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

Hilda walked several steps behind, wary of anything Eunos might pull. She had kept the Book of Revival behind her and under her shirt. From what she had noticed, Eunos had yet to notice what she was hiding.

"If you agree to come with me, I'll promise you a blissful life for the next two years," Eunos offered as they walked.

She was waiting and biding her time. Hilda had never once seen Eunos fight. The only time she had properly seen him use magic was Eunos' wave of flames after she had killed him. However, he had managed to sneak up behind her and isolate her before she even had time to react.

"Your name will be cleared," Eunos elaborated. "You shall no longer be a wanted criminal. We get to live together in comfort far away from other humans."

He glanced behind when he noticed Hilda slowing down.
