Four musketeers sauntered across the grass.

These four musketeers consisted of a gentleman, a warrior, an inconsiderate teenager, and a horse that resembled a fluffy bunny - what an odd mix. 

The gentleman, Cassius, lead the way, small branches snapping under his large hooves. 

Sasha, the warrior, and Atlas, the teenager, followed, Sasha keeping a close eye on the mischevious boy. 

And the silly bunny looking thing trailed behind in a world of their own, pulling leaves off the bushes as they went past and chomping on them. 

A very strange crowd. 

“What have you dragged me into this time?” Atlas said snobbishly.

Sasha rolled her eyes, “You speak as if you would ever turn down an adventure.”

Lopey giggled. 

Snapping his head around, Atlas furrowed his brows at the bunny, “Weirdo, you’re not one to talk.” 

Lopey giggled again, eyes wandering to the goose on Atlas’ back, “Goosey!” 

The white goose let out a huff and curled into Atlas’ mane, hiding it’s face. 

Atlas tried to shove him away, “Ew get off, you’re lucky I even brought you with me this time.” 

Everyone came to a sharp halt due to Cassius’ large body blocking the path. Just in front of him was a hole in the dirt with a set of steep moss covered stairs leading into darkness. 

Cassius looked back to see everybody’s reactions. A collection of shrugs and faces that said ‘might as well’. Lighting his lantern above his head, he set off into the abyss, the rest following with careful steps.

Trudging down the path, they stepped into a vast round chamber, sand crunching under their feet. 

“Is this an.. auditorium..?” Sasha questioned. 

Lopey hopped with excitement, “Lookie! Lookie at them!” 

Everyone followed Lopey’s direction, gazing upwards to see crowds of shadowy figures leaning down from their seats, their eyes an empty, faded white. 

“What the fuck are they?” Atlas said, horrified. 

Cassius and Sasha made sure they stood in front protecting, “No idea, but be careful.”

A gust of air from in front of them made them quickly look back down. A lanky, skeletal figure pranced around the room, moving far too fast to be a normal courser despite having the physique of one. 

“Did you come to play?”
