[Recap]
Y/n and Ethan were traveling into the dark forest for who knows how long. Earlier, Chris attacked Ethan's home, shot Mia dead and had to watch Y/n get a bullet through his skull. But the worse out of everything he been through, the bastard also had the berce to take his daughter, Rosemary as well.

He tried to fight back, but was knocked out by the soldiers as he was dragged out to an unknown place. Though some unknown means, the truck he and his "deceased" friend were in duffer a huge crash below in a forest. Y/n, soon later woke up and healed his head wound before going to Ethan.

At first, the dark blonde man was in utter shock seeing Y/n alive and well. Y/n woke up earlier and looted the dead soldiers for supplies and weapons for himself and Ethan. He would use his Blacklight..but boy's not the time yet. Ethan wasn't ready to see yet.

[Now]
The two men were in the cold forest, with Ethan clamping his hand together as he blew onto them hoping to warm them as they made it further into the snow-covered woods.

Y/n: There's gotta be a shack or something to keep us a bit warm from the cold.

Y/n was hearing rustles in the trees and branches. They continued to walk ever more cautiously.

Ethan: What the hell is out there?

Out of the oblivion a few rocks fell down in front of the two men. Ethan jumped back, startled by it. Ok, now there was definitely something out here.

Ethan walked around the rocks. One was decently larger than the others, there were a few but not very much. He and Y/n continued to walk up the path. She came across a wired fence. The gap below looked like she could fit through but she would have to move the wire enough so she could fit.

Ethan bent his knees as he put his left hand up against the wire and moved it up, out of the way. He and Y/n crouched underneath the fence. Once they was through the fence, Ethan let go of the wire, but it scratched his palm, making it bleed minorly. Ethan looked at his hand, it was a minor cut and wouldn't do much to the hand.

[Hand owned: 1]

The two was coming up in a small gap where the trees seemed separated from each other. They then saw dead crows all over the place. Blood stained in the snow.

Y/n: That's disturbing.

Ethan gagged a bit from the smell. It reeked. Y/n and him stepped over the bird carcasses. There were hanging carcasses too.

Ethan: You gotta be kidding me.

Y/n: I really hope we are not into some cult.

They pushed past the hanging dead birds. Ethan felt the he was just about out of it until a "dead" crow started to flail and scream.

[CRO! CRO! CRO!]

Ethan jumped from it. He felt sorry for it. He would cut it down but he didn't have anything to cut with. He had to leave the poor animal.

Y/n: Come here, little buddy.

Ethan watched as Y/n reached forward and grabs a hild of the crow to stop it from moving. He then takes out a knife to cut the wires that us binding it in the air. He got it free and set it on the ground gently, but sees that it's injured.

Ethan: Are you gonna put it out of it's misery?

Y/n: No.. I'm gonna grant it new life..

Before Ethan can even question what Y/n just said, he gets the shock of his life as he witnesses a glowing red/black fluid-like substance coming out of his hands and enter the injured crow. The bird twitched as the mass begins to cover the crow all over until it solidified to resemble some sort of a egg

The new created egg then wiggled for a few seconds before it then exploded to reveal the crows new look and appearance.

The crow now had pinkish flesh, scraggly metal-like feathers, have batlike wings under their falling feathers on both sides, and gnarled skull-like faces. It's now wingspan is approximately two meters and they have enough sufficient bulk to knock a helicopter out of the sky. They resemble the appearance of vultures.

Ethan looked perplexed at what Y/n had done to the crow, with the creature now on his arm as it nuzzled it's head on it's new master.

Y/n: That's much better.

Ethan: Y/n..what did you just do??

Y/n: Remember how I said that I was a special kind of human?

He raise his hand as the BlackLight Virus spewed out and swirled around his arm, which made Ethan jumo back in shock.

Ethan: I-is that the-

Y/n: BlackLight Virus? Yes. And it also the reason why that shot to the head, didn't kill me.

