All Chapters of Here Lies at Cosmos: Chapter 1 - Chapter 4

IN SILENCE, I walked down the wide pavement, pressing my fingertips. There aren’t too many buses wandering today and I don't know why.It's been an hour since I noticed something odd. Every gust of wind was heavy, and the surroundings were exceptionally quiet. Silence is so unusual for this place. Most of the time, this avenue is filled with busy vehicles but I can hardly find anything now. Not that it's a big deal but it's really weird. Seems like something strange is going on, or maybe I'm just too paranoid?I repeatedly shook my head and took a deep breath. Why am I bothered, anyway? It's not like this is the first time. This street was once silent and eerie. That was before when no drunks were hanging out here.I was taken aback when a loud ringtone rattled my ears. I took a deep breath to calm myself before answering the phone call."Hello?""Hey, idiot! Where are you?!"I instantly pulled myself from my phone when a shrill scream

LOUD neighs of horses greeted me as I step on the grass field. Narrowing my eyes, trying to see things from afar, I forced a sigh and wandered my sight on the horses gathered around the large area. Medium tents are erected for the horses' shade. Yvonne held my hand and pressed it slightly. "Welcome to Audowin," she said. "We're heading to the Fortress, it's only a 10-minute walk, though. Ready?"Audowin Fortress. I don't have a goddamn idea what that is. A castle? Some sort of a hideout? Headquarters?I can't deny, this place looks pleasing. Just like the ones in the movies where buildings and houses are made of bricks and stones. Carriages and horses were strolling everywhere instead of modern vehicles. There were also small shops I can't even name, selling weird items. The streets were either so wide or so narrow and for the four of us, we took the dim and narrow one. "We don't bite. Don't worry," Exi said behind me.
