Joining of the Wroshyrs
Once, when the forest was young ...
... there were two Wroshyr saplings. They were very far apart and did not even notice each other. As they began to grow, and their trunks expanded, they each became aware of the other. He would look at her and think "she is so small and not as strong as I am". She would look at him and think "he is so proud and self centered".
Each cycle of the forest brought them closer to each other. They began to talk and exchange pleasantries. One day, as happens with Wroshyrs, their branches brushed up against each other. He thought "she is so soft and gentle". She thought "he is so strong and self-assured".
As they spent time together, they got to know each other. Each realized that the other was unique. Each began to understand the nature of the other. They got to know each other quite well.
And, as happens with Wroshyrs, their branches began to grow together and fuse. Each became a part of the other, forever joined in the forest. Each of them thought "how did I ever live apart?"
Commentary on "Joining of the Wroshyrs"
I remember in school we talked about something called "Wookification". It basically means taking Wookiee characteristics and applying them to an plant, animal, or other object.
Wookiees do this often in our stories. It is quite common. We don't really even thing about it.
It wasn't until I was talking to Ambur one day about naming the trees in Symphonia that I realized this may be an alien concept to some species.
I guess it is a way of expressing Wookiee ideals in an entertaining fashion. If the story above were about two young Wookiees who grew up together in the same village and eventually fell in love, it would not be as interesting. That happens all the time, obviously, or there would be no little Wookiees.
Instead, it is a way of examining the things that make us Wookiee from a different perspective. I think that is what makes these stories interesting.
