''Spending time with you I can do it forever. I love you that much.''~ Nero Adams

The sun hung low in the sky, casting long golden shadows across the academy grounds. Nero and Khione walked hand in hand through the gates, leaving the familiar spires and training fields behind. The academy city stretched before them, alive with the hum of evening activity. The streets were crowded, the air filled with the scent of street food and the distant sound of music.
Nero had heard about the circus from Lux. It had arrived in the city the night before, setting up its tents and wagons in a large field just outside the main district. It was a traveling circus, the kind that moved from city to city, bringing wonder and spectacle to those who had never seen such things. Nero had never been to a circus. Neither had Khione.
