"This route is by far the longest to the lake, but it pays off." Elizabeth prodded the ground with her walking stick. The terrain was different than that of their base camp— it was a lot more fruitful...literally. She walked over to some trees and bushes, and used her walking stick to knock some apples from the tree, "This," she spoke slowly as she picked up a dark purple, almost black, apple, "is an incredibly rare and stupidly delicious apple. It's called the 'Black Diamond' apple. They're supposedly insanely difficult to grow, primarily because finding the perfect conditions for them is close to impossible. And yet," she paused. Ellie turned the apple in her hand and looked at her surroundings. "Wherever we are is very much a mystery. But if something as good and rare as this can thrive here, then maybe we can too."