There was a loud noise heard from on top of a hill. Like snow falling down.

Y/n: We should keep moving. *to the bird* For now on, you will be called Stryker. Fly up and let me know if there's a village nearby.

The newly named Stryker then cawed and flew up to do it's masters bidding.

The two men stepped down from a small rock. The growls and shuffling noises from whatever was out there grew more frequent. The two pushed past a few branches and twigs but they easily broke in half and apart.

The men continued their way through the forest. Y/n could hear water flowing close by. It was a small ambience but it could be heard.

[RAGGHH!!]

Ethan stopped dead in his tracks. He swore he just saw a humanoid creature run past in front of him. It wasn't his imagination that's for sure. He knew she saw something.

Ethan: *to Y/n* Did you hear that?

Y/n: Whatever it is..doesn't really want us here. We better keep walking.

They heard more in the distance. And they were getting louder. Meaning whatever was making those noises, were getting closer.

Ethan didn't think twice before he walked at a faster pace with Y/n catching up. He saw a wooden bridge that went over a small creek. Y/n and Ethan crossed it without thinking about stopping. Ethan saw a wooden cabin. But it wasn't that small, it was large for a wooden cabin. The growls and rustling got louder.

Ethan didn't want to barge into the cabin if people were in it. They would think he and Y/n were intruders. So instead of barging in, even though he felt like he really needed to, Ethan pushed the door open with his left hand slowly. The door creaked a bit from being open. It was dark inside.

A rat startled the man as it ran outside of the door that Ethan opened. He looked around to see if anyone was home.

Y/n: Hello. Anyone here?

But everything seemed like it was just left. They didn't bother to pack anything. Did they flee or something?

Ethan looked around for anything useful. Or any clues of where to find Rose. He walked over to a juror. He opened it only to find nothing of good use. There was rope, a few notes, some old pencils. But nothing that could help her.

Ethan just left it open and continued to search for any other clues. Y/n could hear water dripping from a faucet. He went to it. The drain was full, and the water looked dirty. He turned the handle off which stopped the water from dripping. Y/n walked away from the faucet. The man wondered if...whatever made those noises were still out there.

Ethan and Y/n decided to go down to the basement. May not be the smartest idea, but they noticed stained blood on the floor that led to the basement. Someone could be down there and needed help.

The two cautiously approached the staircase. Ethan couldn't hear anything down there. But he took a step down the stairs. It creaked loudly. Ethan hesitated for a moment, but he and the Blacklight user continued to take steps down the stairs.

They got down to the basement, the walls were made of stone. There were many wooden shelves, carts, and even some pictures. But Ethan saw a symbol that resembled that of a Flower with two swords going through it.

Y/n: Huh, nice artwork.

They continued to look around the basement. Y/n saw a picture fallen on its face. He picked up the frame of it, it revealed a woman, almost the likes of a goddess. Though it was hard to tell since it was a bit foggy. He set down the photo standing upright. They then heard some rustling inside the shelf at the end of the basement. It had blood on the doors. Ethan approached with caution.

He grabbed the handles, took a deep breath before he opened it at a decent speed, only to find another rat as it scampered off of the shelf. It startled and surprised Ethan.

Ethan: So many rats in this house, all at the same time..

Y/n: It's obvious that there's nothing here for us to use. Whatever attack this place, must've done a shit ton of damage. We should head back outside.

Ethan agreed and left the shelf doors open. They was about to head back upstairs and leave until there was glass shattering and a lot of destruction happening up on the base floor.

Ethan was yet again startled by the loud noise. Something was in the house. Whatever it was, it sure was looking for something..or them. The two men continued their way back to the stairs. But they had to be careful to do so. Whatever was up there, could still be there.

Y/n could see the stairs. He could hear the shelves fall still.

Y/n: Something is here..

Ethan: Dear God..

