...it's kind of interesting to think about. There are a few different legends where I'm from about it, like the one about this shrine I like to visit sometimes. The old texts say that one day, a man sent one of his followers on an urgent quest to find a mysterious magical fruit. It was a fruit that would grant you immortality if you ate it. The journey took forever, but by the time the fruit was located the man who had requested it had died. The follower mourned for the loss of his idol, and he gave half of the fruit to the man's wife instead while leaving the other half on his idol's grave. After that? He died.

But they say that the fruit is still in the shrine. It's a shrine to the gods, so I guess it makes sense. I've always wondered about it though.
