Art Sample: The Quest for Rare Crops

The rarest of crops are things out of legend, from the fruit that carries new stars inside of it, said to be capable of growing as large as the entire sky if given the chance, to Nibelung, said to be living remnants of the great beast that was shattered when the void came into existence (Some claim that when the first fruit of the night fell upon the world). Finally there is Avalon, the crystalized blood of that beast mixed with the heat of stars and the hearts of dragons, liquid ambrosia hardened into perfectly sweet shards of deliciousness. The ability to cultivate food from any one of these potent dishes would insure one went down in cooking history, and some culinary schools send yearly expeditions into open sky seeking any hint of them.
