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

Hilda's vision became completely blank as someone's hand covered her eyes. She reached back and managed to grab the person with her free hand. When she tried to flip the person over her back, she found that the person felt almost as if there was no weight.

"You were the human I saw that day," Hilda heard Lied say. "You are supposed to be dead, what are you doing here?"

"You are none of my concern," The person replied.

Hilda clutched his hand, but his grip did not let up.

"Let go of that human in your hands," Hilda heard Lied demand.

"I shall send you back to where you are supposed to be."

An explosion could be heard and all of a sudden, Hilda lost all feeling in her body for a split second. It was almost like she had spaced out and returned to reality. The hand was finally removed and Hilda could once again see.

In front of her was a face she had hoped to never see again.
