[Kanji_The_Wanderer]

Shackled to the wall Onijin continues to show me my past. With each event that he shows in the clouds he goes further and further into my past, going back to my childhood. I try my best to ignore everything, and just think of a solution to this....

Somehow he slipped, and gave it away how he can control me. Just before he put me on this wall I told him what he had to know. I told him what he wanted? But what could it be? Then it struck me. By saying his name to him, that feeds him power. A demon has no control over you, unless you acknowledge it's presence. Once you acknowledge it, then it has control over you. Every time I said his name, it gave him a burst of strength and he was able to over-power me. So if I paid him no mind, and pretended he didn't even exist, his grasp on my soul with weaken, then eventually, I can turn the tables, and release myself from his room. Only, I hope such a method is possible. It may just be too convenient that I found this out so quickly. Well, it is his error for telling me exactly what I needed to know.

So Onijin, who was ignorant to my plan, went on watching my past and making comments every now and then. I didn't care, I thought of better things. To take my mind off him, I went back and thought of my first meeting with Ichirin and Nozomi that one morning in Disan. How long has it been since that day? We traveled by foot for awhile, so it must have been at least a month ago. Perhaps longer. We've all been seperated for some time now. The moment I see Ichirin ago, he dies. How could he just die like that? Who or what was the black figure with the flaming sword that slayed him? Did he already kill Ichirin? What about Nozomi? Was she executed? Did she escape that cell? Oh how I wish I could free myself of this and return to the Physical World. But here, in the Realm of Souls, I could do nothing. Even if I was to escape this room, it will not bring me to life. It will just end my torture.

In the Physical World there is only one way to revive the dead. One must search for the White Elven Scrolls of Life. I don't think the scrolls are in Etrirea. I searched all over this land many times. I had wanted to use the scrolls to revive Shima. But I heard a rumor that the scrolls were shipped out of Etrirea long ago. If there were it makes sense, I looked in every ancient Elven temple on this land. If they are on Etrirea, then they are in the remaining Elves's possession somewhere. My mind snapped back to reality when Onijin was repeatedly calling out my name. But I showed no emotion, even I even smiled at him for his stupidity, he would strengthen, for smiling is acknowleding his presence, and he would have the advantage. All I did was close my eyes. He then started complaining that he was bored and that I was no fun.

Let him say, think, and do what he wanted. Soon he'll lose his edge, and all his powers will fade away........ Nozomi, Ichirin, Swiftant, and that girl Myzura. You all must survive this. Defeat Shakura and live happily, Nozomi, don't be sad when you find out that I'm gone. It'll only make things worse for you. When you bury me, I want you to keep Sora as a memorabilia.

My mind continued to wander. If I leave this room, will I be able to temporarily connect to the Physical World and tell them all my thoughts on this? Can I somehow give them all a morale boost from this other world? I hope my demon vanishes soon....
