Justinej's father has planted a beautiful tree in their yard to commemorate his beloved wife. He had gotten the seeds from an exotic fruit merchant and the market, and not that the tree had been growing for 7 full years, it was expected to bear fruit. That morning, at the first sign of sunrise, Justinej, her two siblings, and her father went out to the tree and saw three beautiful golden apples hanging from it. The fruit was so beautiful, they could not bear to pick it, so they left it in the tree to be enjoyed by all. But that night, at exactly midnight, a dragon flew in to their town and stole one of the three apples. In the morning, on discovering the loss, Justinej's father was heartbroken, so he ordered Justine, as his oldest child, to guard the tree that night. Justine took her sword, a bag of walnuts, and a pset, and sat outside by the tree, working by candlelight. As the night grew ever later, she began to crack the walnuts in order to stay awake. And once again, at exactly midnight, the dragon appeared. Justinej fought valiantly for 8 whole minutes, but in the end, she just could not compete with a giant, fire-breathing monster, and though she grievously wounded the dragon and chased it away for the night, she herself did not survive.
Justinej was found dead in goodale hallway on 4E at 12:08 am.
