[Lo-W3] Infinite Love
General Appearance:
This plant always consists of three separate branches that still branch out a little further.
It grows ice blue crystal leaves which texture looks very similar to that of the Tree of Harmony.
Living Environment:
This plant originated in the Everfree Forest and can only be found there, but it can be further cultivated if you plant one of its leaves. Because of this, it can be found in every Grifix settlement, but it only grows there. It cannot grow outside of those settlements.
The Uniqueness of this Plant:
Despite it only growing so few leaves, it is still alive and thriving. As long as you leave on leaf on it, it will continue to strive and be alive. It only dies if you take away all of its leaves.
This plant also only grows in areas where Grifix live in as they only grow with Grifix magic available.
Usage:
This may be a bit of a special plant.
One leaf can cure a weeping heart and ease up any mental scars if consumed. If you consume it raw, it will ease any suffering from broken relationships. If it is consumed after being chopped or mashed, it will ease any suffering from a lost something.
The plant itself, however, is used to keep the ground soil fertilized. Just having this plant in your garden will keep the soil fertilized for as long as the plant lives.
Rumors & Legends:
Many wonder why the leaves look so crystal-like and because the leaves reminded them of the Tree of Harmony, they once went to the Tree and planted the Infinite Love plant there. Surprisingly, it grew there, even without the Grifix being there, but it only ever grew one single leaf.
As for how the Infinite Love came to pass and why it is called like that, there is a legend passed along the Divided Grifix.
A long time ago, there was a Divided Grifix on whom both crystals and plants grew. Instead of wings, it had trees, and it had crystals growing everywhere. This young Grifix took a great interest in plants and gardening and created a small garden just outside Ghastly Gorge. It took great care of it, even or especially during its last years, for the trees and crystals were slowly consuming them. While the Grifix felt worse and worse, they just kept tending to the garden more and more lovingly. At some point, their fellow Grifix started to get worried about them, but the Grifix stayed strong. The fellow Grifix wanted them to take a break, but they refused stating that the plants needed to be taken care of. So, the fellow Grifix sighed, and in the last week of the Grifix's live, the whole camp tended to the garden. The garden flourished like it never did before and looked especially beautiful.
When the Grifix realized they were about to die, the fellow Grifix silently carried them into their garden and laid them the midst of a field of Ice Fairies and then stepped away.
They were able to admire their garden one last time before they finally died. But they were fully happy with how they had lived their life and just overjoyed at how the garden looked in the past days.
The fellow Grifix came a few hours after their death to say goodbye, but when they wanted to bring their dead body away to bury it properly, they all hesitated. For some reason it felt wrong to move the body, so they just left it there.
And as the trees and crystals continued to take over the withering body, they merged and eventually became the plant known today.
Once the fellow Grifix realized the hidden powers of the plant, they called it "Infinite Love" to reflect the undying love of the Divided Grifix.
