Representative Koschei the Deathless
The ability to live forever. Yes, it is true that we don’t possess this ability on our own (at least not as of yet). People and animals both can and will change as they age, and eventually die at some point. Eternal life is ingrained in the collective human consciousness, having been present in literature and myths for as long as they’ve been around. Literally. The Epic of Gilgamesh (the oldest heroic epic known to the modern world) is, in large part, about the titular character’s search for a way to live forever… ~ Immortality – TV Tropes
