Three millennia ago, a storm blew across the forest that stood still on the land. Born on the wind came a dozen leaves from a place out of mind. Strong did the winds blow, scattering these newcomers wide away from each other. Skidding, sliding across the forest floor, they each scrabbled for purchase hoping to find a place in the lee of the wind.
Eventually they each found shelter to wait out the storm which continued for days. Once peace came to the forest, these newcomers stepped out searching for a way home, but all their landmarks were gone
They looked up to their elders and asked them where to go only to discover these arboreal inhabitants did not understand their questions. They each, in their own space and time, realized they were no longer in their own lands and the grown trees lacked sentience. With their youthful vigor, they bounded through this new home.
After an age, they began to find each other with the joy and sorrow those sort of meetings engender. Merging with each other, they began the long process of populating their homes with their children and shepherding the native inhabitants.