They walked up the stairs further. Ethan caught in the corner of his eye, a shelf fell on it's side more, which blocked their way from getting out. However, he noticed a small gap under the shelf.

Just enough for them to fit through. Y/n and Ethan crouched down then crawled through the hole. There were a few cardboard boxes in the way including a plastic box as well. Ethan just pushed the cardboard box out of the way. Ethan looked at her hand, it was all bloody. He looked around at the damage.

Ethan: What did all this?

It somehow eases his tension when he talks to herself. But to others, it may be weird. But if you're alone in the middle of nowhere, looking for your daughter or even trying to find her kidnappers, then maybe talking to yourself wouldn't be all that awkward.

Ethan also saw that daylight was starting to make its breaking point. They continued to crawl out from underneath the shelf. He pushed the plastic box out of the way since it was blocking their path.

Y/n: How long could we be out here?

Once they were out from underneath the shelf, Y/n and Ethan got back on their feet. There was a hole in the side of the cabin. Must have been whatever caused all this damage to burst through the wall. Ethan walked out through the wall. The snowy forest was cold. His jacket helped a bit, but not very much.

Ethan: How are you not cold?

Y/n: My Blacklight helps me adapt to my surroundings.

The Blacklight user then heard his new flyer companion screech as Y/n looks up to see Stryker flying above them.

Y/n: Have you found a village nearby?

Stryker cawed in a way Y/n understood yes.

Y/n: Looks like he has. Let's go.

They follow the Flyer as they climbed over a wooden fence that seemed to be quite old. But it held surprisingly. Y/n and Ethan went through a revine. Once they got out of the revine, the two saw a massive Castle. The biggest one they'd ever seen.

Down below the castle's view, was a village.

But many of the structures seemed destroyed. Y/n could see a windmill off to the southwest side of the village.

A factory outside of the north side of the village.

But the castle was beautiful. Never had they seen such a marvel. Whoever had built that castle, must have taken decades. Ethan couldn't even imagine what the insides looked like. Or even if anyone lived there. But, next thing..he and Y/n heard a bell ringing coming from the castle. So there were definitely people in there.

Y/n: Who would still be here?

But the village on the other hand looked completely abandoned. They didn't see any villagers or livestock. Where was everybody?

This must be where Rose is. Somewhere? Either in the Castle. Or somewhere in the village. But on the other side of the hand, she could be in neither.

All Ethan had to do was look. But he didn't want to trespass. That would cause some unwanted problems. But he had no other choice.

Ethan took a few steps towards the village until he lost his footing. He would've hurt himself if Y/n never managed to grab onto him while using his hand, now morphed into a claw to help them slide down a rock hill smoothly.

They got to the bottom of the small rock hill and observed the damaged worn-out village.

Y/n: The cabin we were in weren't the only thing that got damaged. From the looks of this village..it looks like it's either been bad weather, raided..or attacked by something.

Once they got to their feet, the two looked around. There were many houses. But they all seemed abandoned. Ethan examined the house's structure. They seemed stable, despite being decades old. He saw many dead animal corpses. A poor horse was a meal to whatever caused its death.

Y/n walked over to the horse corpse and examined the bite marks and slashes. This beast was attacked by what seemed to be sharp human bite marks. But no human would leave these kinds of teeth. The jawline of the bite was too short to be a wolf or a bear. Besides, a regular human jaw force couldn't even break through a horse's hide. So whatever caused this animal's death, was surely human-like, but in a way that she didn't want to think about.

Y/n stood up from crouching as he and Ethan continued to look around for any villagers. But there wasn't anyone. Where the hell is everybody?

Y/n: *yells* Hello?! Anyone here?

Ethan: I'm gonna check inside.

Ethan went into a house as he pushed open the door. He looked around for any signs of people. He did however find a pot of soup. Looking like the ciorbe de legume that Mia made back at their house. Before she was killed.

But where was her body at when the van crashed? It wasn't there. Did those things in the forest take his body? If that was the case then why was he, Y/n and the other corpses left alone?

