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

It had been about ten days since Lily, Akuji and Verxy entered Babil.

They still had a decent amount of supplies, but there was no guarantee that it would last. Besides that, Lily herself had barely eaten the past few days while alone. The group walked with Verxy and Yogw up front. Akuji and Lily hung out behind.

Lily, while wearing the scarf, had managed to explain a bit of what had happened. At least, whatever she could remember. Although it was strange that Letha came out unscathed from the collapse, it was even stranger that Lily was seemingly unaffected by the curse. Pushing that aside, there was still the mystery of just what exactly was 'protecting' Lily.

Yogw and Verxy had a conversation.

"What do you think is up with... her...?" Yogw whispered softly enough that Lily would not be able to hear him.

"What are you on about?" Verxy asked.
