Chapter 34: Where They Come From, Those Of Lucas's Cult's Backstories!

It was a new day in The Twilight Carnival. Day 2 to be exact for Aaron and his friends as they were still trapped in The Midnight Sky Circus.

Aaron and Travis were playing Yacht, a dice game. Aaron sighed while eating a breakfast bar provided by the circus.

"Well, another day here…" He said,

"Yeah…" Travis said, "I sure hope someone comes and gets us out of here."

"Don't you want to physically leave instead?"

"And get killed by those freaks? Ain't happening for me."

Aaron sighed again.

"Alright then." He said,

Travis rolled the five dies and got 3 5's and 2 4's.

"Hey! A full house!" They said happily, "Nice!"

Travis marked the full house down and how many points he got on his scoreboard.

"Is this game luck based?" Aaron wondered,

"Probably." Travis replied, "I lost twice to Ghoulexis yesterday until I won another game or two."

"Guess it is then."

Edan passed by. Aaron saw Edan for a second and looked back at Travis.

"Hey, do you think those "freaks" aren't really what they seemed?" He asked him,

"What are you talking about?" Travis wondered,

"That firebreather… She has scars all over her."

"Oh… Uh… I…"

"I'm gonna go talk to her."

Aaron got up. Travis gasped as he got up as well.

"Aaron, are you crazy?!" Travis said to him, "What if you get us killed?!"

"Don't worry, I just want to make things calm." Aaron said,

Travis was confused. Aaron and Travis then walked out of their room to talk to Edan.

"Hey, excuse me?" Aaron said to Edan, "Can we talk to you?"

Edan stopped and turned her head to Aaron from behind.

"What do you want?" She asked him,

Aaron took a deep breath.

"So… Where did you get those scars?" He wondered, "You must have had a rough life, yeah?"

Edan had a stray look on her face.

"None of your business." She said, "If I even tell you anyways, you wouldn't care."

"I think I will care." Aaron said,

Edan sighed as she turned around and crossed her arms.

"Fine, you wanna know about my scars?" She said to Aaron and Travis, "Here, let's go back to your room."

Aaron, Travis and Edan were sitting on the floor as Edan still had her arms crossed and looked like she was about to give up.

"I was an Elf." She started, "At a village full of Elves with Fire magic. I always wanted to learn it from my parents, but then something tragic happened."
