The young medical nin leaned back against a tree and wiped his forehead tiredly. Exausted from completing his his latest mission, he slid down the great trunk and let the sounds of the forrest fill his ears. Just before he could remove his trademark circular glasses and drift into sleep, a brilliant flash of purple in the thick green bushes caught his eye. Curious, he got up from his resting place and walked to the bright patch of color. Reaching into the thorns, he carefully worked his hands through the brush until he pulled the object, a mask, from the briars and held it to the sun. He marveled at the attention to detail the brilliant shades of color, the smooth orange bumps dotted with green that were the eyes, the unique heart shape, and the small, multicolored spikes on each side. Walking back to the tree with the mask in his hand,he sat back down and lazily ran his fingers over the shining surface. After a while he began to toy with the idea of putting the mask on. An inner instinct was imploring him to say no, but the luminous orange eyes were screaming yes.
