Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

I should have left him there. He had served his purpose. He owed me nothing - yet he gave himself to me willingly. Why? I know not. He is nothing more than a pathetic human. An inferior race. A mon-keigh. But still I broke off my wings so that I might carry him easier. I took him from that place, into the snowstorm where our tracks will not be found. He is heavy. And he is dying. And he is slowing me down. But I will save him. Why? I know not. He is still warm. I can feel his blood ebbing across me. For every beat of his heart, another, slight spill of heat. The heat blows away on the winter wind. His blood is still warm. But fading. And I have spilled scarlet myself. The snow laps greedily at our footsteps and our lifeblood, covering them without a trace as we fade away.

This is not a discussion, this is you looking for confirmation.
So, I'm just supposed to agree with you guys that immortality is boring? Being ordinary is boring, just being part of a faceless mass of flesh and animals. Compared to that, being an immortal or a god is so much more interesting.
Why do you look so negatively at being ordinary? Be positive!
Blame my parents: "You want to be a nobody for the rest of your life? Be ambitious! Be somebody!" (my father). "Why settle for ordinary when you can be so much more? Think big!" (my mother).

If you really think that being human is so boring and that the natural world around you is so uninteresting, you seriously lack an appreciation for the complexity and intricacy of human beings and the world we live in.

Indeed means you agree with someone.
If someone says "I think X" and you said "Indeed! I don't think X!" then you're using the word indeed incorrectly.

Ancient Venerable Dreadnought
Thousand Sons Battleship wandering the galaxy...

Who said anything about pain? I'm just going to go wander around the galaxy - if I don't like the things I encounter, I unleash my mechanical legions...or just have the star go supernova or throw a naked singularity and wipe the planet from the face of the universe. Its not like they're Human...it'll be no better than swatting a fly or crushing a bug.

I should have left him there. He had served his purpose. He owed me nothing - yet he gave himself to me willingly. Why? I know not. He is nothing more than a pathetic human. An inferior race. A mon-keigh. But still I broke off my wings so that I might carry him easier. I took him from that place, into the snowstorm where our tracks will not be found. He is heavy. And he is dying. And he is slowing me down. But I will save him. Why? I know not. He is still warm. I can feel his blood ebbing across me. For every beat of his heart, another, slight spill of heat. The heat blows away on the winter wind. His blood is still warm. But fading. And I have spilled scarlet myself. The snow laps greedily at our footsteps and our lifeblood, covering them without a trace as we fade away.
