Willow had seen her fathers try and provide despite working for three pennies a day, total.

They often only ate molded bread, and Willow wanted to help! She couldn't, however, as being a servant for the Blights was a job she wasn't paid for.

Just, there was no possibility for a better situation, was there? All Willow could do was rely on any food the youngest, Amity, could get while searching for a paying job that accepted women.

The tides seemed to turn for her, however, when a pirate had put up a job offer to hard to resist.

The notorious Edalyn Clawthorne had offered a paying job to help disguise the ship, and Willow caught drift and offered herself and her palisman.

Eda took one look at her and said; "You're in, kid. Welcome to the team."

--

It had been over five months, when opportunity struck again.

"Ohoho, look at this!" Luz pulled a torn, folded flyer out of her shirt's pocket.

'Prince Hunter Wittebane of the Boiling Isles looking for a suitor. Anyone is welcomed to drop in a form and submit it. Will be reviewed. Thirty thousand snails offered to anyone who gets chosen as a possible suitor and gets a date with the prince.'

"If we send someone and they get picked, we could have a spy!" Gus spoke, smiling.

Willow's mind was focused on the money. A pirate payed well, if you had the loot. Willow sent all she could back home, but it was never enough.

That amount of money? Would make them rich.

"I'll do it." She spoke up.

Everyone looked at her.

"You sure, kid?" Eda asked, concerned. "We wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you."

Willow nodded. "I'll be fine. We can submit the form at the next stop."

Their next stop, Latissa, had a place to submit forms for the suitor thing, and Willow put hers in. For good measure, so did Skara and Viney.

--

The blonde boy leaned into his throne, annoyed at the forms. They seemed to be copied if each other.

Another rich landlord. Another rich landlords daughter.

'Why couldn't there be anyone interesting?!' He thought angrily, throwing the paper form he was reading to the side.

As if by chance, there was someone very interesting.

A girl, with sailing experience and greatly skilled in plant magic. A girl with an education, from a peasant background.

She sounded very interesting to the boy.

"Willow Park, hm?" He forcefully shoved all the other papers aside.

Looking towards a guard, he gave that guard the paper.

"Steve. I want you to find her. I won't look through anymore of those stupid little papers when I likely have a shining piece of gold here." He ordered.

Steve nodded, and ran off.

It hadn't taken long to find Willow and have her brought back to the castle. A matter of hours.
