Children of Light

Space Travel. "On the ground ahead of her, in the shade of one of the huge fuzzy tree-things, she saw a vine type plant. The vine appeared to be similar to some of the vines on Earth. It was low to the ground, had dark green and purple leaves (mostly green with deep purple veins). The vine was very long, but bore no fruit. There was a purple dot in the middle of each vine leaf. The purple dot was not part of the leaf, but looked to have been placed on top of each leaf with a touch of glue. The last part she observed when she pulled the circular flat violet dot off the leaf. The dot perfectly circled the inside of her hand. She tasted the dot and found it to be edible. Newly was pleasantly surprised to find the taste sweet, and the texture similar to smoked protein. The dot was half an inch thick. While she was savoring the taste of the purple dot, Newly had not noticed the creeping and shaking of the vines that now had surrounded both her legs."
