[Kanji_The_Wanderer]

Once the white light disperses, and the immense agonizing sensation leaves me, my surroundings whirl about. There was a brief feeling of nausea. When my eyes focus properly, I am laying upon a soft bed of grass. The sky is gray. It looks as if there will be a rain shower at any moment.

As I tried to move about, my body was stiff, and it was hard to move. I was unsure of how long I was dead. After some struggle, I was able to sit up. I looked around and couldn't see anyone or anything. Was my body dumped here? Why didn't I come back inside of the prison? I look down to my right, and my arm is there, my eye as well. My clothes were different though. Instead of wearing my usual brown cape, with green tunic, and white shirt and pants, I am wearing a black vest, with a long sleeve loose fitting dark blue shirt. My pants are black and tight to my legs. There are brown boots on my feet, and guards around my wrists. A pouch is behind the back of my belt, and a dagger is fastened to my leg. My cape was not on me. This outfit is surprising. But I am more surprised that Yogensha was able to revive me with all of my limbs intact. It is trully amazing, being able to see out of both my eyes again.... There a gentle wind, it blows my hair lightly. The clouds slowly roll back. With some time, I am able to get to my feet. Suddenly, I remember Inferno, as my gaze shoots down to my left ring finger, Inferno is not present. Neither is Sora. Well, it makes sense, all my weapons were confiscated the moment I was taken a prisoner...... I walk south for a bit, the more I walk, I still don't recognize my environment. I have traveled all over the land. I never forget a place. How can I not now where I am? As I stand bewildered, a familiar voice laughs in my head. "Hmmmm....what is it Tatsu? Don't like where you are? I'm sorry, but it's the best I can do."

I know the voice. It's Yogensha's. "No sir, no need to apologize. Reviving me, was a miracle all in it's own. Although, I would like to know where I am." Yogensha laughs "Why of course. I brought you to the Northeastern tip of Etrirea, past the Dragon's lair. This is the closest I could drop you." I start to think, Drop me? What does this mean? "Sir, why couldn't you return my soul to my body? My body is inside of the Dragon's prison with my friends. They are in need of my help!" Yogensha is silent for a moment. "You are very anxious Tatsu. But do not worry, your friends will be fine. In the state a soul is in when it is reborn in unfit for combat. As you experienced, you were unable to move properly for some time. What could you do in that situation other then be a burden to your comrades? For the sake of your allies, and your for own well being, I dropped your soul back into this world, away from the battle. I put you in a vacant shell." A vacant shell? "What do you mean? Dropped me in a vacant shell? Is this not my body?" Yogensha is quiet again. "I am sorry Tatsu, but I had to. There was no other choice if you had wished to come back to life. The body you inhabit now is indeed not your own. The body you have is of a warrior that just passed not long ago by a dragon soldier. The man was similar in composition to you. Do not worry, with your soul in this body, the features have changed to look exactly like you. Now you are able to make use of both this man's arms. When everyone sees you, they will be shocked, they may think that you are a ghost, but they will recognize you. For the body looks exactly like yours."

At this moment, I don't know what to say. "So this isn't my body? I stole it? ..... How humiliating." Yogensha's voice is gone. I do not hear it anymore. Well, let's see if these legs are mine. If this is my body now, it should work the same exact way as my old one. With quickness I sprint through the grass, to the southwest, I must make haste to the Dragon Lair.
