Welcome to the disease there is no cure for..
[Apocalyptic, partial-skeletal wild equine]
Version III: The Epidemic
The meteor shower ..never ceased. The skies, illuminated by the flaming rock
that pelts the Earths crust relentlessly is like a rain of fire. These masses of meteorite
have had ever lasting effects. The Earth has since began to quiver under our feet, and
earthquakes are becoming a daily event. Slowly, but surely, over nearly a thousand years,
the place we once called home is now eternally different and always changing. The exotic
minerals that broke up during the descent of the meteors patterns the region so densely that
it changed the atmosphere as we once knew it, releasing heavy gases that our lungs could not
handle properly, and they flow to the lower altitudes and pool in a coiling mist. With these
toxic fumes, came a change in the earths temperature and vegetation. With these effects came
disease. And with the diseases, came a new type of evolution.
The Earth is afflicted and decaying, and with it- our flesh. For nearly a thousand
years, the flesh-eating disease has been partially stripping off the hide of the low
landers, also referred to as the infected. Some of us remain on high ground, above the
heavy smog and are unaffected by this epidemic, however each journey we make, we risk hide
and hair- quite literally.
Please remember, and take in to consideration- nothing stops the migration from high to
low and vise versa. The diseased walk among the pure, and the pure with the diseased.
Luckily, once effected, you rarely can spread the disease yourself.. unless of course
through bodily fluids and heavy petting. By now, you are probably wanting to know more about
the high landers. What about these equines who inhabit the higher altitude hillsides and
rockies? Well, the smog does not effect these lucky few directly on a day to day basis,
however this makes them more susceptible to damage when they do journey in to lower
altitudes. The longer periods of time spent in toxic regions, the more likely you are to
contract the disease. It is in the air.. it is in the dew on the grass, and it is.. in the
water. Protect yourself, and those you love. Keep them close.. but not too close. You never
know which of the physically-appearing pure is a genetic carrier.. of the disease.
Welcome... to the apocalypse.
