BLUE HOUR: The Primes

ᵇˡᵃᶜᵏ ˢᵒʳᶜᵉʳᵉʳ

The clock struck eight and the sky is finally pitched with nothing but darkness.

Trevor stepped out of his small tent and inhaled the sweet scent of human filth. And it is like this every night.

"Trevor! It's time! Get your fu**ing ass over here!!!" He heard the voice of his boss yelling at him from his so-called office.

Trevor picked up his favorite dark purple velvet coat and marched to his boss' office.

As usual. He was told not to mess up his show and make sure to bring in money. Once the brief meeting finished, Trevor went to his own booth where everything is already prepared by the staff of the carnival.

Trevor is a young boy born with the gift of sorcery. He was born from a very rich and powerful family. Sorcerers that control dark magic and manipulating innocent people is what they do best.

However, as years go by. Trevor began to notice something different in himself. He could tell he is different from his own people.

If his family is already powerful. Trevor is thrice as powerful as they are. But what made him very very despised by his own people... is because of his good nature which is not accepted among them.

Trevor is kind and sweet. But his family forces him to be evil and kill people because he is a black sorcerer like them.

Trevor didn't want any of it. He doesn't want to be like them and the final straw was when Trevor accidentally killed his own mother because of his father.

His mother was degrading him and showing him how to be like her. Trevor lost his control over himself and he was clouded by his evil side. Not to mention his father was also driving him there. When he realized everything that happened, he had killed his own mother in a very gruesome way.

So he ran away.

Away from his family.
Away from his people.

He found his boss who owns a carnival. Trevor figured that if he has a human's scent stuck with him, he will never have to worry about his father tracking him.

So he decided to just keep his power to himself and worked as a magician in a carnival. And he actually finds the job more interesting with just a few little and simple tricks he makes. The way people appreciate and applaud for him made him content with what he has now.

Every night that the carnival opens, many people fill in and would try out every booth. It was so far the best job to keep Trevor hidden from his fellow black sorcerers.

But there are also many chances where he also finds other creatures coping among humans.

For example... There was once a group of half-mermaids who came to watch his show. They didn't come back after that one visit.
He also remembers the werewolves that also came in as a pack.

There were many more and every one of them had given Trevor a very suspicious look.
It may be because they sense that Trevor is not a mere mortal. But one of a kind that habits the tilled land of earth.
