According to the ancient texts, a very long time ago, there existed a tree that was no different from the others. It had no thoughts, no emotions, and certainly no consciousness. It simply stood there, living as any normal tree would.
But then, one day, something changed.
The tree began to see the world around it. It could feel the wind brushing against its leaves, the creatures crawling along its bark, and even sense the warmth of the sun above. Bit by bit, it developed a faint spark of intelligence.
And the reason for this miraculous transformation was traced to a strange, ever-changing symbol that had mysteriously appeared on its trunk. No one knew where it came from. But that symbol—the Rune—was unlike anything in the world.
