Prologue
I have already learned the true nature of this world; every single language spoken by694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnK8WDUE7gj
all the miscreated, bid farewell to all those that I ever met, and just finished predicting694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu8ySrwXa9
most outcomes - not bad for someone born only a day ago.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkz0d0UQpyu
And now I must wait here for him, atop such a generous outcrop of stone; one so694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNhOYSAW4c
easily protruding from the most graceful display of running water. A creek, I think it694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbvkIsAlUj
is called, that much like me, seems to always be running but never getting anywhere.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXVPTJDyia
I cannot think of a better example of the flow of time and design working perfectly694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww3B8TQnS5
in tandem. Yet another sample of what can be expected in this world above, I suppose694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FcUkagyG3
and hope; an example that for so long has dared to cross these woods that the one694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQHmGLnkiu
I am waiting for, sometimes calls his own.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFIzSSyNvc
He should be here any moment now; my inherited memories keep assuring me694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM8sZJytPq
that he comes by this exact spot every day to make his crossing, and today will be no694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYFfjePx6n
exception. He will come. He will come and he will find me; he will find me, and he694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEb6lf2lUX
will say:694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY4bTGvw2E
“And who might you be?”694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zk8IUXlnZ
After I turned around, I was greeted with a weird-looking old figure, much more so694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVJVeANeAZ
than I was expecting, with an uneven pair of glasses barely hanging from his slightly694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjjSRUwOde
twirled nose and a long set of grey hair cascading, knot after knot, from the top of his694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3fB5JTOTq
head. Several pieces of mismatched armour were strapped to his tall if a bit hunched,694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaQu6K5nUf
body. They had been collected over a long period of time and from all kinds of sources.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzUA7rE1oE
His right hand held a solid piece of armament; he tried to disguise it as a walking stick,694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZbtncUbrM
but it was most definitely a good weapon. A haversack hung from his other shoulder,694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3pQdSKdwO
it was half open and mostly filled with all sorts of plants and a few samples of fungi.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm74LfffmGT
Then I noticed behind him followed a beast of burden; great of size and with quite694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmxn0m0drT
the relaxed jaw hanging under its corpulent nose. And if all the satchels covering its694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz9gyKlNdx
blue and green skin were not enough to define its purpose, its mellow eyes surely did694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxWUO1H5Z0
the trick. Also, between its massive shoulders and the middle of its curved back, rested694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80k8usUSN4
a large, purple saddle. One that was just big enough for two.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16BUMdpwiF
“I was waiting for you,” I steadily revealed to him.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucuJiScVPO
“It would certainly seem that way.” The old man replied quite unpreoccupied,694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9e7V0oEg5
“Please tell me then, how is it that I am fated to find a little one such as yourself out694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNpIe32jZA
here, in the middle of these woods?” He asked as he began tying that beast to the694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG6fSFjEyy
nearest tree.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzYhd3tqUN
“I just said,” I repeated without taking my eyes from all the papers I was holding,694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLl1dbVBG5L
“that I came here to wait for you.”694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8kMkTUIJw
“Quite right.” He stared at me for a moment, and then finally wetted his boots as he694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR2XNu8b0C
ventured into that running water to make his approach. He did so slowly and carefully,694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm281lEhCOe
as to not frighten me, which caused me to smile in appreciation. All the dirt and rips694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrGsAXCurf
in my mostly white clothes easily conveying to him that I had gone through quite a694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ061Bi2wd9H
lot recently.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqULdbnBEL
“It’s alright. You can come closer.” I told him unabashedly.694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFlrzOmJuc
“Oh, were you writing?” He was quick to notice when close enough, “And at such a694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwFgDZZnkM
young age as well. Remarkable.” He then quickly followed that with a high opinion of694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80kDydABKU
my scattered drawings, before picking one up: “And what about these? Did you draw694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66SKF0Hhri
all of them as well?”694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrOtsTu2lz
“I did.”694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO917Z6O7y
“I know this man...” The old man confessed, “and this woman as well.” He added as694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3G2qwfj2d
his eyes caught glimpse of another half-finished sketch. He picked up that one as well,694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwut5i5Mhh
and then held them close to each other ...694Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQRMewulNI
“I know these people.” He insisted, without taking his eyes from those two pictures...
