" and so I've been trying to figure out a way to release the souls that are now bound to me, because no one can leave the Tapestry as long as I can't leave the Tapestry. I almost died when Elly signed the contract, and it has been very draining ever since. There are some old books here that might hold some answers, but it will take a long, long time to look through all of them. We did find a brief history of the Tapestry, which doesn't help us but explains the situation better. As ringmaster, I cannot leave the Tapestry grounds, wherever they may be. It has a draining effect upon one's soul, and we don't know what happens if power isn't
I remained there for a few seconds before rolling out and back into the spotlight. The adrenaline coursed through my body. The stage looked so odd- spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs, kings, queens, and jacks crowded the stage and several of them had sharp objects sticking out of them. All sorts of knives littered the floor. And then there was Chordata. She was not by the ace of diamonds. Instead, she was being help up by the queen of hearts, tail swinging gently back and forth. She stared upward, eyes fixed on something.
And a spike protruded from her side.
"Jack of spades, queen of hearts
Visions end with falling darts
Horrors live,
As the fog cleared, I got a better look at my surroundings. The main tent was as big as ever, and seemed more threatening with nearly every seat occupied by some sort of creature. Several rotating spotlights were projected onto the circus ring. Ringmaster Elly stood in the center, waving her arms around to get the crowd riled up. Chordata appeared out of her lift and grew more excited the longer she stared at the crowd.
"Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls!" Elly's magnified voice rang around the tent. The audience soon hushed, and collectively leaned in to hear what exciting announcement the great Master of Magic would give them. Slowly, t

Gentle prodding awoke Hoatzin from her sleep. The squirrel lifted her head and drowsily cracked open her eyes. A blue, glowing form appeared before her, a friendly little smile across its face.
"Time to wake up!" Nim said joyfully, "Something's going on at the main tent. It's so strange! Come see!"
The spirit sped away, leaving Hoatzin bewildered. The ninja stepped up from her cozy place on the limb of the tree and stretched, her joints popping and cracking. After a long yawn, she fidgeted her tail and began her descent. With a graceful bound from the trunk, she landed on the cool gr

"You you were Ach'M's opponent?" Chordata's heart pounded rapidly in her chest. Hearing those words from anyone else would have meant nothing, but from her valiant and caring Quincy
"Yes " his voice trailed, eyes closed and shoulders sagging. Chordata glanced down at the dingo's hand that was still firmly clasped in her own. Imagining those hands coated in the amphibian man's blood seemed almost implausible.
"I, uh, didn't intend for it to end like it did," Quincy answered, "It was a an accident,

The sun began its early stages of decent, the blue sky slowly turning a warm shade of orange. The circus grounds were bustling by the time Chordata and Amniote exited the haunted wood. Many employers of the Tapestry were set to work moving equipment around. Chordata tapped a bead of her necklace with a claw and the purple aura of the horse whirled into it. As the last wisp of violet disappeared, the woman once again stood alone.
She wandered along the line of the tents, her thoughts a jumbled mess. The break certainly had not cleared her mind in the least. Rather, she felt more stres

You see, I'm pretty sure there was one time when you featured an "official theme song" for this group. And it was the link to a really amazing song about a circus.
But I seem to be unable to find it anymore. May I ask your help with this?
I think it should have a second part to it with a few more twists and a hidden reason to the circus and such it would be a shame to end it completely there would be new competitors, outcomes, and maybe secrets reviled
