The picture on the table is the picture of the Grandfather of the barbergirl. The parents of the girl died, and she lived in with her grandfather and they liked eachother a lot. Just before the war of Dustari v.s. Bakugun, the grandfather, who was forced to join the military, sended the girl to the main island, to Avalon, and he gave her the picture. Years passed after that, and the girl wasn't sure whether her grandfather was dead or alive. Eventually, she decided to set out to the Samurai island, and visit her old home. She saw it, and noticed it was burned down. North of it was a memorial graveyard, and on one of the stones was inscripted the name of her grandfather. The girl wept alot near the grave, then she decided to move on. But, she saw a little tree growing right behind her father's grave. She took the tree with her, put it in a little pot, and put it next to the picture of her grandfather of the table, the memorize him for ever.

As it were in ancient times, before the arrival of the five kingdoms to the Graal Archipelago, the islands were barely populated at all. Spread out sparsely across the isles were a few small tribes, but nothing that could be considered a civilization. One such tribe was located in the area which is now considered Tanarthia and Avalonia. This tribe focused their beliefs on the spirits of nature, and could have very well been early followers of the Goddess Brigid. Believing that nature would protect them, they planted such small trees around their area. Though proven in these modern times, where death by shell bomy is at an all time low, that trees offer no natural protection against evil, the belief has arisen again as a superstition. One such believer to this superstition is the hairdresser of Avalonia, who keeps a small tree on the counter in her shop reasoning that it cannot harm anything and also that it adds atmosphere to her otherwise plain shop.

Now, for

The same rules apply as last week, with a slight change: if I get 3 or more valid stories, the prize will be an eventcoin for the winner, otherwise it'll be a bottle of booze.
The second week's point of interest is:
The Kryss stuck in the ground in the Magic Crystal shop in Igloo Town
