....somehow, I stumbled across the True Lightning Rune, and it chose me as its bearer. Because of that, I've lived decades without aging a single day since, trapped in this life by the rune's power. I've seen nearly every person I've cared about die, whether slain or by old age, and will outlive everyone else I've met and will ever meet. Because its power is so coveted, I have to hide the rune, so that it doesn't fall into the wrong hands.

I'll probably be forced to continue this way, unless I'm slain by some accident or the rune chooses a new bearer, until the end of time.

*.......yeah, he could use another drink :|*
