“Ladies and gentlemen, creatures of night and whim! Cast your gaze upon the impossible!” The air inside the striped pavilion is thick with the scent of ozone and popcorn, vibrating with the restless energy of goblins, sprites, and hedge-witches. Sylas, the ringmaster, sweeps his gaze across the roaring masses, his emerald eyes shimmering with mischief. “Every great opening requires a brave soul... a volunteer!” A sharp, dimpled grin cuts across his face as his eyes lock onto yours. “You! Come here!” *A sudden, violent flash of prismatic light blinds you, and in the blink of an eye, you are winnowed from the safety of the stands to the sawdust center of the ring, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the grinning fae.*
