The Chase is On!

by Violet Raine

Ejike and I begin tailing the Kenku that has been causing a ruckus. Our group notices our pursuit and joins us. The chase is on! The kenku starts running and we catch up to her. She blows some kind of sleep spell into EJ's face and he falls asleep. Distracted I attempt to help my fallen companion and Rob catches her. She agrees to talk to us after Rob's persuasion. Her name is Kettlestream and she has a pact with an arch fae from prismere? The carnival is from her realm and lately she hasn't felt her fae''s presence. She says that Mr. Witch and Mr. Light know more about what is happening there than what they will tell anyone. They talk about this mysterious masked group, Monarch masks or something. I can't remember. Haven't had enough candy. We agree to help her if she gives Candlefoot his voice back. She is reluctant but agrees only if we go to prismire. We attempt to get closer to the owners caravan, Pipis is leading the way, and we are interrupted by a mad clown looking guy. He escorts us the the caravan and Mr. Light invites us to tea. We drink and discuss small things like Arya and Petra's birthday. They give us tokens to get cake. I tell him my secret about how I feel like I am supposed to be here. He says he will keep my secret. We go to Candlefoot and tell him his voice should be back and he freaks out and runs away. He comes back after asking the mermaid to get married and is excited. He mentions that strange things are happening and people are going missing at the carnival. He says that Mr.Witch might be persuaded to talk if we had his watch. We go out to the pixie carnival, where we shrink down and find the only booze in the park! We drink and strategize about how we could get Mr. Witch's watch to persuade him to tell us the whole story. We play hide and seek with the pixies. I steal some pixie dust and fly to a candy stall and steal a piece of candy that is HUGE! EJ and I eat it together while we are small. We leave here and go get some kind of crazy hallucinagenic cookies. They are good. We see a shadow figure out of the corner of our eyes and attempt to follow it to no avail. We go to get cake next and then a guy on the edge of the main food area is getting his pocket picked by a scary fae frog! .... EJ runs up to it and it pulls out a dagger. I see this and shoot it from afar and kill it. The crowd thankfully thinks this is part of the show. The hands dump the body in the river. The guy that had his pockets picked and no wings runs away. The Witchlight carnival monarch ceremony ends in Arya getting crowned! We eat dinner with the owners and find out that they won the carnival in a card game in the shadowfell! Crazy! The carnival closing, we will have to come back to unravel the mystery, but first i need more punches on my ticket for candy. The goblin ticketmaster says he will give me a ticket in exchange for me to agree to give everyone i meet a compliment. Easy enough! I agree and take the ticket!
