At a far location from Wartwood. A cart with Bog, Mire, and Fens on it crossed on a stone bridge towards Toad Tower.

Inside the tower there were toads partying, tongue wrestling, playing hit the target with bugs with sharp noses, eating, sleeping, or goofing around.

Suddenly the doors slammed as a toad with green glowing eyes stood there. All the other toads in the room panicked and stopped what they were doing, stood up straight, and saluted.

Grime, the leader of the Toad Tower and fiercest in the land, stepped out of the shadows and walked down the line of toads in front of him.

Grime: "So…these are the valley's strongest warriors…pathetic!" He walked down the line and stopped.

Grime: "Wait, hold on…is this guy seriously wearing his breastplate as pants…?" He asked while looking at the light blue toad in front of him as the toad sweats.

Light blue toad: "Uh…it won't happen again sir…"

Grime: "No it won't…take him to the Pain Room!" He snapped his fingers as two toads with black masks grabbed the Toad's arms and dragged him away.

Light blue toad: "Not the Pain Room! I hate pain!"

It was the last thing he said before he got taken upstairs.

Grime snapped his attention back to the toads. "I'm sure you've all heard frogs in the valley are getting unruly…they're questioning our authority. Some towns have even stopped paying their taxes…and do you know why!?"

Light green toad: "Maybe they I don't know, forgot…?"

Grime: "No you imbeciles! You've all gotten…soft!" He turned around and punched a stone pillar making a dent as the toads gulped.

Grime: "To get this cally under control. I need warriors who are fierce, cunning, and above all…ruthless!"

We move onto a different area of the tower where a bug was eating some spilled food on the floor next to a bowl. Then a rock smashed the bug as it let out a squeak and squirmed.

Sasha: "Get your own food you dumb bug." She heard the door outside of her cell unlock as she looked over in curiosity.

The door fully opened as a Toad's head peeked around the corner. "Hey Sasha, brought you dinner. Cricket Thursday."

He held up the plate with a smile.

Sasha: "Percy!"

Percy: "Hey, I've been working on my act…do you wanna see it?"

Sasha: "Totally, bring it." She said with a smile while shooting a finger gun at him.

Percy: "Okay, stay right there!" He went behind the corner and music was heard playing as he marched back into the room with a marching band set of drums on his back, a horn in his mouth, and an accordion connected from one foot to another. He finished playing and ended it with a pose.

Percy: "Ta-da!"

Sasha applauded at the performance. "Whoo! Whoa! Get it toad! That was legit Percy. Honestly, you're wasting your time here as a guard."

Percy: "You know what? You're right!" He took off his helmet and placed it on a skeleton toad before putting on a jester hat.

Percy: "Thanks Sasha, I can't wait to see the look on Grime's face when I tell him that I'm-"

Grime: "Tell me what…?"

Percy: "Uh…" He looked to the side and booked it out of the room.

Percy: "That I quit and I've always hated this job byeeeeeee!" He yelled while running down the stairs.
