Prologue
I have already learned the true nature of this world; every single language spoken by602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveyxPn5nUe
all the miscreated, bid farewell to all those that I ever met, and just finished predicting602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7QHR33rFY
most outcomes - not bad for someone born only a day ago.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNm6orN3Fk
And now I must wait here for him, atop such a generous outcrop of stone; one so602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6PmRDh1Qy
easily protruding from the most graceful display of running water. A creek, I think it602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK315voL8y
is called, that much like me, seems to always be running but never getting anywhere.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ11JdEKQU2
I cannot think of a better example of the flow of time and design working perfectly602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm8glz8AeY
in tandem. Yet another sample of what can be expected in this world above, I suppose602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF6Mxjb4bp
and hope; an example that for so long has dared to cross these woods that the one602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxcM1RVXsT
I am waiting for, sometimes calls his own.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt07F31K49t
He should be here any moment now; my inherited memories keep assuring me602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO3rZDNYBE
that he comes by this exact spot every day to make his crossing, and today will be no602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7ZM3blzGi
exception. He will come. He will come and he will find me; he will find me, and he602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWzGhHLt1P
will say:602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklWfUDpgQ3
“And who might you be?”602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNyOyQaWs3
After I turned around, I was greeted with a weird-looking old figure, much more so602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSefMEyMiT
than I was expecting, with an uneven pair of glasses barely hanging from his slightly602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQH3uzR6sXo
twirled nose and a long set of grey hair cascading, knot after knot, from the top of his602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpAZEAdthf
head. Several pieces of mismatched armour were strapped to his tall if a bit hunched,602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSH9o2l9JI
body. They had been collected over a long period of time and from all kinds of sources.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPrBR6hUOw
His right hand held a solid piece of armament; he tried to disguise it as a walking stick,602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUkdO0ZVQ0
but it was most definitely a good weapon. A haversack hung from his other shoulder,602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhpuCHJnr6
it was half open and mostly filled with all sorts of plants and a few samples of fungi.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsi884llgRk
Then I noticed behind him followed a beast of burden; great of size and with quite602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJmmvvixOz
the relaxed jaw hanging under its corpulent nose. And if all the satchels covering its602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYenG6PlLe
blue and green skin were not enough to define its purpose, its mellow eyes surely did602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHupdTsmUP
the trick. Also, between its massive shoulders and the middle of its curved back, rested602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUSnyQErDa
a large, purple saddle. One that was just big enough for two.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpwKR3W8TY
“I was waiting for you,” I steadily revealed to him.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMa78homVq
“It would certainly seem that way.” The old man replied quite unpreoccupied,602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcKkmegpHm
“Please tell me then, how is it that I am fated to find a little one such as yourself out602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcwsJG4C6S
here, in the middle of these woods?” He asked as he began tying that beast to the602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyx7GgHXDC
nearest tree.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqF2qxhVXp
“I just said,” I repeated without taking my eyes from all the papers I was holding,602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatr69U1Tym
“that I came here to wait for you.”602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZtfHvUweQ
“Quite right.” He stared at me for a moment, and then finally wetted his boots as he602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNULWuS5Hq
ventured into that running water to make his approach. He did so slowly and carefully,602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeKss1Ncco
as to not frighten me, which caused me to smile in appreciation. All the dirt and rips602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1NDMlyqOv
in my mostly white clothes easily conveying to him that I had gone through quite a602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTozlhaJLj
lot recently.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGKukTbRCG
“It’s alright. You can come closer.” I told him unabashedly.602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzDs9AminB
“Oh, were you writing?” He was quick to notice when close enough, “And at such a602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMQgpjCcJE
young age as well. Remarkable.” He then quickly followed that with a high opinion of602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQ61dTfqZ8
my scattered drawings, before picking one up: “And what about these? Did you draw602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxAb1fFTys
all of them as well?”602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgapB43BSf2
“I did.”602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFTAkdQK3c
“I know this man...” The old man confessed, “and this woman as well.” He added as602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFnwBoHzML
his eyes caught glimpse of another half-finished sketch. He picked up that one as well,602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkai9KkW5Kp
and then held them close to each other ...602Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wh4Sm10fc
“I know these people.” He insisted, without taking his eyes from those two pictures...
