While I stood there awestruck, a guy with pitch-black skin, and eyes like the night sky, walked up to me by himself.
As the guy opened his mouth, Irina politely excused herself and started walking towards the school building, then the guy said, "Hey! This place is pretty cool, huh. That golden buildi - I mean, the Divine Graveyard is a little creepy though, right? The place gives me the chills just looking at it."
'Didn't even tell me his name first... and what does Divine Graveyard mean...?'
"Yeah... My name is Alex... shouldn't you have said yours first?" I said.
"Oh! Sorry, I get a bit ahead of myself sometimes, eheh... The names Erebus, nice to meet you Alex!" Erebus said while scratching his head. Heh, kinda cute.
"Anyways... what do you mean by Divine Graveyard? Are higher-beings buried in there...?"
'There is no way, right? All of their bodies were practically indestructible, so they were all claimed by their own kind.'
"Of course not! It just pays respects to the higher-beings, which are deities and demon kings, that fell in battle. Plus, it'd be dangerous to be that close to them... especially while they are dead." Erebus appeared a bit flustered. I mean, of course he would. It is dangerous enough to be near a higher-being that can control their abilities and mana, but a dead one will just exert their strength freely.
"Yeah... you are right. So, where are you from..."

We had talked like that for quite a while, until the school decided the students were given enough time to be in awe, then ushered us into the Divine Graveyard. A seemingly never-ending hallway greeted all of us as we stepped through the massive golden doors. Along the bottom and top of the wall were glowing symbols, which were written in many languages. One language I could recognize was the Tongue of Fate, or the words by which destiny is weaved. The once high and mighty fates used these to interpret and manipulate the flow of fate and time.
Other things that could be found along the walls were portraits, offerings, and items of many fallen higher-beings. Most of the other students, especially Erebus, stood there with their jaws hanging. And then we were in-front of a large over-bearing door.
'What is this?!' I panicked.
I could feel my knees give out as the door demanded our submission, the pressure causing blood to leak from my eyes like tears. I would try to stand up, but seeing the students that fell over and began to foam at the mouth when they tried, I quickly tossed aside that idea. Erebus was in a worse situation than me. He wasn't simply forced to kneel, but had his face completely pressed to the ground as he clenched his blood-stained teeth. I could see his muscles strain, and veins bulge, as he tried to lift his face, but to no avail.
Not a single person dared to talk, 'WHO WOULD?!'
If simply trying to stand caused you to convulse on the ground, speaking might lead to a far worse fate. However, despite this overwhelming pressure, one person was standing, and that was someone who had been guiding us to the door. They were standing directly in front of the door, and were oddly familiar... but just who is it?
They have a striking resemblance to, 'Irina! WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!'
[ Erebus' POV : Laying next to kneeling Alexander. ]
'Shit. I mean, I knew my jaw was hanging like I was about to take the fattest dick, but isn't this a little much? I can't suck off the entire planet!' I thought as my open mouth was suddenly forced onto the ground.
I clenched my teeth, such as to avoid doing just what the planet wanted me to do. Honestly, this feeling is terrible. It is as if a million ants are crawling along my skin, and biting at my eyes, while chains are pulling on opposite sides for control of my body. It's like my mind and body are splitting, this is ridiculous! Just for a good suck, really?
'Shit, how is Alex?' I thought myself as I attempted to pull my body up.
An unbearable heat surged through my body as I tried to get up, my black skin being dyed in the deep-crimson of my blood. My pupils expanded as if to devour the redness of my iris', my muscles screamed out in pain, and my veins felt as if they were bursting, but I wouldn't dare scream out myself. I won't let the Earth have its way with my mouth!
'Alright, I'll just uh... tilt my head a bit to look at him... Ah, he is doing way better than me.' I thought myself after confirming Alex's condition.
He was only forced to kneel... as I looked around a bit more, it was obvious he was in the best condition. I'm starting to get fatigued...the chains that seem to have been ripping my mind and body apart look to be succeeding. Alex probably has a better resistance, but I feel like I'm going to pass out right now. And then everything turned black...
"A.."
'Huh, five more minutes...' I must be missing breakfast.
I have a pounding headache, I really don't want to get up right now. I also have some very serious chills, and my joints feel like they are going to snap. Razel must've stressed me out over something stupid again, or maybe I have the Flu. Probably the Flu.
"Ale..."
'Shut up, Razel! I'm trying to sleep here...' She isn't usually this annoying.
She'll usually just end up curling up next to me in bed at this point. Honestly, is this even Razel? She could never resist such temptation when seeing my sleeping face.
"ALEX!"
'Huh... oh... OH THAT'S RIGHT! Me and uh... Erebus was about to die to a... a door? Yeah, a door!' With that thought in mind, I suddenly sat up.
Unfortunately for me, I was on a lap pillow, an Erebus lap pillow, meaning he was gazing down at me. This meant that...
"OW!"
I head butted the shit out of Erebus, and it hurt like all hell too. I could feel the blood trickle down from my forehead due to the strength I put into sitting up. My vision began to blur as I began to remember more about the door, and I decided I probably shouldn't lose anymore blood. I lost a lot from the doors overwhelming pressure, and I'm not planning on dying due to blood loss. My vision began to clear once more, and I realized I didn't recognize where we were.
"Ow... Erebus, where are we?"
I was overlooking a vast and lush plains from atop a mountain, the trees that were sparsely scattered appearing to be waving green ants. And blazing in the what looks to be the afternoon sky, lay three suns.
'Three suns...'
"THREE SUNS?!" I yelled out, realizing what I had just observed.
Erebus moved his hands from soothing his forehead, to covering his ears, before he finally recovered to say, "Sheesh... I dunno where we are. I just woke up here, and then you appeared a few minutes later. This definitely isn't earth though, not with those three suns hanging in the sky."
"I appeared?"
'Like, poof, and I was there?' He's kidding, right?
"Yeah, you just kinda showed up man."
