A titan in the shape of a giraffe, one who happily walked across the cloud sea, a mass of vegetation growing all over its body as creatures both monstrous and humanoid lived in harmony with the nature of this massive beast. This was the Titan, Gromott.

On the back of this titan, a large town had been settled, seemingly perfectly in tune with the nature of the Titan, with houses made out of the growing trees and massive roots, this was the capital city of Gormott, known as Torigoth.

In this town, a mass of people with Cat Ears known as Gormotti, were seen living their lives in this town, doing jobs, selling things, buying things, making things, and much more. As they did, a group of Gormotti children were seen running around with swords, spears and shields made out of wood, running at and clashing the wooden toy weapons together yelling and laughing with and at eachother as they fought eachother, some adults and parents watching the children playing, chuckling at their happiness. The happy laughter of the children was heard all over Torigoth as they “fought” around the fountain in the center of town.

Near the center of town, a large mansion-like house was seen, gate infront of the building as some odd armored soldiers stood around the building guarding and protecting it. Inside of the giant house, near one of the top windows, a young girl with long black hair, wearing a fancy dark colored dress with an odd insignia over the girl’s heart, was seen sitting on a bed, staring out her open window, watching the group of children playing in the distance, listening to their laughter… her face holding a conflicted expression as she watched them in envy… The door to the room was then heard opening, causing the small girl to jump a bit, as a voice broke the calming silence.

“My Lady!”

The fancy Scottish voice spoke up, causing the girl to grow a saddened expression as she sat back in her bed and turned, only to see a man dressed in fancy butler’s clothes, walking over with a pot of Tea and a cut in his hand.

Butler: “What has Lord Lian told you about staring out that accursed window.”

Girl: “... It wastes time that should be spent studying…”

The girl said rather meekly as she sat there, staring down at her hands as she held them together in her lap.

Butler: “Absolutely. You may not see it now, but your studies are extremely important my lady.”

The butler began as he pulled a small table infront of the girl’s bed, placing down a cup, and pouring tea into it, before he reached over to a large book and placed it next to the steaming cup. But as the butler did this, the girl was seen looking out the window again, towards the Gormotti children all her age playing in the street… then… the girl spoke up.

Girl: “I…”

Butler: “Hmm? Yes, my lady?”

Girl: “I… I want to go out and play with the other children… I… don’t want to be cooped up here all day…”

The girl said, causing the Butler to gain a serious expression, as he reached over, grabbed the window and pulled it shut, silencing the outside laughter.
