I have lived since the dawn of civilization, and we be living long after it is nothing but mere remnants. I bear a curse that most consider a blessing from God or perhaps a deal with the Devil, but alas neither had their hands in this dealing. However this curse was not of my own doing either. Well, perhaps there was something I could have done to prevent this burden. However living for so long has made me come to realize that whether or not I had the knowledge I have now then, I still would have acted the same.

It all started when I was hunting in the forest. Back then it was just a man and his spear, and of course the occasional hag, that was on top of the food chain. Well, that occasional hag is what got me in this situation. In my arrogance and self centeredness, I pushed aside a hag when she was being chased by wild animals. I thought nothing of it, until the beasts scared away my food. That's what pissed me off, and so I killed the beasts, but then turned my eyes to the hag.

"You scared away my food! Your luck I had gathered enough food for myself last hunt, hag. However for this you must pay justice with your life."

"Are you so egotistical and selfish to punish me when all I was doing was trying to live? I curse you; I curse you with a curse that will have you live forever!"

"That is your curse? Laughable, enough of your talk, you die!"

It is then I took her life without even a thought of remorse. I laughed at her curse. I thought nothing of it. It wasn't until decades after my curse would I even understand what this curse would certainly entail; when my entire family died while I never even aged a year. I was to live forever while everyone died around me. While they happily lived their lives I was to suffer an eternal life alone.

Over the years, I devised a so far unsuccessful plan. This was the plan; I would find anyway to kill myself. I devoted my whole life to not, that is I became an immortal that tried to end his life at every turn. I tried all attempts at suicide; cutting my wrists, drowning, burning myself, I've even resorted to decapitation.
