Stone Flowers
Cyro Hartliebe 2020
A long, long time ago, when flowers were made of stone, once a year, the humans had a contest to see who could crush the most flowers. The fairies were horrified. They started to give the flowers the gift of incrushability. The humans were angry. They made war against the fairies. The fairies created magic mine fields to turn the living creatures into stone. This gave the fairies an idea. They created the opposite of that. They created magic that turns stone into living creatures. They used it on the flowers. After seeing the beauty of the living creatures, the humans gave up.
