something that caused San and the rest of the Demons to freeze in horror.
    “Do you even know which Prince I am?”
    Foreboding silence collapsed over San, and Eclipse chose that moment to finally enlighten him.
    “Lust,” Eclipse revealed simply.
    An all-consuming gasp rocketed throughout the room.
    San turned a shade paler.
    “That’s right,” Eclipse taunted, already knowing the effect this information would have on these Demons. “The one born under the eclipse.”
    Still thunderstruck, San shakily said, “But the youngest Prince is said to have never walked the earth.”
    “He walks now,” Eclipse replied darkly. “Your God walks the earth and he is full of rage. You may have never met me, but I’m sure you’ve heard of my reputation. You know the powers I am able to wield and the wrath I am capable of bestowing on those who have angered me.”
    San’s body began to levitate in the air as Eclipse’s fury became more potent.
    “Whoever your master is, they will have to fight me,” continued Eclipse, watching as San thrashed in pain. “And as you will see in a few moments, even in my dimmed state, I am not easy to overpower.” His aquamarine eyes turned colder. Nothing but rage and the need for vengeance cloaked his face. He spared a glance at me before turning his attention to the Demons suspended in the air. “I told you not to touch her, and you did. Now you, your minions, and your new regime will know my wrath.”
    What occurred next was astronomical.
    Boom!
    The force field that had been acting as a second roof for us broke apart, allowing the storm to come hurtling into the room. As the once peaceful world fell apart all around us, a big chunk of glass from the ceiling flew down towards Eclipse, cutting his arm and leaving a big gash. Despite how painful it looked, Eclipse did not even deign to acknowledge it, for his focus was completely on the ones he wanted to punish.
    A humming sound began to vibrate in our ears. I clasped a hand over my chest, suddenly finding it hard to breathe. I could feel my own body begin to tremble in agony.
    What . . . what was happening to me?
    “Ahhhhh!”
    From behind me, Phix and Demon Girl started to scream, their voices chorusing after the blood-curling screams of the Demons who hung above us. Those Demons rose higher into the air, now hanging above the dark sky in all different directions. The one who hung lowest was San, whose earsplitting screams rivaled the thunderstorms.
    “Ahhhhhhhhh!”
    Streaks of lightning began to infiltrate the sky, lighting the world above with blue lights. Another monstrous roar of thunder boomed over us before lightning bolts struck all the Demons at the same time.
    Boom!
    As if on cue, all the Demons above me convulsed profusely, their once black eyes burned out by a stream of blue fire. The wrath of Eclipse was undeniable. It was so powerful that even though I wasn’t the object of his rage, I still felt the brunt of his anger.
    I felt like I was being microwaved alive.
    I clutched onto my stomach and began to cough nonstop. Shaking from pain, I wiped my hand across my mouth when something gushed out of it.
    “Oh God . . .”
    I gasped after I realized that I had coughed out blood. As the Demons’ screams surrounded me, I felt something burst within the confines of my ears. I touched my ears, nearly blacking out as my eardrums popped. Terror struck me when I saw ribbons of blood on my fingers. I peered at my reflection in one of the full-length mirrors in the room and I almost screamed when I saw that there was blood pouring out of my eyes, mouth, and ears.
    Eclipse’s previous warnings about his lethal powers circulated in my mind. This was why he had to dim himself around me. And to think that this was only a portion of his true powers. I couldn’t imagine how my body would react if I were exposed to the entirety of his strength. I was sure that I would be nothing but a speck of dust. I swallowed past my pain as the
