A tree in pain, once so beautiful to admire but now withers like a decaying corpse. The land once so plentiful but now so rotten so ...toxicating. The land is poison now for the tree, all it wants is to be free, to see the beauty it once neglected for the tree is the cause of what happened to the land beneath it's roots at least that would be said if the land did not erode leaving the roots bare for the world to see.

So long ago it seemed when a tree so gorgeous to admire had turned the land into what it has become. The tree used to ignore the others finding no one as beautiful as itself, some grew jealous but other in anger yet all stood still awaiting the day the tree would get what it deserved.

Then one day a miracle happened, a tiny white rose was born within the world, it was innocent, a first of its kind upon the world. The white rose saw all kind of beauty surrounding it, as it was pretty as well. A day came though when the rose talked with the gorgeous tree wanting to be friends you see. Sadly... the tree looked down upon the tiny rose as scoffed "Friends i don't need especially from a disgusting weed like you"

To say the rose was upset was an understatement. A pain had grown from within the rose from the harsh words of the tree until the white rose was no more instead stood a black oozing rose one with thorns upon its stem. the pain like poison that the rose could not take, soon.. it withered and died. the remains had poisoned the land killing all in its path but not the tree, no... the tree suffered far worst. Turned into a twisted screaming tree leaf no more, bark decaying and so far worst to come. 

the tree stood for ten years or more maybe.. 10 centuries as it was the last to survive. that is until a small tree arrived , it appeared from a small patch of green that had been hidden behind a fog. the small tree looked and saw the tree so ugly to all but to the tiny tree it just smiled. "Do not think that you are ugly because of appearance, it only matters in your heart where true beauty lies."

The tree thought of the words before it laughed "thank you little one for showing kindness and beauty into my heart. When I leave promise to behave and show all the others if they may appear the beauty that we all hold.." The tiny tree nodded as soon the days end for the tree that once stood so tall. 

With the tree's pass the land started to reform, to reborn as all new tree's were born, the tiny tree now a bit older as he looked to the others "Attention tree's we have a new person within our family.." The tree smiled as he turned to the spot were a twisted tree once stood but now a little tree stood there small white flowers beginning to bloom around it's leaves.

The End
