"Then be prepared to worry a lot. I've always been a big bundle of trouble."
"You already are, Sis."
"It's hard to get equipment when you're considered as a very dangerous criminal. I'm supposed to be looking after you, though, not the other way around."
"I do have a simple cloak. It's got a few holes in it, but it's better than nothing."
"That's fine. Trust me, anything's better than the cell I had occupied."
"I'm tired too. We need to rest before heading to the capital."
"I was only eightteen when I was sent to prison, so that would make me twenty-seven now. I lived a very peaceful life with my parents, until that tragic day."
"Well now you're not alone anymore. You've got a big brother that will take care of and protect his little sister."
"How does everyone else treat you?"
"I'm glad at least someone sees me as a person instead of some bloodthirsty murderer."
"I'm saying that I want to adopt you as my sister, but I understand if you don't want to be related to a fugitive."
"No family, huh? How would you like to be a member of the Ishida family?"
"Just that they are one of the higher ups in the government. When I do find them, though, they shall pay in blood for what they did. Only then can the spirits of my family rest."
"It all started nine years ago. I had come home one day to find that my family had been murdered and the house ablaze. The magistrate had found me there and arrested me for murder. For nine long years, I sat in prison, awaiting my execution when one day, my chance for freedom revealed itself. A guard had dropped his sword, so I grabbed it and fought my way out, killing anyone that tried to stop me. Ever since then, I've been looking for the person who really killed my family and framed me for the crime. I'm certain now from what the magistrate had told me before I killed him that someone in the government was responsible. The only question left is why."
"I admit I'm not used to working. I used to be a nobleman up until nine years ago..."
"Alright." He said as he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"It would be nice to have someone to talk to on the way. It's a preety long story as to why I'm going, though. Would you like to hear it?"
"I'll be staying here tonight. I stopped here to get directions on how to get to the capital."
"Koza. Koza Ishida. Although most people call me Koza the Blood Demon nowadays. It's a long story."
"I'm sorry that I seemed rude to you earlier. I had to go ask the gods for forgiveness for my sins. I never did get your name."
