Clans of the Council of Jade,

Most of you know me, by actions if not personally. And to confirm what is fact I am an Oni. I have done wrong in my previous lives and I was punished by being chained to the soul of a pious man to learn, this was not enough, when I sought clemency the Fates chose to grant it to me, however with a twist, I was to walk the Emperors land as an Oni and serve its people. They knew that the people needed a guardian that would act without regard to perceived honour or Face.

I have done what they asked of me, protected those of the council whom I travelled with and more. I was persecuted for my form and exiled and outlawed. All the while the Emperors words rang in my ears
“However we find that Lord Naga did not have the right to issue a blanket decision on all Oni. While unlikely the chance that they can be returned to us and allowed to purge the sins that dragged them to the Shadowlands must remain.”

If those who sought to return and work with empire and they saw how one of them who is loyal to the Jade Empire and the Emperor was treated, why would they return. All this shows is that their actions ere correct and that those of the empire are close minded and unforgiving. I will continue in loyalty regardless as this is my lot in life and I accept that.

Can those of you here look to the light of forgiveness for those who seek it? Or are you just as bad as he who damns those souls who may have made poor choices.

And before the Seppuku ritual is talked about, it is not always the answer. Point in fact, my previous life before this form I committed to the act of seppuku, please ask any that were at the wedding of myself and Lady Dansu, all witnessed my actions, it did nothing to prevent my punishment.

Sometimes forgiveness is the answer, even the emperor says this in his missive.

Please feel free to reply to this missive how you see fit. I am your servant and protector

Toshimoko

Toshimoko,

Having stood side by side with you in battle I find your actions to be true to the words you have spoken. I, for one and not a man to pass judgement, nor am I even well placed to do so.

I would be honoured to stand beside you once more for the benefit of the council.

You maybe the servant and protector of this council Toshimoko, but, you will always be, my friend.

I am here for you, Toshimoko. I hear your open plea, I may speak for Heaven, Its Emperor, and The Twins. You have suffered and it is time for you to travel to where you belong, but the final step is for you to want absolution and I urge you to choose redemption and The Path of Heaven. Both Lady Niko and our Jade Emperor are correct, for every Oni, there is the possibility of redemption and to find peace for these Lost Souls for me is more than just a duty, it is an honour. To have you come with us; The Fortunes, The Kami and your Creators at their wish will not only create a greater calm in the land as all beings see the divinity of Heavens light in your ascension, whereafter you may know peace, but will make all of us content as you enjoy your rightful reward of joining your Ancestors in harmony.

I apologise on behalf of the Totems that were not present to guide you to Heaven upon passing from your last life, but I am here for you now. Forgiveness for those that truly wish it, is always the answer. I beg of you to stand with us in your rightful place as a Fortune of Heaven, a guardian that has proven his honour, and an example to all those that wish to step from the Shadow of Khuldach. It was not the design for those to suffer so, we were tricked and will do all within our power to bring you and yours back to the Light.

You are not the first that I have rescued and you will not be the last. All you need do is make any offering at any of the shrines to The Fortunes and pray for attendance, I will meet you there and guide you to Heaven.

(OOC: see Lee for redemption option)

I believe my Brother is right, and offers a good choice for you. I advise that you consider his councel, for he is wise in this. I suspect that many do not comprehend quite how old my Brother, Sister and I are, and the purpose our Lord created is for, but please believe that he really does know what he is doing - Take the peace, honour and rest he offers.

Ri Leck.

As much as my tired soul aches for the chance for redemption, this offer is not mine to take. The Fates chose this to be my form and their wisdom is not mine to question. This is my service and much as any other servant it is not for me to choose a path other than that which has been set before me by powers greater than I. As I said above I chose a selfish path in my first life and now I must pay for it. I asked for and require no redemption, simply acceptance while I do the duty I have been set to task.

The forgiveness I asked for was for the others that suffer in the forms of oni, and I feel that they also should be given the chance to live as others do, however much as people do, many will choose to succumb to a path that will lead to conflict with the citizens of Amlas. However if Ri-Lan can offer this to them andthey can take it, this is a great chance for them to rejoin their loved ones.
