A cold chill drifted through the air. The clown had his back towards a large black cannon filled with explosives, dressed in rainbow clothing along with large rainbow hair. Ash the dare-devil slowly approached him, trying not to be seen. The clown turned around just in time and stopped Ash before she even had the chance to scare him. "Echo, how did u see me this time?" questioned Ash "It is none of your concern Ash."

 Ash jumped on top of the canon and gazed at Echo with loving eyes. Echo has a round face with white and red face smudged face paint covering it, he also had a large scar tracing up his mouth to his right eye which was missing. All you could see in his right eye was a bottomless black pit of despair. "So, you never did tell me about why your here..." Hinted Ash. "Well i guess a curious mind never rests. As you know i suffer from Dissociative identity disorder which caused me to be abused horribly as a kid at school and at home. All i wanted to do was make people laugh. One day I snapped. I grabbed a baseball bat and took it to school. I started beating some of the kids and a teacher, I managed to murder 4. I still remember their bloody and bruised faces i was finally satisfied. I got stayed in jail for 23 years but managed to escape, i dressed as a clown so that i would never be found. I found Odin's circus and decided its the right place for me as it is filled with freaks just like me.

Ash's mouth dropped in surprise "Wow that's so....cool!" Echo looked at Ash in confusion "Thanks.?" They continued to chat about other unimportant features of their lives. Idris had finally finished reading up on everybody's details and was ready to start to set up the circus with the others. Idris stepped out of her small office and the circus tent fell silent. "Alright everyone, we will be setting up shortly but first everyone should get some sleep." Everyone walked outside into the train and went into their rooms.

Idris went into the animal cages and took out a baby elephant. Idris feed he baby elephant and bonded with her. "Good girl Whisper." whispered Idris. Idris shut the cage back up and entered the train, then she fell asleep.
