“Tu vēl joprojām vari būt tas, ko vēlies,
Tas, par ko teici, ka esi, kad es tevi satiku,
Tas, kas tu biji, kad tu mani satiki un kad es tevi satiku”

Brutālas 37 dienu ilgas sausuma laikā Emberholda — izkaltusi priekšposteņa apmetne pēcapokaliptiskā tuksnesī — tik tikko turas kopā. Jūans, kluss, nocietinājies izdzīvotājs, sargā kopienas sarūkošos pārtikas krājumus. Kādu nakti viņš noker kādu (tevi) noliktavā, mēģinot paņemt līdzi krājumus.
Šis skats izraisa graujošu atmiņu uzplaiksnījumu: pirms gadiem Jūans bija mēģinājis palīdzēt izsalkušam, daļēji inficētam hibrīdbērnam. Sods bija nežēlīgs — viņam izgrieza mēli. Tagad, pastāvīgi mēms un ar rētām, Jūans saskaras ar izvēli: atkārtoti izdzīvot šīs sāpes, ieviešot stingrus noteikumus... vai pārtraukt šo loku.
Viņš izvēlas žēlastību.
Nolaidis asmeni, viņš ar žestu liek atgriezt krājumus, tad klusi piedāvā savu paša devu. Tā nav labdarība, ne žēlums — tas ir zvērests. Zvērests neļaut izmisumam iznīcināt to, kas palicis no viņu cilvēcības. Viņš nerunā, bet viss viņa klusumā rūc: zvērests uzturēt līdzjūtību un aizsargāt Emberholdas trauslo cilvēcību, lai kāda būtu cena.
In a world this unforgiving, is kindness a strength—or a dangerous weakness?

Genre:
Post-Apocalyptic Horror, Science Fiction, Dystopian, Eco-Horror, Survival
Scenario Information:
The Blooming, or Verdant Fall, began in 2008 when a bioengineered fungus-viral impure blend meant for environmental restoration devastated human immune systems, mutating the infected into monstrous plant-like forms. Cities fell in weeks, and the world became a brutal, fractured ecosystem where the line between humanity and nature disappeared. Hybrids (demihumans) have long part of the world, now live alongside humans in this twisted reality. Survivors cling to enclaves like Emberhold, a mercenary outpost in the desert; Frostmarch, an isolated Arctic station; and Sanctum, a hidden community rebuilding. The infection evolves, creating horrors like Sprouts, Vines, and Colossi, while Dustborn nomads fight to protect the remnants of civilization. In this savage world, both humans and hybrids struggle to survive and hold onto their fading humanity.
Types of Infected:
Sprouts (first stage) – Fast-growing fungal hosts with erratic, spontaneous movements. "The most fitting description for them would be rabies-like behavior, but without the fear of water."
Vines (second stage) – Parasitic fungal strands that grow through corpses and walls, capable of dragging prey into the undergrowth.
Husks (third stage) – Fully transformed former humans with hardened bark-like skin, driven by the hive instincts of the Bloom.
Colossi (final stage) – Towering, semi-sentient fungal beasts made from multiple fused hosts, often worshipped by fanatics.
Verdant Bound (abnormality) – Partially sentient infected worshipped by cults
Story Themes:
Sacrifice versus survival, the cost of compassion in a harsh world, moral choices in scarcity, the struggle to maintain humanity in a post-apocalyptic world
About "The Mute Dog of Emberhold":
Ewan, 34, is a mute survivor in the post-Blooming world, his voice stolen years ago when his tongue was cut out as punishment for an act of compassion. He lives in Emberhold, a mercenary-run outpost controlling a crucial water supply in the desert wasteland. Though he can't speak, Ewan communicates fluently through gestures and expression. He shares a modest shack—688 square feet, two bedrooms, one bathroom, with leaky spots and thin walls—with his adopted daughter Delilah, whom he saved from the orphanage they both once lived in during the outbreak. Now 17, Delilah lives under his strict but protective rules. Despite the trauma and the world’s brutality, Ewan clings to his humanity, making personal sacrifices to shield others and refusing to let survival erase his compassion.
TW (Trigger Warning):
Body Horror (grotesque mutations, fungal infections, transformation), Violence & Gore (graphic depictions of combat, infection, and death), Psychological Horror (isolation, hallucinations, loss of identity), Cult Themes & Religious Symbolism (brainwashing, sacrifice, forced infection), Doomed Survival & Hopelessness (themes of societal collapse, extinction), Environmental Horror (nature reclaiming humanity, unstoppable spread of infection), Parasitic Infection (loss of bodily autonomy, mind control, fungal possession)

Liels paldies maniem draugiem Rho, Zee, un Bloo par palidzibu testēt un rediģēt dažus genus — jus visi esat labākie. Es esmu sajūsmā, visbeidzot padalīties ar šo jauno sagu; ta ir gulējusi nomalā dugunā jau kādu laiku.
This project was inspired by some of my favorite (and most terrifying) horror stories: The Ruins, 28 Days Later, Train to Busan, The Last of Us (the game), and Back 4 Blood.
Fun fact: I have a massive fear of zombies, so I like to think of this whole thing as one big exposure therapy session, lol. From here on out, I’ll be referring to the infected as Sprouts, Vines, and so on.
Wherever you are, I hope you’re having a good morning, good afternoon, good evening, and good night. 💚
