Immortality is a myth.  I made a deal. I don’t know if she was the devil, god, or some other enigmatically dreadfully divine being– but all I knew was that she was batshit crazy and that if I didn’t say yes I’d get metal twisted into my guts. The deal was that I’d fix something for her– a story, she said, and that I’d be rewarded with something good. To make it easier, she would make me immortal so that I would actually succeed. Let’s just say it didn’t go very well, and that she was lying son of a bitch.. but at least I was able to gain something from it.. or maybe not. But, this is how that story goes.
