Kai had been wandering for so long.

She’d uplifted herself from everything important to her when the unique abilities she possessed had begun to manifest. She was dangerous, and she knew it. Knew that any unforeseen action could bring harm to that which she loved. Kai did not wallow in this small grief, this self-imposed loss, but took it as a chance to start anew. To be a better person than before, with none of the history. At least, she would try.

It was only a matter of time before she stumbled upon the carnival. It was her type of place from the start: a celebration of all things different in the world. At first, the enormity of the fair surprised her, and she took a moment to absorb all the different sites, sounds, and smells. Audibly she mumbles to herself, “Truly amazing,” before walking deeper into the wonderland.
