Once there was a man who lived at a very old shrine. His wife was ill and he had little money.
He lived on top a very large hill where it was peaceful and quiet, and a large tree stood that has lived for over 500 years. On the edge of the shrine was a little shed that held a well as old as the tree.
Every day he would say a prayer and toss a flower in to the well. And each day the flowers would disappear. One day when he went to pray a basket of herbs was sitting at the bottom of the well along with a note.
One with a message that brought happiness to his heart. With the medicine his saved his wife and together they had a child, a small girl named Hana, for he thought of the girl as his prayer.
She was a wild child who loved to make messes and she would run so fast that he had trouble catching her. But they were happy and together until one day an accident occurred and his wife passed away. That day he took Hana to the well and told her a story of a sister he had.
"My sister was special you see, she loved everyone and took it upon herself to save the world. She went through the well and it took her to find her true love. My sister left a long time ago but sometimes I think she's still with me even today. Mama may have left us but in our hearts she still here. If we let bad thoughts take us, then the spirits won't be happy anymore."
Hana simply nodded and looked in to the well. She jumped up and ran only to come back with a flower. She closed her eyes, made a wish, and tossed in her flower. She took her papa's hand and went back to the house.
That night she went back to the well and noticed her flower was gone.
She closed her eyes and jumped in. when she opened them she saw the clear night sky rather than her roof. She climbed up to see six little kids older than her running around. The oldest seemed to be the two twin girls one with long hair and the other with it short.
Behind them was a boy about a year younger than them with short brown hair and a wide smile. He was hold another boys hand while running. The boy was asking him to stop but the other didn't seem to care. He finally broke free and ran toward a tree. He had short simmering black hair and brown eyes, but he seems to have a wolfs tail. A girl had stopped and went to talk to the wolf boy.
She had long silver hair and what seemed to be dog ears atop her head. Another boy was just standing there looking at the sky. He too had long silver hair and black eyes with what seemed to be a crescent moon on his forehead
. The children seemed happy but strange, Hana wanted to join but she was afraid. All of a sudden she was lifted into the air; she was placed on the ground next to the well with a man standing in front of her.
"You know they might enjoy the company. Why don't you have a little fun tonight?' he smiled at her.
She wasn't afraid anymore and she ran towards the other children. They stopped and looked and her. The boy with silver hair walked up and grabbed her hand and began to run. The others soon followed and together the children played all night.
The kids laid down exhausted from running till the man came and picked up Hana. "This one need to go home now. Don't tell your parent I was here. It's supposed to be a surprise.
as the sun rose the girl with silver hair had black hair and told everyone it was time to head him. She stopped and watched as the man walked toward the well with the girl in his arms. The man jumped through the well and came to the other side.
She took her to the house and in to her room. "how did I get back," she asked.
"I have an enchanted necklace my sister's friends gave me that allows me to travel through barriers so I brought you back home. I have to go now. Its best if you don't travel through the well for now ok? When you're ready then you may come back." "how will I know if I'm ready?" "Trust me, when the day comes, you'll know. Good bye for now, Hana."
The man leapt through the window and back into the well. And just like that the true story begins
