Drupe
In botany, a drupe (or stone fruit) is an indehiscent fruit in which an outer fleshy part (exocarp, or skin; and mesocarp, or flesh) surrounds a shell (the pit, stone, or pyrene) of hardened endocarp with a seed (kernel) inside. These fruits usually develop from a single carpel, and mostly from flowers with superior ovaries (polypyrenous drupes are exceptions). The definitive characteristic of a drupe is that the hard, "lignified" stone (or pit) is derived from the ovary wall of the flower—in an aggregate fruit composed of small, individual drupes (such as a raspberry), each individual is termed a drupelet and may together form a botanic berry.
Other fleshy fruits may have a stony enclosure that comes from the seed coat surrounding the seed, but such fruits are not drupes.
Some flowering plants that produce drupes are coffee, jujube, mango, olive, most palms (including date, sabal, coconut and oil palms), pistachio, white sapote, and all members of the genus Prunus, including the almond (in which the mesocarp is somewhat leathery), apricot, cherry, damson, nectarine, peach, and plum.

A New Aeon Of Desecration
by: TryblithBattlefields glow
Cemetery fog grows
In the gathering gloom
Frozen bodies
Liquifying
Voices of Phlegethos
Calling my name
Golden rivers
And twisted forests
Slain forces
And slaughtered chosen
And here we gather
In desecration
A new aeon of warlust and bloud
To quench our thirst
I slay laegion in waxe
And call name of wynds
And they crawl forth
From below
Eternitites darken
Battlefields glow
Cemetery fog grows
On a looming horizon
And here we gather
In desecration
A new aeon of bloud and souls
To quench our thirst
Signing of seven consecrated branches of fir
Upon the soil
