The Log
We were lead to the Stonemason's shop, and I was at awe when I saw a few buskers playing on fiddles, flutes, violas, and accordions, and then I stared at the stonemasons, some didn't have any fingers, hands or arms, others lost their legs, toes, and other limbs. So we were at the worst part, the disposer, it was silent, dimly lighted.
We went to our knees and our job was to clean out the machines and clocks of all the stone chunks and cobblestones inside, and I saw a busker, slightly my age, he was on the viola, I walked up to him and greeted him with a hello, and he asked me "Are you a busker as well?" And I looked at him and felt mercy for him I responded "No, but I don't have a family."
He continued "Are you homeless?"
I answered "No, but I'm owned by a foster home."
He stared at me, looking down at the ground, and stopped playing, he got up and he said "Well, it was nice to meet you." "My name is Enrique." Raymond yelled from eh distance "Get back to work! And The First Creation owns you Nick! So I order you to play!"
I walked away, and Nick started to played again, and I cleaned the gutters out, and almost lost a hand, but Max got the hand of it, he got about 7 bags today, and I looked at Nick, and he stared at me, but it is like he wants me to do something for him, to set him free. I walked up to him when my five minute break was commencing.
"Nick. I need you to do something something for me."
Nick looked at me with a confused look, and I stared back and he grew a smile.

The day went by longer, we all went back to our cell sweating, and I almost lost hand today, Nick saw the whole thing, Raymond reminded me that I have 364 days left until my duel is set. I heard knocking. Raymond opened the door.
It was Nick!
He greeted Raymond with a bow and said "I was summoned here by a worker." Raymond knew that one was me. So he told him "By who, this is not on your contract your family signed." Nick responded "Yes, you even made me read it and remember it, and it said 'The workers of the mason's shop are allowed to be summoned to the prisoner's cell and play a request' And that is Chapter 4 Subsection 5 Paragraph 8 Sentence 1."
Raymond stared down at the ground saying it in a very low tone "Fine, you can play. But you can only do one song."
