Intro

******Hi I'm Lisec Zhang.

My father (Chanming Zhang) died in a tragic car accident when I was 2.

My mom (Suki Zhang) knew she had no choice but standing up by herself , so she worked very hard. Yes, I was able to have a very good life being the only child. My mom found a job which paid very high.

I lived in the city of Yenhai. But every spring vacation, my mom would take me to grandmom's mansion in the countryside of Suchai.

The countryside was a dreamland for me, it was spacious and free. Until one morning...

I was 5 when I visited my grandmom that year. I was welcomed with lots of gifts! The best gift was given to me by my aunt , Zucy. She have me a bird and said I could keep it as a pet. I named it Riu.

Like every time, I would roam around the village early in the morning but this time I had a companion, Riu of course!

It was an early morning, no one was awake as usual, I took some snacks and Riu with me. And went to roam.

As I was roaming through the streets, it came to an end.

But there was gate with a script written... "櫻桃木森林" *meaning: Cherrywood forest.

After the gate was a huge forest.

I thought it was a normal place so I went in.

I roamed around for awhile when I realised that I was lost!

I was scared to death, when I saw a man sitting under the shades of the sakura tree.i couldn't see his face since he was looking at the other direction.

"Ni hao! Could you please tell me how to get out of this forest?" I asked.

He didn't answer...

But when I was about to turn...

"What're you doing here?" he asked.

" I was roaming around when I found this forest, I thought it was a normal place..." I answered

" Hmm...I see... what's your name kid?" he asked.

" Lisec! Lisec Zhang." I answered.

" Okey I will lead you the way out today but make sure you don't return tomorrow!" he said.

" I promise I won't!" I said

" Go straight and you'll find your way back." he said.

As I was about to leave, I saw that the man was balancing a sword**!!

"What are you exactly!?" I asked trembling...

"If you want to be trapped here in the forest then stay longer." he replied aggressively.

I was scared so I didn't reply and went straight...

Just then I saw another man, but he was sitting on the branch of the sakura tree.

"Hello kid! you must be a human? what are you doing here?" he asked politely.

He was kinda friendly....

" Hi I'm Lisec. I was roaming around. I'm lost here, can u tell me how to go back home?" I asked.

" hm... I'll help you... but what will I get in return?" he asked

Just then I realised that I bought snacks with me.

"I have some snacks , I'll give them all to you!" I said

"Okay then you give me the snacks and I'll tell you the way." he said.

I gave him all my snacks and he showed me the way. I reached the streets.

"Go and never come back" he said.

I nodded and went home...

And that was my memory of that spring morning**.
