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

"I don't know who you are," Lincon grumbled while staggering in Lily's direction. "But you're going to be a problem if you're around."

As he walked, the wound was beginning to close at a slow rate that gradually increased. Lincon himself barely noticed it.

Lily tripped over herself and fell backwards. Lincon was still a bit of distance away.

"What is an average girl like you doing here anyway?" Lincon continued grumbling. "You look young enough to be my niece."

He paused before asking, "What's your name?"

"Lily..." Lily muttered hesitantly.

He thought about it before shaking his head. "Nah, don't know you at all."

His wound was almost completely healed. The healing process had begun to accelerate. By the time he reached Lily, the wound was completely healed. Lincon paused to pat his healed leg. He took a couple of seconds to think things through before giving up on it.
