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.

Immortal Wanderer

Hilda cursed as both exits to the hallway were blocked. She looked up, but there was simply no way she could scale a building just like that. Hilda tried to shake Lied awake, at least then she would have to worry less about having to protect an unconscious body. She was just someone without Magic having to face off against a crowd.

She pointed the knife at the closest person, warning him, "Don't get any closer!"

The person ran at her. Hilda carried Lied on her back, clutching him close with one arm before kicking the man back into the crowd. She then dodged a spike and chain thrown at her. Hilda dropped the knife momentarily to grab the chain, pulling the person closer, tripping up a few others.
