Eventually, after trying in vain to heal himself, Chiron takes his own advice- he gives up. Even after entering into his own counsel to find the answer, and gaining even more knowledge and insight into healing therapies, and discovering medicine, he never cures himself. Searching for a solution never delivers the solution. He never finds the potion, lotion, energy therapy, flotation tank, raw food diet, flower essence, homeopathic remedy, or yoga pose that delivers the cure. Chiron decides that he would rather give up his immortality, become human, and die, than remain an immortal and live with the pain.
