Dry Bones Rising

Synopsis:
In the wake of the world-shattering catastrophe, two children from very different sides of the Wall emerge from the rubble, alone except for each other. With nothing familiar left, they AGREE on only one point: they gotta find help. But he wants to embark on a journey to a safer place, and she wants to stay, calling upon an ancient POWER to kiss a protective golem to life. When creating a Mud Man doesn't turn out the way she'd hoped, will they two human survivors be able to make a new world together, or will they reap the dire consequences of playing pretend God??
