"One day, in a forest in Morocco, four paths converged at a single
point. In the center of the point sat the fabled Nutella tree, dripping free
hazelnut spread to all passerby. On this coincidental day, four young women
walked down each path separately. They were:
Asumi, the Chinese fan doll with the capability to dance and swim
herself to the aid of any of her loyal compatriots;
Laura, the Queen of the Sirens, whose beautiful voice had the power to
stir wombats from the trees and men from their wives;
Sarah, the Magical Fairy of Languages and Gifts with the ability to
speak any language in the world and consistently found luck wherever she
stepped;
and Emily, the Warrior, Fire-Breather, and Party Monger, who incites
energy, love, and activity when not warring ferociously.
These four brave women stumbled upon the tree at the exact same time,
on the exact same time, because the Great God Allah willed them to. They stood
in a circle around the tree, staring at one another, wondering about each
other's odd clothing. Suddenly, they noticed the smell of mallagai-puu
(jasmine) wafting from above. They looked up and saw Allah, in the form of the
Goddess of Odd, Krishna-Julie, descending toward them. She was sitting like
Buddha and floating downward, draped in saris but very much Caucasian.
She said to the travelers, 'I have called you four women to this Tree
of Free Nutella Goodness because you are meant to know each other. You are
meant to live your lives aware of each others loves, hates, and endeavors. You
will be forever indebted and giving to one another. Despite arguments or times
of solitude, you will always love each other. And I will always be weird."
The girls knew that they could not deny the sage and divine truth of
Allah Krishna-Julie. So, they took one another's hands, put their faces under
the streaming lines of hazelnut goodness, and drank all the Tree had to
offer."
