• As the Sun reached it's highest point in the sky, the music bounced and floundered about merrily. And beyond the childish joy of the melody, threw the doors of the big top, past the the crowded audience, the Ring Master stands in the middle of all the attention. One of the performers selects a young girl from the audience to act along side them.



    She smiles, delighted by the opportunity. She sings, she dances, she improvises to keep the show going, the crowd cheering loudly. It made the circus workers' hearts swell with happiness to see such a modern, young girl take joy in such an old world thing.
    It also made their bellies ache in anticipation of their next meal. And with such a lovely, happy, pure soul before them, temptation was hard to resist.



    As the Moon-shine glow over the treeline, the music bounced and floundered about merrily. And beyond the childish joy of the melody, threw the doors of the big top, past the the empty seats and fallen snacks, the Ring Master stands in the middle of all the attention.



    The performers cheered, encouraging their newest member of the family. The young jester smiled widely, clad in her expensive outfit or ravishing reds, golds, and blacks. The bells of her dual-horned hat jiggled and she balanced nicely on a large circus ball. Her smile was directed at her new family, but her onyx gaze was vacant and aimless, just like her performances.


    And just like her family.
