Alright I'm back. So anyway the concert went well, I played perfectly. Nobody messed up too much it was good. While i was backstage slackening my bow this man came up to me. He was tall and wearing a long trench coat with a hood that cast his face in shadow. He also had huge boots though i didn't hear him walk up to me.

"Come you with me please?" he asked in what had to be a false accent.

Thinking he was a stage hand or something i answered "sure" and followed him , leaving my violin and bow in their open case. he quickly led me down a staircase into a labyrinth of unfinished concrete corridors. It wasn't until i was sure that we were lost that it dawned on me: i had no idea why he wanted me to come with him. Promptly i asked him.

"We go to the court of King U" he replied without a hint of jest.

"Who?" i asked

"No not who U King U my best friend" he replied seriously.

"There's no such person!"

"Yes. There. Is. I'm, his best friend!"

"Fine Mr. Accent, where is he?" i demanded hotly.

"I'd imagine he's at home in his castle"

"Why would some king want to see me?"

"I don't know why but you are the one who set this thing off" he answered holding up a little box, "so you're the one I'm to bring strait to the King after all kings orders is orders."

"Oh no!" I told myself "He's crazy and I'm lost with him in a maze of a basement!  what am i going to do?" Out loud i said, "No! You can go see him but I'm going... I'm going um" I faltered just what way would I be going?

The man grinned "King's orders your coming" he grabbed my hand and pulled me farther into the maze of tunnels.
