Prologue
"Somone help!" a young girl sceams as she runs through the forest. She wore a comoners kimono and an adult kimono top draped over her head. She turned her face to the scene behind her, four very skilled samurai were following at her heals. They had been following her for up to five days with very little rest. The young girl was at her physical end, but she pleaded and pleaded to her legs to hold out just a bit longer. She knew it had been rumored that somone like her lived in the village just ahead, unfortunately her body gave out and she collapsed at the foot of tree. Her fear rose, as she watched the samurai's approched her she couldn't keep her fear in anymore...and let out, a blood cur tiling scream so loud it could be heard by the gods far above...
