Toffee escorts you down a small rock table in an elegant looking garden. The table is round and so is the rock bench that sits by it. Small blades of grass peek through a small crack down the center of the bench and the flowers surrounding the area makes you sniffle a bit. It's an overwhelming amount of pollen at one time, but you choose not to mind it. He motions for you to sit and you do so. He lays a plate down in front of you with a clink on the stone table and unravels a few fish.

Your stomach growls in anticipation, but you remember your manners. You look up at Toffee, wondering if he's going to sit down or not. You grow impatient.

"Toffee," you say, firmly but polite. "Are you going to eat anything?"

He looks at you, curious. "Proper, are we? Yes, I am." he says and sits down on the same bench, yet on the other side. He pulls a bag out from under the bench and pulls out a large sandwich with a strange sparkle to it. You look down at your plate, feeling a bit awkward to eat in front of someone other than your family, but your stomach urges you to eat.
'Fffiiiineee...' you think angrily to your stomach. You pick up one of the fish and begin to eat it quickly, bones and all. You soon finish the other two and then you look at Toffee. He's finished his sandwich and was brushing the bread crumbs off of his hands. He looked to you.

"You have a little fish on your lip" he says jokingly.

You wipe your mouth, never breaking your gaze from his. You can't help but adore his golden eyes...

"Now, Princess, I'd like to ask you something..." he says as he pushes a picture of someone to you. The picture shows a tall green lizard man with purple tint to his...scale...hair...thing?

You question it before looking at Toffee. "If you're going to ask if i know who this is, then no, I don't."

He smirks, impressed by your correct assumption. Then his face goes right back to the blunt expression it always is. He then leans closer and looks at you.

"This septarian works for Heinous, former headmistress of Saint Olga's reform school for wayward princesses. He was a former soldier of my army...along with..."

He slaps more pictures onto the table. One monster with a singular horn and purplish skin, a monster with a very, very large mouth, and a...mewman?

"That one" you point to the one similar to you. "Who is she??"

Toffee looks at the picture then at you. "That was one of my greatest warriors. She fought like a monster, but truly, she was a Mewman. She was the queen's rebel sister..."

"And I believe these three had a hand in the killing of Moon's mother."

"Toffee, her sister? Are you sure?.."

"Tsk, fine. Don't believe me" he grumbles as he shoves the pictures into his pocket and begins to walk off.

"Toffee, wait! I'm...I'm sorry, Toffee..." you whimper as you look down slowly...

(Toffee's mind)

'Dammit...Why do I have this sudden and huge urge to comfort her...'

(Back to you)

You whimper softly as you look at the blank plate on the table. Then suddenly, you have arms around you. Warm, comforting, arms..

You look up slightly and see Toffee with his arms around you. He gently rubs your head as he holds you closer.

"Hush, Princess..."

He sighs. You get the feeling he let go of something he was fighting to keep control of. You nuzzle gently into his chest and smell his tux. It's the most comforting smell you've ever, well, smelled.

You nestle his chest more as you feel a strange movement of him. You feel it a couple more time to realize that he's rubbing your back with his right hand.

You slowly begin to doze off in the garden with him. A cool breeze blows your and gently along with his..

(Toffee's Point of View)

She's so beautiful...on the inside mostly...kind and beautiful. Why would Eclipsa...why would she do this to someone like her?! Tsk...why am I caring so much about this anyways...she's a...Mewman...

But she's not.

She's just like Ravena... The queens sister.

(FLAAAAASSSSHHHBAAAAAACCK!)

The Mewmans were sending heavy armed men into out village. Families, they were slaughtered. Names, they perished in the flames. But only a small group of Septarians fought back...
And the leader was none other than Ravena, rebel princess...
She had always wanted to bond monsters and Mewmans together, but despite her pleas, her begs, her sacrifices, she didn't get anywhere with it...
So she revolted.
Getting trained by the strongest of knights in the castle in disguise, she soon became a master swordsmen.
She fought aside all of them, helping wounded monsters and aiding families in searches for safety...
No one knows of her legacy or even the fact she existed, because her sister, Queen Butterfly, wiped out every little trace of her. She never even got to meet her niece, Moon.
Unfortunately, Toffee did.

In the middle of all of the fighting, a woman called out.
"Stop!" she commanded, and all of the knights did so. Queen Butterfly stepped out into the scene. She ordered all of her guards to stand down, and they did.
She offered a peace treaty to the monsters, and got very close to doing so, until everything went black...

A scream in pain was heard...

Death hung sticky in the air like blood..

And when the sun shined through again, the queen had been killed.

Toffee, the warrior splattered in more blood than of them all trying to protect his family, was instantly framed. Everyone listened to him, they assumed. All except for a small group of monsters lead by an evil and corrupted Princess...
