Sakumi was an average sixteen year old girl who had big dreams that were bigger than the sky itself. She wished to change everything in her life that is wrong. The only problem is, she was too naive and inexperienced to know how. She lived in the town of Maliko, in Redmount, near Mount Marsh which loomed over the town, and every month she would travel to the forest near the mountain where she would remain for a week to train with her master, Hadashi. Hadashi is a fierce female warrior who had won many dangerous battles, and she loved embarking on adventures to find mysterious things hidden throughout the Dragon Lands which were situated beyond the Great Fog that surrounded her quaint town.

The rat sniffed at the smell from the cheese that wafted through the room, but then the rat noticed the trap and was plotting a plan to retrieve the cheese from the dangerous, razor sharp, maybe-gona-kill-it bear trap. The rat glanced at the open cabinet door and launched itself at the handle. Its tail hung on tightly to the handle while swinging around in mid-air, grabbing the cheese just in time before the rat landed with a thump on the white kitchen counter. Mr Bean gasped, astonished that the rat was so smart – probably as smart as Einstein in the rat world (that rat is definitely 100% smarter than MB – that is a fact, not an opinion). Mr Bean made a face like he had tried that infinity times already. So then he rammed his body against the rat while it was nibbling a piece of cheese, but he missed with the rat scrambling away towards the fridge. MB took a step back, since the rat charged across the room, forcing him to step onto the bear trap. MB yowled a long and painful cry. The crow which sat outside on the chimney, was stunning from the shock, and after it recovered, it flew away in a flash of black, fading into the midnight sky. Hopping through the backgarden, MB stumbled and fell face first into the garden shed door. Suddenly Mrs Wicket forcefully kicked open the heavy, old, rusty, shed door and slammed Mr Bean’s already pain filled leg into the garden shed’s unmoveable wall.
