In the remote Northern Town of Wakkanai, Hokkaido the people begin to see in the snow strange paw prints too large to belong to the brown bear. It even leaves all the animal conservationists baffled. They set up cameras in the area to try and capture some footage of the elusive animal. Everyday they check to discover nothing has been recorded. Then one morning when they are watching the provers nights video, they see the paw prints just seem to appear from out of nowhere. They bounce across the snow covered fields to disappear into a nearby forest.

The animal conservationists have to watch the footage again; to make sure they were not dreaming and begin to think could they have capture the first time a Forest God on camera?488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMapf1hvHQ4

They immediately send their findings to the Japanese Order. The moment the Leader Xià yu witnesses the footage he quickly contacts two family members who just so happen to be at the Sapporo Snow Festival.488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKPs6znso9

Narsus is in the sitting room, having his morning mug of blood, when he hears his mobile starts to hoot. Taking a quick glance at his watch, that lies on the inside of his left wrist. “Who could be wanting a video chat this time in the morning?” he grumbles, going on answer it with a slight nod, “Why good morning Xià yu.”
The Snow Dragon waves and calls, “Good morning my dear boy. I have a little mystery for you and Gabe to solve.”488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2amPSySON

“Mystery?” comes a slightly feminine voice full of intrigue off camera.488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QofsAKUNu

Xià yu emits a soft laugh and goes on to inform them, “Morning Gabe. And yes, the people of Wakkanai have an unusual visiter.”488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwsT5inYpn

This brings the stunning Annihilation Deity leaning in, and questions, “Why? What is so unusual about it?”488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAX75odEKK

The Leader of the Japan Order, reads from the message on his mobile and answers, “Well the fact that they cannot see it. However they are seeing the paw prints it leaves behind.”
The famous actor strokes his mask chin and expresses, “Interesting, so it is a spirit?”
"It is looking that way Narsus, and to be precise a Bear Spirit. The question is why there? As it has never been there before, for I have checked the archives," announces Xià yu, pointing his hand towards the screen.
Gabriel rubs his hands together with excitement and ask with a voice to match, “Uncle, care to solve it with me?”488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfc7XogwzZ
Narsus gives a sharp nod and replies, “Glad to as I too am curious to discover why it is there.”488Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRYjU5WeUb

“Nice one boys. I will inform the animal conservationist a Mrs Takahashi Misaki to expect you both shortly.”
"Hai, we will just grab some breakfast and portal to the place," tells Narsus, going to stuff a pipe with fresh tobacco.
The Snow Dragon gives them a nod as he says, "Of course. In that case I will leave you to it."
They all wave to each other and the famous actor ends the video call.
Gabriel gives him a pat on the arm and enquiries, "What would you like?"
"Whatever you are making, dear boy will be fine. I'm just going to exchange my mask," answers the famous actor as he starts to yawn.
The Annihilation Deity gives him a nod and goes trotting out of the room.
Narsus rises, he has a stretch and heads back to his room, to replace the mask with one that has the mouth section removed. He goes on to place the unlit pipe in the right corner of his mouth and makes his way to the kitchen.
Gabriel does a nice Congee for them both, topped with honey and banana. Once they have eaten and had enough morning tea to clear away the cobwebs, they head down to the hallway, to put on thick winter coats and boots before they portal to Wakkanai.
