This is my first story for Fanfiction. Please don't go easy on me. Give me the good and the bad so that I may improve on my writing skills and better the story.
Declaimer: I do not own any of the characters in Pucca. Though some of the characters from Pucca description may be a tad bit different but not by much. I'll try to keep appearance and personality the same as much as possible. All I own is the plot and future characters that will make their appearances.
Prologue
20th Century
Japan
Mount Fuji
As dawn broke over the horizon, red-orange coloring slowly replaced the once onyx night sky. A soft breeze blew by gently waking up the sleeping animals and creating soft ripples in Lake Saiko. Soon birds spread their wings, taking flight in the now bright sky, gracefully soaring with the wind over Avokigahara Forest that looked as if it was a sea of trees, singing as they welcomed the sun and bathing in the warm sunlight. The forest ran north-west for miles and miles, never seeming to end. For those that do not know the secret of the forest, would wonder forever more as the trees grew so tall, it became nearly impossible to navigate out. Never to been seen again or to only be found died that only the brave; or foolish, would enter Avokigahara.
To the west of Avokigahara Forest, it shared a bank with Lake Saiko. Surrounded by beds of wild flowers, while butterflies of different colors fluttered by. Fish swimming within the waters only enhanced the beauty of the lake. The sounds of rabbits, deer's, brown bears and other forest creatures lived together in perfect harmony, as nature should.
To the east of Avokigahara Forest, following a river up-stream, the sound of a waterfall comes roaring though the forest. Reaching the waterfall, boulders laid at the bottom of the water and when looking up, the water came pouring out a little more than half way up a mountain. Centuries of a river form the other side of the mountain, slowly moving the rocks in front, finally broke through the strong and solid rock. Two neighboring mountains stood by, each taking a place to block the path of any intruder that dared try threatening its peace and harmony. For when one were to stare at the three mountains form afar, one would think a dragon was rising from the depth of the Earth while the mountains on the sides would complete the look by adding wings and arms.
If the world actually knew the secrets that this forest held, they would know that once you made it through and reached the end, at the very base of Mount Fuji, lays a village. A village that been hidden for a thousand years by Avokigahara Forest, Mount Fuji and Lake Saiko. A peaceful village for many years, it is also the home of Japan's finest ninjas and although this small village could protect itself, the people haven't had to fight in over a millennium and they planned on keeping it that way for many more years to come. Unknown to anyone, that peace was ending.
It all starts here, in the small village of Sooga.
