Vilous Web-comic / Web-manga
Episode 4: The Twelve Plainswalkers / 12人ぼっちの平原
Place: Northern lands - Astna Plains
Timeline: TBD
Vilous comic/manga is made in omnibus form, for showing Vilous worldview along the history on Vilous Chronology.
Note: all of our comics are read from right to left, which is typical of manga style literature.
While Little Stub-Tail successfully rescues Little Weaver, Little Stub-Tail's own foot slips into the closing gap and gets stuck instead. The other tribemates desperately attempt to pull Little Stub-Tail free, but alas they are too late. With sad dismay, Little Stub-Tail watches as something strange begins to creep across their foot before quickly spreading up their leg.
Little Stub-Tail realizes their cruel fate and explains that they their entire body will soon become petrified, which will kill them once the process is complete. As Little Stub-tail has always been more concerned with others over themself, they urge the others to leave them behind so that the tribe can instead use their remaining energy to continue their escape.
In Little Stub-Tail's remaining moments, they mention how happy they are to have been able to save Little Weaver. With no regrets, the dying sergal accepts their fate, content with giving their life to protect the tribe.

Hexnose Forest Petrification
To explain what is happening to poor Little Stub-Tail, we must first look back to the article, "The relation between Sieg and meals". In the article, it is explained that some species of Talyxian organisms, whether delayed or immediate, can infect the Eltus body and cause permanent or even lethal changes in their form. These Talyxian infections can change cells from inside an Eltus person's body without anyone noticing, including the victim themself. But sometimes it may occur rapidly with clearly observable impact such as what is happening to Little Stub-Tail.
In this particular situation, the trees are turning Little Stub-Tail's body into a stone-like material. The horrific phenomenon demonstrated in this forest is brought on by Hexnose trees which have a very alien and strange nature to them. Due to the trees’ metabolism activating during movement, what is normally a static and benign nature becomes aggressive instead. The rapid movement of the trees also triggers a side-function, which fills any gaps and binds the trees together.
Unfortunately for Little Stub-Tail, when their body was wedged amongst the activated trees, the sergal’s flesh was recognized as an extra gap and the gap-filling function was triggered. This resulted in the poor sergal being rapidly eroded from within by the tree and being converted into the same material as the tree and its surroundings.
While these facts further highlight the dangers present in the Hexnose Forest, it is entirely possible that this is not limited to only this particular forest. It is said that other species of Talyxian trees might also show a similar nature to the Hexnose trees under similar conditions. Thus, extreme caution and vigilance must be exercised at all times when trespassing through any Talyxian forest, as even the trees themselves can inflict an untimely demise.
My comic can be found on my official website www.vilous.net and is usually updated Monday & Fridays.

couldn't the leg be amputated and cauterized? or is it shifting that fast?
Drago and I asked Mick and Coju the same thing as we were working on translating the page and the lore, and we were told that it's just that fast. If they had some heavy duty tools they might be able to pull it off, but they just have some spears and Ekay's sword, which isn't exactly suitable for hacking through bone fast enough to save poor Little Stub-Tail.
Ultimately, it's a plot death -- and a very sad one at that...

Well, I did not know that, but I also thought that even if they managed to amputate his leg, it would probably leave him useless for the rest of his life, and the prosthesis I think he would get in RC 70... so I thought he would not have much sense, no matter how hard I admit it. ':v
Oh yeah, that's a good point. Even if they were freed, they would not be able to run... and the monster would catch them and anyone else that was trying to help them. Basically, it was an injury so severe that they were doomed no matter what. At least this death appears to be mostly painfree, rather than bleeding out or starving to death alone. When weighing all outcomes, this is probably the best fate the poor fella could have chosen.
No matter what, it's so sad... ;n;

Well here is another little sergal... they should have made a monument to this serial to General Rain. ':v
R.I.P: Little Stub-Tail.
Good Work, Keep it up. ='D

reminds me of the forest scene from ff9 where everything was being petrified as they escaped
YES!!! I was thinking the SAME EXACT THING!! I even showed a pic of it to Mick and she said she loved FF9. She didn't say it was her inspiration, but yeah we noticed that too! Good memory! Respect!!
Even without inspiration its just a neat little nostalgia still, accidental nostalgia heh
Well fuck, now I have to unsub because you killed more of those innocent lil ones. Blyat.
Sorry to see you go, but yeah... Vilous wilderness is a terrifying place. Some have called it "Space Australia" which isn't too far off. Though to me it feels more like Pandora in James Cameron's Avatar.
I'm going to pretend he doesn't die for my sanity's sake.
The good news is that according to their beliefs, they are only passing on from the physical realm, and will continue to be with them and rejoin them all in spirit.
It's still sad, I've grown fond of these little sergals. I hate to admit if it would've been one of the Agudners I wouldn't have felt it as much.
This planet sounds like half of it needs to be razed and reterraformed...jesus
It gets better. This was the role of General Rain that is coming up next -- banding these little tribes together to fight back against this menace.
At this point Rain's invasion south makes more and more sense. Get away from this hell no matter how many lives it costs on either sides. The South might be strange and unusual but it's not everything and everything wants to kill you in horrific ways.
Whatever introduced this Talyaxians to the biome and corrupted it has to be some sort of invader... or this some ancient weapon gone horrifically wrong.
