consequently, Erutis was thinking the same thing.
Her bag was smaller than Chris'.
All she'd brought were a change of clothes and a few other things vital for survival.
She'd left so fast to get away from Krayon that she didn't have much time to pack.
She also carried her trusty sword which rested on her shoulder as she walked along.
Both were too absorbed in their own thoughts to realize each other.
They crashed into each other and fell down.
"Hey watch where you're goingཀ" Erutis exclaimed, rubbing her sore butt.
"You watch itཀ" Chris retorted.
Erutis stood.
"Chris?"
She extended a hand, helping him up.
"What are you doing here?" she asked, surprised and happy at the same time.
"Erutis wow, how have you been?" he asked in the same way.
"You haven't forgotten me, have you?" he ask a little bit quieter.
She gave him a hug.
"Of course I haven't."
Still embracing, they looked at each other.
They quickly let go and stepped back, blushing furiously.
"Uh...aren't we here for a reason?" Chris asked.
"Yeah, let's go inside."
—
The two demons were having a lesson in the library.
Eclipse suddenly stopped talking and put down the text that he'd been using.
"What is it Eclipse?"
"I sense someone with great power."
"Really? I'll go see...Go."
And with that Raenef was gone before Eclipse could say another word.
—
Chris and Erutis walked up to the door.
Before either of them could open it, Raenef did.
"Raenefཀ" Erutis said happily.
"Erutis, Chrisཀ What are you doing here? I've missed you guysཀ"
He hugged them both.
"Rae-Raenefཀ We can't breatheཀ" Chris exclaimed.
"Oh sorry."
He let them go.
"You've gotten a lot stronger since we left. Wow how long has it been?" Erutis said.
"One year, seven months, nineteen days, and forty two minutes." Chris said.
"Have you been counting?"Erutis asked.
"No."
"How did you know we were here?" Chris asked, changing the subject.
"Huh?"
The blonde looked confused.
"Oh...I didn't, Eclipse said that there was someone here that had a lot of power. Oh yeah, I was
supposed to check about that."
He looked around.
"Hmm, I don't see anyone, I guess they left."
"Thanks." Erutis said.
"It was us Raenef, or at least me. I've grown more powerful, now my power knows no boundsཀ" Chris
announced.
"Mwahahahahahahaཀ"
He stopped when Erutis brought her fist down on his head.
"Idiot...it's obvious that the power was coming from me."
The two began to argue.
Raenef shook his head smiling.
They're back.
He grabbed each of their arms.
"Go."
They ceased arguing.
Eclipse felt their presence although his back was turned and he was putting books back on the
shelves.
"Master Raenef, good I was beginning to worry."
"Eclipse look who's hereཀ"
He turned around.
"Hi there Eclipse, long time no see, huh?" Erutis said.
"I couldn't find that really powerful person, though, they must have left."
Both mortals looked at him.
"We already told you, it was usཀ" they yelled simultaneously.
Suddenly they were lifted into the air.
They struggled, but couldn't get down.
This was very deja-vu for Erutis.
"Hey Eclipse, let us downཀ" she yelled.
"Very good My Lord." Eclipse said.
"What Raenef, you're doing this? Let me down, I'm afraid of heightsཀ"
Raenef set them down.
"Wow, when did you learn to do that?" Chris asked.
"A few days ago. That was the first time that I levitated anything bigger than a pencil."
"My question is, why, why did you levitate us?"Erutis questioned.
"Because I am a demon lord and I will not stand for such insulin." he declared proudly.
There was a pause.
Erutis and Chris started laughing.
"I think that you mean 'insolence' Rae" Erutis said, still laughing.
Raenef shot a Dark Arrow between their heads, narrowly missing them both.
"You dare correct me mortals?ཀ" he questioned in his best demon lord voice.
Despite the close call with the Dark Arrow, they began to laugh again.
"Sorry Rae, you're just too cute to be intimidating." Erutis said, wiping a tear from her eye.
"Yeah, she's right."
Eclipse shot them a glare, a ball of flame appearing in his hand.
He, on the other hand, was not.
That shut them up. They remembered that all too well.
The fireball dissipated, and he turned to Raenef.
"I expect that they will be staying. I shall prepare their rooms...Go."
Raenef turned to them, smiling again.
"So what do you want to do first?"
—
Unbeknownst to those in the castle, there was indeed someone with great power outside.
The wind blew Krayon's golden-blonde hair.
"I thought you'd be here. Have no fear my bright angel, I shall come for you...Go."
Sycocat: Ooh...I wonder what's going to happen.
Erutis: You already know what's going to happen, you're writing the story. Tell us.
Sycocat: Oh so now you feel like talking to me.
Erutis: We're sorry, just tell us.
Sycocat: So now I'm not crazy, huh Chris?
Chris: ...
Sycocat: I'm not crazy now, am I?
Chris: Fine, you're not crazy. Will you tell us now?ཀ
Sycocat: Hehehe...I am crazy.
Erutis: But you just sai-
Sycocat: Mwahahahaha...you'll have to wait.
