A merchant stumbles on a grotto, lost. He eats his last apple. The merchant plants the seeds the next day to provide food for future lost travelers. 

And so, the nymph Theanore is born.

She would grow from a tiny seed to a splendid apple tree. She would meet many friends. Theanore will try her hand at being a merchant like her father. And she will get to know her lifetime companion, the merman Marinus.

But as every farmer can tell you, apple trees live only for about 150 years and so, with her tree dried up, so will Theanore die.

 But before that, she will live.

The Apple Grotto Nymph (Dungeon Core Fairy Tale)

As the green fire died down, there was something green glistening among the embers. Theanore went to see it, worrying that Bellchime hadn't burned, and she would have to renew her pyre.

Instead of the body of the fairy, there was a green jewel in the fire. It shone with a brilliant green light.

"System, what is this?" Theanore asked. She didn't trust the system, not anymore. But so far, the system had only withheld information from her twice.

There was a chance it wouldn't lie to her.

Condensed fairy heart. The most expensive item for enchantments. The enchantment that can be put on it is level 9999 on Wizard Odious' scale.

She really needed to go check out chapter 17. But Bellchime deserved something better than for her heart to be turned into an enchanted item.
