Imortel 10.000 BCE Chapter 2 Part 4
I had numerous more delightful years with my adopted daughter. However, nothing lasts forever except for my own life, it seems. As time went on, she grew older while I remained youthful as ever. Eventually, both her and her husband passed away. Their children did not know me because explaining immortality to them would be difficult and keeping it a secret was necessary. Suddenly, I felt very alone. For months, I cried a lot and lost my will to do anything. I began to think that my life was a curse, even contemplating ending it, but that was impossible. It had been about a year since my daughter's death when one day, I realized I could not continue living like this. I needed to make changes in my life and start anew. I forced myself to get up and clean myself up. Then, I packed everything necessary for the journey ahead. Afterward, I burned down the house where I had lived for so long. Determined to move forward, I left and continued traveling eastward as I did many years before.
