You find some refugees

Your lover's body looks like a dehydrated corpse. You touch his remains lightly on the nose causing his whole body to disintegrate, its pieces being carried away by the wind. You grin. A smaller mind would call your actions ****, but you never killed your lover, you consumed him. His desires, his vital ****, his soul, all were still present inside of you, at least, in part.

Your old clothes rest on the ground, ripped and unusable. You worry not and begin to mutter a spell. New clothes materialize over your body. The Demon - Eisheth - appears by your side. She conjures up a mirror for you to see the spell's effect. Your new outfit is made from tattered clothes that show off your stomach, arms and legs but keep the rest of you hidden. You ought to keep your prey wanting more.

"I feel powerful" you tell the demon.

"Thou art powerful. More than ever. And thou will grow still with each new soul" says Eisheth.

You walk through the ruins of your former village. Harpies terrorize the skies while more bestial demons walk the grounds looking for survivors to claim as their own. The demons make poor hunters, they only look for humans in places they would hide. But you are better, you know where humans go when they are afraid.

At the ruins of the church you see a hidden trapdoor. During service there was always a carpet over where the trapdoor is. You pull open the door and enter the crypt beneath. Torches light the area and you see row after row of stone coffins, each one had a stone guardian standing over it. You close the trapdoor above you, then you hear a voice.

"Who goes there?" it was the village priest.

"Please, someone, help me" you call back, trying to sound as helpless as possible.

A young man who you recognize as your neighbour runs towards you, the priest follows behind carrying a torch. More villagers come up, trying to see the newest survivor.

Once the man gets close to you, you give out a loud sigh and collapse into his arms. His hold is firm; you were certain he would be your next victim.

"My brave hero" you say "I feel so safe in your arms." You see him smile. You laugh as you realize how easy he will be to control.

The priest comes beside you. "My daughter, are there any other survivors out there?"

"None, the demons have taken everyone but me. I barely escaped."

"We need to leave immediately" the priest announces to the rest of the refugees. "The demons may find us any moment, we must push forward into the caves."

You size up the crowd and guess there must be twenty people down here. As far as you were concerned, their souls were already yours.
