There was once a spirit that was born with no sign of life surrounding it. It had nothing on itself from the top of its branches to the roots on the bottom. It had no friends; it lived under a dull, gloomy sky. These were reflections of The Lonely Spirit's previous life as a human back in the overworld.
One day, The Creator came and looked over at The Lonely Spirit. They felt how alone it felt when they touched its trunk and heard its cries from inside, so they decided to change The Lonely Spirit's life. The Creator started creating life on The Lonely Spirit's body from top to bottom. Then, they made life surrounding it. He made the beauty of the night sky with a touch of flying fireballs passing by for The Lonely Spirit to view in awe. Lastly, he created little flying friends for The Lonely Spirit.
"Why all this?" The Lonely Spirit asked.
"These are gifts I made for you. You deserve all the love you need," The Creator replied. His smile was warm to The Lonely Spirit.
The Lonely Spirit no longer felt alone. It became The Afterlife Tree. One of the little flying friends came up to it.
"You are no longer alone," said the little flying friend.
"Thank you."
