DOUBLE POST??? AIN'T NO WAY!

I crouched behind the crystal, watching as the family of slimes trailed away from me while one singular hound stayed behind, eyeing where I hid. Due to the crystals being slightly transparent I had to lower my self into the sticky goo that rested below them.

It was a few days after the 'incident' with Sinox. I was currently on the prowl and following a group of slimepups and slime hounds mixed with a few dragons. I was very desperate to reach them and satisfy my hunger, slowly growing very clumsy and tripping up cause lots of unnecessary noises. So much to the point one of them had their squinted eyes right on me, growling and lowering onto their fours before approaching.

Either I'd get my self killed or this was an opportunity, the rest of the group had already moved on from the caves so they wouldn't make it to difficult for me to take this specific one down. All of a sudden, I was dragged out of my hiding spot by the wing and being yanked right in front of the purple hound who was not very happy to see me. I stared at them wide eyed as they roared in my face and shoved me against the crystal again, ready to throw a heavy punch before I clawed their mask. They moved back slightly as I made an attempt to flee the corner, but they grabbed my by the tail and pulled me right back in, biting me directly on the shoulder before I could consider my next move. I winced in pain and returned the aggression with a bite to the back of their neck, yanking at it to try and peel them off of me. The hound moved back once again while taking me with them. I had finally got them in a more vulnerable state.

I dug my claws into their sides and heaved my self onto their back, clinging on to them while ruthlessly ripping at their flesh. The hound roared and bellowed in pain while flipping around and smashing themselves into walls before finally rolling onto their back. I quickly maneuvered my self on top on them and grabbed hold of their mask. I struggled for some time but eventually managed to rip it off of them, the hound falling limp almost instantly.

I leaned backwards and sighed in relief, putting a paw on my wound and gripping it tightly with a hiss. The bite was beginning to sting like hell but I didn't really mind it. I was pretty much starving and just ready to eat. I grabbed the corpse by the arm and dragged it towards me, taking a large bite out of it and chewing it quickly. I didn't find the time to savor the flavor. I suddenly noticed something was off as I continued to eat, my stomach began to feel more empty each bite I took and my gag reflexes would grow every time I chewed. I began to hear the voices again but this time they were demanding something more... Edible? What do they mean? They never complained when it came to feasting on slime creatures, why suddenly now? Maybe my head was just messing with me and I'll feel better once I finish my meal.

After a few more bites however, I felt sick. I couldn't eat anymore and eventually threw the remains down and held my stomach tightly. It was like it was eating it self, rejecting the food I had offered. Was that it? Did they need gootraxian flesh to satisfy their needs? It couldn't be. I didn't want to revert back to my old ways.

But those damn voices were desperate, making sure I'd get the message the third time if not the first.

all of what I had ate came straight out of my stomach and at my throat again, forcing me to release it again. I suddenly threw up. This was worst then starving, losing the very thing you thought would satisfy the hunger and suddenly feeling your stomach empty it self. I quickly stood up with no remorse for my recovery, my head was already spinning anyway. I needed something real to eat but I've already forgotten what. What was it I needed if not slime? I decided it'd be best if I sat back down and relax again, gathering my thoughts and contemplating what I should do from here.

That's when a shadowy figure towered over me.

"So this is what it's come to." It spoke.

"What?" I said confused, what were they referring to?
