[Kanji_The_Wanderer]

After some time of not doing what he says, Onijin is trully pissed now. He keeps on yelling at me and telling me to answer him. "I am your master you worthless piece of trash! Obey me now!" His words mean nothing to me. I will never respond to such a fool. Doesn't he understand? He should be smart enough to know what I am doing. Instead of yelling at me he should be trying to make me speak to him. I just keep on pretending that I'm sleeping, even though there is no need to sleep in this place.

Just a little bit longer. I tell myself. He is already starting to break under the stress. If he doesn't strike fear into me, then he'll lose his abilites as a demon and disappear. Not a moment to soon I open my eyes as Onijin starts to shout out in pain. I don't look at him, I don't want to take the chance that he'll get stronger. His smoke body begins to evaporate. "Nooo! I am the master! I am the guardian! This is my domain! Ahhahhhh! Curse you Tatsu! Burn here forever!" Onijin's body starts to heat up and bubble. Within seconds, he vanishes into a cloud and is gone. The darkness of the room goes away as well. All that is left is this four-walled room, I can see it clearly now.

Now the walls start to disappear as well. In minutes it all is gone. I fall to the earth. I am in a grassfield. But the grass is dead and brown.

So I managed to escape my torture. Onijin and his room are completely gone. I can finally be relieved. No, I can't rest, there will never be rest in Hell. For all I know, I might walk into the hands of another demon and go right back into one of those cells. I look up, there is a sky in this world. But it is blood red, and the clouds are black. There is even a wind, but it is ice cold, and it blows a chill right through me.. I stand up from the ground. Is there even anyone else here like me? I wonder. I begin to move around and not far from me is a willow tree. An old man in robes is sitting at the base of the trunk. Half his face and arm is covered in bandages. This tree or this man was not here a moment ago. When I escaped Onijin there was nothing out there. But strangely it is here now.....

(The old man that is before me is the same old man that Ichirin saw when he got his new powers. He is a guide, we all just see him a different way).

"Tatsu." Speaks the man in a raspy voice. "I didn't expect to see you here so soon. This is quite troublesome that you have already moved on." The man sighs and straches his head in disappointment. "How do you know me? I don't believe we have ever met." I move towards the man to try and see if he is a demon. But his eyes aren't like their's if he is one, then he is a good fake. In fact, his eyes were dead and light blue. He must have been blind when he died. The old man notices my gaze and smiles. "I can see you, you know. I may have been blind in my life, but in this world you get back everything that you lost. Like your eye and hand. You got those both back didn't you?" The old man laughs. "Surprised by me young one? Well don't be, I am here to help you. I am one of those tough spirits. I don't lose my powers when I die. In fact, I am immune to the demons, and I have become stronger then ever." The old man reaches out, and grabs his cane, he then lifts himself off of the ground. "I am Yogensha. I have the ability to travel through dimensions and give faith to the powerful...I have been watching over your group for some time now, and I must say, the lot of you impress me. Not many people in this day of ours are eager enough to protect the world....The dragons have lost sight of themselves. We used to live together in harmony, and help this land together. But time has made them arrogant, and they turned on us. I don't think they deserve to be eradicated. They just need to be taught a lesson so they remember what this world used to be like."

I don't say anything. I am not sure what to say. "It is good to see you taking this all in Tatsu." Yogensha smiles at me again. "Since your untimely demise, I am not able to fully help you. I was able to help your friend Ichirin. I gave him remarkable powers." So that is why Ichirin looked so different. He was even looking at me before that black figure pierced that sword through him. He was looking at me. His eyes were shining in the darkness, vision was healed by this man. "I am dead. I know that. There is no way to return, in this world I have no magic. How can you possibly help me?" I begin to grow sad again. I felt so hopeless.

"I said I was not able to fully help you. I am only allowed to give one gift to a person. My powers will not work on the same person twice. You are dead, but I can change that. If you were still alive, I could have made you more powerful then ever. I could have given you even greater magic. I could have made you an Archimagus!" Hearing this news from him pisses me off. But it can't be helped. Saving Ichirin was just in my nature. I couldn't let him die like that. There was just no way. I drop to one knee and place my hand on the ground. "Yogensha, I am honored to be aided by such a powerful being such as yourself. How did you attain such power?" Yogensha's face becomes sullen. "It is a sad story. My ability has just complicated my life. It killed me. Now I use it to aid young ones in different dimensions. If helping others save there world is how I will spend eternity, then it makes me happy....Now go Tatsu. Leave this world and return to the living. Your friends need you."

Yogensha puts out both his hands and smiles at me one more time. "You have great fire within" With that said, a great white light surrounds me. The red sky starts to fade, and the frozen earth starts to slip away.....I am returning, I feel immense pain as my soul rips through the dimensionial planes, I am going back to my body...Nozomi, wait for me.....
