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.

Luca regarded the older boy before him.

They have been trying to disenchant the life-extending ring for a little while now, but they haven't made any progress. And suddenly this Elmar, who was thought disenchanting and enchanting two days ago, wanted to help?

"Are you sure you know what you are doing?" Luca asked. The ring was not in his hands, it was in Theanore's.

She was notorious for being too trusting. He feared she would hand the ring over without even making the boy prove himself.

"It is simple. You have to feel the enchantment in your bones before you can learn it. What does a life-extending ring want? For one to feel alive! I have never felt more alive than I do now! I won't botch it up!" Elmar said as he reached out with his hand towards Theanore.
