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

Lied was standing not too far away from Hilda. Hilda had a sword strapped to her waist and the Book of Revival in her hands. Lied staggered due to the tremors in the ground before commenting, "What even is going on?"

"What are you doing here?" Hilda asked, her hand reaching for the handle of her sword.

He gained a bit of distance from Hilda. He crouched low to the ground so that he didn't have too high of a risk of falling down. The ground was shaking, dirt was bouncing up and down. Stones from the graves were crumbling. Leaves fell from the trees in the distance.

"Before you go all murder on me, I have a question," Lied started talking, putting a hand between them. "Who is the guy you're working with?"

Hilda's eyes widened. "What did he do?"
