The leaves flickered like amber jewels under the rising sun and the fragrance of the ripe apples delighted Iðunn’s nose. A new day for her people, one more possibility to live and prosper endlessly in the richest Elvish kingdom of the Eurasian continent. She breathed in and smiled; her body was filled with vigor, every single cell radiated full conscience of her luck. Her gentle hands stroked the trees and dozens of juicy fruits levitated from the branches into a basket placed on a marble table. Each apple glistened brighter than any diamond, wrapped in a veil of pure magic, letting its power shine through the golden skin. She had cultivated every seed with all the affection she was capable of and the apaldr of the Sacred Garden had grown healthy and strong. She walked barefoot on the grass and the soft soil massaged her toes, as if the earth itself showed its appreciation. Subtle strings of energy caressed her ankles, curling around her legs like glowing roots, creating wings of light on her shoulders and spreading in a dance of sparkles. Even the flowers crowning her head absorbed that magnificent goodness, passing it on to her long hair and transforming it in a vibrant mane.
