It was love at first sight.
Two lonely souls brought together by fate.
One had been abandoned, the other neglected and unnoticed, but they formed a kinship second to none, and as the years progressed, were inseparable.
Their forest friends protected them from the elements, closing ranks in bad weather, expanding out to let in the sun. Theirs was a unique union, a peaceful life of coexistence, both knowing that one day like the mythical Sword in the Stone, One would come to release them, and they would again be alone.
But not yet.
For now they were content to simply Be and hoped that they could just be left alone.
