16s	I used to be a part of something.
19s	I founded that circus.
21s	Built it up from nothing.
26s	From town to town.
28s	Maybe we'd steal a little along the way.
31s	But we always put on a good show.
37s	And then the stone came into my life.
40s	And it all went to hell.
45s	A little man came up to me.
47s	Offered to trade me something powerful and magic.
51s	If I just let him join the circus and disappear.
54s	He called it the Helio Stone.
58s	It was an ugly thing.
60s	Carved rock in the shape of a sun
64s	a demon's face in the center.
67s	Like a fool.
69s	I said yes.
73s	The man didn't lie.
75s	It did have power.
77s	It started reaching out
79s	and twisting things.
80s	Turning people evil and beasts into monsters.
85s	Then it came for me.
89s	I fought it as long as I could.
91s	But I knew I was never going to win.
97s	So I ran.
99s	The others who hadn't changed yet ran with me
102s	and scattered to live out their lives someplace safe.
107s	Not me, though.
108s	I knew I wanted what was mine back.
111s	I knew that no matter where it went, I would follow.
115s	And I knew that one day vengeance would be mine.
