Idle Words of Immortals

If you have nothing to do, why seek an immortal's fate? If you have nothing to do, don't go looking for one! I searched and searched, but found no trace. I asked no questions, and yet fate came to me. I was just an idle man, only wishing a hundred years weren't so short; once I sought immortality, I sighed at the long nights spent alone. I called out to ask where fate could be found, and the immortal awoke from his dream, smiling without a word.
