Prologue
I have already learned the true nature of this world; every single language spoken by622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfDZ4jd9z3
all the miscreated, bid farewell to all those that I ever met, and just finished predicting622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dtcG9cojV
most outcomes - not bad for someone born only a day ago.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHcOdznm3U
And now I must wait here for him, atop such a generous outcrop of stone; one so622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl4WrdocNM
easily protruding from the most graceful display of running water. A creek, I think it622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerRonNQQYB
is called, that much like me, seems to always be running but never getting anywhere.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziytZ7BpBL
I cannot think of a better example of the flow of time and design working perfectly622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYnoQi84Ap
in tandem. Yet another sample of what can be expected in this world above, I suppose622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDlGHAcuhq
and hope; an example that for so long has dared to cross these woods that the one622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQy9a8Il3U
I am waiting for, sometimes calls his own.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27cuiA9tga
He should be here any moment now; my inherited memories keep assuring me622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEqFvqcwcX
that he comes by this exact spot every day to make his crossing, and today will be no622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf01mruifDZ
exception. He will come. He will come and he will find me; he will find me, and he622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SjbDJCfV7
will say:622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6H0JYbTdx
“And who might you be?”622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulx61SqgFs
After I turned around, I was greeted with a weird-looking old figure, much more so622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYXIKK48rq
than I was expecting, with an uneven pair of glasses barely hanging from his slightly622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbE3ZLjeTJ
twirled nose and a long set of grey hair cascading, knot after knot, from the top of his622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Uw7ghcXvj
head. Several pieces of mismatched armour were strapped to his tall if a bit hunched,622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuG6gtvYLB
body. They had been collected over a long period of time and from all kinds of sources.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6D3PEUr9m
His right hand held a solid piece of armament; he tried to disguise it as a walking stick,622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2w9a1O50H7
but it was most definitely a good weapon. A haversack hung from his other shoulder,622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj5ZfUHYES
it was half open and mostly filled with all sorts of plants and a few samples of fungi.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYF93gLaKfz
Then I noticed behind him followed a beast of burden; great of size and with quite622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI3bpx3EV7
the relaxed jaw hanging under its corpulent nose. And if all the satchels covering its622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZq2Gmk1sVD
blue and green skin were not enough to define its purpose, its mellow eyes surely did622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc2lFRMYdb
the trick. Also, between its massive shoulders and the middle of its curved back, rested622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT37fwBJlL
a large, purple saddle. One that was just big enough for two.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGkuiBnIIA
“I was waiting for you,” I steadily revealed to him.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqJtdOjhil
“It would certainly seem that way.” The old man replied quite unpreoccupied,622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIW32btV12
“Please tell me then, how is it that I am fated to find a little one such as yourself out622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy7SeEAtkb
here, in the middle of these woods?” He asked as he began tying that beast to the622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6fIVntq2d
nearest tree.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1efgnonxID
“I just said,” I repeated without taking my eyes from all the papers I was holding,622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61NuT6U2fB
“that I came here to wait for you.”622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9w2796AGR
“Quite right.” He stared at me for a moment, and then finally wetted his boots as he622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhukZ6XhnqH
ventured into that running water to make his approach. He did so slowly and carefully,622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWYudbIXry
as to not frighten me, which caused me to smile in appreciation. All the dirt and rips622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVtXM0dakK
in my mostly white clothes easily conveying to him that I had gone through quite a622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6iAKzw2mr
lot recently.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1Xep7sMse
“It’s alright. You can come closer.” I told him unabashedly.622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMmzT1qGiQ
“Oh, were you writing?” He was quick to notice when close enough, “And at such a622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9pWFA9a8k
young age as well. Remarkable.” He then quickly followed that with a high opinion of622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89XMhO6plH
my scattered drawings, before picking one up: “And what about these? Did you draw622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6wSNDxvEO
all of them as well?”622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxEsrJFPo6
“I did.”622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhYi9jDwyB
“I know this man...” The old man confessed, “and this woman as well.” He added as622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiEOhiqOpX
his eyes caught glimpse of another half-finished sketch. He picked up that one as well,622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnufh7BqHxk
and then held them close to each other ...622Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pR4iBbXOa
“I know these people.” He insisted, without taking his eyes from those two pictures...
