About the First Tree

In the beginning, there was nothing — only the Sun and the wind. When the Earth furrowed its brow, Skal appeared: a cheerful and kind stone who received a gift from the Sun — a flower named Aurelia. But the sun’s heat dried the land, and the little flower needed water. Skal set off in search of a cloud but encountered the Ice Mountains and Dune, who threatened his flower. Eventually, he reached a mountain where streams of water trickled down. Rosa fell in love with Skal and saved his little flower. Their love gave birth to the first mountain range, and on its slopes grew the first tree. The wind carried its seeds across the wide world, and thus the land as we know it today came to be. Trees now grow everywhere — except in the icy highlands and arid deserts.
