[This will be an ongoing RE thread lasting the rest of tonight, or until the thread reaches a natural close.]

Dusk drew a slow, yet steady close over an uneventful day. The region seemed to slip into slumber with the fall of the Sun; silence persisted throughout, broken only by the occasional rustle of a nocturnal creature or a set of impassioned lovers. The Secret Grove darkened, though the moon's light bounced brightly off the wide expanse of the water's edge, lacing most of the foliage with a silver coat. All was still and calm.

In the heart of the lake, as clear cut as glass, a small sapling unfurled its head at last. It had been growing for some time, an oddity even for this realm as it drank starlight and shadow instead of sun and rain. This was to be its final night, and as such it would end it brilliantly, lest it be forgotten. So it stretched and it climbed and it pulled itself up towards its watching heavens, almost seeming to stretch out towards the celestial bodies which it adored so much. Its strength was astounding, but limited, and in a short time it had reached its potential.

A large, magnificent tree stood in the lake's center, its roots extending like haphazard bridges towards the shore, wide enough for some to walk on. Its trunk was crooked and gnarled with the growth spurt, but its leaves were lovely, shining dazzlingly under the moonlight with a sterling sheen. Amid its boughs fruits peeked through. Rotund and smooth in nature they emanated a faint glow, each pulsing with a different shade and in a variety of hues. It was breathtakingly beautiful.

The aroma of the fruits was pungent, sweetly so. They wafted out to all of Helovia, curling visibly as a rich smoke saturated with their desirable perfume. They beckoned to be eaten, shared, enjoyed before the night was through and the opportunity lost.
