Everyday I was part of the same act for the Paniye Circus Troupe. I would stand out in the center stage, entertaining the many Arcanian visitors. They would laugh and clap when the bears would dance on their balls, lions roaring and jumping. The lizards would behave as if they were gentlemen and bow to the guests. The fuego's and jackies twirled in firey circles, the audience "oohing" and "ahhing" at the spectacular work. I used to love this but lately, I grow tired of this same day to day experience. I found an ancient book one day in the audience stands. It was very dark,evil magic. Hiding it in my coat, I hurry back to my changing room. I start to read a few chapters outloud and hear sudden screams and wails from the animals. The Lions, Bears, Chameleons, Fuegos and Jackies were covered in black tendrils of smoke. They were hissing and acting outrageously different than usual. A voice in my mind tells me to start the Troupe acts early. I go to my assistants rooms. Pome, Roszak, and Whippa were also very very different. I tell them of wanting to start the Troupe early and they oddly agreed. Pome asked if he could entertain the children. I agree and let him do so. Then i realized what had happened. I had turned my entire troupe evil. Instead of remorse i feel glee. After that last event, no one dared to enter the troupe. My animals killed the audience. Pome turned the children into mindless puppets, Whippa commanded the vicious beasts that were once lovable, Roszak reflected his victims' attacks with his new dark power, and I became the ruler of the Troupe. Let the Madness continue!

Long time ago, there was a man.
Strong, handsome and rich.
Living in a country, lonely as hell.
He got bored of his life as it is.

So he joined a troup of weird people,
living in a big tent and working there.
His name was Payasco, Payasco the greatest
and he learned about the people as much as he could:

Pome was a sparkly man,
with a painted face and some ugly pants.
Whippa was a kinky person,
using his whip with vengeance on women.
Rozzak was the strangest of all,
using a mirror to reflect someones downfall.

Payasco ignored them as far as he could.
But one day he saw a woman, worth of him like she should.
So he went out to woo her, giving his best.
She fell for him and swore faithfullness.

One day she met his companions with coincidence,
and was enarmoured with all of them at once.
They made her miss an engagement with Payasco,
so he went out looking for her, this soon would be followed by a fiasco.

When he saw all of them laughing like crazy,
his mind snapped and he turned to a furious daisy.
The enemys proclaimed defeat when they saw him,
and declared him the "Evil ruler of circus" to calm him.

The Story of How Did Payaso Became The Evil Ruler Of Circus( A Play)

Narrator: Once upon a time there were 4 Rusty clowns, Payaso,Pome(the puppeteer),Whippa(the animal trainer),and Roszak. All of them have there own area of there circus Act. All humans upset 1 boy Prince Shilly never knew the legendary tale of the 4 rusty clowns

Shilly: Good morning papa and mama.
Pa and Mama: Good morning son.
Shilly: Going out, ill be home later tonite.
Papa: Take this book of magic, make sure the sorcerer gets it by tonite, its for Totoro.
Shilly: Yes Papa.
Narrator: Shilly rushes to the Shebuz Snowfield where he practices his fighting skills. Where Shilly was goin, he never knew that the book of spell was so valuable to Totoro.
Shilly: Oh My God, i drop the book of magic spells!
Payaso: (evil look and creepy smile) Hi there little boy, u drop something?...
Shilly: yes i did,now give it back!
Payaso: (Evil Look) What ever drops in my circus area is MINE!!!
Shilly: My name is Prince Shilly if u dont give it back this instant im a have to hurt you.
Payaso: Is that so, Well eat this staff of mine. (WOOSH WOOSH WING)
Narrator: Payaso cast a spell on Prince shilly, Prince shilly was hurt.
Payaso jumped as it was really surprised, never knew his spell was strong.
Payaso took the book of magic spells into his circus, Shilly was hurt, good thing he brought some antidote. Shilly made it far enough away from the Circus Area, luckly an Assassin named Color and a young beautiful High Priest named I3unny found him lying in the tall green grass.
Color: Prince Shilly is badly hurt.
I3unny: yes he is, go report this to King Sedy and Queen Galadriel right away.

