Mei couldn't believe what the laughing Lantern Inn looked like. Her big sister had told her a lot about the fantastic place. About the friends she made and the magic that existed there, but she never expected it to be true.

The sneaker wearing young woman was in awe.

"So this is the place? Seems nice." Mei knocked on the door, only to see it creak open slowly. No one was within, which seemed ominous. "Okay....A little creepy, I guess."

Mei walked in and smelled a horrible scent. It was as if someone or something had just died. The smell made her think something was amiss.

She walked around and saw nothing and no one, yet the door behind her was now shut and sealed by thorny vines.

"Crap...." Mei looked around and saw nothing. She just heard scratching and faint moans. She could hear them coming from upstairs. "Can't go there...Better try over there."

Mei went into a back room and bolted the door shut.  The coast was clear, but the window was sealed by similar thorns.

"’Necro-Botanist's Notes: The Guide to theoretical resurrection through plant life...’" Mei began to read it and slowly started to speak aloud. "'By using cutlets of trees grown by Dryads, I've discovered a portion of their residual life force remains. As trees live far longer than mortals, so too do their guardians. If I could amass said energy and infuse it into a manageable plant, it could eliminate death...'"

Mei flipped ahead a few more pages.

"'Progress has been fair. A new plant, called Rafflesia Mythica has been bred. Its flowers smell horrid, but it has managed to revive corpses, albeit they must be connected to its vines and the zombies are only semi conscious. Must perfect the method.'"

Mei continued to read, noticing a cut off entry.

"'Rafflesia Mythica has grown more wild since I used my own alchemy to give the zombies more life. They have adopted plantlike traits to replace their missing and overly rotted portions. In addition, the Rafflesia itself has grown sentient. It has grown out of control and is trying to create more bodies to control. Thankfully, this place's owner evacuated the building. I'm trying to fend it off while she seeks aid. Fire may be it's one we-'"

That was where the writing trailed off. Mei felt a chill go down her spine. Just how many dead did this Rafflesia thing have?

"Time to do some pruning..." Mei sighed. She looked around to see what she could use. She saw a few pieces of cutlery. All she needed to do was prepare to fight the Corpse Flower.
