Prologue
I have already learned the true nature of this world; every single language spoken by770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0FbBbbPCA
all the miscreated, bid farewell to all those that I ever met, and just finished predicting770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoOG6NslsV
most outcomes - not bad for someone born only a day ago.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2R1aILovf2
And now I must wait here for him, atop such a generous outcrop of stone; one so770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRayBpngno
easily protruding from the most graceful display of running water. A creek, I think it770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVIEoLwZPr
is called, that much like me, seems to always be running but never getting anywhere.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYdTspRKEt
I cannot think of a better example of the flow of time and design working perfectly770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEorgH0PBgp
in tandem. Yet another sample of what can be expected in this world above, I suppose770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B2NVsc6i0
and hope; an example that for so long has dared to cross these woods that the one770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pPENbzncv
I am waiting for, sometimes calls his own.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUBOjYVUoV
He should be here any moment now; my inherited memories keep assuring me770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOaKR9Lewy
that he comes by this exact spot every day to make his crossing, and today will be no770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWKo6lbtO9
exception. He will come. He will come and he will find me; he will find me, and he770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovj4zuf5Cw
will say:770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm5qKIpjYA
“And who might you be?”770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ961oLdKvnm
After I turned around, I was greeted with a weird-looking old figure, much more so770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4bljJVMrn
than I was expecting, with an uneven pair of glasses barely hanging from his slightly770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoukk6BqwJk
twirled nose and a long set of grey hair cascading, knot after knot, from the top of his770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QvSA1yeHY
head. Several pieces of mismatched armour were strapped to his tall if a bit hunched,770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRVQltZiyM
body. They had been collected over a long period of time and from all kinds of sources.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9rjqC1OPd
His right hand held a solid piece of armament; he tried to disguise it as a walking stick,770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZTUGwAwud
but it was most definitely a good weapon. A haversack hung from his other shoulder,770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPiI5zuK5b
it was half open and mostly filled with all sorts of plants and a few samples of fungi.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRzpgzc2E7
Then I noticed behind him followed a beast of burden; great of size and with quite770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5FIbQZABk
the relaxed jaw hanging under its corpulent nose. And if all the satchels covering its770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiLE5myEP3
blue and green skin were not enough to define its purpose, its mellow eyes surely did770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9pGtNku0r
the trick. Also, between its massive shoulders and the middle of its curved back, rested770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8cOB7Ch9u
a large, purple saddle. One that was just big enough for two.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9qQXdmwgS
“I was waiting for you,” I steadily revealed to him.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqo5uLV7QE6
“It would certainly seem that way.” The old man replied quite unpreoccupied,770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGHg2zKFcv
“Please tell me then, how is it that I am fated to find a little one such as yourself out770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgY59UxUpb
here, in the middle of these woods?” He asked as he began tying that beast to the770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fCgbwuUTI
nearest tree.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bxsOrhuhq
“I just said,” I repeated without taking my eyes from all the papers I was holding,770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklPbe7OUgu
“that I came here to wait for you.”770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfETwE5sI7T
“Quite right.” He stared at me for a moment, and then finally wetted his boots as he770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDumXTp3YbI
ventured into that running water to make his approach. He did so slowly and carefully,770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsbb4eBufw
as to not frighten me, which caused me to smile in appreciation. All the dirt and rips770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zy1prajus
in my mostly white clothes easily conveying to him that I had gone through quite a770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRny0r0fAvV
lot recently.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HEPLLUv08
“It’s alright. You can come closer.” I told him unabashedly.770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuygKDyTxEe
“Oh, were you writing?” He was quick to notice when close enough, “And at such a770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpg52jNslqR
young age as well. Remarkable.” He then quickly followed that with a high opinion of770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHG2mtVlgR
my scattered drawings, before picking one up: “And what about these? Did you draw770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA50w35SRZ
all of them as well?”770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x4GTHAGum
“I did.”770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll2xGeVpsk
“I know this man...” The old man confessed, “and this woman as well.” He added as770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmldjyotYG
his eyes caught glimpse of another half-finished sketch. He picked up that one as well,770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVkpyvJv7l
and then held them close to each other ...770Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVsWkxjJli
“I know these people.” He insisted, without taking his eyes from those two pictures...
