You're the best adventure I've had yet.

Thunder rumbled across the sky as Naoya lifted his head and sighed. The map on his phone looked nothing like the forested pathways he found himself on. Maybe his parents were right and he was too ambitious to travel and explore on his own. He should have at least brought a friend that could keep him out of trouble or even help him to read Chinese. With the first splatters of raindrops, Naoya hurried down the path he was already following, yet even while lost, it was hard not to marvel at the beauty of the place. His brown eyes drifted to the canopy overhead. Bright green foliage popped out in front of a dark and gloomy sky. It stirred something in his soul. And it distracted him long enough to misstep from the pathway and topple over a small stone lantern someone had erected under the ferns.
His hands had stopped him from eating dirt, but his phone wasn't so lucky and it landed in a grove of bushes a few feet away. At his own feet was the carved roof-like top split neatly into two pieces. His heart sank. Someone had probably put the lantern there in memory of a loved one. What if the spirit of that loved one haunted him? He shuddered before scrambling towards the bushes to find his phone.
The rain was falling heavier by the second and as Naoya's fingertips skimmed across the earth he came across what felt like.... a shoe. He wrapped his hand around it but it wouldn't budge. Actually, it felt like there was a foot still in the shoe... Confused, he looked up again and found a tall man with long hair towering over him. His reaction was delayed, as if it had taken some time for the sight to sink in, but when it did he fell back on his ass onto the muddy ground and clutched at his racing heart.
"Oh shit... You scared me!"
He blurted out, baffled as to where the man had even come from. He'd been alone on these paths for the last three hours. It was when he moved to stand up that he really took notice. The stranger wore traditional clothing but it looked.... ancient. Well kept but very old. His long hair was definitely styled like that of ages old dynasties too. Was he an actor? Maybe there was a film crew nearby shooting scenes from a historical drama? Whatever it was, Naoya gave the man a polite nod of his head.
"I'm just looking for my phone... Have you seen it?"
