"June 12th, 1846.

I do not believe I have committed a crime, yet people believe I have. I am a young lady, aged around 16 I believe. Once, I had beautiful dirty blonde locks, however, someone slayed them with their sword. This was all because of me.. wasn't it? I believe I myself have been swallowed by pride so greatly that I just couldn't bring myself to stop swaying, those blue sparkles the children call 'magic' flowing like an Aurora borealis on a beautiful night. Alas, I do understand that people just don't understand, we don't wish to cause harm, we are just her to bring you folk joy.

Every single hour, as I hear the church bell chime, person after person is dragged out of their stone like imprisonment and brought to the outdoors to be killed off, or to have a fate much worse than death itself. I know my time will come eventually, at first though, my goodness I was horrified. However, I have now come to good terms with whatever god awaits me. I know I cannot escape, I am trapped, like a small bird in a cage, and once death awakens upon me, I shall be set out of that cage.

Do I hate these souls though? No, I do not. I understand, they have their speculations about us 'demons' and that is okay. I shall be beaten because they're scared, I shall be hung, drawn, and quartered because they are cowards, but I shall never hate them. All that I wish for is that I do not get to rest, that I shall be able to protect whoever has the same morals, whoever decided not to hold a grudge against those who wronged them. But for now, all I really can do is gaze upon myself in the small glass I was given and of course write, it helps me keep sane.. " - Kagami Nakayama, 2 hours before being burned to death.
