It was said that the fruit of Roudia was key to immortality.
A legend.
A very well-known legend.
Almost every Sahalla, young old, everyone, knew this. And they also knew about how a young boy once ate the fruit and transcended to divinity.
No one knew what happened to the boy afterward.
But- both legends played quite a bit of significance whenever the topic of searching for the fruit came up.
Everyone wanted the fruit. Some wanted to live forever- while others just wanted to escape their eventual fate- a fate which many condone.
There were some problems, however.
One, the fruit was really, really small. Two, it was extremely hard to find. And three- the tree only bore one fruit every one hundred years.
So, the odds of actually finding one were minuscule at best.
