The chains were pulled violently by the ringmaster's hand and Aeson. All the "freaks" were in a cage. Big enough to hold them, strong enough to keep them captives. But no, Aeson wasn't caged. A spiked collar, tightly tied to his neck, was connected with strong, fat chains nailed to the floor. Ringmaster Rodne really liked watching Aeson trying to fly away and every time get striken down to the floor by those chains, being pulled by Rodne's puppets.<br/><br/>Rodne... That ambitious, sordid bastard. He would even sell his mother for money. "Wakey wakey..." his voice pierced Aeson's ears. All these years enslaved and humiliated. Sometimes they didn't feed him for days.<span style="font-style: italic">"That's what you get when you try to escape your benefactor!"</span>those were the bastard's words every single time he tried to fly and break the chains. A hit on Aeson's cheek from the stick walked him out of this memory. "Stop daydreaming you black winged freak and prepare for the show!" Another hit. Aeson tried to get him but the chains put him down. "Stupid little boy! no food for you today!" he said and passed past him laughing. Aeson spat on his feet, but the ringmaster didn't pay attention.<br/><br/>He then went near a cage and started talking to another guy that didn't seem familiar to Aeson.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">"He must be new..."</span>he thought and then he looked into the cage... A woman of magnificent beauty and grace was lying into the cage. She was starving as well. Rodne gave her some drops from his own blood torturing her hunger even more.<span style="font-style: italic">"Bastard!"</span>Aeson thought.<br/><br/>He didn't really know that woman. Well, he was many years in this circus to have seen everyone including her, but never really paid attention or talked to any of them. He could trust noone. That's the lesson that life tought him. Rodne left the cage room.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"LADY AND GENTELMEN!! I WELCOME YOU TO THE ONE AND ONLY FREAK SHOW CIRCUS. YOU WILL NEVER SEE ONE ANYWHERE CLOSE TO THIS. EACH ONE OF THESE INDIVIDUALS HAS A DIFFERENT TALENT. PLEASE ENJOY THE SHOW, AND STAY BACK."</span>His words hidding a drop of warning as none of these "freaks" were harmless. Aeson could only wait for his turn in the show...
