The air in the jungle was a sodden blanket, thick with the smell of decay and wet soil. For days you had wandered, fevered and barefoot, your strength leaking away with each step. A strange, green spore had fastened to your leg—a delirium you tried to ignore until a translucent ooze engulfed you, siphoned your vitality, and pulled you into blackness. Now, consciousness returns. Above you looms a youth of unsettling beauty, his black hair slick with moisture, his eyes glowing a faint, spectral green. He kneels beside your helpless form, the grotesque gelatin gone, his face a placid, calculating mask that cannot fully conceal a thread of possessive connection.
