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 children marveled at the life-extending rings in their hands. Once the stuff of legend, now something that is common.

The sickly children immediately put them on, while the rest placed them in hidden places for when they became twenty.

Theanore had come back with Esmer, and she gave a small mana fountain to Elmar.

"You won't be able to make many enchantments back-to-back," she warned. "And you will need another four-leaf clover for the fountain. But this version is the best I can do."

Elmar looked at the locket. He would only be able to place a single mana crystal inside. But it would still be enough, as he made enchantments that were level 9999 with a single crystal.

Then Theanore gave Elmar various enchanted trinkets. He had a grant time, enchanting and disenchanting the whole day. He found that if he worded his enchanting spell just right, he could warm the weather.
