Chapter 1

The Crowds were roaring, a sound so loud it shook Leo's core. The deafening cheers made him dizzy but he kept his focus. He wiped his hands against his costume, they were moist with his sweat. Every breath he took he felt his body become lighter. He rested his hands on the hanging bar in front of him

"All right! Let's do this!" He shouted, psyching himself up for the next trick.

The audience could be heard in the background, their cries intensifying. Leo gripped harder on the trapeze and inhaled a deep breath before he couldn't hear anything anymore. He closed his eyes, a soft thumping could be felt reverberating through his bones.

"Leo! Leo! Leo! Leo!" The crowd chanted.

He tensed his knees and leaped. His whole body tightened as he descended. As the trapeze started to swing back up he let go of the bar letting the momentum carry him. As he soared through air he looked majestic. Each Flip and spin made Leo look as if he was sparkling.

"It's The Fairy King!" one fan shouted "Kyaah! He is so handsome!" A female fan blurted.

The different colored lights all shone on him and follow his every movement. When he started descending the adjacent Trapeze artist could be suddenly spotted bursting out from the darkness. Leo grasped the artists legs and started swinging the other away making them look like a pendulum.

When he reached the opposite side he landed on the platform. All eyes of the audience admiring his every movement. When all the lights refocused on him, a charming smile could be seen by those below. Leo took an elegant bow and the crowd exploded.

Leo started to climb down the ladder to the world below him. When he reached solid ground a man in a red suit walked up to him, a distinct tophat could be seen on his head.

"Thank you folks for watching the performance of the Fantasy Circus! We hoped you enjoyed the extra performance by our very own Fairy King!" the man in the red suit said through a microphone.

As he announced this lines of different performers in fantastical costumes came out from the side entrance of the Circus tent. When all of them appeared they all took a polite bow one by one and exited through the other entrance.

Uplifting music could be heard, brass instruments were blaring and drums could be felt rumbling.

Leo absorbed the sounds around him and grinned, out of every performer there when he bowed the crowd cheered the loudest. Leo was a professional trapeze artist among other talents. He could do gymnastics, magic tricks, even animal taming. In other words he was a genius. On top of his talents he was exceptionally handsome. If he wasn't a performer he could be a world class model.

"I'm too perfect for this world." He sighed.

When the other performer heard this they rolled their eyes. Leo often acted like and they were used to it but it still annoyed them that he sounded arrogant all the time. The performers started making their way towards the changing rooms but Leo headed straight for the exit. When he stepped outside the sun shined brightly and among the crowd a shout could be heard

"It's Leo! T-the Fairy King!" a fan stuttered as she pointed straight at Leo.

The people who all heard this stopped in their tracks and looked at the direction the fan was pointing and saw a dazzling, handsome figure.

"Ahhhh! He is even more handsome up close!" one fan screeched.

"Wow! Can I have an autograph! N-no n-no a strand of hair! Please!" one individual said enthusiastically.

Leo smiled at the group in front of him, his ego inflating even more. When the people saw his smile they all gasped for air, he was so handsome some female fans even fainting on the spot and some boyfriends of the female fans staring angrily.

"Now now, I must be on my way. I'll see you guys at my next performance, I have a date with Miss Rita in a hour." Leo said.

When the fans heard Rita's name they frowned, their eyes filled with jealousy.

"I Want a date with Leo too!"

"Miss Rita is so lucky!"

Leo chuckled he loved the attention. He soon made his way through the crowd entering a fancy black car on the street. He spoke to the driver in the front seat.

"To my villa, I got a tight schedule so to make it fast I don't want traffic."

The driver only nodded and said with a devilish smile

"Yes sir."

The driver gave off a cold, death like atmosphere but Leo didn't notice anything as he was preoccupied typing something on his phone.

"See you soon honey ;)" he texted to his girlfriend.

There was no reply but he guessed she was busy. Him and the driver were on the road going very fast, in fact they were almost thirty kilometer over the speed limit. That's when Leo started feeling suspicious.

"Hey this isn't the right road to the villa!"

The driver kept driving silently

" Hey, are you deaf? I said it's the wrong road dumbas-"

But before Leo could finish speaking he noticed a pressure coming from the side of the car. A truck was running straight for them.

"Ha Ha! DIE!" The driver screamed

Leo turned pale and covered his head before a loud crashing could be heard. He felt the crunching of his bones as the truck rammed into the car and he felt the shards of glass shredding him from all angles.

Leo's head ringing he saw the driver dead, his body sprawled across the road. Leo tried dragging himself away from the crash. It was painful, every movement made Leo's skin felt like it was burning and he felt something draining from his lungs and his chest area hurt. His consciousness was fading and Leo could feel himself dying.

"I don't want to die'"He thought "I'm sorry, I'm sorry"

In his head he was pleading, begging, God for another chance. He promised he wouldn't be arrogant, he promised he would be kind, he would sacrifice anything for another chance. Then a brilliant light shown and a voice could be heard.

"Sacrifice anything you say? Now that's an interesting prospect." the voice said

Leo thought he was hearing things in his final hours. He let a silent tear run down his face.

"Hmmm. You seem determined. I'll tell you what," The voice said "I can give you another chance at life if you give me two things."

Without even hearing the conditions Leo nodded unconsciously. Even though he thought he was hearing things he still agreed to the voices conditions. He felt he was having a long dream.

"Wow! What confidence! What if I wanted your soul or something" The voice chuckled "Kidding kidding. But that gives me an idea!"

Leo heard the voice mutter some words before he felt his body become all of a sudden lighter. He thought his time was coming so he accepted it.

"Whoa! Don't give up yet we haven't even started! Now when you wake up again this will help you."

An orb floated down and merged Leo's body; his body became heavier again as if a piece of himself returned. The voice chuckled, it almost sounded as if you could see him grinning.

"I have high expectations from you."

As the voice said that a soft light enveloped Leo as his thoughts drifted away. Then darkness enveloped him. He could feel the soft touch of a hand against his cheek. He loved it and felt attracted to it, he nuzzled closer to it.

"Awww he is so adorable!"

The sound of someone's voice awakened him. He tried opening his eyes but it was like a stagelight was just centimeters from his face.

"Clara lower your voice, you're waking him up."

This voice was calm, serene, melodic. The person with this voice sounded like an angel. He pried his eyes open. A beautiful but weary face was staring back at him. Leo was admiring her beauty before he realised something he can't move and everything looks so much bigger than it normally was. His eyes darted around the room and people were surrounding him from all sides. They looked so tall!

"Wait a minute." he thought.

He mustered the strength to move his arm, or atleast where he felt his arm was and moved it closer to his eyes. When his sight focused the hand in front of him looked nothing like his at all, in fact it was tiny. He was very confused about everything going on until he heard someone say something.

"What are you going to name the new baby?"

Leo's hearts dropped as the idea just came into his head. He started putting the puzzle pieces together and realised something.

"I became a baby!"
