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

Verxy and Yogw sat some distance away from Akuji, Lily and Letha. Akuji was trying to sleep while Lily was hugging her knees, Letha beside her. Letha's eyes were still wide open.

"Don't be afraid and try to get some sleep," Akuji gave some advice to Lily.

"You're afraid?" Letha asked Lily, her face a little too close for Lily's liking.

Lily hesitantly shook her head. Letha rubbed Lily's head, which confused Lily. Akuji sighed, telling her, "If anything happens, we'll be warned, relax."

Lily brought out her notebook. Letha looked at the book and beamed. She pulled out a couple of books from under her cloak, telling Lily, "I got those too!"

One was a restaurant menu that was starting to get worn out. The other was a slim black book that was under the menu. Lily wrote some stuff down in her notebook to show to Akuji.

"I do it sometimes," Akuji replied, staring at the books Letha was trying to wave around.
