It's the year 794 in Japan. Rin is the eldest of three brothers and is the prince of the Takeda family. Unfortunately, he had run away and now lives in the countryside of Kyoto, Japan, in a small hut near a beautiful river lined by trees.

As he sat outside on a small wooden stool near the river, with a small fishing net in his hands and a lit cigarette dangling from his lip; his dark bangs fell over his grey eyes as his long dark locks flew in the wind. He hadn't noticed that something was in the treeline watching him.
