“Sure beats the alternative,” said James.

“What, to be mortal? Let me tell you boy, mortality is a weakness. You must protect yourself and your family from certain death by living far less of an adventurous life than you could if you were invincible.

And the worst of it all, you feed monsters like us in the end. Your only real purpose in life.”
