Toddy was 16, and all alone...except for the blacksmith she worked for. She called him Joe, even though he was called Dave. Dave was kind, but only to her, and stood up for her even when she didn't ask him to. Toddy lived alone, and was very shut off from the world. She was frequently called up to the cracker-box palace to fix something. She was very handy with tools. The Cracker-Box Palace was where the king, and queen spent their days. She had black hair down to her shoulders, and lavender colored eyes. She wasn't too ugly, but not as pretty as the girl EVERYONE fawned over. Her name was Violet. Toddy walked over to the Forgery Place, and began to work on the swords for the army, but stopped short. The regular hammering wasn't happening across the workshop. The fire wan't going either. She walked over to the usual place Joe worked. She found him asleep at his desk.

"TODDY!" Dave came running as fast as his little legs would carry him.

"Davy What are you doing here, I thought I told you to stay in the house! What are you doing here?" Toddy asked.

"Well, these guys came to the house, and said that they needed you DESPERATELY at Cracker-Box!" He said looking around.

"Why do you seem nervous?" Toddy asked cocking her eyebrow.

"Well, I may have told them where you work..." He trailed.

"WHAT?" Toddy exploded, "THAT WAS THE ONLY THING KEEPING YOU SAFE AT NIGHT!" Toddy said looking around. Little David looked at his feet as she spotted 2 guards looking around, and not noticing her, "Go out, and tell them I got a different job, and that I never worked here, these guys don't know who I am, so they don't know what to look for. Tell them that this is where you thought I worked, but not where I really work." She thought quickly, "Now why do they need me?"

"Just come with me!" He said. Toddy, and David snuck past the guards, and made their way to Cracker-Box Palace. Toddy sent David home to tell the guards those things, while she stayed behind, and found out what they wanted. She was sent to the Sergent by the name of Pepper, and he was next to a rather beautiful girl she reconized her as Violet.
