“It’s
said he betrayed a god.”
Finally the man faced him. His
face was scarred, and something that might have been a burn marred his jaw and
left cheek. For all that, he looked
young for a commander. “Heed the lesson
there, son.”
“What lesson?”
“Every decision you make can change the world. The best life is the one the gods don’t
notice. You want to live free, boy, live
quietly.”
“I
want to be a soldier. A hero.”
“You’ll grow out of it.”

the Moon by Steven Erikson)
