Hey there- *Various weaponry and pie gets thrown at me* Why pie?
Spare me! I had projects to worry about! I'll try to get more chapters up for this fic and my other fic so don't kill me T.T!
Snowyh2o: Haha~ I enjoyed reading your review! *Hugs and gives cake* Mir went out with Afrien but Evan didn't follow. Freud can handle himself...probably, hopefully, maybe? Don't worry Evan i didn't forget about you, there will be fluff here including you so no worries. And yes Sunfire and Eclipse, behave yourselves.
well, on with the chapter!
Freud didn't expect that Luminous had all of a sudden attacked him, and the auburn haired mage wasn't so sure why either. Freud stood up but a chair blocked him behind and a table on his right, Evan was left. So he took out his wand to block Luminous's shining rod but the difference in length wasn't exactly fair. Evan came in and blasted Luminous with a fire ball making the warlord put some distance between them until Grendel popped out from behind to restrain him. "Luminous calm down! I don't know what Freud did to upset you but think through it first!"
Luminous growled defiantly as his hair changed into a slight black colour but he did as he was told and took a few deep breaths. The warlord's eyesight had became less blurry and widened in shock "You're….not him." Freud placed a hand over Evan's wand "I'm glad that we have the misunderstanding sorted out." Luminous gave muttered a apology as he placed down his weapon while mumbling some other weird things like 'soul' and 'almost similar'. The earth shook as two enraged dragon flew in and broke a nice big hole in Lania's house.
"Master are you all right?!" Afrien and Mir shouted at the same time and rushed to check on the two. Freud chuckled at the mother hen expression Afrien had while Mir nudged Evan gently. Although the moment ended as a cat pounced on Evan and started scratching him "O-ouch!" "That's a nice hole there! What, is the door non-existent?!" Lania grabbed Penny before he could maim the boy any further. Freud healed some of the more deep scratches.
"I apologize. We'll have you repair the place." Grendel nodded in approval as he went and handed the 'Equilibrium' book to Freud. "Consider this a favour and a request from me. Luminous assisted me once and I'd like to do the same but this magic is far above my limits." a upset look replaced his usual expression but it disappeared. "Alright then." Lania in the meantime tried to sate both Luminous and Penny from ripping the 'lizards' to shreds 'Honestly,' she thought 'I'm glad that they're agreeing to something together for once but maiming people shouldn't be the topic!'
And then begins their repairing task.
Afrien and Mir would go and get wood while Freud and Evan hammered everything in place. Luminous and Lania would often come to help as well. Afrien actually quite enjoyed the little lady's company and Lania was the same; they were usually found chatting about stories over tea. The group found out that Sunfire was actually the housewife type and a really reliable one at that (Surprisingly) and would be gentle with Lania(and often Evan) though he was still wary around the two mages. Eclipse never really got out at all so the group never met him as Luminous would show signs of fighting back and would immediately suppress him. Freud would occasionally frown in thought. Sunfire had never let Eclipse out so the auburn haired mage couldn't judge what type of person(or demon) he was. It was like the good half was pushing him down for the mere fact that he was evil and that he still considered Eclipse a huge problem.
Until one night, he got out. Evan was the one who saw him first. The boy was out to enjoy the soothing night, a habit that he picked up from his mentor until the mage felt Luminous not too far away and decided to check. Evan found that Luminous wasn't in his usual white robes. Which can only mean…the boy's eyes widened in shock as he felt the other's eye on him along with a terrifying smirk. In a flash Eclipse disappeared and reappeared in front of the still stunned Evan and unfurled his pitch black wings. "W-why are you out?"
"Aw why? Do you not like me?" Eclipse smirks as his blood red eyes gleamed. "Um not really its just-" "That I terrify you? Strike fear in your heart? Ahh now that I haven't done in awhile." Evan stared at the wings with interest, it looked so fluffy and soft; wonder whether its like Mir's leathery wings. "Umm do you mind if I touch that?" Freud would have smacked him for not setting priorities right. Eclipse seem to blink in surprise before shrugging and brought one of his wings close to the boy's hand. Evan was shocked at how, well, nice the demon was compared to what he had heard(no, not because the wings were incredibly soft.) "Why are you so different from what've heard?"
Eclipse seemed to ponder about that "Who's to say? Perhaps its because Sunfire's personality slipped into me. Perhaps I'm feeling incredibly nice right now; Or perhaps its because that damn girl kept on treating me so…so nicely." Damn girl? "Oh you mean Lania. Yeah, she's a nice girl." Eclipse glare seem to return in full force. "W-wait! We didn't touched her at all or harmed her!" That seemed to calm him down.
"Who said I was worried about her?" Evan fidgeted a bit as he decided on an answer. "W-well….its just a feeling. You seem to be protective of her the moment I mentioned her." Was it his imagination or was there a slight blush on the supposedly 'evil' and 'fear' striking warlord's face? "Well then your 'feeling' is wrong. I don't give a f*** about her." Evan gasped at the word "You shouldn't cuss like that!" he pouted as he crossed his hands in front of him. Eclipse blinked once, then twice before bursting out into laughter while covering his face with one hand.
