The ceremony was beyond words. I gave a blood sacrifice and we all drank it. The fire blazed and the Ring Master was chanting in his ancient language. We danced naked around the flames. It was freeing and incredible. I’m part of the Circus in Black now!
Fittingly, before the ceremony I had drawn the Ace of Wands. This is a new beginning. August has been gone for days, I love Mal, and I’ve found a safe and happy place to live my life.

I drew the reversed Eight of Swords, I think it speaks to having freed myself from August’s bond and found a place where I truly belong.

When I woke up I drew the Three of Cups, a card of friendship. I thought it must refer to Mal until I stumbled into Willow and Dolphina around dinnertime. They were drinking wine and repairing one of the safety nets. Willow poured me a glass and Dolphina taught me how to tie the tiny knots they use to repair holes. It’s very intricate work and I enjoyed it immensely. We talked about August and Mal and of Dolphina’s many, varied, lovers and Willow, well, she’s picky. I loved it. I love them. I love being here at the Circus.
