Sparks flew from the gleaming steel dagger in his hand pressed to the sharpening wheel in his tent. As the wheel turned, his thoughts turned as well. Holding up the sharpened weapon to inspect his work, seeing it in his hand reminded him of the makeshift knife he made to protect himself as an orphan on the streets of Solhaven.
When the carnival had rolled into town, so many years ago, he'd found his new home. At first the workers had shooed him away, like so many other orphans, but he'd been persistent, stowing himself away in their caravan after they broke camp to head to another town. The Matriarch had taken him under her wing, put him to work for her doing odd jobs to earn his keep.
The carnival life had suited him. As he'd grown into adulthood, he'd become a part of the team that set up and tore down the camp every time they moved, some of them freaks who offered their particular skills to the job, others just laborers who took other tasks in the camp, like cooking, or repairing things.
Over the years Ziito had developed his own knife throwing routine, which the Matriarch had eventually added to the attraction line-up. His arm was strong, and his aim deadly accurate. He'd found that he enjoyed being a showman, and embraced the role eagerly.
His mind returning to the present, being satisfied with the dagger, Ziito placed it into the newly-made white leather bandolier he created just for this purpose. It was one of his finest creations. The Matriarch had ordered him put it up for raffle at the next camp, which bristled him, but he stuffed that emotion down, like so many of the others she aroused in him, and reminded himself he would have ample opportunity to take it out on someone else very soon.
Ziito the Great will be raffling off 1 unlimited hurling bandolier in both Prime and Plat. The bandolier itself is belt worn and the weapon it produces is +22 dagger base.
Prime draws Sat 22nd, 500pm.
Plat draws Sat 22nd, 630pm.
Good luck and stay freaky!
