Normally I am the sweet person that everyone thinks I am, who is only interested in heping others and teaching people about the Oak Father. But sometimes my darker side surfaces as in this case. Most people don't like being kidnapped. I am one of them. I was in a bad mood and the desire for revenge was quite strong. As an indication of this when I spoke the command word at Buka it would in hindsight have been beter to go with "Surrender" in hopes his guards might follow his example. Instead I shouted "Die" at him. While not as effective it certainly was more satisfying.I had only once before killed in cold blood. The poor bloodspeaker who we found chasing after the Kuni Witchhunter. I had charmed him and gotten all the info we needed as well as some extra info on who and what the bloodspeaker are. It was important that my extra intrest was not revealed so I had to kill him before he mentioned this to anyone else. Tonight's killing was just as cold.After capturing Buka the the others were more than willing to leave him alone with me and search the house. He grovelled for awhile but this soon turned irritating. I posed one question to him and if he didn't answer properly I knew his fate was sealed. "You have one chance, tell me why I should let you live?""I can give you lots of money" he replied."Sorry, we already have everything that is yours.""It's not all here, but I can get it for you if you let me live.""You had your chance, this is not about money."I then took my knife to him and ended his pathetic life. I was being honest, it was not about money, I didn't care at all about that. It was about revenge and insuring that this never happened again. The guard I charmed we let live, while all the others were put to death. His life was spared only so that he could spread the word that I was not someone to be messed with and that next time no one would be spared. Buka had his chance, there was a right answer. The only answer that would have worked was that he loved me and would do anything for me. Without being certain of his motivations and loyalty I could not trust him not to do this again. Tommorow we would head back to Ryoko Owari so Verick could have his chalenge and Toshiro can fulfill whatever mission he is on. I am looking forward to it so that I can go hunting some more thugs. I am still irritated. Before that though we would spend the night at Buka's house. When I relayed to the others that Buka had said all of his money was not here they were disapointed that I had not learned its location before killing him. Volar was particularly distressed as he is always needing money for his scrolls. I decided to help him out, and prayed for a spell that evening that I knew about and felt confident that I was strong enough to use. Later that night I took a stroll and went to the room  where Buka's body lay and cast my spell. "Besides here, where is the majority of your wealth located at?"The dead corpse moved, a voice cracking out from its lips, "At the bank in Ryoko Owari" I could sense there was still enough energy left to answer one more question, so I decided to help Toshiro out. "If you know where Kurocha is tell me?""I do not know." it replied and fell back lifeless. Knowing how the Rokuganis feel about messing with the dead I decided not to mention what I had done to any of the sammurai. I did reveal what I had done to Mindra and Volar though. Mindra said that he could have done that as well, and maybe even gotten another question in. Volar took note of the news about Buka fortune but gave no hint to what he would do about it. Tommorow will likely be busy so it was then time to get in as much sleep as possible.Till next time, when hopefully I will be back to my brighter self.Mir</blockquote>
