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

Ruby had walked some distance away from the bloodshed. She stopped in an empty hallway and placed a spell to ward off monsters. She stood there and waited.

It didn't take long for an image to appear.

A translucent image of a young man appeared floating ever so slightly in the air. The figure blinked a few times before facing Ruby, asking, "Why was I unable to connect with you until now?"

"There was someone who learnt anti-magic," Ruby replied, smiling. "You know, I'm surprised you of all people decided to show up here. What? That little city of yours gotten too boring?"

"I'm here for my own reasons," He stated.

She then stared directly into his eyes, asking, "Eunos, do you intend to get in my way?"

Eunos shook his head. "I do not intend to stop you from whatever it is you want to do. I'm simply here for one person and I'll leave Babil soon after."