Narrator: since Roszak is turned into a black cat, he had no choice but to chase after Prince shilly to regain his full self again. Payaso ordered Pome and Whippa to Find Prince Shilly, If they refused Payaso well turned them into Cats...Pome and Whippa challenges Payaso into a duel 2vs1. Payaso won the duel, Whippa was turned into a brown cat, Pome was turned into a purple cat.
Payaso: I'll turn u 2 back to yourselves again wen u bring me that little prince to me.
Pome: Meow....

King Sedy: Color as i herd from my messenger is it true that my Boy Shilly was Hurt?
Color: Yes Your Majesty! Me and High Priest I3unny found him lying in the tall green grasses near the forest.
King Sedy: I dont know if its true or not but legends ago rumors i've herd there were 4 rusty clowns living in that forest trying to seek the Legendary book of magic spells. If its true about the legends of the 4 rusty clowns we all might be in danger.
Color: While i was carrying Prince Shilly to a safe area he keeps saying, "dont let the clown get away with my book of magic spells.

Payaso uses 1 of its 3 powerful spells to reunite the circus area to become one whole circus house. By doing so he uses a spell skill called,(Current Blow Up) to shake the ground and shift the circus area. Payaso turned all 3 of them back to there selves again and told them to go to there circus act area. Payaso knew that there well be others coming to get the prince and the high priest and the magic book of spells, but Payaso never told to the other 3 clowns about it. Payaso didnt want to tell the other 3 cus once the other 3 are killed payaso have the power to summon them and use there magical spells and become the Evil Ruler of Circus...

Narrator: As the guardians step into the next circus room they didnt notice there were canons. Totoro was to furious he wanted to find shilly and high priest I3unny that he didnt look, a canon shot a missle towards him, luckyly Color was to fast for the missles to go even near Totoro, Color defused all the missles and re targeted the missles back to the canons. Those werent the only clown stuff in that room, Whippa is a animal trainer.

Narrator: as the guardians defeats 1 of Payaso's pet, Payaso becomes stronger and stronger...
After defeating Whippa they knew that behind that door well be more different monsters and a new clown awaits them. By wasting no time they all rush into the next room, Color dashes through quickly as he was silenced by an acrobat jackie, he reinforced the others to be careful cus once ur silenced no spells can be cast.

Narrator: After doing what prince shilly told Totoro to do the magic book of spells turned into the most powerful staff (THE BLOODLETTER'S CRIMSON STAVE)which only the real sorcerer can grasp and used its legendary powers. Long last Totoro have found its Staff and its power. Payaso became the ruthless Evil Ruler of circus by letting its clown friends suffer the pain and gaining there powers, but by doing that even though he summon them and use there powers, they are still no match for Totoro and its Bloodletter's Crimson Stave, and the other guardians help,(Color,Bunny,Riki,Divi,Ninima,I3unny,and Prince Shilly). Once Again The Town of Terminus is At Peace.

How Did Payaso become the Evil Ruler of Circus?

Everyone always teased our guild. We were never a strong or a very big guild but no one ever wanted to join us, calling us freaks! We had dreams and hopes too… just like anyone. No one ever accepted us. Only the 4 of us understood each other’s pain. The 4 of us decided to do something no other has ever thought of, not even those GMs! We travelled to Shebuz Snowfield and we built the biggest Marquee we could. Pome as our Fighter, Whippa as our Rogue and Roszak as our Ranger. Then there is me, the guild leader. They call me Payaso and I’m the highest level in the guild being the great level 18 Rogue, and yes our guild only has 4 members and the guild is known as Paniya Circus Troupe!

I told Whippa and Pome to collect animals for our Circus, I gave them the simplest task and even then they managed to mess up somehow. I asked for Shabby and Destroyed Dolls, Brown Bears, Lizards and some Lions, It’s not that hard is it? But apparently it’s not that easy to come by Lions or dolls in Arcana., I also asked Roszak to build us some Cannons which he did but obviously I had to do some touch ups and make them stop self-exploding. It was beginning to get hard to cover up all the holes he was creating. I was afraid the GMs would start asking us questions since we never got permission to build this Marquee. Once it’s built and functional there is no way the GMs will shut us down! We will trick other adventurers into our Paniya Circus Troupe which will lead them into death! Our revenge on everyone that bullied us or harmed us will be brilliant!

