I headed off for the light and thought that at least the Oak Father is close and that I would soon be joining him and my own kind. Time must run somewhat differently at death it seams since my companions told me it was a day until they first tried to bring me back while it seamed much shorter to me, or maybe it just didn't matter. As I was making peace with my situation however is when Mindra first pulled me back. I had talked with him and Volar previously and we had all agreed unlike the Rokuganis we had no problems with being brought back to life. What was now happening however was not what I had expected. Instead of being brought back I was now trapped between life and death. I could see what was going on around my body but everything was somewhat hazy and incomprehensible. I could tell I was not dead but I was certain I wasn't alive either. Every so often I would revert back to death I think but was immediately pulled back into the limbo I seemed trapped in. After what seemed like ages however after falling back into one of those deaths I felt a stronger pull back to life. I felt Mindra's lifeforce pulling on mine. This time I was certain it was to bring me back to real life, not the limbo I had been trapped in for so long. It was now time to make a choice. Where do I belong, I had originally asked for this but now that I was so close to my god I was having second thoughts. Time was short I must decide. That is when the Oak Father gifted me with yet another vision. I was needed in the Shinomen forest to find a lost temple. With this new vision my choice was made for me, the Oak Father wanted me alive for this purpose whatever it may be. I relented to Mindra's pull and awaked back in Bugaisha. Mindra explained what had happened and what he and Volar and Yukiyo had done. I agreed that the cover story was a good idea and have used it since. No point in freaking out the locals, I will just add this to things to keep quite about like some of the spells I can cast but choose not to in order to keep the bloodspeaker label off me. Cracked Nut was concerned for me but seamed willing to believe the story now that I confirmed it and was healthy again. As for Yukiyo I felt indebted to her for saving my body making my return possible. I have forgiven her for all old grievances and will give her a few gifts in the future as payment. I paid Mindra back as well for the spell components he used and commissioned a Raise Dead scroll for future use so that such cover stories would no longer be needed. Our little band of death raisers has agreed to continue, and with this scroll either Mindra or myself can now cast it in combat and claim it is just a healing scroll in order to keep the questions to a minimum. One other thing of note to clarify our narrator is Lord Jayku's gifts. I do have some magical hairpins, but not as gift from our lord. As is the case with the spirits around here awhile back some of them must have liked me because my hairpins spontaneously began giving me a greater insight into peoples motives. This had happened once before with my obi suddenly conferring on me a greater sense of self worth that many interpreted as an increase in beauty as well. As with my explorations into storing both Arcane and Divine magics how this happens is something I will have to look into in more detail. But back to Lord Jayku's gifts, as a gift from him I received a new kimono in my colors of green and white. This kimono had a permanent magic much like my obi only stronger. As it worked the same whether my obi was worn or not I decided to give the obi away. So knowing that he had been a good friend and had never let me down, and knowing that he sometimes seemed somewhat awkward around others, and that from past experience with spontaneous spirit items that his alignment was not to far from mine, I gave Toshiro my obi to help him out.
