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 hung around the top floor of Babil, just loitering around her own domain.

Macky lay on the ground, asleep. Yuumeislyk looked out the window of the top floor. The tower was designed in a way which no other creature could fly in or scale the walls of the tower. There was only one way in and one way out. The only one that could pass through the windows was Yuumeislyk herself and anyone she was in contact with.

She observed her hand, her disguise occasionally wavering. She stared at the Spirit of the Moon which hung high above the sky.

Primordial Spirits are the most ancient and strongest Spirits out there.

The more she stared at the Spirit of the Moon, the more she started to question, "Is this considered beautiful?"

Yuumeislyk had accidentally whispered it out loud.