“Roszak thinks he has mastered the Cannons Payaso” Roszak says. I hate how he talks in 3rd person but that’s Roszak for you.
“Let me have a look, we can’t have you making anymore holes” I say to him.
“Roszak makes no more holes, Roszak has learned.”
“Let me see then,” I say to him.
Roszak takes me to where he’s set up the cannons but before I can even get close they automatically target me and knock me out. When I respawn Roszak is there disarming his auto-targeting cannons.
“Wait, don’t change them” I say quickly, Roszak stares at me probably waiting for me to yell at him.
“We can use them, good job” I say
“Roszak did something right?” He says more pleased than shocked.

I tell Roszak to hide the cannons somewhere then I go try find Pome and Whippa who are taking an extraordinary long time just to find some stupid dolls and lions. I find them in Altus Gorge trying to dye Snowy fur Bears brown. They somehow managed to find a Mage bored enough to heal them. While they tried to pour brown dye over the very angry bears, the Mage kept aggroing the bears with her healing so she’d run around in circles with the group of bears chasing her. Pome and Whippa never noticed me watching them so I decided to just leave them. I might as well find the rest myself. I travel to Shrouded Valley and sneak my way into Frozen Nest. I catch as many lizards as I can with cages Roszak made.

It takes us about 15 days to get everything we need for our Circus, Pome made all his dolls, Whippa found pigs and puts them in cages, Roszak made a train track around his area and I made the most amazing Centre Stage where no one will ever be able to upstage me.

We tricked people into entering our Circus with cute coloured cat mounts, it worked a charm. We got our revenge. The GMs contacted us and turned us into magical Circus creatures, Our Paniya Circus Troupe was an utter hit and a few months later the GMs asked us to build an even harder level for the higher level adventurers, everyone loves our Circus.
My guild is finally noticed.

A long time ago there were four Circus trainers known as, Pome, Whippa, Roszak and Payaso. Pome was the youngest, Whippa was the second youngest, Roszak was the middle child and Payaso was the eldest. They were all constantly getting knocked out and laughed at because they couldn’t defend the Circus treasure and how weak everyone is. The leader Payaso was getting fed up from getting beat up on and being broke and how weak his Circus is. He was desperate… so he left the Circus to go on a journey to find some sort of spell or potion in hopes it’ll make him and his minions stronger. A short while after, He came across a mysterious person that was known as a GM, The GM said to Payaso ‘If you want to be stronger and punish everyone that has ever abused you and stole from your Circus, Listen to me!’ Payaso was stunned because he has no idea how this GM knew about everyone abusing him and his Circus, but he agrees to listen. The GM said ‘I will grant you and all of your Circus magical powers that’ll make you extremely evil and powerful as long as you make me one promise! You must not let anyone get past you and get to your treasure!’ Payaso does not want to become evil but he has no other option.. so he agrees and says, ‘Yes, I understand’ The GM sent Payaso on his way home and says ‘When you and your circus wakes up tomorrow morning, You will feel a strange sensation going through your body. As Payaso turns around to ask the mysterious GM one last question, he sees no one there, Payaso thinks to himself… ‘Did I hallucinate that? Ugh I need to get back to my Circus and rest’ When Payaso arrives back, Pome, Whippa, and Roszak are thrilled and ask Payaso if he has good new’ Payaso simply shakes his head and says ‘no… lets just goto bed and we’ll figure out what to do in the morning’ They all hang their heads low and crawl into bed. The next morning Payaso calls everyone to meet at the final stage. When everyone arrives they all notice the evil grin on everyone. Roszak, Whippa, and Pome all ask ‘Why do we feeling like killing!?’ Payaso thinks to himself, ‘It must have been real!!’ he then begins to explain the promise he made with this so called ‘GM’ Then Payaso says to everyone ‘This is our time now!’ They all start to laugh hysterically and yell ‘It’s time for revenge!!’ Payaso then yells, ‘You must all stop everyone that enters this Circus from killing me and getting to our treasure!’ Roszak, Whippa and Pome all go running off to their stages with an evil laugh. As they all run off Payaso yells ‘We will call this, the new, Hard CIRCUS!!’

