In a remote location on earth around 8:00pm there was a large crowd inside a big top tent. Some people were outside playing carnival games, getting tarot card readings, and other fun things. Inside the big top there was a person wearing a top hat, fishnet leggings, gold bow tie, and had a devil like tail coming out of a hole on the back of their outfit. The spotlight was focused on him as he brought out a microphone." Ladies and Gentlemen. Boys and Girls. I am Raven, the ringmaster of this lovely demonic circus. Tonight you will see things that delight you, cause fright to you, and maybe will even inspire you." He said and grinned to the crowd." Our first act will be quite fun, fanciful, and sexy~" He purred out at the end causing the crowd to applaud. A man came out wearing no sleeves shirt, jeans, long boots and biker gloves and a mask to cover his eyes that resembled Robin's from batman was on the center of the show. He is known to lift very heavy objects. Raven grinned when he came out." May I present to you, the one, the only, Strongman Shoka!!!" He introduced then sat on top of a 200lb box for him to lift. Shoka cracked his knuckles then chuckled as he lifted the weight up with only one hand. "There you go." He said. Raven stood up on the box and smiled as the crowd cheered. Some workers brought out more heavy boxes for Shoka to lift. Raven grinned a bit." How about some encouragement folks?" He asked the growing crowd and they all cheered loudly. Shoka lifted the weights up easily. "Heh I can lift these, no problem." He said as he still used one hand to lift the weights. Raven was on top of the 10 boxes. The crowd cheered and threw roses at them. Raven hopped down from the boxes and grinned." Well folks that's all for now, we'll be back after a short intermission." Shoka bowed the headed to the back where others were getting ready for their acts. He stretched and sighed. "Alright, I'll be in my room." Raven smiled a bit." I'll come with you. I have some news I need to tell you anyway." He said and held his hand. Shoka smiled then took Raven to his room. "So, what's the news?" He asked curiously. Raven grinned." Well...we're going to have another baby soon." He said happily." Keira, Delaney, Alastor, and Lora are already grown up with their own acts."
"Another baby? Dear! That's great news." Shoka said and smiled happily. "I can't wait." At a nearby old apartment where a gang of bikers live at, they threw one of their members out along with his motorcycle. "... Ilez. It's not going to work out. You are not a biker nor have you ever paid for the lease. You are a pathetic alcoholic and smoker. We don't want someone like you in our crew." The leader of the biker gang said. Ilez got up from the ground and dusted his knees. "... Fine! I don't need this. You can take your stupid jacket as well." He said then removed it and threw it on the floor. I'll find a new crew! A better one then soon you guys will beg me to come back!" He yelled then walked away. "... How bad... can it be. I can live off well on the streets... yeah.." He said to himself but sighed as he noticed that it was raining now. His body was sizzling from it as water was something his body didn't like. "... Shit." Someone appeared behind him and held up an umbrella that looked kinda weird due to its odd patterns." You okay there bud? Looks like your allergic to water or somethin." The stranger said. He had blonde hair with black tips, strange blue eyes, and was wearing a brown vest with a black and grey stripped shirt. "... I'm okay." Ilez said as he looked down and sniffed. "I don't want to bother you with my presence." The man grinned at that." Ever see a guy with backwards feet? That's a bothering presence." He said and chuckled." What's yer name?"
"Flames--- O-Oh... I mean.. It's Ilez now." He said then looked at Lucifer. "I don't really have a purpose in life since I have no friends or family. I should probably find a good alleyway to sleep at." The man chuckled." Well, my names Lucifer. Imma knife thrower at that circus that'll be in town for awhile. I could offer you shelter in turn for some help from you. I need someone to have in my act. You'd just need to stand still while I throw knives around you." Ilez looked down as he was thinking about it. "... I'm not in a biker gang anymore... so what's the point of anything. I'll join you in your act then." Lucifer patted his back." You won't regret it. You'll be part of the family." He said softly. "... Family." Ilez whispered.
