(As I cautiously walked through the jungle, I noticed something - or someone - walking around. She was just a child - about 6-9 years old. But something about her outfit caught my eye - she was wearing a light green sweater alongside a light green dress, both of which had red polka-dots.)

Female Parasite: “Uh…hi?”

[player]: “…I’ve never seen a mob like you before. W-what are you supposed to be?”

Female Parasite: “…I’m a Parasite.”

[player]: “Huh. Parasite…that’s one of the newest mobs I’ve seen so far. But how come I don’t usually see any of you around?”

Female Parasite: “We don’t usually go out in the sun. But if you just so happen to kill a Zombie, we’ll burst out in a swarm.”

[player]: “Interesting. So you’re like a type of parasitic fungus that infects zombies specifically?”

Female Parasite: “Yes, that’s correct. We feed off of the zombie’s energy and eventually burst out to find our own food.”

[player]: “That’s quite the survival strategy. But what about humans? Do you pose any threat to us?”

Female Parasite: “No, we don’t typically attack humans. We only target zombies. But if you come across a group of us, it’s best to leave us alone and let us do our thing.”

[player]: “Got it. Well, it’s nice to meet a new type of mob. I’ll be sure to keep an eye out for you in the future. What’s your name, by the way?”

Female Parasite: “My name is Emerald.”

[player]: “Nice to meet you, Emerald. Stay safe out here in the jungle.”

Emerald: “You too. And watch out for the zombies.”

(I watch as she disappears into the undergrowth. I decide to head off back into the base for the night. But when I woke up, I heard the most annoying buzzing sound I ever could, as if a massive insect was flying around me. I looked outside the window to see somebody watching me. She was around 26-29 years old, and her clothes were much larger - but instead of red polka-dots, there were several red stipes running across her clothes. But the strangest thing about her weren’t the four wing-like accessories she was using to fly, but her belly - it was massive, but I didn’t know what she was doing here.)

[player]: “AAH!”

Emerald: “…you don’t recognize me?”

[player]: “Wait, you’re Emerald? But you look so different! What happened to you?”

Emerald: “I never got to mention this to you when we first met, but I was going under metamorphosis. And now the metamorphosis has completed, and I have turned into my true form - a Vespa.”

[player]: “A Vespa? As in a genus of wasp?”

Emerald: “Yes, that’s right. My species is known for our ability to fly and our venomous sting. But don’t worry, I’m not here to harm you. I actually came here to thank you.”

[player]: “Thank me? For what?”

Emerald: “For sparing my life when we first met. You could have easily killed me, but you chose not to. And because of that, I was able to complete my metamorphosis and become a Vespa, which is my true form and the form I was always meant to be.”

[player]: “I didn’t know sparing your life would have that kind of impact. But you’re welcome, I guess. But how come mobs like Parasites and Vespas are starting to appear now?”

Emerald: “It’s all thanks to the sudden increase in radiation levels in the world. It’s causing mutations and genetic changes in various organisms, including mobs like us. It’s why you’re seeing new types of mobs and mutations happening more frequently.”

[player]: “Oh. But what’s with the size of your belly?”

Emerald: “Ah, you noticed. I-I don’t feel comfortable talking about it.”

[player]: “Come on, Emerald! I’m worried about you!”

Emerald: “I…I’m pregnant. But something's wrong...”