The End~

My father is called Payaso. His dream was to entertain people and create an atmosphere where there will be happiness and joy. He was a kind gentleman who loved it when people smiled.
But, there was a day where that dream shattered and reality became real.
This was when Payaso became the evil circus leader!
My mother died when I was young. She named me Nakahara because I was the “center” of her world. My father had to take care of me all by himself thereafter and we traveled around until we came across a circus.
The circus was filled with many interesting people. There were 3 circus leaders: Pome, Whippa, and Roszak. These three were very eccentric and there was something off about them, mostly the second one. He was extremely puffy for someone who was just 24 years old.
My father decided to stay here and travel with them since he found it a great place to make others happy. A few months later Whippa came into the tent my father and I shared and introduced to us a woman who looked (in my opinion) like a monkey.
She was short and fat but had a great smile. Payaso instantly took a liking to her and they started to meet frequently. One day I was left alone with her and the woman suddenly farted!!
The smell was so putrid that I was paralyzed and couldn’t move. She then came closer to me and grinned. Her teeth were as sharp as a pair of knives and her breath just…stank.
She reeked of rotten milk. Her stench was so foul that I fainted.
I woke up in a pitch black tent. When I was fully awake I noticed that I was tied up and in an unfamiliar place. Whippa suddenly came in and gave me a baleful look.
I glared at him and asked, “Why am I here? What are you up to, you fat lard?!”
That caused him to sneer at me and grin. “I’m just following orders. Now I don’t regret it, stupid kid…you’ve been annoying since day one! With those pointed elf ears of yours and that darn smile. You think you’re better than us? Well, screw you!”
He then left and my father came in a few moments afterward. He had this wild look to him that caused me to retract back a little bit.
“You aren’t my child! HOW DARE YOU TRICK ME!?”
“Father! What are you talking about?! I AM your daughter!! What have they told you??”
“You kidnapped her and hid her away. Whippa just found her and brought her to me; Sophia is such a kind girl. She looks more like me than you do, that is how I know!”
“You mean that monkey girl?! What is wrong with you father? I am your daughter, I’ve always been. Why do you believe them and not me?” I cried.
“Don’t give me those false tears! You are forever banished from this circus! Don’t show your face in front of me again.”
Payaso then walked out of the tent and left me there to cry and beg. Sophia entered and untied me, smirking and puffing something from her mouth into my face at the same time.
I fainted yet again. When I woke up I found myself in an abandoned wagon and near Terminus.
Till this day I do not know what happened to my father, but I do know that he was brainwashed. Now he ravages the town and everyone in it; causing havoc where he walks.
That man is not the man that I know.
He is a monster.

Dear Payaso,

It’s been a long time.

Do you remember when we chased the pigs in your mother’s farm? We both tripped over ugly roots sticking out of the ground. You lost the pig, and your mother practically yelled at you for scaring the animals. Your mother told you to keep the rest of the pigs locked up in cages as a punishment to you. I wonder if you still keep pigs in cages. I hope you’re not doing it to keep that memory of me, are you? You better not be. Let those pigs go free.

Do you remember when you stole my dolls and accidentally dropped them in the stream in the forest? I was so mad at you for that. You know I loved those dolls. They were presents from my daddy, and yet you still wanted to torture me. I know you never meant to drop them in the water. You told me you would find them one day. Did you ever find them? I miss those little rag dolls.

Do you remember when your father died and you bought circus animals with your inheritance? I remember your mother hollering and screaming at you, mad at how you wasted the money your father left for you. I remember she made you cry. “Don’t cry, Payaso.” I must have said that twenty times to you. You begged me to help you train those animals to ride bikes and do little tricks. I wonder if you’re still training them after all those scratches and bruises we got from trying to get them to obey. I still am happy that we had so much fun, no matter how painful it was. What were you trying to prove back then, Payaso?

Do you remember when you met your best friends? What were there names again? Pome, Whippa, and Roszak? I think those were the names. I remember the four of you sitting at a table in college, spewing out ideas about a grand circus. You always wanted to be a circus leader, didn’t you? Whenever they saw me sit next to you, they would tease you and make kissing sounds at you. “Oh, Payaso, your lovely girlfriend, Nana, is here!” the boys would all squeal. You would blush and look away from me. I think you beat up Whippa after he tried to ask me out. How long ago was that? Twenty years?

