History:
100,000 Years
For time out of mind,
the Psycho Circus criss-crossed the world;
making it right, making it strange,
and most people marked neither its coming or its going.
Only a few incidents from this time are known:
* A man named Drake stole a gem from the court of the Beast King, for a while.
* In Feudal Japan, a young warrior named Ukira was tested by the Elder, and found worthy.
* In King George III's England, highwayman John Blackwell was betrayed and murdered. He accepted the Demon's offer to become its avatar, and joined the Psycho Circus.
* In Napoleanic France, Fortunado L'Etoile murdered the man who kept him from his true love. Awaiting execution in prison, he accepted the Starbearer's offer to become its avatar, and joined the Psycho Circus.
* In the Old West, the Psycho Circus crossed paths with the prospector Tristam Gantry.
* In the early years of the 20th century, a great white hunter named Tiberius MacLir was mauled by the great white lion he hunted. Mortally wounded, he accepted the Beast-Lord's offer to become its avatar, and joineds the Psycho Circus.
* Recently, young mute Matthew Stargrave lost his reason to live, and attempted suicide. He accepted the Celestial's offer to become its avatar, and joined the Psycho Circus.
And for all these years, the wizard Khalis-Wu waited for the time to be right.
Very soon now, the Box of Khyszc, and the four talismans within it, would once again come to prominence.
