From her birth, her destiny was set in stone. But, who's to say that destiny can't be changed?
One spring break, in the lonely town of Hawkins, Indiana a circus comes to cure the inha...

The show went on as normal once Soleil disappeared under scarlet curtains and from there, the Ringmaster's cheery attitude returned as he presented Cassandra walking on a tightrope, strong men, clowns, more fire dancers, and, a bunch of other grand events the Circus had to offer.
But he knew that the crowd wanted the girl to come back.
So finally, after the knife throwers finished their routine, it was Soleil's time to come back on the stage. And a couple of teenage boys were ready.
As the curtains opened the Ringmaster stood on the stage as the same golden aerial hoop descended from the ceiling, a birdcage prop covering it. "Is that—Soleil? Soleil, we are going to get you out of there."
Soleil sat comfortably on the hoop like it was second nature to her, which, it was at this point. "Take all the time you need, the view is nice from up here."
Then, the Ringmaster bolted off to the stage to act like he was getting help. At this point, Soleil's father deserved an Oscar for being able to keep his act up while feeling like a volcanic eruption was about to go off inside his mind.
"Now this, I can't wait to see," Gareth said.
"You're not the only one." Eddie took a small bite of his churro while his eyes were still focused on the stage. The song, I Was Made For Loving You graced his ears as Soleil started to slither around the aerial hoop. She bent and spun around the hoop in a hauntingly beautiful performance.
Soleil hung onto the hoop with one hand swiftly while she did the moonwalk in mid-air then, she pulled herself back up right before the beat dropped. That was a magical moment.
She gripped the sides of the hoop and fire blazed from her eyes, the hoop caught fire and illuminated the stage. The crowd clapped so loud that you could barely hear the music. Eddie and his friends were utterly amazed, trying to figure out how that was even possible.
As Soleil continued to dance around the hoop, the metal of the cage started to melt down, just how hot was this fire? The metal continued to melt until—CLANK!
The cage fell to the ground and now, there was a clear view of the dancing girl. The golden hoop started to lower down as the song started to drift off. Once it got to stage level, Soleil let go of the hoop and mounted the half-melted metal cage, throwing her hands up and bowing.
Immediately, the crowd gave her a round of applause as the other performers came out to end the show.
Now that was the kind of performance Eddie had come to see.
"Thank all of you lovely audience members for coming to the Regal Circus. Have a good night!" The curtains closed once the Ringmaster spoke.
Eddie was stuck in his seat as some people started to exit the Circus according to the attendant's directions. Everything about Regal drew him in but that last performance by Soleil was...unexplainable. He had no words to describe it.
