As I sit in this luxurious hotel just finishing the best meal of my life
I contemplate how I got here. All I wanted was to track down a certain
band of savages and yet here I am working with a misfit band that
includes three of the very savages I despise so much, a half breed, a
Southern preacher, and an eccentric man from the East. I could have
avoided all this if those stupid outlaws would have waited one more day
to rob the bank and kidnap those kids. Maybe this could have been
avoided if somebody would have walked to the bank with me but these men
are not real deliberate in their actions their first move seems to
always look for cover instead of just going after the problem. Still,
they have proven fairly effective once they decide to fight even the
preacher did well at the outlaw's cabin. The Indian called Dog worries
me. I'm sure he was ready to attack me back at the cabin and the
fancy-dressed man named Henry seems very odd I've heard him talking to
his gun and his focus seems to drift fairly easily. The Indian shaman
confuses me. It seems that he is trying to right some wrong but doesn't
know how to go about it. Dalton on the other hand seems to be hiding
from something. He is noticeably absent from this lovely meal. The
other Indian is very cautious and I have yet to figure out his motives.
How I survived the cave is beyond my understanding. Once again I found
myself the only one willing to react to the problem. I would probably
be dead had I not had that shotgun. I was surprised when the shaman
actually followed me into the fray, but he proved pretty ineffective
with the weapons he chose. Leaving the shotgun for him probably saved me
as he was able to wreak some real havoc with it. He was also willing to
chase down that bastard Jasper with me. Although, had he not been
there I could have finished the job properly. The rest of the group was
able to subdue the other Hacker brother even though Dog somehow managed
to nearly blind himself in the process. So now here we are in Kansas
trying to figure out some mystery for the railroad and I still don't
know why I am here. Oh well, maybe this will lead me to my goal
eventually. At least I can earn some money and perhaps learn a little
about my enemies from the savages I am travelling with.
As we ride the Union Blue on our way to Selina I remind myself that the lord has called upon me to serve him at all times. As i reflect upon the last few days I realized I have not been as faithful to God and decide to spend a good amount of the train ride in thought and prayer, and then I doze off into a sleep. Our ride stops abruptly as I awaken, for us to discover, another train stopped ahead. The conductors of each train spoke and returned to inform us the tracks have been severely damaged and we cannot proceed until the appropriate repairs are made. The lord has blessed our day however and a local town was readily available to accept us for some rest. As we arrived into the town of Lazerath, we observed a small band abusing an elderly lady. A number of our group ran to assist this poor woman, who appeared disheveled and beaten, and as we ran to assist, the band of goons left to act foolishly elsewhere. The old lady pulled a knife on me as I tried to help her but left...