But Ethan couldn't think about that now. He needed to find Rose or even what the hell is going on. He looked around for anything else, but there was nothing.

Y/n heard something outside. As in, something was being dragged. He took a peek out the window, she saw the horse being dragged but the man could not see what was dragging it.

Y/n: What the..

He was confused about what was out there. He made his way back to the outside next to the Ethan. They  saw the horse's corpse laying next to the fence entrance. What took it to the side of the village?

They only saw it for a split second then it was dragged around the corner from an unseen force.

Ethan: Where'd it go? *turns to Y/n* Should we follow it?

Y/n: We might as well. Maybe there are some people here.

They followed the trail where the horse was dragged, but the horse or whatever dragged it vanished. On their way down the trail, there were goat heads hanging from the tree branches.

Ethan: What the hell happened to you guys?

Y/n: Maybe it's was in a form of ritual to appease someone.

Ethan: Appease someone?

Y/n: Think about it. With the big castle we saw, there's probably a Monarch watching over the village here.

Ethan and Y/n continued through the trail. They passed a tractor that seemed broken down and decades old. A destroyed wagon which seemed wild west style. The two men passed many things but none of which had people.

Ethan: *thinking* Where was everyone?

They eventually made way to a house that seemed to have lanterns all over it. Ethan was about to walk through the door until she heard a tree branch snap.

He turned quickly in the direction of the snapped tree. It fell to the ground in the snow. Ethan was startled by it, but he brushed it off and pushed the door open for him and Y/n to enter.

Ethan: Hello. Anybody here? Where was everyone?

Ethan saw a knife lying on a small shelf. Probably better take it. It might be useful. He took the knife off the shelf and examined it. Strong handle, sharp blade, lightweight, but all in all. It was handy.

He walked around into what seemed to be the living room. It had a kitchen, a dining table, and what seemed to be a closet covered by a blanket. He looked around to see if anyone could still be here.

Y/n: Did they just leave?

The Blacklight user then heard a can fall from the closet as it rolled out from the blanket that covered it. Y/n approached the closet, as he grabbed the blanket by the end and pulled it aside….

[BAAM!!]

A gunshot was fired at him but miraculously missed.

Y/n: Woah, woah! *holds up arms in the air* Friendly….Friendly.

The man who shot the gun was an elder. He wore a brownish cap, with a leather brownish coat.

He also saw Ethan and aimed his weapon onto the man, who raised his arms too.

Old Man: Who are you? Who sent you?

Ethan: Sorry for barging in but my name is Ethan.

Y/n: I'm Y/n. And no one sent us there was an accident down on the road and-

He was cut off by howls. But not wolf howls. They were very similar but more menacing, ominous, louder, starting at a low pitch then ending in a high pitch.

Y/n: What's going-

Y/n was cut off when the elder put his hand over his mouth to stop him from talking. He didn't do it as a rude gesture, but it was so that whatever was outside wouldn't hear him. The old man continued to look up at the ceiling with a worried expression.

The howls continued as it sounded like a pack of creatures was outside. When the howls stopped, the elder looked at Y/n with an even more worried expression. He took his hand off his mouth and went to look at a small window. He looked through it trying to look upwards.

Old Man: Oh no! *looks at Y/n and Ethan* They're coming...

Ethan: Who is? What was that?

Old Man: Do you have a gun?

Y/n: What?

Old Man: Please tell me you have guns.

Y/n: Y-yeah. We do. *takes out his Samurai Edge*

Ethan takes out his pistol as everyone started to hear wood breaking as it was coming from inside the attic. In the midst of that she could her shuffling of low growls.

The elder aimed his gun at the ceiling and seemed to panic a bit. He constantly looked around for...whatever was out there.

Y/n and Ethan had their pistols ready incase whatever was out there would show itself. But when Ethan asked the Elder what was out there, he didn't respond. The man jumped as he shot the gun at something behind the two men. But when Ethan turned around nothing was there.

