Hey, have you heard of a rumour floating around recently?

I heard that there’s this girl walking around, weird, right? She walks and just goes around the place, no one knows who she is, no one knows where she came from. Hell, I don’t think even she knows the answers.

But oddly enough, she never seems to age, does she? Of all the dragons, dwarves, elves everywhere, there’s a simple tale passed down from generation to generation.

Of a girl that does not age.

But...

How did it all start? In this fantasy world, how did this person come to be?

A world where humans isolate themselves within their walls, wary of the monsters that lie outside. A world of magic, a world of fantasy, but nothing seems carefree nor fun.

Dating back to one of the greatest disasters known to humanity, the disaster where many deaths were witnessed, life was made.

Living eternally, forever wandering about the world. Monsters do not attack her, no sickness plagues her, and time becomes irrelevant. Wandering from village to village, eventually, she comes across a group of excited people.

'Hey, take us out to the unknown, we want to see the world!'

This is a tale of finding the meaning of life in a world where nothing seems to go anyone's way.

Helen brought over a bag of medical supplies as she took a look at Lily's injuries. Lily did not make a sound, only watching Helen closely.


"How did you do to get in this condition?" Helen asked, tenderly lifting Lily's ankle.


Helen made sure to not touch the injury directly as she took a closer look at it. She commented, "This was done by a rusting blade, a cruel thing to do to such a young girl."


"She was kidnapped by a bunch of hooligans," Akuji explained to Helen. "They likely cut her ankles to prevent her from running away after she woke up."


Helen nodded before standing up, walking to a corner where there was a tray of medical supplies. She pushed the tray on a cart up to where Lily was. Helen said, "Well, we have received many words of grief from families who have had their sons and daughters kidnapped. It appears unholy things are ongoing throughout Ether."
