Emiko is walking by the street after getting kicked out of her house by her mother

'Get out of this house and never come back again! I don't wanna see your face anymore you little shit!' Her mother furiously exclaimed as she shuts the door with a loud thud.

She tried her best not to cry while walking to nowhere, but failed to do so, she missed her father very much.

Night came by and she reached the forest, she sat under a sleep, readying to sleep for the night.

The sound the russeling leaves woke her up at the middle of the night, "he-hello? Is some body there?" She called out, there was no answer. She stood up and ran.

The sound of the russeling bushes started to pick up again, she ran and ran, fear fueling her adrenaline.

Then, she crushed unto somebody, she looked up and she saw a tall man, in a suit and mask. Panicked at the stranger, she stumbled back "who are you? Wh-hat do you want from me??"

Calm washed over her as the man spoke,he crouched down to reach my level "hello, Emiko" Tears sprang back to her eyes, waiting to overflow, his voice reminded her so much of her father "p-papa?" The man shook his head "No, I am not your father, but I am his friend, at the day he died, He made me promise him to take care of you and consider you as my own child, and I am here fulfill his wish" I looked at him, contemplating on whether I should believe him, then I saw the necklace on him that me and my father only share.

Tears overflowed from my eyes, happy to know someone is here by my side to support and love me again "So, Emiko, would you like to explore the magic of this forest with me?" He held out his hand as the forest shifted into a beautiful and magical place.
