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

Yuumeislyk hid amongst the crowd as a parade was held for the 'heroes' ready to depart for the outside world. She watched as a group of ten waved to the crowd. One of those people was Letha, who had a smile on her face when she saw the sheer number of people cheering for her. When Letha's gaze was about to land on Yuumeislyk, Yuumeislyk turned invisible momentarily.

When they were gone from the Capital, the crowd started to disperse.

However, Yuumeislyk remained. She stared down the street where the members of the Second Expedition had walked. It was so easy for her to turn invisible and follow the group. She would be with Letha again, it was that simple.

But she wanted to have hope. Hope that Letha would keep her promise.

One day, Letha was going to return and take Yuumeislyk on a journey. When she finally turned around, she noticed something in the corner of her eye. Something most people might not have been able to spot.
