Ebony fights to survive. Whether they wander the streets, or perform in a circus, they are determined to live. And, being a Pyro, they're given a choice at a young age: Work for a Ringerleader, or die by the teeth of the monarchy. But, despite the hype, they're never actually asked to light it up. Just "Keep your head down." So, Ebony grows up, befriends an invincible boy and a water-controlling psychic, and mostly enjoys their life in the cirque... up until everything goes wrong. The Kings and Queens of Eb's world ask them to perform for the world, and even after yearning for this opportunity for years, they fear the worst: Bad performers get bad endings. And something told Eb that tricks weren't the only thing the Sovereigns wanted them to do. *New update(s?) due whenever these days.

Empowered

As the narrator, I'm tempted to simply write "Middle Finger" because that is essentially what you'll feel like I'm giving you in telling this story. However, for the sake of not being a complete dick, I'll write a little more than just a description of a disrespectful gesture. This story can aptly be described as crude and deranged. As you may have surmised, a crazy person will be telling this story, and the characters involved are indeed also all crazy in their own special ways. So, given this exercise in mental illness, the topics touched on (in no particular order) in this tale are destruction, death, superpowered wackos, torture, pain, loneliness, chaos, the will to survive, never giving up, giving up and not giving a shit, the desire to protect, failing to protect and causing more trouble than was already present, disappointing and/or abusive parental figures, bullies, unjust punishments, just punishments, racism, violent and usually superpowered fights, sci-fi gadgets, bitterness, sarcasm, twisted and demented comedy, control or lack thereof, weird and awkward high school drama, lies and brainwashing, alien aggression, moral ambiguity, unhinged villains, fantastical weapons, a piece of shit main character, conditional friendship, a fuck load of musical references, anger, fear, depression, extra-dimensional creatures, godly powers, various esoteric connections, pop culture references, and of course, in general, superpowers.
