A/N: Welcome to chapter four! This chapter is the final chapter of the first arc, or the Nascence Arc, of Le Mère des Champignons. Nascence is centered around Grian, following his story, or at least part of it. 

Nascence: A beginning. 

The next arcs are going to have their own individual characters that they're centered around. 

5-9 Arc 2 [Confluence] - Etho

10-13 Arc 3 [Threshold] - xB

14-20 Arc 4 [Descent] - Mumbo 

21-25 Arc 5 [Apotheosis] - Bdubs

26-27 Arc 6 [Atonement] - Epilogue(s)

I'm looking forward to writing these chapters ahead of us! I have an outline and I've planned out nearly all of the plot points >:)

Sit tight and snuggle in!

Sharp and horrific pain brings Grian back into consciousness. 

His eyes snap open to embrace the light of pre-dawn, yet he does not try to sit up. Dazed, he turns his head to his right. 

The small, yellow dandelion smiles at him, almost dancing in the golden light. It gives the man a taste of hope.

However, that little glimmer of hope evaporates as he remembers the lichen. He sits up, much to his discomfort, reaching his right arm behind him to feel the patch. As he does so, he notices that small, brown mushrooms have begun to sprout from his arm. A dull ache radiates from the source, similar to that of the site of a vaccination, and nausea pools in his stomach.
