The mountains were as white as it should be in the fall. Leaves flew like birds as the winds blew them across the fertile land.... "Ahh...the innocence of Abore," thought Wataru as he and his horse walked across the land. "How I will miss it when I leave in search of my destiny."

The door of the outhouse closed shut with a bang and a weird, strange, flashy light encircled the building. "NEH!?!!," cried the Wataru's horse as it ran wildy, farther up mountain. ...