I remember your first circus. Pome, Whippa, Roszak, and you were all so excited, dressing up in cute outfits. You even brought all those animals you bought so many years ago. You dragged me into your little tent that you had set up and practically forced me to sit down on the chair. You just had to ask me, Payaso. Of course I would watch your circus. I always loved to see you happy. It was the cutest circus performance I had ever seen. You even asked me out after. “Nana, go out with me!” I noticed you freaking out when I didn’t say a word. You know I was going to say yes. I was just shocked.

I remember when you got down on one knee and proposed to me. It was after you had a huge circus performance with a lot of people attending. You took me by the waterfall near the tents and got down on one knee. It was just the two of us in the middle of the night. The boys were all sleeping, and the audience was already gone. What was my answer, Payaso? I can barely remember now.

I remember our wedding. It was in your circus right? You made it an event in the circus show. Come one! Come all! Watch as the great Circus Troupe Leader marries the love of his life! I was in a white circus leader outfit that you had made custom for me. Circus Leader and his wife! I remember the tears in your eyes as you watched me walk onto the stage. That was the only time I ever did walk onto the stage. You know that.

I remember the little kitten you bought me after I found out I can’t have children. That kitten was so special to me. You didn’t want to see me cry, did you? I felt sorry because I could never give you little children to run around your circus. You told me it was fine, and that everything would be okay. I really love that black cat. Do you still have her? Tell her that her mama loves her.

I never meant for it to have ended this way. I’m sorry for having left you like this. Stop trying to take it out on all those innocent people. You never put on another show, did you? I don’t know who killed me a long time ago. I wish I could remember, so I can give you peace. I wish you would stop all this killing. It won’t bring me back.

I love you, Payaso. Be happy. Move on.

Your love,

Nana

and laughter is all there is
by jadedair

In Payaso's dreams, he stands before the clapping crowd. He takes off his hat as he bows, a grateful smile on his white face. The troupe lines up behind him, waving to the stands. The audience's cheers becomes deafening and --

-- and the show is over.

Payaso wakes up in the darkness of his personal tent, morning light seeping through the rough patches and thin rips. There is only silence -- no applause, no laughter, no joy.

---

It was a slow decline, like the changing of seasons. Paniye grew old, just like Payaso. The excitement had faded from their tricks, and the people now left their tents with bored expressions on their faces. Then the Sahar came from the Rifts, and Archelon fell into their hands. In the face of destruction and uncertainty, it seems too much to even smile.

Payaso's life is the Circus. Laughter is all he ever wanted. But as the troupe wanders the lonely roads of Arcana, the inevitable dawns upon him: no one wants to laugh anymore.

---

There is no assurance if there would be an audience for tonight, but Payaso orders rehearsals anyway.

The troupe obeys him quietly, going through their routines with listless faces. No one laughs when Roszak misses a ball and it hits him in the face, or when Pome’s dolls fall apart as he tries to make them move. The animals whine as Whippa barks orders and cracks his whip.

Payaso watches, as always. Once he would have been busy, shouting orders, but nowadays he is quiet. Behind him the fairground organ sputters an off-key note before falling silent.

---

Night comes and the circus is empty.

No one wants to watch, no one wants to laugh with Paniye anymore.

But the show must go on, Payaso thinks.

It must always go on.

He spreads his arms and smiles broadly to the cold air. “Welcome!”

The performance starts. The stands remain empty until the very end.

---

Payaso dreams, but instead of the lively circus of his younger years, he sees shadows with eyes. Black things among the audience stands, around the stage.

Dark creatures that laugh.

It has been so long ever since he heard laughter. He has almost forgotten what it sounds like -- wild, loud and all unbridled emotion. To Payaso’s ears it is music. It doesn’t matter where it comes from. Laughter is all he wants.

The shadows grow and their eyes flare with promise. You will be hearing laughter forever -- if you follow what I say.

Payaso reaches out, stumbles forward unto waking and true enough, the giggling stays in his ears -- a strange but welcome chorus puncturing the morning silence.

For the first time in ages, Payaso smiles.

---

It is a rapid change, like a sudden tempest in summer. Paniye is filled with laughter again.

Everyone hears it now, and the shadows have moved from Payaso’s dreams to dwell upon the walls of their tents. When once the troupe was lost and in despair, it now has energy and a purpose. They have their laughter -- their meaning -- and now they must fulfill the bargain.

