My eyes fluttered open to a sea of blackness, inky, brightly coloured pigments thrown across said ebony canvas, twinkling stars and rolling dust. My ears were open to some horrifyingly loud sounds, that of hungry roars and rumbling in the distance. Trying to move my arms around, I felt some sharp pains shoot through them and looking at them it was no surprise why. My arms were bound to the stone behind me: the seal I had formed.

Yay. I'm at the Great Seal. How awesome.

With giant glowy-egg thing at the back.

"I am not a giant glowy-egg thing…" I heard an irritated female voice drawl from behind. From what I could tell, whoever said that was obviously a woman from the tone of their voice, and there was only one likely explanation that I could think of for the source of the voice. The only other thing that I could sense was Erebus too, so that narrowed it down.

"Um…" I tried to reply, but I was cut off sharply.

"Now listen here Fool, do not cross me. Choose your words wisely," she said. Wait, she just called me by 'Fool'? But this time I have a feeling that it wasn't because of my Arcana and was more of an insult.

"Because I did use it like that," she replied simply, as if it was the simplest thing in the world. "I suppose you aren't as dumb as the rest of you humans…"

"Hey, I resent that," I replied indignantly.

"I can see that," she replied sarcastically.

"Are you going to stop with the insults, Nyx?" I sighed, knowing that this was probably going to be a big…

"No," She replied quickly, and all too quickly. "It is amusing, seeing you react to my more scathing remarks. Now, please get used to it quickly, it's something you're going to be dealing with for the rest of eternity," She sighed with a sing-song voice.

I bit my lip slightly. She was reminding me of the fact that without getting out, I wouldn't be able to see my friends again. Now I really wanted out… If she keeps on doing this, there's no doubt I'M going to be the one contributing to humanity's collective negative thoughts.

I sighed softly so that she couldn't hear and started to try my escape. "Okay fine."

"What is it?" Nyx replied.

I breathed out in preparation for my question and… "Look, I want out of here."

Silence permeated the conversation before she replied. She actually had to think about this? "Why should I help you?" Nyx asked bluntly.

"Well…" If I could rub the back of my head right now, that is what I would be doing.

A few hours later…

Not a sound was filling the spaces, except for the occasional roar and the overall blowing of winds once I had finished.

"What the hell has this 'relativity theory' got to do with me helping you get out and do whatever the heck you want?" Nyx was probably deadpanning at me right now. I could feel that glare from my back…

"Look, all I'm saying is that I want to go back to my world and that if you do this you can go free as well, and hopefully with one hundred per cent less destroying the world." I explained in as short a form as possible.

"Interesting… but you know that the only reason I was doing that was because the people of your world wished for it," Nyx sighed with an exasperated tone.

"But there are a lot of people who don't want the world to end as well." I retorted.

"Is that right?" She asked with a condescending tone, though it didn't sound as if she was saying a complete no.

"Yes, there are a lot of people who don't want the world to end. Or have you not heard of those people either?" I replied, with a helping of sarcasm on the side.

"Can you prove it?"

I blinked once or twice at her words. Did… is she actually giving me a chance?

"Yes, prove me wrong, Fool," It almost felt like she was sneering at me. As if I had no chance whatsoever.

"Well… you're locked up here." I answered, referring to the seal that I had made using the Universe Arcana. It was probably the third or fourth time that a shroud of quiet had filled our conversation. If it could be called that.

"I made this seal with the power of my friend's bonds and love." I explained further.

"Hm… Interesting," She mumbled to herself. Huh? She sounded so much different just then. Nyx's demeanour just screamed the fact that she was extremely nonchalant and confident, as if she knew absolutely everything. But that tone she used earlier was a huge contrast to her earlier one, seemingly more childish than usual.

"Alright, I'll give you a year… Maybe what you're saying is actually true…" She conceded with a quieter tone than normal. "I can stave off Erebus for a while if I want to while you do that."

"Thank Thanatos…" I whispered to myself. "Thank you."

"Yes, yes… Now can you just get ready?" She sighed.

Not too long after she had agreed a star-like light blinded my vision and a scent filled my nose that only reminded me of one thing. "Home…"

An exasperated sigh came from beside me, and it sounded very familiar. Whoa. She was…

"What are you gawking at Fool?" She deadpanned.

Wow. Who knew Nyx could be so… beautiful?

AN: Yes, I'm doing this. What am I doing...?

Anyways, backburner fic which means... probably won't be updated for a loooong time. I definitely will later though...

Tell me about this chapter... I'm curious, since this is my first romance and humour fic that isn't crack so yeah... And yeah, inspired by CipherPrinceOfDreams' Days of Autumn and Days of Summer.

Anyways, catch ya guys later.
