【Beginning】
Since she became aware, Urd had followed her father through his drift in the realm of Humans, far from their home. Urd, held her younger sister’s hand as she walked behind her father, who was still carrying his swaddling clothes. They wandered in the war-ravaged realm. Little Urd asked her father the reason of their travels. He patted her head:
- Father: Because your father does not want to be numb.
- Father: And they want me to understand,
- : so they exiled me and let me experience this realm in person.
Listening to her father, Urd only nodded. At the time, she was still familiarizing with the changes. Urd was stupefied by the life in heaven. Therefore, all in the realm of Humans interested her. She felt intrigued but did not have the courage to leave her father’s side.
- Father: Don’t be afraid. Relax and learn. From now on, we are staying in this realm.
Every time they passed a place, Urd’s father would tell her its history, as if he had deep feeling towards every inch of the land. However, no matter how nice they were treated, her father never planned to stay. Urd once wondered: if they did so reluctantly, why did they have to leave at all, rather than staying at a place.
- Father: No, we cannot settle. This is my punishment.
- : But, father, why do you have to punish yourself?
Hearing her words of caring, her father hugged Urd for her and expressed sentiments she, as a child, could not understand:
- Father: You are right, my little princess. You have looked right through me...
- Father: Because I remained non-interventionist, my heart now aches.
- Father: But if I try hard now, not only can I not help but rather, I would spread pain...
Urd looked after her sisters along with her father. Witnessing her father’s intentional distancing from all, Urd subconsciously imitated him. However, Urd was not hiding from anything, but instead, aimed to gain knowledge in an objective manner; this way, she could understand what the world was to her father.
Even though their roaming was aimless, Urd proceeded with her father, gradually away from war zones.
