Corbozite Infecting

Don't be fooled by those sparklies, bad stuff is goin' down...

This is Terrta, the princess of Kamillaro Desert. Her Dad is now dead and she is suffering the same fate...almost.
The vast Kamillaro Desert has long held a devastating secret, a horrifying secret, a shiny purple secret deep below the surface of the sands. This secret is Purple Corbozite - a radioactive crystal of cliche' origins. Only when it becomes active, are the inhabitants aware of it. It poisons the air when active, causing dizziness, unconsciousness and a strange colour change.
How can a simple crystal do so much? Hmm, perhaps there is more to the matter...
