Entry 14:<\/p>\n
\tI’ve been thinking a lot about how poor Miharu is estranged from her mother. That just isn’t any good. The mother-daughter relationship is the most important one! I wouldn’t even be alive without my mother, and I don’t mean that in the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153she gave birth to me\u00e2\u20ac\u009d sense. She provided me with food and shelter and saved me when I fell down that well and again when that well fell on me. I don’t know what happened between the two, but no matter what it was it isn’t a good enough reason to cut ties completely. Miharu has lost her family, and she wants me to fill the void, but she still has family left. I’m sure her mother wishes to make nice as well, it’s just instinct. Even the lowest of the low can’t help but love their family. Now don’t get me wrong, I’ll always be there for Miharu. I owe her family that much, but it just isn’t the same thing. <\/p>\n
\tI suppose we’re a busy lot at this point, but should our work take us near that Kitsune village I hope to convince Miharu to pay a visit to her mother. I still have Zack’s last words to deliver and must report his and Akii’s deaths to her. It’s a thing I’m not really looking forward to, but a responsibility I must not shirk. Maybe I can even convince Miharu to stay put in her hometown. She’s done a lot, more than one could have expected from her, but our fight is a long and hard one and I fear I will not be able to protect her as I promised. Enough Cyprini blood has been spilled for this cause. They are a family of heroes, but one of them has to live on.<\/p>\n
\tI feel like I can’t keep doing what I’ve been doing for much longer. Something decisive is going to happen soon, I can hear it in the hushed melodies carried along in the breeze. Something or someone is going to reach its\/their breaking point. <\/p>\n
Pirate Songstress Shai-Hsien’s official list of things to do:<\/p>\n
1: Continue to be of the living. (Check!)
\n2: Keep Miharu of the living. (Number one priority.)
\n3: Become awesome! (Aww yeah!)
\n4: Grow two more arms. (Find a Kreen and ask him for advice?)
\n5: Invent cannon cannons. (No progress yet.)
\n6: Become immortal or something. (Why not?)
\n7: Learn the difference between \u00e2\u20ac\u0153demon\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153devil\u00e2\u20ac\u009d (I keep meaning to ask Sir Jebel)
\n8: Create greatest song the world will ever know. (Simple!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
