Tengu's Redemption: The Return of the Samurai 
*please note, this is a fictional continuation of the events that took place yesterday. I am alive and well. So please, do not think that I'm wishing to die or anything like that. Thank you*
After Tengu's 'execution', his spirit was cast into a void. Darkness swelled around him. His spiritual form floated about the darkness, incessantly. 
Screams of pain, hatred, and torment rang through his ears. Was this Hell? It may as well have been. This constant feeling of being stabbed surged through his body. He bled, yet, there was no blood being drawn.
After what seemed like years just floating through the abyss, a voice rang. The Angelic Holy Priestess.
"Tengu, death will not be your end. The inhabitants of Earth need you. Your family needs their vengeance. You cannot die.", she spoke ever so soflty.
"But, I have failed. I struck out against two people that did nothing wrong to me.", Tengu replied, reflecting on his actions.
"Tengu-San, forgiveness has already been bestowed upon you. You have nothing left to atone for. You're torturing yourself for no reason. This Hell you exist in, you have created for yourself. It is uneeded.", She said.
Tengu knew she was right. The others had already forgiven him, but he couldn't bare to forgive himself. Not after what he had said and done. But he did still have his vengeance to seek for his family. 
"Fine. I will come back. But only for this purpose. When my quest for vengeance is complete, I will give my mortal life up, permanently.", he said frimly.
"As you wish, Tengu-San.", the priestess said. 
An apparation appeared before Tengu, wrapping her arms around him tightly. She approached the young panda, with her perfect beauty, and endowed him with her ethereal 'Kiss of Life', returning all of Tengu's mortality back to his body.
Tengu awoke in his home, as if it were all just a strange dream.
Looking at his palms, and his new chance for life, he set out to right the wrong he had created, and went forth with the blessing from the Otherworld.
