"Saudade (European Portuguese: [s?w?ðað?], Brazilian Portuguese: [saw?dadi] or [saw?dad?i], Galician: [saw?ðaðe]; plural saudades) is a deep emotional state of nostalgic or profound melancholic longing for an absent something or someone that one loves. Moreover, it often carries a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might never return. One English translation of the word is missingness. Stronger forms of saudade might be felt towards people and things whose whereabouts are unknown, such as a lost lover, or a family member who has gone missing, moved away, separated, or died. Saudade was once described as "the love that remains" after someone is gone." The world is a remnant of its former glory. In times long past, it had risen to a golden age of hero and myth, as humanity valiantly waged a war against demonkind until they were beaten back to the very edges of existence. This was not without cost, however, and soon both sides were echoes of their former selves.One such echo takes the form of a girl, as she feverishly chases the trail of her disappeared heroic ancestor to little result. This trail leads her to a windy, lonely mountain on the outskirts of the realm of humanity, where she is met by a strange young man who is, no matter how frayed by time the thread is, tied to her family. As he is her last hope of achieving her dream, she has only one option, whether they like it or not—Drag him along for the ride, no matter where it might take them.
