Work from sunrise to sunset, then raise a family and smile as you watch your children and grandchildren fill the home. Live out your hundred years, then look back on a life full of regrets.
Regret never seeing your family rise and fall, never learning the myriad wonders of heaven and earth.
And regret never breaking through the limits of a mortal lifespan.
But...
If the immortals never met me, how could they touch my head and grant me eternal life?