"Kid, you're a few centuries too young to tell me that." Evan blushed in embarrassment as Eclipse laughed again. "Ah that was amusing. Haven't talked to someone in awhile without them trying to kill me since Sunfire almost never lets me out and that old man is helping him do so."
"What did you do to make them so wary of you?" Eclipse merely gave a smirk "Just the usual betrayal, killing and slaughtering. Humans are easy to kill and its fun to watch them squirm in fear." Evan shivered as the temperature dropped a few degrees. "Alright then, how come you're out?" "For a human. You ask too much." But still the boy asked with determination and curiosity which Eclipse felt; and was the only reason why Evan wasn't six feet under yet. "Turns out that Sunfire slipped up and I used that chance to take over control. He won't be out for awhile."
Evan went closer until a shining rod was pointed at his throat "Stay away. You may be familiar with that girl and all but I haven't thought of what to consider you." Evan gulped and took a few steps back. Although that was a complete lie; Eclipse just wanted to prevent himself from going soft, he already deemed the boy harmless since he allowed him to touch his wing without any resistance. "Its getting late. Go back." Eclipse orders with a growl as he lowers his weapon.
"What about you?"
"I'll stay here. The night is my domain, my comfort zone; there is no need to go anywhere when I'm comfortable here. And besides, if you want to talk to me more than you can wait. I already told you that Sunfire won't come back for awhile, maybe two or three days or perhaps I can hold on to this body forever." The last part was said with a smirk so Evan hastily retreated back into the house. 'That kid is interesting and amusing too. I'll have to keep an eye out for him, but I get the feeling that I've met him before…umm have I?'
The next day that Evan woke up, he immediately did his daily necessities and went to see Eclipse. He brought Mir along with him because the dragon was interested after he told him what had happened. The two entered the house to see…..a very interesting sight.
"Yay! Eclipse is out! Not that I don't like Sunfire but Eclipse is nice too!" Lania was squealing and hugging as well as dragging a slightly flustered Eclipse into the kitchen to help her make breakfast. "H-hey wait stop! I can't cook!" Lania giggled as she put on an apron "Don't be silly! What Sunny knows you know too and don't you deny it!" Eclipse actually pouted (A/N Omgtheworldisending!) before listening, how the girl managed to wrap him of all people around her finger is beyond him. Evan really couldn't hold it anymore and started laughing. Its official, demons could be cute too.
Freud came down from his room because of the ruckus and looked around before focusing on Eclipse. He didn't show his surprise when Evan and Lania was teasing him while helping around Mir often cracked jokes and asked questions to the warlord while bringing in ingredients that Afrien helped pick earlier this morning. Evan finally noticed his mentor and waved his hand. "Master Freud we're almost done with the 'evil' recipe Eclipse taught us!" Eclipse whacked Evan with his rod before grumbling and finishing his task; ignoring the giggling from Lania and snorts from penny.
Freud went and helped them set up the table "Well this is a pleasant surprise. Then again I'm not against the fact that you are quite the gentle being. My apprentice seemed to have already gotten attached to you." Eclipse snorted "Yeah right gentle. I can still wipe out a village or two on my own. Perhaps I should, I've been losing my touch with those two over there." Cue the duo puppy eyes and pout. Eclipse turned away, not wanting to face it. "Oh now that's interesting. Care to share how you 'lost your touch'?" Noticing Eclipse wasn't saying a word he turned his glance over to Lania.
The girl understood immediately what he wanted to ask "Oh back then clipsy was the epitome of denial and cuteness! Trust me you didn't believe how many times he denied something that was completely true!" Eclipse sent the deadliest glare he could to Lania which managed to make demons so scared they fled; but she waved it off as it was nothing. "Lania-"
"Oh come now clipsy, it shouldn't be that bad to tell them. They are interested and curious so they'll find out somehow even if I shut my mouth." Eclipse grumbled out loud and then glared at Freud and Evan which the two interpreted as 'if you tell anyone else, I'll hunt you down and slaughter you.'
"Ok then where do I start? Lets see…."
Ha! In other words Eclipse is the epitome of tsundere!
Eclipse: Why did you make me turn out like that! I should be wreaking that accursed town, Elinia and have killed that girl! Not making breakfast for them! *Snarls*
Me: People want fluff clipsy and it won't do if there is blood on your hands. Besides deep down i know you're a nice guy.
Eclipse: Still-
Me: If you still don't agree, i'll abuse my power as the authoress and make Lania dress you up before letting Sunfire conquer you.
*Silence* Eclipse: Fine.
Muhahaha! Umm i mean *Cough* well that's all for now. I'll update as soon as possible.
Please review~
