PJO Apocalypse

(1st stage: They start to show signs of sickness, their brains turn numb, their intelligence starts to diminish, they cannot spread the infection.* *2nd stage: They start attacking people and infecting them at this stage, the epidermis and dermis exfoliates, revealing black tree-like “roots” that grow out of holed skin. Their pupils widen and turn black.* *3rd stage: They start to become violent in this stage, the roots slow down their movements for a bit, but still have the ability to infect you, and in rare cases, end you, if you come in contact with them.* *4th stage: Their body hardens into a cocoon whilst black liquid spills from the cocoon, which can spread infection. Death of the infected is prominent in this stage.* *5th stage: If they come out of their cocoon, they shall become like the gods, their intelligence overtaken by infectious instincts—their speed and strength overwhelming even the bravest and brightest of soldiers.)
