As told by The Ringmaster. The Ringmaster formulates a plan that causes Trick Rider to betray the group and get banished to the Crypto Corner Club. The Ringmaster recites the Eternal Flame Prayer and is instantly vaporized by the goddess Cryptococcosis. While aflame the Ringmaster sees the past, present, and future and is sent through the void.
He rises only fast enough to be killed by the Dark Lord. He drifts through the veil and sees Cryptococcosis destroy Toxoplasmosis and Coccidioidomycosis. The Ringmaster begins his ascent into the afterlife but his soul is captured by the goddess and they go to collect the souls of the Lords of The Abyss.
