The Royal Tree

The unknown

In a small village nestled in the rolling hills of Scotland, a mysterious stranger named Eira arrived on a misty night, carrying a worn leather satchel and a gaze that seemed to hold a thousand secrets.

Suddenly she saw a light coming from a leaf.
The light grew brighter, illuminating intricate patterns on the leaf's surface, and Eira felt an inexplicable pull to touch it, as if the leaf was beckoning her towards a hidden world within its delicate veins.

But the leaf vanished.

Eira was left standing there, wondering if she had imagined the whole thing, until she felt a gentle rustling in her hair, and a soft whisper seemed to caress her ear, saying, "The leaf was just a messenger, the real magic is within you."
"Dear Eira I am here to take you where you belong ". You are the princess of the royal green City.

As soon as the words were spoken, the air around Eira shimmered and a magnificent carriage made of twisted vines and glittering emeralds materialized before her, its doors swinging open to reveal a plush interior adorned with soft moss and shimmering silver leaves, and a gentle voice whispered, "Come, Princess, the Royal Green City awaits your return."

"You are the child of prophecy " . "The long lost princess "

The words echoed through the air as a regal figure, cloaked in a mantle of leaves and vines, stepped forward from the carriage, their eyes shining with a deep wisdom and ancient knowledge, and said, "Eira, daughter of the Earth Queen and the Sky King, you have been hidden away for protection, but now the time has come to reclaim your rightful place on the throne and wield the power of the elements to save our world from darkness."

"How can I be ?" and she added " I am just a peasant."

The regal figure smiled, and with a gentle gesture, revealed a birthmark on Eira's hand, shaped like a sprouting seedling, and said, "This mark was given to you at birth, a symbol of your royal lineage and the key to unlocking your true potential, for you are not just a peasant, but a descendant of the ancient ones, born to bring balance and harmony to our world."

"Huh????? Is it really true that means the dreams I had living in a tree castle is true???"

The regal figure nodded, and with a wave of their hand, a vision began to unfold before Eira's eyes, showing her the tree castle from her dreams, its branches reaching towards the sky, its roots digging deep into the earth, and a voice whispered, "The Tree of Life, the heart of our kingdom, where you were born, and where your destiny awaits, the dreams were memories, echoes of a past life, calling you back to your true home."

"This place seems so familiar"

As Eira stepped into the Tree of Life, its ancient energy enveloped her, and memories long forgotten began to resurface, like the scent of blossoming flowers and the soft glow of luminescent mushrooms, and she felt an inexplicable sense of belonging, as if her very soul had finally found its way back to a place it had always known, and a soft whisper echoed in her mind, "Welcome home, Eira, daughter of the Tree, your roots run deep here."
