Hypen Nupen

Hypen Nupen was one of the sons of Ottoborg. As with all his brothers, he had a loop of the top of his head, but he was the only of his brothers with a nose. Along with his brothers he fell from his world and fell on a chunk of land which passed by many planets and worlds. It got caught in the tail of the comet Pyrageorge which was full of seeds. 
Hypen cultivated his land so that he could grow flowers, which he loved, as they made the place happy and festive (especially considering that he had a nose), and made wreaths to decorate the loop in his head. In a few years, even after growing an extraordinary amount of flowers, and nobody else grew flowers, his imagination was wild. He thought that there must be others like him cultivating and growing huge fields of flowers in the universe, and the thought to be the King of Flowers without rivals burned in him. No amount of flowers was enough to satisfy his growing craving.
He developed fertilizers and plant foods and cultivated his land to produce nothing but more and more flowers, neglecting every other seed. He violently ripped, cursed and teared any other type of plant growing amongst his flowers, as soon as he noticed it, and he was so upset that he lied down for a nap.
For many centuries, his chunk of land desperately strained itself to produce a dozen or so more flowers every season, but it was not enough. Then the yield of the over-worked land began to decrease, and Hypen reacted by pressing the land harder and harder to yield more. The more he did, the less the land was able to produce. Eventually, with each season, the yield decreased first 10, then 100 fold, and so on, until it became barren and sterile. But still, if Hypen found anything other than a flower, he unrooted and threw it into the compost pile.
Hypen wasted away like his land. His head-loop drooped. In his last days he cared for the last few flowers that struggled desperately to grow in the dust. When the last flower died, so did Hypen Nupen, before taking the time to weed the desolate fields from the few spindly vines.
