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

After Verxy and Yogw woke up, they continued walking along the seemingly endless hallway.

Lily was still sticking close to Akuji, and Letha was walking alongside Lily. While walking, Letha touched some of the Runes hanging around Lily's neck, asking, "What's this?"

Lily panicked a little, not knowing how to answer her.

Letha then looked Lily in the eyes. "You don't talk a lot."

"She can't talk," Akuji stated for Lily's sake.

"Some sort of curse," Akuji told her.

Yogw turned back. "Oh, the girl is one of those with curses? What's her magical affinity?"

All three of Akuji, Lily and Verxy were unable to answer that question. Verxy whispered to Yogw, "We don't know 'cause even she doesn't know."

"Why?" Both Letha and Yogw asked at the same time.

Letha grinned and pointed at Yogw, exclaiming, "That's what I said!"
