As a new day began, Alemas the Corrector was completing his daily preparations. He slung a colorful scarf round his neck and threw a dark brown trench coat over his shoulders. As he left his large chambers, the king snatched a large hat to match his coat from his hat shelf. Upon exiting, he dismissed the guards watching his room and walked out onto a balcony. It was a chill autumn day, and the blue-gray clouds that engulfed the sky promised continued gloom. Alemas observed the richer portion of his kingdom. It was crowded with houses and shops. Even from his lofty balcony, he could still see many markets bustling with behavior. The smile that had just appeared on the king's face disappeared quickly, however, when he heard the noise of someone shouting come from one of the markets. Alemas ordered a servant to fetch his law enforcement as he briskly exited the balcony. The king entered his wonderful throne room. from the left side and sat down on his throne. There he waited for the law enforcement to appear. After a few seconds, a strong-looking man entered through the double doors at the front of the room. The man had brown hair, a rough stubble, and a determined look on his face.

"What is the matter, sire?" he asked.

"Someone was shouting in my kingdom. I have faith that you know what to do, Marcel."

"Of course, sire." the man left just as quickly as he had entered, leaving the king all by himself once again. Alemas lowered the brim of his cap and was about to fall asleep in his throne when he was startled by a young messenger bursting through the front doors.

"Sire, someone wishes to speak to you." the messenger stated.

"Very well, take him into the interrogation chambers." Alemas sighed.

Ihawxd soon found himself chained up in every way imaginable to the walls of a small room. Because of the extreme amount of restraining he had received, he could barely even move his neck. This annoyed Ihawxd quite a lot, for there was a constant dripping of water on the back of his head. Alemas entered the stone chamber and greeted his prisoner.

"Hello!" Ihawxd happily smiled at his interrogator, hoping to create a good impression.

"I did not indicate that I wished for you to speak!" Alemas snapped. "Now, I just need you to answer a few questions for me. If you seem trustworthy, I will then answer any of your questions. If you seem untrustworthy, however,  then a punishment will be dealt to you. The severity of this punishment will depend on how unstrworthy you seem. Now, first question: What is your name?"

"My name is Ihawxd."

"And how do you pronounce that?"

"I just pronounced it for you: Ihawxd."

"Err... Okay. Next question: What is your quest?"

"I'm seeking some form of defense for my town."

"What is your favorite color?"

"Red."

"Now, this town you mentioned, were you born there?"

"Yes."

"What is the name of the town?"

"Holden."

"How many inhabitants are there in this town?"

"Um... Around 40, I'd say..."

"Are there any neighboring villages?"

"No."

"Do you have any proof that this town even exists?"

"I have a map..." Ihawxd answered. "I'd get it out, but, you know, I can't really move."

"I'll see it when I'm done asking you questions. What sort of work did you do in this town?"

"I helped build stuff."

"What sort of animals do you have in this town?"

"We have horses, pigs, chickens and cows."

"No wild animals?"

"Oh... There are rabbits, ferrets and groundhogs."

"How tall is your house?"

"I never measured it, but-"

"How far away is your horse from other houses?"

"I never measured that, either but I'd-"

"How tall is your best friend?"

"Why do you think I would measure all these things?"

"I'm the one asking the questions, not you!" Alemas quickly turned back and exited the room to consult with his detective.

The drops of water, which had been dripping all through the interrogation, Were now an extreme annoyance. The monotonous dripping made it feel like almost a whole hour before Alemas came back in. "We have decided that you are most likely an honest traveler. But we wish to see your map." Alemas retrieved a key from one of his pockets and unlocked the chains holding Ihawxd's right arm, allowing him to hand the king his poorly drawn map. Alemas scrutinized the map.

"It's badly drawn because our townspeople never really leave Holden, and as a reult-" Ihawxd attempted to explain, but was cut off.

"Alright, you'll be permitted to stay in my castle for no more than 24 hours. Guards, unchain him!"
