"What a beautiful day!"
Yuna Asakura stepped out of her front door and looked at the large meadow, which was covered with flowers of all kinds. Again the thought occurred to her how beautiful she found her life. Her parents were long dead, but she liked her small and cozy house outside of Chiyo Village. A small forest separated them from the village. Her house was surrounded by a large open meadow and it smelled pleasant every day when she woke up and looked at the bright sky.
"Now I have to get down to work," she said to herself and began to pull out the flower pots.
Yuna was a flower girl. She loved flowers more than anything and made a living from them. She tended the flowers in the meadow and then picked them to sell to the villagers. There wasn't a lot of money, but she was happy for that.
"Good afternoon, Yuna."
Yuna turned and saw a familiar face.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Hiroshi. Nice to see you.Would you like flowers for your wife again? ", Yuna asked.
She was happy to see him. Katsu Hiroshi was an elderly man in his fifties and the mayor of Chiyo. Since Yuna's parents died, he took care of them and visited them constantly. He treated her almost like a granddaughter because he was a generous and wise man.
"Yes. My wife loves your flowers and sent me to get some," he said with a friendly expression.
"You are just in time, Mr. Hiroshi. I have some new and fresh flowers that your wife will definitely like." "Please. You smell very pleasant," Yuna handed the pot to the old man.
"Thank you, Yuna. You are beautiful and make me forget all worries ..." Mr. Hiroshi looked worried.
"What is it, Mr. Hiroshi? Were Hao's shamans back in the village?", Yuna's expression worsened."Yes, last night. They wanted to plunder our village, but miraculously the shamans were driven away by a snow storm. We were all very surprised and didn't know what was going on, but we were glad they were driven away. Still do I'm worried. Hao's shamans could come back anytime. "
"That is really strange. Couldn't you do anything against the shamans despite your strong protective spirit?", Yuna asked worried.
"No, unfortunately not. I think Hao gave his followers his Furioku. They were all almost invincible."
"Yes, Hao would do anything to destroy our village. Mr. Hiroshi, I could help you protect the village. Chiyo is my home and I don't want it to be destroyed," said Yuna determined.
Mr. Hiroshi smiled.
"That is not necessary. I do not want to put you in danger. I will think of something", he looked briefly at the sky, "It is already late. My wife is definitely expecting me.I'll go then. Take care, Yuna. "
"You too, Mr. Hiroshi. And come and see me again soon," she waved to the man who was going.
"I will."
After saying this, Mr. Hiroshi could no longer be seen. Yuna sighed. What should she do? Then anger rose in her. Since Hao has been up to mischief in this world, all shamans have lived with fear and terror. Hao is particularly interested in Chiyo Village because legendary shamans once lived here, including her parents ... She missed her parents. A few tears ran down her cheeks and again she felt the pain in her heart. Yuna cried for a while. But when she had calmed down again, she heard steps out of the forest that came closer and closer. They got louder and faster. Yuna got a little scared.
"It can't be Mr. Hiroshi, but who else is it?" She asked herself quietly.
She walked towards the forest and slowly looked around everywhere. Suddenly she heard a dull noise, directly from her direction.She looked around once more and saw something black within a visible distance. She stepped closer. What she saw in front of her horrified her. For a moment her scream echoed through the whole forest ...
