Long long ago there was a place called NOTOGI, where people are pure at hearts with sharing nature, where there was no discrimination, where everyone was always happy and satisfied, and lived life with joy & simplicity. Here people never fight among themselves, as different troops of people have taken different talents and they teach the same to their next generation and so on.

Some were the happy Farmers : loving there fields and crops.

Some were the fighter Blacksmiths : working under the flame of hardship.

Some were the creative Craftsmen : making wood into a masterpiece.

Some were the talented Medicinal: curing people with diseases with nature's help

Some were the wild Hunters : only hunting when there is this new year festival.

Some were the skilled Fishermen : catching fish from the lake, and

Some were the Helpers : helping their specific branches with the small tasks which will further be taught by the members of that society.

They all know about the power that is helping them to survive, that's the Nature and there village founder, the magician & the first man to find this heavenly place and brought people to make it a happy village, Mr. Magus, whose name only tells what a big magician he was, full of tricks and truths to make people smile, that's why he was called the Majestic Magus. He lived under a tree, the first tree of NOTOGI, which is in the center of the village and the sign of life and creation. The nature helped everyone for everything, it gave them food, water, a living for which all the villagers as well as the magician who were thankful to mother nature. From the beginning only, NOTOGI villagers went to the tree to thank the mother nature for giving them this beautiful life and for always taking care of them. The magician also was trying to help everyone in whatever way he could. He is long dead now but he is still remembered now for all his good deeds.

The village as surrounded by a lake at a side and a river on other side, and on that river there is this Cursed Bridge. A bridge which is always covered with fog where no one have ever tried to cross it and no one have ever seen the other end. Everyone in the village has been told from their ancestors about the curse on the bridge, that if anyone tries to cross the bridge they will burn to ashes, so nobody ever tried to go near the bridge and they accepted it. This tale of the Cursed Bridge has been passed down from generations to generations.

Unaware of this old tale, lived a little girl, named Mua Gong. She is a very notorious girl who makeup stories on her own about anything and tell those stories to everyone in the village. Her best made up story was about the old bridge which she is always curious about, thus she loves to make up random stories about it. One day there was a village meeting were everyone were present with their children and family and the leader of the troops were discussing several matters, Mua heard something about the bridge and she started again cooking her own story about the bridge and telling them to the other children of the village. Mua didn't had any deep knowledge about this bridge, but she loved to make stories about this mysterious bridge and its other side and this was her favorite story among her own stories.

When Mua was bluffing about the bridge and its other side story to the village children, one of them stood and said that she is wrong & what she is saying is purely a lie. Then the child said that his mother told him that there is a Yokai(ghost) living there who eats small children. Another girl said that her mother told that there is some man eating Lion is there, and another girl said like her mother told her that there is a witch living there who turns people into frogs. Suddenly this conversation converted to a commotion were all the children were shouting and no one was listening to anyone anymore, except for a little girl who was continuously listening to Mua with glittering eyes, that's Cherry Yin, who is waiting for Mua to continue with her story. Looking at Cherry's curious and excited eyes, Mua was the happiest person as someone was actually interested in her tale, and someone is there who believes in her. Mua was flying in 7th sky and Cheery was curious to know about rest of the story. Cherry is a very shy type of girl who speak very less to people, she is never confident of what she is doing is right or not and thus hide her feelings. She is always scared about the results and want to make up to her parents expectations, but she got inspiration from Mua. This was a beginning of a beautiful new relationship that everyone should have in their life, a golden relation which doesn't have to be related by blood but by heart, I.e. Friendship.
