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 dug around until she found what she was looking for. A bottle of tree sap she had stolen from one of the Elven Villages. It was a small bottle made of wood. Yuumeislyk presented the bottle to Macky, saying, "This can heal you."

"It is tree sap from these trees that have healing properties," Yuumeislyk explained. "Being near the tree can heal wounds and extend your life, and the sap can do the same. Drinking this can give you your arm back."

Yuumeislyk stood up quickly and started closing in on Macky, who stumbled backwards as Yuumeislyk got closer. Yuumeislyk said in an excited tone, pushing the bottle into Macky's chest. "Here, take this and heal!"

Macky put her hand between the bottle and herself.

"Wait, if I drink it, will you force me to stay?" Macky questioned, her eyes wide.
