Mo Yuan and Ye Hua, the strict and cunning twin God's of War, were gifted a winsome yet peculiar, ancient peach blossom sapling from their friend Zhe Yan, to plant on Mt. Kunlun. Time passed and the tree climbed great in size, greater than any blossom tree in all the realms. For eighty-thousand years the long branches wept petals day and night and bore not a single fruit. One spring evening, as twilight settled in, the heavy smell of peach filled the noses of the twin gods, beckoning them closer as they stood under the enchanted foliage and watched the blushing fruit slowly swell. A creaking and snapping of wood stirred as the pale tree trunk opened from high. A light chime of bells followed and out tumbled a mortal girl with pale eyes of firelight.
