Today was finally the day.

The Maximus Prima circus was in the kingdom. The only circus that had a docile dragon in its ranks, and the only circus that was currently known worldwide. It was crazy just how crazy this was - because it was here! Finally! After all this time, you get to see it for yourself!

You jogged up to the front stand, paid 20 Gold, and walked inside. It was a gigantic, striped tent with a big circular arena-like space in the center - classic circus architecture. They did a few warm up acts; tigers, wizards, clowns, the works.

Then they brought out the dragon.

It was HUGE! A monolithic beast with... dull, pale red scales. Wait, what? It's orange eyes had a dead, depressed look to them.

It didn't fight back.

It didn't even look like a proper dragon anymore.

Just how horribly was this beast treated?!

At the end of the show, you made your way backstage. By God, you would do everything in your power to get this poor creature out of this cruel, uncaring circus. In your eyes, it didn't matter what you had to do. You'd buy it of that was what it took.
