A Night in a Circus

Prologue

This world that magic, pixies, centaur, and even fairies are believe to be existed. In this small town, Agartha Alley it's just an ordinary alley. All people here despise those magical creatures and hate magic. But one day  a circus was made to entertain.

All of the maiden and even all men are all excited to watch the show, they say it was the greatest show and the circus only visit a town once, so if you miss it, you'll miss everything fun that happens in your life.

"Still looking forward to watch that pathetic show Inah? Let me remind you about—" I interrupted because I know what she's saying.

"About those illusion and tricks that they show and totally waste of money." And she looked at me, I can see worry in her eyes.

She came near me and touch my chin then my hair at the back, her emerald eyes are still stunning and her red hair akin to a wild fire in her head. My mother is beautiful in every single way that she was made. She gave me a small smile and let our nose kiss each other. She always do that when she's saying goodbye to me.

"Now let me tell you for the last time about the old tale." She drag me into a chair and I take a sit and face her.

"Long ago when the four houses are united there are rumors about a beautiful lady named Calliope, Lord Chester's daughter well she was the prettiest girl in town and they say she rejected a hundred engagements and her reason was she was too young to be a wife. She grew up as a fine lady and gained hundred of suitors but there's only one man she fell with.

"She was so in love and didn't realize she fell for the wrong guy, that guy was a Paralian Blood a devilish creature live near the rivers and lakes, her soul was suck out her body and died. The end." And she widened her smile. And I was still staring her eyes with horror and it was really ironic when all of her tales end with an tragic ending.

"Mom! What's the lesson of that tale? The girl could've been a queen or a wife of a governor. " And she continued to laughed loudly.

"My dearest, you still don't get it don't you? Love is a powerful distraction, and I just wanted to say is don't fall for effloresce words that everyman says. "

She stood and stare the candles in the tea table, "Trust me, mothers always knows best."

Pixies? In her story they're all little monster that eats human skin. Elves? They're good-looking people but she says they're all evil that drink human blood for imortality. Mom always says that all people hates when they see different, peculiar about them, they despise uniqueness. They choose to follow, all things surround them makes them think that they have all the rights to be  above all.

"Could you send this to Enara's? " She handed me the cheese cake that my aunt Jeanne specialty.

"Tell her it's 7 sickles" she added then I hurried to get in out to the bake house and a fresh air from the late summer breeze greet me as I get out.

"Good day Miss Enara, mother says it's 7 sickles." I greeted the old lady near from our house. Her grey hair stated that she use her younger years for knowledge and happiness, she's our neighbor and been a nice neighbor to us.

"Hello Inah, come inside." I nodded and enter her humble abode.

It was warm and cozy inside and smells like a my great great grandma's tomb, I know it's much rude to tell her smells like a cemetery, "Here's the payment." She handed me 7 silver coins and I give her the basket we're the cheese cake is.

As I got out of her house I heard some loud noise outside, so my eyes search where it came from, and with a single snap all of the people attentions turned to me, and I can sense their anger.

"Freak!" Shouted the middle aged woman that carries a child in her arms. She pointed me and one of the farmers grab my wrist.

"You and your family is a freak and a family of weirdos." The man stated and show disgust in his face.

"You're unwanted in this town young lady." They cried again.

I can't move, I stand still in this crowd and I feel so alone and I can't help myself but to cry and burst into tears. And all things was out of my control the water in the fountain was floating and suddenly turn into a block of ice. The crowd was turn into silence, for a second I thought I was alone but I saw from a afar a boy, same as my age wearing a long black silk covers him.

"I told you she is a freak and looks like she's not the only one." The man with a white beard kvetch about the hustle.

From that day, I realized something...

And that is being peculiar is a disgrace in this society and people throw rocks to the things that shine but they can't take whats we have. The strong wind blows and a poster fell in front of me I get it and read what's it all about.

"Cealum's Circus " Then I saw my mother running.

As soon as she see the poster that I'm holding she grab it and tear it apart and lower her knees and face me. "Remember my words Ahina, remember all my tales."

I hugged her and cried in her arms.
