Prologue
I have already learned the true nature of this world; every single language spoken by621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5W01asOYo
all the miscreated, bid farewell to all those that I ever met, and just finished predicting621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpmPpP84NA
most outcomes - not bad for someone born only a day ago.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSYWWIjaeT
And now I must wait here for him, atop such a generous outcrop of stone; one so621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1GBRZOlV7
easily protruding from the most graceful display of running water. A creek, I think it621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIFAksYSNv
is called, that much like me, seems to always be running but never getting anywhere.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSC1mZaosD
I cannot think of a better example of the flow of time and design working perfectly621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt4LJ9pvQJ
in tandem. Yet another sample of what can be expected in this world above, I suppose621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMS03uoDotb
and hope; an example that for so long has dared to cross these woods that the one621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDN3WiGMX4
I am waiting for, sometimes calls his own.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEO5HS1azf
He should be here any moment now; my inherited memories keep assuring me621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡludZT9eIKg
that he comes by this exact spot every day to make his crossing, and today will be no621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEWtcMO12Z
exception. He will come. He will come and he will find me; he will find me, and he621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFCvswMmDz
will say:621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFpTXcM1Yg
“And who might you be?”621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNX6fn7seA
After I turned around, I was greeted with a weird-looking old figure, much more so621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrzt3GbFdp
than I was expecting, with an uneven pair of glasses barely hanging from his slightly621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1oYXy0Kis
twirled nose and a long set of grey hair cascading, knot after knot, from the top of his621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNn6GaTeHjZ
head. Several pieces of mismatched armour were strapped to his tall if a bit hunched,621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy4bb9E7j5
body. They had been collected over a long period of time and from all kinds of sources.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHtx7bcmw4
His right hand held a solid piece of armament; he tried to disguise it as a walking stick,621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyz9Stsmwz
but it was most definitely a good weapon. A haversack hung from his other shoulder,621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ26gX1Wq09
it was half open and mostly filled with all sorts of plants and a few samples of fungi.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZph5yWopGh
Then I noticed behind him followed a beast of burden; great of size and with quite621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqmsyPNvAH
the relaxed jaw hanging under its corpulent nose. And if all the satchels covering its621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4iTD7V3GX
blue and green skin were not enough to define its purpose, its mellow eyes surely did621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Lit4tZp8z
the trick. Also, between its massive shoulders and the middle of its curved back, rested621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR7KHTLL4W
a large, purple saddle. One that was just big enough for two.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJoV5ErVqG
“I was waiting for you,” I steadily revealed to him.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6BgZaH60e
“It would certainly seem that way.” The old man replied quite unpreoccupied,621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6eTJxY4Or
“Please tell me then, how is it that I am fated to find a little one such as yourself out621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMPznrlFCo
here, in the middle of these woods?” He asked as he began tying that beast to the621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT6McQ6eg3
nearest tree.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42mUim2ku4
“I just said,” I repeated without taking my eyes from all the papers I was holding,621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxFzmNIGaC
“that I came here to wait for you.”621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA40dgIXgt
“Quite right.” He stared at me for a moment, and then finally wetted his boots as he621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUbxRtUXeF
ventured into that running water to make his approach. He did so slowly and carefully,621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzsdG7LgV0
as to not frighten me, which caused me to smile in appreciation. All the dirt and rips621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDFYVvOv0E
in my mostly white clothes easily conveying to him that I had gone through quite a621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKmPsLwg9V
lot recently.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipK89FN0hO
“It’s alright. You can come closer.” I told him unabashedly.621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7GwxX7Jlb
“Oh, were you writing?” He was quick to notice when close enough, “And at such a621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2Iv8UJcnd
young age as well. Remarkable.” He then quickly followed that with a high opinion of621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxKhstYl2p
my scattered drawings, before picking one up: “And what about these? Did you draw621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5329d78Ar
all of them as well?”621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVx7lJmBTJ
“I did.”621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpN9iNDgmKo
“I know this man...” The old man confessed, “and this woman as well.” He added as621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUcJ4tkGAo
his eyes caught glimpse of another half-finished sketch. He picked up that one as well,621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx83yUtGZ4K
and then held them close to each other ...621Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFhkQkRu0D
“I know these people.” He insisted, without taking his eyes from those two pictures...
