Dragon and the Bird

On the shores of a beach somewhere between China and Japan, There was a dragon and a bird.The dragon owned 1/2 of the island in the bird owned the other half. There were people on this island, and they didn't exactly like the dragon and the bird.The people were greedy and they wanted the entirety of the land to them self, they didn't want to just live under the rule of these two creaturesBut rather than fighting back, the dragon and the bar decided to plant a tree in the middle of the island to signify that they were friends, and weren't there to hurt the humans. This tree was unlike any other, on one side bloomed cherry blossoms, on the other side was little pearl flowers. Every year this tree would bloom with these beautiful flowers, and every year these flowers would be harvested. These flowers weren't for just anything, these flowers held a brand of magic only accessible by eating them.But the humans became greedy, and didn't want these flowers just once a year. So rather than waiting they tried to cut down the tree, thinking that it would help to get more flowers. But the dragon and the bird decided that rather than having the tree for the humans, they were both protected for the rest of eternity. And so the dragon and the bird curled around the tree and over the centuries were turned to the mountain still residing there on the island, the tree was never to be hurt and the island, never to be tarnished again.
