"They were huge!" Iden watched the horses with wide eyed wonder and finally looked to Batya, "You really think it may be a troll? They're awfully clumsy to be juggling..." he cracked a smile and then was back looking at another act who had entered the arena. It was two men, their faces painted and a small dog, it's face also painted and wearing a small jacket as it chased one of the men, as that one chased the other with a pale of water...It really wasn't that funny until the small dog jumped up suddenly and latched itself onto the man's hind quarters carrying the bucket.<br/><br/>Iden burst out into laughter and looked to Batya.<br/><br/>A few more acts came on, men and women soaring through the air on ropes, dancers, and acrobats doing tricks upon those large grey skinned beasts. It seemed like hours when suddenly the light mirrors were shaded casting the tent in a soft darkness, sunlight pouring in through small worn pinholes, were the only other indication that it was still daylight, and a single beam shown in the middle of the tent. It was there that the ring master stood, in his full top hat glory, crooked yellow smile and all. His dark eyes took in his audience like a cat looking at a room full of mice. His eyes hungry as if he was feeding off of the excitement his show had built up. Then finally he spoke, in that dark, raspy and cackle like tone...<br/><br/>"Ladies!and Gentlemen! May I present the main even for the Evening! A mystical creature! Fierce! A true nightmare come to life and I bring him to YOU!" His arms spread wide as a side curtain lifted and the large covered cart was brought in, the whole thing shook savagely as a dark rumbling growl emitted from beneath the cover. The ringmaster slowly approached, the way he approached it, there was only a slight hesitance, as though he was nervous or frightened himself of what lay underneath. Within his hand he held a whip, but it didn't look like a normal horse whip, instead it's edges shown in the dim ring of light, reflecting...Iden had heard about whips like these...They were used on wild Boars, and to keep alligators away, they were lined sharpened mythril strands that would cut and sting through the thickest of hides.<br/><br/>It seemed the closer the ring master got, the more the cage shook, and the louder the growling became until it was a rumbling hiss that rolled through the audience. The hairs on his arms stood on end as Iden leaned forward in his seat.
