Note: Based on the name, most will know that there is a connection to the Oldest Immortal, Methos of Highlander but he is unlikely to appear any time soon except in memories.

Chapter 13 - Choice

Nic Methos turn to meet Mokuba's eyes and Mokuba is shock by the depths of love, affection and warmth held in Nic Methos's irresistible Black Diamonds eyes for both himself and Seto. Soul deep instinct and certainty swamped Mokuba, a partial understanding about the nature of Nic Methos, his God. Nic Methos can be terrible, powerful, cruel and callous to others but Nic Methos will never harm them. He is like Seto, he care deeply for those he loved and only for those he cared about.

NO. Not he is like Seto but Seto is like him.

Nic Methos always walked his own path. Evil and Good is never a concern for him. Inside him there lurked light and darkness; good and evil; creation and destruction, truly entwined and joined together to made him unique. The God of Lighting and Fire, Nic Methos.

"Skysong." Nic Methos's voice cuts like a blade, snapping Mokuba's attention back to the God. "All of Icedrake's Egyptian memories till his death stored within his Scepter have been returned to him and Icedrake agrees that I will only revive all his memories till his first reincarnation."

"I offer you Choice, Skysong."

"Choice?"

"Yes. Usually I will only reawaken all your (Seto and Mokuba) memories when your souls have return to me as each of your reincarnations should be unburden by memories from your past lifes. However, as the situation is now, do you want your memories back too? As with Icedrake, I will only reawaken your memories till your first reincarnation. Chose..."

"Yes." Replied Mokuba, quietly but ever so firmly cutting Nic Methos off

A smile appears on Nic Methos's face and amusement can be heard from his tone. "You have not even heard the consequences of your Choice yet, Skysong."

"There is no need, my Lord." A small smile tug on Mokuba's face, his expression a mixture of part sorrow, happiness and no regrets at all. "Seto once said that he will suffer in the deepest level of Hell for the inventions he created that Gozaburo had twisted into his weapons of death. I never told him that I will follow him wherever he go, be it heaven or hell. I will not let him go alone. I will share his fate, his burden and his punishment. My place, be it in the past, present or future is at his side or as his sanctuary where he can return to."

"A warning, Skysong. Once made, your decision is final for this lifetime"

"Was there any doubt what I will choose, my Lord?" Asked Mokuba serenely.

"No." Affection from Nic Methos as he gently answer. "You have never change in this aspect and as his soul-mate you always have a place in Icedrake's heart and soul be it as a lover, wife, friend, ally, child, ward, disciple or even as his falcon or wolf."

"Falcon? Wolf?" Mokuba sounded a bit shock at that. The implications of what Nic Methos had just said.

"Do you think that you always reincarnate as human?" A thoughtful look came over Nic Methos at that. "It seem you had always chosen to be reincarnate as who and what Icedrake need. Yes, you did have some sense of precognition and it was linked with Icedrake. In this lifetime, he needs you as his brother as a blood kin with a natural basic connection by blood that nothing can ever change or break. Someone that will give him unconditional love and affection that he can accept and to have someone that he can be strong for and you are that."

A chuckle escape from Nic Methos. "Icedrake had chosen well to accept the Isis's offering. Although it was not the most powerful or useful item, the Millennium Torc is one that has the most affinity to and for you. Appropriate enhancements can be added if you chose to bond with it."
