Suddenly Eighteen
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 115210
|
The girl sits up, stretching, cobwebs of sleep gradually falling from her mind, though in fifteen years one accumulates enough cobwebs that the world still seems almost blurry around her, her mind unable to focus. She vaguely notes that she feels much... longer than usual, and when she stands up the trees seem just a little bit shorter. She wanders aimlessly, her hair dragging on the forest floor behind her. As the hours pass, she slowly climbs to clarity, recalling her quest to find her father and her encounter with those beautiful women in this forest. And finally, she pieces together that she seems to have been asleep for a very, very long time. She stops by a stream to have a drink and just sit by the water, examining herself. She is completely naked, and though her movement today has shaken off much of the things that had been growing on her, she still is covered in a fine layer of filth and dust, and her skin is spotted with patches of moss. Most alarming, though also most beautiful, are the flowers and fine wisps of grass growing straight out of her skin in various places. She thinks she even feels grass growing amid the hair on her scalp.
