Running through the forest, Itazura swatted loose branches out of his way. Shouts of soldiers rang in the background as they barked orders to each other. Stopping short, he looked left and right and tried to quickly decide which way to go. Not wanting to risk being caught, He turned left and sprinted toward the village of Toraiaru. Just as he was about to cross over into another territory, an arrow rushed by and landed with an all-too-familiar splat. Stopping in his tracks, Itazura looked down at the arrow now implanted in his chest. Before he could react,
someone hit him in the back of his head, knocking him unconscious.

"...and in conclusion, Itazura is considered guilty for this crime. He will be executed by midnight ." The Mayor announced. Itazura looked forward, his eyes looking bright . "Executed?" He questioned with a sly smile. "How so? Guillotine? Hanging? Electrocution?"
There was a sweep of uneasy murmurs from the audience. In a
flash he immediately hopped on top of the podium. All the townsfolk starred in horror as Itazura tore the arrow from his own chest, not so much as blinking when he did so. Throwing the arrow to the cowering feet of the Mayor, he nodded toward the crowd with a playful smile and hopped off the podium. Itazura rushed through the crowd, and out towards the forest. As he left, one villager turned to the Mayor. "Sir, I believe my gold-sack is missing!" another voice followed, saying "My engagement ring is missing!" More and more voices were shouting, getting louder by each second. In fact, the voices got so loud that a man who was just leaving said town and entering the forest had a wide smile to himself as he studied the ring on his finger and the coins in his pocket. As Itazura examined these things, he found a map leading to a 'powerful treasure' deep in the forest. A laugh echoed through the forest, signaling to the stars that it was time for this story to officially begin.
