Forsaken Barrows... One of the isolated places of Bermesiah... The place is still the same, except that there are no monsters to be found. It's very dark, only a little amount of moonlight lits the whole place because of the clouds that cover the moon. Tall dead trees are everywhere, giving the whole place a ghastly effect. I sat down underneath a tree, thinking about the area where the circus' located.

...

I stood in a wide room with nothing but infinite darkness. Black covered everything. Not a trace of exit can be found. I tried moving my arms to see if I'm still alive. Anger began to build up inside me after noticing that I'm still breathing normally. "What did those clowns did to me? Is this another one of their tricks? Did they threw my unconscious body in this room?" no answer. Silence. I ran everywhere, trying to find an exit to this place. Minutes passed... and I'm still running. "I'm getting nowhere..." I didn't felt any pain. The heaviness of my heart disappeared, and was replaced by a normal beating. "Finally..." a smile crept on my lips, realizing that I'm dead. This is only my soul travelling at the very depths of darkness.

The relaxing silence was torn apart like a piece of paper being cut into half. Voices? "You fool..." an unfamiliar voice said in a hushed whisper. The whisperings stopped, and was replaced by loud voices. "No! Please..." tears formed at the corner of my eyes. When will I come to the part of my life that I'm living in peace? "P-please... stop this..." the voices grew louder and I ended up falling down on my knees while clutching my ears.

"Worthless piece of trash!"

"Is that all?"

"That's so pathetic!"

My clutching ended up in nothing. I can still hear the voices shouting at me. Their voices rang inside me like bells. The kind of bells that never ends itself from tolling. No one saved me in this kind of state. They all just stared and yelled at me. Those harsh cold eyes that I see every time I meet new people, they're staring at me again. Young or old, they're just equal. No one bothered me in this kind of suffering. They enjoyed seeing me suffer, like those clowns...

"NO!" I suddenly shot my head up. Sweat formed on my forehead and neck, heart racing in an endless road. Gasping for air, I looked at my surroundings. It was dark, but I managed to see some items belonging to the circus. Everything was dark, with a slight hue of purple. "A... A dream?" I questioned myself aloud, still gasping for air.

My vision cloudy, I curled up into a tight ball, crying silently. "I was already living in peace... My pain was already gone... But it's just a dream... A nightmare..." When will I attain peace? I asked myself again. Do I have to live for the rest of my life here? Do I have to experience the true meaning of isolation? Do I have to experience pain forever? There must be an answer to these...


...

My eyes stared at the moon hidden in the dark clouds. From its position, it's already 1:00 late morning. "Don't even think I'm a hopeless person right now..." I murmured, anger in my voice. The wind blew fiercely all of the sudden, short silver hair flying gently from the gust. I stood up, taking my last glance of the moon. "because I'm not the hopeless child you knew so well anymore..." the last words that came out of my mouth before I started running in deadly speed.

While running, I asked myself. Did the place changed? Did they find another child for them to play 'The Sadistic Game'? Whoever that child is, I won't let him experience the same way I was treated before... "You'll regret this..." the words only double my speed.

...

"Wake up!" I gasped, raising my tear-stained face to look at a large clown. I'm scared of this one... He's very big and muscular. The red and white striped top showed off his large muscles. I always see him carrying this large hammer with a red spring at the end instead of a hard metal. "Why are you crying?" my breathing turned to gasps, hearing his harsh voice. Fear was building up inside me, for I was in for another punishment.

I bowed my head again, not minding what he'll do to me. "I'm asking you a question!"
"SO?! What's the point of answering your question if you're going to punish me because of crying?!" this is certainly the first time I shouted to the clowns. My teeth gritted themselves tight as I stared at the white eyes of the man in anger. "Just kill me! Punishments are nothing if you're aiming to see me dead!"

"Why you..." the man charged at me. I felt nothing, however. I just watched him walk close to me before he grabbed my collar. Without another thought, his large fist landed on my stomach. "You'll soon know why we're doing this to you." another fist landed on my face this time.

The man threw me on the ground. Blood was already escaping my lips. Before I knew it, the door was closed and the clown was gone. Tears came out of my eyes again as I curled up into a tight ball. "Please... Someone end this all... I'm so tired of being punished over and over again..." more tears escaped from my eyes as I spoke every word.


...

I suddenly stopped dead on my tracks. Did I just hear some voices afar? "Come on, you can do better than that!" one of the clown's voice... They have another victim! He stopped speaking and there was a sudden eruption of 'boo' coming from the audience.

