Night that is when the this place of the individualistic and abnormal came alive. The Noaptea Iluzia was the place to be for those who seek the unordinary and yet it seemed to blend in well with the city. Dusk had long past by this time and many performances were going on. One of which seemed to be very popular tonight. A man with long black hair watched from the shadows as the Piper’s performance was coming to an end.

The lights dimmed as the music began to fade. Once the hypnotic music of the slender blue haired man disappeared crimson curtains fell before the young woman whom he had selected earlier to be his living doll for this performance. In the darkness of the stage he stood, adjusting his hat. A dark smile played on his lips as he moved forward towards center stage. This one had been an interesting girl. She lasted longer than some of the others. The crimson curtains rose, an roaring applause came from the crowd that had gathered. The man look off his hat, bowing to his audience. None seemed to notice that the woman strung up on the stage was unconscious. Once more the curtain fell. “Now my dear shall we play some more once you awake,” his voice was smooth, but cold. Two men came onto the stage and took the woman down. “Take her to new recruits tent. You know what to do.” Alberich Pfeifer moved in the dim light, taking his clarinet. He disappeared into the darkness, going to his own tent or in his case his home.

The man with long black hair slipped away through the shadows. He was waiting for Alberich inside of his home. The man known of Piper enter his home feeling the presence of another he spoke before turning on a light, “Shouldn’t you be at the main stage, Darius?” A dark chuckle came from the dark haired male. “You needn’t worry about that Piper.” In one swift movement he was right in front of Piper. “More importantly what did you think you were doing? You could smell that woman’s blood a mile away. Are you trying to attracted undesirables? Also where is that woman right now?” His tone was harsh and cold as he interrogated the other. Piper shrank slightly before apologizing and explaining himself. “I had two of the stage hands take her to the new recruit tent.” “Fine, I don’t want to see you doing something stupid like that again or it will cost you.” With that Darius slipped silently into the darkness making his way to the new recruit tent.


The men had followed Piper's instructions taking the unconscious woman to the new recruit tent. They placed her on the one of the beds in the back of the tent. Making sure to put a shackle around her ankle. The two feared Piper and what he would do to them if she got away before he returned. Once finished the pair went on to their next job.
