Mr. McNutcracker

Once upon a time, a beautiful maid of the most blissful nature and a nutcracker, made of wood, found love. Odd couple, but pure in love for sure. Created by black magic, the wooden soldier was created by the sorcerers of the land to fight the forces of evil. Dutiful he went into battle and with great effort defeated his foes. However, the cost was high… his enemies knew his weakness. In his final battle against the incarnation of evil he was incinerated and while being victorious… he burned to ashes. This statue remembers both the valor and the will to look death in the eye for a cause worth dying for. And McNutcracker? Well, legend holds of a powerful spell that reincarnated the wooden man as human… curiously… the fair lady has also never been seen again. An unsolved mystery.
