DISCLAIMER: I do not own Suikoden IV or its characters. Konami does. So just relax, unwind and enjoy the story!

Our story begins after Snowe allegedly sees Sorphon (the name of my hero) use the Rune of Punishment to kill Commander Glen. They have a trail and Sorphon is found guilty and can never return to Razaril. Katarina is saddened to see Sorphon go, and knows he didn't do it. But what if Katarina chased after Sorphon instead of take the abuse from the now commanders of Kooluk?

Katarina's Log, Entry One: "I'm Going After Him!"

Katarina sit in her quarters, saddened about what she had just done to one of the best Knights of Gaien and two of his friends. It was running in her mind for a good ten minutes. It was eating her alive. She literally could not live with the decision she just made. A few minutes later, she got a visit from an unlikely visitor.

"Miss Katarina?" the guard asked.

"Yes?" Katarina said with a glum tone.

"There is a someone by the name of Mitsuba here. Shall I take her to the dungeon?"

"No. Let her in. I'll at least hear what she has to say. Like I should have done with Sir Sorphon…"

The guards let the Mistuba, Sorphon's biological sister, in. She was wearing a red top, and a cloth skirt, and carried a huge sword. She looked upset when she looked at Katarina. Katarina was at a loss for words when Mitsuba broke the silence.

"So, is this what you do to the innocent?" Mitsuba asked sternly. "You send them to die all alone at sea? You Knights of Gaien are truly the lowest of the low."

"Slow down! This decision was made by ALL the Knights. Not just me. If you ask me, Sir Sorphon IS innocent."

"Then why did you send him into exile, you heartless wench!"

"Because we have a pact with The Lord of Razaril."

"And whatever he says goes? Next thing you're gonna tell me is that his swine of a son, Snowe is commander of the Knights of Gaien."

"Well…he is."

"I should kill you right now. I don't even know why I waste your time with swine like you…"

"Because of Sorphon."

"What did you say?"

"It's because you love Sorphon that you're willing to go to jail, or even be beheaded. But I won't let that happen. It's my fault that I let them believe that Sorphon did such a thing as kill Commander Glen."

"You WHAT? Is THAT why he's being exiled? You've gotta be kidding!"

"Mitsuba…you have every right to kill me. But at least let me help you prove that your brother is innocent."

"And what do you plan on doing?"

"I plan on getting two of his friends, taking a ship and I'm going to attempt to find Sir Sorphon, that's what I'm gonna do! I unfairly exiled him…the least I can do is find him."

"Heartfelt…but I still don't trust you. That's why I'm coming with. And if you plan on doing anything to Sorphon when you find him…I'll break every bone in your goddamn body. You got that, Katarina?"

"I've got it. Thank you, Miss Mitsuba."

"Yeah, yeah…"
