Kalto never ventured this far after dusk, knowing what lurked in the dark. But an opportunity like this didn’t come around to often, to study the dark in such proximity. The night air was bitter, enough to chill his fingers. He blew into his hands hoping the temperature of his breath would warm his hands some. He looked to the other beside him who was waiting to enter “What are you doing first? I’m not to sure myself.”

-

There’s an unpleasantness about the circus that bothers Azarius; he’s never met Khaos - not even caught a glimpse of the ghost that haunts the carnival as his own. It’s something different, sure, a new way to lure in the unsuspecting; the elders and the youths that crave to find something that sparks their immortal hearts to life and has that rarity to surprise where the world struggles to fulfil that in the minds of most; a long existence destroying that keen sensation of something new and replaced with: I’ve seen this all before. Azarius has seen the circus before; just not Khaos, not the man behind the shrouds of colour that stain the Haven with its arrival.

And the only thing that keeps Azarius from wanting to tickles flames at the fabric rumbling like a woken beast under the stress of the wind is the prospect her may land eyes on the man that seems to allude them all; exists but yet, nobody knows what he is; what makes him a powerful entity on the plain of Crooked and no soul knows why. 

A voice comes quickly, friendly in its manner - closer than Azar would deem safe for anyone courageous enough to strike up conversation with him. And slowly, the demon lolls his head to one side to turn attention to the stranger, a prickle of some kind of magic in the veins of the other but Azarius isn’t looking for it. Doesn’t intend to brush magics right now with anyone; not without some provocation first. 

Doesn’t mean he’s all that amused by the other’s question. 

“Have you met Khaos?” it’s an inquiry that spurs from the other’s, “Because whatever you decide to do in there first doesn’t matter, he’s rumoured to guide you to the last,” he doesn’t care for it to be a warning; isn’t there to provide wake-up calls to the other where he’d rather burn holes where his eyes sockets are, but he does use it to accompany the twisted grin that tugs at the edge of his lips; eyes that darken to contrast the whites of ivories. Adds on: “Brave of a mortal to risk it,”

Introducing the M A I N  E V E N T  of the Circus De La Khaos, please, take your designated seats and enjoy the S H O W.

The curtains of the Big Top O P E N and all the guests of the Carnival pile in, the atmosphere is lit with excitement and every human and supernatural alike are keeping the peace with minimal hostility carried over to violence. It’s a treaty held by the ground they walk beneath; the neutral of The Haven and now under the roof of the tent that has alluded them all they are guests to the Khaos Carnival and the flickering lights of magic hang low from above; lanterns that float by spells circle the seats as rows upon rows form a ring around a sandy centre; it remains D A R K; shrouded in shadows cast that are free from the lights shone over the seats; plaques are embossed on each row, names of each individual invitee plastered across it. 

The familiar voice of K H A O S rips through the enclosed space, shakes the thin walls of the tent as the voice of silk introduces the opening of the performance, signals that it will begin in but thirty minutes: 

Thank you all who have made it, I extend my gratitude for chasing the excitement I promised to offer you. If you would please find your seats, the S H O W will begin shortly. I cannot wait for you to F E A S T your eyes upon the M A R V E L S I have gathered over my years - they will truly S H O C K and remain not for the faint of heart. I am thrilled to see your faces when the Khaos hits the stage. 

Please, E N J O Y, I hope the Karnage is enough for you...

The lights rise over the seats, illuminate the far stretch as they curve around at all angles to cover the ring. There are C L O W N S in excessive wear, ivories on display with fixed grins handing out drinks for all those wanting to wet throats; and desire, a further selection of delicacies on offer from the passing few Khaos members that subsidise treats and snacks for all the creatures that have become a little P E C K I S H in waiting for the performance to begin. 

Unbeknowst to the guests, there is a gentle thrum of power emanating from the earth below them, fixed in the blades of grass, crushed beneath boots and crumples pamphlets advertising the Circus discarded along with it. The only known thing to them all is that...

The Circus of Khaos is truly about to begin...

                                                  a show to remember...

                                                                                    aeternum memoriae...
