The prince in the break of night having left the others behind on his solo adventure to find the one responsible for the kingdomes falling, having been treading in a single direction from shura dojo he eventually spots civilization, a small town, the prince brushing past the bushes blocking his way enters the town in fascination of how different everything looks, having been the first time he has been somewhere alone, completely ignorant about the surrounding he only has his mask worn because of his promise with shura as a reminder of them, curiously pacing himself walking through the unfamiliar town, as day now breaks its way through the sky he instinctively turns his attention all over throughout town, looking from his right to his left in an attempt to observe everything at once, walking down the path in the middle of town as peoples walk past him they give his strange looks as they continue there everyday lives, the prince gives them a friendly smile as he excitingly walks through the town not paying attention to where he is going, he walks into a middle aged man and his friend.

The prince caught off guard from the impact of the collision, having been light on his feet the difference in weight causes with little to no effort, the prince falls to the ground in front of the man and his friend who look down on the prince with an condescending glare, unflinched on his part by the impact the guys friend shows concern for the boy on the ground, the prince hold s the back of his head with his right hand and fixes the mask covering his face back into place, as he does he takes a look upwards only to find an impatient vexed man with folded arms towering over him with his friend frantically looking at the surrounding around them. "Apologies mine are, attention paying not was i." The prince still on the ground being the first to apologize knowing full well he was at fault. "Where were you looking brat! Whats with that weird way of talking sounds familiar..." The man questions not expecting an answer either way. "What mean by you of talking? New to the town i am, the scenery breathtaking it was, apologize more of once i do." The prince explains the situation though the man has no intention of listening, his friend quietly stays to the mans side.      

A boy with myrtle dark green hair arrives now in the same town the prince is located in, the boy hears commotion from the other side of town faintly, uninterested yet obliged his feet start to move in the direction of the noise that its coming from, all the while with the same emotionless expression he always wore, even with the black trademark scarf covering his mouth it wouldn't be difficult to tell his expression, peoples occasionally shot him a look of curiosity with his different attire, he doesn't respond to there looks of wonder, he continues walking through the town only to find the noise he heard from before.      

"If you want to apologize, than hand over that strange mask your wearing, it looks like it could fetch a good price on the market, children shouldn't be carrying around expensive accessory with them you know?" The man informs the prince with a chuckle who takes a step closer to the prince. "Wait...Your not thinking of actually taking it from the kid are you?" The guys friend surprised and paranoid ask in uncertainty as he sees a crowd of bystanders beging to slowly look there way as they walk past them. "Quiet this wont take long." The man convinced gives a supercilious grin. The nescience prince watches him approach closer to him with a tilt of his head. "Could not do that from i, promise i made, so give to you i cannot." The prince trys to explain but to avail the man refuses to listen to his explanation.     

From the town making its way approaching them arrives a set of footsteps silently making its way over, the noise of the town hardly making it noticeable to hear.   

"You seem to be mistaken i wasnt asking you, i was telling you, if you wont hand it over ill just take it!" The man reaching his impatience takes another step closer toward the prince, he attempts to reach down to grab the mask by force but before he could, he gets interrupted by a pair of leather boots walking in front of the man and the prince on the ground still.
