A Trickster's Choice

"So, I'd forget everything, every scratch. every scar, every hurt...every pain? "
 
Triceal, the God of Trickery nodded slowly, the flicker of the candlelight around them illuminating the soft fur upon the cats back. I sighed heavily taking in every inch of my own bedroom "I'd wake up each morning and feel the warmth of my mothers arms, the strength of my brothers hands holding mine, the smile on my fathers face?"
 
"Overtime you would forget everything from you previous life" The cat spoke with curiosity
 
"It sounds so nice...but I haven't swum to the bottom of the seas to feast with a king of an ocean, flown high on the back of a golden dragon, gifted ancient armours from a devil who sought to be my ally, befriended a giant with songs and art, brought alliances between feuding Hadrial. One now even shares my own body. I have visited you brothers realm and forgiven him for the hurt he caused me, loved your sister with my whole heart and sat with her while she wept, I taught a city to hope after death, to stand next to my enemy and call him friend. I haven't walked so long through the fire, that nothing can burn me anymore. I haven't journeyed this far...to finish exactly where it began"
 
Reflecting the choice was simple, I could not leave behind everything I had accomplished for a life I never knew...That however did not mean that the choice was any easier
