Chapter 30 - Xylocarpus

"Darius, I got something for you, all the way from our vacation in the Tropics."

"What is it, Aunt Susie? Hopefully, it's something I can say this time."

"It's sweet."

"It's savory."

"It's Xylocarpus!!!!!"

"Darius, why are you scratching your head? Do you not like it?"

"I do, I do; it's just that.....it doesn't look like any fish I ever saw."

"Honey, this is a fruit."

"A very tasty one indeed."

"Can it play music?"

"Uhhhh....."

"Why yes, indeed. Put it up to your ear, and you'll hear the swift bellowing of a clam summer breeze."

"George!!!"

"Wait, I think I hear something. Apple, can you hear it too?"

"Apple?"

"Yeah. He's my friend. Here he is. Apple, I want you to meet my family."

"Hi."

"Oh my. Did he just….he just….he talked to me."

"He can do more then just that. I helped him reframe his worlds. Sadly, it cost our leaving, and we can't go back."

"So sorry to hear that. If you need anything, just ask."

"Thanks, but I'm good. I've made some new friends, Auntie.I got Apple, Princess Elwin, Adyryan, and...oh shoot."