He put rifle bullets down on the table to reload. They scattered across the table. The elder man scrambled to grab at least two of them.

Y/n: Hey are you listening?

The old man continued to scramble for the bullets. Out of the oblivion, something large grabbed the old man by his head pulling him up into the ceiling.

Y/n and Ethan had little time to react to try and grab the elder by his leg but he was long gone. They touched his leg, but they wasn't able to grab it as he completely disappeared above. Silence was occured until blood came down from the hole.

Y/n: Dear God..

Ethan: What the hell?!

In a few minutes, they was just with a normal person, but now whoever that was, was now dead. By whatever is in this village.

Y/n: I think we should go.

Agreeing with Y/n, they started backing to the door. All of a sudden, the floor broke open as Ethan felt something grab his calve. It came from under the floor. He looked down immediately to see a dark white platinum arm wrapped around her leg. He was then dragged under the floor.

Y/n: Ethan!

Y/n didn't have time to chase after his friend as the door broke open as something grabbed him. He looked back to see a gray humanoid monster

This creature bite bit onto Y/n's right shoulder, drawing blood.

Y/n: Get the fuck off me!!

Y/n morphs his left hand into a Claw and stabs them through the creatures eyes and face, getting it to back off. He then used his enhanced strength to perform a spartan kick to kick the thing outside hard.

[With Y/n]
The Blacklight user then barged out the house as he sees the creature he threw outside getting up. He looked closer as he then knew what the thing was.

Y/n: A Lycan?

The beast starred, in fascination almost, as the biomass is healing and regenerating Y/n's shoulder wound like it's nothing.

Y/n let out a groan before looking at the beast. It look on and saw that his eyes were not their usual brown, but instead were glowing orange-red with rage and determination. So, with a roar of fury, the beast charges.

But Y/n saw this coming and charged at the beast with an incredible speed that left a small indentation of his foot when he launched. The beast launches itself to tackle him, but the man ducks down low, avoiding the claws and grabs the waist and keeps charging until he smashes the back onto the boulder.

The boulder cracked by the sheer force of the hit, while the Blacklight user heard a satisfying whimper coming from the beast before letting go and delivering a series of punches to the stomach and chest.

The beast tries to fight back, but couldn't as Y/n viciously slams it to the ground and stomps at its face with a terrifying amount of force. He continues this as the biomass starts acting up around him and the dead body. The biomass clings and works itself in the body and starts absorbing the whole body.

After consuming the body, for the first time in 4 years..Y/n gains a memory from the consumed  monster.

[Memory]

F-father...Where's mama?" A little boy's voice rang through his head.

The tone was filled with fear and worry. The father looks back at his child holding a gun while both of them are in what looks to be an old abandoned house.

"Don't worry, Xavier. Your mother would be here. Once she does, we're leaving this village." The father said to his son, before quickly aiming his gun and shooting towards the direction where he heard a noise from out of sheer panic and fright.

The guns' loud shot Echoed through the house, bringing dead silence afterwards.

"Wait here." The father said, making Xavier nod as he approached the direction.

Cold bead of sweat trickles down his forehead as his breathing becomes heavy. His heart pounded through his chest as he went closer before opening the door.

What he saw made him drop his gun in shock and horror. On the other side of the door, where he shot, was his wife. Her surprised and shocked filled expression drilled into his mind, before falling down.

"No, no,no,no,no,no!" The father yelled in panic as he looked at the damage he had caused. "Oh mother Miranda, what have I done!" He cried as he applied pressure to the wind, but the blood was too much.

"F-father?" Xavier stuttered in fright on his dying mothers body, before letting out a scream, as wolf-like men burst in the house.

"FATHER!?" Xavier shouted, getting the fathers attention back.

"Xavier!" the father said, but was then knocked away and dragged back.

