AN: Haha I'm probably just gonna delete this story after a day or two cause no one's reviewing and I don't think people like this. So… Yeah, it'd be nice if I got some reviews on how to improve, otherwise I'm not gonna waste time and keep this story-no matter how much I like Demon Diary :sniff:sniff:
Chapter 2.
The second assembly of the demon's court was held in Krayon's castle. The castle far North that stretched forth longer as it would seem, a human's life. Amber roofs with golden walls inside and silver glittering halls, a four part castle divided by one large lush courtyard overlooking into nothingness as it was almost always night with the courtesy of a spell Krayon had used.
Raenef had been summoned into the customary demon banquet that was about to last for days on end depending on the events that would occur.
Seven years ago, Raenef may have been afraid, hiding behind his tutor Eclipse. Seven years ago, when Raenef's hair was still held in a high pony tail, and his eyes glittered with pure ecstacy…he may have not attended to the invitation-but seven years ago was not now, and that was how he ended up staring down at the crowd belong the long banister of stairs-being announced by one of Krayon's minions.
Raenef V.
The owner of the castle's henchmen announced, causing all heads to turn at the last of the last demons heading down the stairs in complete, delicate steps, his black boots tapping to cut the silence, and his black attire that suited him well billowed not far behind him.
All demon heads, servants or not, turned. This was Raenef the fifth, the young boy whom Eclipse of the third order left. The independent demon who walked amongst them alone as ever, the one who had refused to take another demon tutor or servant after his last one left. Why was he so…enticing?
It was not just the crowd-the demon boy whom everyone gazed at knew they saw exactly the same thing he had seen in the mirror. The demi-human with light golden hair and dark purple eyes glazed in an emotionless façade, sending off a vibe of caution untouchable exhibition.
The lithe bodied boy accepted the drink offered to him and retreated in the shadows of the castle, parting himself from the crowd who have returned to their chatting. This, was the only time of the year to be friendly with each other. A break decreed by the order so that not all demons became insane for lack of communication with their own kind.
"How fair is my lady Erutis?" a voice asked.
Raenef smiled and didn't bother to look over his shoulder to see who it was. Who else was stupid enough to fall in love for a human? And his best friend no less? Why-the great-
"Krayon. She is well." The boy obliged to answer, swirling his blood colored drink. What were they serving him?
"So you did come. I thought she was lying just to get me off her back-but now!" his eyes sparkled, "Now I know my lady shall never tell me a lie!"
Raenef gave him a hopeful smile. Did Erutis really like this guy? He shrugged, "Of course. I had to go. She was leaving as well, and I would become lonely." He tried a toothy smile, but he could not cover up what he had let out.
"Why not take a new servant? All I need is a word, and you'll have plenty." Krayon held his hand as to snap his finger, but Raenef just sighed and looked out unto the crowd. That was when Krayon's light demeanor changed in complete, "Seven long years lord Raenef. Are you still regretting just as Erutis has said? Oh how my lady suffereth as you wallow in despair and you take her with you. But you never went and commanded Eclipse to stay."
"Was it my fault Krayon that he wanted to leave?" and before the elder demon of young beauty could answer, Raenef hastily began to escape if not for the sudden collision of another demon causing Raenef to drop his glass.
. Raenef heard his glass fall to the ground, and he heard Krayon snap his fingers for his servants…but…but he only saw one thing. One being.
Eclispe.
The taller one's golden eyes gazed down at him, and both demons could not blink, it was as if there was not breaking of the atmosphere that suddenly just crossed bounds between them.
It would seem, the subordinate one, Eclipse remembered his position, and giving a final look at the young man his past master had blossomed to, he bowed deeply and whispered,
"My apologies-"
"Eclipse!" Another voice cut in. Raenef looked away from his old tutor and up to another demon with short dark hair, bangs held from his eyes with silver rod and diamond studded clips, and he wore a red short sleeved cloak that flowed gently after him as he called his servant over to where he was standing among a group of other demons.
"Lord Tetsu." Eclispe muttered as he stalked off and stood beside his young lord once more before being ignored again, and the servants eyes wandered to where he had gone from.
And Raenef saw him, standing in all his glory with his new master. The young dark haired man that replaced Raenef... and he, Eclipse, deserved all the respect the others credited him for. And Raenef's heart broke when he caught his long unseen golden eyes…silently Raenef offered a small smile to him and turned his back from the demon.
The demon who left him. Eclipse.
