Masquerade Of The Guilty

Have you ever experienced a day so bad you just died? Tell me about it. There I was, this scrawny high schooler always on the receiving end of bullying, and then boom, I'm playing hero to this little kid about to be pancake city beneath some wheels. And here's the kicker—I take the hit instead. Talk about instant payback. But instead of coming to in the back of an ambulance or, you know remaining a goner, my eyes pop open to this huge shiny blue moon, some celestial messenger in gleaming gear, and a set of stairs made out of actual starlight. So, it wasn't just bad luck that left me flattened out like a human pancake—I was picked. Chosen by who, you ask? Well, a super spooky mouthless and noseless god of eldraen decided I was the lucky one to get a big fat destiny plopped on me as if it was some group project I never asked for. Turns out, I'm meant to be the "Child of Starlight," the sole individual who's got the chops to take down the Dark Lord Hadeon, who's come back from the dead. And this Hadeon guy? He's not your average Joe wizard; he's the most powerful sorcerer there's ever been. Okay so typically, this is where I'd freak out and bolt. But something's up. Turns out, magic's a real thing. And guess what? I've got it. Not parlor tricks, either. I'm wielding power I never dreamed of..." Okay so here's the sticky part. Hadeon isn't just strong – man, that guy's is also way too tough, and he's got this bunch of followers convinced that reviving him is top-notch. What about me? I used to be the kid nobody noticed in high school, plus I've got this chatty sky-being giving me advice, a realm that's giving me side-eye, and not a single tip on being the brave one. Still, I didn't stick around after kicking the bucket just to watch everything go down the drain. Hadeon's looking for a brawl? Alright, let's have it out. We'll see who's the boss.

Years later, on their way back home, their sensors caught a strange energy fluctuation coming from the black hole they passed near.

They set out for the nearest habitable planet. The ship quickly entered the atmosphere after many problems and sank after hitting the ground .

In a quiet, forgotten corner of the world stands a peculiar house—a circus-like mansion called the "Fool’s Masquerade", run by a single enigmatic figure known only as The Fool. The Fool is an entertainer who dons a jester’s mask and opens his doors to anyone who seeks shelter, solace, or even just a fleeting escape from their troubles. Each guest who enters the Fool’s house brings their own story—some joyful, others tragic. They stay for a time, entertained by the Fool’s dazzling performances and absurd tricks that seem to read their very souls. But eventually, they all leave. The Fool never asks why. He simply smiles, bows, and holds the door open for them. Though the circus thrives with laughter and life, it is a lonely existence for the Fool. He built the house not just as a sanctuary for others, but to hide his own pain. Each act, each trick, is a way to distract himself from the emptiness left behind by those who come and go. Despite his sorrow, the Fool doesn’t close the door. “The door is always open,” he says, because he believes people’s decisions to leave are their own. It’s their life to live, and his role is simply to give them a moment of joy before they move on. But what happens when someone decides to stay? One day, a traveler stumbles into the Fool’s Masquerade—a quiet, stoic figure who doesn’t laugh at the Fool’s jokes or marvel at his tricks. Instead, they stay. They linger in the audience long after the performance ends, asking questions no one has asked before: “Why do you do this?” “Don’t you ever want someone to stay?” “Who takes care of you?” As the Fool grapples with these questions, he begins to unravel the truth about his own existence and why he chose to live this way. The circus house, once a place of escape for others, becomes a stage for his own self-discovery. Through whimsical performances and heartfelt conversations, *The Fool’s Masquerade* explores themes of loneliness, connection, and the bittersweet beauty of letting go. It’s a story about a man who calls himself a fool but may be the wisest of them all, and the one person who might teach him that it’s okay to let someone stay.
