At a quaint village, some people run and shout, "Come one, come all, see our spectacular traveling show! Food, games and our numerous sideshow attractions! Say hello to the smallest elephant man! Meet the lovely bearded pig lady! See the fattest snake in the world! Also come and test your bravery against our greatest new attraction yet!"

The owner enters a tent and hits a covered cage, "Wake up, monster!" some chains are heard rattling a bit as he starts to light the lanterns nearby, "You're going to bring us a lot of money, you're so dangerous, no one will want to get near you, but will try like the idiots they are." he closed a curtain and pulled a hidden rope to reveal the monster, before exiting the tent completely.

The monster that was the beast that is Omni, grunts and growls, the chains rattle and move as he gets up and looked out the cage to the path where the owner left, he was sad and still a bit woozy, but time passed before they started to visit him, one after another; glares, screams, panics, all of that caused Omni to snap back into his feral state and those a lil braver drew close to the pot, he'd slash.

The pot filled w/ coins as people visit and try to win it all, after 3 days, a voice called that tomorrow was the last day to test their mettle and win the pot of coins, but as it got close to the evening, a young fox maiden walks about and was enjoying the spectacles, then looks at the tent where another person was scared out their wits, screaming.

She was confused, walking up to see the sign; 'Face The Monster And Win The Pot', she was confused and yet the depiction of the monster almost seemed familiar for a moment, she then looked at the caller trying to attract more "customers" to test their courage, she wondered for a moment, a lil scared to try, but then lightly walking up to the tent to see what this was about.

"Hello there, I... I would like to try and... see the monster and win the pot." "Oh dear lady, this is a monster, it is the scariest thing in the world! Not even a knight would be able to face it w/o backing up or passing out." "I... still would like to try." "Hm, very then, for you 2 coins." she puts the coins in the box as they roll into the tent and clatter w/ the coins in the pot.

She was let in and closed before the caller pulls the 2nd curtain to reveal the pot of coins and the monster, she gasped looking as it growls and snarls in its cage, chained down while it struggles in place, she shivered as her hands over her mouth and her eyes lightly water, but instead of turning, slowly moved towards it before getting half way, spoke, "... i... is it you?"
