A long time ago, I used to try to be good.  I tried so hard, but I couldn't do it.  My name is *****, I was summoned to the world of Atheria, and truly I regret it.  I had everything, I had the power of a god.  Yet, I lost everything, not because of others.  It was me, I didn't age anymore, I didn't change at all....

...I was horrified, all of them turned on me, they yelled at me.  Why they screamed, we all did it, we saved the world.  When the world was in danger, we went, and when the people needed to be saved, we went.  When the sky islands were sinking, we saved them all.  When the gods of darkness were coming, we stopped them all, and saved the world time after time.  We made sure, even the worst of things could never escape.  When the people were oppressed by the delight of suffering of others, we protected them.  When the God of light asked us to save other worlds, we saved them.

...The people who used to be my friends were crying now.  Their hair looked old, and grey, as they resented me.  I was the only one in the group with power to defy reality.  I had given them youth when they didn't realize it, I had made them stronger, and I had given them power.  I spent my time in darkness many times, while they focused on training.  I spent many times in the shadows, giving them vigor, ...but the God of this world found out....  He got mad, and sealed my ability to affect this world.  Though, he could not affect me, he could at least stop me from affecting his.

Now..., they are susceptible, to the whims of time....  So...here we are now, ...they're crying, ...many of them are rulers....  They have brought prosperity for more than two hundred years, and they're losing it all....  They thought the God of light had bestowed them immortality, but it was me.

...I had given them everything, and now they've lost it all.  Funny thing is, I never complained....  When the women I loved, left me for another, I did not complain.  When they left me to rule their kingdoms, I did not complain.  When they came and asked me for help in anyway, I did not complain.  When I taught all those children that became their heroes, only to die for them, or because of them.... I did not complain, I merely took it in stride.  When Sarah, my former beloved was deserted by her spouse, all so he could marry another.  I did not complain, though I cried,  because she had told me when she left.  

Do not interfere, do not get involved, and if we need your help do not bother.  She said this all, because she had loved me still, but tired of the idea of settling down.  She only wanted to adventure, and when I said I'd go, she said she tired of me too, and so she made me swear it by oath.

Now...they are screaming at me in the end....  I sit atop a stump, watching the world, when they first showed up.  They had only seen me covered in foliage as I had not moved in years.  They were talking about their immortality going away, and about their power fading.  They continued for hours, until one of them noticed, and they tore the foliage away.  So I told them the truth, and they resented me.

Tears streamed down my cheeks, as they plunged their swords into me.  As I slowly closed my eyes, I knew I could not die, so I returned to my old world.  A world where I had been left alone as well....
