Tetu slowly reach for a peddle on the ground but before he could do anything with it, the shadowy figure spoke. The figure had a female voice. 

"all right fella, don't do anything stupid or I'll shoot," she said as to reveal that she had a crossbow. Three more hooded females appeared from the bushes armed with crossbows.

Tetu dropped the rock and raise his hands into the air. 
"all right, I surrender," He said. "so what do you want?"

"You're trespassing in my forest," she said as she jumps off the tree.
"If you want to pass safely, then you will have to pay a toll. 50 gold pieces should be good".

"Your forest? I didn't know this forest belonged to anyone"Tetu replied and turned around slowly to face his attacker."Who are you anyway?"

"Well, it does. And if you don't pay your due. I can't let you pass" The girl said as she took aim at Tetu. "I'm Hana and this is my gang the red hood".

Hana slowly approached Tetu bag as her subordinates keep their crossbows on Tetu. Hana begins to look through the bag and started laughing.
"What is this? Is a joke? All you have are junks"Hana said before dumping everything out.

hana let out a sigh as she drops the bag. "Well this was pointless and a waste of effort."

"Well I just started my adventure and I came from a small farm" Tetu explained trying to save face.

Hana signal her gang to stand down. Her gang nodded and lower their crossbow.

Tetu was puzzled as he lowers his hands.
"So does that mean you won't be stealing from me?" he asked before bending down to gather his things.

Hana laughed and shook her head. " I am not that evil as to steal from new adventurers," she said as she let out a soft laugh.

From under Hana hooded face, Tetu could make out a small cute smile. 

"I will let you off the hook this time kid. Make sure you have something valuable to take next time if we ever meet again" Hana said before tossing some smoke bombs on the ground.

The smoke bomb let out a thick white smoke as Hana and her band of thieves ran off. 

Tetu begins to cough and choke on the smoke. When the smokes finally clear, Hana and her gang was gone.

"Next time we meet, I will be a lot stronger," Tetu said softly to himself and begin to pick up his things.
