Unfamiliar sounds.
Unfamiliar sounds whispering in Van's ears as he stared at the horizon of nothing but silver and gold; floating, flying-- seemingly afraid to hit the ground and mingle with the rust and copper down below.
Now that he was taking his time to ingest the scenery in front of him, the beauty that he saw earlier completely faded away; just as the rest of the places he has been, there will always be two sides-- one side, sometimes hidden.
As for the planet Osiris, the dirt was hidden in plain sight; obvious, but inevitable. Even in the terrace of the most important building of this world, down below is the garbage-- his previous world.
If Van was born here, he would no doubt be on the ground, surviving… thriving.
"All of these are new to you."
"..."
Van's solemn stares were disrupted as the sound of Queen Vivati entered his ears.
