The Ape Hollow, Zataheta, found himself perched up on the roof of the Train Station, looking out and watching every single human go about their day, watching them walk past as if there was no care in the world other then their lives. He had no care once, he couldn't remember such a time but it existed, it was something he could never return to.


He could feel that he was close to where he had passed, where he had died and transformed, but for some reason he felt as if there was some sort of barrier, a wall. It was his own mind screaming at him to not go there, it had lost its memories but the imprint of the place, where this Zataheta was born, was close.


As he watched on, he couldn't help but take in a whiff, trying to search for any of those 'Savage' Hollows that might be close, that might be nearby to these fragile Humans. While his own care for them didn't really exist much, he still desired one thing when it came to food, one meal, and that was a Hollow.


"There... Must be... Something..."


He asked himself, his shrill voice striking at the wind with every ounce of hunger that resided within him, of everything, this feeling, this hunger was something he was always able to stave off, but the words of his friend Kana would always return to him. She told Zataheta that he needed to consume another Soul to get stronger, though his own hunger didn't drive him to normal Souls, it drove him to the weaker, the more pathetic Hollows.


"... I think... Are you... One?"


His voice called out as he turned around, taking a good look at a potential target, a smaller Hollow, one that he believed he could easily over power and consume. Despite that, he needed to be careful, and so his muscles started to bulk up, he got a bit larger and ash began to surround him as he let out one mighty roar at this creature, activating his Paquete Líder.


It seemed to be quite Mantis like, not something that Zataheta had seen in his life, or one he really cared for but he would try to consume it regardless. As he held his hands out, stretching his claws as they glowed with reishi along with his own eyes gaining a bright orange glow, he launched at the beast that tried its best to block the strike.Zataheta had managed to grapple the smaller Hollow and pin it to the roof of the Train Station, both mouths opening as a faint laughter of ethereal origin echoed out and he took a large chunk out of it, consuming it. It wasn't long until there was nothing left and he decided to no longer press the issue of his own origins, not for now at least. Taking this chance to vanish into the shadows once more.
