I Have...
I have crossed dry desserts, cut through thick jungles, trekked along wildernesses, and scaled high mountain peaks...only to be stopped by a small bump on the road.
I have conquered fertile lands, erected vast civilizations, brought stability to harsh territories, and made lasting alliances...only to be toppled by a small band of peasants.
I have suffered exotic illnesses, bitten by deadly insects, repelled infamous diseases, and withstood potent poisons of all kinds...only to be fallen fatality ill by a common cold.
I have been lusted after by beautiful women, lured young princesses, courted by powerful queens, and have gotten the attention of Aphrodite herself...only to fall in love with you.
