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

Letha looked around her before asking, "Where was I going?"

"You shouldn't go down that path," Lied suggested.

"But whyyy?" Letha asked, dragging out her words.

"It's blocked," Hilda finally spoke. "We can't go up from there."

Letha just pouted. They managed to somehow convince Letha to follow them. Although the tower had been mostly empty, there was no telling what kinds of traps were lying in wait for them. Besides, after talking to Letha, Hilda and Lied had a silent agreement that it was probably for her own well-being that Letha sticks to their side instead of wandering about.

They made a big round and ended up taking a different path to find a stairway up.

While they climbed, Lied noticed how quickly he was running out of energy and strength in his legs. It was a long way up. Letha walked behind Lied and in front of Hilda. While Hilda was walking, she was constantly distracted by the floating green ball.
