******************

As soon as Azula finished devouring the heart, a sharp pain sliced through her abdomen, causing her to wail loudly. The sound was animalistic, echoing through the now silent cell.

Doubling over, she clenched her stomach tightly as nausea overwhelmed her. Then, with a violent heave, she began to expel everything she had consumed, blood and flesh mingling together and splattering onto the ground in a grotesque display.

Just when Azula thought she was done, another wave of nausea hit her, and she involuntarily retched once more. This time, a sizable chunk of the heart she had consumed came back up, followed by a belch of relief at the end. Finally, the ordeal seemed to pass, leaving Azula feeling drained but strangely relieved.

She lay on her back, gazing up at the ugly, dirtied ceiling of her cell, her tattered outfit soaked in blood. The gruesome scene around her, including the corpse of the dark Fae nearby with a gaping hole in his chest, didn’t faze her in the slightest.

She was a creature of death, pain, gore, and blood, after all—a fact she accepted with chilling indifference. Azula had long grown accustomed to the brutality of her existence, finding solace in the chaos that surrounded her.

Having not fed in five years, Azula had acted impulsively the moment she had the opportunity to indulge. Instead of heeding caution and taking it slow, she succumbed to

her hunger-fueled frenzy, devouring without restraint. Her body, unaccustomed to nourishment after years of deprivation, rebelled against the sudden influx of sustenance. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Much like the human body, Azula’s demon form required a gradual reintroduction to sustenance after such a prolonged period of deprivation. Soft, digestible food taken at intervals would have eased her transition back to nourishment. But Azula had ignored such considerations, giving in to her bloodlust with reckless abandon.

Feeding voraciously and tearing into the heart, a particularly tough delicacy to digest, had proved too much for her system to handle. The result was a violent reaction, her body rejecting the influx of food in a visceral display of expulsion.

But Azula saw no other option, consequences be damned. She needed the strength that came from feeding, despite the inevitable toll on her stomach. The surge of power coursing through her veins was worth it, a big difference compared to her weakened state just moments before..

Time was of the essence. Although the dark Fae may have acted alone, he was still Benjamin’s second in command, and it wouldn’t be long before his absence was noticed. Azula knew she had to act swiftly before they came searching for him. Before she was overpowered. She would not repeat her mistake a second time.
