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.

Immortal Wanderer

"So..." Lied started the awkward conversation between him and the vampire lady walking slightly in front of him. "Tell me more about yourself."

"Why do I have to talk about myself to a human?" She demanded, crossing her arms. "I have better things to do than to brag about my glorious endeavours to a human."

"Where did you come from?" Lied just asked.

She paused for a few moments before shrugging. "Vampires are creatures of the night. The only reason I can freely walk around during the day is that I am currently a ghost. You just need to remember that most creatures of the night come from Keslakoviv."

"Do I need to know what exactly that place is?"

"Not really, It's really just a big hole in the ground," The vampire said simply.
