Random Leaf #1260

"Was he happy after?" asked the spirit.

"Tears slid down his cheeks. Yet he did not know why. He wiped it off and continued dreaming." I recounted.

"Was it tragic?" the spirit moved back and gave a sigh of melancholy. He too does not want tragedy.

"It was the birth a of a new god. Should it not have been joyous?" I asked as I tried to lighten the mood.

"Does the cost equal the worth?" the spirits eyes turned clouded. Ripples of tears were forming beneath his eyes.

"There's more to the story though," I answered. "It was not only the new god that was bestowed a gift. Even the girl herself were too rewarded."

"What happened to the girl?" the spirit's eyes brightened.

"She too forgot about him. It was to save her from grief." I answered without thinking and regretfully after.

"So it was as if the two never knew each other?" the spirit asked.

I nodded. I went close to the ears of the spirit and whispered.

"There's more to the story though."
