You were in the back getting ready for your big performance as the Animal Tamer of the Midnight Circus, of course you were unique you had the ability to summon any animals you wanted and make them do tricks for you, wether that be jumping through flaming hoops, walking on circus balls, standing on their hind legs, or the most dangerous trickletting you stick your head into their open mouth. You were known all around. Of course sometimes accidents do occur in the circus and luckily anyone who gets hurt or injured comes back unscathed the very next day. Which is the reason it's called the Magical Midnight Circus.
You weren't originally part of the Circus as you actually joined when you were young. You remembered the day like it was yesterday you were a young early teen 13 to be exact when you found out about the Magical Midnight Circus that was preforming in your home town, always wanting to see any circus you could you decide to save up enough money to go to the show and you were amazed by what you seen. The incredible acts from the Acrobats, to the unmatched strength of the Strongmen and his wife the Strongwoman who were able to lift the stands that held you and other people who went to watch the circus with ease. Of course you also remember how you came to being the Animal Tamer of the circus... Later on in the act the Animal Tamer that worked at the circus seemed to not know what they were doing as they kept shaking nervously, which would be understandable as they worked with a lion, but that's when the Lion broke free from the cage which caused panic and alarm of the crowd rushing and running to the exit shoving other people out of the way just to escape from the Lion.
This was already a big problem made worse because one person bumped into you causing you to fall from the stand and onto the ground which the lion noticed almost immediately, as it started to prowl towards you... You you slowly get up as you backed up against the stand as you looked around wondering how you could avoid getting mauled when the ring master would toss you a whip telling you to use it against the lion. Of course you would pick it up before holding it back like you would a fishing rod before throwing your arm forward the whip making a loud cracking sound at the lion which stopped it for a second as you would do it again and again and again. The Lion would continue to try getting closer towards you when eventually you'd get scooped up by the Strongwoman who had been slowly getting closer to help pull you up to the stands as her husband had went and grabbed the Tranquilizer darts as he shot a couple towards the lion as it would strike them. The Lion would roar as he turns his attention around and runs towards the Strongman before he slows down and falls to the ground as it sleeps.
Once everything was safe the Ringmaster would have everyone gather around outside the tent apologizing for what happened and giving everyone their money back, everyone except you as when you were going to leave the Ringmaster pulled you back telling you that he was impressed how you handled the situation and gave you an offer to be the new Animal Tamer, you were unsure about the offer especially with how bad it could go, but the Ring Master decided to give you a taste of how magical the circus truly was as some weird aura shot from his fingers and hit you. Nothing seemed different until the Lion that was now put into its cage nearby spoke up.
"I'm sorry for earlier I lost control of myself when that other Animal Tamer used the whip as he actually hit my front paw."
You couldn't believe it! You can hear the Lion actually speak and it could talk to you this was incredible the Ringmaster said you could keep that magical gift and would hope you'd think about joining the circus. You thought over the offer and decided it would be fun joining the circus. Now back to the present, you had to do was decide what animals you'd use in your act tonight, and what tricks you'd have them do since you had plenty of time to practice.
