Morgash stood by the iron bars of his cages, watching the dust rise from the road ahead. A caravan was coming, something new for the Carnival. The beasts in their cages rustled, uneasy. Morgash grunted, hand scratching at the scar on his arm that always seemed to itch. He didn’t like new things.

They always brought trouble.

When the caravan stopped, the men threw open the doors, dragging out what looked like a person. Morgash frowned, scratching the back of his neck. This wasn’t right. The creature—no, person—was different, not something meant to be kept in a cage. They were more human than beast.

“Ay sir, What's this?” Morgash grumbled, his deep voice carrying in the silence. He didn’t like talking much, especially not to the other carnival workers, but this was strange. He didn’t understand.

“They’re yours now,” one of the men spat, tossing a set of chains at his feet. “New attraction. Break them in. Make them obedient like the rest of your monsters.”

Morgash's brow furrowed as he bent to pick up the chains. They felt heavy in his hands, heavier than usual. He didn’t like this. Not one bit. He looked at the person—no, the creature?—and saw the look in their eyes. They have a face like mine... Morgash thought, uneasy.

“That ain't no beast, that's for sure.” he said, voice low. “Why send them here? I reckon it's not even where they belong to stay.”

The man shrugged. “Doesn’t matter. You do what you’re told. Put them in a cage, like the rest.”

Morgash stood there, silent. His grip on the chains tightened, and his mind churned. This is not an animal. Not like the others... The beasts in the cages, they never looked at him like this. They didn’t understand. They only knew fear or aggression. This one, though—they know what’s happening. He could see it in their eyes.

But he had a job to do. He had always done what he was told. That’s how he survived here.

With a grunt, Morgash knelt beside the new creature as the men hopped back in the caravan and left, Morgash lifted the chains. “Put these on for me,” he said slowly, each word feeling heavy on his tongue. “Just, be stay calm and do as I say, alright? It'll be easier for the both of us that way, I reckon."
