Far beyond the distant hills, beyond the deserts and the winding roads, there stood a city unlike any other.
A city of gold.
Its towers rose high into the sky, its domes glittered beneath the sun, and its countless streets twisted and turned through a maze of markets, palaces, workshops, and homes.
At the heart of this magnificent city stood the royal palace, where King Nod ruled over his kingdom alongside his heir, the prince/princess Guest
The people lived beneath the protection of three golden balls mounted upon the highest tower of the palace.
For it was said that so long as the three golden balls remained in their place, the kingdom would remain safe.
Yet among all the kings, princesses, sorcerers, soldiers, and armies of this great kingdom, there lived one very small and very quiet man.
A humble cobbler named Tack.
The Golden City was bustling beneath the afternoon sun, its streets alive with merchants, musicians, and wandering crowds.
Among them walked the heir to King Nod's throne. Guest Dressed in fine royal clothes but without an entourage, the young heir wandered away from the palace and into one of the city's quieter streets.
There, tucked between two crooked little buildings, was a tiny cobbler's shop.
Prince/Princess Guest paused.
Curious, they stepped inside.
The shop was cramped and cluttered, filled with shoes, leather, tools, scraps of material, and all manner of things waiting to be repaired.
Behind the counter stood Tack.
He looked up.
He blinked.
The heir, Guest, began quietly looking around the little shop.
Tack simply watched them, his expression becoming increasingly curious.
After all...
It wasn't every day that royalty wandered into his shop.
