Leo had worked in a circus before when he was little. To make people laugh. He was good at that. Even if it meant hurting himself in the process.

He had gotten into his work "uniform" and headed out onto the stage. The show went well, it was almost ending actually. That was until a monster had probably snuck behind him while he was performing and had Impaled him with a prop.

At first the crowd went silent. Then it erupted into laughter. The mist must have made it look like it was part of the show. Leo looked down at himself, bloody and weak. He was losing blood, and fast. His vision was already getting blurry, Leo looked back at the crowd. They were laughing. Laughing. "This is new! Mommy, I like this show!" He had heard a little boy say to his mother.

That was the last thing he heard before dying. They thought it was a joke. His death was a joke? He didn't even get to say goodbye. After all he's been though, this is how he went out? Seriously, he was so done with this bullshit.

Leo looked around, expecting to be somewhere like maybe the Fields Of Punishment or even Tartarus. That was definitely not where he was right now. Unless Hades decided to have a good introduction. Esluysm was beautiful, it was peaceful even. And it was golden hour. He had no idea how that worked but he wasn't going to complain.
