That night, Malakai discovered something thrilling and also frightening.
He had swallowed a grade three vita core and had felt the vita almost rip his body apart. Luckily, like earlier, the life essence acted just in time and sucked away the raging vita.
As this occurred, Malakai felt a shift. It was subtle, but he had felt it either way. Somehow, he knew the life essence had just gotten stronger.
Its emotions had gotten more… defined. Now Malakai could feel its hunger. It wanted more vita.
'Relax.' He thought, trying to calm it down. He was glad to see it worked. The raging emotions simmered down until it fell completely still.
'I hope this won't become a problem in the future.'
The life essence's emotion had almost overwhelmed him just now. If he kept on feeding it vita, wouldn't it grow to overpower him?
'I have to observe it carefully.'
