Tsubaki – Foreword

Tsubaki

 

 

 

The incident took place 17 years ago. A plane crashed into a deep forest of the inhabited island of Ooshima and killed all the passengers it loads. Within the thick gray clouds of smoke with the strong scent from hundreds of humans flesh burnt, there’s a cute little baby crawling away from the burning wreckage. The falling walls & roof of the dead plane scratches her fragile skin leaving the red lines and purple blue patches all over her bare skin surface. She must have been too frightened to wail, or the sobs might have stopped a while ago. Or she’s too young to interpret the fatal accident that just stole away her mother’s life – the woman is lying lifelessly beside the little herself now. She is tiny in the size but her will to live on is large. In spite of the excessive carbon monoxide she exhaled poisoning & weakening all her systems, she tried and tried but eventually fell, give in to her weariness.

 

Few days passed. There are still a few tiny smokes seen from the place. But the starving carnivore inhabitants out for the awaiting meals served by hundreds of dead bodies. Like an enormous feast held once in hundred years, the predators enjoyed their appetite satisfactions. In moments later they were disturbed by the unfamiliar sound. The cute little baby is playing with her mother’s bracelet. Tiny pendant on it rings a sound entertained her to a giggle, for she not know the danger is just within a meter radius. She is surounded by those predators that immersed in their meals, blinded to sense the fresh & alive flesh presence. The biggest & the oldest predator being the head of the region moves his paws approaching the baby. He roars to the every angle of the forest, as if he announcing a big news and no others dare to block his way, neither nor to appear as his opponent. The baby stop her giggles only to look intensely at him. No fears reflected in her eyeballs as if she is greeting a father to adopt her into the new family.
