I was shaken to my core. Evil was my nature and the androsphinx had stated in
plainly so. Tearfully I said to the androsphinx, Exactly what I was born as,
but no more.

And then he whispered with his claws drawn aiming at my throat, Would you like
me to end your pain?

In that moment I found my resolve. I spoke, My pain is but a reminder that
there is a more merciful path in front of me... So no, I do not need you to end
it, I am ready to account for my sins, and to move forward in an arc bent
towards the Light.

He replied, You will need to be mindful. Present. Your guilt serves no one and
nothing if all it results in is more self-pity. What will you do with it?

And I said, See to it as what it is, a reminder that I can fall easily should I
not otherwise keep my eyes forward.

And with that he turned his back and returned to his watch.