"Let me go, you bastards! Don't you dare hurt him, my son!" The father said as he tried to fight back, but was then knocked out.

The last scene shows the father being turned with an unknown substance, experimented on, and was left for dead when proven incompentent.

[Memory End]

Y/n breathed as he felt what the father had to go through after they had taken his son away. It felt similar to his parents during the Outbreak in New York. He felt his pain, his torment, his humanity being stripped away piece by piece. He can feel every ounce of those silent hopes and prayers shattered as he was turned into the beast.

Y/n: This man deserved better. All of these villagers did. Whoever did this..needs to pay. *hears Ethan screaming* Oh, shit, I better get back to the house.

The man runs back into the house in hopes that his friend is still alive..

[With Ethan]*10 minutes earlier*
The man groaned back into consciousness after being dragged underneath by the monster that killed the old man. He couldn't see because it was pitch black. He turned on his flashlight that was on his chest. When it turned on, he saw a dead body with bloody marks all over his face.

Ethan gasped and jumped a bit. He looked at the corpse with disbelief and some fear.

Ethan: A Dead body?

There was more. The entire room from underneath the house was filled with corpses. Female and Male. Children and Elder. Young adults and babies. None of them were Rose, thank god.

Ethan: Holy shit.

The man was crouched as he maneuvered away from the corpse that was in front of her. She needed to find a way out of this place. Before whatever was down here found her.

Ethan stayed crouched, trying to hear or see any hostiles. He came across a body that was leaned up against the wall. It was slouched but all the same dead and motionless. Ethan gently grabbed it's forehead and moved it back up to the wall. The mouth was drooling stained blood.

Ethan: Oh my God.

He looked around only to see more corpses. There were so many. Was this the entire village? No...No there had to be more people alive.

Ethan: What happened to all of you?

A corpse fell in front of him. Startled, Ethan jumped a bit from the corpse. Something had moved it. But what? Ethan was about to brush it off and go back to getting the hell out, but then something grabbed his left hand and bit down on his pinkie and ring finger.

Ethan fell on his back as he saw the creature on top of him. It was humanoid, it had grey skin coloring with orange eyes. It had a torn up shirt with black hair that was long on all sides.

Ethan: Get the Fuck off of me!

After that, the monster jerked its head back like a predator and tore off half of his fingers.

[Press "F" to pay respect to Ethan's left hand]

It roared loud, while Ethan was in pain and fear. Ethan looked at his hand as it twitched and shock. It had a massive opening from the monster when it tore off his fingers, on his left hand.

The creature however wasn't done. It grabbed Ethan by the throat and threw him through the wall. He smashed out of the wooden wall and landed in the snow. He looked at his left hand which was still bleeding out. It shaked and twitched.

Ethan: Shit! What the Fuck was that!?

There was a massive hole that was created when the monster threw Ethan out of the wall. The monster was walking out of the darkness. Growling and hissing in the making.

Ethan: Stay back!

She aimed it at the creature. There was no way of talking sense into these things. The monster muffled growls at Ethan as it took no intimidation from guns. Ethan learned from The Baker house to aim for the heads. It always gets them.

Ethan aimed the pistol at the monster. He tried to pull the trigger but it wouldn't budge. The safety was still turned on. Ethan turned off the safety but the monster got close enough to him, grabbed his by the legs, and did a short rodeo as it threw him into a locked gate that was chained up. He grunted in pain as his side hit the gate.

Ethan struggled to get back on his feet. But he managed it. Soon after, the man quickly aimed for the monster's head and pulled the trigger.

[BANG!]

The pistol fired as it hit the monster square in the face. It flinched as it fell backwards a bit but remained on its feet. It roared in anger but Ethan could tell that it worked. He fired another shot again but this time at it's right knee. Causing the monster to fall on its knees.

