But they were all of them deceived, for another citrus was made…
But they were all of them deceived, for another citrus was bred. In the sun-scorched groves of Barbados, in hidden orchards, Captain Shaddock labored in secret to create the grapefruit, that would outshine all citrus. And into this grapefruit they nurtured all their boldness, their ambition, and their desire to reshape the taste of life itself. One fruit to eclipse them all.
One by one, the free gardens of Pan-Gaea fell to the power of the Grapefruit, but there were some who resisted. A last alliance of citrus and citron marched against the armies of Florida, and on the very swamps of Ever Glade, they fought for the freedom of Pan-Gaea. Victory was near, but the power of the furanco courmarin could not be undone. It was in this moment, when all hope had faded, that Tangelo, son of the king, took up his father’s rootstock.
