I haven’t updated this journal in a long time. There hasn’t been anything to say until the past two weeks. Life has, or I should say, was, going steady for the past few months. Yami and I have grown closer over our time together. He and his cousin have been polite to each other so I am grateful for their abilities to put differences aside. His skills are improving as well, speed, strength, and knowledge. I know that some bad things have been going on that revolve around Yami’s friends. I can only hope that he is kept out of this and that the others will be safe. I have also been living comfortably for the past time being, but it seems that the events of this darker section of the island are even reaching our doorstep. I don’t know why people insist on hurting the innocent citizens here. Someone told me it was all just to prove something or to test something, but that doesn’t give someone the right to torture people or put them in danger. I only thought that my friend would need my protection. I hoped that it would only be called on to deal with schoolyard bullies and the like. But this was not to be. I’ve been forced to use my powers three times now. Once was only due to a misunderstanding between myself and another man. We both thought that each had attacked the other and due to our thoughts that the other was on the opposite side; we were ready to attack. But before we could commence in a fight, he talked to me and the two of us were able to find out that we were allies in this whole mess. So instead of fighting, we trained. I have a high respect for his powers and skills. I haven’t seen any like them before. I think we’re going to get together some other time and spar again. The second time was when I was out on a night flight and found this man being attacked by less than friendly forces. I don’t know why they wanted him back, but it wasn’t anything that could have been good. Together, we were able to drive the attackers off and afterwards; I stayed with him till he got back home. He’s a very upbeat person and someone that I was glad to have helped. However, throughout both of these and all my time here, I have always believed in a simple rule of my own. I am never to kill a human being. My reasons for this are that I am not a human it was a human that saved me. I don’t know what their rules are about the killing of another human, but in my society, it was punishable by death. I never wanted to take the life of one of the people to whom I owe my life. As a member of my own race, here on their territory and under their rules, I don’t want to ever cause discourse or commit a crime. But… Just last week… There was group of person trying to hurt or kidnap someone who is very important to me, someone who I promised to protect and all costs. Their actions enraged me… and… I know my friend is safe, but I don’t think I can ever forgive myself for what I did that day. He didn’t criticize me for it or get mad at me, but… I can’t get over how I feel about it. Is it right to take a life out of defense or claim of protecting? Is it right to every take another life? I don’t know. But until I can find some kind of answer, I know I will never have peace in my body. I don’t know if I can talk to someone about this. But they need to know and this was one way I can do so without facing them yet.
