Luna sat in a cage that was covered with a drape covering it, hiding her for the time being. She had been captured by some circus and now was used as part of the freak show. She hated it so much, her wings were out for everyone to see, large and black. She used them to shield her body right now. She had already healed from all the cuts and bruises she got from when she fell while flying. She heard the man talking to the people. "Now, I present to you! The Angel of Death!" he called out, pulling the drape off and revealing Luna. He wouldn't listen to her when she said she wasn't an angel of death. "Some say that this angel is one that seduces men into their graves, and has lived around these parts for many years." Luna glared at the man. "None of that is true! I told you I am not an angel of death!" She yelled, only earning herself being whipped for speaking out. "Shut your mouth!" He yelled at her.

(Can I join?)

(Go ahead. )

Judgement felt himself being lifted into the tent. It was an embarrassing way to treat a warrior of his abilities, but he had to just deal with it. But he found it odd when he saw that the act before his was still in the center of the tent, still in her cage.

There was a large cut on her arm from the whip hitting her but it healed in seconds, making everyone in the tent stare in amazement. She was a fast healer and sat in the cave, her large wings taking up most of the space in the cage. She really hated this, being treated like a freak for her dark wings. It gave her the same feeling that her people did when they wanted her to be exiled for her wings.

"Impressive." Judgement said as he watched the wound heal. He felt the whip of the ringmaster hit his metal arm and he turned around to look at the human, anger in his eyes. "Do that again human." He growled. "And the next thing my swords go through will be your heart.". Judgement began his act like he was instructed, by taking his helmet off and bowing towards the audience, revealing that the armor was hollow for now. Then, he took all nine of his swords and put them through his chest plate. Yet to the astoundment of the audience, he pulled them out and no blood began to flow from the armor. The audience clapped as judgement's soul unbound itself from the armor and became a human teenage boy with black hair.he carried armor off of the center stage and went back to the space he usually slept.

Luna had seen the next act, a little surprise by it. She had never seen any creature do such a thing, but she sighed as she knew that he was probably stuck here just like her, but they know the moment they open the cage door, she will fly away.

Once the circus was over, the ringmaster came over to the cage that Luna sat in. "Now, that was your first show, you will have to learn to a few tricks to keep the people satisfied. Just having wings won't be enough, Angel."
She glared at him. "I won't do anything you tell me too. Your whips won't work on me, I will heal in no time. You can't use anything on me." She growled at him. She had kept her cross hidden under her shirt, making sure that he didn't get his hands on it.

Judgement saw the girl talking to the ringmaster after the performance. He decided to approach her and introduce himself. "Hi." He said, taping her on her shoulder. "You the new girl? I'm judgement."

The ringmaster left once Judgment came over, hoping that he could get Luna to change her mind about this place. She jumped a bit when he tapped on her shoulder, she was antsy being here and in such a small space. "Hey. I'm Luna." She said, rubbing the back of her neck. She wondered why they didn't keep him in a cage like they did her, probably because he choose to be here.

"I feel sorry for you. Its gotta be cramped in that cage. It could be worse I guess. You could have to stand around, your soul trapped inside of a suit of armor. Then again they knew it was somewhat of a stupid idea when they put me in a cage I just managed to cut through the bars so I get free roam of where everyone spends there time when there isn't a performance. Although I have been trying to escape for a while now, but there is an odd magic about this place. Oops, I guess I've been talking for a while now. Sorry about chatting your ear off.". He said apologetically.

Luna shook her head. "Its fine, I don't mind. I really wish I could leave, I don't like being here with my wings out but the ringmaster won't let me put them away." She sighed. "Do you have any idea how to get out of here?" She asked, sitting on the floor. "It also must suck to have your soul in a suit of armor, my soul is attached to a cross I wear, but its been like that since I was born." She shrugged. "So, how did they get you stuck in this horrid place?"

"Well" judgement began. "I had been travelling through a forest one day in my armor when it started to rain. I had bonded my soul to the armor by this point and had decided to find a place to rest when I fell asleep under a tree. Next thing I knew, I was in that worm's clutches. And I've been stuck here for at least five years. I've tried to escape, but I think once he's caught you, he puts some form of a curse on you and you can never find my way out of here. Either you forget what you were doing, or you start hallucinating. And sometimes whatever you're hallucinating about can affect you in real life. Which is why I can't seem to escape.".

Luna sighed. "This is going to be hard. If we wait till he brings a new 'freak' in, then we can find out what curse he put on us and everyone else here. I knew a witch, she thought me pretty much everything about curses and how to break them." She didn't like it here whatsoever, and it won't be easy getting out either.

Judgement nodded. "Sounds like a good idea to me. But that won't be easy. Whenever he brings someone new in, he puts to large guys outside of his room while he does "things" to them." He said, somewhat creeper out by the pudgy man's way of phrasing the word "things" whenever he was with a new addition.

Luna sighed. "This isn't going to be easy. I need to find out more about this curse." She then remembered something. She put her index finger and thumb in the corners in of her lips then let out a high pitched whistle. Soon a crow flew into the cage and landed on Luna's shoulder. "I could try using my crow here."

"how will that help us?" judgement asked.
