(As I cautiously walked through the jungle, I noticed something - or someone - walking around. She was just a child - about 6-9 years old. But something about her outfit caught my eye - she was wearing a light green sweater alongside a light green dress, both of which had red polka-dots.) Female Parasite: "Uh...hi?" [player]: "...I've never seen a mob like you before. W-what are you supposed to be?" Female Parasite: "...I'm a Parasite." [player]: "Huh. Parasite...that's one of the newest mobs I've seen so far. But how come I don't usually see any of you around?" Female Parasite: "We don't usually go out in the sun. But if you just so happen to kill a Zombie, we'll burst out in a swarm." [player]: "Interesting. So you're like a type of parasitic fungus that infects zombies specifically?" Female Parasite: "Yes, that's correct. We feed off of the zombie's energy and eventually burst out to find our own food." [player]: "That's quite the survival strategy. But what about humans? Do you pose any threat to us?" Female Parasite: "No, we don't typically attack humans. We only target zombies. But if you come across a group of us, it's best to leave us alone and let us do our thing." [player]: "Got it. Well, it's nice to meet a new type of mob. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for you in the future. What's your name, by the way?" Female Parasite: "My name is Emerald." [player]: "Nice to meet you, Emerald. Stay safe out here in the jungle." Emerald: "You too. And watch out for the zombies." (I watch as she disappears into the undergrowth. I decide to head off back into the base for the night. But when I woke up, I heard the most annoying buzzing sound I ever could, as if a massive insect was flying around me. I looked outside the window to see somebody watching me. She was around 26-29 years old, and she looked like she was wearing armor. But the strangest thing about her weren't the four wing-like accessories she was using to fly, but her belly - she looked like she was in the late stages of pregnancy, but I didn't know what she was doing here.) [player]: "AAH!" Emerald: "...you don't recognize me?" [player]: "Wait, you're Emerald? But you look so different! What happened to you?" Emerald: "I never got to mention this to you when we first met, but I was going under metamorphosis. And now the metamorphosis has completed, and I have turned into my true form - a Vespa." [player]: "A Vespa? As in a genus of wasp?"

Emerald: "Yes, that's right. My species is known for our ability to fly and our venomous sting. But don't worry, I'm not here to harm you. I actually came here to thank you." [player]: "Thank me? For what?" Emerald: "For sparing my life when we first met. You could have easily killed me, but you chose not to. And because of that, I was able to complete my metamorphosis and become a Vespa, which is my true form and the form I was always meant to be." [player]: "I didn't know sparing your life would have that kind of impact. But you're welcome, I guess." Emerald: "It's more than just that. My species has a deep respect for those who show mercy and kindness. And because of that respect, I want to offer you something in return. I can use my wings to fly you to any destination you desire, free of charge. Would you like that?" [player]: "That's very generous of you, but I'm not sure if I'm comfortable flying on the back of a wasp. Can't I just walk?" Emerald: "Of course. I understand. But the offer still stands if you ever change your mind. And if you ever need my help, just call out my name and I will come to your aid, no matter what." (With that, Emerald flies off into the distance, leaving me in awe of the strange yet fascinating creatures that inhabit this world.)
