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

Lied watched as the light in his hand dimmed out and extinguished. He clutched the Magic Stone that hung around his neck like a necklace. He lost the feeling of being able to control his Mana, leaving him completely powerless.

Hilda glanced back when she noticed the lack of light.

The only light source came from the windows along the hallway they were walking along. The sun was starting to rise. Lied moved closer to the window to bask himself in the sunlight, his semi-transparent hand beginning to regain colour.

They decided to rest there for a bit.

"We've been here for a bit," Lied commented.

They severely underestimated themselves. They had some food and water they had gathered from the city where Lied awoke. It had only been a couple of days but Lied already felt as if they were running dry.

Hilda pulled out some dried meat and passed it to Lied. Lied refused it.

"You have to eat," Hilda insisted.
