Prologue
I have already learned the true nature of this world; every single language spoken by654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMuRSvY37K
all the miscreated, bid farewell to all those that I ever met, and just finished predicting654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTIXESbms6
most outcomes - not bad for someone born only a day ago.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgBgSkucsn
And now I must wait here for him, atop such a generous outcrop of stone; one so654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHyzd8wbWe
easily protruding from the most graceful display of running water. A creek, I think it654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrk5KE9JzPT
is called, that much like me, seems to always be running but never getting anywhere.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtYHkcgnme
I cannot think of a better example of the flow of time and design working perfectly654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdL1DbE4YB
in tandem. Yet another sample of what can be expected in this world above, I suppose654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiDquiW5uh
and hope; an example that for so long has dared to cross these woods that the one654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSV3GuJpQW
I am waiting for, sometimes calls his own.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLhfQS09S7
He should be here any moment now; my inherited memories keep assuring me654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1tdjeDPYj
that he comes by this exact spot every day to make his crossing, and today will be no654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIFaMmKDLu
exception. He will come. He will come and he will find me; he will find me, and he654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7Qt3P7dAm
will say:654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFlfQaiOpP
“And who might you be?”654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyczqx6WSJ
After I turned around, I was greeted with a weird-looking old figure, much more so654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK8ISjWFEI
than I was expecting, with an uneven pair of glasses barely hanging from his slightly654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYZeOrImEQ
twirled nose and a long set of grey hair cascading, knot after knot, from the top of his654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp78xdSfSWn
head. Several pieces of mismatched armour were strapped to his tall if a bit hunched,654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbWAWwkW1m
body. They had been collected over a long period of time and from all kinds of sources.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr1gxvU9Ob
His right hand held a solid piece of armament; he tried to disguise it as a walking stick,654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnxXv2Rp4k
but it was most definitely a good weapon. A haversack hung from his other shoulder,654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNk7r54Bmc
it was half open and mostly filled with all sorts of plants and a few samples of fungi.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSzTqmjCg3
Then I noticed behind him followed a beast of burden; great of size and with quite654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYGjaQUuF1
the relaxed jaw hanging under its corpulent nose. And if all the satchels covering its654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUoPNp81rN
blue and green skin were not enough to define its purpose, its mellow eyes surely did654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9sBgd1DeJ
the trick. Also, between its massive shoulders and the middle of its curved back, rested654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWyFzo8XUN
a large, purple saddle. One that was just big enough for two.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmQSk2gcvK
“I was waiting for you,” I steadily revealed to him.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhu9anRX97H
“It would certainly seem that way.” The old man replied quite unpreoccupied,654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc35WvIXgqg
“Please tell me then, how is it that I am fated to find a little one such as yourself out654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5rnp7t8LT
here, in the middle of these woods?” He asked as he began tying that beast to the654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9Bwb2ih48
nearest tree.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUkaI66Wh7
“I just said,” I repeated without taking my eyes from all the papers I was holding,654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGBn3oSWFE
“that I came here to wait for you.”654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF014TRBb8
“Quite right.” He stared at me for a moment, and then finally wetted his boots as he654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5k5dzfu7L
ventured into that running water to make his approach. He did so slowly and carefully,654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVYsP7HhA8
as to not frighten me, which caused me to smile in appreciation. All the dirt and rips654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuPxqKfE8e
in my mostly white clothes easily conveying to him that I had gone through quite a654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7KiC70TdE
lot recently.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnihg3FQ5sJ
“It’s alright. You can come closer.” I told him unabashedly.654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXuegO17YJ
“Oh, were you writing?” He was quick to notice when close enough, “And at such a654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgwVVRxATt
young age as well. Remarkable.” He then quickly followed that with a high opinion of654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICgn5GslPO
my scattered drawings, before picking one up: “And what about these? Did you draw654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEreLtdLbxh
all of them as well?”654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJBJSVq8Go
“I did.”654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXTuyc9bny
“I know this man...” The old man confessed, “and this woman as well.” He added as654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6f7lrSnBM
his eyes caught glimpse of another half-finished sketch. He picked up that one as well,654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOkdRfBGr9
and then held them close to each other ...654Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKWRdc9Mtf
“I know these people.” He insisted, without taking his eyes from those two pictures...
