Soul Trees

         In the begining of the world we knew as Liften, there was a single seed and it was waiting. To understand what it was waiting for, we must go back before time was time.

         In the heavens there were gods that governed the elements and represented what they were. Each god had his and her own Afinnities. Wether that Afinnitiy was to make the wind blow or to keep the earth stable. They all had someting to do that kept them busy and away from one another.

         Untill one god got restless

         Lotus, the god of flowers, lived in her glistening gardens of waterlillies and roses. Lotus loved these flowers so much but they werent enough. Lotus wanted more. One day Lotus stole the blue from Barena's, the god of fire and destruction, purple flame to add more color to her gardens. Leaving it a deep red. Barena, furious that the beauty of her flame was sacrificed for such a thing as a flower, went to Lotus and threatened to burn her gardens if the blue was not returned to her flame by midnight the next night. Lotus went to work quickly collecting all of the blue she could find in her gardens. She put the blue in a basket and placed the basket on her favorite patch of flowers. Over night the blue seeped from the basket into the roots of the Lentilia plant Lotus so enjoyed. Barena collected the basket and put the blue back into her flame only to find that the flame glowed blue when hot enough. Barena thought this was because the flame had been altered so she was simply pleased to have the blue back.

         Lotus awoke the next morning to find that the roots and lower stems of her Lentilia plant were blue. the blue was not noticeable unless the flower was looked at from the ground. So Lotus was happy to have the blue remain in her garden.

         Lotus, so happy about her garden, went to give some of her plants to the gods of Earth and Air. The god of earth was the first she went to visit. Erinthi, who cherished her earth dearly, was a good friend of Lotus. Erinthi was the one whom gave Lotus the earth her plants survive in.
