Prince Toby stared over his kingdom and sighed. the glanced over the whole village down to the shops and sidewalks and banks and houses. God, he would give anything to walk those streets as a normal kid. a normal teenager... but no time to dwell, he had things to do! he walked back inside from the balcony and walked down the hall his boots clacking on the ground. 

he slid down the spiral staircase "weee" he says quietly getting off at the bottom. he smiled and continued to walk to the blacksmith. he could hear chatter from the inside of the Blackstone arch and he froze. the voice wast George, or Nick, but he could hear his cousin Clays voice but the other voice he didn't know, wait, 2 voices someone else was there. he approached and listened to the conversation...

"we're very sorry to bother you we were just wondering if you would be interested in any new metals?" said the unknown voice. "we have quite a rare and fine selection," said the other unknown voice. "hmm maybe, what have you got?" said Clay.  "Tungsten, titanium, iron, copper, amethyst.." the first said. Clay paused a long moment "I'm interested in your amethyst, tungsten, and copper" Clay says "how much for a bit?". "3 gold for tungsten, 1 for copper, 2 for amethyst. Clay sighed and there was a sound of items being exchanged. "Pleasure doing business with ya!" The 2nd voice said. There was the sound of footsteps and Toby froze by the doorway, and the 2 figures looked at him. The first seemed confused but the second instantly bowed "sorry to bother your blacksmith, we just wanted to exchange materials" they muttered. "It's fine," Toby says.

The 2 figures hurried off to the exit, Tubbo went to enter the blacksmith when there were more footsteps "Toby! Toby prince Toby!" A hurried voice said. Toby sighed and turned. Mark stopped in front of Toby "nick wants to teach you violin" he said. Toby sighed and Mark took his hand. He lead him down the hall, up a staircase, and into a side room with a nice big window. he looked around and spotted 2 stools, Nick was on one with a violin. nick smiled at Tubbo and gestured him over. Tubbo sat on the other stool taking the violin beside it. Mark left and closed the door.

"you hold it like this-" Nick demonstrates by holding the violin a certain way and positioning the playing strings. Toby did the same smiling. "then you lightly drag the strings across the others" Nick plays a nice note. Toby does the same making the same note. after a while of playing notes and random tunes, Tubbo played mary had a little lamb on the violin, and Nick clapped congratulating them. Toby smiles at Nick's approval. 

after a while toby stands up and nods exiting the room and through the hallways, he went up another set of stairs and entered a library with large bright windows that flooded the place. tubbo sighed searching the shelves, through fantasy to facts to Syfy to horror. he found nothing interesting. so he chose a book about bees, he never got tired of bees. yet, he put the book back and left. he knew what he wanted and he was going to do it. he went to his bedroom and buried himself in his bed. he closes his eyes and sighed. he slowly drifted off...
