A long ago and far, far away from our world. An amazing world where books and adventures were everything, People would spend their foremost time in order to collect the books and read apart every single world. They would get lost in a world not much familiar than our own. But, adventures were no less common than a book!
It was a Bright Sunny day, birds were chirping, the sound of children playing outside. Dustfinger, A man with a skill on his hands, woke up unanticipated and found a marten crawling up on his belly button. It was his pet, a marten with horns. He picked it up, loved and petted him on its neck and left him on the floor to play and crawl again on the floor. Yes, he loved crawling no wonder why such marten would love to do so.
Bells were ringing and people could hear them from far away. A large audience waiting for someone. Who was it? Of course, it was the man with the skill on his hands. Dustfinger was nervous and knew that it was the day he is been waiting for. The world had no such great things other than shows and books to read. Dustfinger ought to have a show tonight!
"Don't be nervous, Silly Dustfinger, everything is gonna be fine and everyone would love it."
Dustfinger satisfied himself,
The marten sitting beside him was sitting firmly like he knew what his master was saying. He growled like he got the point that Dustfinger was mentioning. He Growled again, Dustfinger laughed and said, "Yes, Yes my little brave fire marten, You too will be watched by the whole world one day."
Suddenly, out of nowhere a voice aroused "WAKE UP WAKE UP, Dustfinger Wake UP" Dustfinger fell out of his bed. "Ooh, what? It was all a dream, can't you just let me have fun in a dream, though?!" Dustfinger yelled at his roommate. He was a pale guy with brownish hair color and blue eyes. "Don't you wanna go to the auditions for the thing you always wanted? You don't want to juggle on streets your whole life? isn't it?!" His roommate convincing Dustfinger while tying his tie, smiling looking into the mirror.
"Oh yes! I almost forgot, Thank Goodness, I had you that you woke me up" Dustfinger jumped in a matter that he almost stumbled on to the way to the door. "I must get to the Auditions today" Dustfinger cried.
Let's go, Gwin! We must hurry up. Gwin was the marten with horns that jumped onto Dustfinger's shoulder as soon as his master told him.
The time they reached the Auditions, A big line was already stretched, Dustfinger stood in the line crossing his fingers that he will be chosen to perform in the Castle for the King!
The King's name was Capricon, A King who Enjoyed fire and magic but despite that he liked to kill little animals and torture them, that was truly a horrifying thing to think upon!
Tick, Tick, Tock, Tock, time passes by as Dustfinger watching people coming out of the room with a massive face of disappointment. He was getting nervous after every person getting out of that disappointment. He was last of the line but there were people behind him too. Just behind him was a mother holding the hands of her twins. They both looked naughty and ugly, Dustfinger thought why she would not wash their clothes or even their faces? Wasn't she their mother? Or Why is she even here? She can do Magic or Tricks with fire or what? But it was a no time to think about such things, Nervousness was at peak on Dustfinger's face!
Alas! The time came when Dustfinger was called.
He entered the room, It was a wide room with three chairs ahead of him. He could not see the King. How silly of him thinking that he would see the King just on Auditions. Judges asked some questions, He was impressive with the Skills on his hand, with the Fire and also with the marten. Doing stunt on a marten was a no easy job. But he did it and that's what judges liked about him.
One of the Judge stood up and with a heavily voice said, You have to go to that room Mr..... Dustfinger quickly replied with his name. "Oh! Yes whatever that is" Said the judge, they will announce the winner until then, he can take the marten and wait in the room.
The room was full of many people and it was a one small room, He wondered as if he was a captive but waited for the announcement eagerly. He wondered that what took the judges so long to make a decision.
"Ooh! Yes, I'm the best. Yes, I really am the best" He repeated that to convince and satisfy himself. The Gwin, He didn't like the crowd so he decided to take a nap on the lap of Dustfinger.
The Nervousness was not over at all, What was going to happen? Was Dustfinger really that much qualified that they would take him? Or his fate was just a Street Juggler and a Street Fire Performer with a little marten wandering into the shops and villages!
