[ WP ] Two people discover a fountain of youth . The problem is that upon drinking the water you turn back into an infant . The two decide to take turns raising each other in order to live forever until one day one of them decides to break this agreement .

I always hated winter in New York. Ever since we first came here. Actually, I never liked New York at all. You may not have noticed, you've had so little time here, but the rain here is different from anywhere in the world, and believe me, I've been everywhere. 
 
 I am 3,569 years old. I was born in a small village outside Vienna. We met at the fountain, I was a 20 year old boy looking for water, She was an elderly woman who'd certainly been there before, It's a weird thing, she never did tell me her age. 
 
 We made a deal then. She would help me survive and I would help her. You see, when you drank from the fountain you woke up the next day as a baby. I tried my best and raised her until she was about 16 years old, she woke up one morning and remembered everything. Then I drank my potion and we switched roles. 
 
 Here's the tricky part: after 400 years we fell in love. But our love could only live 16 years at a time, when we remembered. It was frustrating sometimes, but when you know you have eternity, 16 years is a small breath. We had many children, and that helped us extend that, with the ones that understood. When my firstborn fell ill, I gave him the drink. It did n't work. It never did. Our tenth child agreed to raise us and we aged together for the first time. 
 
 Some people have changed the world. I never wanted to, all I ever wanted was to love her, and make her happy. I spent the better part of 4,000 years loving the same woman with all my heart, It never changed. I've seen the planet change in a way that's almost enough to fill your brain with awe and sadness at the same time. I've fought pretty much every war there's a record of. All for her love, her safety. 
 
 And yesterday, without any notice, I found her stabbed to death, with the same knife I made all those years ago, a note saying she was tired, could n't do it anymore. Did n't love me back anymore. 
 
 Pour me another, will you?
