When Isiah disposed of those corpses in the river he got back to his place immediately, he was afraid that he might be surrounded by hellhounds in a short amount of time, so he returned to his place after he got some grass and a few rotten fruits in the world beyond.
Something inside of him changed and the scary part was that he knew that, yet he chose not to admit it.
Yes, the grass was not tasty, yes, those rotten fruits were disgusting but what he tried to hide more than anything was that he was craving for something different .
That urge came to life after he killed the first armored knight, yet all he thought about was that maybe his rage at the moment got mixed with that feeling, but after today he knew that something was wrong with him .
He would think about food when he is in the middle of death and life situations, nobody yet he was thinking about that .
Isiah slapped his face when he remembered that toxic feeling that got into him at that moment, and he immediately put a little grass inside of his mouth and started to chew it slowly.
It tasted terrible as if someone peed on him, yet he forced himself to swallow it when he was about to vomit .

He was terrified about this new realization, he started sweating the more he moved, and the more he thought about that idea, the more it started to ache.
He tried to walk fast to the zone he was in, he thought to himself 'Maybe if I am there, the only thing I would think about is the fuc***ing sea and nothing more, maybe if I enter that field of attraction I would be so focused on jumping there and not thinking about this '
Isiah hurried more so he reached that shore faster than he thought, he went to the closest point there to the sea and sat with his legs crossed.
Eijar was not that close to the sea so she crawled toward him after she took a moment to see his body, apparently, with her being here she was too focused to not jump more than to think about him, and that is why she didn't join him back then .
Isiah looked at her at that moment then said:" Tell me what are the side effects of me being here? Apparently, there is more than the change in my core. Make a list , I don't care, just tell me what is happening to me ? "
Eijar was so close to him this time, she raised her head then looked at all his injuries then said:" You had a fight ? How was it? Please tell me that all that hard work paid off ? "
Isiah didn't reply to her, so she added:" Your energy is trembling inside of you, what is happening to you !"
She started to feel that his dark energy was not stable so she added:" What is happening to you ? "
Isiah looked at her glowing yellowish eyes then said: " There is something different since I killed a few dark creatures earlier"
"You killed a few? I see you have gotten better, I see "
" I am telling you I feel a different type of pain, I feel …"He shouted at her.
" You are adjusting, " She interrupted him before he was able to finish his sentence.
Isiah bowed his head because a new wave of pain started to spread inside of his body .
" You should have eaten them!" She said with a concerned look in her eyes.
Eijar was usually treating him sarcastically, she used to help him but not genuinely but because of the contract and her safety, she never cared about him sincerely, her only purpose was to survive.

Isiah opened his eyes with a troubled look on his face, he felt like she insulted him when she said those words, and her reply made him realize that she knew that she was expecting that from him after killing those creatures.
" This is a normal thing around here ! "She tried to assure him when she saw that look in his eyes .
Isiah was not happy with what she said, he yelled at her immediately telling her to shut up then said:" Eat flesh! What do you take me for ? You, stupid snake"
Eijar moved back from him because he was so angry, and she feared that he might throw her away like usual but he didn't instead he just put his hand upon his neck and started to press a little bit, he was suffocating himself but the more he pressed there his sore gorge didn't hurt that much.
Eijar said when she saw him doing that:" That's how things work around here, expect this getting harder to control the more you kill anyone, it is not going to stop, it will make you miserable a day after another "
Isiah just grind his teeth trying to suppress all the words he wanted to say to her, he wanted to curse and even throw her away but he didn't
Eijar turned around and said: " Can I bring you some! You will only feel better after that, trust me I know what I am doing here "
Isiah only ignored what she was saying and instead of standing he just lay down on the dark sand and closed his eyes, he didn't even notice that he slept in a baby position, he was too tired and hungry and this new urge to eat what he kills made him go crazy
' I can't do this, even as a human I couldn't eat animals and now I have to eat dead bodies? I am not a cannibal and I will never be one ' He thought then he fell asleep right away
