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)

The auction was made in the Mirstone theater. The adventurers had gotten the money together to rent it for the event. They paid five gold coins each and announced it in the paper.

On the day of the big event, many came from far and wide. Even grandpa Thinker was there, as he declined to take one of the clovers as a gift from the children.

Lena, Jasper and Lysandrus all were in the audience, even if their chances looked grim.

Larriel had been busy organizing the whole event with Brandon, and they barely had a chance to speak the way Larriel wanted.

But she found many things about the man!

He had a murder muffin for a pet. Owning dungeon monsters was illegal, but Brandon had it since it was a kitten, and he kept it hidden. He also liked pink, which made Larriel dress in pink for the whole time they were together.
