Everyone always goes on about how lots of things happen during Birdsong and Tallsun. The birds and the bees are doing their thing, plants are blooming, the weather goes crazy - there’s just a whole lot crammed into those two seasons. Which like, good for them and all that. But Orangemoon is a pretty crazy time too. It has this reputation for being the beginning of the slowdown period, what with the temperatures cooling off and all, but let me tell you - Orangemoon is when the procrastinators start getting their shit together.

We all know Tallsun was one hairy beast this year - this peaceful little thicket wasn’t immune to the effects of wildfire and heat. Some of the trees are a little scorched around their base but luckily the thicket didn’t actually lose any of them to the flames. The drought that followed was, well, a little bit tricker - some of the trees started dropping their leaves early just from the stress! A rather sore sight, to be sure.

It was both a blessing and a curse when Orangemoon rolled around. On the bright side - cooler temperatures and a bit of rain helped sooth the plants and the animals that lived in the thicket returned to their homes. On the down side, Frostfall was approaching and there was a lot of preparation that needed to be done. Hibernation fat needed to be put on and stores needed to be made for those that wouldn’t just snooze on through the cold weather. Brothers were turning on brothers, neighbours were fighting over every little acorn and pine cone. It was chaos!!

So one morning, a  crisp and typical Orangemoon morning, the trees decided to do something about it. That’s right the trees. They couldn’t do much as individuals but they pooled their resources together and breathed life into one of their number - a mighty blue spruce that grew in the centre of this particular thicket.

With a load groan it woke into consciousness, shifting its roots and causing the earth to tremble all around. Several old knots blended together to form a face - not a particularly kind looking face but come on, it had just woken up.

It was time to help their little furry friends.

First, they needed to lure some of the larger furry creatures over. Trees gossip, you know, and they knew that nothing quite drew a crowd of Helovians like an egg. So they found one, a smooth little egg that the blue spruce cradled in a crook at it’s base - nestled snug in a bed of needles.

Why not just go up and grab it? Well, if you’ve ever touched blue spruce needles before you’ll know damn well why not right off the bat. For those of you that haven’t - each needle is a prickly little SOB and that made the drooping canopy at the base of the spruce a tidy little shelter for the little egg. Branches were arranged just so it was visible but clear that this wasn’t going to be a snatch-and-grab situation.

The trees needed a favour first!
