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

~A Middle City, 6115 a.d. Day 174~

Eunos had already prepared a carriage headed for the Capital long before Lied had managed to exit Babil.

At night, the carriage stopped in one of the Middle Cities. The driver and Hilda had gone ahead to sleep. However, Eunos remained awake. He had sensed two people leaving Babil, and had managed to identify them by their magic, similar to the way he tracked Lied in order to find Hilda.

While Hilda was fast asleep, Eunos went ahead and confronted Lied.

After he was chased off, it took him some time to get back to the Middle City. He had expended quite a bit of his mana and needed to recover while travelling back. By the time he arrived at the inn, it was almost daybreak. Eunos glanced around and knocked on Hilda's door. When there was no response, he simply stood there and waited.

When the sun finally rose, the driver left the inn and noticed Eunos.

"Oh, sir, is the ma'am awake?" The driver asked.
