Being swallowed between its neck inside the surface, he floated down in the water. On any side of the neck, tons of skeletons tried to reach him. Slowly turning his body, he floated down facing the surface. Gravity pushed him strangely. His empty eyes almost closed. Feeling dug into a grave, he thought…
"... Am I dead?…"
He pushed his hand through the earth, trying to exit.
His hand broke through a grave, tearing open a vast terrain in the underground waters. The grave stood on a sidewall of a ceiling filled with tombs.
On the gravestone was written "Suiydu Inezeya, 1990–1997."
Falling through the grave, he drifted together with parts of earth down in the water.
The curved ceiling of the enormous terrain was a graveyard, continuing downward as huge pillars. Its surface was covered with beautiful corals, sea flowers, and plants clinging to the rocks. Wide paths of sand stretched through the valley. On both sides of the paths, thick strands of kelp rose, forming arched gates along the way. Beautiful and colorful fish swam around, like angelfish, butterflyfish and moon jellyfish.
At the center of the huge terrain stood a huge pearl castle. All its long towers twisted upward thinly. Some of its towers surged from the ceiling. The center stood high.
From his mouth streamed bubbles. His hair waved in the water. Blood of his chin mixed in the water. His body twisted with the water's flow. Landing on the sand on his back, he watched the landscape.
"How can I breathe underwater?..."
His breath grew heavier. The water flowed toward him. Inezeya tried to stand up. Fish swam away far from the castle. As he rose, some of them surged toward him. His light blue and white furry scarf floated in the water. His empty eyes gazed at the castle.
At the outside of the higher floors of the castle, lay a black-blue haired young man. While his left leg hung down, he rested his right arm on his bent right knee. Three fingers of his left hand pressed resting on the left side of his head. A skull, clasped from above and below between two hands, marked the center of his forehead. His voice surged randomly from any direction around Inezeya.
"Welcome, kid…"
With confusion, Inezeya stared at the man. He took the finger from his mouth and held it between the fingers of his left hand. Bubbles slightly drifted from his lips as he spoke.
"And… You're?"
The man gazed back at him with a small smile. His voice surged from everywhere around him.
"I'm a Surreror, King of the Deathrow. I am Elezia."
Anger began to harden Inezeya's face.
"What's with all those graves in the sky?"
His smile grew wider.
"My prey."
Inezeya clenched his fists. His heart seethed with rage as he stared into Elezia's dark blue eyes.
"Why did you kill all of them? And… why did you just let innocents die?"
Elezia sat up, his fingers of his right hand rested on the right side of his head. His wide smile revealed his teeth.
"Anything has a reason."
Gritting his teeths, Inezeya kept calm with anger.
"So… What's yours?"
He began to laugh.
"Because I want."
Full of hatred, Inezeya grabbed his scarf and tore it from his neck. Clenching it in his fist, he thrust it toward Elezia. His chin, bruised knuckles and elbows bled again, dissolving into the water. Rage and seriousness hardened his face.
"I SWEAR!!... When I grow strong enough, I will chop your head and burn it with your gang!!! YOU HEAR ME?!"
Pain froze Inezeya…
From the ceiling… Five gigantic, decayed and bony hands loomed and swallowed him…
Elezia smiled and lay down.
"Well... First become a butcher, Inezeya…"
Crushed in their grip, blood from his body and all the oxygen in his lungs fled out. Together with his own red saliva, he drowned in the water, trembling in pain. His memory faded.