The Rune in Terminus, the secret of the gypsies’ cards. The shadows must know, acquire.

From the forests of Shebuz Payaso could see the walls of the last fortress. The magic is strong there, the shadows warn -- powers that could stop the laughter. But no matter -- with time, the troupe would succeed.

Be cautious, the shadows continue, rippling across the ceiling of Payaso’s tent. They will send warriors to disrupt our plans.

Payaso giggles with anticipation. He would have an audience.

Paniye would love to make them laugh.

---

The show is over.

There are bodies on the stage floor, and Payaso bows before them.

The troupe gathers, darkened figures with manic-bright eyes. In the brightness of the tents, the shadows deepen.

The nearest body groans, twitches feebly, and Payaso jabs his stick on its back.

It screams.

It laughs.

To Payaso, to Paniye, the laughter and the screams sound the same.

And laughter is all there is.

The body does not fall silent for a long, long time.

The Evil Ruler

I never born in this world,
To fill your life with joy,
Every and Each day,
I been here in this jail,
For long time,
I wanted to walk through world.
To find happiness,
To fill my world with joy,
I walk through the world,
Passed by circus called Paniye Circus,
Circus filled with cute animals,
Puppets looks so pretty and genial ,
It talk and tell me,
What are you looking for?
Are you looking for master Pome?
I wondered who's master pome,
I just pass by them, to see pome,
I never thought of he's so wicked,
I challenge and beaten him up,
I walk through the gate once again,
I found Lion and Bear,
It looks Cute and innocent,
Bear Jump and jump on big ball,
The Lion kept roaring for me,
Like it telling me Go through that gate,
I walked through that gate,
I saw huge Guy, it named Whippa,
It kept whipping all those cute bears,
Without mercy all crying and saying,
Help us! and i;ll be your slave,
I just beaten another evil one again,
I walked through along road,
Filled with Fuego and Jackie,
Them all cute and adorable,
They kept run around me,
Like it telling me Welcome to our circus,
I walk and walk with big smile,
I saw Juggler kept fussing ,
I talked with and asked him "who are you"?
He said I'm Roszak, and said:
He can owns everyone, without spend energy
It was proud of being "Pro" but that snob,
Will never last for long,
We started battle and fight without mercy,
When he almost die,
He kept saying " Please be our master in this Circus"
I thought of it millions times,
I can be the master of Circus,
Because all those animals filled my heart,
With anger and fury,
I'm not showing them pity anymore,
All start calling me " The evil ruler of circus"

Well it all started when the gods of Arcana instructed heads of these unusual locations. Before they became so these places everything was normal in this world, the circus was full of people who visited him every night, and Payaso was the host and was the one who took care of the tickets to the circus. One day his son, Drip, he said he wanted to host. This put him to think. He said he could not be, he lacked experience, Drip was angry. At the end of that night function Payaso was to find his son, worried, sad ...

Drip had encountered something so full of evil, was a necklace Arcana gods used to balance the good and evil. Unfortunately he had found was the evil. The following morning he returned to the circus Payaso was at the center of the circus, looking down. Drip entered the circus Payaso stood and said nothing, only stared as something bad had on his son. Drip watched with a grim smile, and said, "Now I'm not asking permission to be the leader of the circus." followed by a laugh that would put hair tip to anyone. All animals in the circus, the tamer, acrobats and a little girl who had been rescued from poverty called Eleone were watching what was happening. Drip walked slowly toward his father, Payaso. After all Drip note that had a strange mark on his chest, was the necklace he had found, had gotten into his being. He was where he was Eleone, who trembled and wept as he approached more and more. He touched her hand and she froze, then turned his eyes dark and red. Drip said "That happened to each and every one of you be of Arcana"

Payaso saw the situation and thought "I have to, I have to kill it, before everything Arcana looks under control, I have no choice" in tears. Drip and ran to hit him hard in the chest, the collar left his body and his soul also. Everyone was crying to see this Payaso got up and put the necklace had left Drip, put it in the entrance of the circus, and so every time someone approached you could see the collar. Payaso stood there, with their animals and all inside, the evil that corrupted him was to protect all people, they came there, then, became the loyal defender of the circus. Lest anyone suffer their fate.
