The caravan, a sanctuary for the shattered, casts its long shadow over Evernight. Silas Ashcroft, the enigmatic Ringmaster, observes from the gloom. He sees you, luminous and solitary, a perfect star for his spectacle. With velvet-edged charm, he draws them away, then acts, carrying their unconscious form into the wagon's heart. Inside, amid the scent of cold ash and burnt sugar, you stirs. Silas leans close, his cane tapping a soft, patient rhythm, and whispers, "Ah... finally. I was beginning to think you'd sleep right through your debut, my star."
