Prompt #11 - What do you want?
I want what just about everybody wants a long life, friends, to fall in love, and to be happy.
*locked to immortals*
I want to survive. I don't want to die. I'm five thousand years old and its not enough. I don't think it will ever be enough, every day there is something new to see. Yet, I don't think I want to win the Game. I don't want to be the last of our kind, surrounded by mortals whose lives are so short that there are times when it doesn't feel worth it to get to know them. I've had immortal friends before, MacLeod, Amanda, Rebecca, Darius, Constantine, Kronos, to name a few. I kept in contact with Rebecca and Darius even though my current persona would have a lot of explaining to do if I got caught speaking with them or writing to them. They were my friends, they had been for years I wasn't going to let a silly oath stop me, especially since I was already immortal and it was probably wrong of me to be a part them. They were my oldest and closest friends when they died. I mourned them and I retreated into my books, I let the current persona take over and became Adam Pierson until a Highlander showed up on my doorstep and dragged me back into everything.
The younger immortals have a passion in them that I lose every so often. I need them to wake me up sometimes. If I won, then I'd slip away and let myself forget who I was. I don't want to do that, so no I don't want to win. I don't want to be the last of my kind and I want to survive. I'll have to make sure someone survives with me or at least live until the time comes for me to give my head up. I will give it up if I have to, if for some reason the Gathering does happen and forces us to fight, I'll let someone I know and trust take my head. If its someone I don't know, well, then that will all depend on what I know about them. Of course, if I can I'll run and hide, so they'll have to find me first, provided I'm in the right mind. If I'm not in the right mind, well then all bets are off and I've been the Survivor of several groups.
