A Random Event Has Occurred!
Like everything on the island the water with its coat of fireflies had been waiting too. But now it's done waiting and it's waking up. The water shakes like a bear and great ripples start to rise out from the center of it. The sheen of fireflies ripples out too, until it's crests of fireflies swooping out over the dark thicket and making clear other things that had been waiting, and sleeping, too.
A rabbit is looking out from a bed of leaves and five horns are spiraling out from his head in a halo made of bones instead of light. Fireflies perch on his altars of bone and they start to flicker to the slow blinking of his wide, sleep crusted eyes. And if the horses move closer they might notice that his eyes seems to be made of caught fireflies swirling behind a cage of glass.
Upon a wide frond a macaw is watching them. His head is spinning around like an owl. Each feather on his wings, when he lifts them in a message to the horses below, shines in the flickering insect light like caught fire. He is the reddest thing in the black jungle that is only now just waking up to revel in the light. When he opens his beak no sound comes out.
But beyond them, out where the light is only just beginning to touch in those great rippling waves, a garden is starting to bloom. Petals of red, and orange, and pearl are starting to open up their lotus faces towards the light. They are growing towards it-- up, up, up-- until they are as tall as the trees. Their stems do not grow bark only thorns.
When the fireflies finally settle themselves back down it's at the base of those massive, awake flowers. And when the water stops shaking like a wild animal each flower turns its featureless face towards the two horned horses waiting by the pool.
