Jester - A short story by M0CCAS
Beware the jester's bells, for they crown a kingdom's fall.
Avaria Espoir lives in the poorest part of Adamo; Aride. In Aride, people wander the streets, starving and feral while the rich live their privileged, secluded lives inside the castle walls of the Palace Town, blissfully unaware of the mess a few feet away from them, through the heavy concrete walls.
When Avaria is chosen as the next Jester to please the vapid princess, she is put to the test to win her life back, and some revenge too.. Will Ava succeed in her task, or will she join the many previous jesters before her who have been put to the death?
