Prologue
I have already learned the true nature of this world; every single language spoken by583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGLOw4xokk
all the miscreated, bid farewell to all those that I ever met, and just finished predicting583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4RAGipuVA
most outcomes - not bad for someone born only a day ago.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gCMuyFCpg
And now I must wait here for him, atop such a generous outcrop of stone; one so583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDnpK2bS0p
easily protruding from the most graceful display of running water. A creek, I think it583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWc82LzqUU
is called, that much like me, seems to always be running but never getting anywhere.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFEMvbkeMj
I cannot think of a better example of the flow of time and design working perfectly583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxpLAf8nbP
in tandem. Yet another sample of what can be expected in this world above, I suppose583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvS2yHyROmV
and hope; an example that for so long has dared to cross these woods that the one583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypQQXUwyEr
I am waiting for, sometimes calls his own.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TxI0c3dQg
He should be here any moment now; my inherited memories keep assuring me583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1GEaPknyp
that he comes by this exact spot every day to make his crossing, and today will be no583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMtCygVEJs
exception. He will come. He will come and he will find me; he will find me, and he583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd08KgQTyz
will say:583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpzrFcbNrd
“And who might you be?”583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGd5HzVdZ8
After I turned around, I was greeted with a weird-looking old figure, much more so583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyowEOtLH73
than I was expecting, with an uneven pair of glasses barely hanging from his slightly583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqOUffWmZ9
twirled nose and a long set of grey hair cascading, knot after knot, from the top of his583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Yo9X2lxYR
head. Several pieces of mismatched armour were strapped to his tall if a bit hunched,583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrO8eHlTFj
body. They had been collected over a long period of time and from all kinds of sources.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrhTtbEkSY
His right hand held a solid piece of armament; he tried to disguise it as a walking stick,583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe8hRHXnv7
but it was most definitely a good weapon. A haversack hung from his other shoulder,583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJhvFCQywz
it was half open and mostly filled with all sorts of plants and a few samples of fungi.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb2uOnsXGu
Then I noticed behind him followed a beast of burden; great of size and with quite583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2GrtYtATZ
the relaxed jaw hanging under its corpulent nose. And if all the satchels covering its583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2myvIBIf7
blue and green skin were not enough to define its purpose, its mellow eyes surely did583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUmjSBbWmK
the trick. Also, between its massive shoulders and the middle of its curved back, rested583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKEtmBgl2D
a large, purple saddle. One that was just big enough for two.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38KxtVp7o8
“I was waiting for you,” I steadily revealed to him.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYfpfQq1GF
“It would certainly seem that way.” The old man replied quite unpreoccupied,583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoLpqKGVBg
“Please tell me then, how is it that I am fated to find a little one such as yourself out583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MgCjmGA4N
here, in the middle of these woods?” He asked as he began tying that beast to the583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQyomzADXN
nearest tree.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WmiNmlN2u
“I just said,” I repeated without taking my eyes from all the papers I was holding,583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUot7SwMWs
“that I came here to wait for you.”583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0u0Wly3rj
“Quite right.” He stared at me for a moment, and then finally wetted his boots as he583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2grB9GehrO
ventured into that running water to make his approach. He did so slowly and carefully,583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzn3PhjwZu
as to not frighten me, which caused me to smile in appreciation. All the dirt and rips583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SNDzPM8rL
in my mostly white clothes easily conveying to him that I had gone through quite a583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YV36lXVuX
lot recently.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMZc8XBTgo
“It’s alright. You can come closer.” I told him unabashedly.583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv72Vj8rFqy
“Oh, were you writing?” He was quick to notice when close enough, “And at such a583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JKyujXwX8
young age as well. Remarkable.” He then quickly followed that with a high opinion of583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOEpNRMYLu
my scattered drawings, before picking one up: “And what about these? Did you draw583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5YcdPOo7W
all of them as well?”583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYYOwbY87d
“I did.”583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGZswwJGCe
“I know this man...” The old man confessed, “and this woman as well.” He added as583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUPJlihRpe
his eyes caught glimpse of another half-finished sketch. He picked up that one as well,583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlSpQAJ3Rd
and then held them close to each other ...583Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoOyb1zOtw
“I know these people.” He insisted, without taking his eyes from those two pictures...
