Story With Name Not Yet Known
Once upon a time, there was a little girl that lived in a castle.

It was a very dark castle, and it was hard to see.

There were no windows, and the only lights came from lanterns.

The castle was also very big, but the little girl had never gone to most of the castle. Her entire life, she had been restricted to a small portion of the castle that contained only a bedroom, a kitchen, and a small library.

The castle was also very big, but the little girl had never gone to most of the castle. Her entire life, she had been restricted to a small portion of the castle that contained only a bedroom, a kitchen, and a small library. The man spent only three days at the castle each month, and only one day would he spend time with the girl. The man told the girl to call him "father." Each month, he would teach her about the outside world from books that taught about dark people, criminals, and witches, and how wicked and cruel the world was. The man tried every visit to teach the girl that the world was evil, and to never venture outside the castle.

But the girl wouldn't listen, insisting there was more, and she tried to find an escape during any moment she could get away from her father and the maid. But for years, she found none.

But one day, just days before her father was due to appear again, she found something.

That day, the maid had gotten sick, and had been resting in her quarters, so the little girl, who had been learning to cook from the maid, made her own meal. But the girl, who had always been a bit clumsy, accidentally dropped several pots. While picking them up, she noticed one had hit the wall and it had caused one of the stones to be pushed into the wall.

Curious, the girl investigated the wall, pushing the stone farther into the wall. Suddenly, the stones began to move, and a passageway opened.

Quickly moving so the maid would not catch her, the girl went into the passageway and quickly walked through a long, dark hallway, stumbling every few steps, as there was very little light.

Eventually, a small light appeared ahead, and it grew bigger and bigger until she reached a large, open room with stain-glass windows with a large, closed door.

Looking around at the beautiful windows, she stood there in awe at the sunlight that poured in through the multicolored glass. After a few moments, she realized that the maid could realize she was gone any time, and quickly went to the doors and opened them. Outside was a forest seemed to go on forever, and she stepped outside onto the grass. Ecstatic, she quickly took off through the forest.

However, it wasn't long before she realized she had no idea what was out there, or where she was going. Almost panicking, she wondered if she should go back, when suddenly, the maid appeared, crashing through the trees in a panicked frenzy.

The maid yelled at her for doing something so foolish, and then, the girl realized that she shouldn't, couldn't go back. Defending herself, she brought up the point that the maid had to stay there at the castle for forever as well. The maid, who was only a few years older than the girl, thought about this, and agreed that maybe going out into the world would be better. The maid, who had barely been eleven when she had begun to serve the girl, was now in her late teenage years, and had for long been old enough to marry, work, and get an education from the few schools that offered teaching to females.

So the two took off through the forest, the maid using the little memory and knowledge of the nearby area she had to navigate them.

Eventually, the two found a village, both hungry and tired from their journey. Finding an inn, they went inside and were greeted by a young man.

The boy introduced himself as Ers, the inkeeper's son, who was watching the place while his father was away fighting in the war. The girl, suddenly realizing she had to say her own name, knew she could not say her real identity. Quickly searching the room for any idea of a name, as her knowledge of them were very little, she spotted a fabric in the corner of the room and spoke, "Dot."

The maid, who also had the same idea, said the name "Leaf" from spotting a tree out of one of the inn's windows.

Ers, knowing they must have journeyed very far and were very hungry, offered them a small meal and a room to stay in for the night.
