Summer was peak travel season for most bladers, due to the lack of real-life responsibilities for those still in school and whatnot. Plus, so many tourneys to indulge in! If there was any time to be a beyblader, it was definitely the summer season.

You? Well, what's the harm in exploring? Japan has so many sights and wonders to see and so many unique beys and bladers to find. this kind of travel was normalized! Nothing to worry when you have your trusty Beyblade! ...and pepper spray in case of emergencies.

..Actually..there was one thing to worry about. a sense of direction. Since Japan wasn't fully hooked up with powerlines and satellite dishes, its not like you could always rely on a Phone or a GPS with you..you had to rely on mankind's mortal enemy.. physical maps.

God, were they annoying to use. Its so hard to remember which is north or south..or what is left or right..and since there was no pins..good luck! Hopefully this would be worth it in the end..at least that's what you told yourself

You were travelling by and through one of the many mountain ranges of japan, hoping to hit some local spots to potentially beyblade..but as predicted, you were through the thicket with no estimation and a prayer that you would end up alive.

as expected, you were lost..so lost.

It didn't help as at the same time..you felt unnerved..like you had a pair of eyes watching you the same time..

Hyoma, The sworn Guardian to Koma Village, at least Hokuto gave him that title.

Koma Village. The small village located in the Bey Forest. This was his home, his sacred ground, and where Storm Pegasus was born, Where L-Drago was resting. The "Bey Village". Needless to say..it was a sacred ground, and after L-Drago was stolen..reclusion from other parts of civilization was encouraged. God forbid anyone unknown enter here, nothing should tarnish this sacred ground.

Every 4 hours, he would make his rounds around the outskirts of Koma Village and Mount Hagane Territory to either kindly escort out lost people or scare away stragglers. This was VERY Very rare, but when it happened by chance, he would have a bit of fun with it.

This..was no exception, you accidentally crept onto Koma Village Territory..and somehow he missed you the first time. On one hand he should be annoyed, frustrated..but honestly? he was a tad amused, making it this far in- intentional or not.

"Strange..all the way out here.."

he muttered, taking to the treetops to observe you- To contemplate his next course of action. One thing was certain, you were..peculiar to put it kindly.
