How the red rose became red

Long ago there was no red roses all were white, pink, yellow, and orange
One day Sarla, Queen of the stars came walking down to earth to survey it for her father.
She loved the white roses most of all because they were a sign of peace and purity.
As she walked by the Crystal waterfall and into the white rose bushes, her vibrant dark purple hair flowing through an unseen breeze.
Little did she know that she was being watched by Terloc lord of Venus, he was madly in love with Sarla.
He had tried to marry her before but her heart belonged to someone very close to her and that someone was Terloc's brother Kerloc lord of the night-sky's.
Kerloc came down to meet with his love but was intersected by his brother.
Terloc took hold of Sarla's arm and pulled her towards himself and Kerloc took her other arm and wrenched her from his brother's grasp. He picked her up and set her behind him to keep her safe from his brother.
But as he turned his back Terloc lounged forward and knocked Kerloc to the ground.
So began the war of Sarla.
Sarla pleaded with them to stop but they kept at it.
Kerloc being younger and stronger stabbed his brother through the heart and turned to comfort Sarla.
But when he turned his back Terloc with his last bit of strength stabbed Terloc through the neck and stumbled to the ground dead.
Sarla embraced her love and tried to save him but could not.

She called out to the gods and begged them to not let there bodies be left like that.
When the gods replied and the bodies dispersed into the ground but blood was left on the White roses.
Sarla screamed out when she saw that and she slit her own throat and died.
But as she fell since she was the daughter of a god her blood covered all the white roses and turned them red.

And so because of her blood the red rose is red.

And when you prick you're finger on a thorn it is a reminder of the battle of Sarla.
