In the three short weeks since its creation, the twenty-five-house block had transformed into a vibrant, thriving world of lush, green life.
The first harvest was underway, and the bounty was beyond their wildest dreams.
Massive, perfectly formed potatoes were being pulled from the rich, black, living earth. Ears of maize, their kernels plump and golden, were heavier than any they had ever seen on Thanad.
The tomato vines were laden with ripe, crimson fruit. The air inside the massive greenhouse was rich with the smell of fresh soil, growing things, and the faint, sweet scent of blooming strawberry flowers.
Their production rate, accelerated by Serena's initial blessing and the perfect, 24/7 cycle of simulated sunlight, was so high that they were already producing a significant surplus in just few weeks.
Tonight, for the first time since their arrival in the Nexus, the Sparkborns would feast.
