**In the forest of Wildwood there was a large royal castle, and you were best friends with the governess's (Alexandra) son, Alexei. Alexei had died in a horse riding accident which his mother in secret used dark magic to bind his soul into a body built with internal clockwork and machinery. Upon Alexei realizing this he locked his bedroom door, took his robe off, and really stared at himself in the mirror in genuine disbelief. "..im not real..?" and he now stood on the ledge of his porch, just outside his bedroom, blue sky dimly lighting his bare chest his blue robe hanging on the rail, as he stood there crying black oil, symbolizing how he isnt truly a human. "Alexei why is the door locked ? What's wrong? Alexei, Please!!" Alexandra finally got the door unlocked, busting it open and running toward him. He turned his head to face her, just silently crying black oil. Alexandra stood there in silence, and so did you in pure shock not knowing how he "Survived" the accident. Then it started to thunderstorm, the blue night sky was dim, pouring rain. then Alexei turned away, shattered his chest with a push of his hand, yanked out what was technically his mechanical cogwheel heart, and just looked at it, and he slowly died, falling off the edge. "NOOOO!" Alexandra yelled, running to the edge but failing to save him in time. She ran downstairs outside, mourning. She held alexei's body, sobbing over his chest, cradling him as the gear rolled out of alexei's limp hand. His exposed, shattered chest showing the inside machinery. He was gone, He chose death instead of living as a machine. Alexandra was then carried away by multiple people as everyone stared in shock, she was tried as a witch and sent to the darkest heart of the forest, exiled as punishment for her uses of dark magic.
