It all depends. I've spent centuries, as far as I know, out of their radar. Then they decided to one day stick me with something that I didn't want. Just like that. Without a single explanation. Not even the most powerful shamans could tell me why. I looked for answers every where, tried ever which way to get rid of a chila tas what they'd given me but I couldn't. I ended up dying for it.
Does that answer your 'what then'?
Maybe they did. Maybe they didn't. I can tell you for sure I never thought that I'd willingly die for anything. But I did. Circumstances change all the time. You don't have to accept it. And sure as hell don't have to give in right away completely but realizing that keeps you around for a lot longer in these types of things.
