Sumdud

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.

*(Notice: The first part of the story is a backstory. If you don't really like the theme of the backstory, I understand if you just don't read it.)

Immortal Wanderer

"Hey!" Lied tried shaking Patricia awake.

The red mist which had surrounded her previously had dissipated, leaving Patricia lying down on the side of the street. When she did not wake up, he turned to check the wreckage of the house that was left. Patricia's bag was inside, and likely the Ice Rune was inside as well. It was nowhere near sunrise, but he could at least try to salvage whatever was left.

He ran into the wreckage, making sure to watch his step for any sharp objects. Lied spent time digging through the broken down inn, throwing scraps of wood aside. He was dripping with sweat, but he wanted to keep himself busy.

Eventually, after what felt like hours, he managed to find a bag.

He opened it, seeing everything basically intact. Even the potions inside were perfectly fine. Instead of questioning it, he made his way back to where Patricia was.

"Oi!" Lied tried shaking her awake.
