This is her awakening scene, and her Path is not set yet. I want to see what people suggest for this concept. Its only sketchy at present, but thats because I want help working out the detail. This is only a starting point.

Cirque de Soleil
She climbed the rope, her limbs gripping it tightly. One hand, pull, other hand, pull. Keep the center of gravity through her middle. She rose off the padded floor, pulling herself up, and bent one of her legs at an impossible angle to the other rope- her foot wrapping around it. Drawing them together, she bends herself double, and continues till she is high above the circus floor.
From up here, she can see everything. She looks out over the different areas, the seats, the ring. She imagined for a moment she was looking over the whole world, curling around it, as flexible as the snake she played… The rainbow serpent that gave birth to the world…
Just for a moment, she saw…… and began to pull herself between the ropes, leaping from one place to another, the joy like flying. Totally sure of her feet landing, her balance and reactions, she swing from place to place, twisting and folding, movements inconceivable for most people. As she swung, the vertigo swirled around her, and suddenly it was like… she was falling… no, the World was… and everything went dark, as though the lights went down, the curtains drew across her vision, and all was still.
After a time, a faint light appeared and she realised she was surrounded by midnight blue silk – like the night sky. She moved through it, pushing it away, wondering where in the circus she was… She had not then this before. Finally she freed herself, and as she stepped out, she realised she was nowhere she recognised…
But she was somewhere that she knew….
In the training tent, the support crew sprinted to the fallen figure. Gathering around, Ariel Kincaid lay on the ground, unconscious.
That fall should have killed her……
