Notes and Crap (entry twenty-six)

by Eligius Yami

[Set after talking to Empress Novia and meeting his Aunt Ezran, turning his katana over for refurbishing]

At this point, I'm not sure why I still write these. Maybe to just write out my thoughts perhaps, I shall never know. Novia, since you read these, know that I see your perspective as to why I should stay, and agree with it to a point. Kitsune, Oni, the people in our lands have been in a constant feud for as long as I can remember, and even more thereafter. What I said to that rioting crowd was said from the bottom of my heart, I just didn't know the exact words of "why did I choose to become champion" until now. I wanted a brighter future for our people, even if I am not there to see it, to plant a seed that would become a great tree for our people to rest our heads under. Taking up this mantle, only then can we be free from the shackles of our past. While I do not like the act of killing in order for this goal to be achieved, I remember the lessons of eld, where without the actions done by good, evil and unrest shall fester and take hold. That is what I aim for, even if I don't like the means, I will do what I signed up for. Even I as aloof and idiotic as others may claim, even I see that there's been too much hatred in this world of ours. I've always wanted to do something about it, and for the longest time I was just not sure how to go about it. And if I don't find the solution to this problem fully, I shall do what it takes to march down the right path, and show everyone else the way, and entrust them to find it. With that said, don't expect me to quit now Novia, I will see to it complete, for our people.

[Written later]

After the rioting, your sister Umbra told many of the townspeople to start some sort of militia and grassroots effort to aid in the graveyard effort, instead of just buying adventurer services (finally!). She also showed me to a local smithy to touch up my katana, only to find out it's an Auntie my mum mentioned a few times in passing, Ezran. I will be frank, she didn't seem to like you at all Empress, and I dare not write down her insults to you. She however, said you were right, that "Bridging the gap" scheme of yours worked, as much as it pained her to say. She's currently refurbishing my blade as I write this, I didn't even know sword spirits were a thing, and even then it was a bit more sentient than I once thought. Needless to say, it's pissed, and I have to offer sacrifice to it on the morrow, the use of shrines and everything! Either way... I got to become more.... faithful, in-tune with the spirits, and I will have to clean up my act to live up to my title as mentioned earlier. If I do want to lead people down a path towards peace, I'll have to become the best me possible. Until then Novia, since you read this, thanks for the talk. I really appreciated it.

Note to self.... make "Tail Chasers" into a sushi sit down place...
Note to self again.... get some new sandals.
[Many note to selves later.... none of which involve armor]
