Ryu ran his finger over the mark in the tree, taking a few seconds to register it's significance. As soon as he did Ryu scrambled up from his seat. Breath quickening as if hunters were just around the corner. Ryu's first instinct was to start running in a random direction. But Ryu maintained a grip on himself, trying to slow his racing heart and think with a clear head. The first step would find the village. Ryu looked back at the tree with the mark before taking glance around the forest. Ryu went further into the trees, listening for any abnormal sights or sounds.
