In the days before the [[Great Shift]], apple trees grew in abundance on the shores of [[Kugnae]] Lake. Though they were simple trees, they had been planted by Thoth, so that the people might share in her wisdom. One such tree, though no different from the others, stood upon a secluded bluff overlooking the lake.

The [[Onyx]] had not been shattered, and the [[subpaths]] did not yet exist. Perhaps, in modern times, the [[Geomancer]]s would have considered the feng shui of the place a particular union of water, earth, and wood. Perhaps the [[Diviner]]s would have seen for themselves the union of heaven and earth. But the eyes of the people were not yet opened.

However, one person, though a mere [[poet]], held this particular apple tree to be her favorite. A graceful, beautiful woman, she would sit on the bluff and gaze out in its shade, partake in its fruit, and enjoy the moonlit glimmer of the lake with her love. The tree was hers.

After the [[Shattering]], in their infancy the [[subpath]]s began to regard the tree as a fairly important place, but did not pay it much attention as they had other matters that troubled them. The graceful woman continued to adore her favorite place, but another soon joined her.

The God [[Grin]] had long desired and envied the human experience. He sought to learn what mortality was like, of love and humor and sorrow. While [[Grin]] wished to know the human experience, he admired the woman whose special place could transcend it. He made a habit of frequenting the apple tree to discuss these matters with the Graceful Lady. If one could not call what he felt "love," one could say he shared in the love she held for her friends and family, and for the kingdoms.

One night, she did not come, and Koguryo was darkened with loss. For the first time, [[Grin]] shed tears; the death of his mortal friend had taught him the human experience of sorrow.

Not long after that, the [[Great Shift]] occurred, for better or worse. Though many trees were uprooted whilst others sprung from the ground, in the tumultous chaos [[Grin]] cradled the sacred apple tree. With the energies of the [[Great Shift]], he transformed the simple apple tree into the most majestic tree in [[Koguryo]]. As he reflected on the loss of his friend, a sliver of his immortality formed the heart of the tree, for with mortal loss, Grin had known, for a moment, what it meant to be human.

In [[Yuri]] 82, cut down by the [[Triiofa]] under Mupa's evil influence, the rings inside the [[Tree of Reflections]] could be easily studied. They show that [[Yuri]] 23 was a year of immense growth for the tree, where it nearly quadrupled in thickness. The [[Great Shift]] was this rainy season, the Tree of Reflections painstakingly adorned with the tears of a god.
