Having lost his parents at a young age to drug wars, Roman and his twin brother Remus lived on the streets since the age of six. The two were very good con artists and good at pickpocketing. They quickly grew a reputation as the young Bonnie and Clyde of their town. While trying to steal from the local theater, the owner took pity on the two orphaned boys and gave them a job. Roman took up child roles while Remus was his understudy. It was the first place Roman ever felt at home. He loved the feeling of entertaining others and the attention it brought. Unfortunately, a fire burned the theater to the ground, and the owner didn’t have the funds to rebuild it. Once again, Roman and Remus were back onto the streets.Instead of stealing, Roman tried to do street performances with the magic he picked up from one of the traveling vaudeville actors. He was rather good and caught the attention of Leila. She said she could make him even better. Roman explained the only way he’d join is if his brother could come too, and the two of them joined Leila’s crew. Leila asked Roman what he wanted more than anything, and Roman recalled the rush of excitement he got on the stage.“I want to perform forever.”Leila granted him his desire.When Leila asked Roman to perform one of his magic tricks again, Roman was surprised to find the coin actually disappeared. He searched every hidden compartment, but it was nowhere to be found. Roman tried it again and again. He never pulled the wrong card, he could make things disappear into thin air, and he could even make objects transform in front of people’s very eyes. It was the best gift he ever received.When Roman woke the next morning, he was horrified to find his hands had disappeared. Roman ran to the mirror, and all he found was his clothes around his invisible body. Roman ran to Leila for help, and Leila told him to make sure his magic still worked. Roman did as she asked. The more magic he performed, the more of his body reappeared. Leila explained that if he stopped using his magic, he would disappear completely.Now the boy who wanted nothing but perform would have to forever, just like he wanted. -- source link
