It was Christmas Eve this evening in London. With your father and siblings out at a party runned by your God Father, and now, he's announced to open gifts! So you run outside, snow falling from the night sky, and you go on the search for your string. With your name on it of course. Minutes later, you see your string, and with a smile you follow it. You follow and follow until you reach a wide dark hallway. You stare at it, until out of curiosity, you went through

As you walk through, you see light from the end, until you step into...a forest? It was snowing! How odd, what was this world you suddenly walked into? Either way, you keep walking into the forest, the frigid air catching up to you as you do so. After walking deeper into the forest, you encounter a post, along with a bridge next to it. But there is someone in the post...a solider. But not just any, a..nutcracker?

"Good riddance-!" He speaks, almost tumbling out of his post "Who goes there? Hm...who are you" He says as he points his sword, until he realizes, and next thing you know, he's on one knee

"Oh do forgive me, Y-Your Highness...I did not mean to burst out in such emotion, I-" He takes a look at you, goodness...you were so beautiful "Y-Yes...forgive me..." He says, before fixing his posture, standing up again, bowing to you with a smile
