Somewhere in Europe
A hooded figure walks along with the crowd of people. As far as he could they were somewhere in eastern Europe in a clearing in the middle of the woods, at night. Most of the people around him were tourists with a few employees with gas masks leading them. They eventually got to the center of the clearing to see a large tent.
It looked something like a circus tent, except it was grey and black with spikes and fire all over it. By now some of the tourists were getting a little nervous. The invite said the "Greatest Show on Earth", so they were a bit surprised by this turn of events.
"[color=484890]Master whats happening?[/color]" Taytum asked, Shadow promptly turned to her and said "well..... lets see what happens" he then got a big grin on his face and kept walking. When they got to the entrance of the tent which was now starting to look a horror house, the group was stopped by the masked employees. Then a man walked on to a pedestal next to the entrance.
"[color=002E63]Hello ladies and gentlemen welcome to
THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!!![/color]" he said. Shadow just looked on with a blank face, some of tourists started to get scared. He eventually had everyone enter the tent.
Strangely the tent seemed bigger on the inside rather than the outside. The tent was rather circular with seats being all around and a stadium in the middle. Shadow eventually found a seat next to a man in a green shirt. The man leaned over and said "do you know whats going on?" "Not in the least" Shadow replied as he leaned forward.
In the center of the stage was a pedestal and after a few minutes the man came out and stood on it. he had a hat a suit on and a cane in his right hand. He raised his arms and said "[color=002E63]welcome....
TO THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!!! HAHAHA!!![/color]". "Didnt he just say that?" the green shirt man said, Shadow just shrugged. After that things came from behind the seats it looked like people except they were grey and looked like they had decomposed. They started eating the other people around them. Shortly after the employees drew knifes and started killing anyone near them.
They had done a weapons search but they hadnt done it good enough. Shadow still had his 9mm handgun, he shot a couple of employees and creatures before he jumped onto the stage. At this point there were still a few tourists in the stadium alive. Thats when the suited man started having fun.
His cane at the end of it had a small knife. With it he literally teleported and slit the throat of every tourist easily. When he got to Shadow however Shadow was able to catch it. Shadow then said "Taytum.... transform...." Taytum had somehow made it down in all the chaos and instantly transformed in a sword.
Shadow caught the sword and swung at the suited man but was easily blocked by the cane. The suited man just smiled and proceeded to have a duel of sorts with Shadow. Back and forth back and forth. After a while the man said "[color=002E63]This was fun but now im bored of this....[/color]", with that the man was suddenly behind him. He went for the knee first cutting it and making him kneel a second. Even with his speed he couldnt keep up with the man eventually Shadow was on the ground breathing heavily.
He could see his Taytum on the ground to far to reach. Then a shadow cast over his hooded face, he looked up to see the suited man looking down at him. "[color=002E63]That was fun...[/color]" he said as he reach down and pulled Shadow up. "[color=002E63]hmmm so you know the crew of the Rising Dawn?[/color]" he said, Shadow looked at him and said "how did yo..". The man raised his hand and said "[color=002E63]I can read your thoughts....[/color]". "[color=002E63]Your crewmates i might call them, are in danger....[/color]" he said to Shadow. "[color=002E63]Here for keeping me entertained so much heres a gift...[/color]", he then stabbed Shadow's hand and stood back. Shadow yelled out in pain and fell to his knees. he looked at his hand only to see it glowing. The light got brighter and brighter until he clenched his fist the light faded and he saw a symbol on his hand
"Interesting...." Shadow muttered as he looked at the symbol. He then felt a sensation in his hand and a flash of light he looked back and he was about 15 feet away from where he just was.
"[color=002E63]Well now time for you to go if we meet again you can call me jake[/color]" Jake said fast as he walked up to him in a brisk pace and touched his forehead. Shadow saw a flash of light.
In the real world or some shit like that....
He found himself lying on some grass looking at the sky. He looked over and saw Taytum nearby. "That was strange" he muttered as he stood up and looked around. He was in the middle of the forest and the tent was gone. But for some reason he felt something had changed. He woke Taytum and then they walked off in a random direction.
