Alex stood a couple hundred yards away from the village. Everything was quite and at a standstill it seemed. The eerie absence of everything was starting to get on his nerves. His eyes flickered around, looking—no hoping—to find something other than the overgrowth of the plants.

He sucked in a breath of air as he looked around and crept forward, following the path of the vines to their source. His hand tightened around the knife holstered at his waist. What good it would do was another question he so desperately wanted the answer to. There was no time to ask questions, the elders of the village had said to make haste, and so he did.

The further he got into the forest, the thicker the vines got and the darker it seemed to get. Snap. He stopped dead in his tracks and glanced around for whatever seemed to be out there. Slowly his hand withdrew the knife from his waist. He crouched low to the ground as he lunged forward in a sprint. The vines came at him; too smart for a plant. Sidestep right. Jump to the left. Speed on through forward.

His eyes widened as he came to a quick halt, sliding several feet. He dropped his knife in the process. Catching his breath, he quickly grabbed his knife and got to his feet. His jaw dropped as he took a few more steps forward, shaking his head. In front of him lay an industrial factory. Pipes billowed out of it and polluted the stream below it. That stream hydrated a majority of the forest and flowed through a majority of the villages that ran along by it.

He shook his head as he stumbled back. There was no way he would be able to fix this all on his own. But how was he to fix this if all were going mad and being corrupted by the plant? Chances were that he would succumb to the madness himself before he could come up with a solution. It looked like no easy answer and no easy solution. This was it. This was the end.
