Here begins the
story of Midori: Japan's Flower.
Chapter Zero.
Once upon a time
in the land of Japan, lived a family by the name of Kaiho. The
Father, Azuma and the Mother, Sugihara had a little boy called
Midori. Midori was an interesting child as he was born with a tree
growing out of his neck. Midori's grandfather, Taro said that this
was for good luck – but this was not the case. At the age of four,
Midori started to exhibit strange personality traits. Much like a
puppy, Midori started to experiment with his toys. Much to Azuma and
Sugihara's dismay, this persisted for over a year. At five years old,
Midori didn't leave for school like the other children – but began
his journey as a tree in the garden. Midori was very, very angry at
this. He wondered why he should waste his days alone in the
wilderness, with nothing other than the other trees to converse with,
though they were not much good at this as there were no other tree
children in Japan. Every evening, Midori would return from the
forests of Japan and delve straight into the depths of despair. He
wondered why he was different to every other child. Why couldn't he
go to school, he would ask his parents to which he received nothing
but a silent response. Around the age of six, Midori's mother,
Sugihara died in childbirth. Though this was such an unfortunate
event, Azuma was still blessed with a new child, a beautiful baby
girl called Tami. As Tami grew up, Midori was unable to fulfil a
successful role as a brother, due to his time outside and so decided
to embark upon an epic adventure...
Having read all
about the Barbarians in the tribe on the south east coast of Japan
in, Hiroshima. About how Witch Doctors were able to cure people of
their deformities. Midori decided then one afternoon to leave Tami
and Azuma behind and set out for the forests of Hiroshima.
