Crack

Music filled the air, flashes of bright colored velvet swishing here and there surrounding him.

The bells adorning his hat jingled as he moved, his grin not wavering as he struck poses for his audience...

Crack

His jokes echoed the halls, followed by joyous laughter that he relished. Even the man in the crown had laughed at the jabs thrown towards himself.

More jokes, flourishing movements that would make the best dancers flustered with jealousy as the skeleton twirled into a handstand..

CrAcK

Bright green eyelights with hints of gold stared mischeviously at his audience, him not afraid to speak his mind through jokes. He would be safe, so his fear was nulled by rumbling laughter.

CRACK

....HuRtS....

Mismatched grey, gold , and sapphire eyes stared up at emotionless red and blue, tears blurring his vision. Bonemarrow dripping down his chin, pain echoing in his bones as the wound in his soul bleeds out.

Memories of a life he had forgotten filled his mind now that he was on death's door, sobs leaving him.

He missed home.. He missed when he made others laugh.

He missed the kind king who took him in the moment he met him, the other's red eyes bright with pure joy.

....... He wasn't going to make it.
