Sapo instead of dying seems to have been transported into a different universe, with a terrible problem endangering the world.

## Prelude

After Sapo was swallowed by the tree of light, he suddenly felt himself laying on grass inside a forest, marking night time.

## Tell-A-Story

Sapo opened his eyes, instead of being in his reverence position he was standing, besides being blinded by his bandages he noticed the noise was that of a forest, helped by the noise he moved around with ease, while moving around he realized his clothes were much different, instead of his tuxedo like part below his Justitia jacket was something similar to a shirt divided in two, his Justitia jacket seemed a bit lighter while also being different and he couldn't feel his wings, lastly his sword changed, it wasn't the same rectangular shape it used to be and wasn't in his back, but instead it was attached to his waist, he knew what it was, a katana, as a Fixer he was sometimes tasked to bountyhunt people who used a katana to fight.

His self-acknowledgment came to a halt when he felt a terrible presence, followed by screams, he quickly moved, much faster than he ever was able to in the direction of those screams.

"だれか助けて下さい!" One voice screamed, followed by a laughter.

Sapo was confused, he had never heard such language before, then he felt softly like if his ears were twitching.

"Someone! Anybody! Help!" The same voice screamed, Sapo decided to ignore this small miracle and kept running.

Sapo entered a small open space where there were two entities, but one had an ominous presence, taking his sword and launching an attack.

He sliced something that was a part of the ominous presence, followed by an annoyed sound and a shriek.

"Ugh, again one of you stupid samurais trying to stop me from my meal, I guess I will eat twice then!" Said the ominous presence's voice snickering.

In mere seconds he felt a strong blow coming towards him, so Sapo used the katana to shield himself, the blow struck Sapo back but didn't move him from his position, it was like fighting a smaller version of Nothing There, Sapo answered with running forth to his enemy, aiming for his torso, using a small bit of knowledge from fighting enemies with katanas he made a similar move by pressing his hands on the holster and striking down to the ominous presence, he failed as the presence dodged soonly to be met by a bone-crushing punch to his ribs, making him almost lose air and get sent flying until he hit a tree, there was little to no time as the ominous presence launched itself with a kick aiming for his head, Sapo duck down and reacted by slicing its arm and jumping back, the presence made an annoyed sound but kept pressing, Sapo noticed the part he had sliced was still there while fighting, confusing him and getting him worried, the fight continued for long, as Sapo couldn't defeat his enemy and his enemy not being able to kill Sapo, but in one moment inside the fight another presence joined in, a much more strange one but non-evil.

"No matter how many you send, this only means more food for m-!" there was a clean slice sound and the enemy's presence started slowly fading away.

There was a gentle exhale, the sound of a katana moving quickly and entering a wooden surface.

The other non-hostile presence had since long faded too, probably ran away while Sapo was fighting its abuser.

"I am surprised a very young-looking and not experienced swordsman took the risk to fight a demon." Said the calming presence, a girl's voice, it felt like a flowing wind pronounced by a tree.

"A... a demon?" Sapo was confused.

"A strong humanoid creature, they eat humans to survive and get stronger." She answered.

"I don't know where I am..." Sapo said with honesty.

"You are between the Castle cities of Hamada and Hagi."

"Who are you?" Sapo a bit flabbergasted for the entire situation decided he should start with that question.

"Name is Sakura, Sakura Yuki." Sakura revealed her name. "I would like to hear more about you, but I have patrols to fulfill, let's meet around the Tottori mountain again, you don't have to search for me, I will surely know when you are there."

And off she was.

Sapo was left with many more questions than answers, what does she mean "Castle cities."? they were gone for almost a milennia now, where is the Tottori mountain? how did she manage to kill a seemingly immortal enemy? but he decided that maybe, just maybe, he could ask townsfolk about many of his confusions, for now though, he had to find something to eat.
