Prologue
I have already learned the true nature of this world; every single language spoken by725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFznY1MMv7S
all the miscreated, bid farewell to all those that I ever met, and just finished predicting725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hyOejbDGS
most outcomes - not bad for someone born only a day ago.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwn0dCa6R9
And now I must wait here for him, atop such a generous outcrop of stone; one so725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPttpzy0luJ
easily protruding from the most graceful display of running water. A creek, I think it725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h3uHBt85d
is called, that much like me, seems to always be running but never getting anywhere.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQri4rPLKz3
I cannot think of a better example of the flow of time and design working perfectly725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5C6lbgqnS
in tandem. Yet another sample of what can be expected in this world above, I suppose725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttLjX5Qg4o
and hope; an example that for so long has dared to cross these woods that the one725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFXnEowv0a
I am waiting for, sometimes calls his own.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXEPJkrZLH
He should be here any moment now; my inherited memories keep assuring me725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNWbV0ajsO
that he comes by this exact spot every day to make his crossing, and today will be no725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxySb9jdpb
exception. He will come. He will come and he will find me; he will find me, and he725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRmr7hgYPi
will say:725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2Ws32QRS7
“And who might you be?”725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZGMbL4zWw
After I turned around, I was greeted with a weird-looking old figure, much more so725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU78FD5Y3qT
than I was expecting, with an uneven pair of glasses barely hanging from his slightly725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNB29vhTP3
twirled nose and a long set of grey hair cascading, knot after knot, from the top of his725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38OeMnBqtJ
head. Several pieces of mismatched armour were strapped to his tall if a bit hunched,725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhNKuHWSeq
body. They had been collected over a long period of time and from all kinds of sources.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rKTHlaEX2
His right hand held a solid piece of armament; he tried to disguise it as a walking stick,725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPOGjlDAGq
but it was most definitely a good weapon. A haversack hung from his other shoulder,725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VLnW2L99K
it was half open and mostly filled with all sorts of plants and a few samples of fungi.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnCk1x1JOP
Then I noticed behind him followed a beast of burden; great of size and with quite725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvxY9vH1gK
the relaxed jaw hanging under its corpulent nose. And if all the satchels covering its725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVMfh1Pf9M
blue and green skin were not enough to define its purpose, its mellow eyes surely did725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xZIhPGA34
the trick. Also, between its massive shoulders and the middle of its curved back, rested725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHnIFGwYcy
a large, purple saddle. One that was just big enough for two.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZG5lnTNUA
“I was waiting for you,” I steadily revealed to him.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLccLeEO9D
“It would certainly seem that way.” The old man replied quite unpreoccupied,725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAejImPBzd
“Please tell me then, how is it that I am fated to find a little one such as yourself out725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrjL3zruwp
here, in the middle of these woods?” He asked as he began tying that beast to the725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ11acQK6eV
nearest tree.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEvqHzNUwY
“I just said,” I repeated without taking my eyes from all the papers I was holding,725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pxjE5O1yD
“that I came here to wait for you.”725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0B9ECO4wO
“Quite right.” He stared at me for a moment, and then finally wetted his boots as he725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPXNeDiXnW
ventured into that running water to make his approach. He did so slowly and carefully,725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyHTbfox91
as to not frighten me, which caused me to smile in appreciation. All the dirt and rips725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNg8XKoEIa
in my mostly white clothes easily conveying to him that I had gone through quite a725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjksU9OQBZd
lot recently.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKRxtUtYfW
“It’s alright. You can come closer.” I told him unabashedly.725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwldrKpIfX3
“Oh, were you writing?” He was quick to notice when close enough, “And at such a725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05gT0fSlrL
young age as well. Remarkable.” He then quickly followed that with a high opinion of725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1nR7GmZ1M
my scattered drawings, before picking one up: “And what about these? Did you draw725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMIzNJ7cdm
all of them as well?”725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttPDwTMujW
“I did.”725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUYOLtuTqp
“I know this man...” The old man confessed, “and this woman as well.” He added as725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAo5pCfr7R
his eyes caught glimpse of another half-finished sketch. He picked up that one as well,725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE2vKdkzR2
and then held them close to each other ...725Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAj19dPS51
“I know these people.” He insisted, without taking his eyes from those two pictures...
