"What do I do, what do I do?!" Erik kept thinking to himself.

"What would Aaron do? What would Humphrey do? I think help others, but I don't know how…"

Erik looked up and saw a flash of light come from the den and fire.

"What?" He ran as fast as his paws could take him. He saw a great fir wall before him.

Erik backed away before going in it. He had to save his friends.

He was then lost in blackness. But a song was playing. A creepy one at best. It started faint, but grew as Erik came close.

A Minotaur's my butler, a Cyclops my valet

A Centaur draws my chariot that takes me down the way

Through a river made of fire to a street that's paved with bones

I got a dozen zombie skeletons to walk me to my throne

Erik was then met face to face with a circus tent. Everything was still black except the tent which was red and white.

"Might as well…." Erik said as he went inside. What he saw was amazing.

The song began to play louder and what Erik saw was a humongous circus filled with scary looking clowns, acrobats, and lion tamers.

In the land of the dead

Heck boy, ain't it grand?

I'm the overlord of the underworld

Cause I hold Horror's Hand

He looked at the scary visages of many of these performers. Their faces were either turned in a creepy way or their faces had lots of hair or just down right disturbing. He could still the damned carnival music in the background.

In the land of the dead

I'm dark side royalty

I'm foreign out in the underground

And you can't take that from me

"What is this place?" Erik asked in amazement. He'd never seen a place like this before.

"What are you doing here?" A tamer asked Erik. He stood in front of him wearing a lion tamer's outfit, equipped with a top hat, handlebar mustache, and a whip that hung from his side.

"Look, I'm just trying to…"

"Wait a minute, I know you!" He said with excitement

"You do?"

"You're my next act!"

"What?! No I'm not…"

Before he could do anything, the tamer took him and cradled Erik.

"I'm Losvid. The greatest!"

"The greatest what?"

"Don't ruin it…." He said in a dead pan voice.
