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.

Theanore woke up in the morning and quickly went to the watering hole to wash up.

She liked the soap her father had brought her. Now she smelled of flowers after she washed, and the fireflies liked her better.

After the bath, Theanore washed her clothes too, and she put on a nice creamy dress with white lace at the edges of the skirt.

She really liked frills and lace, and so Crassus made sure to get her dresses that had them.

After she put on fresh socks and her leather shoes, Theanore went to the worker elf tunnel to check if the elves needed anything.