Ethan put his pistol back in the holster and pulled out the knife he got earlier. The man rushed at the monster, which was trying to recover from being shot in the knee. Ethan kicked the creature in the face as it fell on it's back. Ethan was about to jump on it and stab it in the head but it got back up very quickly as it flanked him to the left.

Ethan got into a defensive position, ready for the monster. The monster seemed to flank again, but this time towards him. It grabbed Ethan by his shoulders, it was about to clamp it's jaws on his shoulder. But Ethan stabbed the creature in the neck which stopped it dead in its tracks. Ethan pulled out the knife then kicked the monster in the gut forcing it back on the floor.

The monster seemed dead for a moment. There was blood on Ethan's right hand. But it wasn't hers. It was the monsters. The corpse of the monster was now turning white. Soon enough the body had been crystalized and had fallen apart.

Meaning it was actually dead. But that meant that these monsters were similar to the Mold in Louisiana. Was this Village plagued by the same Mold in Louisiana? Ethan managed to kill one, but he only had 8 bullets left in his pistol and the whole village was probably full of them.

He needed to find Rose or any other survivors. She walked back over to the chained gate.

???: Ethan!

The man turned to see Y/n coming his way

Y/n: You alright?

Ethan: Yeah. What about you?

Y/n: I'm alright. Had a tussle with these damn lycans that ambushed us. *looks at his left hand* Shit, they must've took a chunk of your left hand.

Ethan noticed that his left hand had stopped bleeding majorly, but needed to find something to wrap a bandage around before infection occurs.

Y/n: Let me see if there are bandages nearby.

Y/n looks around to see of there is any medical boxes nearby. He sees one, almost completely broken near a shelf and goes to it. He opens it, only to see bandaged wraps.

Y/n: It'll have to do.

Y/n grabs them and walks towards the dark blonde man.

Y/n: Gimme your left hand. I'll wrap it up.

Ethan obliged as he raised his hand up for Y/n. The man took out the first aid spray and sprayed on the wound, closing it up further. He then wrapped the bandages around the wounded area and closed them together, but not too tight to restrict it's movement.

Y/n: It should be enough.

Ethan looked at his now bandaged hand..

Ethan: Thanks.

Y/n: Sure. Now, what?

Ethan: I have to find Rose. Maybe there's a chance she could be in here.

Y/n: *looks at the castle* We could try checking the castle up there. This village is a no go.

Erhan: Alright. Let's go.

The two men then decided to traverse towards the large castle estate, but unknowingly would face more danger head to none.

[With Meryl]
She came across two dead bodies, belongings to Chris Reinfield's group. Meryl picked Y/n's scent from the trucks, but it led forward deep in the forest.

Meryl: So, Y/n and Ethan managed to survive the crash. *looks where the light is shining* There should be a village further away.

She then continued her path to look for her husband and Ethan.

[Someplace else]
Mother Miranda was deep in underground heading towards a certain area. She felt something strong enter this village.

Miranda: This power..why does feel..burdening?

She stopped walking, seeing that she is now in the area she needed to be. She looked up high, staring at the grotesque looking thing latched onto the walls: The Megamycete.

The Megamycete was the core of a Mold super-colony that existed beneath a mountainous region in Eastern Europe, located in a cavern beneath a rural village. This organism was enormous and took on the rough shape of a human foetus. Countless Mold tendrils extended from the root, branching out through the rock and soil.

Any organisms that made physical contact with the Mold would have their genetic code assimilated by the fungus. In the case of humans, their DNA and even their memories would be absorbed and stored within the Megamycete. Countless human consciousnesses were assimilated and stored within the Megamycete, primarily when the Mold absorbed human corpses that had been buried in the area.

This thing also contributed to the creation of Eveline, the infection of the Baker Family, Mia..and Ethan Winters himself.

Miranda: My Eva..I will see to it that you return in my arms.

She then looked down in her arms, looking at the sleeping Rosemary Winters. She felt hidden power inside the infant and felt that she could be the one.

Miranda: This child will be the answer..
