Nhysa asked a thoughtful question. Li had to actually remember the answer. "No, it was after. I only use the power for neutral things. It comes from a place of balance, and violence is not something I know how to do with it. The monks who taught me didn't know anything either. Or rather they would not teach me." They probably knew, but Li hadn't taken any life with the power inside. The delicate balance would be disrupted. "But I did discover what I was while hunting a monster. A dreyken, he was about to kill a boy, I froze him. I still don't know how, and I did accidentally take the man's life. The monster wasn't a monster -- just a man pretending to be a monster. But he was a serial killer, the police let me off easily."
Li grinned at Nhyssa. "But no, there are no oni scars. Letting one of them get too close usually means you've been pummeled into the earth or thrown unconscious against a wall. Bullet Proof armored skin makes them hard to kill. Beheading without a sword is difficult -- the shotgun was the best I could do. And my aim for an eye shot isn't so good while having a 2 ton beast furling it self at me." There was a few exaggerations in the beast, but the neck was less armored for movement sake, but the area was very small -- almost as small as the eye shot.

“What you must do," said Monkey, "is lure the monster from its hiding place, but be certain it is a fight you can survive.”