Remembering the reason I came here, I followed the voices, until they grew louder and louder. It wasn't long when I entered a village. Things hasn't changed huh? It's still a very big and busy village. I walked past several houses, looking around to see if someone's out here. "I guess everyone's asleep." I said as I continued to observe some houses. But those voices, they're really loud. Could it be that they're still watching a performance?

"Boo!"

That's the only answer to my question. I decided to run and look for the circus tent. This is a pretty big village so I'll have a difficult time looking around. Not to mention their voices are really loud. I'll have a rough time following my instincts in this...

20 minutes later...

"Finally..." I gazed at the purple and black striped tent. Maybe I should rest for a while before I cut off the light source and massacre the clowns. Seeing a house nearby, I jumped to the rooftop and sat down, sapphire orbs gazing at the moon. I wonder what'll be the villagers' reaction once they see the clowns without a head... Surely, they'll be angry but a nice threat about doing them what I did to the clowns won't hurt.

...

"No! You cannot get him!" the ringmaster boomed outside. Curious, I raised my head and looked around. There are voices outside? Suddenly, a woman's voice spoke. It doesn't hear the same like the female clown. What is she doing here? And what does the ringmaster meant by his remark?

"I'm sorry. I cannot do that." the female chanted something in a foreign tongue then there was a loud shout outside. 5 seconds passed until the loud groans died down, I heard someone unlocking the door. Who is it? The visitor? What is she planning to do to me?
Before I could ask another question to myself, I curled into a tight ball as a young woman opened the door. My heart was beating frantically but seeing her gentle smile somehow relaxes me from the commotion earlier. "Hi there little one~. What are you doing sitting alone here?" she asked in a kind voice. I opened my mouth to say something but the words died in my throat. "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt a poor boy like you." she held her hand in front of me then the choker suddenly fell on the ground, broken. I gasped.

"Come with me, I'll take care of you." she smiled. I felt relaxed but the fear inside me still won't let go. Am I walking into something that is hazardous? But she's so kind to me... I shouldn't think of things like this to her. I stood up from the ground and walked carefully to her side. "Poor you... To think those clowns maltreated you." I felt her hand stroke the top of my head.

"I'll make sure your strength returns." I raised my head and found her holding a small bottle filled with yellow liquid. "Drink this, it'll make you feel better. Trust me." she placed the open bottle on my small hands. I did as I was told, and drank the remains of the bottle. I gasped in shock when I saw my wounds heal. I tried punching my stomach lightly and felt nothing. "So, what do you feel?" the woman asked while taking the bottle off my hands.

"The... pain suddenly disappeared..." I replied to her question.

She chuckled softly then took my hand. "By the way, call me KazeAze. I'll be taking you away from this place to my castle located at Ellia Continent." I looked at her green orbs in horror. She smiled sweetly then said, "But don't worry, I'll really take good care of you. Trust me. What's your name anyway?"

"L-Lass... I'm Lass..." a small smile crept on my face, which brightened Lady KazeAze's face even more. I could tell she's really happy.

"Nice to meet you Lass. Let's go now. You'll see that these clowns will never show themselves to you again." I smiled wide. The feeling is unexplainable. I'm so happy that I'm freed from my prison and I'll taken care by Lady KazeAze. We walked passed the clowns and I couldn't help but feel angry to them. "Don't mind them Lass. They're 'sleeping'."

"I don't want to see them again. They treated my whole 10 years of living a miserable one..." I went closer to the woman and felt one of her arms encircle my shoulder. This feeling, it's protective and warm... A feeling that I haven't felt in my whole life.

"Then you'll live well under me. I'll give you the power to destroy these clowns if ever they came back to your life." Killing a person sounds really awful. I don't know what to say to Lady KazeAze... Even if these clowns maltreated me, I don't have the strength to kill them. "So, what do you say?" but now, I think all of it will change... I think killing an someone sounds really good.

"I'll go with you..." even if it means on killing the persons who had been very harsh throughout my whole life.


...

"And now's the time to strike." I chuckled, standing at the roof and gazing at the large tent. It's still filled with villagers but I don't care killing them. Because they're also a part of making my whole childhood a painful one. I jumped from the rooftop and dashed to the back of the tent. "Bingo." my eyes spotted the source of electricity: a large generator that looks like the one at the Grand Chase Mansion, which is created by Mari. Seeing the wires connected to it, I threw several kunais at its direction, thus darkening the insides of the tent. I smirked upon hearing the loud panicked screams of the people inside.
