Mom, I finished your tree.

I was Clara Morsell. My mother, Luisa Morsell, worked her entire life to farm enough milkweed to make candles and string up a Yule Tree. She died before she was able to finish it, but passed the task on to me. I made the last two garlands, gathered as many cousins as would join me, and lit the tree. It was a beautiful moment of togetherness and remembrance.

I suppose it was reckless of me to not have first moved the three axes that lay scattered on the ground nearby, but when my cousin Robert picked one up and chopped down my mother's beautiful tree, I couldn't help myself. In a fit of rage, I stabbed him. Of course a suspicious crowd gathered, he was healed, and someone stabbed me in retaliation. I was unable to convince them that in one fateful swing of that axe he had undone my mother's life's work, and that his actions would not be tolerated.

It appears that my daughter Gryphon was also murdered attempting to avenge my death.

I am sorry, mother.

bwof--this is a much rougher read than you'd expect. That second half has no warning to it.

Sad story.
Once I found a grieffer that destroyed kilns, I stabbed him. After that someone came and stabbed me back immediately for stabbing someone, he did it so fast I couldn't even explain why I did this. Sometimes life is tough :D

I've been a weed queen in this life. I started planting milkweed at young age, with no real purpose, but milkweed is always good for buckets, carts and doors (oh yes, at first i wanted to make a door because I had found a steel spring), and a field of milkweed is always pretty when all the plants are grown and in different states.

I made some buckets and planted more milkweed.

Then I saw two bowls of wax, so I decided to make the candle tree. A kid found my hidden cart full of all the thread I needed, and as it's easier to steal than harvest what's on ground he helped himself in the cart. Fortunately I still had enough to make the candles and garlands.
We almost forget one candle, luckily you're not as blind as me, and the candle set was done.

I'm glad you could finish it ! Pity it got destroyed so fast, but at least you could enjoy the best part : when it's all illuminated !
This tree shouldn't be as easy to chop down, I guess it's not even an hungry work ?

Anyways, even if the end is sad, that was a nice life and work. Thank you for your help. And don't be sorry !

All wholesome moments in the game nowadays are always drowned out by the griefers in the end.

It's really depressing.
