Janina chose to stop her shows and became an animal care worker and Joachim became the circuses presentation.

One day, Joachim concluded he became too old to share a tent with his sister and Candice - so he moved into the tent of the last organization - recently found hung. From there, strangely he started to flirt with Candice. He disregarded Janina, passing as time as possible with Candice.

And, just after that, he became the former Joachim. He didn't speak but Candice felt the difference. It was as if, in one second, they lost all their complicity, making her really confused; Thought she accessed his request and went into Joachim's tent when the brotherhood was talking on the opposite of the circus. When she entered, her attention was instantly caught by an old, wooded, mirror. On all the right part, long of 35-40cm, there was a general. Dressed like a jester, the statue's skin was lavender with blue long hair and black red-pinkish eyes. They were glowing like a gem. She noticed his clothes had exactly the same colors as her scene outfits -which was a gift of Joachim.

Intrigued, Candice came closer and watched her reflection, not in the mirror but in the general's eyes. Immediately, she heard a voice in the tent-making turned back. It wasn't anything. The voice talked and she understood it came from the mirror. Actually, the exact copy of the jester, but alive and speeching, was living in the mirror. Scared but paralysed, she didn't move.

According to his words, Candice realized the fact it was with the jester -named Candy Pop- she talked every time, passed all these moments, it was him who offered her these outfits. She cared for him, Candy Pop, not Joachim. He supplied her to take the mirror, she agreed and brought into her tent (shared with Janina) during the absence of the brotherhood.

The only who understands her, who does the effort for her!
